The LIQUOR law OF Kentucky IS simply part Of its

with any other business. In fact, IL puts the LIQUOR
dealers business at an advantage over many honor

fee for an express company doing business in the
State Is $500 year
Contrast that requirement with the provisions Of
the LIQUOR License Tax law, which are as follows :
"Tho County Court shall not grant license to sell

VARIOUS STATES.
The second instalment Of the liquor laws OF
the States o. the Union is given to-day IL In
cludes the laws of Nebraska, Maine, Louisiana,
Kentucky and Michigan. In this selection nearly
all varieties of excise and temperance legislation
are represented.
The first publication of this series, made on
March 25. was accompanied, it will be remem-
bcrcd, by a statement in full Of the plan upon
which these laws and the opinions upon them
have been collected. Three Republicans, three
Democrats and three Prohibitionsts in each State.
who were supposed best to represent the general
sentiment Of their respective parties upon the
temperance question, as we'll the Governor,
were written TO, and their Judgment asked upon
the workings Of their State liquor laws. They
WIRE requested to send replies to three questions
which were in the following form:
Q) Does the liquor law of your State operate
to repress intempeance?
(2) Is it the best liquor law for that purpose
(3) II not what statutory changes should ne
made most effectually to accomplish that purpose
OF the replies received, amounting 10 about 200,
something like an equal number has come from
Republicans and PrChbtionists, although the
number Of earnest Democrats who have answered
measure whether prohibitory or high license, has
been enacted it has been passed by Republican
legislatures and the Republicans replying have
insisted that whatever honor credit attached TO
that kind Of legislation belonged to the Repubhcan
party But Republicans and Democrats are agreed
land in this they joined by the most LIBERAL
minded Prohbtionists) that the kind of legislation
which is most likely repress ntemperance varies
with the population, customs Of the people, and
other Distinguishing pecularities of different To-
calities Even the opinions upon the laws OF the
five States given below show how diversified are
the phases of temperance sentiment in different
parts of the country and how impossible 1t would
be to secure uniformity of temperance legislation
throughout the United States
The synopses of the laws given below are only
intended TO present the most salient points OF the
several statutes. without going into full detail.
The headings give data as to population and area,
according TO the Census Of 1880, that will be
useful and instructive for purposes of comparison
