Fragment of "a Conversation VIII
MIR. Charles a.. Treat

Mr. Charles a.. Treat.
special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
DOVER, April 6.--I had some talk with
Charles Il. Treat to-day, of which I feel
at liberty to reproduce the following
fragment, making no prstepce of giving
MIR. Treats language but merely tram
aoribing the general drift OF what was
said. The pending High License and
Local Option bill was the subject of dis
eussion and, in response to Mr.. Treats
inquiry, had expressed the opinion that
the bill as 1t stands has no show for
going through the Senate, but that, il the
local option part be Topped OF and the
bill be thus cut down TO o square high
license measure, thought II would merit
and stand good chance Of receiving the
approval OF majority of the senators,
'One thing in the way of doing that .
replied MIR, Treat, sis that the Sussex
members" (by which understood him 10
mean the members OF the Houss), .'are
oil pledged 10 local option. Nov don't
you think the bill might 40 through
with the local option provision re-
tanned, with the proviso that those pro-
visions should apply only to Sussex

while do not stand up for pushing
upon community legislation which the
people OF that community do not want or
arc not feady for" said Mr.. Treat; ~
hold on the other hand that tho General
Assembly has no moral right to refuse TO
the people of another community legisis-
ton which they do want and are ready
for. Now in Sussex our people are unan-
imons for local option. If you dou't
want it in New Castle, all right; but
don't for that reason refuse to let us have
1t. will give you an illustration. A
new drug store has Just been started in
Georgetown, making tour--iust think of
four drug stores in Georgetown"
One would suffice for the legitimate
business, should think"
Certainly 1t would. Now we have
four. This now one made a run on

to % cents pint and sold out, 30 I

Gated OF this drug store whisky. We
don't have one.hslf the trouble with the
hotels that We do with the drug stores.
The hotel keepers in Georgetown are
more reasonable; il / ask them not 10

ought not to have il GENERALLY find them
ready to maet me half way. II is these
drug stores that are doing us 30 much
harm and we want local option law to
help us TO get rid of them"
