LIOUOR SELLING ~ NEU-YORK.

The Excise Commissioners Of this city haV"
recently filed their report for the year ended
on May !, 1894 The total number Of licenses
outstanding on April 30 was S9sG-a decrease
Of 20J during the year. Twenty towns ana
cities In this State have n larger number or
liquor licenses per capita than Ncw-lork. while
only six towns and cities, according TO this re-
port. have a smaller number per capita. The
decrease I'm the number OF licenses Is gain
for the prosperity and welfare Of the com
munity: but this gain ought 10 be far greater
than It U.s. Any intelligent person who takes
note of the great numbers Of street crossings
where there are from two TO four dramshopS
ut the corners must dcplore the condition or
the city In regard to the excessive use OF IN
toxicating liquors. II Is plain 10 the meaneSt
comprehension that one dramshop to n street
crossing is far more than n sufficient allowance
for the needs or for the desires Of the popula-
ton Of the metropolis. but at hundreds Of cross
ings on Manhattan Island there is a saloon at
every one of the four corners. There can be no
doubt that If the total number Of liquor licenses
in this city were cut down to 1000. the people
Of New-York would be far better off.
The competition among the $3.50 lIquor-sel-
ers who have obtained licenses is so keen that
resort to all sorts of dsreputabe devices to lure
the unfortunate victims of intemperance into
their dens Most OF them pay little attention
TO the provisions of the law which forbid them
TO sell liquor to persons who are already ntoxi-
Gated Moreover, the clauses Of the law which
prohibit selling to minors, which provide that
the dramshops shall be closed promptly at GER
tain hours. and which forbid liquorselling on
Sundays are treated with contempt In large
proportion Of the liquor-saoons Of this city. The
Police Department has not tried to enforce the
Excise law here with unsparing rigor and i'm
partially. Tammany liquor-sellers with n pull
have been treated with too much lcniency. and
have been allowed TO defy the law In the bold
est manner Blackmailing the liquordealcrs
has been n favorite occupation Of TammaDy
politicians high and low. and Of Tammany
members OF the police force.
Morris Tekulsky, the Tammany leader and
manipulation Of the liquordealers, in some recent
statements which he had prepared and COM
mitted to paper, said that liquor-selllng In this
city had become so Improbable that thousands

When n Senator Of the United States In grave

tect itself against the presence and influence OF

enough to qualify him for seat in the least
respectable OF all city councils If he docs not
realize that Congress could not exist FOR a
week if IL were always at the mercy OF any
mob from the nearest cities. Either Baltimore
or Philadelphia, Jersey City or Ncw-lork couli

than interested parties often pay for lobbyist

hostile member Of Congress would have no par
ticular value France once had laws dictated
nv the bowling mobs Of Paris, and the civilized
world has not yet ceased to shudder at the re-
suit.
The Popust Senator from Nebraska ventured
TO assert at the trial of Coxcy that the various
bands Of COxeyites were composed OF peacefw
and law-abdng citizens, engaged in the eXcr
else of their constitutional right to assemble
and petition. The pretence is impudently I'M
true The sturdy and threatening beggar who
thr,,sts himself into the kitchen Of lonely
house In the country where there are only de-
fenceless women, and refuses 10 get out until he
obtains whatever he wants, Is legally and
morally Just such another peaceful and law
abiding citizen. Town after town In Iowa has
thus been terrorized into making large sacri
fees in order to feed an army Of tramps and, get
them over It's borders If the crowd does not
steal, 1t begs with a species Of coercion which
is exactly like that employed by the tramp when
he finds lonely women at his mercy. Peace
loving citizens hasten 10 surrender bread and
meat and the use of wagons in order to get the
tramps out Of their town without disturbance
Are there no vagrant laws that these bands Of
sturdy beggars are thus suffered to force their
unwelcome company upon towns which have to
pay In order 10 get rid Of them? Sympathy for
the unemployed is utterly out Of place in dealing
with gangs Of men who are not going anywhere
to look for work. or accepting work when Of
fered but are avowedly trying to beat their
way TO the National Capitol for an unlawful
purpose In scores of cases work has been
offered at decent wages but refused. II the
men do not know that they can accomplish
nothing at Washington by lawful means, and
can only compel authorities to feed them as
beggars or imprison them as Migrants, then
they are qualified by ignorance for an imbecile
asylum If they do know the truth. they are
deserving Of swift and severe punishment.
