Liquor faxes.

The essential features OF the Illinois ia K
law are:
|. A minimum tax of $500 on every
saloon for selling all kinds OF liquor and
minimum tax OF S150 or 5000 tor beer
alone but each locality to have the power
10 make the tax as much higher as it
pleases.
2. Local option" That is giving to
every community in the State the author
ity to prohibit the sale of liquor within its
own limits-ifit wants to.
3. The imposition of fines and penal
ties for the sale of intoxicants to habitual
drunkards and to minors.
The Michigan law is about the same
with the exception that the State tax,
$500, and each locality adds as much as
it chooses OF prohibits. The law III West
Virginia Is the same. In Wisconsin they
are agitating l,ig license similar to that
of Missouri. The Chicago Tribune says
"Wherever high whisky tax law has
been tried it has found favor and support.
The Illinois $500 law is growing stIonger
every day in the confidence OF the people.
In scores of places where there is a strong
temperance sentiment the tax is mnch
higher than the State minimum OF $500,
and ranges from that up to 81, 200, the
effect being 10 greatly reduce the number
of dram shops and improve their charac-
ter, making the survivors quiet and order
ly. The brief period of the Scott law in
Ohio reduced the number of 81 looms in the
State by 5000 and wiped ont OF existence
many OF the low dives and crossroad grog
| shops; now that II has been set aside by a
| p"ftisan Supreme Court, TO accommodate
a foolih party pledge, the worst kind OF
dogseries are springins up all over the
State-cheap nasty and irresponsible
drunkard factories The Illinois law has
abolished 1000 saloonS in the State, re-
dnced drunkenness and crime. and II
yields fully four millions OF dollars TO the
various municipalities, beginning with
Chicago, where the revenue derived from
the tax is 81, 10000 year.

The ravages Of intempcrance have been
so great in the United Stotos, prostrating
40 many noble enterprises and blasting so

its object the temporal and spiritual well

conflict, all party lines ought TO be efftced
and the temperance army ought not to
waste any powder IN shooting down its

the other saints upon the Republicans was
wholly uncalled for. The very best war
rinrs, those men and women who have
done some of the hardest fighting in the

There are fewer daily papers in London
now than there were generation ago, and
II is the same process of the extinction of
the weakest that seems to be going on in
New York. But the great London dailies
have made themselves strong, not by cheap
prices, but by good work. The mistake
tina, has been made in this country, in the
active competition among the too numer.

papers away instead OF making them 80

A brakeman named Charles Van was badly
injured near Wedron, on the Burlington, last
Monday evening. He fell from the tender of
the engine, and received deep wound on the
top of the skull. The pain rendered him so
violent that it required half dozen men to
hold him. The skull is fractured, but the
company surgeon, DR.. Hard, found, upon ex.
animation, that there was no depression. He
remained unconscious for fully six hours after
the accident, at the Clifton, where he was
conveyed. Van had been on the road but a
week, and had for some time worked on the
division Of the Illinois Central between Amboy
and Clinton.
