TEMPERANC E LEGISLATION.

There is no doubt that the temper
ance people of Wisconsin will appeal
TO the legislature during its present
session for the adoption of a joint
resolution embodying proposition to
amend the constitution so as to pro-
hibit the traffic IN Intoxicating drinks.
We are of the opinion that though
there mly be very general demand
for the submission of this question to
a vote of the people, proposed con-
stitutional amendment of this kind
will not be ratified until there shall
have been IA decided change in public
sentiment, and our opinion is based
upon the failure of the people to avail
themselves Of the liquor laws already
upon their statute books. The TEN.
perance people of Milwaukee have
been making an especial effort to en-
force the license law as it now exists,
and thus far without success, because
they have not been seconded in their
efforts by public sentiment we be
lieve our Maiden Rock friends have
have had a similar experience and
what is true of Maiden Rock and
Milwaukee is true of most other To-
calities. If our temperance friends
conclude to push this matter we trust
that they will not subject themselves
to rldicule 10y accepting the resolution
us it passed the Assembly last winter
excepting from its provisions "native
wine and beer" Without any eXpe-
rience in this matter we should say
that Milwaukee beer is just rs delete
rious in its effects as that manufac'
tuTed in Chicago.

that our brief item ON complying

personal attack on the rights and
liberties of the Big River correspOn-
dent. Honestly, we never intended to
insinuate that the gentleman was a
lineal descendant of the animal made
historic by the parable of the prodi-
gal son, but as he seems anxious to
parade his pedigree before the public,
we'll not join issue with him on so
important a subject, but willingly con-
cede that he is the best judge of his
own family matters.

A NUMBER of newspapers are demand
ing repeal of the Kerosene oil law
requiring certain test, alleging that
under the law an inferior grade of oil
is furnished at an increased price, the
increase in price going to still further
enrich the oil monopolists. This mat
ter will probably receive some atten-
ton, but us the law secures official po-
sltion for quite number of office
holders it will be something of an
effort that will secure its repeal. We
believe the State Board of Health en-
gineered the present law through the
legislature, but whether the Board
was encouraged in its work by the oil
men we do not know.
