PROHIBITION IN IOWA, The St. Paul Pioncer Press, the lead- ing republican daily of Minnesota, has this to say concerning tho prohibitory law just enacted by the Towa legislature There are certain o yus disesses which, when once contracted, must run Pablished every morning, excopl Sunday® The i b 01801 o ihubed erery, wor theie ooutss beforo th poiton, can bo bk eliminated from the system; and prohi bition seems to be one of them, Practi- cal considerations, clearly demonstrated, and practical experience of the most un }:lnnsnnt sort have not banished the fever rom the blood or the delusions from th brain of Iowa republicans, The lowe house of the legislature passed, on S | urday, the Kennedy bill, which will un- doubtedly be ratified by the scnate.

The absurdity of the prohibitory proposition could scarcely be boetter set forth than in this vote of the house—where fifty-twc members, representing, let us say, = fraction of the people in proportion to their number, announced to forty-one membaers, and the portion whom they represent, that thoy would not hereafter be permitted to engage within the state ina particular kind of business, which has been pursued by common consent as long as history records; and moreover, that their privato habits, the contents of their cellars, and the articles laced upon their tables, would enceforth be limited by legis- lative decre. If it were not, like all other fanaticism, so dangerous by exam- le, it would be supremely rediculous. f course nobody expects the law to be obeyed, and the first step will by to test it in the courts, Equally, of course, the liquor men are delighted at the defeat of high license, the only thing they really fear, and the substitution of something which has been so repeatedly proved to be about ten per cent tyranny and ninety per cent pure sham. The most satisfac- tory feature of the situation is that con- stitutional prohibition is, for the time being, entirely out of the question; and that this little importation from the dark ages will be put on the statute books, where it can be easily repealed when the people of Iowa fully recover their senses, as they fortunately appear to be doing very rapidly, to judge from the change in the fortunes of prohibition in the past two years.

HOUSE SEWERAGE. Since the establishment of water works and a system of sewerage the plumber has found a profitable field in Omaha, and itis of tho utmoat importancs to our citizens that all plumbing should be done in a thorough and scientific manner. The public know but very little of the plumber’s art, except his art in charging what seom to ba exorbitant prices. The builder, whether he is a carpenter, a brisklayor or a mason, knows bub little moro than the general public concerning plumbing work, Ococasionally the archi- tect has some little knowledge of the sanitary principles that ought to be fol- lowed in the construction of houses. It is a great mistake. however, to trust to Tur house committee on judiciary has ordered an adverse report on the Me- Garrahan claim. This, however, will not disturb McGarrahan, who is as persistent as Myra Clark Gaines. Mz. Guricas feels happy. His partner Dobbs has been confirmed in the Beat- rice land office. But what will Col. Colby say now? Probably he will ex- claim, in the languagoe of the disappointed Kenoist, “Oh ——!" Tho most sensible thing Omaha can do [the plumber for the efficiency is to make out ndeel in foo simplo of [0f his ~work. Tt s custom- all the property within the city limits |27y to conceal all the pipes from]the eyosight, and in this way the plumber, if inclined to be dishonest, can use thin pipe, make bad joints, leave out traps, and insert inferior fit- tings, Of course we do not mean to imply that all plumbers will do this, but the temptation fo do poor work and charge for it the same as for superior work is very strong, as so many excellent opportunities are afforded for such dis- honesty. The Philadelphia Record re- cently discussed the subject of house sowerage and suggested some valuable ideas, which no doubt will interest the people of Omaha, The following is an extract from the Zecord's article on in their opinion of newapapers Vander. | house sewerage: bilt the other day said ‘‘the newspapers | When a house is properly planned in be d—d,” and now Keifer says that he|tho first instance the sinke, baths, wator- “‘dosn't oave & ~— —— for the press.” |closots and other fixtures which connect Horeis a forcible illustratipn of two with the sewer will bo so placed that the # ’ X ipes from them shall in all cases avoid great minds ruuning together in one rooms and living rooms, and pass channel, only through closets, bathrooms or pass- 08 . roughout their course they A . should be exposed to view, or at most Tk new oity directory contains 18,410 | j;,01046d only by a readily romovable nsmes, exclusive of firms and duplica-|door or flap.

