AGAINST INVASION OF
INALIENADLE RIGHTS
BULLETIN NO. Is.

The "jokers" in the bill known as
'Senate, No. 1853" introduced by Sem
ator Robbins, according to rumor at
the Governors suggestion, as in these
bulletins already stated, are in its
second and sixth sections. The text
of these sections is as follows:
Sec 2. 1.-THE petition of the appli-
can't for any license which is to be
granted by any excise board or body
or authority, other than the Court of
Common Pleas, shall, in all cases, If
granted, be subject to the right of such
excise board, or body or authority
granting the license, to revoke the
same at any time, upon notice to the IL
censee, and with or aithont hearing
when such excise board, body or u
thority shall, in its discretion, deem it
for The public good to revoke said IL
cense, and all licenses granted by such
excise board. body or authority, shall
be and are granted expressly subject
to such right of the excise board, body
or authority to revoke the granted
license without reserving such right
in the license as granted; the accept
ance of the license by the licensee shall
Be, and shall be held 10 be, an fyrsUoeabs as
sent to such right of rs0oeatioH."
Sec. 6. Gan saloons and all bars
where liquors mentioned in this act
are sold shall be closed on Saturday
night of each week at IL O'Clock M,
and shall remained closed until 6
o'clock A. M. of the Monday follow
ing; and on all other nights of the
week said saloons and bars shall close
at IL O'Clock NJ, and remain closed I'M
til 6 O'Clock A. M. Of the day following,
and any violation of this section shall
render the licensee guilty of a INSIDE
meanor."
Sec. Q has been branded in these bull
letins as an attempt to establish by
statute law the principle that gov
eminent possesses a right to palm off
on the citizens for 5000 or more lin
cities of the first class of their good
money a piece OF paper which, at any
time after payment has been made
for it by the buyer, at the caprice OF
the seller shall become absolutely val

fore never attempted by a Legislative
body of any civilized country on the
face Of the globe! And that the ON
coctor or concoctors of the section
were conscious of the moral monS5ros-
ity of their scheme is clearly EVIL
denced by the cunning device OF max
ing the piece of ''greengoods' to De
handed the buyer for his good money a
contract between the parties: so that
the principle of 'inViolability or VOL
untary contract" may be made avail-
able as a plea in case OF contest oelore
the Courts! 80,
1t seems that by some men in this
State and elsewhere in this country
anything and everything is JnoughO
permissible in attempts at spollation
and ruination of two industries recog-
nized as legitimate and lawful by the
National government-5he bre wing
and the distilling industry-and of
dealers in the products of these in
dustrieS, which products have by the
highest Court Of the land been ad-
judged Legitimate and lawful oolecbs
of interstate commerce
The people of New Jersey, like the
American people in general. are pos
sessed of sane sense of righteousness
and fairness. Is it conceivable that
after becoming c0gnizant of the true
linwardness of the second section OF
e "Senate, No. 1885," they can approve
/ of that bill?
