IL Is now the temperance mems turn. Tho
Legislature having refused TO give New York
city " new Excise law, tho announcement is
mado that tho act Of 1851 is to be enforced.
The societies for the suppression Of rum drink
lug havo been strengthening their stakes and
combining. ana they report themselves IA
ready for the ilIht. Tho Commissioners are
compelled undor the law in force TO grant
licenses to Keepers Of hotels. inns. and tavcrns
only. II is easy TO cyalo this provision. Some
liquor sellers havo put up toy bcdstcads back OF
their lars. for the act unfortunately docs not
spociy'thc si1e OF the three beds that the house
must contain. But by many OF them no atten-
ton has been paid either to getting license or
turning saloons into the sombancc Of an inn.
Against these tho temperance mon have de-
carel war. The authorities have no other
course than TO enforce tho law. That they
can enforce it was proved by Commissioner
ERuhnDT last December. and doubtless il will
be proved again. But in doing so there must
result no end Of complications and trouble, for
our excise affairs IRE terribly mud He'd. and tho
now questions that are to arise will make them
more 50. II may be seen ere many months how
grave n mistake the Legislature made in not
giving New York and Brooklyn good liquor
law.
