The Liam* Laws.
The present Legislature have before them
an important question in the revision of the
license lads. There is no doubt that the
present Jug Law will be repealed. The vote
at the last election iiaieated that thepeciiile•
are oppotssl to the stringent frotriaionli of
the late law. A hill has already beetVelrer
ed for its repeal. The Pittsburg Post refers
ing to this subject, mill that while a. large
majority arc in favor of a repeal, they are
divided In opinion m to whether they shall
repeal the present law without providing a
substitute In the farm era remodel and strin- .
geeLlicensi;lliv. Some contend for thii
mediate repeal 'as the first step, and then
take *xi to, frame or oonsideak a pepper It
cense law aftilrwards. Others % insist that
both steps should be taken.simultaneopsly.
While this is a subject of discussion in the
House, Judge Wilkins, from . the committee
of the Senate, has reported a 1411-to-do both
acts at once. •

went on the old license law, and we presume
it will be more satisfactory and useful than
the law ef the last session.' Many of the
former friends of prnhilition express the
opinion that it as stringent a law as can be
obtained and made permanent iq this State.
In regard to the question of providing it
substitute at the same time that the present
law is repcaltd, we believe that it should be
done, and that both should be done soon.
Let all parties know et µs early a day-I<n

It is doubtful whether this bill will pus.
