The Kew to m Enigma.

From the st. Louis Times
Political economists of the future
will possibly be at loss to state the
grounds upon which rcSumptionists Of
the present day demand that the circu-
lating notes of the country shall be
changed into interest bearing bonds.
The Western people-who are not
bondhOlders to any considerable extent
are satisfied to receive the non-in-
tcrcst bearing notes of the Government
as circulating medium for the uses
of business, and they are frank enough
IL say they need these notes and do
not want them retired. The Eastern
people, who demand the bonds, adj
vance no reason for their demand
except that they desire, by specie
resumption, to put the currency of the
country on par with that of other
nations. This reason Is altogether
insufficient, and will be so considered
by the future historian. Should no
more plausible excuse transpire in the
agitation of the question, it will be a
puzzle which those chruniclcrs will find
difficulty in working out. 1t has be-
come an impossible thing for Eastern
newspapers to mention the silver ques-
ton, now under discussion in Congress,
without coupling with it some vitupcr-
alive characterization, such as lodi
GUS" ''monstrous," dishonest" and
the like This, without sufficient
cause, or any cause given, save what
these high-mindcd financicrs are pleased
to call their anxiety about the honor
Of the nation and an appreciativC
standard of currency. Perhaps the
question will in time take such Il form
that Il Congressional or judicial invcS
tigation NAV determine how many Ot
the advocates of resumption are per
sonally interested in a pecuniary way
in the syndicate Cor rather, ring) organ
lied for the sale of United State secur
titles; how many newspapers have beer
paid in advance for their advocacy
whose remuneration was made with 4
per cent. bonds; and what amount
of loss will be sustained by the syndi
cate and its bush-tighters of the pres:
and in Congress if the interests Of The
people should triumph by the squelch-
ing of the resumption of silver. 1t /,
To he hoped that some such investiga
ton will be brought about and tina
the whole base scheme of expressing
the entire country for the benefit Of {
few bondholders may be exposed Il
the world. When the neck wrapping.
of the most blatant resumptionists are
stripped off, there will be found gill
collar on the neck of each with "B
H." (Which is bondholder) craven
upon it in plain letters. There is no
other way than that of accounting for
the position of certain advocates of re
sumption and haters of silver. 1t is a
kew to an enigma, and will enlighten
the records of this generation.

THE MOFFET LIQUOR LAW.

The Law as Now in Force in Virginia
for the Support Of the Government
and TO Pay the Interest on the Pub
lie Debt.
The Mofet liquor law now in force
in Virginia is attracting considerable
attention. Those who deal in liquors
are classified as follows:
First-WhoIesale dealers who sell
in quantities Of five or more gallons.
SecOnd-Wholesale and retail deal
ers who sell in quantities of one or
more gallons.
Third-Retail dealers who sell not
exceeding five gallons at any time to
one individual not to be drank ON the
premises, but to be delivered to pur-
chasers in bottles, etc, to be removed
from such premises.
Fourth-The bar-room dealer who
sells to be drank on the premises, and
not to be taken away from the place of
delivery.
Any dealer who desires to sell by
retail and also to be drank at the place
of sale, is required to take out Il sepa-
rate license for such privilege. Each
retail dealer and bar-roOm dealer has
to apply to the court of any county or
corporation for license, which shall be
granted on certain conditions, with the
right of appeal to the Judge of the
Circuit Court should the county Judge
disallOw the application.
The applicant shall execute bond in
Il penalty ranging from 500 to $1,000,
which bond shall contain Il waiver Of
the homestead exemption. Each re-
tail dealer or bar-room keeper shall
keep a register" and the dealer shall
turn the crank of the same in the pre-
sence Of the customer on the sale of
every half pint, fraction, or multiple
thereof of ardent spirits, wines, malt
liquors, etc, and to keep on turning
the crank until the bell has struck one
and the indicator on its dial has moved
one point or number for each drink
sold
/ Each retail liquor dealer or bar
room liquor dealer should pay, semi
annually in advance, his license as fol
/ lows: In towns or county of 2OOO
inhabitants, $50; 1000 inhabitants,
500, etc.
/ In addition, each retail dealer and
bar-roOm dealer shall pay to the treas
urcr of his city or county a tax of ten
dollars for the use Of the register, and
shall pay also y cents on each drink
of wine or alcoholic liquor, and /!
cents on each drink of malt liquor sold
by him. Each retail liquor dealer
shall, in addition to the specific license
tax, pay ,! cents upon each half pint
or fractional part thereof Of wine and
alcoholic liquor and ) cents on amounts
in excess of one-half pint; on more
than one pint = cents; on more than
one and half piuts, 10 cents; on -four
pints, 20 cents; ON one gallon, e
cents; ON each gallon up to five gal
Ions, 10 cents per gallon, etc. If any
retail or bar-room liquor dealer violate
any Of the provisions Of the law he shall
be fined not less than $50 nor more
than 500, one half of the amount tc
go to the informcr. On the second
conviction taking place he shall forfeit
/ his license.
The provisions Of the law with refer
ence to wholesale liquor dealers and
manufacturers and distillers are equally
stringent.
Each retail dealer shall keep a book
in which he shall keep record Of all
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1877-11-22

liquors sold by him of more than one
gallon. The book must show. & the
name Of the person to whom sold, the
day OF sale, and the number of gallons"
etc.
Druggists who desire to sell wine,
ardent spirits, malt liquors, or mixtures
thereof, shall take out a retail liquor
dealers license, and in all respects
he shall be deemed a retail liquor
dealer.
The other provisions of the law
prescribe the duties of the commits
sioner of revenue, judges and other
officers and prescribe penalties for
failure to perform their respective
duties.
