The Woman's Movement.

There is one feature in the woman $
war against whisky, now waged SO
widely, which compares most favorably
with the characteristics of some prece-
ding movements, and which eommends
it to general favor. We refer to the ap-
parent absence of the spirit of censori-
business and bitter denunciation. The
words of the women, whatever may be
thought Of their methods, are words of
love, and are prompted by loving
spirit. They evince no disposition to
harm any one, or to interfere with any
legitimate business. They are bent on
rescuing the victims of diseased appe-
tite and degrading vice-their hus-
bands and fathers, their sons and broth
ers-from the pit into which they have
fallen, or to-save them from becoming
such victims and falling into such deg
radiation. They are impelled by natural
and Christian pity, such as dwells in
woman's heart, and their demOnstra-
tions are in harmony with this senti-
ment. 1t is this which gives them their
influence over dealers of all classes, most
of whom have been accus toned to re-
gard their business as branch Of legit-
innate commerce, for whose incidental
evils they were not responsible. These
evils, which are fearful, are made prom
inent, and a closer moral estimate of
them is awakened. The strong moral
convictions Of those, whose hearts are
full of kindness, are never to be lightly
and the exhibition of them is
often rresistible.-Clereland Herald.

Financial Aspect of the Tenn
perance Movement.

The financial aspect of the temper
ance movement is not the least :mpor-
tant of its phases. 1t is shown that in
eleven districts in Ohio the revenues
have fallen off more than $350,OO0 per
month, at least so per cent. of the
revenue from these districts being
from the manufacture of malt and dis
titled liquors. Reports from all the
leading cities show an enormous falling
off in the wholesale liquor trade. The
Enquirer says that the trade of Cinein-
natl alone is 6amaged to the extent of
$40, 900 day. All this will be hailed
with joy by the friends of temperance.
The money not put into liquor is being
used for other and better purposes, so
that the owners of large stocks of liquor
are the only immediate sufferers If
those who are trying tn scare the tenn
perance women by attempting to show
that the movement entails serious loss
to business, would balance the books by
placing to the credit of the women the
amount of money saved to the drinkers
and to their wives and children by the
closing of the saloons, they might be
surprised at the state of the balance
sheet. The further increase of the rev.
enue deficiencies by the breaking up Of
the liquor traffic is not cause for
alarm. There is no burden the people
can so well afford to bear as an increase
of taxation for such a reason.
