REORGASrZISG THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE.
The eflort on the part of leading tnxpayera to
reorganize the Board of Ksti.nate will no doubt
meet wit h popuhir favor. Two legislattve com
uiittcc*bavo lecomniended such a changc, and
Mveral bodiea of citizens have at ditterent
tinies given the proposition their approval.
Various ditlcrenccs of opinion, however, over
delails, and the hostility of intereRted oihee
holders, havo operate.l to defeat the proiect.
Tho provisionsof ihe bill which l.as now been
prepared on the subject, aa given elsewliere in
to-day's TiMiH'NK, seem ti) meet past ohjections.
The bill ha-s '?M defect, in tl.at it does nnt
Ineladl tlie Coiitroller among tho ui.-nib.-rs of
the proposed Hoard of Kstiinate. His knowl
edf? on all niatters of tinancial detail makes

It is a universally recognized .priuciple in

The Minnesota Legislature is again engaged
in struggliug with tho tetnperance qucstion, a
license law haviug been defeated recently
under circuinstaiices wbieh aroused a great
deal of iudignation. Home of the meinbers
therefore explain tbat thoy aro roally ln favor
Bl a much higher lioenso law, and a graduated
ineasiire, with licensoa rapidly iucreasing
aecorditig to the ai/.o of towns, was introduced
and by the coiumitteo reportcd back favorably
withln an hour. On tho part of tho dealere it
waa tirged that even a high license law would be
inurh better than no such law at all, bncause,
without a licensp, there would be a strong prob
ability of the suecess of prohibitory nieasiires.
Somewhat tbe saine qiu-stion cumo up iu tho
Ohio Legislature. Foitr Rcpiiblicuua voted at
tirat, with certain of the Deinocrats, in favor of
a license anieiidtnent. Not a littlo irritation
foiiowed, and when the matter came to a final
vote the Bopntdioana left tho Deuiocrats to
siipport their ingenious i^-vioo alone. The
result was that the measuro was defeated, and
another scheinc for dividinir the Ropubliran
p.irtyontho liquor qucstion altogcther faih-d.
As the Legislature is Ibinocratic, the rcspon
siiiility for any action that iniy be tak.-n in that
State will rcst when- it otight to rest, with those
w ho,have stirred the qucstion up nnd by con
tinucd deiiiagogisiu prepared the way for a
