Iowa has stringent prohibitory law, but there is difficulty in enforcing it. In the en- terprising city of Council Bluffs Mayor Vaughn has resorted to nullifcation of an original and remunerative kind. He issues licenses duly signed by himself and the city clerk, authorizing the sale of "drinks not prohibited by law" Under these licenses, by mutual agreement, the holders are per mitted by the mayor and police to sell any thing they choose. As the rate charged IS $25 month, payable in advance, and as Mayor Vaughn enforces the law with relent- less vigor against all who do not take out his licenses, it is not surprising that Council Bluffs derives g handsome income from his system.
 The removal of General Huidekoper from the office of postmaster of Philadelphia is not conspicuous illustration of the devotion of the Democratic president to the great cause of civil service reform. General Huidekoper lost his right arm at Gettys- burg. He has been a very efficient post master. President Arthur reappointed him last February at the urgent request of lead ing business men of all parties. He has held the postmastership five years and four months ''In that space" says a Philadel- phia newspaper, t'the affairs of the postofice and have been managed in the most admirable thoroughly business-Eke manner; he has brought the character of the service in this city up to standard that is probably not equalled by any other city in the United States" MT. Schuyler Crosby, recently first assistant postmaster general, expresses great surprise at the Presidents action. He says that General Huidekoper was not an active partisan and never neglected his official duties for politics. MT. Harrity, the new haera cffans naI,aocratic

A correspondent of the Paris Temps has taken the trouble to discover that there are in Paris at the present time no fewer than twenty three establishments which employ more or less considerable staff of clerks in writing out addresses for circulars and ad- vertisements to be sent through the post Although these establishments are, as matter of course, busier than usual at elee- ton time-having had to write out the ad
