NOTWITHSTANDING the Iowa prohibit
tory law, the Collector of Internal Rev.
enue at Davenport has issued over 400
United States licenses for the sale
Of liquor, ale, wine, and beer.
Nearly 100 of the licenses have been taken
out III Davenport. Collector Simpson,
of the Dubuque district, says that fully
nine.tenths of the saloonkeepers there
have renewed their licenses. This looks
as if the liquor men propose to do bust
ness under the United States laws, and
pay no attention to the state prohib-
it)ry law.

THE exact nature of the Occur d'Alene
mines will be definitely known pretty
soon. A returned miner writes to a San
Francisco paper that if there ever was
such q ''damnable fraud got up on the
face Of Gods earth" as the excitement
over these mines, he has not heard of it.
He adds that when he left there were
Hundreds of poor devils begging bread. i
This shows how easy it is to get up
q big boom on nothing. 1t is just SO in
politics. Mr.. Tildon's health is the
Occur d'Aleno mine of the democracy.

TBE bill which Senator Van Wyck in
troduced Monday to prevent foreign own
ership of American land, strikes right at
the root of a great evil. The country is
threatened with a land monopoly which
will be asoppressive as..the land monopoly
of Ireland has been. Great tracts of the
best lands in the west have been taken
possession Of by foreign corporations for
mere speculation. Thousands of actual
settlers have in this way been prevented
from obtaining farms. This has un-
doubtedly greatly hindered the settle
ment and progress of the northwestern
territories. Unless it is stopped it will
paralyze the development of some of the
most promising regions, The corpora.
tions who gobble up these lands have no
just right to them. They are simply COM
binations of money sharks abroad who
want to grasp the last possible cent out
their bargains. The lands Of any country
should be possessed by it's own citizens.
It is plain on the face OF it, as the BEE
has previously pointed out, that if they
pass into the hands of foreigners who have
no other interest in them than to make
money out of them, danger is incurred.
Congress can do nothing better for the
interests of the country than to put that
danger out of the was as soon as possible.
There ought to be no hesitation aoout
passing this bill. Public safety from
grinding monopoly demands it.

The libel suit brought by Dr Ketch- am of Woodbury against A. E. Knox. editor of the Woodbury Reporter has recently been on trial before the Supe- rior Court at Lltchfield. Dr Ketcham was the town agent for the sale of liquors for medicinal and certain other specific uses. The suit was brought in consequence of communication that appeared in the Reporter, which spoke of the town agency as the meanest rum hole" in town. The evidence, re- garding the reputation of the agency was conflicting and the agents book showed some 90 or 50 sales to common drunkards, but the jury brought in a verdict of S225 in favor of the plaintiff.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

NOTICE TO OUBSCRlBERS.
 THE NEWS is conducted on the plan of giving each subscriber value received for their money. We endeavour to make the NEWS itseLf worth the subscription price, instead of neglecting the paper and then giving the subscribers some little premium to keep them good na- tured.
 We are aware that many papers offer clubbing rates with other papers and magazines On the surface this appears to be an inducement, and a subscriber naturally thinks it is clear gain to him. In majority of cases instead of being an advantage it is really disadvantage, for it should be understood that 1t requires much tune in every newspaper office to keep the accounts correctly, where even limited number avail themselves of clubbing rates, and most editors of country papers have to keep their own books, and it will be readily seen that if considerable portion of the editors tune is occupied in keeping accounts he cannot devote as much time to the paper or keep it up to the standard, he other wise would.
 We want to place our subscribers on an equal footing with the subscribers to other county papers, and we now think we can. The problem with us has been how to give our subscribers the benefit of clubbing rates without keeping &C., counts with so many different publish CTS, and thus consuming time that should be devoted to the paper. We have solv- ed the problem and here is the explain ation. It is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one subscription agen- cy than to keep an account Of one Item with 5000 different publishers. Egles- tons subscription agency at Falls Vil- lage, formerly Deans club a9ency) can furnish 5000 different periodicals at club rates to single subscribers, subscriptions to commence at any time. Those sub- scribers to the NEWS, who wish to obtain at reduction, almost any paper, maga- zine or book published, will find it to their advantage to subscribe for papers or magazines through Egleston's sub scription agency, or purchase books from said agency, and they can also club the NEWS with 5000 different periodicals by addressing said agency, who will furnish price-list on application.
