THE LIQUOR PARTY,S NEW TACTICS

THE LIQUOR GAR1I'S NEW IhN'iNo'
Mr.. O'Gorman, as Corporation Counsel, re-
Gently favored the Aldermen with an opinion
claiming for the City Government the control
of licenses for the sale of liquor and for other
purposes within the city limits. Acting under
Mr.. O'Gormans opinion, the Aldermen and
Councilmen passed an ordinance authorizing
the Mayor to grant licenses for the sale OF
liquors, and committing the details OF the IL
cense business to his hands. Next, Mayor Hoff-
man framed the regulations for this new branch
of the liquor traffic, putting the license fee at the
quite moderate figure of $50. He then made
it known that be would grant license papers
to two persons, and THUS make test case to
90 before the civil tribunals; and in accordance
with this plan of operations he licensed two
vendors on Saturday, namely, Aaron Browning
of No. 10 Broome-st. and John Murray of No.
200 Seventh-ave., giving each paper III form
as follows:

and authority vested IN me by law, do give and grant

nit opened his house on Saturday afternoon,
and entertained his political and other friends 4;
but in the evening, the police took him into
custody for selling liquor without license from
the Excise Board He was bailed before JUS
tice Mansfield, yesterday morning, and will ap-
pear for exapipation on the 18th inst
The men whom Mayor Hoffman has selected
as the instruments in this new test to be taken
up to the Court of Appeals are of class that
has been excluded from license privileges One
is grocer, and as the Excise Board has closely
adhered to its resolve not to license groceries
he has been unable to Sell liquors in quantities
less than five gallons; the other is person
whose license the Board recently revoked for
cause. So, when tho case gets into tho higher
courts the city's counselor the liquor dealers
counsel-may raise questions which were not
touched in the cases in which the Court of APP
peals affirmed tho constitutionality of the Ex-
else law. The loungers at the City Hall view
this new move in the liquor interest as sharp
practice that must puzzle the courts, if nothing
more.

The Southern press take delight in publish
ing accounts of the great number of murders
now being perpetrated in that unhappy region,
under pretense of furnishing crime. Sometimes
these murders are by burning by public mob,
sometimes by stealthy assassination by sin
gle individual. sometimes by hanging, and
sometimes by shooting. Sometimes it is claimed
to be done for crime known to have been
perpetrated. Sometimes neither crime, Grim
inal, victim, nor avenger is known, and, in
deed, no evidence exists to distinguish it from
anv other murder wherein tho body of the
