an extent equal or greater than before the
passage of the present law. These reports
were received from little more than half
the counties in the state.
The governor said the penalties which
the law infiicts are in many instances
hideously cruel, and their consequences to
those entirely innocent are so serious that
no man possessed of human heart can
turn deaf ear. Applications are con-
stantly being made to the governor for re-
lief. He continued:
do not underestimate the evils Of interper-
anee, and yet, with q full knowledge OF these
evils, do not hesitate 10 declare that the en-
forcement OF this law. SO far as il has been en-
forced IN this state since its passage, has pau
perized more families and inflicted greater suf-
ieTing on wholly innocent parties than all the

state. II the sale of alcoholic liquors had been
absolutely restricted daring that time
II we turn 70 the effects OF the law upon the
mSterial interests of Iowa the situation is no
more satisfactory. II is as apparent Is any fact
can be made by statistics that the increase of
population OF oGr state has been greatly retarded
by the law. There is nothing ambiguous in the
position OF the Democratic party on this ques-
tlon. 1t is not proposed to bring legalized
saloons back to a single locality in the state
where public sentiment is opposed 10 it. The
broad proposition is TO let each city, town and
township determine by vote whether il does or
does not want a licensed saloon. The Demo
cratic party is pledged as strongly as any party
can be to leave undisturbed the right OF every
municipality to maintain the prohibito law.
The governor dwelt at some length on
the tariff question, denouncing protective

An American who Wants a Medal.

BERLIN. Aug. 22-President Gates, Of
Iowa college, is conferring with Hon.
William Walter Phelps, United States
minister, in an effort to obtain the medal
given by the German government to all
persons who save the life of a human be-
ing. When Professor Gates was student
at Bonn, thirty years ago, he saw man
fall into the river. He immedi-
ately plunged into the water and
just managed to save the drowning
man. Professor Gates recently read
that Prince Bismarck had remarked that
he possessed one of these medals, adding:
'.It is the only one | prize" Professor
Gates Immediately came to Germany and
applied to Mr.. Phelps to use his influence
TO secure for him the medal to which
Prince Bismarck attached so much honor.
Mr.. Phelps is confident he can establish
Professor Gates claim, and that the gov
eminent will shortly confer the honor of
wearing it upon Professor Gates.

THE HOLY COAT AUTHENTIC.
1t Is Gummed to Costly Silk OF the First
Century.


BERLIN. Aug. 22.-The holy coat now on
exhibition in the cathedral at Treves, has
been examined by textile manufacturers,
who say that when the wrappers were re-
moved the garment was found so tattered
1t could not be displayed. An aged and
experienced nun managed to gum the frag-
ments together, the material being too
much worn to permit of the use of needle
and thread. The coat is now partly over
lad with the materials in which it has
formerly been wrapped, and which, hav-
ing become decayed, cannot be separated
from it.
The reverse side of the coat has also
been examined by DR.. Rock. of AK la
Chapelle, who says it is mounted on bussus
silk, which was a material in use during
the first century, and never later than the
sixth, and which was very costly in Cath
olic circles. These facts are regarded as
proving the authenticity of the relic.
ian interesting article on the holy coat of
Treves will be found on page 10 OF this psper.l
