Iowa saIoon-Drug Stores.

Sitting in the senate chamber yes
terday while the municipal charter
bill was under discussion was gentle
man who has recently spent consider
able time in some Iowa cities. The
fact that the senators were dis
cussing that section of the char
ter bill relating to licenses led
the gentleman to talk with
GLOBE reporter about the Iowa
system. "Some of the most reliable
men L met in Iowa. said he. assured
me that the worst thing they could con-
ceive of in the way of saloon is what
they call the drug store groggery.
They explain this by the fact that the
outward and visible signs of respecta-
bility serve as a cloak, under which a
most insidious and baneful traffic is
carried on with both men and boys.
Personally, I saw many well-dressed,
good-looking young men lounging in
places that were pointed out to me as
drinking booths and drug stores COM
bined. L was told, too, that these
young fellows were of that class who
would not be seen in regular saloon.
For fun and sociability-perhaps be-
cause it's forbidden fruit-they pur-
chase and drink liquor in these drug
stores. In many instances they be-
come dissipated, and frequently have
seen the drug store saloons denounced
In the papers as the worst curses Iowa
has to contend with. The law at pres
ent in force in that state has worked
good deal of Improvement, by allowing
license and regulations; but the bad
fruits of the prohibitory spasm are
still being reaped. L was told, too,
that there were regular club drug
stores, where any one with the coun-
tersign Or password could take a
drink from a handily placed bottle and
leave the price. The sneaking way is
a poor way, judging from what 1 saw
and heard in Iowa."

concerning my appearance in the pull
pit tonight in evening dress, let me say
that 1 believe God is no respecter of
garb, and that an evening dress would
not preclude a preachers entrance in
to the kingdom of heaven. But mas
much as it was announced that would
appear in evening dress, it is my opin-
ion that such apparel Is more proper
in the pulpit when discussing popular
themes than the conventional Prince
Albert. But the question of broad
cloth, or rags, or tights is so trivial
that I hardly see the sense of such
things being mentioned"
1t is the ambition of the young
preacher to be able to thrill great aud
fences by his oratory. Laying aside
any discussion of his methods, it must
be admitted that he has succeeded in
getting public attention focused upon
him, and draws out large audiences.

COMPETITION IN WHEAT.

Something much more potent than
the decentralization of silver twenty
two years ago has sent wheat down
to it's present value, and it's force
will remain to continue the de-
preston after silver shall be restored
to its historic place in the cur
rency of the world The New York
Times has been gathering some facts
that will interest our wheat growers
of the Northwest, and which tell
the story of price depression far bet
ter and more truly than the silverites
do.
The Argentine wheat crop gave
last year surplus for export of
$4,000 900 bushels, produced and de-
livered at ocean ports at cost of
81 cents a bushel. The Times gives
the statements of several growers,
detailing the cost of production.
These range from 35 to 40 cents on
a crop average of Is bushels to the
acre. Albert Bruning, a prominent
farmer of the province Of Santa Fe,
gives the cost, at IL bushels per
dCiS, VI Ills WHEAT UGllN SIGu DIT Tie
port of Rosario at 35 cents bushel,
including all labor, bagging, seed,
local tax, rent and transportation
from farm to port, leaving for his
profit the price above 80 cents. This
estimate is made on the gold basis
and on S. an acre for land. Another
farmer in the same province esti-
mates the cost Of his crop delivered
at the same port at 81 cents. An
other, on a yield Of 1917 bushels,
estimates the cost at 4O1s cents.
The low price received will have
the effect to diminish the acreage to
an estimated extent of 20 per cent,
but even with this decrease the sur
plus for export this year is expected
to reach 40,000,000 bushels. Here is
one of the factors that have brought
wheat on Minnesota and Dakota
farms to 40 cents, and bids sure to be
continuing factor from which there
can be no relief through financial or
other legislation. The only remedy
is that suggested by Mr.. Dalrymple
in his recent communication to the
GLOBE-send the wheat to market
on foot.

REINA REGENTE SANK.
WRECK OF THE MISSING WAR
SHIP FOUND.
CREW GIVEN UP FOR LOST.
WreclkinG Steamer Sent to the
Scene of Disaster to Recover
the Bodies.

