The New Whiskey Policy.

The leaders of the democratic party
of Iowa, in abandoning the local option
feature of their liquor policy, as indi-
Gated by the newly adopted platform,
recede from principle for which they
have strcnously contended for several
years. 1t is the most surprising phase
OF. the liquor problem disclosed by their
declaration of PRINCIPLES, as it involves
more than appears on the surface.
The columns of state democratic pa
pers have hitherto teemed with articles
urging the fairness of this policy of
focal self government" as they were
pleased to term it; that by it each COM
munity could regulate the drink traffic
as the majority willed, and that it was
fair to all sections of the state. Under
it, they urged, il town or city desired
to regulate by license it could do so,
and if it wished to prohibit the traffic,
the local option feature would permit
this to be done without violence to the
dominant sentiment of any other sec
ton of the commonwealth. On the con-
trary, the republican party has main
tanned that general law prohibiting
the traffic should have uniform opera
ton throughout the state, in accordance
with principle embodied in the state
constitution, 1t has strenuOusly de-
Tended and upheld this principle thus
| far. Now the democratic party, by de-
serting its former local option ground,
has unwittingiy endorsedt the republican
theory by advocating general license
law Of Uniform operation. 1t is an &C.
knowledgement that the republican
policy is the proper one to adopt and
that all their arguments on the other
side of the question have been falla-
cious and insincere. Bat ghy should
the policy of local option be abandoned =
A glance may disclose a plausible rea.
son. The liquor men already have
complete control of those SECTIONS of
the state where democratic policy
thwarts the law. They can gain no
greater ascendency there. They recOg,
nize the fact, too, that local option
would eth leave Iowa under the domi
Mon of prohibition, ami in order "

16. We dcnounce the Ottumwa plat
form of this year as framed with the
deliberate purpose to mislead and de-
ceive, wherein sympathy is expressed
wherein none is felt; wherein hope is
proposed where none will be rendered;
wherein purposes are avowed which are
not entertained. In the support of this
indictment we point to the pretended
friendship for the soldier and arraign-
ment at the same time of the republi-
can party for appropriations for the
payment of pensions; to the free silver
plank intended to deceive the support
ers of free and unlimited coinage of
silver; to the plank assuming to re-
affirm the doctrine of control and regu-
lation of railroads, policy implanted
upon this state under the administra-
ton of the last republican governor
against the opposition, secret and open,
of the democratic party, extending to
an alliance with corporate power in the
first election of railroad commissioner
under the law of 1856.
II. We denounce the democratic
party for Misrepresentation in its plat
form and before of the Mckinley bill,
charging that it seeks to mis.ead the
lhlouSl itibti"tiOi VI vi
truths as to the effect of that bill and
in all ways work upon the predjudices
of the uniformed.
IS. We arraign the democratic party
for opposition to ballot reform in the
south while yet making pretense of
ballot reform in Iowa, where the un-
disputed right to cast a free ballot and
to have it honestly counted goes in
every precinct of the state unchal-
lenged.
10. We arraign the democratic party
as the enemy of the labOrcr, scheming
t. break down the dcfenscs of protect
i've laws to block the wheels of home
industry and to degrade the masses of
the people. AS a party controlled by
the aristrocratic and reactionary tend
ency of the legacy of slavery.
20. The republican party of Iowa
appeals to the intelligence and to the
integrity of the people of this state and
from all good citizens we invite sup
port.

FRED FAULKES, the editor of the
Cedar Rapids Gazette, has created an
other sensation by writing n letter to
the Chicago Inter ocean attacking pro-
hibition. Mr.. Faulkes is a sensation
alist or he is nothing. So long as he
serves humbly in the party LIE is no
greater than many others, but by his
periodical breaks he attracts attention
and secures the notorety he Graves. In
the L. S. senatorial contest of D0'9l he
attacked Senator Allison with column
after column of criticism, but did not
succeed in creating the political stir
that he anticipated. In his last freak
he has created a breeze that is blowing
pretty cold upon Mr.. Faulkes. by
quoting figures furnished by an author
ity which rivals Ananias Sovereign for
Misrepresentation, great showing was
made against prohibition, first as in
operative and second as determent
to the state. 1t is unnecessary to Sug'
geSt that these statements are self
contradictory; that if it is imperative
business interests can not be effected
Since the publication of Mr.. Faulkes
article the Inter ocean has been in re
ceipt of letters from about one half OF
the counties in the state, refuting his
slanderouS statements, and showing
| thaf tho conditions which no olleUp1 6(
not exist in these respective counties
| In certain cases where Mr.. Faulkes
stated that seven or eight saloons were
running in full blast, the correspond
ents declare there are no saloons what
ever, and almost every phase of hi:
Screed is denied in whole or in part
The people of Iowa know that the pro
hibitory law has been imperfectly Ell
forced in some localities, and the,
know further that wherever it has beer
enforced it has accomplished all thu
good its most Jealous advocates haC
hoped for it. Outside of Iowa tn,
Faulkes article may pass for a reyela
ton, but within the state it will be &C
copied as a gigantic fabrication, thu
effect of which, though it may not have
been the intent, is to furnish the demo
cratic party with campaign ammuni
ton from an alleged republican source
and for that purpose it is of equal utili
ty whether true or false.

AS AN indication of how prohibition
in Iowa has diminished crime Chap,
lain Williams gives the following fig
ures: In March, 1856, when the Clark
law was passed, only II counties sent
criminals to Fort Madison and 81 to
Anamosa, and the II counties kept
Fort Madison supplied with criminals
enough to keep the contracts in full
blast. Soon, however, tranfers had to
be made from AnamOsa, and still the
number in Fort Madison kept decreas,
ing until from over 400, it ran down to
81. Then counties were taken from
the territory tributary to AnamOSa un.
til today rs of the 80 counties in the
state send cOnvicts to Fort Madison
and only 23to Anamosa. March 1, 1886
the prison population of the two peni
tentiaries was 1855; September |, 1888
it was only 537. In 1856 the crimina
expenses of the state, not including
prosecuting attorneys fees, were about
S42l,OO0; in 1888, they were only S2SS,

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from prac-

an East India missionary the formula
of a simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure of con-
sumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma
and all throat and lung affections, also
a positive and radical cure for nervous
debility and all nervous complaints, af-
ter having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of cases, has felt
it his duty to make it known to his suf-
fering fellows. Actuated by this mo-

fering, will send free of charge, to all

TIE counties which are violating the
prohibitory law showed the policy of
the liquor dealers in opposing the $500
license plank in the democratic plat
form. They are naturally opposed to
all restraint and to all law of regulation.
They oppose $500 license as they do
prohibition, and would oppose 800 Ii
cense as they do $500, If they violate
the prohibitory law, why not violate a
'well regulated and judicious license
law The only necessity for license
which saloon keeper acknowledges
is for the purpose Of restricting the
number of saloons.
