IF the decision of Judge Ney, that
under the Iowa ProhibitOry law a man
cannot lawfully manufacture cider for
use in his own family, should be sus-
tanned by the court of highest resort, it
will become the manifest duty Of the
State to provide for a bonded ware
house in each town, in which farmers
may store their cider until, as vinegar,
it becomes a legitimate article Of con-
sumption and commerce. 1t would be
a strange condition of affairs if the
apple-grower should be compelled to
let his unmarketable fruit to 60 to
waste, and to purchase for himself and
his family the compound turned out by
the vinegar factory.

in the law is the life of the whiskey
trust.
The political influence and power of
the organized liquor interest exceeds
that of any other combination of busi-
ness men on earth. Its members av-
erage much lower than those of any
other class in all the nobler elements
of manhood, and average higher in all
the debasing instincts. Their profits,
which are unparalleled both as to per
cent and quantity, have but little re-
lation to capital or skill; and from
their 100000 political club houses,
nearly million servants, dupes, and
victims 60 to primaries ane polls to do
their bidding. 1t puts its tools into in
Vulnerable offices, and, whenever a
public man dares to oppose its COM
mands, it wages unrelenting war
against him, but-as in the case of
Senator Windon-on other issues and
false charges. The welfare of the ma
ton demands that the power of this
arrogant and vicious Oligarchy shall be
destroyed, and the repeal of the ma
tiOnal liquor taxes would deal it a
deadlier blow than can be done in any
other way, at this time.-Midldnd

The Life of the Whiskey Trust.

1t costs but 10 cents to manufacture
a gallon whiskey. A barrel containing
fifty gallons costs only $3.50 to make.
The tax upon it at 80 cents a gallon is
$45 and that investment the govern
ment puts up for three years without
interest. There is a lossat the end of
three years of about seven gallons by
evaporation on a barrel of whiskev

Oemency for . Cadet.
HE SENTENCE OF DISMISSAL REVERSED m m
PRESIDEyT.


President.
Cadet TRADER Norman, fourth class, United
States military academy, has been found guilty
by court-martial Of knowingly making false
statement to his superior officer and sentenced
to dismissal from the service II appears that
the cadet, having been discovered visiting in
cadet barracks, falsely stated that he had per-
mission from the officer in charge TO make the
visit for the purpose Of getting an algebra.
The proceedings having been submitted to the
President he Endorsed them as follows:
''This cadet, at the time Of the commission
Of the ofense of which he has been convicted,
had been in the military academy but Q very
short time, and can easily see that the sud-
denness with which he was called upon 10 ex-
onerate himself from violation Of rules and
the lack of quick appreciation Of the grave
fault Of untruthfulness presented temptation
which il was difficult for him TO resist. Abso-
Lutte truthfulness IL . necessary element OF
manly character and an infallible test Of genu-
inc soldierly disposition. While, therefore,
those attending our military academy should
distinctly understand that willful lying and pre-
varication win not be tolerated under the dis
cipline adopted for their regulation, still, IN
view Of eli DE facts surrounding this particu-
lar case, and in confederation Of the certncates
Of the cadets good character which have been
presented 10 me, and the puniahment he has
already suffered, have determined TO remit
the sentence Of the oourt-martaAl o1emies1ng
Cadet Traber Norman from ths service OF the
United eta4ss."

The complaints made to the health officer on
Friday, and after to the District Commission
ers on Saturday morning, relative to the foul
and unwholesome condition Of the dissecting
rooms of the Georgetown Medical college,
on II street, near 10th, are verified by every
truthful and intelligent statement Of the case.
Had Health Officer Townshend or had Drs.
Poole and Lovejoy inspected the building
when the complaint was FIRST made, on Friday
afternoon. they possibly might have realized in
ameasure what the heavy and sultry atmosphere
Of Friday night would bring to the suffering
but helpless citizens in the immediate vicinity;
but no attention whatever was given by the
health officer TO the urgent appeals for relief
which were made-one TO his chief clerk, at 2
o'clock p. m, and the other TO himself, ct 1880
that night. At least there was no abatement
of the nuisance until the COMMISSIONER, ON
hearing the committee Of gentlemen repre-
senting the neighborhood on Saturday morn
ing called the said Health Officer Townshend
into reouisition, and then the building was or
dered to be thoroughly cleaned and disin-
infected before inspection. However much
these respected physicians may think has been
said about their dissecting room that 10 un-
true, it certainly can have no bearing what
eyer on this case, for residents visitors, every.
body who walked the street or came within
range of the windows Of this institution, were
disgusted and sickened by the loathsome gases
of decaying bodies which issued from them
butchered humanity made on the platform in
the rear, nor ID there . possible doubt that the
windows Of St. Josephs orphan ssylum have

tnuance Of q means by which al kinds Of

To Welcome Father ChappeIle.

COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO ARRANGE A RRcEp.
TIoN AT ST. MATTHEWS.
The announcement given out by the assistant
pastor of st. Matthews that there would be Q
meeting of the congregation to appoint COM
mittee to welcome Rev. Father Chappelle ON
his return from France, brought quite large
gathering to the church chapel, ON 18th street,
last night. Father Mackin, the assistant pas
tor of the parish, called the meeting to order
He then designated Judge Merrick as perma-
nent chairman, and w. J. Miller as sec
rotary. After considerable discussion il
was decided to appoint a committee of one to
represent the congregation. He is 10 go TO
New York, together with any other member
who chooses to go, and telegraph the arrival
of Father Chappelle. 1t was decided also to
appoint a committee of nine, with Father Mac
nm as chairman, TO act a finance committee,
and take charge of all collections, as well az
making disbursements. Ona motion of Mr. ID.
o. Callahan, a committee of five, consisting Of
Messrs. j. G. Berret, ID. B. Clark. E. f. Arnold,
Melton E. Smith, and ID. o. Callahan, were
chosen to draft resolutions Of welcome. 1t was
decided to abandon the idea of banquet on
the return of the pastor and substitute a recep-
ton at the house. The members of the other
committees win be named in few days.

"a DRUMMER S DREAM. -

A little room in little hotel,
In a little country town,
On little bed with musty smell
a man was lying down.
A great big man with a great big snore-
For he lay on his back, you see
And peaceful look on his face he wore,
For sound asleep was he.
In his dreams what marvellous trips he
made,
What heaps of stuff he sold
And Nobody failed, and every one paid,
And his orders were good as gold.
He smiled and smothered scornful
laugh,
When his fellow drummers blowed :;
FO1 he knew no other had sold the half
Of what his order book showed.
He got this letter from home one day:
Dear Sir-we've no better term
To use in your case than simply to say:
Henceforth you are one of the firm. "
And glorious change this made in his
life,
He now from the road withdrew:
And really soon got TO know his wife,
His son, and his daughters too.
But with thump-bang-w
thump-bang again,
The boots" had knocked at the door:
1T 5 very near time for the 6:10 train, -
And the Drummer S Dream" was
