Not Yet Settled.

The question Of selling liquor ON the
Exhibition grounds of the Chicago
Worlds Fair has been finally settled.
The National Commission has declined
to take action regarding HE petitions of
temperance societies, declaring tie
liquor question to be II political question,
and therefore not belonging before its
forum. = BfeTers' JoUrRdi. .N"y Isl.
The National Commissioners at their
late meeting laid on the table IA resolu-
ton providing that Il public hearing be
given to persons opposed to the sale of
liquor on the grounds of the Exhibition.
That, however, does not necessarily set
tie the question. The resolution may
be called up by the Commits >ioners and
passed at their next meeting. To deny
Il hearing to the friends of temperance
ON this question would be an outrage
which they will be quite certain to resent.
\ hearing is to be granted the friends
of Sunday closing ON the 9Th of Octo-
Der. If the opponents of liqnor-scl-
ling ask for II hearing, and. if need
be, ask with emphasis. we do not be-
lievc the Commissioners will refuse it =.
The opponents of liquor-selling at the
Worlds Fair should make their protests
heard and recognized from all parts of
the land. In this way the threatened
disgrace and peril may he averted.-
