man Warner both spcke hero Monday. They
drew an immense crowd. Townid evening
I saw more drunken people on the streets of
Sallna than you would see in Onmlia in it
week. Out in the vicinity of the park where
tbo speeches were delivered the ground was
fairly carpeted with beer and whisky bet
tles.

In tbo evening I was shown by n business
man nnd prominent physician nine Joints
where liquor Is sold by the drink. A candi
date for 11 state olllco accompanied us , and
these gentlemen , who wcro bore , tell mo Unit
wo only saw one-third of the Joints. T-hoy
claim Unit there arc thirty in all. The most
of the Joints tire in llio luck room of lunch
huusfs.
ThodniR stores sell wlilsUy at IB cents a
drink , Tbo customer merely stops behind a
pcrscrlptloa caw nnd helps himself. There
is no such thint ; as prohibition hero.
There are two wholesale original pu-lago ;
houses running here. Some persons who ni'o
strangers and do not luiow how easy It Is to
buy tbelr liquor by the drink , go to these
package houses and buy n bottle of beer.
Tlioy nro told that they must not open tbo
bottle Insiilo the building. They no sooner
got out of the door with the bottle until thfy
nro tackled by little boys who nro supplied
with corkscrews. These boys say : "I'll pull
the cork for you , pnrd , If you'll give mo the
bottle , " and the proposition is accepted , The
boy sells tlio bottle for 5 cents to the Junk
man. In mnny instances there is a little beer
left In llio bottle , and In tbls way tbcso
youngsters nro given a frco opportunity to
bocon.o drunkards.
Thirty-eight government licenses wcro Is
sued tor this city alone. Two thousand people
ple hnvo loft Salinn since the prohibitory law
went Into effect. Taxes are two per cent

turer or that the gray-haired man by Ids side
was u Methodist preachor. The hotel man
was Insulted at the suggestion nnd declared
his loyalty to the prohibition cause.
A half hour later the old preacher weat
out. The landlord then caino to mo nnd
snid : "For OotVssuko don't ' mention liquor

nothing but raw alcohol with a little syruj :

Thrco doors from the hotel Is n billiard hall

is ono of the Iowa towns that 1m utterly Ig
norcd the prohibition law , and apparent ) ;
the authorities have ns utterly Ignored llui
fact. The snlooii ) of Carroll hnvo never beci
closed liy prthlbltlon. There nro now thli
teen open saloons there which pay In th
uhapo of a line or a license < lf > 0 u year to th
city. There are three wholesale liipiu
houses there , and as the prohibitory lltnio
law bus never been cnfoivetl It cannot b
bald that the situation has materially change
since they had a regular license luxv.
In thli city of Marshalltown , U'siilo sue
facts as I could gather from my own ubscrvn
tlon and conversation with several citizens ,
called upon the mayor of the city , Nclsoi
Amos , estj. , and found hlir. u very frank uni
courteous gcntlounin. I asked him If ho hai
nny hesitancy in tolling mo of Ids exporlene
with prohlbltiua , Hesaldi
"N'ouo whatever. The records of niy ofilc
nro public property nnd on"n for Inspection
at nil times , My own opinions on all public
questions are five to any who think they con
cern tbo public , nml I have no objection to 1m
quoted ns authority for any statement I tuny
make. "
I requested him then to tell mo about pro
hibit ion Iu bis city , and ho snM : '
"I am now serving my fifth year as mayor.
I was first elected In ISSi ) , on a citizens'
ticket , Tlioro were tlionslxteen open saloons
in the city , payiug nothing Into the treasury.
I was cxpecteit to ch.inge the situation , hut ,
iillhotiKh I was then us pronounced a prold-
bltlonltt as there .was In the stute ,
I soon found that 1 was expected
to do the impossible. Finally 1 called
in the marshal and directed him to tell tbo
boys to come and see me. They all came and
I said to them : 'Boys , tbls Is wliat you must
do. You must rigidly close your places every
night at Id o'clock , hoop them absolutely
closed on Sundays , side doors , bark doors and
nil , sell to no minors or Iribltunl drunkards
and so far a * I uni concerned as mayor I will
let the state officers try to enforce tbo law ,
for I don't think I can. ' They all cheerfully
agreed to do us I asked , except ono who kept
a sporting house , Ho said he couldn't ' close
at that hour , forafterth.it ho had his best
business. 1 told him ho would have to do It ,
for there were officers under my orders to
compel him to do so nuda Jail to put him In
if lie refused , mid I would glvo him all tlio
law bo wanted. Ho wilted nnd like tbo
others Implicitly oo.nplloil with my orders. "
"This plan worked well until 1SS7 , when
a prosecuting attorney was elected by the
funnel's' voles through the Influence of the
Women's Christian Temperance union and
bo entered upon a crusade against the sa
loons. Wlien a state officer tbus took the
matter In liU hands I ifwpped It. The result
bus been that today there nro twenty to
thirty pliiiw where liquor 0,111 bo bought , In
cluding pretended club ixotm , nnd the city
collects nothing , while the prosecutions by
the county attorney , who has been re-elected ,
all fail and at llio same time largely Increases
tlio court cxpemes ,
For the lls-a ! year eloslnc1 In March , 1SS7 ,
there were S3 nrrosts for drunkenness in this
city. For tlio year ending in March , ISS' ' ' ,

