The Saloon In Politics. Al
It is interesting to note where the ki
rep)orters or our daily papers Iinria- 'i
I bly go to find the "boodle" aldermen M
of this city, who are now on bail. ni
The day of O'Neil's conviction ai
(Wednesday of last week), the er
orld reporter hunted them up to M
get interviews. We quote a few ex. li
tracts from his account: r
"Ex-alderman Kirk was sitting in l
a saloon adjoining the Brooklyn
Bridge when tne news of the ver-. m
diet was brought to him." 11)
"Tommy Shiels . . . flashed his 1k
diamond sleeve-buttons in the face cn
of a reporter in one of his saloons on fr
East Broadway, as lhe said :'I bi
never was so surprised in my life as Ci
by that verdict.' " br
"Ex-alderman Patrick Farley has vi
a COsy' little room in the basement hi
below his saloon in the Bowery, and fe
hei'e be spent most of his time yes at
terday in company with M,ds and ell
'small bottles' " or
And still there are poor, white
livered, loud-inoutied people who tli
profess to be patriots and can still M
ask why we want to "take temperance TI
into politics."
High LAies.
New York Voice, 1eb. 19.
We detest high license for the fol- u
lowing reasons: It increases the ac- ta
tivity of the saloon-keeper in politics; w
it is unjust legislation, for it says a te
poor man shall not have a chance to In
engage in this very remnunerative at
traffic, getting the curses but none of m
the compensation; it is adding to the
public revenues from the purses of
those least able to bear it-th)e weak.
and the ignorant, for from the pa
trons of the saloon, not from the W
saloon-keepers themselves, comes the to
license fee at last; it is an addi- as
tional premium upon evasion of the th
restrictions of the law; it debauches 81:
the public conscience and makes it s
harder than ever to reach ultimate G
prohibition, placing a money barrier by
before us twice as high and twice as ca
strong as it now is; it Is, finally, a th
compounding with felony, a coin d
promise with the devil, in that it at- he
tempts to respect,abalize what is in. his
herently a devilish occupation, and Hf
continues to set before the people w
a legal standard of right and wrong in
which is utterly at variance with w
right moral standards. v
