THE DRINK QUESTION.
sObnety in Britain is Decree Of Gov.
eminent.

London. Nov. 25.--The British gov.
eminent has yielded 10 the teetotallers
and intends to try to make the English
people sober by act Of Parliament. Tho
Liberal party has often promised to
deal with the drink question. II now
finds that Is cannot back out OF It.
II Is understood that ono clause Of the
bill decided upon BY the Cabinet will
provide for the aspiration Of the drink
business of grocers from their other
branches OF trade This is an attack on
the evil Of women's secret drinking by
making it hard for them to purchase al.
cohol stealthily. Everybody admits that
the drinking habit Of the people Of Great
Britain, especially the working classes,
Is great evil, which there should be
an earnest and systematic effort TO
keep within bounds. On all sides Of
politics il is believed that II the Gothen-
burg or any similar system could be
worked in such way as to secure the
simple ends IT'S advocates put forth
without doing mischief in other ways,
il would, Of course, be good thing and
would command general sympathy and
support.
But the question Is, whether that Is
in any way practicable in England and
whether, If practicable, it would really
promote sobriety and would not involve
the introduction OF dangerous principles
and experiments in local government.
Although consenting to bring in the
bill, the government is not likely to
satisfy the demand Of the teetotallers.
a. hn 4av that 90 anil afiol- a. al Il
wicked and ought not to be tolerated in
any circumstances and that publicans
have no right to complain. On the other
hand, there are many people, including
the most abstemious, who hold it as AK
iomatic that it Is impossible to put down
drinking altogether, al it would be ut
terly unjust to deprive the pubicans of
a livelihood, in which they have invested
their means, without compensation.
The bill Of the government will be
objected to on the ground that it Is an
attempt to create new and perilous pre-
cedents with the probability Of the pro-
ject becoming vast speculation, the end
az which may prove to be very unsatis-
factory. The forcible suppression Of
what has been hitherto lawful trade
would be an arbitrary measure new to-
English IDEAS and traditions. IT would
also create kind Of patronage In the
hands Of the local majority which might
be used in a very dangerous way, and it
IA contended that there II no security
that this system might not ultimately
be used to extend instead Of reducing
the sale of liquor on account Of the pro-
fits going to the rateDayers.
