HIGH LICENSE OR NO:

There is not city in this country where
,he government OF the liquor traffic mas
not been subject Of contention. some
people think it should be restralneo ana
condemned altogether. Others are Oh the
nDinion that it should no more be taxed
or interfered with than other businesses
are. Still others argue for high license
with the double purpose Of diminishing th'
number of saloons and increasing the
public revenue. And so, from time Il
time. there have been clashes OF opinion
more or less heated according TO the tenn
per of the disputants and the sentiment
OF the community.
Real prohibition never has been effected
in any city that we know of. So far a:
our information goes, The best results OBJ,
tanned have been through the medium
of the high license system. By it th
number OF bar-rooms have been reduced
md many Objectionable proprietors forced
out of business.
The more valuable a license becomes
the less disposed is the bar-keeper to
endanger it by violating the laws him
self, or by permitting those who assem-
bic upon his premises to do SO. 1t be-
comes a piece OF property, SO TO speak
which he is at All times anxious TO pro-
tect- That the high license system is
not perfect we dare say; but probably
we shall have to live long, long tim;
before we find one inat is better.
Here in Richmond we nave 51S bar
rooms to a population of a little ovei
10000. Here we soon shall have to raise
q very large sum OF money to supply tn,
city with clear water. Here we surely al
not getting as large revenue from retail
liquor licenses as many other cities of
pur population are receiving.
The conjunction of these circumstances
requires our City Council 10 inquire if it
would not be proper 10 levy a higher Ii
tuor license tax. We believe that an earn
EST, hearty movement in that direction
would be sustained by our people or
grounds OF temperance and morality
wholly aside from All question of dollars
and cents
The resolution Of Mr.. Crenshaw's pro-
poses 10 LIN llle retail lQuOr-llCeNSe tax

high, considering that Lie par-Keeper has
to pay a State Incense also. But that's
matter for inquiry,

municipality includes State and city taxes

uo11NEux,s SECOND TRIAL.

The second trial of Roland B. Molineux.
of New York, for the murder by pol
soning of Mrs Kate Adams, will COM
mence Monday next The first trial ex-
cited perhaps as much interest any
similar one that has ever occurred in
this country. The testimony against the
accused was entirely clrcum stantial and
expert, and exceedingly contradictory,
but in its broad range it brought in many
persons and made up a chapter OF IN
trigue which read like the creation OF the
brain of an old school dramatic novelist.
1. is hardly probable. however, that any
great degree Of interest will be taken IN
the new trial. Nor does it seem likely
that the State will be able to secure a
second conviction. A number OF 1he
witnesses for the prosecution have dleo
or disappeared since the former trial,
and, as their old testimony cannot IN
their physical absence be cited from the
court records, the District Attorney en-
tiers the new trial considerably Crippled
Moreover, it is said that one important
witness, Miss Melando, of Jersey City,
now refuses absolutely TO appear against
the accused. and. as she is beyond the
jurisdiction of the New York courts, she
cannot be compelled to take the witness
stand.
A novel feature of the case which de.
veloped a romance within a romance. was
that Mrs. Adams was not the intended
victim of the poison. AS conflicting as
was the testimony on the first trial the
consensus of opinion was that Molineux
was guilty, but opinion was widely dlVld-
ed as to whether his conviction was JUS
tifable in law.

the last report of the Commission

In the last report of the Commissioner
of Pensions, it is shown that the pension
system since the beginning of the gov
eminent has cost the vast sum OF ST.
1852, 500, 0l9.37, and that this sum is eXclu-
sve of the establishment of the soldiers
homes.
And still the end is not yet, and the
Oliver Twist cry echoes through the
land
The Clarke Courier, in advocating
Speaker hyan for Governor, pays him a
deserved compliment, and says that 1.-The
only objection to Mr.. Ryan we have ever
heard advanced from friend or foe. is
that he is an old bachelor and won't get
married.
Our contemporary, however, thinks that
that objection can be remedied. Where
is the lady who will so exercise her
charms upon Mr.. Ryan as to render him
eligible to election whether or not?
The Alexandria Gazette, in discussing
the high license proposition in Richmond,
says: High license has long since been
weighed in the balance and found want
ing. from the fact that it has inevitably
produced large number of speakea Sizes
There is no reason why it should be
found wanting if the police authorities
do their duty.
Let every Democrat Of Charlotte pre-
pare himself to do valiant service in the
coming election. Let each one see that
he is duly qualified by registration for
the discharge of a freeman's duty on the
day, that not only our chosen, candidate
may have a strong vote, but that the

Hon. Robert II. Snyder Speaks

81 am IN sympathy with the

ticket through the medium of a

81. 1t is Democratic doctrine,
the soundness of which none will
dispute, that all governments derive
their just powers from the consent
of the governed, and it follows that
the method which most fairly and
accurately ascertains and records
the consent of the oovernci is the
best, safest and most democratic
method.
"2. Past experience warns the
Democracy of the State that the
convention method does not always
reflect the expressed will of the
Democratic people. While through
this method 1t may be possible, yet
it does not always happen that an
opportunity is afforded voters TO
express or even indicate their will
80 far as the nomination OF State
officers is concerned.
20. The convention method Is
an indirect and necessarily an un.
satisfactory one. Ward or mass
meetir gs are held, which elect
delegates to parish conventions,
these delegates elect other delegates
to States convention, some oil
whom attend IN person, others b5

the will OF the people from thf
