THE LICENSE QUESTION.

From the STATE Gdsette.
Sir--The readers of the Gazette, aud the
people of the State generally, are deeply
indebted to Hon. Courtandt Parker for
his mastery letter on this subject, which
you published last week. Every one Of
his suggestions is thoroughly sound and
practical and cannot be introduced in the
law of this State at too early date. To
lodge the power of granting license in he
Court of Common Pleas exclusively, max.
ing the signature of the Circuit Judge
essential to each license, would be an i'm
meuse advance towards iemedying some
of the worse evils of our present system.
TO allow, as we now do, this great aud
important trust to be exercised by the
Common Councils of our cities and bor-
oughs, constituted as those bodies almost
invariably are, aud are almost certain TO
be for very long in the future, or to per
nit the Lay Judges Of the Common Pleas
to override the intelligence and impair
tiality of the Circuit Judges, is to place
it in the hands OF Incompetent and unqual-
filed persons and to make its administra-
tion u sham.
Mr.. Parker, in this part of his letter,
speaks with the highest authority. His
FtCUuIueuudliOn IOf bn6 election OF Graiu
,Iures is equally admirable. Give us
these, with the high license. local option
bill now before the Legislature, aud the
temperance men Of our State will have
little more to ask for in the way of legis-
lation
Fix the cost OF license at figures which
will be prohibitory to the doggeries and
jug taverns give each county the right
to say by the votes of its people whether
any licenses at all shall be granted place
the licensing power with all the RESPONSE
bility which attends il in the hands of the
circnit judges, and we shall have placed
our State in the very front rank with re-
gard to the temperance reform, aud we
shall have removed this question. from
politics, into which 1t should never have
entered.
The present Legislature has magnif
cent opportunity to render the State great
and important service in these particulars.
1t has begun we'll. Let IL by all means
not he weary Ia well doing.

A busybody is an individual who goes
about stealing other peoples time, and
