DORS NOT PROHrRIT

An alleged prohibitory law has been in operation in Iowa for few days more than a year, and it is interesting to see what it has accomplished. Inquiries concerning it's working have been made of the municipal State. In four-ffths of the cases the mayors answered the inquiries, and in the rest the city clerks or other trustworthy officials.
 The question, F'Is the sale of liquor openly carried on?'' was answered in the affirmative by half the mayors, including those of all the larger cities. The others say that the traffic is known to be clandestinely carried on. The whole number of saloons in opera tion is reported to be 916, against only ITO of the larger cities the increase has been msrked-in Council Bluffs from 50 to 75; in Burlington from 68 to 109, and in Davenport from 130 to 150. Under the old system every large place levied heavy license tax upon the seller, ranging high as $1,000, which produced an annual revenue of S26, 900 in Davenport and $27, ,000 in Burlington, and in the whole State about $200,O 1000. Of course no license can now be lawfully issued,
 
 authorities in four cities grant li- censes for the sale of Illegal drinks" such as lemonade and soda water, with clear understanding on both sides that the saloon keepers may vend beer or whiskey. To the question 'tFrom your ex- perience in an official capacity do you regard the repeal of the present law as advisableg' the authorities of the leading cities, with scarcely an exception, reply emphatically in the affirmative.
 All this is instructive It shows that in Iowa, as in other States, it is impossible to enforce prohibitory liquor law. It may be thought that efforts to enforce it have not been made, but such is not the case. Five sixths of the cities and towns heard from re- port that such efforts have been made, and a regular feature of the Iowa news for the last year has been the outbreaks and vio- fence due to liquor raids. Prohibition evil dently does Lot prohibit in Iowa.

9rlJ Goods.
A Golden Opportunity.

Our friends very well know that our prices on Dry Goods of the first quality are and always have been as low as have been made by any house in New Ha- ven. We do not buy and do not sell rubbish at any price, and especially do we not buy it to inaugurate a Great Cheap Sale to give a fictitious look of cheapness to our goods in stock. We prefer to make a cheap sale by making an honest reduction on goods which are honest, which are serviceable, and there by cheap, in fact as well as in seeming.
 Such a sale we begin on Thursday, July 16, and for one week we propose to make the cheapest prices ever quoted in New Haven.

''The prairies of the West are great places for wind," said telegraph operator. ''I used to have station out in Nebraska. right out on the open prairie, and the way the wind blowed was 8 caution. But it was lucky wind for me. At station about thirteen miles west my girl lived, and as had no Sunday trains or business of any kind I used to go up there and stay over Sunday. But livery horse from Saturday night to Monday cost me too much money, and so I rigged up sail on an old tie car. All I had to do Saturday night was to hoist my sail, push the car out on the main track and in less than an hour I was at my journeys end. For more than a year I went to see my girl every Saturday night by means of that sail car. Pretty sleek, wasn' ita'
 ''Yes, pretty sleek. But do you mean to say that the wind blowed in the same di- rection every Saturday night during all that timeg'
