IyloT ana tne temperance QueS-
ton.
We take the following from the
Columbus special to the EnguTer,
dated Feb l4th, which places Tyler,
our Republican representative, in the
role of the dodger, and shows that
with his vote in the affirmative would
have passed the bill:
House bill, by Mr.. Smith, amending section 69ii,
as amended by the Stubbs Sunday law of April, 1884,
came up before the House this afternoon for passage
with favorable Recommendation from the Judiciary
Committee, and was the bombshel Of the day. This
includes beer saloons and all places where malt
liquors, as wen sprituous liquors. sold. 1t is
a sweeping measure to shut up everything, and
makes the section read as amended by the Commit
tee: "That all places where liquors of any kind are
sold exposed for sale shall be closed on the first
day of the week, commonly called Sunday, and the
sale of distilled, mault vinous liquors. or the open
ing of place where they are sold or offered for sale
except regularly instituted drug store, for fill
ing the written prescription of practicing physi-
cian shall constitute an Ofense punishable by fine
not Exceeding so for the first ofense, and fine not
to exceed 800 and Imprisonment in the county Jail
or city prison for not ess than thirty days for the
second and each subsequent ofensc."
