WAsHIsGToS, OCT l4.-Af,er all, ft was the
Democratic party that proposed to make whisky
free. and the cry of Democrats against the in
ternal revenue features of the Republican plat
form was only intended to divert attention from
what they were intending TO accomplish. A
careful study OF the Mills bill reveals the fact
that 1t provides for the remission of the licsnse
taxes imposed By the government on retail

virtually repeals the tax on unlimited quantities
Of whisky, provided tie sams be manufactured

remove one means now employed to detect vio-
lations of the prohibtory or high-lic-nse lava Of
several States and many counties and towns
where the policy OF local option has been estsb-

OF tbs day has been the resignation OF ell ply
siciaus of the medical bureau. commuuica-
tion IN q Saturday evening paper gave the tabu-
lated statement of the expense OF mainteining G
this corps OF volunteer physicians here. the cost
per man being estimated at $500 per month. or
$1,000 for the whole corps of fourteen. The
communication took the ground that the resi-
dent physicians can take care OF the sick from
now on till the epidemic ends. and the writer,
therefore, advocated the discharge Of these
volunteers from further service. This made
them indignant and they resigned in BODY,
at q meeting held ahont IL o'clock laet night.
They judged, enormously. that this anonymous
communication was reflection or public opin-
ion The sentiment OF the community to-day
strongly condemns this precipitate action. To-
