AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Like the people of other states the
people of Ohio at the present time are
considerably agitated over the question
of high license for liquor solsons. At
the last session Of the Ohio legislature
a measure called the Scott license law
was passed, fixing the rate Of license
for the selling of beer and whisky at
minimum Of 5000. This was
deemed a gross outrage by the Ohio
democracy as it insisted it was
oppressive upon those who were en-
gagged in the selling Of beer and
whisky, and further, that it was
unconstitutional because the legislature
had no right to pass any license law
whatever.
When the republican convention
met few days ago, it did not directly
approve of the Scott law, because it
was then pending in the supreme
court, but it did approve of taxation
on the liquor traffic to suppress the
evils of intemperance The demo
cratic convention, which has since
met, took the sturdy ground that the
liquor dealer could not be taxed any
more than any other trader. So the
issue was definitely made up-high
Gceuse VS.. low license. And now the
supreme court of Ohio, at this critical
juncture, renders decision that the
Scott law is constitutional, and it
therefore follows that, even if the
legislature proposes $500 license tax,
it will be sustained by the court.
This, at the present time is really
great decision as it will immensely adj
vance the cause of high license every
where. And the issue to be fought in
the Buckeye State and decided in
October is, whether the evils Of the
liquor traffic can not be repressed
by stringent measures, not of pro-
hibition but of high license.
Ohio is great state, not merely
because of its large population, but
because of the intelligence of its
people. It's October vote has pre-
viously determined a presidential ell
ection, and decided republican
triumph in Ohio on the issue now
made up, will introduce the republic
ans in 1884 to 60 into national
convention with a determination that
some national effort should be made to
promote the cause # temperance and
good order from the ST. Lawrence to
the Rio Grande and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific
Heretofore the temperance strength
has been frlttered away by piece-meal
measures. In some states the feeling
run toward prohibition, in others
toward local options, and in others
toward higher license Let all the
states be consolidated In one resolution
that there shall not be a whisky or
beer shop in all our broad land which
does not pay license to the state of
$500 per annum, and if that resolu-
ton be carried in to the laws of all the
states, one-half the evils of in
temperance will be abated IN our
goodly country. and the diminution of
pauperism, crime, and local taxation
will soon be so obvious to everyone
that we do not think the people will
ever recede from their determination
to diminish the liquor traffic in any
way consistent with law and the rights
of personal liberty. Daily Evening

The Legal Tenders.

The legal tender case which will come
before the supreme court of the United
States at the present term is not brought,
as we understand it, upon the original
legal tender acts, those of 1862 and 1868,
but upon the act of 1878 authorizing the
reissue of legal tender notes which had
been redeemed. The act of 1875, provid-
ing for the resumption of specie payments
January /, 1879, directed the secretary of
the treasury to call in the legal tenders in
a certain ratio to the increase Of the bank
note circulation which was authorized by
the same act, till the amount of outstand-
ing legal tenders had been reduced to
$500. 100000. By the initiation legisla-
ton of 1878 this requirement was re-
pealed, redemption was arrested and the
secretary was directed to reissue the notes
which had been redeemed, limiting, how
ever, to fixed amount the total volume
of the greenback circulation. A debtor
in one of the states rendered to creditor
in another state reissued notes in payment
of debt. These the creditor refused TO
receive on the ground that reissue of
the notes was equivalent to an original
issue, and that in 1873 the conditions
which justified the act of 1862 and 1868
did not exist. 1t was, therefore, claimed
that the act of 1878 was unconstitutional.
The case came before the circuit court
and formal decision in favor of the con-
stitutionality of the act authorizing the
reissue of the law was made. The ques'
ton Of the constitutionality of the original
acts has been twice before the court. On
the first trial of the case the decision was
adverse to the acts. An emergency In
which the fate of the Nation was at stake
in the opinion of the court did not war
rant resort to measure 80 clearly out
side of the constitutional powers of con
gress. Two members were added to tn,

Massachusetts, has arisen and shaken herself,
and shaken off the biggest louise that ever in

years plurality Of IL 947 is changed to a re-

towns to hear from, twelve of which we're re-

The Elections.

