ERAL RULING.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 49,
Spiritus frumenti will be practically
impossible to procure In Nashville
hereafter, and that not on account
of the operation of any prohibitory
law, but solely from the standpoint of
profit and loss. The revenue bill
passed by the last Legislature, and
the privilege tax ordinapce passed by
the City Council last month, both pro-
vide in unmistakable terms that the
druggist who sells whisky upon pre-
is liable for license as a
liquor dealer. This would mean that
il will cost $500 per year to sell
whisky upon prescription only Not
many druggists will ever pay any such
price for the privilege Of such sales.
In fact, several of them have refused
already.

conference, Judge Hart has defined

ted-Saloons Cannot Open.

BRISTOL, Tenn, July 14.-At f.;
meeting of the temperance leaders o
Bristol, Va, held late Tuesday after
noon, it was decided to contest the
local option election of last week
which resulted in a majority of 81
votes for the vets. A committee, con
sisting of w. r. Stone, a prominent
and wealthy lumberman; W. ]. Cox,
Segt. and Samuel McCray, among the
heaviest property owners in Bristol,
was appointed to at once engage
counsel and institute suit to have the
election set aside.
In the event it is declared illegal
by the court below, the saloons can
not open until the case is heard by
the supreme court, which will proba-
bly, be six months hence The
ground of the contest is that 125 per-
sons who voted, including both prohi-
bitionists and i-prohibitionists, are
residents of Bristol, Tenn, or live
outside the corporate limits. In some
cases it is said that the election
judges proceeded on the equal plan
that persons living Immediately out
side the corporate limits would be
affected by saloons or prohibition
and gave them the benefit of the
doubt as to their right to vote Law
yers say that this is clearly illegal.
Again, the vast majority of the 1875
live in Bristol, Tenn, and own prop
erty there, but claim their citizen
ship in Bristol, Va. Among them are
men who have lived in one city and
voted in the other for fifteen or TWEEN |
ty years.
The temperance forces believe they |
can have the election set aside, so /
that it will be necessary for the vets
to call another one or allow prohibit
ion to continue. At Roanoke, Va, a
ew weeks ago Judge Staples set the
ocal option election aside, after the
temperance people had won signal
yictory, in the face of great opposi-
ion by a majority of 81 He did so
IN the ground that persons voted who
hould not have voted, and that the
'oll lists were not accurately made
ut, so that no legal election on the
ubject could be held at that time.
The temperance people here believe
hey will be able to reverse the sitiua-
ion on the liquor people. Notwith-
landing this, many are here prepar
lg to open up, and though the Vir-
mia law provides that licenses shall
e given to citizens of the state only, S
lis is not literally enforced and
mounts to little. f,

WHAT is DEMOCRATIC?

The democrats who voted against
free lumber have
Voted to repudiate the national
platform of the democratic party;
Voted to encourage the destruction
of our forests;
Voted to raise the price of one of
the chief necessaries of life:
Voted to tax a material that enters
into a multitude of industries, and
thus to place an unnecessary burden
upon these industries:
Voted to tax the people of the
whole country for the benefit of a
comparatively few owners of timber
lands; and
Voted to tax a majority of their
own constituents for the benefit of
minority of those constituents.
To cast such a vote democrat
must have arguments that have not
yet been given to the public and
must be prepared to present these
arguments to his constituents.
The Commmoner viii give space
Cup to two thousand wordsl to any
democratic senator or member of
congress who desire to present an
argument in favor of a duty on lum-
Der, provided he will in his article
answer the following questions:
First, is platform binding?
Second, is it wise to encourage
the devastation of our forests?
Third, will the country as a whole
be benefited by a tariff on lumber,
and if so, how?
Fourth. how many of his constit-
uents produce lumber as compared
with the number of his constituents
who use lumber?
Fifth, will he give the names of
the men who have by letter or in
person urged him to vote for tariff
on lumber?

letters from constituents who either
approve of or condemn the votes
cast by their democratic senators or
