town. This action grows out OF q re-
fisal on the part OF tho liquor. dealers

amendment to the town charter then

passed BY May LIST. This amendment pro-
vided for an increase in the revenue from
liquor license from $500 per year to 500
per year The Legislature passed the
amendment to become effective ninety
days after It's passage, which would be
juno LIST. Just before the local option cleo
ton last fall the loquors men pledged their
support to the amendment to the charter
sing the license to 5000. The paper
was signed By every member of the Coun-
Gil. This proposed amendment probably
influenced enough voters to carry the
election for the vets. BY whom tho mat
ter was originated. It was the general
understanding that the town would re-
ceive 5000 from each liquor dealer this
year, and when 1t became known thqt
the liquor men would only pay the usual
$500, there was Indignation on all sides.
Was Warm Meeting.
There was a warm meeting OF the Coun-
eli Tonight and there was not a dissent
ng voice on the question OF revolving
their license. v. L.. Sexton was attor-
ney for the liquor dealers, and claims that
the Council has no right to take such
action, that the matter passed out of their
hands when their order was certified to
the court in each case, and the license
granted ny the court. He has advised
his clients not to pay the additional x,vJ
license, and unless they break away from
him and pay the amount 1t is llekely there
will be consldera bio litigation over the

saloon men Is very favorable to their
cause, and 1t is understood that they
will run dry ticket for Council at the
June election, which they confidently ex-
poet to elect, They c:~im that the liquor

after It's passage. or about June LIST; yet
their note. or duebill to pay the l,ddi-
tional $500 was conditioned upon the pas

A VAGUE PLANK.

The Grafton Sentinel makes The
following sensible cut6ment on hat
notorious platform:
S'The following is a sample reso-
luton adopted by the Democratic
Congressional convention al. Clerks-
.And we denounce many of the
provisions of the new fax law as
ill-advised, enacted without proper
consideration. and failing utterly to
correct inequalities in assessments
in every county and section of the
State. Tax laws when made to adj
vance the interests of a party or a
part of its leaders and to build up a
political machine to retain them in
office and power must necessarily
fail in equalizing burdens and be-
come a system Of oppression to the
people,
'sWhat could be more vague and
demagOgical than the above? The
Republican party does not accept
the new tax laws as perfect and
without need of amendment in some
particulars. This resolution does
not even attempt to name a single
provision that bears such a stamp
as the resolution Is intended to be
put upon them. Wherein do they
utterly fail to correct inequalities
in assessments in every section of
the State?' If they do so fail Is it
not the object and the purpose of
the party that originated tax re-
form to correct the inequalities of
the new law as they appear? The
balance of the resolution is just as
pointlcss as the first sentence. 1t
is demagogucism pure and simple.
An abstract proposition that nobody
could successfully deny if it were
true. Or true or not undeniable as
a proposition. n party convention
