The 1ovemert Obnoxious.

BERLIN, August 31.-The liquor deal
ers of the capital are combining in oppo
slilon to the proposed law restricting the
sale of iiquor. and especially the clause
requiring them te go into the restaurant
business, which Is already overdone in
Berlin, as the Germans here refuse to eat
al home. The clauses as to age and sell
ing to drunkards are also considered OBJ
noxious, on the ground tina, the dealer
cannot readily tell the age of customer,
OR whether he is drunkard. The whole
measure is considered in the line of tee
totalism, and as imposing restrictions
obnoxious to the German ideas of per-
sonal liberty. The advocates cf the bill
claim that drunkenness is increasing in
Berlin; that increasing instances of in
toxicants have been observed, and that
some restrictive action is necessary to
abate and restrain the evil.