THE INCREASE OF CRIME. The startling increase of crime and the vast number of unpunished criminals throughout the country naturally give riso to the question whether the punish- ment of crime has become a thing of the past. The large cities are now ruled by thieves, thugs and murderers, who com- bine against society, and are never at a loss for friends and means to defeat the ends of justice. Society n» longer seoms to have adequate protection, and the con- viction and just punishment of a crim- inal is a rare occurrence. It is true that we have laws, but the troublo is that they are mnot properly entorced. Kvery opportunity is afforded to the criminal to escape punishment through dolays and technicalities, the lonioncy of juries, the tender-hearted- ness of judges, and the lack of back- bone on the part of the chief executive. Itisa common thing for a Nebraska jury to convict a man, and then turn round and sign a petition, headed by the judge and prosecuting attorney, asking the governor either to pardon the con- vict or commute his sentence. Such has been the case in two convictions for murder The petition, asking that the seantence of the doomed men be com- muted to life imprisonment were granted by the governor, although there was no error in the trials. Society itself is greatly to blame for this state of affairs, for the petitions have been numerously signed by citizens who well knew that the convicted men were guilty of delib- erate murder, Nebraska, however, is not the only state where criminals receive the benefits of a loose administration of the law. It isso in nearly overy state of tho Union, Take, for instance, Ohio. There are now confined at the Hamilton fcounty jail forty-two persons charged with murder, Four of the prisoners are confessed mur- derers, of the most atrocious character. There is no doubt as to their guilt; and their trial, if it ever takes place, can be nothing more than a mero matter of form, yet there are attorneys who are oxerting in behalf of those cut throats every possible effort to save their necke. They are interposing every conceivable technicality to secure delay. The same course is pursued in every criminal case, not only in Cincipnati, but in every other city. It is no wonder that theCincinnati Commercial Gazette becomes indignant at this terrible commentary on justice, and asks whethor crime can be punished, The Commerciat Gazelte re- marks that ‘‘these technicalities may be in accordance with laws strictly con- strued, but if this is the case it is per- foctly plain that the laws ought to be changed in the interests of justice and society. As matters stand, there is cer- tainly far more due to society than to criminals, and if wo would have laws re- spected the machinery must be modified and made reasonably easy and sure of prompt execution.” Prompt and syre punishment of crime will create respect and fear of the law, and it is high time that such a reform wore inaugurated, Poople are becoming tired of seeing eriminals escape punish- ment, and hence the frequent taking of the law into their own hands, WEST OF THE MISSOURI, Seward county has received the cold shoulder from the Union Pacific railroad company. The committee appointed to confer with the officials and find out on what terms the company would build through the county, has been silently suubbed, and the enthusiasm which at first signaled the movement for a competing line has completely subsided. This is a lesson to ambitious counties which should bo heeded. The business men of Seward attempted to approach the ‘“high mighties’ of the company without the help of the trusty local henchmen of the Carnes and Jones stripe, and the result was a bitter disappointment. The com. mittee has waited since the first of Fel ruary for an invitation to come to Omaha, and 18 waiting still. “*We do not know why word was not sent,” moans The Reporter, “If circurstances prevented any business from being done by the offi. cers of the road with the committee, it would seem as if ordinaty courtesy would require at least a statement to that effect. The committee was told that they would bo notified at or about a certain time, and after publishing this understanding to the people of the county, it queer pro- ceeding that thoy have nof i @ word from the U, P.

