This years political campaign in
Iowa brought to the surface some in
teresting facts about the influence of
prohibition as measured in dollars and
cents. Prohibition in that state start
ed. in an experimental way, in 1882.
The mayor of Davenport says that the
system has cost the state thirty-three
millions, and that the operation of the
law has not tended in any degree to
promote temperance or good morals.
To begin with, the law drove out of
business III breweries and distllleries,
the owners of which went into bank
ruptcy, no compensation having been
provided for them at the time when
Iowa declared for prohibition. Figures
are quoted to show that the increase
of wealth in Iowa has been only two
per cent. in ten years. while in nearly
all other western states II has been
four or five times that percentage.
Good authority in Iowa lays the blame
for this on the prohibition system.

Lawyers and the people who run
police courts in this state will be inter-
ested in a decision just rendered by
Judge Milburn of the Seventh judicial
district. Passing upon the jurisdiction
of police magistrates, Judge Milburn
holds that, under the new code, they
have no power whatever to try any
civil cause not arising under the ordin-
ances of the city in which they are the
magistrates. In part, this decision is the
result of the conclusions lately reached
by the supreme court in the gambling
test case. AS we understand it, the
ruling of Judge Milburn is at variance
with the practice of police magistrates
in several cities of the state; 1t places
their jurisdiction under limitations that
have not hitherto been observed.
Judge Milburn's decision is printed on
this mornings twelfth page.

Local Notes.

III was rumored in railroad circles
recently that the Cotton Belt railroad
people Intended to pull OF from the
Union depot and henceforth would run
their train from their own depot north
OF the city. This was found to be a
mistake however. the Cotton Belt
passenger trains hereafter Will
be run from their own yards in
stead Of from the Fort Worth and Den
yer yards as heretofore. This will
heoessitate the use of another switch
engine on the Cotton Belt passenger
trains of which there are four a day.
This arrangement Will hardly be as
convenient TO the Cotton Belt people
Us the present way of handling their
passenger trains, but has the advan-
tage Of being more economical. The
new arrangement will be put into
operation on the first of next month
Inc passenger trains will continue to
run into the Union depot.

The Texas rule allowing senders Of
telegraph messages to recover for
damages to their feelings from delay
In transmitting the dispatches leads to
an enormous amount OF litigation
against the telegraph companies. In
some of the dlgests almost the whole
section referring to actions against
Telegraph companies consists of refer
ences to the decisions OF the Texas
courts. Many Of the messages relate
to the sickness or death of relatives.
In one of the latest cases It was shown
mat the message could not have been
delivered In time to enable the woman
10 whom 1t was addressed to be present
at the funeral of her father, whose slick
ness was reported In the telegram.
She endcavored, nevertheless, to OBJ
tain damages, on the ground that II
she mad received the message promptly,
she might have telegraphed asking
that the funeral be postponed, and so
might have been present at the servi-
ces. The supreme court reversed the
Judgment for $500, obtained against the
company. A verdict of $1,000. obtained
by a father who had not received
promptly message concerning his
Slick son, one OF $500 for delay In de-
llverlng a telegram announcing the
funeral OF a brother and one OF $1,000
Tor failure to deliver promptly a mes
sage telling Of the sickness of u half
sister We're not set aside as excessive
In one case it was shown that there
was no great affection between the per
eon to whom the telegram was address
ed and the sick relative, but the verdict
was allowed to stand. In some cases
the amount OF mental anguish could
not have been great, but the Texas
Jurles, with great regularity and
promptness, find verdicts against the
telegraph companies, as well as rail-
roads, when cases are brought before
them.-The Railway Review.
