PROHIBITION AND .. s LICENSES
o the Liquor Traffic Goes On In
the Professedly ssDryss States.

ROW tne Liquor frame Goes On IA
h Professediy "Dry's States.
The Legislature of Iowa is engaged in a
new struggle over the question of repeating
the Prohibitory Liquor law of that State.
While the Democrats are hoping that a high
license law will be substituted for Drohibi-
ton, there seems to be small prospect of such
a change. The reason why prohibition Is
not abandoned is that The liquor interests IN
Iowa and other States under a like system
have become almost as friendly to 1t as are
the aquarians themselves. The Prohibition
lists rejoice in their law and the other people
enjoy their liquor.
Why, indeed, should the liquor interests
have a serious quarrel with prohibition, In
view of the fact that not less than 14,320
retail liquor licenses were issued by the
Federal Government last year in the prohi-
bltory States of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Iowa, Kansas and North and
South Dakota? The official report of the
Internal Revenue Bureau further shows that
in those States 1854 retail beer licenses, l23
wholesale liquor licenses, 463 wholesale beer
licenses and IA brewers licenses were also
issued during the same period of time.
There is no doubt that the Internal Rev
enue officials of tine United States are very
vigilant in enforcing the laws for collecting
license fees for the sale of liquors. Yet,
with all their watchfullness and zeal, it is
quite probable that many retail dealers IN
liquor escape the payment of license fees in
the prohibitory States. But what can be said
in favor of a drastic penal system which its
own authors and advocates make no effort
to enforce or obey, and which is
openly set at defiance? If prohibition had
not peen a failure in Iowa the records
would not have shown that nearly 5000
liquor licenses were issued by the United
States Government in that State last year.
In these records is found one of the main
reasons why prohibition is so popular in
Iowa, Maine and Kansas. The United
States liquor licenses are exceedingly low
n comparison with the rates of licenses
established by State laws. 1t is not strange
that SO many people in Iowa prefer prohibi-
ton to a high license Observation-Disclosures

CELLARS DBLUGEDo ON THE HEIGHTS
Citizens Indignant Over Old Board
of Works Delay.

Citizens Indignant Over Old Board
of Works Delay.
The citizens in the vicinity Of the New
York avenue sewer, on the Heights, were all
complaining this morning of the condition in
which yesterdays deluge left their cellars,
many of which contained two and even
three feet of water. A short time ago a Com
mittee was appointed to request the Street
and Water Board to clean the sewer out, as
it is estimated that there is at least a foot
and a half of mud in it. AS yet the board
has done nothing in the matter and if they
do not do SO, ex-Commissioner Helm says
that the residents along New York, Palisade
and Sherman avenues and the cross streets
will be flooded at every heavy storm.
He further said that the sewer had not
been cleaned in the past fifteen years. This
is the sewer that the old board granted the
West Hoboken authorities permission to
connect their main sewer with at New
York avenue and the Paterson Plank Road.
The citizens of the Heights, however, rose up
in arms against the action of the board, and
sent a petition both to the Mayor and the
new board, requesting them to rescind the
old boards action. This was fully explained
in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS at the time.

HINTS FOR THE SUMMER.
Try and keep cool.
Do not get excited.

Exertion is good-over exertion, injurious.
Keep the blood cool, well circulated and
healthy.
Do not eat fat or heavy foods, but those
that will nouish and not over heat.
Don't cat unripe fruits or other unwhole-
some food.
Keep yourself clean, keep your home
clean, and live in a clean neighborhood.
If you feel heated, do not resort to icy
drinks but take a little pure medicinal whis-
key in iced water.
Remember that there is but one pure
medicinal whiskey in the market and that is
Duffy,s Pure Malt, and that is the only kind
that can safely be depended upon during hot
weather.
1t may be that some people, possibly your
druggist or grocer, will tell you that there
are other whiskeys "just as good" If you
are wise you will not be deceived but insist
upon having that which is purest, best, and
certain to do you good.
If you follow these common sense sugges-
lions there is no reason why you are not,
through the summer, free from colds, sum-
mer complaints and all the changes which
surround us during this trying time OF the
year.

CALLIOFB BEAT HIM
Prosecutor Winfield Encounters
a New Ally of the Rum
Power.

ssThe idea of a man selling liquor on Sun
day in Hoboken is preposterous," remarked
Prosecutor Winfield in the Court of Sessions
this morning, ''and how this man came to be
indicted is astonishing"
The above remarks were occasioned by the
trial of John Costello, a saloon keeper at
Clinton and Third streets, Hoboken, who
was charged with selling liquor at half past
one o'clock on Sunday morning, January IA.
As usual in Hoboken cases, a number OF
witnesses were s~ubpenaed that knew abso-
solutely nothing about the case, which caused
Judge Hudspeth to remark:-"For some
time past witnesses have been s~ubp9naed,
putting the county to considerable expense
for nothing, and it has got to be stopped"
SARCASTIC MP. WINFIELD.
The officers could not swear that any
liquors were sold, although they saw glasses
on the bar and the proprietor drawing some
thing out of a keg. The ire of Prosecutor
Winfield was aroused, and IN summing up
he said:-''As l said before, gentlemen OF
the jury, this indictment is a marvel. Moral
reforlners spring up every once IN a while
and do wonderful things for the good
of the community, but they never bother the
saloon keepers. The last Grand Jury that
adjourned with a halo of sanctity over its
head for the many Investigations that 1t
made, could throw out sixty charges that
were laid before it for selling liquor on Sun
dav Ministers can rail in the pulpit about
poker joints, but did you ever hear them say
anything about selling of liquor on Sunday?
If they do, their anathemas die out quickly.
and nothing is done. Nothing produces more
misery, more pauperism, more crime, than
the selling of liquor. If there ever vas a
curse to mankind that escaped from the
bottonless pit, it is rum Do not think am
preaching a temperance sermon. | take a
drink when I want it, and if l don't want it,
l let it alone
BY ALL.
Every one seems to protect liquor deal
ers. Where can you find policemen that can
find evidence against saloon keepers! Here
we nave the whole police force of Hoboken
today and not one of them will say he saw
liquor being sold. If less rum were sold you
would have less taxes to pay. They talk
about high license. 1 tell you, gentlemen, if
they put the license twice as high it would
not half pay the expense of the courts,

The. Prosecutor was beginning to wax
eloquent and began quoting Shakespeare
when the circus parade passed by the Court
House. The steam calliope set up an I'm
earthly howl and the Prosecutors e~loquence
was lost on the jury. His thunderous tones
were not in it with the calliope, and bowling
gracefully in the direction of the street, he
remarked, 81 suocumb," and took his seat.
The jury, after a short deliberatlon. re-
turned 6 verdict of not guilty.

and less of the disposition on the part
of corporations to reduce their
employees to serfGom. There is
need of more wholesome laws designed
to prevent the offscourings OF earth
with honest labor. This country Is still
big enough for the better class of work
ing foreigners, but there is already too
large a number of a certain class that
cannot be asSimilated, at least during
present conditions. There is need for
a revision of laws to give working peo-
pie their dues, and for additional laws
to protect them from the invasion by
the foes of honest toilers. 1t Is we'll
that laboring people are studying the
conditions of the country. and are edu-
eating themselves against the day of a
wise and peaceable solution of questions
that will make an improvement III their
condition and retard further encroach-
ments. 1t is also we'll that organized
