TRAPPED.


The district judges of Iowa are in trap
which has been neatly constructed for them.
Some time ago they were asked by the gov
ernor concerning the effect of the prohibitory
law upon crime and upon court expenses.
Many of them testified that the law had
greatly diminished crime and reduced court
expenses. They now wish they hadn't been
quite so enthusiastic, for member of the
senate introduced q resolution reciting the
fact, on the authority of the judges them
selves, that prohibition had greatly dimin-
ished the business of the courts, and asking
for rsarrangsment of the judicial districts
so as to cut down the number OF judges, in
view of the fact that there was not near
ly 10 much work for them to do
now as when the districts were laid
out. The senator was soon made aware
of his blunder by letters from the judges
protesting against any such change, declar-
ing that their courts are full of business all
the while, and that they are being worked to
death, and insisting that it would never do to
reduce tho number of judges. The Iowa
State Register feels moved to remark: Now
that is rather queer after the letters which
these same judges wrote to the governor
telling him that the business of tie courts
had diminished 80 greatly that they hadn't
very much to do. The public would like to
know, honor bright, whether they were tell
ing the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth when they wrote to the gov
ernor, or are they telling the whole truth
when they protest that they have so much
work to do that the judicial system of lows
can't spare single judge.

erected. There were guillotines, however,
in several other parts of the city, and it was
no uncommon matter for person going out
shopping in the morning to meet with three
or four professions of unhappy beings pro-
ceeding to execution. A we'll organized
band of furies usually accompanied them,
shouting and bowling insults and cries of
''Death." Early in 1894 protests were
made by residents along the lines of route
to the guillotines that sensitive persons were
beginning to avoid those streets, and that
this did great harm to their commerce.
They therefore petitioned that the routes
should be at least occasionally changed. La

The Abuse Of Coffee.


Dr. F. Mendel has recently enjoyed oppor-
tunities of studying the results of an unbri.
died abuse of coffee, and bis results are now
published. The great industrial center
round Essen includes very large female
population. While the women of the work.
ing classes In this country are often addicted
to dosing themselves with tea that had stood
too long, it appears that the workmsns
wives at Essen drink coffee from morning
till night. Some consume over pound OF
Ceylon coffee weekly, and one pound con-
tsins over sixty-four grains of caffeine. In
consequence nervous, muscular and circula-
torv disturbances are frequent. The nerve
symptoms are characterized by feeling OF
General weakness, depression of spirits and
aversion for labor even in industrious sub

rary disappearance of all these symptoms.
The muscular symptoms consist of distinct
muscular weakness and trembling of the
hands even during rest The circuistory
symptoms are marked by small, rapid, r
regular pulse and feeble impulse of the apex
of the heart. Palpitations and heaviness in
the precordial region are frequent. The
hands and feet feel very cold, and the com-
plexion becomes sallow. Dyspeptic symp-
toms, chiefly of the nervous type, are very
common. These coffee drinkers cannot be
cured by simple abstention from their favor

beverage. They require rest from work

It is interesting to know how the Queen
Regent of Spain worries through day. She
rises early, takes cold bath every morning
even in winter, and performs her toilet with
the help of one Of her waiting-maids. She
usually dresses very plainly, and never wears
iewelry except on ceremonial occasions.
After performing her devotiens she goes to
the apartment of the little King, and break.
fasts with her three children. In the fore.
noon she receives the Ministers, and attends
to her private correspondence, always giving
the precedence to the daily exchange oi
letters with her mother, the Archduchest
Elizabeth. After luncheon, which is taker
at noon, she goes out for a short drive. Ir
tho afternoon she gives audience, and spendl

ONE RIDICULOUS BILL.


There are perhaps more ridiculous bills,
or bills which are more ridiculous, before
congress than usual. One of them is the
Butterworth bill, which aims to abolish
dealings in options and futures. It is be-
lieved, or said by some that such abolition
would be great thing for the whole coun-
try, and especially for the farmers. OF course
dealing in futures has its abuses az we'll as
its uses, but its abuses are comparatively un-
important when considered with its uses.
It furnishes the producer an opportunity for
immediate sale. It is especially serviceable
o. means of insurance against loss. 1t
gives means of carrying commodities long
distances at Q minimum of loss through
fuotuation. It allows the carrying of sup
plies without loss from years of plenty to
years of scarcity. 1t steadies prices the
world over and minimizes fluctuations, pro-
tecting both producer and consumer from
sudden changes which they otherwise would
and in the old days did, suffer from.
Any interference with the system OF deal
ing in options and futures would be disas
trous. The Providence Journal we'll says:
Farmers sell their crops before they are
grown; the miller sells his -four before it il
ground, perhaps before the wheat is bought
the lumberman contracts for his lumber be-
fore 1t is felled; the merchant sends his ships
with cargoes that were long before sold tc
return with others that were long before
bought. In fact there is scarcely line oi
contracts for the delivery of something al
some future time. This great law of bust
ness, firmly based as it is in the principles ol
economy, cannot be successfully set at naugh'
by any human legislation.

AS we will he called upon next
Tuesday to say by our ballot whether
we will have saloons in our county
again. it il important that we i'm
partially consider this matter in its
deepest and hroadest sense.
After giving the local option law a
fair trial in our county no one can
truthfully say that we are not better
off now than when we adopted this
law. Even the saloon keepers have
taken up honest toll and are looking
so much more healthy in person and
haye more for their families. True
they have lost their bloated and I'M
natural appearance, but how much
more handsome they look now.
Every voter should carefully read
the law as now published In our
county, papers before he pretends to
cast his ballot and carefully consider
these points: Do [ want saloon at
my door, if not should | help to put
one at another's door where it is not
wanted? Do l wish my boy or my
neighbours boy to become drunkards:
Will / deal out this poison to my fell
low men or license another to d. it
for me? Will take my hard-earned
money and run 1t through the "a.
loon to make the and thy family
comfortable aud happy and to edu-
cate my children from this blood
money? Then who wants the 50
