Temperance Men in Ohio Asleep.


Vigorous, systematic and earnest
efforts are being put forth in Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama, Indiana, &c., &c, to se-
cure laws similar in their provisions
to the Maine Law. In many of the
States this subject has entered largely
into the political struggles this fall.
We in Ohio, having no Legislature to
elect this year, have made no special
efforts to arouse the popular mind.
This is all wrong, and we earnestly
call upon the friends Of temperance to
be up and doing. The coming winter
is a most favorable season to strike an
effective blow against intemPerance.
We do not deem it advisable to organ
ize an independent temperance pol ti-
cal party, until all other ayeilable
means have failed. The friends of
the Maine Law in Ohio are, as we be-
lieve, largely in the majority, and at
all events they hold the balance Of
power, and can compel compliance
with their wishes in the selection of
candidates for Legislative Offices.
What is most to be desired. is con-
cert of action. We propose that a
Mass Temperance State Convention
be held in the city of Columbus, on
the first Wednesday of January next,
for the purpose CT digesting and adopt
ing plan of action. We have, there
fore, in another place, published call
for such convention. We would ask
the friends of temperance in the re-
spective counties, to see that this call
is published in their papers, and in
addition, that a few individuals in
some central locality publish call for
a county meeting at the time desig-
mated. We hope that one will not
wait for another to do this work, and
thus leave it undone but that each
individual will make it his special
business to see that these suggestions
are attended to.

Delirium Tremens.

Not a week passes in which one or
more fellow creatures GO not die from
this terrible disease in this city.
Some Of these cases are Of painful
interest; yet they produce but little
sensation in the public mind. Last
week James Lyrch, an Irishman,
while under its influence, jumped over
board from one of our steamboats,
and was drowned. He leaves a wife
and three hel pless children destitute
of money and in a strange land with
out friends.
If there were So cases year of
hydrophobia in Cincinnati, all the
dogs in the city would be slain with
out The benefit of clergy. More than
twice that number have fallen victims
to the bite of a serpent which is nour-
ished and protected in more than
1900 houses, for the express purpose
of biting all who can be seduced to
within its reach. Shall this serpent
be destoyed!
This is the Maine question. Who
would not infinitely rather dear rel
ative would die of hydrophobia, than
of delirium tremens; yet whose dear
friend is safe in a city where there are
two thousand 0iperS' nests? You can
not cross two squares without meeting
some bloated wretch, in whose veins
the fatal vices is not already doing its
work of death upon the physical and
intellectual man. How long, Oh
Lord! how long shall these things be
endured?

Death Of David J. Brown.

We are deeply panied to announce
the deccase of this most excellent and
worthy brother. He died of diabetes,
at his residence at Cleves on Sunday
last. We do not say too much, when
we declare that better man did not
live. As temperance man, as an
humble and devoted christian, as a
father, as sabbath school teacher, and
as citizen, he had no superior. We
mourn, but not without an abiding
faith, that our loss is his gain.
Twelve years ago, Bro. B. was ii

The Work of Death.

Fiveyears ago, as we learn, there was
in Cincinnati ahappy and innocent pair
united in the holy bonds Of wedlock.
They were both connected with highly
respectable families, and their mutual
friends predicted for them years of
conjugal felicity. The husband, nat
uralIy of a social and generous ma
turc, was found often and still oftener
in the genteeI saloons, first with those
who drink social glass occasionally,
then with those who larry long at the
wine Now he is a whisky rotted
mass, and his once innocent and lovely
bride, broken-hearted and abandoned,
is the inmate of brothel.
Is it unconstitutional to rescue our
fellow creatures from the jaws of the
second death Is it fanaticism to
urge without delay the application of
a known and weIl-tried remedy for
the numerous train Of ills forever flow
ing from two thousand fountains OF
moral impurity in the Queen City Z