for the year ending in March , 1V)0 ) , 131 , and
since Man li : " , ; . - . . u , to October 'iS , 110. Wo
have gone through the scale , from license tone
no license ; then to a system of lines rigidly
collected and orders fully enforced ; then to
'ho original package law , and now to indis
criminate selling without revenue or regula
tion. "
There Is n brewery here , but It does not
operate)1 now. The proprietor. ) , bowoviw ,
continue to deal op > nly In beer , ami receive
an average of three cars of beer weekly.
Mayor Amos sa .s bo is thoroughly cured of
Ills prohibition Ideas anil hopes soon to see
the state icturn to an effective high Hccnso
system. He says almost without exception
the business men and reputable citizens are
now In favor of that system , ana earnestly
hope Unit the amendment will be beaten in
Nebraska next week , for that will make It
nosier to get tlie Toiva law repealed nt the
next session of the legislature. I will add
that Mayor Ames is himself known to bo a.
thoroughly tumpcr-ato man , who bos no per

of the river and harbor bill ho had informed
Captinn William Marshall , the engineer in
charge of the Hennepln canal , that there wns
nn appropriation of $000,030 for work on that
enterprise , and naked him to submit u plan
In what minuter it should be expended.
Captlan Marshall responded by submitting n
very elaborate and carefully considered
report , in which ho suggested that the money
bo expended for the dam ami lock on Hock
river , as recommended In his original report ,
upon which the appropriation was
based. It appears that after the
passage ot the bill by the huuse of represent
ative * it was sent to tbo senate , where an
amendment offcied by Senator Gorman wns
nddeil providing that the secretary of war
could In bis judgment change tbo sl ; s and
locations of the variant locks. Senator ( ! or-
man , In offering tbls amendment , explnlned
that ho bad many years ngo been engaged in
in the management of a canal , and knew from
personal ex pcrloncu that boats of a certain
sl/o were more economical and convenient
than those of other il/o. It was thought
necessary bv him , therefore , that the secre
tary of war should make an investigation to
determine upon the sl/e and designs of boats
to bo used , and that tbo locks should bo made
ttf conform. Upon the receipt of Captain
Mar-hull's plans tbo chief of engineers culled
his attention to the suggestion of Mr. ( ! or-
mnu nnd Instructed him to make a thorough
investigation of tlio character of the boats
uscit upon artitltial waterways in this conn-
try anil Kni-ope for the purjiose of determin
ing which sUe' and kind were most suitable
for transportation purposes on such channels
ns the proposed canal. Captain Marshall
will therefore devote ) tlio next few weeks to
the investigation , and upon his report the
secretary of war will determine whether to
adopt the speclllcatlons for locks nlrcudv
submitted or change them In accordance with
the discretion permitted him by the act ol