CADIZ, March 19.-The Spanish
cruiser Alfonso XII. has returned
here after a search for the missing
cruiser Reina Regente, and reports
having found the latter vessel sunk
near Bajo Acientaos, not far from
the straits of Gibraltar. The AL
fonSo XII. has returned to the scene
of the wreck with a number of div
ers and diving appliances in order
to recover the bodies of the crew
of the sunken war ship. The Reina
Regente was reported missing on
March 13. She had just conveyed
from Cadiz to Tangier the return
ing Moorish mission to Spain. The
cruiser left Tangier on March 10
for Cadiz, and her whereabouts have
not been definitely ascertained until
today. Pieces of one of her boats
and semaphore flags were reported
TO have been picked up along the
shore near Ceuta and Tarifa. She
| carried crew of 42O officers and
men, and all hands are believed to
have persisted.
The uncertainty as the fate of the
Relna Regente caused great public
excitement in Madrid, and the gov
eminent was accused of keeping
back news of the ship, and of having
ordered the detention by the censOrs

QUEER ASSESSING.
One Part of Town Paying the
Taxes of Another.

To the Editor of the Globe
The problem of successful munich
pal government is a long way yet
from being solved. The taxpayers
are now suffering from unwise and
reckless expenditure by being
crushed with a heavy bonded debt.
The payment of the interest on this
debt is made pretext to justify the
infection of crushing taxation. The
recent revaluation of real estate for
the year 1894 has caused justifiable
discomfort, inaSmuch as the assessor,
without justification of law, made a
sweeping reduction of from 25 to 80
per- cent on lower town property and
placed it upon the realty located
in the upper part of the city, thus
in proportion increasing upper town
property from so to go per cent. This
mode of assessment is so unconsti-
tutional and unjust that, if taken to
the courts, it is believed it would
result in setting aside the whole of
the levy for 1894. The law requires
that all property shall be assessed
as near equally as possible, and &C
time OF the assessment Now the
property in lower town is just az
valuable intrinsically now as it was
in booming times, and the property
IN upper town is of no greater value
now than it was five years ago If
one end of the city is depressed ia
value, so is the other. Both are now
in the same position, and the value
is relatively the same. The question
is now asked by what authority did
the assessor and his advisers make
a sweeping reduction of from Is to 80
per cent on one-half of the city and
pile it upon the other? The prop
erty on st. Anthony hill, by this
singular process of the assessor, is
valued much higher than it would
sell for cash, and when the taxpay-
ers appear before the board of
abatement they are treated with the
most supreme contempt, and later
the debt has got to be paid, and they
must pay it. A case in point: A
widow, living on Harrington avenue.
appeared before the board a few
days ago, and made affidavit that
her property was worth So 900 less
than 1T was assessed for, but not the
slightest attention was paid to her
prayer, Notwithstanding that she
alleged that she could not pay it, and
that she had no income. This same
property, in boom time, was as
sessed s110. For 1894 it has been as
sessed at over $170. The rent of the
property would not pay more than
the tax and insurance, leaving the
widow entirely without revenue. 1t
is this state of things that keeps
strangers from the city-for the
truth cannot be kept from them.
and on hearing of the facts they
refuse to invest. And yet, in view
OF all this, big salaries are still paid.
and 1t is very doubtful if the Ramsey
county delegation will do anything
to mitigate the above, with which
the people are inflicted.

Grasskoppers in February.

Feribault Pilot.
The latter part of February Walter
Birch told few friends that he had
found live young grasshoppers in his
yard that day, and the look of pity
he received from each made him feel
queer, and he decided not to tell any
one else until he could prove his re-
marks. He took a small bottle and
went pouto;into his yard, Securing a
llne specimen which had just come to
the surface. Whenever he met one of
the friends to whom he had men
toned the matter the day before he
hauled the bottle on him, and COM
pletely INDICATED himself from the
suspicion which had attached the day
before. The finding of grasshoppers
in Rice county during February, while
not to be depended upon as a regular
thing, is without precedent.
