PRESTIGE or GERMAN NAVY.

The bombardment Of cities on the
northeast coast OF England gives pres.
tige to, the, German navy. Whatever
motive there may have. been for this
action on, the part OF Germany il
seems to- have, created panic on the
part of the English people. 1t is sug-
gestad that the victory on the part OF
the German navy is but the beginning
OF q plan to attack the English coast
at several other places. 1t probably
had for, its object the thought of sug.
costing to England that she had bet
ter keep her. soldiers at home rather
than to send them to the continent to
meet the German forces. We have no
doubt, but, what the effect will be to
induce England to increase her stand
ing army at home.
!, While the fleet of Germany is in
ferior to that of England it seems to
have the advantage in alertness ana
tn surprising England. We have but
little question but what if the British
feet, should come in contact with that
OF Germany the victory would be with
the former but in as much as Ger
many seems to be able to keep her
fleet concealed and ventures out only
when her opponent is not on her
guard she is able to commit all sorts
OF depredations. Ii England does not
keep better lookout for assaults
from the German fleet, she will find
herself crippled by degrees and in
he!1ong run may become victim OF
German strategy and activity.

ton where liquor could be transport
ed from one state into another. I'm
der national prohibition this could not
be done and if,the law were enforced
the only opportunity to secure liquors
would be outside OF the United States
and with the increased efficiency OF
the police force under national con-
troll there would be less probability
OF this being accomplished.
We are inclined to believe that it is
but a question of time until the peo-
pie will be given an opportunity to
vote upon national prohibition and
when the time comes we predict that
the people would rally to measure OF
this kind more readily than to reso-
luton in favor of state or local pro-
hibition. If Mr.. Bryan has lined up
against national prohibition it seems
to US that he will have something to
explain to the friends of the movement
and they will require something more
than a declaration from him that he
is democrat and so much of state
rights" man that he could not favor
the measure.
Underwood, the leader of the ma
jority in the house, was, perhaps, one
CT the strongest opponents OF the
measure. The experiment OF state
wide prohibition was tried in Iowa
for several years and did not
prove effective and later it was SUI
perseded by what is now known as
the mulct law. There is now consid-
cradle agitation for repeal of the
present law and the adoption OF what
would be regarded as practically pro-
hibition In the state, some contend
ing that less drunkenness occurred un-
der the prohibitory law, while others
contend that there is less intoXication
under the present law. 1t would be
no surprise il it should turn out that
the advocates of a change should sue
coed in wiping off of the statute books
the present law in order to again try
tie experiment of prohibition. There
is but little question but what at the
coming legislature an effort will be
made to repeal the present law or
modify il in some material respects.

!. PRESIDENTS PRESTIGE.
President Wilson is finding out t

President Wilson is finding out that
senatorial courtesy is threatening his
prestige.,as q leader OF his party. lie
has found by experience that his
machine is so all powerful that dem,
ocrats as q, rule are willing to sub
scribe to almost anything that he pro,
poses. He has, however. q few re-
cal0itrant senators. who do not hest,
tate,.to challenge his, right to dictate
to them. He. has met two or three
rebuffs lately from senators whom he
has sought to haze for their independ-
enceain not following his leadership
on all party questions. Senator Reed,
Of Missouri, Hitchcock, OF Nebraska,
and Gorham, of New York, are three
Democratic senators who reserve the
right to vote as their judgement die
ttatess on matters OF legislation. Sen
ntor. Hitchcock finds that Mr.. Bryan
is able to control appointments In the
state r0f Nebraska. Senator Reed,
Of Missouri, picked ont a postmaster
for Kansas City but the president de-
cided on q man by the name OF W.
NJ. Coils as postmaster for that place
and sent his name to the senate for
ratification. ~ The senate, at the re-
quest of Senator Reed, turned down
the appointment. A short time ago
John Flynn was appointed by the
president federal attorney for wes-
tern New York while Senator Gorham
favored another party for the place.
At the request OF Senator Gorham
the senate turned down the white
horon' a nnnipfmont and tho president
now appreciates that because SEN
ator does not follow his leadership,
he is, not able to punish him by ap-
pointing some one to Office whom the
senator does not favor.
We are not passing on the question
of the justice OF senatorial courtesy
but,w see good sized breach start
ed In the democratic party which may
result In caiising the president an
immense amount OF trouble.

!. NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

Excitement of the most intense char
actef has prevailed at the national cap,
ital for several days, occasioned by
the. agitation over the question OF ma
tiOnal prohibition. A resolution was
upon yesterday before the house, fav-
Oring an amendment to the constitution
making prohibition nation wide. A
rule presented to the house provided
for liberal discussion. which opportun
ity was embraced by the orators of
that, body. Perhaps a larger number
of those who favored national legisla
ton were heard than those who were
opposed to it. but when the vote was
had the resolution failed to carry. the
vote standing 1877 to 1879, sixty votes
less than necessary to adopt the pro
possl as it required two thirds.
The result was no surprise to either
side as Mr.. Hobson, who led for the
resolution, conceded at the start that
II would probably not receive two
thirds vote. The Iowa members, out
side OF Volmer of Davenport, and Scott
of Sioux City, voted in favor of the
resolution. Volmer made speech
against its adoption and undertook to
prove by the conduct OF such illus
triOus characters as George Washing
ton, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln that the adoption of the reso-
luton would prove mistake. The
citation of his authorities must have
appeared as joke before the mem
hers OF the house. The newspaper re-
ports of late have counted William j.
Bryan as against the resolution. II
Mr.. Bryan is the temperance man he
would have the people believe we can
not see a good reason why he would
throw his influence against the reso-
luton.
National prohibition is certainly bet
ter and would prove more effective
than state or local prohibition. 1t
would be more difficult for bootleggers
or those who would be inclined to vi
olate the law by handling intoxicat-
ing liquors to secure it under national
prohibition than under state prohibit
