iBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
Albany, March 21.-An attempt WI be made this
week to pass the Liquor Dealers Excise hll in It's
present condition, which not satisfactory to either
the dealers themselves TO those persons who are
opposed to letting down all Of the tars against the
free and unlimited sale Of strong liquors.. While the
rumshop keepers Will not get anything like the sort
OF kgislstion That David D. Hill promised them yet
with the spy clause" and the enactment into n law
Of the introduced by the minded repre-
sentative OF the XXuI New-York District sunday
selling and all other kinds OF selling can 60 on with
out restriction The bill last referred 10 prohibits
any one, except peace officer from getting evidence
for presentation In court. The only saving feature
OF tie entire bill when 1t first went into the hands Of
the Excise Committee the clause leaving I'M
molosed the towns which had already voted against
licenses. This clause stricken 0ut, and. should
the bill become a law, there is a town n hamlet
In the state In which there would not be one or more
NquorstoTcs.
But when tho Democratic members Of the committee
took out this clause. they did not recocct that
"Whiskey'sr Governor had placed himself firmly on
record IN favor Of the locslOption, hOnerile plan.
As far back rs 1887. when he playing to capture
the country VOTE David b. Hill had published long
message, giving his reasons for signing the bill which
made Is misdemeanor to sell liquor In any quantities
unless local license previously had been obtained OF
that bill he said at carries out the principle Of cal op
ton II is in accordance with the dOctine OF home rule
Then Mr. Hi gives the following as an additional
reason why the bill should become law: at seems
reasonable that in those places where the temperance
sentiment IS strong that licenses for retail liquor
selling are desired 10 be granted they should also have
the privilege and option of forbddng sales by the
wholesale, which is the purpose and eject OF THIS
The measure applies 10 the whole state. ana Is
uniform In It's operation 1t does not make any unfair
determinations. 1t recognizes the democratic prncpie
that the people of each locality may regulate their
own local concerns In their own way, and aflrms
the theory Of sefgovement in reference to excise as
we'll as other Neither docs Il do any inlusco
to any interest that requires protection
Governor Flower has made the startling announce
nent that this is homeI1iie Legislature; but II Is
impossible for any one TO see whence he got that
idea as the action thus far the excise and gerry
Wandering has been Just the reverse OF inc
pursuit OF the home-rule policy.
Another plan now Is on foot through whlch
Murphy, Sheehan and Croker expect u seI 'no
"Huckleberry" Railroad bin through the senate
The position taken by senator Walker has pcVeh'eu
the advancement Of the measure much to the disgust
md the CONSERVATION OF the three "bosses.' Ar
Walker Will not vote for the bill either in committee
Ar on the floor OF the Senate. This leaves senator
NeClelland In position 10 Kill the bill. unless IL Is
Laken away from the committee BY the brute 1oco
u the Democratic majority This senator Is "lo
,nly member Of the committee who has not declared
his attitude In regard to the measure. II the new
plan goes through. sheehan and Murphy can snap
their fingers In the face Of Mr.. Walker as long as
no r,mains in tie Senate This plan IS Simply 10
