A Prohibition Decision from the Supreme

Court.
Dubuque Special Telegram, Oct A.-Ths
first case resulting from the operation Of the
prohibition law in Iowa was decided by hesu.
preme court to-day-W. Bert Albertson ap.
pellant vs. George Kriechbaum, sheriff. The
plaintiff was ARRESTED on warrant issued by
Justice Stahl of Burlington on a charge
of violating the prohibitory law. Albert
son asked for, a change of venue, alleging
that he could not obtain justice before
Stahl, also making some allegation in
reference to other justices in the same town.

Justice Conley, when he filed motion to dis
miss the case on the ground that tho justice
had no jurisdiction to try the case, he not being
the nearest justice to Stahl, and that the latter
act was unlawful The motion was overrulcd
Albertson was fined 800 and costs, in all

JAIL The opinion Is by Judge Reed. The
judge holds that
withstanding tho amonnt of fine provided fol
4lCO anil costs, and holds that the costs are
merely incidental to the proceedings. They in
MO proper sense pertain to the penalty. The
power to tax the coats to defendant exists in
dependently Of the statute in question:: The
provision with reference I'd Imprisonment of
the defendant does not empower the conrt to
imprisoa him in punishment for his otfense.
The provision in the judgment for his commit
ment is conditional aud contingent 1t can
only be enforced in case of his refusal to per-
form the pccuniary Judgment against him.
Its Office like that OF the provision for cxecu-
ton in civil judgments, is to afford the means
for the enforcement of the Judgment.
The Imprisonment is not imposed in lieu OF
the fine; neither does it operate to satisfy the
Judgment for the fine and cost, however long
it may be continued The conclusion that the
only punishment prescribed by the statute for
the offence of which defendent was accused,
is the fine which the COURTS empowered to I'M
pose, follows necessarily. we think, from the
terms of the statute and that view is we'll sus-

Beauregard's article in the Century
on the subject of The Battle of Bull
Run says that jeff Davis was timid when
boldness was required, and rash when
caution should have been consulted and
that he was minded, stupid and
ignorant in regard to military plans.
It has become fashionable among ex-
confederate officers to abuse JEFF Davis
and make him scapegoat for every
misfortune, but it is doubtful if any of
them, placed in the same circumstances
could have been more efficient. Certain
it is that the result would have been
the same whoever might have been
placed at the head of the defunct con-
confederacy.

The Baldwin Locomotive firm of
Philadelphia that employ in busy times
thousands of workmen, has reduced the
working time of its employees to eight
hours per day, and fears that it may
have to reduce it still further, as it's or
aers are not sufficient to keep the men
employed as long as usual. The plan
adopted by this firm is one to be great
ly commended, and one which other
manufacturers employing either large
or small number of workmen should
emulate. The plan of the Baldwin
Locomotive firm, while it, of course,
reduces wages in proportion as the time
of the operatives is reduced, still se-
cures to every employee of the concern
means to live. It is, consequently, a
good plan in double way, for while it

The Power of France.
rom the Courier DIES Etats Unis.

1--WE have often heard the question.
How would it be if Germany, Selling
the moment when France is engaged
with Tonquin, with China, and even
with England, would suddenly turn
The answer is simple. France would
appeal to her army and to her fleet,
and would fight. 1t is not because she
happens to have Il few thousand soldiers
and marines, principally marines, oc-
cupied in Asia and in Africa, that she
can he taken at disadvantage, OF that
her military power can be compromised
All her forces actually engaged are in
dependent of her regular organization.
Her nineteen army corps and their re-
serves are intact and ready to be mo-
bilized at the first signal. and her hun
dred and forty regiments of the
territorial army can be put on war
footing IN twenty four hours. Intact
also is her magnificent fleet of ironclads,
which is inferior to none and which is
amply able to hold it's own against any
other that might challenge it.
"It would be dangerous error to
Judge the France of 1884 by the France
of 1871. Then she had no army; now
she has, and knows how to use it. The
France of 1884 is power that attacks
nobody and fears nobody. Mr.. Bis
marck knows this as we'll as anybody
in the world, and it is for this reason
that ne tries to be on better terms with
France. If she was feeble and at the
mercy of Germany is it likely that the
German chancellor would be so polite
to her and would make the advances
that he now lavishes upon her? From
1871 to 1875 he never for moment
departed from his naughty and aggres-
sive attitude. But this attitude became
gradually toned down as France became
an adversary more and more formidable.
Now he is more conciliatory than ever
almost friendly, because of the daily
progress of our ornaments, especially
our artillery and service of mobilization.
Let those who honor us with their SOL
icitude be without fear. China, Ton
quin and Madagascar cannot constitute
a sufficient embarrassment to paraiyze
the active forces of France, and to OK
of Germany, including also the warlike
vclleities of England. This is as we'll
known in Berlin as it is in London,
and neither Mr.. Bismarck nor Mr.. Glad
stone would like to take the risks of
such an adventure.
Speaking Of the discomfort of the Eng
lish in regard 70 the attitude Of Franco
In the East, the Courier disn,isses the
question with the remark in plain Eng
fish. "Let them go to the deuce"
All this is very bold language, and
it's interest rests principally in the fact
that it reproduces the present tone of
the French press, which is no longer
subdued in regard to foreign affairs.
The extreme caution and the humility
that characterized it for the pasr twelve
years have suddenly vanished; and now
the Gallo rooster, recovered from his
wounds, feels himself stronger than
ever, and crows again.

An Inducement for Immigration.

Mr.. Geo. Hamilton, from his quiet

Missouri looking for farm, when
land agent showed him through Ray
county, and offered the following in
ducements to settle there: "There is
no such land elsewhere in Missouri, and
the society can not be surpassed. DO
you see that house over there? Well,
there is where the Ford brothers lived,
and where poor Charlie committed sui
eide. And also that one across the field?
Wood Hite was killed in that house.
Over yonder little ways is the old
homestead IF the James family. If you
could only stay over until tomorrow I
would take pleasure in introducing you
to Frank, whom we expect over from
Boonville to spend a day or two with
us. About six miles further on we
come to the Mormon settlement. All
good people to live among. We have

ty." Mr.. Hamilton took the Dext train

Chinese Feeding Their Dead
From the Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Early yesterday morning hacks and
express wagons loaded with Cinnamon,
roast pigs, etc., commenced to pou1
across the Stark street ferry On their
way to Lone Fir cemetery to observe
the religious ceremony commonly called
feeding the dead. A reporter OF. this
paper, who visited the cemetery during
the aftern Don, found large number Of
Cinnamon engaged in this pious duty.
The roast pigs and chickens were placed
around on the ground among the
graves of the Chinese and at the head
of nearly every grave candles were burn
ing. From the best information to be OBJ
tanned in regard to this custom it seems
that the food is intended as sort of
propitiatory offering to the Chinese
devil. The offerings varied according
to the habits and tastes of the occupants
of the graves. At the grave of one,
