There are one or two good points about
Mr.. Senator Morrill's bill for the an
pointment of commission on the sub.
ject OF the alcoholic liquor traffic. One
Is that the commissioners shall serve
without any salary. This takes all APP
pearaEce of a job out of the bill, though
we suppose that congress Will pay actual
expenses. Again, the commission is not
to be made up entirely of the advocates
OF prohibition or of total abstinence.
This will relieve the report, when
it shall be made, of all impu.
tation of fanaticism or sectarianism.
Again, an excellent provision is that the
work shall be completed within two
years. In the absence ofthis it might drag
its slow length along for quarter of a
century. What use it is proposed to
make of the fruits of the report, what
legislation is probably designed, we are
not informed, hor can we even coniec<
