This plan "provided for local option by counties; a choice by ballot of the people of each county between the dispensary, prohib: ion and high license system, the election to be held in all counties on J he same day, a day distinct from the DeajoL ' cratic primary, or genera! eisction \ _ day, and the stttleme*it reached to be of force for a term of two or four "years." Tnis plan was submitted, among others, to Mr. F. H. U'eston and Col. W^.A. Neil.

"This./' say? Mr. Scburz. "i? a delation of the first magnitude," and mo a? people will agree with iiiia. "The working mas?s, those laboring i-i agriculture and the industries," these are the ones Mr.-Schiuz thinks 'that everywhere form the bulkofthe population; and these are the trui constituency of democratic government," but on acTjfifconnt ot the tropical ciimare tins class : '-^of the Northern races can not ao (here and do the work of th? t.'opical zone.
