lowed TO hold over from year TO year;
hence Judge Latham's appointments were

The Great Issue.

We have heretofore had occasion often
to congratulate the Democratic party upon
the fact that the State newspaper is always
true TO that party and always ready either
TO lead or TO follow where duty calls. 1t

any private pique to crafty. To-day we
reproduce from its issue of yesterday Il
double-leaded leader, which sounds notes
that seem to come from Democratic clar-
ion. The State says:

poses to make protection the issue in Nir-

people know what the States opinions are
upon this subject. and the State speaks the
sentiments Of thousands upon thousands
i'm Virginia when it opposes high protec-
ton. But this we say, as we have said
heretofore. and we say it in the clearest,
fullest terms, that we would rather pay a
thousand per cent. on what we use in daily
life il we could thereby rid our people OF
the horrible social dangers of Malone

BUCHANAN, Va, April Il, 1888.
The Town Council, at a recent meeting.
repealed the local-option ordinance preyi-
Ously enacted, and to which YOUR CORE.
spondent referred at length in a recent
communication. The cause of the repeal
is no doubt due to rapid and almost COM
plete change OF public opinion here in a
short time, and indicated by numer-
ously-signed petitions presented to and
argued before the Council by our
iellow-townsman MIR. James A. Pugh.
Immediately after the repeal OF the
ordinance the Council raised the license
tax on liquors from twenty to one hundred
dollars, and the tax on pool, billiard, baga-
telle and other tables, whether charge for
their use was made or not, from ten to one
hundred dollars each. The eighth section
Of the charter, approved January 0, 1892.
makes il necessary for every yender Of
liquors TO obtain a certificate from the
Council, upon which to base motion be-
fore the County Court for license, and
furthermore provides that ''the court Of
said county lBotetourD shall not grant any
license to sell liquors within the cor
poration. or one mile thereof, until
and anteSs such certificate is given"
While the opinion is expressed that the
liquor.license tax is too high, and the tax
on pool-tables, etc., is exhorbilant. the 9th
section OF the charter undeniably gives the
Council the right TO impose it. This Sec
ton provides that the Council may require
4 corporation license for anything a State
license Is required for; and further, tax
not exceeding twenty cents on each dollar
OF the State license may be levied to inn
