they are busily engaged in inventing ways to eyade
It, and their first step is TO sdeelare t nnconstitu-
tional upon the ground that under the Constitution
taxes must be uniforms as to the class, and consc-
quently that the Legislature coald not discriminate
by fixing the license of spirtuous liquors at one
price and that OF malt liquors at another. The
bill passed the Senate yesterday, Tho vote standing
30 TO 20. one Democrat voting for the bill and one
Republican voting against it. Ii was sent immedi-
ately to the Governor who signed il and returned it
TO the Senate within an hour. II has. therefore,
become law and will go into effect on July i.
Only one Democrat voted for the bill in tho House,
yet notwithstanding the menace OF the Democratic
leaders 1T will not be made political issue Az the
meeting of the Democratic Central Committee on
Thursday the matter was discussed, but reports
from the rural districts were not favorable There
has been some talk OF running Carter Harrison for
Governor on low-license ticket. Should it ever be
done he wond be defeated by over 100000 major

Southern Illinois arc strongly bieh-license.
A holder scheme has been concocted in the
Common Council intended TO defraud the city out
Of at least million dollars OF revenue by amending
the Municipal Code so as to make tha year for bar
roou licenses expire on the last day Of May of each
year instead Of the last day OF June, which Will
give the liquor.shop keepers chance TO run year
longer on the present license OF $lO3. An ordinance
to this effect was presented at the last meeting OF
the Council and after long discussion WAS referred
to she License Committee. which since that time
has agreed to report 1t at the meeting on Moaday
next when bitter 6ght may be expected.
