PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
How 1t Doesn't Work in the Cities of Daven-
port and Des Moines


port and Des Moines.
7. q. Crawford, in New York World.
Wherever the foreign element is strong, there
the prohibition legislation is dead failure. In
this town of Davenport there is population of
perhaps %, 900; of this population the Germans
make I'D from $4,000 to 10000 There is no
evidence to be found anywhere here of the fact
that Iowa has any prohibitory laws. Every sa-
loon is open and does business undisturbed.
The bars at the hotels open and as free as
before the law There are a number of beer
gardens in the city, which we'll patronized
The town is fully as orderly and quiet MS in any
of the temperance towns where the laws
said TO be enforced Here the drinking
is confined to beer and light wines. In
Des Moines, where the temperance peo-
pie have concentrated themselves for the
purpose of having one large town in the
State conform to the law. the drinking of beer
has been greatly reduced. but IL it's place has
come excessive use of whisky. Whisky can be
obtained in smaller quantities. and is therefore
more portable. AS it is not permitted to drink
liquor upon the premises where iG is purchased
the question of portability has brought whisky
to the front. Under the workings of the law
there is very little demand for wines. Mr.
Eiboeck, the editor of the Stats AuZeiger, said
to ms that one day he wished to get some wine
for the celebration of a wedding at his house,
and could only find six bottles in the town. The
same gentleman, who is very conservative
German, who believes in high license and local
option, says never in the history of Des Moines
has he seen so much drinking as there is now;
it is now found in so many I'M
usual places. He says that the sight
of so much drinking under the temperance
legislation has almost made him resolve not to
drink another drop of any kind. Liquor is now
sold in all the little shops. I was shown paint
shop where the master workman kept keg of
beer constantly in his shop to sell to his sub
ordinates and for his own use. Near him was
tailor shop where the knight of the goose and
shears made a fat and comfortable income for
himself by having all kinds of Honor slowed
away In the corners of his shop for sale to tried
and trusted cronies. This system extended
throughout the town. The profits in liquor
dealing are so great that it has tempted many a
poor man to take the chances of detection and
engage in the business The temperance PEOPLE
do not attempt To deny that liquor is pretty
freely sold in the State, and that in many of the
cities there is pretense of observing or enforc-
ing the law. They say that too much must not
be expected of them at the start. They have
not very much money. 1t takes money to en-
force the laws and to keep up this system Of

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.

Bishop Foster and the Illinois Conference.
To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
have seen some reports in the Journal that
do Bishop Foster great injustice, and you will al
low me to say that. having heard his allusion to
correct the statements published concerning
him. 1t is true that he declined to appoint
evangelist to lead the conference devotions. but
far I beard land 1 mingled freely among
the preachers) but very few took exceptions to
the Bishops action AS to the statement con-
corning the crying child, 1t does the Bishop gross
injustice. An audience of more than thou
sand people had gathered, from far and near, to
hear the grandest preacher of the Methodist
Church. He was in poor voice and health, and
it was doubtful whether he would be able to
preach at all. Some one in the congregation
had child with marvellous lung power and it
used that power SO vigorously to silence the
Bishop while trying to offer the opening prayer,
and to annoy the entire congregation almost be-
yond endurance The Bishop stated that it
panied him to have to say that he was physical
ly unable to preach unless there was perfect
quiet, and, while he deeply sympathiZed with
any mother whose child was fretful he was I'M
der the painful necessity of asking that any fret
full child should be quietly removed while the
congregation singing. Nothing could be
done more kindly delicately, and the entire
audience commended the heart as we'll as the ut
terance of the Bishop. the troublesome child
was taken out; and l saw no one else 60 out. and
was seated where l could see all of the doors.
l never heard anyone censure the Bishop until
the Journal gave its correspondent a voice. The
Bishop made hosts Of friends in the Illinois Con-
ference, and will always be most gladly well
coined among w. Il. GOOWIN.

Sore Eyes

The eyes are always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of it's condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced painful in
hammation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for a number of years. BY the
advice of physician / commenced taking
Ayers SarSaparilla. After using this
medicine q short time was completely
Cured
My eyes are now in splendid condi-
ton, and am as well and strong as ever.
Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. H.
For a number of years was troubled
with humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any relief until / commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine has effected complete cure, and /
believe it to be the best of blood puri-
tiers. &C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. III.
From childhood, and until with few
months, have been afflicted with Weak
and Sore Eyes. I have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,

Glover, VT.
I suffered for year with infamma-
ton in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, to no purpose, Twas final
ly induced to use Ayers Sarsaparilla.
BY Taking
three bottles of this medicine have been
entirely cured. My sight has been re-
stored, and there is no sign of infiamma-
ton, sore, or ulcer in my eye. - Kendall
T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was aff]ict-
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two years she never saw light of
any kind. Physicians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On the recommen-
dation of friend purchased bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.
