GRAND MEADOW, MINI, Feb. "a, 1886.
Mr.. ED1TOR:-I am a reader of your
valuable paper. And have been much
interested in your editorials on tenn
perance. But l can't agree with ysu on
the license question. l think no good
temperance man, after taking a sober
second thought, would license any
man to sell alcoholic liquors in any
form. I think, If I am not mistaken,
you advocate putting the license in your
beautiful city at five hundred dollars,
AS though five hundred dollar whisky
was less dangerous than one hundred
dollar whisky. Now, suppose your city
fathers sell license for five hundred
dollars, what would be the object1 It
may fill your treasury with gold, and
many poor heart with anguish, but I
can't see that it lessons the sin, because
Of the high price paid for the privilege.
1t seems to me it is simply for the pur-
pos OF film your city Golfers. Now, on
the other hand, the man that buys a
license. does it to make money. by SELL
ing liquor to those who rob their wives
and children of the comforts of home,
and in many cases bread and clothing.
And your city fathers license him to do
it, for the paltry sum of five hundred
dollars. Oh, for shame. You become a
party to the sin, and accessory. Are you
less guilty than the man that sells the
cursed stuff? Now, by your city officials
granting license, they make the liquor
business as legal and honorable as any
ether. Five hundred dollars would
warm and clothe many who arc needy it
it were expended in that way. But in
stead, it prepares the way for more
poverty and heart-aches. That is the
price you pay, for the filthy lucre you re-
ceive from licenses. Stop and think, for
one moment: You license men to sell
whisky. You should license men to
drink 1t, so your man can make his
money, as that appears to be the object
of both city and seller; and if they get
drunk, and set fire to your town, and
burn it down, don't say one word, for
your city fathers licensed the man to sell
the stuff that made them do it.
But am sorry to say, this is not the way
you do. If poor unfortunate gets q
little too much Of the ''obejoyful," and
gets little too festive, he is arrested, put
in the lookup, and when it is convenient
he Is brought before your Hon. Police
Judge, and fined for dong Just what
your city fathers prepared for him to do.
Now, don't call the seller bad names
nor traduce or malign his character, when
our National and State Legislatures and
municipal corporations legalize the traf
f1c and make it lawful and honorable.
''Touch not. taste not, license not. handle
not, the cursed stuff, Is my motto.

The Washington correspondent Of the

reason why Secretary Of State Bayard
hates Andrew q Curtin, the old war
Governor Of Pennsylvania, but now .
Democratic member Of Congress from
that State Curtin while acting ~ gov
ernor OF nusylvanis, during the early
part Of the rebellion. heard from what be
considered . good source, that certain
Southern sympathizers In Delaware and
baltimore had laid plan 10 capture the

important po~der mandatory control
led by loyal interest. These works were
three miles from Wilmington. Governor
Curtin telegraphed what he had learned
10 the War Department. He was instruc-

be well founded to proceed with the State
troops under his command, with such
support as might be necessary, to defeat

sylvania troops TO guard tho powder
works, whose supplies were absolutely
necessary TO the salvation OF the army OF
the Potomac. This move OF the loyal
governor was bitterly resented by the
States. rights statesmen of Delaware.
Ii was made the occasion OF @ tremen-
dous states-right speech by Senator Jane,
A. Bayard, the father Of the present
Secretary Of State. IL was also the occa-
sion OF the celebrated Dover speech Of
Thomas +. Bayard which ,psech was one
of the causes Of his being defeated for the
minAtion at Chicago last year. Hi,
father, after he made the speech attack
ing Curtin for the invasion OF the sacred
soil OF Delaware, passed through Phila

that the name OF Curtin is hateful 10 Bay
