HIGH TAX IN MICHIGAN.
A Law That Is Relied On to Prohibit Fro

Only Effective Argument.
IIottar from Waxland Mich

A Law That Is Relied On to Prohibit Fro
hibition-It Gives Liquor Dealers Their
Only Effective Argument.
Letter from Wayland, Mich.l
The county local option contests in this
State are bringing home to every honest
temperance man the truth that the high
license or (as it is called here) the high tax
system is the only etfectual means of pro-
hibiting prohibition in the present temper
of the people of Michigan. The tax upon
saloons is high-$5O0 o year-the restric-
trictions are as severe as under any license
law; and these conditions afford the only
excuse of men not friends of the saloon
for voting In favor of continuing the Nfaf-
6c. The fact that the counties are giving
majorities for prohibition, nevertheless, is
only an evidence that prohibition senti-
ment is fixed and immovable in the face
of the most persuasive argument that pro-
hibition voters have to meet. If the high
tax law did not exist, nothing but such
ballot-box frauds as were committed last
spring could save the liquor traffic in any
county Of Michigan.
Here is the argument that is everywhere
being used with most effect to defeat pro-
hibition in Michigan. These words are
taken from liquor dealers circular, pre-
pared at the direction Of liquor dealers
conference held at Three Rivers, in st.
Joseph County.
"Ihe act of 1887 for the taxation and
regulation of the liquor business throws
around the interests OF the people more
safeguards than any other known liquor
law. 1t is high license act which imposes
the severest restrictions on the traffic.
There is no hole in that law. Its enforce
ment is perfectly easy.
"Under this act the tax on the saloon
business in this county in 1883 would be
$4,000.
"One-half of this goes to the villages
where the business is carried on, the other
half to the general county fund"
The high tax law Of Michigan, in its ap-
plication, is the same rumsellers' protective
measure that it was in its origin. D. Be-
thune Dufield, the liquor lawyer, framed
it for the scarcely concealed purpose OF
making prohibition imp ossible in Michigan.
This law was the strong right arm of the
liquor power in the recent fight for consti
tutional prohibition, and every one remem-
bers Miss Wizards words after the April
defeat, that the amendment "died of high
| license"
High tax in Michigan has no effect what
ever to restrict the sale of liquor. While it
is admitted that the sale of liquor is pre-
vented in many places where it would be
sold but for the restrictive features of the
law, it is clearly seen that not the high tax
works this restriction, but the high bonds.
Every liquor dealer, before he can procure
license, must give bonds in from $4,000
to $4,000, with two qualified bondsmen
who live in the corporation where the liquo
| is to be sold.

Mrs. Surratt,

conspirators were fed on army ratidns,
but she was allowed to choose what
she wished from the general table.
Mrs. Surratt was small, plump, pref
ty brunette, with flashing dark eyes
and will like steel. remember
one incident of her Imprisonment which
Will give you some idea of her strength
Of mind. You will remember that a
part of the old District penitentiary
had been rugged up as court house,
while the other part was used as mil
itary prison. Well, after Mrs. Surratt
and her daughter, charming girl of
sixteen years, had been separated for
three months, they were allowed an
interview. which was to last two hours.
Miss Surratt came to the prison in the
afternoon, and I conducted her to a
room adjoining the court room, where
Mrs. Surratt was writing. The girl
lust went over and sat down on her
mothers lap and began to cry. 1 went
away then. didn't want to stay, and
did not go near them again until some
time after the two hours were up.
When I took the girl away she was
still crying. but I noticed that Mrs.
Surratt did not shed tear. I won
dered at that.
"The girl cried all the way home to
the Catholic institution where she lived,
and you can believe it made me feel
badly. When I returned I spoke to
General Hartranft and mentioned what
seemed to me the almost heartlessness
of Mrs. Surratt. Then the General
told me that the little girl had scarcely
left the prison when Mrs. Surratt
threw herself down in commissions of
such grief as he had never dreamed of
before. It seems hard to imagine the
struggle that woman must have un-
dereone to control herself through
that long interview. Afterward the
intercourse between mother and daugh-
tew was almost entirely unrestralned.
Their freedom was so great that 1
think now the administration would
have been neither sorry nor surprised
if the little girl had carried in enough
morphine to have saved them the
trouble of executing her mother.
",rhere are few people who know how
nearly Mrs. Surratt came to reprleve,
followed by Communication of sentence.
There was strong sentiment in her
favor. aud I think some doubt as to the
degree of her guilt. ! viii! never be-
lieye that she was privy to Lincolns
murder. She approved, think, OF his
proposed abduction, but never OF his
assassination. We all thought she
would be reprieved. Two days before
The execution General Hancock came

ments he would relate his large expe-
rience as q soldier in the Black Hawk
war of 1882, and as an officer in the
Mormon war at Nauvoo, in 1916.
Nevertheless, during the progress of
the civil war he evinced quick com.
prehension of the principles of the
art though never using military
phraseology. Thus his letter of April
~, 1862, to General Me- lellan, then
besieging Yorktown. exhibits precise
knowledge OF the strength and purpose
of each of the many armies in the
neld, and of the Importance Of CON
centric action In his letter of June
5, 1863, to General Hooker, he wrote !:

"This is pure science, though the
language is not technical.
1T is related by General Grant in
his memoirs that when he was explain
ing how he proposed to use the sew
eral scattered armies so as to accom-
plish the best results, referring to the
forces in Western Virginia, and saying
that he had ordered Sigel to move up
the valley of Virginia from Winchester,
make junction with Crook and Avereu
from Kanawha, and go towards Salt
vile or Lynchburg-Mr. Lincoln said,
ooh, yes! see that. As we say out
West, if man can't skin, he must
hold leg while somebody else does.
"In his personal interview W tn Cen
eral Grant about March 6, 1864, Mr..
Lincoln recounted truly and manfully
that

ploded in the immediate vicinity of

yelled:
