DURING the past year the ideas of
the people of Iowa, on the prohibition
question, have been somewhat mud
died. Good men have been borne
down by appearances and have re-
luctantly weakened on the question.
No man who ever believed that pro-
hibition is right has lost the conviction.
They have simply come to think for
the time that other means of control
are more potent. But when the ques-
ton is again agitated and mems minds
are aroused to the enormity of the
enemy they are fighting the movement
in favor of prohibition will receive a
new impetus, and in case of an election
there could be but repetition of the
result attained in 1882. The law has
been violated all must admit, but the
conditions are much more favorable
than before the law was passed. The
saloon power is now groveling in its
proper groove, and it would be a back
ward step, indeed, should Iowa ever
again recognize ii as legal institution
An awakening from the lethargy which
has characterized the friends of tenn
perance this year will bring about a
reaction in public sentiment.

The alliance Of farmers may be made
of much more benefit to those interest
ed than is generally realized. Dealers
in the product Of the farm, and by that
we mean the middle men, have means
of knowing the acreage of each crop,
and with weekly reports of crop pros
poets are able to know the proportion
of the supply to the demand, so that
they can establish prices in accordance
Herewith. The farmer with the same
trouble, and with an expense that
would be minimum when shared equal
ly, might be in possession of these facts,
and fix the prices himself, instead OF
selling at price fixed by others. Such
an arrangement would amount to a
trust, but its object wouln be worthy
namely to permit the farmer to realize
the actual value of his produce. lie
would then enjoy the full benefits OF
what he is by nature, the most indie
pendent citizen on earth. Every farm
er should know the acreage and prob
able yield of the country before ht
harvests his crop.

The democrats in the legislature
were not so rampant for the Australian
ballot when it came to final action as
when they were making campaign
speeches. When it really looked as f
it might become law the leading dem
ocratic papers sounded the alarm, and
its miniOnS defeated the measure.
We knew they were opposed to its
adoption in the south, where its big
schemes for diSfranchiSementa are work,
ed, but it is really surprise to learn
that they are afraid of it in Iowa
They are evidently with Hill on this is,

The Handshaker,


The Capital takes as much stock in
the genial, pleasant man, who asks for
an office when he wants il, as in the
austere man who is dragged from the
seclusion OF private life and is appar-
emily coerced into being q statesman.
The handshaker generally stands by
his friends; the other man generally
does the other thing. The hand. shaker
will nearly always state publicly what
he will do if elected, and he keeps his
word otteuef than the other man.
Take the history of Iowa politics, and
you will find that the so-called smiling
politician, who has good word for
everybody, has been as true and honor
able as the man whose nomination was
sprung upon himself and the commH,
nifty as surprise. The fact is that the
man who is ambitious to hold Office is
more likely to serve the public than is
the man who boasts that he never was
an oflice-seeker, because the ambition
to succeed viii hold the politician to
the peoples will. lie will do their bid,
ding to gain their favor, and in that
respect be is very worthy hired man

THE congressional timber developed
in this district since Judge Reed an
nounced his purpose not to appear be
fore the convention has not shown
that strength which might recommend
it to republicans. The district is divid,
ed as to choice Of other candidates,
each claiming the right to name the
man. The district could unite on Judge
Deemer, but he is determined in his
purpose to not permit the use of his
name in this connection, Altogether
the situation is very favorable to the
denomination of Judge Reed despite
his own inclination. The Judge made
very strong run before, and has done
nothing to prejudice him before the
people.

IT isn't just the proper thing to
charge the printer with the tout" in
the joint rate bill, when it was read by
a hundred and fifty eagle-eyed legisla
tors. The printer made the mistake, to
be sure, but when he was superintendent
by hundred and fifty proof readers at
$500 each the responsibility should be
divided. The printers shoulders are
broad but considerable public and kind
providence will not visit upon him the
sins of the whole legislature.

TIE editor of the Muscatine JettrnGl
who is visiting in Nebraska, writes to
his paper from Lincoln as follows:
The failure of the famous Slocumb
high license law as temperance meas
ure has been thoroughly demonstrated
in Nebraska and the people are not
likely to be bambOozled as they were
in Pennsylvania as to the alleged fail
ure of prohibition in Kansas and Iowa.
Every enlightened, honest temperance
man in Nebraska sees the need of try,
ing something else besides high license
and local option.

THE reduced tariff on sugar will
amount to dollar saved to every man,
woman and child in the republic, while
those who are experimenting in sugar
raising will receive a bounty of two
cents per pound. If it were not for the
trusts to distort money from the con-
sumner there might be a chance for an
actual reduction in the price of sugar.

scientific Study Of Drugs.

But little is known of the action OF
drugs on the human body in health.
For a number of years an English bi.
ologist, Mr.. W. Sharp, has been expert.
menting to determine this action, using
different quantities of the same drug,
and he has reached some interesting
conclusions, including the following:
The smallest doses used in these exper-
iments have power to act upon the liv-
ing human body; the commonly re.
ceived opinion that the actions of drugs
are simply increased in degree and not
altered in character by increasing the
dose is an error; the actions Of drugs
are sufficiently distinct to admit Of
classification. -Arkansaw Traveller.
