10 the Editor Of the Press:
The action Of the late Democratic conVen-
tion on the liquor license is likely to raise
questions quite as interesting to said Democ-
racy as the original package decision.
So radical change, as from constitutional
prohibition to license, will require some con-
sideration Of the details, and for one am
quite curious as to the details.
VI course those friends OF temperance who
carried through the convention the first step
towards the great moral reform In relation
to the drinking habit, are presumed to have
forecast the other steps, and they will natu-
rally be desirous Of having the subsequent
safeguards OF this moral reform In harmony
with the initial idea, that license Is the true
reformer's method.
1t Is, therefore, fair to presume that the
iicensee shall himself be a reformer, who
fr0wns on prohibition as the enemy Of the
temperance cause.
OF course to be In keeping, the licensed
tippling shop will be required to have con-
spicuous sign, and the name Of the licensee
must appear upon that sign IN large let ters
so that the unwary public may be notified
whose reformatory is sin full blast" at that
place.
So much we can easily conjecture will be
required.
7. But as to the particular character Of the
licensee. there may be quite diversity of
ing learned in the law. and tenacious,Of pre-
cedent, for aught we know, may fall back
upon the British kings proclamation upon
the same subject issued A. ID. 1860.
History narrates that, ''the pious king. by
the same probation. forbade that anyone
should keep an alehouse unless he resorted
every Sunday to his parish church, and
there abide orderly and soberly during the
whole time Of Divine service, and shall like
wise produce certificate that he has at
least twice in the year last past, received
the sacrament OF the Lords Supper accord
ing to the usage of the church."
If this should really be insisted upon by
Mr.. Clifford, there may be some kicking in
the Democratic party.
But as this question is someway in the fu-
ture, am doubtful II this has ever been
thought OF, and 1t occurs to me, that 1t may
be well to call attention to 1t thus early.
