sisiU DIT IfdEDOT-
WASHINGTON, August 6th.-The Presi-
Dental party left at $50 this morning, via
the Pennsylvania road, in the private car

tiary, and the latter ia March last to six
months in Jail and to pay costs. Both par
dons were granted because of Ill health and
StaleY's poverty.

HOW IOWA WENT AsTRA,


The Chicogo Tribune makes an interesting
explanation of how Iowa was thrown away
in the last election. tt says that when the
present prohibitory law was adopted FIVE
years ago the Republicans lost heavily in the
river counties, aud the disaffection has in
creased, as the consequences of paper prohi-
bition and practical free whisky have been
made plain. The enforcement of prohibi-
ton proved impossible in communities where
the majority opposed it, Even when the law
was arranged to deny trial by jury in liquor
cases 1t remained dead letter in the river
cities because public opinion did not support
it. If in such communities judges could be
found disposed to enforce the State law,
prosecutors and witnesses could not be had.
In anti-prohibition towns where open saloons
were abolished the traffic was merely trans
ferred to the drug stores or to secret drink
ing dens removed from police supervision
doggeries of the worst possible character. In
other places like Dubuque and Davenport
there was hardly pretense of concealment,
and dram-shops multiplied without restraint
and ran wide open. Taking advantage OF
the situation the Democrats in their recent
State convention pledged themselves to high
license and local option. Grasping at an op.
portunity to stop the rule of free whisky and
subject the saloons to a restrictive maximum
tax of $500, and as much more as communi.
ties might favor, thousands of Republican,
who have grown tired of free whisky voted
for Boies to express their opinion of the i'm
prscticability of prohibition in cities and tt
demand actual and effective control of ths
liquor traffic.

To the Editor ofthe JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Is there no way to stop this evil Of crying
Sunday paperss It is said the people must
have their Sunday papers. So the people
will have their liquors. Is that good
reason why liquors should be cried through
our streets every Sunday morning, to the an

If man partly Intoxicated on a week day
should make one-tenth part the noise news
boy does on Sunday morning he would be
earted Into the police station at once. It is
said the Sunday paper is made on the week
day. So are rags before they are made into
paper and covered by moral corruption
for Sunday readers. So are the cider
and the vegetables, which the
vender haa just as good a right to
cry as the newsboy to cry his papers. If one
class has right to cry, others have, and
when will we stop? Why close the saloon
and allow lager beer to be cried in the
streetsa There is more poison in the papers
to the mind than in beer to the body.
How, you say, shall this evil be stoppeda
Let the police commissioners see that the
chief and the police force do their duty. Let
good people refuse to buy Sunday papers.
Let the Sabbath committee awake to the
evils of Sabbath desecration. In the name
of decency, humanity and Christianity, do
let US have one day in seven free from the
ear-splitting cry of the newsboy.
