EXCISE BOARD BUBBLES.

The proceedings of the Excise Board
last Wednesday night are fair instance
OF ''the insolence of Office. the laws
delay" and will certainly not tend to re-
establish the hoard in the confidence of
the public. If the Commissioners were at
arxi"us TO woke the license and had
any doubt IL to the method of procedure,
they would have resolved to serve a
notice on Conway at their regular
monty meeting held on December l..
Perhaps Counsellor Forsythe's remarks
about '-hot-headed" people were only
what might be expected of him. But if
it were choice of getting along without
him or the members of the Cinz ms
Committee, there is little doubt how the
people of Morristown would decide. The
Citizens' Committee has manifested con-
siderable patience, especially as if the
Board had done its duty this trouble
would never have arisen.
