The prohibition law in Iowa is now
supposed to be in operation as far as
outward appearance goes, bnt if the
sales Of the ardent recorded in the
last days Of the old dispensation are
to be credited, the bibulous have pro-
yided literally against the time of
their tribulation, and are fortified
for a considerable siege. The st.
Paul Pioneer Press has the following
very sensible remarks on the new
law.
II Is not difficult to know inst what results will
be accomplished in Iowa. 1t may he assumed
that tho state is populated By human beings. not
essentially different from the race us it exists in
other communities. That being the case, such
Of them az are personally disposed to abstain
from intoxicants will do 30 under prohibition, as
they would or mishtd under license. The re-
mainder will resort to tho usual shifts. liquor
will be sold as it has been In every community,
whoever may have devised its laws, and drinking
will no on under the conditions OF secrecy and
hypocrisy which are tho principal fruits of pro
hibition. The presence On the statute book Of
q law which no Legislature has q right to enact
and the systematic violation OF it by those who
feel that such violation is no crime wheu,thei,
personal rights are invaded, will do their baneful
work in encouraging contempt for oil law; while
those who are rendy to believe that o thing nj
longer exists because they do not happen any lonI
or to see % many outward evidences OF it vii
probably assert with the usual vociferation thu
a miracle has been wrought. .......A tithe OF tn,

cised through moral ~snasion, effect reforms rad
ical and permanent, because wrought in humal
character and not with paper and printer's ink
Iowa cannot and will not prove an exception t
tho rnle that prohibition does not prohibit. TIL
grent misfortune is that tho heaviest curse o
this species OF Legislation, it's denoralizing effec
upon the citizen, and through himu upon the state
makes itself felt and seen in full force only at
later epriod.

His idea was a book, and be would read
anything he could get his hands on. had
been going there u long time before l met
him. 1 knew there was a tJlm,' but he had
never come within range of my vision. l
r~ecollect the first day 1 ever saw him. l
was going to his Mothers and he was COM
ing down tue steps as l approached.
There were four or five steps, and he was
down before I started up, but he turned to
look, walking one way with his eyes another,
until his foot caught on a cellar-door. He
went down full length, and the books he was
carrying were scattered in every direction.
| had Just reached the top of the steps in
time to see him fall, and l stood and laughed
immoderately; laughed until he had good
Gauss to grow angry. He got up blushing,
but took my bad havio good-naturedly.
At that nge l never saw him look like any
thing. His hobby for books told on him, and
his whole appearance said that he wa Il
student. He was just ut that age when boys
can't be made TO look nice. As he grew older,
and began to fill out he became more careful
and looked better. When he went south, and
about the time that no was married., he was

A NOVEL. CITY cLua
Something to save the Thousands of
Very Human Young Men,
CrOifut in Pioneer Pres

fSNSN AN1-
young man among the passengers who
is well known in New York tells me OF a
scheme on foot in New York that thoroughly
deserves to succeed. 1t is for the establish
ment of a Bowery Young Mems club for the
vast male population centering in that thor
oughfare. There are some 80, 900 or a 1000
young men living in a radius of half a mile
of the Bowery and Grand street for whom
nothing is being done, and who are not able
TO do very much for themselves. They are
mostly respectable and self-supportinS
t~radesmen, mechanics and statesmen. They
have generally no families They are
very human young men, fond of
fun and exercise, living in the
middle OF the world, desiring to live decent
lives and be honest citizens. They sleep in
cramped and unwholesome hall bedrooms
much as possible. They nave few friends,
and there is little in the churches that they
care for.
"What we want to do" says my informant,
dis to build for them some place which will
nttract them out of the streets, gin mills
and dance houses. There is one theatre
concert saloon down there that has a hundred
fairies to entities the young men in. We
want to beat that in attractiveness. We are
going 20 build, il we can get SIS, 000-and a
large amount OF this has already been sub

will have a spacious reception-room on q
level with the sidewalk, to tempt young
strollers in. Back OF this and down stairs
will he a fine gymnasium and bowling alley.
over the reception room will be n good IL
brary and reading room, Will games OF all
sorts. On the second floor, in the renr, will
be a spacious hall, capable of seating a thou
sand, and here will be 6rst-class lectures,
humorous, scientific, historical. etc. On the
next floor will be a music hall, where they
can nave choral and music, a
literary and debating society, amateur theat-
ricals, etc, on tho various nights in the week.
Besides this there will be class rooms for
teaching reading and writing, the languages,
photography, or anything. An annual
membership ticket will be issued at the low
est possible price, say SO, emitting the holder
to all the facilities of the Bowery club. A
summer garden on the roof would also be m
attractive feature il it should seem practical
BILE. On the board of management will be
representatives OF the young men of the local
ity, and the club will be wholly their own.
The movement has life in it and it is going

An electrician has been explaining in de-

-GENERLL GRANT is unquestionably
very badly involved financially by the fail
ure of the company with which he has
been connected. Grants name was the
principal thing to give the firm n stand
ing. He seems, however, to have paid
no practical attention to either the de
tails or general management of the bust
ness further than going through the
agreeable formality of Withdrawing his
monthly stipend from the treasury
Every confidence seems to have been re-
posed in Wards integrity and honesty
but from all appearances that gentleman
h~asrproven himself entirely unworthy of
the trust. A movement is already or
ganized to again place General Grant on
his feet financially, and with Roscoe
Conklipg at his backlto give him legal
advice and William II. Vanderbilt in the
same neighborhood of his anatomy with
financial aid, Something remarkable in
this line may reasonably be anticipated.
