1t is very generally conceded that
the liquor traffic cannot be suppress
ed by legislation or taxation. The
action OF our State Legislature last
winter gives faint index of the
public feeling upon this subject,
and | have come to the conclusion
that it is much more easy to enforce
a moderate law, and to secure con-
victions under it, than one so rigid
as to make martyrs of those whom
1t is intended to punish.
l therefore recommend that the
license for saloons be put at SIS for
retail, and no wholesale license be
granted unless it be included in the
so license, as wholesale license is
usually taken out at lower price
and is abused, to the detriment eff
those who pay full price.

WASHINGTON, July 3O-It generally supposed
at the adjournment of Congress that all laws giving
1noieties TO nformers had been repealed. This how
ever seems not to have been the case. as an exam-
nation of the law repeating moieties shows that 1T
relates exclusively to those derived from violation
of the customs revenue laws, and does not include
the P6t-Oflice. That section of the Postal code
which provides for the distribution to nformers OF
one-haf the fines which accrue from the violation
of the Postal laws is still in force. and adds
large sums to the peTquisites OF SPECIAL agents

not in accordance with the sprt Of the act granting

be imposed ON vioators of postal laws brought to
instice through their efforts Many thousands OF
dollars of such moietes are paid direct to these
specia agents by the clerks of courts by orders OF
the Judges previous to the deposit of the remaining