So far all disinterested accounts agree thiat development of the coal flelds are also interested in the Burlington & 1Missouri River railroad. The Kearney canal is not yot open to navigation. About £45,000 have alreaay been expended in the work, and $10,000 additional will be required to fully com- plete the enterprise, including reservoir, flumings, ete. The entire work will be completed early next summer. The undertaking is a most important one for Kearney, and will doubtlees prove a prominent factor in tho future prosperity of the town. The canal will furnish water power equal to any in the state be- sides supplying the city with water for fire and domestic purposes. It will also be utilized in irrigating the adjoining land and bringing it under cultivation. If “he who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grow before,” is on- titled to the thanks of his country, the Kearney Canal company cortainly de- serves a full measure of praise. The recent death of George Fryerin Denver, from an over dose of morphine administered by himself, recalls Mark Twain's picture of his golden dreams and their realization i Nevada. Fryer made his first strike in 1865, realizing $40,000. Again in the Leadville excite- men he became a prominent figure, and the fabulous riches of Kryer's Hill wero heralded from one end of the country to the other. He disposed of his claims be- fore the bubble was punctured and re- tired to New York in 1879 worth all the way frem a quarter to half a million. Here he entered at once upon a life of dissipation and profligacy and got away with most of his fortune. Within the past year he returned to Denver and with the assistance of old time mining friends struggled against the passions which enslaved him. But poverty press- ed closer and closer and business ventures farled to realize as of old. He returned to his cups with the passion of despair and resorted to morphine to woo the sleep which nature refused. This con- tinued but a ehort time when an over- dose of the latter drug gave him the rest he craved for. A bride of less than a year is left alone to mourn the close of a purposeless life ¢ Secretary Teller recently made a very sensible ruling to govern in cases where homesteaded land is found to contain mineral. Some weeks ago two special agents of the government visited Huer- fano and Las Animas counties, Uolo., where a large amount of land had been homesteaded and pre-empted as agri- cultural land, and reported as the result of thoir investigations, that the land con- tained valuable deposits of coal. The re- sult of this report would have been the cancellation of the patents, had not a vigorous protest been sent to Washing- ton endorsed by tho state authorities. In transmitting this document to the eneral Jand office the secretary endorsed it as follows: *My opinion is, when- ever an entry is made in good faith, and for the purpose of acquiring a home, and thereis more money to be made out of town lots and provisions than will be taken out of the ground. The financial condition of the Northern Pacifio is sadly in noed of 4 bocst of some kind, and no botter way to improveit can be found than a huge mining excitement. The in- accessibility of the diggings during winter favors a scheme of this kind, and the ground being sovered with snow a thor- ough examinssion cannct e made till early summer. The company has issmed a gilt-edged foldsw proclaiming the *‘fab- ulous” wealth of that region, and setting forth the 1mportant fact that the Nor- thern Pacific is the only direct voute to tho mines. On the back of the folder are the letters G. . L. D. on jet black background. The title page has the rep- resentation of a miner's pan filled with gold-dust and nuggets, pictured on the front side with a dollar pieco dated 3846), followed by the words *‘per pan,” and on the black background in [ d letter, “‘in the fields of tht Coeur d’Alene.” The artist might have added the picture of a cadaverous miner on the return, his pock- ots empty and his tattered coat tails | struggling to shelter the barren pros- pect. Ameng the most interesting of recent rumors are those relating to the new re- Iations that are to exist between the Union Pacific and the Oregon railway and Navigation company. It is said that the former desired to secure contrel of the latter, but, failing in that, now pro- poses to lease the property, and that this lease is likely to be made. As a con- firmation of this report, says The Railway Register, the announcement is cited of the determination of the Northern Pacific to at once complete its main line from Wallula Junction to Tacoms. But it 18 more probable that the object of this construction is to make sure of the land grant which was made to this portion of the road. But stranger things have hap- pened than the Union Pacific should suc- ceed in leasing the Oregon railway and Navigation company’s lines. The Oregon Short Line would be extended to Port- land