Test Issues Liquor Prohibition and Lii
censing-Sa and Sentimentalism.

At Black River Falls where for
some years mo License" had pre-
vailed, the people carried a "License"
ticket the other day by some fifty
majority--it being wisely held that
it were better for two or three sa>
looms To deal out the stuff openly and
paying a license therefor than to
tolerate a dozen holes in the wall,
the decenter classes patronising the
drug stores for poorer class of liz
uors than are kept at the doggeries.
Also, at Plattevllle the License"
ticket was largely successfully on
Monday of last week.
Especially the election at Black
River shows unfavorably for the prc-
hibition experiment, where for years
the public mind was quite on the
side of that policy.
We are still of the firm belief that
a strict regulating of the traffic, and
putting the business in the hands of
first class men for sobriety and moral
uprightncss, would insure the best
that can be made out of this anoma-
lous business. We believe that the
practice of encouraging only the
worst men to be competitors for
this business and of discouraging the
best men from selling liquor has been
TO encourage excesses and nuns
bers of drinkers, to double the crimes
and the oaInn1n, 1e
The liquor seller should be better
man than the merchant. Tne latter
may only rob the pocket, but the
liquor seller may rob man of his
purse, his health, his reason, his life.
Why the devil keeps his fire work 5
in some obscure part, and why he
exists unseen with neither character
nor morals, is, that he can thereby
do larger business. And were hell
placarded, and advertised, and kept
with open doors-licensed if you
| please, and every way made public
institution SO that people could go
and look in upon the damned, Satan
would have to call on Gen. Grant for
an army TO drive men into that in
| fernal hole But in darkness quar-
tered, draped in mystery and sub
lime with terrors, curiosity intoxica>
ted man can not master his own will
to enter. He goes in among the
damned, half the pious world helps

dark, sublime and unknown mysterr

Sin is of such hideous mien
That 1t needs but 10 be seen

AID FOR RELIGIOUS SoCIETIEs.-An
able writer in the State Journal,
signing I'D" probably Mr.. G. X. Dean
Of Boscobel. justly protests the prac-
tice Of donating from the State treas
ury by order of the Legislature any
money whatever to these small reli-
gious institutions starting up in all
parts of the country, ostensibly as
orphans homes and schools, &c, but
really as homes for small priests, old
maids and idlers-these schools and
asylums of the most bigoted sectarian
cast. There are eight such pets in
Milwaukee, one receiving 81, 900 and
the rest each $500. We hope the
next Legislature will have the back
bone to vote against pensioning the
like. In Europe the State supports
these hot houses ofbigotry and super
stition dark as Egypt, but in this
country sectarian Institutions of all
kinds should be supper cd if at all

ST. PATRIcK's DAY.-St Patrick
was not an Irishman, though man
wonderfully beloved by all that peo>
pie. Very many miraculous deeds
were credited to Patrick, but of
course such credits were bogus. In
his day the world was ignorant and
therefore supustitions, believing in
witchcraft, spirits abroad and mira
culous deeds by living pretenders
St Patrick was a great, good man
and was devoted to the welfare of
the Irish people. Therefore. all PEG
Pile as well as Irishman should ven-
crate his name and share in the pro-
per observance of st. Patrick's Day,
which comes on Wednesday of this
week.
