THE LI QUO 11 QUEST I OX.
The new ltili license law for Minn
cfottt showed it inlhieino a re
striction upon the trallle from the very
outset. It rcmiircH a license fen of
1000 in all cities having a population
of 10,000 or nioro. and 8J0O in all
other places, Itotiiins from each
county thus far show a fallin,' off of
n fifth from the nitmhcr of applications
for license made last year under
(lie old law
and there promises lo be
n still fiiillmr reduction. Last year
there wax 22'JCt applications, while this
year there are but 18(5l!. Oreynniun.
.Tu.-t hiieh arguments nn the aliovo.
AVit li which the high lirense advocates
would inula! the people believe that
an iucroasod liceii'-eoti the liquor traf
fic would hold it in check, and reduce
consumption, has a tendency to make
ns ilisl. ii liltli! lirnil. tlin iili'ii - mi nli
smil. lli.rt. lici.sn ivhiiI.i xni (..,.fc
llio sale of liipior in the heist, unless
the license be placed so high that no
one could pay it, and that would be,
practically, prohibition. Take a
town the size of Union for instanc!:
JSay there are three saloon keeper
.Messrs. Itrowu. Mark and White
who pay, and can afford lo pay, each,
1hreo hundred ami thirty-ihree and a
third dollars license per year. Let
the city council raise t lie license to
one thousand dollars per year and the
consequence would be that the above
mentioned saloon keepers would tind
it convenient to enter into u partner-
fillip, tit up a more extensive and in
viting establishment than either Had,
and dispense their beverages over the
same counter with the following re
sult: The price of whiskey would re
main as before 10 cents a gla-. Mini
tho sunn amount would ho coi s :m id,
the prolltsto the saloon ke.'pern would
be fio same, or increased, and the
revenue to tho city would bo no great
er than it was before the license was
raised.
The idea (hut high license would bo
n check on the Ihpmr tratlle and a cor
rect way in which to mitigate tho evils
of intemperance, is so palpably false
that it is not worth discussing, mid
will not receive attention from pcuple
who think that the time has arrived
-when the sale of intoxicants should be
stopped. Neither does it commend
itself to those who think that the evils
of intemperance have been over uMi-
inated, and who do not object to the
Iraflte.
It is not our intention to take part
in the present prohibition campaign
to any great extent. Wo shall cast
our vote in the way that our reason
counsels us is best, and shall not try
to prevent others from doing tl o
finnie. The above remarks on high
license are made for the reason that we
despiho sophistry and hypocrisy, and
when wo meet them cannot refrain
from giving them a kick. We prefer
to hear the truth at all times no matter
what the consequences may be. At
the election next November, tho-e
who think the present state or affairs,
in regard to tho liipior trallic, is good
enough, will vote agiiitiM. prohibition.
I'liohu who think that tho liiiior tralllu
Is an mil that should hu suiiiiuaiily j
Mopped, will vote fur prohihiliou, for j
that N tin; only way it can ho a roiu-
lishid. Prohihiliou trill prohibit if .
tho majority of tho puoplo do.-iro it to. !
"Whi'tliiT it luohibits or not should
tho iiniouduiout curry will dopoud i
oiitirely upon tho action of tho lois- '
Jaturo. That hody can rnuloi- tho
law inoporutivo if they wish to, or can
liresorlho such ponnltio for its viola-
tion that u man would as soon think

there can he no doulit that tho people

'" This ticket lias probably been paid i

in the hands of auv man, woman or I
! child, white wr red, black or vellow, I
who favors the association by present
ing it. It is good for entrance and
grandstand, and the bearer, if driv
ing, will be entitled to pass a team
free. The association recognizes the
fact that its splendid success is owing
largely if not wholly, to tho notices
freely given by the press, anil, while
we cannot render an equivalent in
cash, we return our grateful thanks."
Those Michigan people have a correct
idea of the situation.
Tho Detroit Labor Acrfsays: The
necessity lor a simple mode of luxa
tion is plain to every thinking man.
The tariff and internal revenue taxes
are constantly evaded, and the county
and city tuxes give rise to a large
amount of fraud, especially when a
iu:in lias considerable personal prop
erty. Vacant land hold on specula
lilt Ion is taxed at a low rate, while
single improved lots are taxed heavily.
We should substitute for these cum
bersome and easily evaded taxes a
single tax on laud values. Such a tax
would abolish land speculation and
give the producer access to it.
Washington Letter.
From our iegu!ureoiTt,ptiudeut,l
Sea Side House. July loth, 18s7.
Neither tne president nor your cor
refpondeut me ai the Capital this
week and tiie government at Wash
ington will have to get along as best
it can. The Capital city became too
hot for me, and I came to this usually
breezy place only to tiud that the sun
l,,ul "ntU-iinloil my anival. I know
of hut one hotter place, (and Mr. lu
fior.-ol denies the existence of that) ,
than the hoard walk alonj? tho beach
of Atlantic: Citv when tho winu is still
or seaward. But, when tho wind is
from the sea, as it is to-day, ami you
take your oasu on tho veranda of your
hotel, or loll on tho beach ami watch
the litlm limbed youth and maidens in
their Imthing costumes, life seems
worth living even in .Inly, and New
tlursey, contrary to a common predju
dico, ood for something.
Of tho many seaside ruorts extond
X from Loii'' Branch to Cape Mav,
Atlantic Oily is tho lar-rcd and most
'popular. It was founded in a lot of j
crude wooden cottnuus and boarding
' houses for denizens of tho (Junker I
City who wero darlii,' enouirli to as- i
touish their bodies with a sua liatli.
i Their children have jrrown up to love
' this ue of water, mid with more
money and loiMiru than their fathers
had, huilt splendid cottayos und hotels
which tiro fre'ipiented hy guests from
l.os Anyeles to Uotou. Thooo who
suppose Atluntle UUy is merely u
(iununer resort will bo surprised to see
sto'iin-hoatiujf apparatus in tho large
hotel.-.. The huight of tho kotuou hore,
1 am told, is in February and March,
Society comes from Philadelphia, Hal
tlit'ure, Washington and Jfow York
to louiiporato from tho ruck itud
drudgery of ostoutntious life, nnd to
uinjoy tho winter uir that ha boon
tempered through the (lulf Stronm
with u dash or the tropics. Hut the
ooftuiuutt! land broou, o Sahmn-liko
in muninor, U fro4hif cold in winter,
hutiro thu necessity of stouiu-huatlnji
in order that the lento,, gue.t may
tinvo oilier man jentcu euieriaiu
mi'iit . ' '
n it i l iptiunisii .mad- wi imi i-
cans arc srrowinir to ho. The women '
tuiil men of wealth are more at home
almost r.ny where than under their
own roof-tree. They lilt from Cana
da to Florida, from New York to Par
is. The palace-car and transatlantic
steamers are their vehicles.
The ho-
tel is their home. The "son of toil"
i as he is called in the parlance ot dctn-
! agogues strike- from city to city trav
; eling with greater stale and comfort
than was known to kings and emper
ors fifty years ago. W'i are making
rapid strides, whither? It would be
pessimistic to suggest the place abol
ished by fngersol. Hut though there
bo no such place in our bright Amer
ican Iugersolian lexicon, it is still well
to atk whither?
Tens of thousands of these ''sous
of toil," their wives and children,
conic here in excursions every week
and spend money in a way that the
wealthy of the old world would call
extravagant. Their amusements and
pastimes are low. Ucer gardens and
minstrel shows; dancing halls witli
surroundings and influences extreme
ly bud.
