In the whole State, therefore, there
are but 159, 047 people living in counties
where license is the policy in more than
one town or city.
The temperance in Florida has been
largely a matter of spontaneous COM
bustion The past as well as the exist
ing organizations that war on alcohol
have never been strong or very active.
There has generally been a Prohition
party ticket in the field, but no system
attic campaign has ever been waged in
its interest.
A year ago a State organization of
the Anti-Saloon League was formed,
but as yet IL has but little more than a
paper organization, 1t has not yet
found its "sea legs"
The w. G. T. y. has been more act
i've than any other temperance organi-
cation. 1t has a fairly good State or
ganization, headed by Miss Minnie E.
Neal, Of DeLand, as president, and has
exercised some influence on legislation.
1t was the w. G. T. u. and the Times
Union, of this city, that defeated the
formidable attempt to saddle the dis
pensary upon the State few years
ago. This scheme was an attempt to
divert the local prohibition movement
into another channel and, at the same
time, provide machinery for marketing
the products of the brewery and the
distillery, where the "blight of prohibi-
ton" was cutting of sales
The real prohibition agitators" or

selves. For the saloons would make

From the above table It appears that
1873 Of these 393 blind tigers exist in
three Of the license cities Of the State
Year by year and month by month the
lines are being drawn more closely
round the neck Of the liquor traffic in
this State. Practically all Of those who
are at all active in denOuncing the sa-
loon evil are party ProhibitiOnists.
These are the salt of the earth In Flor

added to the outraRes of the saloon

between Herrin and the private ad-
wiser of the Mayor.
Atkinson left for Yreka yesterday
morning. and it was said at his home
that he would not return for several
days.
Amid all this clamor among his fol-
lowers Ruef is not silent. He has put
on the war paint and Maestretti is to
lose his job as Commissioner of Public
Works. j. George Boyne is to be
ousted from the secretaryship of the
Police Commission, and Tom Atkinson
is to be shorn of that lucrative office
of expert accountant of the finances
of the municipality. Such are the de-
clarations Ruef has been making dur
ing his stay. in Santa Cruz after the
close of the convention.
deuce of a row is promised as soon
as the boss unlimbers himself on his
return to the city on those who would
not follow where patronage was not
and the gold was not distributed.
Maestretti, Boyne and Atkinson are
accused by Ruef of attempting a COM
bination against his plan in the con-
yention and he swears vengeance.
Ruef's friends say that he is trying
to crush out rebellion with attack.
He is countering, they say, and the
war is on.
