HIGH LICENSE IN NEW YORK.

A high license bill has been prepared for presentation to the New York assembly. It is of general application throughout the State. It provides for two classes of hcenses-Hquor licenses and beer licenses A liquor license would permit the sale on the licensed prem ises of strong and spirituous liquors, as well as wines, a1es and beer, and beer license would permit the sale of wines, ales and beer only. The fee for liquor license is put at no less than $500 nor more than $2, 900 per year: the fee for beer license at not less than $100 nor more than $400 per year. Boards of ex- else required to declare three grades of licenses for each class and fix a different fee for each grade within the minimum and max imum limits, the purpose being, so far as practicable, to proportion the rates to the business of establishments of different sizes These are the main features of the bill, aside from the sections which provide penalties for it's violation and change the date from which yearly licenses are to run to the beginning of October. The appointment of excise officers and their general powers and responsibilities are left unchanged, as are all the restrictive features of the present law.
 When this bill is discussed there will be lively times, for it will be warmly opposed. The New York Times sets forth the situation fairly when it says: That the community at large would be benefited by the adoption of this policy does not admit of doubt. Who would be injured by iti Only those makers and sellers of intoxicating liquors who desire to maintain and increase the profits of their business by promoting the consumption of their products, regardless of the terrible con sequences of intemperance. There can be little doubt that conscientious men of all parties, the great majority of citizens, ,Repub- licans and Democrats alike, would be glad to see system adopted which would restrain within narrower limits the sale of intoxicat- ing drinks and lessen the evils which every one knows to result from it. The opposition comes almost wholly from the liquor interest, and it owes it's influence in the legislature to the fact that it has come to exercise 8 con- siderable power in politics. It is power which uses the debasement of citizens to con trol their votes. It would be broken in moment if both parties would unite in legis lation for the defense of the highest interests of the commonwealth.

The most notable result of prohibition in Rhode Island, according to Governor Davis, is decrease in the income of the State treasury last year of $10O,oO0 and an in crease in the States running expenses for the same period, so that they exceed the receipts by $15, ,O00. This unfavorable financial show ing would not occasion so much criticism were it not for the fact that unlicensed tip bling goes on about freely as it did before prohibition was adopted.