and could thereby secure a larga share of the valuable Oregon business which is #o desirable. It isx probable that could these plans be carried out the earnings of the Oregon Short Line would soon show a marked inciease. Mean- time the ambitious Gregon Transconti- nental, which was organized to control both the Northern Pacific and the Ore- gon Railway and Navigation company is in the throes of dissolution. Wages and Raw Materials, St. Louis Republican. Tho argument of the vrotectionists is that wages are higher in this country than abroad, and that, therefore, manufactur- ers of the United States cannot compete with those of Europe. ¥t will occur to the careful reader that the chief element in manufactures 18 the raw material. The value of the manufactures of the United States in the census year was 85,369,679, - 191. The cost of materals was $3,396,- 283,049, while the total amount paid in wages was $047,953,795. It will be ob- an entryman shows full compliance with law upon lands returned as agrieultural by the proper sueveyor general, such entry should be allowed, notwithstanding a special agent may roport that the land covered by it contains valuable deposits of coal. A distinction should be main- tained between abona fide entry of the character referred to and one made for apeculative purpose under cover of either the homestead or pre-emption laws.” All reports agree that the cattle on the ranges of Montana have suffered severe- ly during the present winter, and hun- dreds are known to have perished. Since Now Years' a sucsession of snow storms have swept the valleys. In the Missouri valley the snow has maintained an aver- age depth of one foot for six weeks. The same is true of the Yellowstone, Musselshell and Judith valleys. ‘“The winter is not yet sufficiently advanced,” says The Bozeman Courier, *‘to- form any rcliable estimate of the probable losses in cattle, horses and sheep on the ranges mentioned, but we are seriously apprehensive, in commonwith many stook- men, that the prospect is anything but tavorable for a profitable outcome, es- pecially if the severe winter weather keeps on a weck or two longer. “Usually we should consider that the moat trying period for stock is yet to come—the month of March—and if thi ouours year, as usual, there is.no dis guising the fact that the percentage of losses in Montana flocks and herds will necessarily be seriously and unusually heavy. Asa matter of course the heav- iest losses will occur in herds of cattle and flocks of sheep which ware shipped or driven into the territory during the summer and fall, as they were not gen- erally in as good condition as the natives when winter set in, and were not accus- tomed to ‘‘rustle” upon snow cewered ranges for a living. Bub ualess the weather speedily moderates, the severe mortality will not be contined to recent importations, as native cattle and shaep cannot long exist where their only sub- sistence—bunch grass—is buried beneath one or two foet of snow, and the ther- mometer for weoks together is playing hide and seek with zero.” served the raw materials amounted to nearly four times as much as the wages. 1If we take the special industries which are most'clamorous for protection it will be found they are the very ones in which wages bear the least proportion to the cost of materials. For example, the ma- terials used in the manufacture of drugs were valued at $24,380,566, while the amount paid in wages was only $4,557,- 163; the materials used in the manufac- ture of iron and steel were worth $191,- 281,000, while the wages paid amounted to only $55,476,785; in leather, curried, the materials used were worth 859,306, 509, while the wages amounted to $4,845 « 418; in leather, tanned, the materials were worth $85,042,207, while the wages paid amounted to only $9,204,243; in lumber, the materials were worth $146,- 155,385, while the wages paid amounted to only $31,845,794; in paints the ma- terials used were worth $17,062,5652, while the wages paid amounted to only $2,132,265; in sugar and molases the materials were worth $144,698,499, and the wages paid amounted to only $2,875,- 032; in worsted goods the materials were worth $22,013,628, while the wages paid amounted to 85;683,027;in woolen goods the materials used were worth $100,845,- 611, while the wages paid amounted to $25,836,392, It must be apparent to any reflecting person that manufzcturers of this country are barred out of the markets of the world on account of the cost of raw materials, much more than by the higher wages paid here. The raw materials used by manufacturers, when they are the product of our own country, are made dear made dear by the univer- #al system, of taxation which prevail We are doing business on an artificial basis, which must be reformed, and no doubt the earlier the reformation takes place the better for all, Pott Ofice Changes, 1n Nebraska and Iowa, during the week ending March 4, 1884, furnished by Wm.
