HIGH LICENSE IN ILLINOIS.

The advocates of high license have very strong support in the workings of the system in Illinois. The license there is fixed, by what is known as the Harper law, at $500. In the city of Chicago this law has increased the revenue to the city from $200, ,000 to $1,- 800, 900, and reduced the saloons from 4900 to $500. In Hyde Park, suburb of Chica- go, though the population has increased the saloons have been reduced nearly one-half; while the income, and the consequent reduc- ton of taxation, has been multiplied tenfold. What is more significant is a reduction in the number of arrests from 1895 to 679 In Springfield, the capital of Illinois, the sa- looms have been reduced thirty-three per cent. in number, and the revenue from them has been increased 231 per cent. In Peoria the saloons have been reduced nearly one half; the revenue has been treb1ed. These are reports from the larger cities. In the smaller towns similar effects have been pro- duced. In some of them no licenses are granted, and prohibition is secured by local option. In nearly if not quite all the others the number of saloons has been somewhat reduced, the amount of revenue to the State largely increased and the amount of drunk enness and disorder notably diminished.
 The general result is shown by the facts that in the State at large the revenues of the State have been increased from S700,000 to over $4, 500, 900, the number of saloons has been reduced from 13, 900 to less than 5000, the best clements of both parties unite in supporting and enforcing the law, and disre- gard of it apparently finds little sanction from either the people or their natural repre- sentatives, the courts, the sheriffs and the juries. Moreover, in county after county, in the small villages, the high license has had the effect to close up all liquor shops.
 These very beneficial results of the high license law of Illinois are sufficient to show practical man that aanh. law be on forced. The high license system of course does not suit the prohibitionists, who do not see, as other people do, that it is not possible to enforce prohibitory law.
