Dr. DashieIrs Reply 10 "Episcopa.
| nnm.''
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In taking position with the friends Of
local option ! was in part anxious to
assure them that was ready to share
with them the personal burdens which
I knew they were compelled to bear.
l am not disappointed to Enow that
my letter (which was deemed worthy OF
publicatiop) has been replied to simply
in the way Of personality, but | am
glad that nothing has been alleged
against me except that attempted to
pay an honest debt in legal way.
The coupon allusion is irrelevant, but
I will be happy to state the facts.
In the fall Of 1884 / paid my taxes
in cash and rendered coupons under the
provisions of the recent debt settle
ment. The State has the money for
the tax and the coupons are in court,
and have as yet received nothing from
it. There is no defence needed for
this-the law gave me the right to pay
in this manner.
Since that time all my taxes have
been paid in money. / do this because
I wish to join with the people Of my
State in what seems to be their almost
unanimous wish. The promise Of the
State to receive the coupons is just as
much & promise as the promise to pay
the salaries Of her officials. II the
latter can take their salaries without
misgiving I think the holders Of cou-
pons are just as patriotic when they
tender what in lao and by promise has
been pronounced good. Sill | shall
60 with my people. So much for that
rather small accusation.
/ did not for a moment intend to
allege that a man is not q true-hearted
layman who does not prefer local option
to any other plan for the suppression Of
the liquor traffic.
If the choice at this time were be-
tween prohibition and high-license /
should perhaps vote for the latter. But
that is not the issue. To recur to a
former illustration When the war be-
gan it was not for US to choose between
secession and some other plant was
to decide for or against the South.
So now, it is not to choose between
local option and some othJr plan. 1t is
a compulsory choice between local OPP
ton and no plan. 1t is that we must
choose between an approval or disap-
prevail of the effort to suppress fearful
evils. More than that, it is to reject
the only plan that is offered. That is
the reason why the help Of true-hearted
laymen is invoked and expected.
Let me add here that | am not only
authorized but requested by our bishop,
1T. Rev. T. III. White, to commit him
to this side of the question. His visi-
tations, greatly to his regret, have kept
him away from Richmond. lie would
gladly unite with those who are at work
in this cause. Recognizing it as a con-
test between the friends and the enc
mics of temperance, he is surprised
that any Christian man should hesitate
where to be found. As for himself he
regrets that be has not ten thousand
votes to cast for local option.

The struggle which determined the

in reality an epitome Of the civil war
itself. The fact that the State was al
most the only one actually divided
against itself, with every individual citi-
zen straining every nerve to carry it his
way, makes this episode ono Of the
most absorbing in tho war history.

RICHMOND, VA, April IA, 1886.

Will you be kind enough to give
through the columns Of your paper your
construction of the words "locsl OPP
tion"s

"license I" do not both cast vote for
"local option"
The Legislature gave the people their
"option," or choice, in the matter OF
prohibiting or allowing the sale Of in
toxicants. As each locality-town,
county, city, or district-has the right
to exercise that "option," it is called
for convenience "local option" This
option the people of Richmond will OK.
ercise on the Goth instant by voting
either to prohibit or to allow the sale Of
intoxicants in this city. The question
upon which voters will divide will
therefore be the question Of prohibition.
But the Prohibitionists use tho words
"local option" to describe the pro-
posed division Of the voters because, so
they say, prohibition will be success
full wherever the voters decide in favor
Of it, whilst it might not be successful
if the prohibjtory law were passed by
the Legislature itself without regard to
the wishes of a majority Of the voters.
They use the phrase local option"
therefore, to describe q prohibition or
dered by the people. Such at least is
our understanding of the matter.

"The law requiring the registration
Of medical practitioners is very proper
one, and its enforcement will have q
good effect. 1t really amounts to little

The Virginia law requires that every
one wishing to practice medicine in the
State shall pass an examination before
the State Board of Medical Examiners,
or when the Board is not in session be-

Law has been in force about two years
only, but it is claimed that it works ad-

the examination is warning thst " none

Mr.. Cobb, of Indiana, from the Com.

AT the expiration of the morning
hour the House went into Committee OF
the Whole on the river-and-harbor sp-
propriation bill, all general debate on
the bill being limited to two hours and
q half.
Mr.. Willis, of Kentucky, briefly re.
viewed and explained the provisions oil
the bill, which, he contended, calle a Tor
no appropriations which were not de-
manded by the interests Of the country.
The most critical scrutiny of the
measure would show that the rivers
and harbors enumerated in it were
worthy of Improvement and were OF
public importance.
Mr.. Hepburn, OF Iowa, characterized
some of the appropriations as prodigal,
wasteful throwing away of the peoples
money. lie especially opposed the
Galveston harbor appropriation on the
ground that the plan for the improve
ment of that harbor had been show to
be defective. lie also criticised the APP
preparation for the lower Mississippi
river.
Mr.. Jones, Of Alabama, replied to
what he termed the blank-cartridge at
tacks made on the bill, whose object it
was TO furnish cheap transportation for
the people.
After some further discussion Of this
nature the bill vas read by sections for
amendments, and some little progress
was made before the committee rose.
The House then, at $50, adjourned.

