WASHINGTON CITY:
20, lS72.

The temperance revival, which is spreading
throughout the country, has reached Philalel-
phia, and the sotal abstinence men are agitating
for the enactment of the local option law, which
gives the majority in a ward the power to say
whether lquOr shall be sold within its limits or
not Not only that, but the anti alcoholists have
commenced the enforcement Of the Sunday
liquor law, long regarded by the saloon keepers
as a dead letter. The result il a lively contest
betv cen the cold water men and the disciples of
Bacchus. A saloon keeper named waldelich
having been fined $50 last Saturday for a viola
ton of the Sunday law, there was simultaneous
closing Of every liquor saloon in the city next
day-Sunday-greatly to the CONSERVATION and
disgust of thirsty souls who had not laid in a
Sunday supply. This closing was not, it seems,
the result of fear OF the imposition of $50 fine,
lecause establishments on Chestnut street,
where the receipts in one hour aggregate more
than that amount, were closed as tightly as the
plebeian rum-holes. IL was merely the first
strategic move in the campaign Of the whisky
men. They gave the moderate drinkers who
will vote for local option law a taste of what
may be expected under itsoperations. Whisky,
whisky everywhere, and not a drop to drink
Not even sick man could obtain a drop of the
precious fluid Now and then two or three
thirsty souls would try the entrance to some
place in the faint hope that the closing was only
for effect" but il was no 20. But this voluntary
action Of the liquor dealears had an effect they
did not count upon. Quietness and good order
prevailed throughout the day in localities where
rowdyism has hitherto been rampant on Sun
days, and at night not drunken man was to be
seen on the streets. This has given great encour-
agement to the temperance men, and many
moderate drinkers will join them in enforcing
the closing hereafter in the hopes OF still better
results.
