A singular state Of things exist in N. York.
The Legislature passed an act permitting the
people to decide whether liquors should be sold
in the various counties or not, excepting New
York city. 1t was decided largely that no Ii
quor should be sold. In some parts Of the
State the law is looked upon as unconstitution-
al, and a N. York paper says:


Licenses, TO sell liquor are being granted by
Mayor Parmelee of Albany, N. Y, notwith-
standing the decision of the people against il.
He pronounces the law unconstitutional The
citizens have had meeting against his pro-
ceedings, but'he has not yet replied to their re-
monstrance.


In Brooklin, the mayor and citizens are also
at loggerheads on the same subject.