HE BLEW TOO HARD.
And Now His Father Wants Harvard
TO Pay $4,000.


A Chicago special says: DR.. Almon
Brooks, a well-known physician Of this
city, is about to bring criminal suit
for $50, 900 damages against the pro-
fessors in charge Of the chemical labora-
tory at Harvard for injuries received by
his son in the laboratory about five
weeks ago. According to Or.
Brooks statement the young man,
who was a student in the univer-
sity, was engaged in the manufacture
of carbonic-acid gas in the laboratory
under the direction Of the Professor.
Two TASKS, in one Of which was sui
phuric acid and in the other sal-soda,
were used. The two TASKS were con-
nected by tube, and second tube ran
into the flask of sulphuric acid. Young
Brooks was told to blow through the
latter tube, which terminated at a
point above the acid, and by in
creasing the pressure Of air in the
flask force the acid through the con-
Meeting tube into the other flask. lie
was simply warned to be careful and
not draw any of the acid into his
mouth, being told that several students
had been seriously burned in that way.
1t is supposed that the pressure of air
became too great, as the carbonlc acid
gas formed in the second flask returned
and forced the sulphuric acid from the
first flask. Brooks wore spectacles at
the time, but one side of his face was
frjghtfully burned, and the cartilage of
one side Of his nose has been sloughed
away.
DR.. Brooks says that when the acct
dent occurred the Professor in charge
of the laboratory put his finger tips to
his lips and said in puzzled way,
Let's see what is the antidote for
sulphuric acid:" Nobody could tell,
and the young man was walked five
blocks to a Doctors office. The doctor
didn't know what to do and Brooks
was taken to another doctor, who
applied oil. Then instead Of
taking him to his comfortable room
near by Brooks was put in a
carriage and driven seven miles to hos
pital. DR.. Brooks learned Of the acct
dent through the doctor who dressed
the wound, the University people failing
to notify him, and ehdeavoring, he
says, to suppress the facts. The young
man is at his home in this city, and is
disfgured for life, besides having suf-
fered intense agony from the wound.

The Stewart Case.


We have said nothing as to the deci-
sion rendered last Monday by the SUI
prems Court Of the United States in the
case of Daniel X. Stepan ps. The
State Of Virginia. Bat in the short
opinion read by the Chief Justice in rem
deripe the decision there is a most signi-
ficant phrase one upon which there is
room to base q hope that the decision
of that Court will be in favor OF the
Commonwealth when the question comes
up for decision as to whether the school
tax can or cannot constitutionally be
paid in coupons. The reader will re-
member that the Court Of Appeals Of
Virginia recently decided that question
in the negative--that is to say, decided
that the law requiring the school
taxes to be paid in money was a valid
enactment. The case in which that de-
cision was rendered will no doubt be
taken up to the Supreme Court OF the
United States for review. 1t is, there
fore, we repeat, . significant fact that
in the opinion in the case Of Daniel X.
Steron ps. The State Of Virginia the
latter court used words which clearly
imply that that tribunal knows and ac-
knowledges that there may be some
STAKES, dues, and demands" due the
State which cannot be paid in coupons,
notwithstanding the ceaseless repetition
by the States creditors Of the words,
+" all tares, debts, and demands due the
State" These words are on all the
coupons, being copied from the funding
act Of 1871.
But what are the significant words
which the Chief Justice used? Here
they are. He said
eff finally decided in favor Of the
taxpayer, the coupons are to be re-
ceived by the collector for such Of the
taxes, dues, and demands for which
they were rendered as can under the
contract Of the State be paid in that
way"
The coupons are to be received not
for sal taxes, dues, and Demands"
but only for "such" Of them as can
under the contract Of the State be paid
in that way.
But what q confession the Supreme
Court of the United States makes when
in 9 written opinion it admits that it is
trying to enforce . contract against a
State in contempt Of the eleventh
amendment. This amendment we like
for our readers to keep fresh in their
minds. II reads IS follows :.
"Ths judicial power of the United
States shall not be construed to extend
to any suit in law or equity commenced
or prosecuted against one of the United
States by citizens Of another State, or
by citizens or subjects Of any foreign
State"
II the Supreme Court ~in keep up
the pretenee that the Virginia coupon
cases were and are suits not against the
State, but only against persons, let it
make the language Of its opinions
agree with that pretence. But how
absurd and strange the courts language
would have seemed if the Chief Justice
had said "undsr the contract Of Mr..
Toplorn?
