A CONVENTION of Iowa Republicans
assembled last week to consider the ex-
pediency of repeating the prohibitory
law. The law is practically imperative
in all the large cities, and all efforts to
enforce it are veritable failures. 1t is
proposed to repeal the existing law and
enact local option law for townships,
towns, or counties desiring prohibition
and, in cities or localities where the SEN
timent is adverse to prohibition, to sub
stitute high license law which would
return to the State good round sum for
the privilege of carrying on the business.
The Republicans of Iowa have made a
strong but losing fight on the enforce
ment of the law against the combined
opposition of the political prohibition
lunatics and Democracy, and it is not
amazing that they are becoming dis
eouraged. The people of Iowa voted
favorably to prohibition before they had
sufficient nerve force to aid in making
the enforcement of the law a success.
The law may not be repealed but unless
stronger support is speedily rendered
the law will have to go on record as an
other example of the failure of prohibi-
tiOn to prohibit.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1880.
SPRTNG RH1PNODY.

About this season of the year We
usually look for spring. For several
years back, spring has fallen into the
habit Of putting in an appearance, and
as habits are hard to break there is scarce
ly a possibility that it Will fail us now,
although we ought to be prepared for
any innovation in view of the abnormal
deviation from established customs
which we have already experienced.
Spring is about the best and most en-
joyable season of the year, yet it is out
rageously abused. Many things are done
at this season which are peculiar to no
other period. About the time the vernal
breezes begin to be waited from the
South the love stricken young man, or
young woman, begins to Yrite poetry and
grinds out great quantities of ardent
effuSions, breathing symphonies accord
ant with the voices of the spring. The
thus afflicted youth can see beauty and
sublimity in a brick kiln if spring is one
of the ccncomitant surroundings. At
this season birds return to their wonted
haunts, nature buds after her hibernal
sleep, the husbandman goes to his labor,
women blossom out in new spring
bonnets, and all become abominably
lazy. A man who won't get lazy on the
first warm day of spring is freak of
nature, while the man who is continually
lazy is a calamity. Spring has some draw
backs, but we could not well do without
it. 1t is period of rejuvenation, and
for the love of nature it affords rare and
uneXcelled pleasures.
