THE ALL-ABsoRBINa TorfC in our town
at present is the temperance, or to speak
more properly, the Local Option question.
The opponents Of the law, who may I've d.
vided into two distinct classes, viz: those
who regard it as having failed in its prom
ises and those who are personally interested,
have sent petition for its repeal, to the
Maryland Legislature the supporters of I'll G
law, or to speak more correctly, the friends
of the measure, claim that there have been
open and fragrant violations Of the law and
will bring the matter before the coming
court.
1t is claimed by some with whom we have
conversed upon the subject, that the "wine
and cider exception" does not permit the re-
failing of wine or cider, that has been bought
for resale whether or not this point will be
tested, we have not been informed, but if it
is not it is none the less the fact that on
"wine and cider" one can get incontroverti-
bly, inebriated by getting outside of the reg
ulation quantity of "pine top" allowing pos.
sibly slight margin in favor of the latter.
We cannot but be gratded to know, that
this same Local Option Law is to be put up
on it's merits if its inherent weakness as q
Law, is such that it may be circumvented to
such an extent that it becomes Farce, we
should know it; if it contains the elements
of strength to wipe out intemperance,
whether brought about by whisky, wine, or
cider, it matters not; when man is drunk,
he is drunk) again should we know and
realize it. The question is being thorough
ly discussed by our people and one may hear
as many different opinions as he may talk
with people, on the subject 1t may unques-
tionably be mentioned now as the one great
local disturbance In the moral atmosphere,
from which, as in nature, may be predicted
storms, sudden changes in the wind and a
decided fall in the market value of opinions
after the legal cyclone leaves its mark upon
those who have been unfortunate enough to
misjudgc its track
