DIES MOINEs, Ia, May 6.-The State
Temperance Alliance, the chief temper
ance organization of Iowa, sees in the
action of the Republican state central COM
mittee in sending the next convention to
Sioux City, and fixing the date at June 25
danger TO the cause of Prohibition. Yes
terday its executive committee issued an
address urging Prohibitionists TO use every
endeavor to control the convention. They
say that the farmers will be blowing corn
when the county conventions are held, and
will permit them 70 be controlled by men
from the cities and towns.
Afraid of the City Delegates.
Holding the state convention so far from
the center of population will entail upon
most of the delegates such expenditure of
time and money as TO restrict attendance
to gentlemen OF means and a class of poll
ticians whose consciences revolt at the
idea of "subiecting moral principle to
the coutmninating influence of politics. "
The Alliance says: "In this state a large
majority of the Republicans are upon prin-
ciple in favor Prohibition. Nevertheless
there has been all these years, and still is,
a minority of the party vigorously pro-
testing and seeking the overthrow of Pro
hibition,' and they warn the advocates OF
Prohibition to be on hand.

Remember that these are the days
when the early hot iron, the insect pow
der and the napthaline cube and other
d~iscouragers catch the early grub or
moth fly. Napthaline is a pretty white
substance, one of the latter day rivals to
camphor for making woolens and furs
secure. An ounce of prevention for the
next week, by securing out all closets
and thoroughly beating the wooden
clothes that must still hang there, until
May is established in warmth, will be
worth pounds of camphor and fretting
by and by. Use a stiff wing instead Of
n stick for scraping in any cracks there
may be. Some of the chicken or pigeon
wings that, dyed in masquerade colors,
have lone duty in hats, could be put to
no better use than in these researches
into insect life.
