Midway News: The State, one of
the most influential Alliance papers in
Minnesota, has made careful inves-
tigat on of the state grain inspection
dep rtment, and devotes nearly five
col INNS to the subject, in which it
fiji ds, if not perfection, at least very
e!icent and impartial management
Speaking of the head of the depart
ment the State says: "Mr. Clausen,
barring politics, is a practical, honest
and efficient chief" The Midway
News recently had occasion to COM
ment on some of the ignorant and un-
reasonable thrust made..upon this de-
partment, and we are pleased that the
investigation made by the State in
every way justifies our position.

Prohibition in Iowa

Much has been said to the effect of
prohibition on the commercial inter
ests of Iowa. There is at least one city
which gives emphatic testimony to the
benefit of the law. The following facts
are presented by the Chicago Advance,
and if true-and from the authority
there is no reason to doubt them-the
question of material benefit is solidly
settled: "Des Moines is a city of six
ty thousand people and has not an OPP
en- saloon in it's limits nor within the
county in which it is situated, and yet
it is just now enjoying an era of the
most remarkable prosperity. Such a
thing as house or store to rent can
scarcely be found at any price, while
more than a thousand new residences
and more than a million dollars worth
of new business blocks. some of them
the finest in the west are in process of
erection. Bank clearances run from
twenty-five to fifty per cent higher
than year ago; its manufactured
products for 1890 exceeded these of
1889 by more than 100000. Every
kind of business is extremely prosper
Gus, and the actual statistics of the
transfer companies show that the
population is increasing. by new ar
rivals alone, at tho rate of a thousand
per month. A good many other cities
would like to be killed in the same
way that prohibition has killed Des
Moines." -Aberdeen News.

FRIENDS AND NEIaHBoRs:- Grateful
lcr past patronage, and having new
stock of choice wines, spirits and lager
beer, l continue to make drunkards
and beggars out of sober and indus
trious people. My liquors excite riot,
robbery and bloodshed, diminish COM
forts, increase expenses and shorten
lives, and are sure to multiply fatal
accidents and distressing diseases, and
likely to render these latter incurable.
They will cost some of you life, some
of you reason, many of you character,
and all of you peace. Will make ia
theirs and mothers fends, wives wild
ows, children orphans, and all poor. I
train the young to ignorance, infdeli-
ty, dissipation, lewdness and every
vice; corrupt the ministers of religion
and members of the church, hinder
the gospel and send hundreds to tenn
poral and eternal death. II will &C.
commodate the public" even at the
cost of my soul; for have family to
support-and the trade pays, for the
public encourage it. have a license;
my traffic is therefore lawful, and
Christians even countenance it; and if
I do not sell drink, somebody else will.
I know the Bible says, "'Thou shalt
not KILL" "Woe unto him that giveth
his neighbor drink" and not to put
a stumbling block in a brothers way"
l also read that mo drunkard shall
inherit the kingdom of God" and I
suppose a drunkard-maker will not
share any better fate; but I want a
lazy living,and have made up my mind
that my iniquity pays very good wages.
l shall, therefore, carry. on my trade
and do my best to decrease the wealth,
impair the health and endanger the
safety of the people. AS my traffic
t1ourishes in proportion to your ignor-
ance and indulgence, l must do all I
can to prevent your mental culture,
moral purity, social happiness and
etcrnal welfare. For proof of my abil-
ity, l refer to the pawn-shops, the po-
lice office, the hospital, lunatic asylum,
Jail and the gallows, whittier so many
of my customers have gone. I teach
old and young to drink, and charge
only for the materials. A very few
lessons are enough. Yours till death,
