SALOONS OR DIVES.

The temperance question, which Sen
ator Pettigrew has put to the presi-
dent in his resolution calling for ia
formation in regard to the sale OF
liquor in the Philippines, has for a
basis the complaints of excessive
drinking among American soldiers IN
Manila.
Since our army entered the city there
has been an increase of saloons and
the native places where is sold a vile
drink resembling gin have been shut
up. This native drink was sold at a
cent glass and three or four glasses
We're enough to make an Anglo-saNon
wild, 1t is said by an army officer that
il was simply a choice of evils; either
the soldier must have the American
saloon or he would buy the native
gin from the Chinese.
ENtravagant stories have been told
OF the amount Of liquor sent from the
United States to the Philippines, some
persons putting it as high as 5000 bar
rels to Manila in November. The Off
Gals show for that month there Were
shipped to all foreign countries 21,s07
gallons, worth $36,471.

ton that there is any secret alliance

fact that the constitution expressly
prohibits such alliances or agreements.

OF the Times last June, its type was
set by hand and the paper was using
a plate 'stelegraphic" service. Today
the Times has in. operation the latest
and best type-casting machines that
money will buy and has a wire tele-
graphic service equal to the best Of
Iowa afternoon papers.
That the Times, under Mr.. Reimers'
vigorous management, is marching
straight to the front. is evidenced ny
its phenomenal increase in paid circu-
lation. A sworn statement recently
published makes the following interest
ing showing:
September, 1899, paid circulation 2 ., 2A4t
October, 1899, paid circulation. 2,4s2
November, 1890, paid circulation. 1916
December, 1899, paid circulation. 3, 037
January. 1900, paid circulation. 3,163
February, 1900, paid circulation. :, s223
We doubt il any other daily paper
in Iowa can show a proportionate in
crease i'll circulation. In connection
with this circulation statement, Mr..
Reimers is making the following guar
.antee to advertisers:
sThe Daily Times will make all Of
its advertising contraets-foreien and
local-with the express stipulation
that it has a paid circulation list in
the city of Davenport and vicinity that
is lar larger than that of any other
Davenport newspaper. Proof to the
contrary will give any advertiser his
space, for one year, for nothing"

DEATH OF JUDGE W. ". BARR.
Was a Relative OF Mrs. Lee Lewis, OF
q This City.

The Associated Press dispatches last
week contained an account of a disas-
trous fire at Clarion, Pa, in which
Judge w. w. Barr, of that place, lost
his life. Judge Barr was relative of
Mrs. Lee Lewis, of No. 1875 Sheffield
street, and attended a family reunion
in this city about fifteen years ago.
While here Judge Barr became ac-
quainted with a number of Ottumwa
people who. will learn, with regret of
his demise. Following is the dispatch.
Clarion, Pa, Feb. 27-Fire destroy
ed the business portion of Clarion rhis
morning, entailing a loss of $3.50, 1000.
During the fire Judge w. W. Barr was
in his law Office trying to save valuable
papers when suddenly he fell owe
dead. He was 10 years of age and had
filed many public offices in the coun>
ty and was at one time a member OF
the legislature"
Judge Barr was brother of Mrs.
Lee Lewis mother, Mrs A. B. New

SHAW ON roaTo RICO BILL.
Iowa Governor Supports the Stand Of
Republican congressman.

Des AIoines, March 6.-Governor
Shaw is standing with the Iowa dele
cation in congress on the Porto Rico
tariff bill. y
Yes, I have said had no criticism
of the Porto Rico tariff BILL" said the
governor. Il am pleased, not that. a
tariff has been levied, but that con-
gress feels free to do whatever seems
,expedient. Todd the wisest thing in
the present tense is always wise. If
the Porto .Ricans need revenues, and
this seems to be admitted, how, from
a republican standpoint, can they be
more wisely furnished than by means
of slight tariff, admittedly in no
manner burdensome? And how can
Porto Ricans be better educated in
craftsmanship than by teaching them
the advantages of a tariff, of even a
protective tariff? Future congresses
will be wise enough to deal with future
emergencies, and it may be well to
leave the field open for the enactment
of any law at any time that shall con-
serve the Porto Ricans..''

The senate has passed bill to
amend curious defect in the medical
practice laws. When the medical ex-
animation law was passed decade or
more ago. it provided that all persons
who would practice in the state must
be examined; except, that persons who
had practiced five years or more should
be given certificates without examina-
ton. This exception has remained in
the law ever since. 1t is of no effect
now, because twas intended to except
simply experienced physicians when
the law went into effect. Nevertheless
in q case in Marion county last sum
mer Judge Gamble held the law ,,l-
constitutional because it created 'sfa-
rored class" contrary to the constitu-
ton; and the decision was accepted by
lawyers generally as sound. The
amendment leaves out this exception
clause. Otherwise, the entire examin-
alton provision would have remained

Cownie WIN Ignore Resolu,Ion.

Des Moines, March 6.-When the
resolution providing for an investiga-
ton of the charges against John Cow
ME was tabled Mr.. Head, who intro
duced the resolution, was under the
impression that Mr.. Cownie was about
to send a communication to the house
on the subject. Mr.. Head was about to
move that the resolution be adopted
when Mr.. Hughes told him that he
heard Mr.. Cownie was preparing let
ter to be sent to the house. Wishing
to grant Mr.. Cownie any courtesy in
the matter, Mr.. Head would have had
the matter delayed, but at this juno
ture Mr.. Eaton had the resolution ta-
bled. The communication Mr.. Cownie
was said to be preparing has not made
its appearance, and Mr.. Cownie is said
to have made up his mind to ignore the
charges made against him.
