The working Of the license law in Massa-
chusetts does not seem TO be very satiSfsc-
tory Governor Andrew, in 1867, laid sps-
cial stress upon the fact that many persons
desired TO use liquors with their meals, and
he thought II a great hardship to forbid inn
holders and yictuallers to sell liquors to their
guests. Acting upon this argument, the
Legislature of 1875, in enscting a license
law, gave to innholders and victuallers the
right to sell liquors to be drunk on their
premises, and withheld il from all others
The result has been great increase in the
number of ,ictuallers In nineteen cities of
the commonwealth there were granted in
1874 FIVE hundred and forty-three licenses 10
yictuallers In 1875, in the same cities.
twenty-five hundred and fifty victuallers
licenses were granted. All that is required
is that the proprietor of grog-shop shall
Dot in few tables and have some crack
ers and pes around for show He can then
get yictuallers' license and proceed with
his rum business a. before. These facts
are familiar to every Bostonian who has
looked into the matter but the papers
which were 50 ready TO talk OF the '' farce
OF prohibition have not q word to saJ
of this broad buriesaue.
