The new Excise bill has accomplished one
good purpose at least. The construction put
upon it by the president of the Excise Com
mission, that it practically establishes the priv
ilege of sanctuary in the saloon during certain
hours, giving TO the licensed rumselcr i'm
munites enjoyed by no ether class Of citizens,
has set people thinking. We have already
called the attention of the saloon power now
in the saddle, to the danger it might be in
from OVERRIDING this business of legslating for
its own exclusive advantage, and have pointed
il 70 the fatal blunder of the slave power forty
years ago as warning 1t j. TO be borne III
mind that the persons directly engaged in the
liquor business are after all minority Of the
voting population, and that the large body Of
citizens are much more interested in having
the laws obcyed order maintained authority
recognized the peace of ncighborhO0ds eStab-
ished, and the general welfare promoted as it
must be by temperance and sobrcty, than they
are in having licensed saloons or bars always
open and accessible. Precisely how far the
majority of quiet. law abiding citizens will sub
nit to the cncroachments Of the saloon power
and grant the special favors and immunitios
which that power demands and takes is an
interesting and important question 1t may
be that we are on the eve of its settlement
Discussing this subject in the light of the CON
struction put upon the new law. 1.-The New
York Times" very pertinently inquiries. "Why
Any Excise Law?" Under the Koch construc-
ton of the law it says: "There seems to be no
reason why there should be any more excise
arrests or why the holder of license should
not sell whenever he likes if he will take the
trouble to pull down the blinds" And since,
as it points out. the Excise Commission absorbs
in salaries 100000 annually for the exercise
of worse than useless functions. while the law
itself serves only 10 place in the hands of the
dominant party the power to extort money from
lawbreakers for political purposes our con-
temporary recommends that the knot of the
question be cut by simply abandoning the pre-
tence of regulation and restriction respecting

the Excise law and abolishing the Commission
! The great and important advantage OF such
action. as it proceeds to show. would he that
" thc liouor trade would be taken out of poll
tics as completely as the grocery trade or the
drygoods trade is out of politics now Does
tbe proposition seem sweeping; the measure
TOO radical? Has it the appearance of a sur
render to the vicious element in the community 4;
of throwing down the last barrier against the
liquor traffic
BEFORE humping TO such conclusion it would
he well to consider for moment whether in
stead of a surrender to the vicious element it
would not weaken that element by driving 1t
ont into the open from behind the Tammany
organization which under the Excise law black
mails and protects it. And whether what
masses now for barrier is not in fact what in
thieves patter is known a. =" fence How
much restriction have we now? Would We
not have Just as much under the laws for the
abatement of nuisances il we had no Excise
law. or Excise Commission. no license fee even,
and the traffic was left open As any other branch
of trade? May we not after all be dcceiving
ourselves with empty names; installing words
for things in supposing that excise cuts off
Implied III lt> thih6 NH"t-
ever except a slice for Tammany and all dan
ger of interference by the police? Free trade
in rum has very harsh sound, to he sure but
what better than that do we actually have now?
"The Times hits the nail squarely on the head
when it asks, "Why Any Excise Lawr' for
it not only imposes no restrictions in its prac-
teal operation but it actually extends extraor-
dinary immunities and offers unusual induce
ments for engaging in the traffic. Under it
the saloon power not only legislatcs for its own
advantage but it makes all laws; it selects
Judges, controls the police makes Governors,
elects or steals Legislatures, handles enormous
tax leves at its will distributes the spOilS of
office among its patrons and supporters, adj
ministers the most important trusts; in short.
holds absolute sway over the lives and prop
erty of all citizens.
The question then, "Why Any Excise Law"
goes 10 the root of the matter and deserves
free and frank discussion. And if it appears,
as seems probable, that the only purpose served
by the law is TO drive together into a for
midabe political organization the entire body
Of liquor-scllcr and saloonkeepcrs with their
customers dependents, and hangcrS-on, with
the result Of concentrating political power IN
the hands of class confcSscdly unfit for It's
exercise. the heroic remedy proposed by our
contemporary may be found not unworthy the
serious consideration of good citizens.

1t is greatly 70 be hoped that Governor Flower
will sgn the bill which provides for the transfer
OF Wards Island to this city. New-fork stands
in urgent need Of the additional room which the
possession Of this island would give her AS 1t Is
she has some 5000 insane paupes for whom She
can make provision consistent with the ordinary
dictates OF humanity. This is an appalling
fact. and ought TO prove an irresistible argument
in favor of the passage Of the bill. The Governor
will make no mistake if he promptly places his
signature TO IT, There is politics in it, and there
can be no just ground for opposing it.

Some plain talk was INDUCED in yesterday
at the Prison Association conference regarding
the predominance of poitics-and shoclxingly
bad politics tOo-in the management of the
prisons of the State. The Clinton Prison was
principally under consideration. and it was pro-
nounced political prison. pure and simple
1t is not surprising that foreigners look upon
our prisons as makers of criminals, when poll
tics are shown so largely to control them. The
purpose of the conference was to open the
way for reform. and to make fitness, rather
than political activity, the ground of appoint
ment and promotion in the prison service.

Astonishing isn't II, that the Democratic party
never fails 70 get on the foreign side Of public
question ? The English shipping trade is in consd
cradle distress at present, shown by the heavy
reduction in wages reported in recent dispatches
from Glasgow and Liverpool. How natural it is
for the Democratic members Of the House Com
mittee on Commercial Marine and the Fisheries TO
bring in Free Ship bill for the relief of English
ship-owners and shipbuiders! OF course, Amcri-
can interests would be rrctricvably ruined by
