TORE UP THE DAM.
Wisconsin and Illinois Residents Have !,
Exciting Time.

Kenosha, Wis, June 1.-[SpecalE
There was considerab BILE excitement in the
western part of this county yesterday.
The trouble occurred at point on the
Fox river which separates the states of
Wisconsin and Illinois. Recently a COM
pany was formed at McHenry, ILL.,, to
secure boat privileges, and the company
proceeded to dam the river without the
consent of anyone. Yesterday morning
200 residents of Wilmot, on the Wiscon-
sin side, drove in wagons to the dam
and tore the whole affair up by force.
While tearing up the dam the McHenry
people secured an old cannon and mount
ed it on the bridge and faced it toward
the Wilmot workers. The bluff did not
work, however, as the Badgers stormed
the bridge and took the cannon. Every
thing was quoted down by evening and
the Wisconsin delegation returned to their
homes. No more trouble is feared at

Enforcement Of the excise law in New
York seems to have stirred the people of
Manhattan Island considerably. Argument
IS to the wisd ON of enactipg such regula-
lions or as to the extent of popular de-
mand for their enforcement cannot prop
erly be injected into the present situation
the main point is that there Is a law which
prohibits tho sale of intoxicants in New
York city on the Sabbath day, and that
law the police commissioners are engaged
in enforcing. It may be. as has frequently
been alleged by those who ought to know
what they are talking about, that the legis-
1ature responsible for the law never sup
posed 1t would be insisted upon by the
municipal authorities. When the excise
bill was enacted, Tammany was in control,
and as Tammanys main support was the
liquor dealers no ordinarily sensible person
could ever have imagined that the statute
would really work any change in Sunday
conditions in Gotham. But now Tammany
Is no longer In ccntrol-it is practically
fugitive from justice-and there are at the
head of New Yorks city government men
who, having sworn to be governed by the
law. are fulfilling the promises made under
oath. To abuse them for doing this Is mere
wickedness; were they to do otherwise than
they are doing they would be unfit to oc-
cupy the responsible positions which they
have been called upon to fill.
