FAILURE OF THE POND LIQUOR
LAW.

In declaring the Pond liquor law IN
constitutional the supreme court of Ohio
has found itself constrained to set aside
one of the most practical temperance
measures ever devised-in that state. The
Pond law assessed a graded tax on
saloon keepers from 800 10 $500 year,
and imposed certain obligations under
bond which were important to the inter
ests of good order and the suppression
Of the sale of liquor to minors. a SINH
lar law in Michigan has served to reduce
materially the number of saloons, the
extent OF drunkenness, and the pernici-
Gus results of saIoolA influences. The
Pond law would have provided the
Ohio cities with large revenue, and al
the same time would have served as an
auxiliary police regulation. There was
reason to expect the most gratifying re-
suits from it, operation.
The decision Of the supreme court
denying The cOnstituiionality of this
law is TO he regretted, hut il cannot
be condemned fairly. The con.
siitulion Of the state provides
thai 'sno license in Intoxicating liquors
shall be granted in this state.'' The su.
preme court has held that the Pond law
is nothing more nor less than license
law. and il would he extremely difficult
TO divest il of that character. 1t is un-
donbiedly law which grants a priv
lege or license in consideration of GER
tain tax and other obligations assumed
by the saloon keepers. To that extent
il is violation of the letter nf the con-
stitution, and thus fails.
In view of the position taken by the
supreme court, it is evident that the
Republicans proceeded too hastily in
adopting the Pond law. They should
undoubtedly have followed the course
suggested by the last state convention of
the RepuDlicans-viz to submit To the
people the whole question of regulating
the liquor traffic. A constitutional
amendment was introduced into the
Legislature with this view, placing
the control Of the liquor bus
mess, whftheF f,r taxation, regula-
ton or suppression, in the hands of
the legislature; but this proposed amend
ment was set aside to make room for the
Pond bill. The intent of the Pond
bill is all right: the trouble is, thai in
view of the prohibition clause in the
constitution, the legislature had not the
authority TO adopt it, and should have
first asked this authority from the peo-
Pile. This is the course that will now be
taken in all probability, but in the
meantime delay of several years bias
been interposed in the final settlement
of a vexatious question.
II seems to be widely believed that the
passage of the Pond law has arrayed the
liquor interests against the Republicans
while It's failure in the courts will rem
Ger the temperance classes lukewarm in
the coming campaign. That is the Dem
Ocratic view of the situation. II is prob
able that the masses will take a more in
telhgeut view OF the matter, and credit
the Republican party with the honest
effort to secure an effective temperance
measure at the earliest date possible,and
will sustain it in such course.

ASeriOus Collision Between the Unio1
and Non-Union TroD TVo-I,a-s

A Serious Collision Between the Union
and Non-UniOn Iron Workers.
CHICAGO, June 2-The Joliet iron
and steel works had a gang of twenty
non-union men some of them coIored,
unloading iron ore at the docks in this
city at the place of work last evening
They got in on board the Chicago 81 Al
ton train TO GO to Joliet. When the
train stopped at Pan Handle cross
ing, five or six miles out a
gang of fifty striking iron workers and
their friends, mostly young fellows, sur
rounded the train, and four or FIVE
jumped upon the engine and presenting
revoivers at the heads of the fireman and
engineer, prevented them from starting
the train again. In the mean time an
other detachment entered the train
| and pulled out all the work
men they could recognize, including
| half d dozen coloTed men and one white
man. The remainder of the crowd on
| the outside took them, beat, kicked and
stamped on them, iniuring them severe
ly. Many stones were thrown in the
| melee, and twenty-five or thirty shots
were free, one of which took effect in the
groin of Judge Pillsbury, of the
Illinois appellate cnTt<e, infiicting
wound which it is feared will prove
fatal. The rioters, after beating tie ne
grOes 20 their hearts content. dispersed,
emprying the chambers of their revolv-
ers. No arrests. Judge Pillsbury was
brought hack to the city. The wounded
worknien were taken on to Joliet.
