which ta7ors snd fosters Ubiquitous mo-

tion is as follows. While we do not
propose 10 interfere with the just laws
Of Illinois for the regulation OF traffic in
intoxicating liquors, and e~oncsding the
right OF The people to an amendment, il
necessary, Of such laws to prevent or cor
rect the evils to society growing out of
abuses in the use Of intoxicating liquors,
!: is NOT the legitimate province OF the
Government 20 control the habits, tastes,
apPetites and liberties Of the people so
long as they are peacsable and or

rights Of others and Of society, and we
therefore declare that prohibition by a
constitutional amendment, or by general
laws relating TO the manufacture or sale
Of yinous, spurious or malt liquors, would
be in violation Of individual and personal
rights and contrary TO the fundamental
principles Of a free government.

three Of them.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The Post OF to-

Of the trial to corrupt jurors, and that he
had bsen approached twice by parties
with whom he was unacquainted on behalf
Of the defense. Foreman Dickson was
ssen, bat he could add no particulars. On
his fingers he counted up foul jurors who
had been %corruptly approached. but would
no. name them. In q little while he would
be in q position to tell all he knew, as
there certainly would be an investigation.
The Judge knew the ian Of one mar

to the verdict.

again.
