retained all that it could put its hands upon,

THE Republicans in both branches of the
New Jersey Legislature have agreed on
local-control and high-license bill, which has
been introduced and will doubtless pass. The
license fee is graduated follows: In town
ships, towns boroughs and cities whose popu-
lation does not exceed 5000 inhabitants, for
malt and spirituous liquors. fee of not less
than $780, in places having over 5000 and not
exceeding 10000 inhabitants not less than
$3.50, and in all places having a population
exceeding 10, 900 fee of not less than $3.50
No license shall be granted for longer than
Sunday, or sells to minors. or keeps disor-
derby house, or harbors games of chance, or
violates the laws of the State his license shall
be forfeited and he be disqualified from get
ting license for one year; for second offense
he shall never again receive license. When
one-tenth of the legal voters of any county
apply by petition to the Circuit Court Judge
in favor of vote as to whether license shall
issue or not, said judge shall order special
election to determine whether any intoxicat-
ing liquors shall be sold In said county. The
election shall not be held within sixty days
of any general election, and shall be distinct
from any other election and not less than
three months nor more than six months from
the order of the judge. The details of the
bill differ somewhat from those of similar bills
passed or pending in other States, but the
principle is the same. Public sentiment gem
orally throughout the country is settling
down on local control and high license as
furnishing the most practical, and, for the
present. the best attainable solution of the
Gnnoc question.
