PROHIBITION AND LICENSE

PROHIBITION AND LICENSE.
The Boston Journal says:
The main significance of our Stats
election undoubtedly lies in the fact that
it Is the last and most authoritative popu-
lar verdict on the temperance question.
at is beyond dispute that the oppon-
ents of strict prohibitory law will have
working majorities in both branches. In
other words, the people of Massachusetts
have once more. as they have always done
when the issue was presented to them
plainly and unembarrassed by partisan in.
huence-condemned the principle of pro.

the popular tribunal could not be asked.
The pressure Of national issues was to an
unusual degree taken off, while the ques:
ton of temperance, owing to recent events,
was vividly brought home 10 every mans
mind. This fact dispensed with the nec-'
essity of any special electioneering upon
either side of the question. The people
were as we'll informed as they could be,
and were determined once forall, to end
this source of chronic agitation to per.
manent settlement-a determination which
the Republican State Convention respect
cd and facilitated by allowing frec'courso
of action to every member of the dominant
party.
:" From this verdict, then, there can be
no appeal. 1t becomes the duty Of tho
next Legislature, at the first opportunity,
to so modify the present Prohibitory law
as to make it, a just ard ealutary and prae|
tical measure for the regulation Of the IL
quor traffic and the suppression of the
evils of intemperance. Surely, no man
in his senses can imagine that the people
of Massachusetts, have decided in favor Of
anything like "free RUM" .,
&c 1t now remains for the Legislature Of
1870 to dispel all these apprehehsions, to
end the interminable sec-saw between the
two policies which has go long cursed the
State, and to provide some common ground
of action for all those citizens--an over.
whelming majority of the people Of this
G Commonwealth-who have at heart the
true interests Of temperance {" we'll 81

broached completely, breaking as if a
