amendment. To- the constitution Of that State, as
follows:
lst. The General Assembly shall regulate the

against evils resulting therefrom aud its power
TO levy taxes or assessments thereon Is not limited
By any provision Of this constitution.
ID. The manufacture Of and the traffic in in-
toxicaiing liquors to be used as beverage are
forever prohibited, aud the General Assembly
shall provide by law for the enforcement Of this
provision.
Il will be seen that prohibition aud license are
thus distinctly set before the voters, and they will
have aa opportunity to say (which of the two they
prefer. OF course this matter will have very
disturbing effect upon the local politics Of that
very large and influential State. But temperance
people lose sight Of that fact in their great anx'
