PROHIBITION IN THE STATES.
When tba lowa prohibitory law was framed It recognised the right of distilleries to manufacture alcohols for export beyond the borders of the State for commercial, medical, and scientific purposes, but whioh were not to be used as bever•ges. There Is a large distillery m Dee Mollies, the capital of the S;ate (a olty of 40,000 inhabitants), without a single open saloon. The friends of temperance attempted to close the distillery under the law by injunction. The judge of the Glrouit Oaurt h«a rendered a decision relating the injunction, holding that the law protests the distilleries m the manufacture of liquors for export to other States, limited only by the lawa m the States where they are Bold. This is probably a correct and sensible interpretation of the law ; but it places the advocates of prohibition In the State of lowa In the anomalous position of refusing to think intoxicating drinks, but of permitting them to be manufactured for the residents of other Satea to drink.
