 -YouEeotice in last week'sEnquirer that a. move wasmade tosbring before the people the. questieuo of license ia this town, gratified. me,
 though do not understand why the u,aiter has been so long delayed. The legislature
 has given us grand opportunity to remove the worst evil among US, and shall wes mot improve it ? Do the tax payers realize that the cost of Rum to this country is seven hundred millions of dollars each year, that one hun- dred thousand people die annually directly from it's effects that three e-fourths 'of all the 
 the cotton and corn crops are barely sufficient to pay our rum bills .%lSiiall we longer hesi tate to say, ''As for me and my house, we will stamp it out" We will put temptation out of the way of our sons and brothers, and make it possible for visitors to come to our beautiful town and to leave us as temperate as they came. Will we not say by our vote in October that no farther temptation shall be in the way of those whose appetites cannot be restrained in any other sways Although we may besable to restrain ourselves and though we may not Nsdffer" in our families from the | effects, that should be much stronger req son why we should do all in our power to re- move the curse from our neighbors of weaker wills. Do our good voters reallze how much more important it is that this evil should be suppressed than that political parties should be preserved? How many political offices will compensate you for drunken s6n or brother? But some say if you refuse license yop drive away summer visitors and injure our business If this is true, I say, let them go. I had much rather walk the streets with a sober son and reduced business, than to have my son visit the rum shops with profigate city visitors if there are such here. We have a | most delightful town, and no doubt many | wealthy families would establish themselves | here if the temptatioRs to their sons were re Suppose we try it one year Vote no license and put good temperance Dem- ocrats into the offices to execute the laws! I i say Democrats, because that party has now a large majority of the voters and would not | seek to do any thing which might appear to make political question of license. s !I

In our younger days there were vague sunsors that the moon was made of green cheese but we should not dare report it as a fact without con- sulting the Goshen astronomer. So it is true there have tcen rumors of two cases referred to by P. D. In the first place we think it. would have been more agreeable to the defen- dant and more gentlemany in the plaintiff had he kissed her, willing or filing. And in the second case tha6gh thefs has been music in the air, gDagon stands lfthe place built for him, minus some ofhis pipes, and the un--' terrified Mr. Buckingham still leads the choir in a manner acceptable to the public.
