notable gathering OF temperance men prohIbtionists
and liquorsellers In the Assembly Chamber to-
night. The Committee on Excise OF the Az
semby gave hearing the High License bill
OF the Church Temperance Society. The Rev.
DIR. Howard Crosby made the opening address He said
that the large number of liquorsores in the cities.

those places Threeourths OF the Inmates OF The poor
houses prisons and pententiares from the
quOr-stores The haunts OF the burglars and thieves
were Invariably IN low drinking places. For these rea-
aud for many more bill had been drawn to re-
strict the sale OF lquors The who favored the bill
not opposed to Dqpor-sellng liquor drinking,
but they thought both practices ought
be restricted They were opposed to prohibition be-
they did think that 1t could be enforced The
best TO lessen liquor selling and liquor drinking IN
their opinion. would be pass high license such
law, they believed, would diminish the number Of
liquor stores The bill had been drawn also to
the sale Of the less damaging liquors The
licenses had been put low and those for distilled liquors
high BY making q wide difference between the tw
classes Of licenses. the sale OF malt liquors would be
encouraged and that Of distilled discouraged.

points OF the High License bill and explained the object

in that way to suppress liquor selling. He
