and crime are such that In all

statesmen and wisest jurists. In this respect
it is without a parallel among the articles
which are made merchandise of. 1t stands
alone; and no reasoning based upon the

drawn from the dealings OF governments

In dealing with this.
The liquor traffic is and ought to be the
subject Of police regulation. 1t Is 30 con-
coded In Europe and the United States.
The courts have so held with uniformity.
And from this there will be little dissent
even among those engaged In the traffic.
What ought to be the measure OF restraint
Upon this point good men are not agreed.
Men who are in perfect accord OF the tariff
and on finance split upon this. And men
who are hostile to each other IN every point
of politics find themselves In perfect har-
mony on this vexed question. For these
reasons it is not and can not be q partisan
question. And for these reasons parties car
not decide satisfactorily upon the measure OF
restraint which ought to be imposed upon
this traffic. In view of this inability there
is but one tribunal to appeal to. That Is the
sovereign people. Thu evils of the traffic fall
upon then. If 1t has tears, 1t is upon
the hearthstones Of the people they fall
If it has blood; it is upon the doorposts OF
the people 1t is sprinkled; If it costs taxes, IL
is out of the peoples pockets they must be
paid; and these people who 1--we beside the

or an evil, are the ones who are most com.
petent to decide upon the measure OF
restraint that ought to be put upon it
and to them, in their capacity
as individuals, as fathers and brothers and
citizens, n not as partisans, it ought to be
relegated. For these reasons the question
ought to go to the people, so that they car
act upon it and decide it free from all par
tisan bias. And the resolution which asserts
this doctrine it worthy of all communication.

rTOm Inc DaBinhW deralu.
The Detroit Free Press tries to put a feather
in Mr.. Edward Kanter's cap by claiming that
''as a member Of the legislature Mr.. Kanter
was instrumental in ferreting out and expos
ing the huge defalcation of John Mckinney,
the Republican state treasurer of Michigan"
The Free Press is not a reliable historian.
Mr.. Kanter was in the legislature in 1857 OF
which this writer was chief clerk. He at
tempted to gain notoriety by attacking the
extravaganza of the Bingham administra-
ton, but the writer made a reply to this re-
port that squelched his facts and his future
political ambition for years. Mckinney was
elected treasurer in 1855, after Kanter's legis-
lative experience had terminated. His defal-
cation as state treasurer was exposed by
the writer in the jackson Citizen, in
resulted in the party dropping the entire
state administration, and nominating a new
ticket with ''our Blair" at the head. In the
senate of 1861, Senators Baldwin, Stout and
DeLand, as committee on finance, fully in
vestigated Mr.. McKinney's defalcation and
exposed it, as the records will show, and the
writer, as one of that committee, prepared
and offered the resolution in'open senate that
caused the trial, conviction and imprison-
ment Of John Mckinney for his crime. We
are not aware that any Democratic paper
ever applauded us for these acts, and do re-
collect that some of them abused us consid-
erably at the time for our illiberality and
''vindictive policy" Kanter had expired,
legislatively and politically, before any OF
these events TRANSFERRED. Edward is a good
fellow; we met him only a few days ago in
Detroit, and talked over the old legislative
days, and we know he is too decent and just
to try to rob us of any laurels won in the
Mckinney business, even at this late day.