True to its promise, THE WATCHMAN
this week gives its readers the particulars
of Buffers defeat. They are few but en-
phatic. The hero of Tewksbury is buried
under majority that may exceed $4,000.
The result is particularly gratifying to
Massachusetts, and to the country at large.
Some of the most devout, if not the most
demonstrative, among those who do not
mourn on this occasion are themselves
democrats, who, besides entertaining an
honest contempt for demagogue who
has been masquerading in the livery of
every political party for the last twenty
five years, are also gratifed that very
disagreeable and very troublesome factor
has been eliminated from the approach
ing national canvass. The republican
national party could have endured his
success rather better than the national
democrats. He has gone down with his
colors nailed to the mast. Without a
press to support him and with such odds
arrayed against him, it is but just to say
that there are very few men, if indeed
there is another man, who single-handed
could have put his enemies to such ire
mendous strain. The returns from New
York indicate that the republican candi-
date for secretary of state is elected, but
that the remainder of the democratic
state ticket is chosen by majority which
is stated at from 10000 to $4,000. The
legislature is reported republican on joint
ballot. The senate is strongly republi-
can, and full returns, it is expected, will
surely put the assembly in harmony with
the upper branch. Mayor Lows election
in Brooklyn is reported. The tidal wave
has receded and next year, when there
shall be enough at stake to call republi-
cans out, New York will not be a doubt
full state Connecticut elects legisla.
ture that is strongly republican, and the
vote for an off year shows marked repub-
lican gains. The tidal wave has also re-
coded in Pennsylvania. The republicans
are victorious by majority that is re-
ported at 10000. New Jersey and Mary
land have probably gone democratic, as
usual, but by greatly reduced majorities.
There is no definite intelligence from
Virginia. The result, throughout the
whole field, is by no means unsatisfactory
to the republicans.

1T is difficult to compel men to OBJ
serve those social or civil amenities which
should proceed from honorable, humane
or generous instincts. 1t is not surpris-
ing that the South and many sections of
the North rebelled against an attempt to
regulate by law the social status of the
colored people. A man might voluntarily
sit with negro at the table, or by his side
in a railway car, or in theater, who
would resent the attempt of the law to COM
pei him to do so. The social treatment
of the negro must now rest where it is un-
questionably safe and certainly right to
place it, with that magnanimity and sense
of Justice which the strong in a civilized
country should feel for the weak. The
Atlanta Constitution says on this subject :
"The grand opportunity is now afforded
the South to show that she is as magnani-
nous as she proved herself to be coura-
geous. She will demonstrate that, while
she could never have been driven by
duress into doing what was clearly wrong,
the removal of restraint will not tempt
her into doing anything which is less
than right" Senator Brown of Georgia
says: "My policy, under the altered con-
dition of things made by the civil rights
decisions, will be to be more careful than
ever that colored men shall have full
rights upon trains" The negro has his
part and very essential one, in de-
termining his social standing and his treat
ment by and in public institutions. He is a
man and citizen and in proportion as he
appreciates and profits by these great
facts in such proportion will prejudice
against the color of his skin abate.

LAST Thursday General Sherman retired
from the command OF the army, and Lieuten-
ant General Philip ii. Sheridan succeeded TO
the command. General Sherman has not yet
arrived at the age at which retirement is com.
pulsory, but he prefers to anticipate the time
by a few months, His successor Is fifty-two
years old, and II he should live so long, he will
retain the command for more than eleven
years General Sherman entered the army in
1910, and when he resigned. after thirteen
years of service, he had attained the rank of
captain. He returned TO the army In 1861, and
within four years after he was lieutenant
general. Sheridan, in 1861, had been eight
years in the army, and was a second lieutenant,
and within four years WAS msjor-general
General Sheridan Is said to be the youngest
general officer In the army except General
Mckenzie.
