Atkins, Architect or Builder.
SDrin1fed ReT,ubLicnn

The people are very pleasantly i'm
pressed with the determination of the
national supervising architect, Col
Freret, to put only architects or prac-
teal builders in charge of the erection
of government buildings. That is ex-
actly what private parties would do
and the public business ought to be
conducted on the same basis. Col
Freret's methods as illustrated i'm con-
nection with Springfield's coming post
Office are very good indeed.
But what is meet and fit in Spring
field, the capital of Western Massa-
chusetts, is equally desirable for Mont
pelier, the capital of Vermont. That
place is to have public building, and
we observe that the superintendent OF
construction thereof, paid at the rate
of 81 day, is Hiram Atkins, editor
of the Argus newspaper and self-con
stituted political boss. He has never
done any building, even in politics,
unless tearing down the reform wing
of his party might he so considered,
and we very much doubt his ability to
read plans at sight. In fact in equip
ment for the position he does not com
pare with David Power practical me-
chanic. Yet Power was rejected and
Atkins appointed. We do not remem-
Der whether Col. Freret was party to
the appointment of Atkins, but under
the admirable principles which he has
laid down, it was one unfit to be made.
and might as we'll be cancelled at once.
Col. Freret has at least inherited full
responsibility for the work on Mont
pelier's government building.

state could be sold in unbroken pack
ages by the importer, and this, in fact,
was one of the chief grounds of their
dissent. They said:
If, therefore, as the court now de-
cides, the constitution gives the right
to transport Intoxicating liquor into
Iowa from another state, and if that
right carries with it as one of its essen
tial ingredients authority in the con-
signee to sell or exchange such articles
after they are so brought in and while
in the original packages, it is manifest
that the regulation fOrbidding sales of
Intoxicating liquor within the state for
other than medicinal, culinary, me-
chanical or sacramento purposes, and
then only under permit from board
of supervisors, will be of little practi-
cal value.
The dissenting justices refused to
unite in the opinion of the court be-
cause they regarded the majority ruling
as a virtual overthrow or breaking
down of the Iowa prohibitory law.
They said that under it "anyone-even
a citizen of Iowa-desiring to sell in
toxicating liquors in that state need
only arrange to have them delivered
to him from some point in another
state in packages of varying sizes, as
may suit his customers" If such is
the meaning of the court it certainly
opens the way for the saloon traffic in
fa no a
to put up liquors for the Iowa trade in
bottles containing any number of
drinks desired, and then ship them in
to that state for 'sale in the original
packages" and the same rule would
apply to other prohibitory states.
This decision is understood to mean
that it is the opinion of the court that
liquors imported from other states or
foreign countries can be sold freely in
Iowa in the original packages. mas
much as these "original packages" can
be made of any size, containing guam
titles from a single drink up to a bar
rel, it's practical effect would seem to
be to annul prohibitory laws in the
states where they exist. At all events
the decision will seriously cripple the
police power of prohibitory states in
dealing with the liquor traffic. UnfOr-
tunately, as has been said, the prospect
is not good that the court will reverse
i is decision. The vacancy in the chief
j usticeship will be filled by democrat
and the democrats are mostly anti-pro-
hibtiOnists. If other vacancies occur
during President Cleveland's term he
will be pretty likely to fill them with
justices who are opposed to prohibit
ton.

Fast Day Proclamation.

Our ancestors, ever a law-abiding
and God-fearing people, lived and died
lmbued with an unutterable faith in
divine goodness and mercy and the eff
ficacy of prayer. They ever recognize
ed the duty of living religious lives,
devoted to God and to the proper OBJ
servance of his teachings, and in con-
sequence enjoyed both happiness and
prosperity.
In their thankfulness, and in recOg-
milton of their dependence upon di-
vine aid, they established custom of
having annually a day set apart by
constituted authority to be devoted to
religious worship and devotion to God.
Believing that this custom of the fa-
theirs was wise as we'll as beneficial to
the state and to individuals, and that
it ought to be continued and perpetu-
ated, 1 do therefore appoint Friday,
the 9th day of April next, as day of
fasting humiliation and prayer. Let
the day be one of prayer and religious
conservation and to that end recon-
mend that all our people abstain from
unnecessary labor and refrain from
recreation not in keeping with the Oc-
casiOn, and meet at their customary
places of worship and there join in
such obseI vances as becOmeth God
serving people.
Gov. E. j. ORMsBEE.

A BLOW TO PROHIBITION.

If the Chicago Tribune is correct in
its views concerning the recent decision
of the supreme court of the United
States on the Iowa prohibition case,
the cause of prohibition has received a
serious set back. The decision holds,
says the Tribune, that liquors cannot
only be imported into Iowa from other
states for personal use but that the i'm
porter may offer them for sale and en-
gage in the open traffic without being
amenable to the state prohibitOry law
and what is true of Iowa is true of
all other states where prohibitOry laws
exist. Following is summary of the
Tribune's article:
The point as to the sale of liquor
once imported into Iowa was not nee
essarily involved in the case before the
supreme court and was not directly
passed upon by the court, but the JUS
tees rendering the majority opinion
made an intimatiOn regarding it which
seems almost conclusive. The justices
in the minOrity-Waite, Gray and Har-
fabricated the majority opinion as
holding that liquors taken into the
