This amount of money has already been
paid by the connty, with tne exception of
the witness bill, and that is being paid as
fast as the witnesses call for the money.
What do the taxpayers receive in return
for this large amount of money ? Absolute
ly nothing. Humiliation, shame and dis
grace was brought upon the county by these
baseless prosecutions, and in addition to
this, the conntv has been put to an expense
of over $K4M 00 to gratify the malice of the
editor of the Meyersdale Commercial. In
the face of ail this how will the editor of the
OwiHierciu account to his readers for his oft
repeated assertion that the prosecutions had
not cost the county one dollar ; that all tbe
costs had been paid by the defendants.
A Card.
Desiring my friends and atquaintances to
know that I have been publicly accused by
J. B. Snyder of saying "I would not allow
any one employed by me to buy of any mer
chant who signed the remonstrance against
that I would
the granting of license, and
discharge any one of my employes who
wouid buy of them," and "that I had refus
ed to accept money changed at his store."
The first accusation is a ihlibmUc f dic
hooii as I ntvor thought of doing such a
thing for a moment and never said it and I
defy him to prove it. I have never said to
any one employed by me since coming to
Somerset that they shonld buy at any par
ticular store, fori pay them their earnings
and never coerced them to buy at any spec
ial store.
I did say to a business man in this bor
ough that I did not want him to get a bill
chanted at that store for me, as I did not
go there since he signed the remonstiance,
thinking he would not wish tochanee mon
ey for me when I did not patronize him.
On the 10th inst. he lirst attacked me on
the publie highway and threatened to hurt
my patronage, unless I would patronize him
as formerly, by refusing to buy goods of
any commercial salesman who patronized
my house. He has executed his threat in
several instances but succeeded with only
one salesman and in that instance by tell
ing him a barefaced untruth.
He was the first to start the unpleasant
affiiir and said to me it would be "war to
the knife." and I am willing to have it out
with him but prefer to reply to him through
the press that all may read and that I may
not be contaminated by conversing with
such a mean principled man.
Thanking my many friends for their
kindness in the past. I remain

Jt rioE Deas 05 tbe License tJrEicnox.
The bitter fight that lias been waued for
some time tast between the liquor and tem
perance people wss brougnt to a close last
week. We give extracts from the opinion
delivered by Judge Ik-an, as he is regarded
as one of the ablest common pleas jndges in
the State.
" The laws of the state intend that licenses
shall be granted, if the evidence satisfies the! o ALE OFIJIKD TKlUrOAR S CELEBilA

is a man of good character. The supreme ward A Alcott, of Pittsburah. r. S. a. wha in-
court (Justice Agnew. . strong prohibition- ,?' SiwH-llS:
i.r r.r.ilrin4 th ttitinionl Iias ho alrlrmid arhlch U now In hi, iulm, Mn.l mat r44 mwm
mvlrv cnnrt nf Ihe common wr-dlh for fortv
every court ot tne conimonweaiin lor tony
years nas so lielil, a single very recent ipin-
ion to the contrary being cited. The lu
on the statute book before us ; its construe-
tion is not open to doubt ; the evidence to
sustain the right of tbe applicant to license,
aud that denying it. is before us : now, in
the exercise of our judgment, or legal dis
cretion, in view of all the evidence, has the
i-etionrr met tie rctiuireiitenls of th law or
has hi- failed to do so? That
tl only
question. Public e ntimriit has nothing to
do with the law, it is out of place when it
seeks to change the law in the court room ;
public sentiment might ju-t as well demand
that John Jones should gain his ejectment
suit againt Feter Smith. A man's title to
his property ia to be determined by the law
and the evidence; his right to a license to
atll whiskey is to be determined in precise
ly the same way.
" We are free to say that the best way to
stop intemperance is not so clear to us as it
seems to be to most, it not all, of the re
monstrants, and especially to their counsel.
We, too, have given it much thought and
investigation ; for fifteen years we have had
every opportunity for observation. Ail are
agreed Uiis far, that the intemperate or ex
cessive use of liquor aaa beverage leads to
deplorable results ; wrecks the drunkard
morally and physically and brings poverty
and suffering on those connected with him
and dependent upon hiiu ; the aian who
lifts his license to-day will admit this just
as unqualified as the most zealous prohibi
tionist asserts. All, or very m ar all, will
probably agree ah-o in this, that tbe tem
perate use of liquor has no appreciably del
eterious effect on the drinker : does not af
fect his health ; does not shorten his life,
does not interfere with the nerfonnance of
any civil or social duty. We mean by tem
perate use, just such use as is ordinarily
made of other stimulants, as tea, coffee and
tobacco ; a man is not more injuriously af
fected by two or three glasses of beer, wine
of coffee, in itself tbe temperate use of this
stimulant fs no more wrong than the use of
any other. Just here, however, come in
the earnestly urged objection to alcohol.
! that it is of so seductive a nature tkat very
j few who commeaca to use it moderately
continue temperate; that in a short time
' - -j '
iug to excess. This being the case, it be-
i Cya,a ltn q-
for the individual
"ooad.Bc.. whether U is right to do that,
. not in itself wrong, which impels to excess:
i "r "ea " tuere nu ua"r lu luo '
lar individual, whether it is not wrong to
j set an example so full or peril to others of
, less firmness of character. We can very well
understand bow men of susceptible and ten-
;.teIynseso dangerous a stimulant. But
dangerous a stimulant.
: aside from the consequences which may
! thus indirectly follow from its moderate use.
ih its;If tha muderale use 0f alcohol is not
morally wrong.
' Absolute prohibition has been in force
in Maine lor more than thirty years.yet with
a population of only six hundred and fifty
thousand, there were more than one thous-
j Xnd prosecutions for illegal liquor selling
j last year. If men will drink liquor, it
j seems that men will sell it, if they can get it
, to sell. If it will be dealt in, and will be
sold as long as there are buyers, then it is
belter that those who minister to tbe de
mand shall do it legally, under a proper li
cense law, or illegally in defiance of law.
and under which legislation will there be
tbe minimum of evil and wretchedness? "
Judge Dean then boldly attacks tbe favor
ite argument of the prohibitionists that the
license system begets crime and quotts sta
tistics in support of his proposition. In
conclusion he says :
Our owu observation, extending over
many years, leads us to the conclusion that,
in cities and large towns, in the present con
dition of public sentiment in such places,
the best thing that can be done is to restrict
licenses strictly to the cases prescribed by
the law ; with such populations thedemand
t lor the stimulant is so active that there is a
j constant clamor for the licensing of more
drinking saloons, and we are glad to have
the aid uf public sentiment in separating
these from hotels necessary for the accom
modation of the public. While we are
heartily in accord with the remonstrants in
this particular, we are not sure, with our
present light, even if we could under the
law do so, that we would go further ; we are
not yet convinced that commodious hotels,
conducted by honest, temperate men, regu
lated by license laws, do increase drunken
ness. We susiiect if they were not licensed
the traffic, to the same or greater extent,
would probably go into the hands of the ir
responsible and vicious men and women.
Further opportunity for observation, access
to moro, as well as more comprehensive sta
tistics, the experience cow being had iu
states where absolute prohibition is under
going trial, may show that the remedy tor
the evil of intemperance is that which the
remonstrants express so much confidence in.
At present we do not see as clear,- as they
do.'
Forty-seven applications were granted
and 13 were refused.
