New features are constantly being

New features are constantly being de-
veloped in the enforcement Of the pro
hibitory liquor law In Iowa. Under the
Iowa law 1t Is the duty of the officers tc
seize liquors wherever found, aud this has
been done quite frequently. A few days
ago a lot of unstamped beer was seized
by the sheriff of Jefferson county and re-
moved from the brewery where 1t had
been manufactured. AS the storage Of
unstsmped beer In bulk at any other place
than that of its manufacture renders it
liable to seizure by the national govern,
ment, the United States internal revenue
at once took steps to secure the rights Of
the government. Now, what the revenue
officers will do with the beer after Selling
it remains to be seen. Although the
brewer was violating the law of Iowa, he
was in no way breaking the national law,
and 1t was no fault of his that
the beer was removed without being
stamped. AS the proceedings to seize
the beer on tho part of the national gov
eminent was instituted by the brewer he
likely expects to eventually recover
possession of it, but 1t will probably be-
come very stale by that time. The
Burlington Hawkeye speaking authorl-
tatively for Collector Burdette says:
There Is in this case no conflict as
might at first appear. The sheriff acted
under the law of the state without actual
knowledge of the requirements of the
general s~tatutes. The attorney who rep
resents the prosecution, advised the col
lector Of the situation and asked for In
structions. Such cases are not unlikely
to arise in the enforcement of prohibition,
but may In every case be avoided If at.
torneys and local officers generally will
take pains to familiarize themselves with
the general statutes governing the hand
ling of alcoholic liquors. A similar situs
tlon was about to arise at Ottumwa, some
time ago, but was avoided by consulting
the collector before removing the beer.
What latitude, If any. may be allowed
state and local officers, by the department
at Washington, the collector is unable to
say. As for himself, no is given no dis
erection; but Is. under heavy penalties,
obliged to suffer no infracsion of the reve-
nue. laws In the discharge OF this duty,
1t is his desire to avoid all contact with
the laws of the state, neither subiecting
the national ensctments to the position of
an assistant in the enforcement Of any
local statute, nor, on the other hand,
erecting with them q barber to the prose.

BOSS MANN1NG's PROGRAMME.

BOSS MANNING's PROGRAMME.
The most important political contest
this year will occur In New York. At
the state election next fail q full list of
state officers will be elected, an event
which will not occur again until 1891,
owing to the rotation In Office which Is
completed only once In six years. Boss
Manning, who Ia really the most lnfuen-
tlsl of Cleveland's cabinet officers. Is
shsping his course entirely with reg ard
to the coming fight, which will go far
toward determining the supremacy Of
parties in the future. The democrats
realize this, and of course will make a
determined effort to carry the state.
The administration at Washington will
render every assistance possible, but
whether it can keep the independents as
the allies Of the democratic party is
questionable. All pretense Of civil ser.
vice reform on the part Of Boss Manning
at least Is a mere sham, and the inde-
pendents are becoming pretty well
convinced Of that fact. As q leading
newspaper publisher he has never raised
his voice or lifted his hand In favor of
civil service reform. On the contrary,
his organ, the albany argus, has been
the mouth piece of the democratic ma
chine in New York, and he has been the
machines chief engineer. All the pre-
lenses of economy by cutting down the
clerkships and reducing the number of
federal officers In the custom house and
in the revenue service is simply q cloak
for the concerted effort which will soon
be made to man the public service with
partisan workers and strikers. However
much the Independents may be inclined
to credit Grover Cleveland with sincerity |
In regard to civil service reform and pat
ronage they certainly do not place the
least confidence In Boss Manning as q re-
former, and they are not likely to get
much civil service reform out of Coal Oil
Billy Whitney. A new broom generally |
sweeps clean, but the dust which the
democratic broom Is raising is merely in
tended to blind the eyes of the credulous
and gullible.

Adjoining the law library, on the second

ruined. An insurance of 81, 900 was carried

at eleven o'clock by Drs. Grady and Douglas.
The afternoon had been a quiet one with per
iods of slumber alternately upon the bed and
In an easy chair. At one time last night the
general became apprehensive that the symp
toms of the preceding evening might be re-
newed, and requested that DIR. Douglas
might be sent for. THE approximations were al
layed by the employment of the same means
as the night before, with success, but the gen
eral preferred to remain in an easy chair 30 as
