utility of the state law was forcibly IL
Illustrated by a member who cited the
case OF Ottumwa, a city where there are
now sixty unlicensed and unlawful tip
ping houses against eleven licens I'd and
regulated saloons prior to the adoption
of the prohibition law. Republican
members in conversation admitted the
force Of these figures, which were re-
inforced by statistics from score
of cities, especially in the river
counties, and owned that individually
they were in favor of local option, but
the caucus was controlled by the
ultra prohibitionists and the party vote
was cast solidly for another two years of
law breaking
The repeal convention that met in
Des MONIES last week took issue with
the declaration in the state platform of
1889, that prohibition is lone of the fixed
principles OF the republican convention"
and from this day forward it will be a
struggle to determine which is right, the
radicals or the repealers. The conflict
is irrepressible. The element that favors
repeal is led by Ex-Governor Kirkwood,
somewhat of back number politician,
personally; but he represents very
substantial element in the party, who
have seen the municipalities robbed of a
large portion Of their revenue by the
prohibition law, which has been success
full only in cutting off the income that
towns and cities derived from the licens-
ing Of saloons, and in closing the brew
cries and distilleries that formerly did
business in the state. This latter does
not mean dimlnution Of consumption,
but merely that manufacturing former
ly carried on in Iowa has been driven
into other states, the product finding it's
way back to Iowa and being sold clan
destinely and in defiance of law, Great
ing horde Of lawbreakers that will in
crease in numbers and extend the range
of their operations as the years 90 by.
The repeal party has strong position,
but can only accomplish it's purpose
after desperate struggle. Had the
effect aimed at-the suppression of the
liquor tratfic-been attained the advo-
Gates of the law would have occupied q
position we'll nigh impregnable; but it
is not so. Local option is the essence of
the principle that government can only
be administered by the consent of the
governed.
The absence Of that public sentiment
which is required to give force to a
statute is lacking in the larger cities
and many Of the towns of Iowa. Until
it shall have been created it is folly to
enforce the law. The fight, however, is
at present within the republican party,
and democrats will watch it's progress
with the interest that would attach to
an encounter between two cats of Kill
kenny.

An Anti-Carlist Demonstration Assumes
Serious Proportions.
MADRID, April 10-The arrival of the
Carlist leader, the Marquis Senalbo, at Va
lencia to-day, was made the occasion of an
anti-Carlist demonstration. Thousands of
anti-Carlists met at the station and followed
the marquis to his hotel. They smashed
windows and tried to set fire to the hotel,
when a detachment of troops charged and
dispersed the mob. Many persons were
wounded. mob of 1900 persons invaded
the Carlist club and set fire to the furni-
ture. When the fremen came the mob
tried to obstruct them. Another mob tried
to burn church, but was prevented by a
detachment of troops. The troops have
failed, however, to disperse the constantly
gathering crowds, who have built two barri-
cades in the streets. Military authorities
have taken possession of the city, and the
whole garrison is under arms.

Separate School for Catholics.

KENs1NGroN, Ont, April 10.-Archbishop
Cleary has issued circular letter to the
clergy of his diocese respecting the relation
of Roman Catholics to separate schools,
which created sensation. The archbishop
charges each priest to call upon every rate
payer who sides with the enemy and an
nounce to him in the name of the bishop
that his action is rebellion against the
church, and that the archbishop reserves
to himself alone all power of absolving
such rebellious Catholics from their sins,

alton that he heartily repents of having in
jured the church and scandalized his neigh

Catholic education, and shall have prom

ON THE SIDE.

1t there is better student of human ma
ture in the country than the American
drummer he has not yet been discovered.
not only knows his business, but he is
quick to catch the characteristic traits Of
fellow travellers from other towns. For in
stance, the other evening four drummers,
beg pardon, commercial travellers, arrived
at the Hotel Helena. Among them was
man from New York. He called Manager
Wiley one side and said: ''There are my
three companions. One is from Chicago,
another from st. Paul and the third from
Minneapolis. In minute they viii! go in
the wash room. The Chicago man will re-
move his coat, cuffs and collar and take a
coed wash. The ST. Paul traveller will
hurriedly dip his hands in the water, grab
the towel, fire it in the basket and go out.
and the Minneapolis man will wash in the
st. Paul mans water" And sure enough
the procedure was exactly as the New York
man prophesied.
Not one man in thousand knows of the
extent and importance of the tea business
IN this country. Something might be
learned from chat with Mr.. G. 1oohey
who is on his annual commercial visit to
this city. He carries 400 samples of tea to
show to the one grocery firm in this city
that purchases his goods. As might be i'm
agined, it is an extremely difficult matter to
detect the different varieties and grades, to
say nothing about the three different pick
ings of a seasons crops. Mr.. Toohey's
thirty years. experience in the business en-
ables him to pick out a variety of tea at a
glance, but the detection of grades is a
more difficult matter. He places a dozen
or more different grades together in cups
filled with boiling water. Then he care
fully inhales the odorous vapor. The ex-
animation is thereby narrowed down to
three or four cups. The final choice is
made by tasting the liquor. So closely
do the different grades resemble each
other that tyro could detect no difference
between the cheaper and more expensive.
Mr.. Toohey carries samples of teas that
retail for two dollars pound. They come
from the slopes of Ceylon and are largely
the result of the peculiar climate of that
island. He says that the various attempts
to cultivate tea in this country, though
there is colony of Chinese in Lover Cali
fornia attempting to make the tea plant q
success.
Manager Fred Berger. who was recently
in town with the Sol Smith Russell COM
pany, tells good story. He says: In very
many towns that we visit there are numer-
GUS applicants for places with the company.
There is always an amateur player whose
head has become swelled by local applause.
He would like to be supported by Mr.. Rus
sell; can guarantee him salary of 500 to
start. Well, one of these fellows came in a
Kentucky town last winter and asked for
an engagement. "What can you do?" I
asked. II can sing" he rep...ed. "Well,"
what are you, singer, a basso or bara-
toner" Neither" he answered, II am a
Kentuckian.''

Talk With Stanley.

BuNprz1, April 1o.-Speaking of Emin
Pasha, while here Stanley said he did not
believe he wanted to attempt to reconquer
the equatorial province. An immense effort,
he declared, would be necessary to eject
the Madhists, who have overrun the pro-
vince. With reference to the claim mSde
by the Germans to territory in Africa, Stan
ley said he was astonished at their pre-
tensions. They apparently claimed the
whole of the country. Stanley also stated
that the Aruwhimi forest, which belongs tc
the Gorge free state, was enormously rich
especially with rubber trees, richer than the
Amazon fyzest. This section of Africa. he
declared. Sould be the rubber reservoir OF
the universe.

REPUBLICAN DlsCORD IN IOWA.

IT'S difficult to imagine how serious
division Of the republican party in Iowa
is to be avoided on the question Of pro-
hibition. In the face of resolutions
adopted by convention of delegates
claiming to represent the actual se3ti-
ment of the party and which declared
that the prohibition law of 1884 had
proved failure in 60 far as 4 was de-
signed to suppress the liquor traffic in
the larger towns and cities, the house of
representatives in Iowa on Saturday
voted to table the repeating act by a vote
of 81 to 40. the affirmative vote repre-
senting the democratic membership.
The repeating sct which was thus killed
provided for the substitution Of local
option for state prohibition. The in
