CONNECTICUT HAS THE MANE LAW.

The Legislature of Connecticut, which has been
for some weeks carefully maturing stringent and
well-guarded act of Liquor Prohibition, yesterday
passed il through both Houses by very decided ma
ioritesone hnndred and toryegh to sirtyoHe in the
House and thirteen TO in the Senate. OF course,
a number of the adyersaries in the House and nearly
all of those in the Senate withheld their votes; but
they could have affected the result. TIE PEOPLE
passed the Maine Law last April and the Legislature
has but enforced and ratified their decision. The
act as we have said, is well drawn-the penalties,
though too low, higher than in most Prohibitory
Laws now in existence, and the opportunities AFFORDED
for prosecuting and convcting offenders are ample.
We believe the act takes effect an the LIST of August.
The Governor will probably syn it to-day if he did
not last evening. There is 40 mistake here.
Now, friends of Temperance in Connecticut it
becomes yen to organize club or league in each
township and city to take that this act is prompt
ly and thoroughly enforced. Ii this is not generally
done, the act will prove only sham and disgrace.
And do you bear in mind that you can stop the Liquor
Traffic other day SO easily as on that whereon
this act takes effect.
