No man who is engaged in
an honest, respectable bust
ness will have it injured by
the prayers of women. If wo-
men should congregate In front
of one Of our dry goods stores,
the mill, the butchers the
shoemaker's or the harness
makers, and pray from day
light till dark, men would
come and go and transact their
business the same as though
they were not there, and the
dealer or manufacturer, as the
case might be, would not be
averse to their prayers, and
would not he injured in per.
son or property, If the pray
ers affect the dealers in liquor
differently 1T is because men
know they commit an offsnse
against public morals and
against the welfare Of them
selves and families when they
indulge In intoxicating drink,
and they do not want the good
women of their acquaintance
to witness their crime. For in
stance, If the ladies would only
pray with Bowen they could
no doubt break down his gin

would not interfere with the

The Morrow Injunction.
Judge Smith, of Warren coun-
ty, has dissolved an order re.
stralnlng the ladies OF the town
of Morrow from PRAYING in
front OF saloons, and refused
The injunction on the ground
that the law would not author
ize an injunction upon the plea
set forth in the plaintiffs Pc
tition, even if the petition
were true. Second, that the
petition was false, that the Pc
titloner was engaged IN bust
ness in violation OF law, and
could have no protection OF
law in its violation; that his
business was a nuisance, so de.
scribed by the statute, and the
people had the right to abate
it in any manner they should
choose, except by a breach of
the peace. The case was dis
missed at the costs of the
plaintiff, a saloon keeper nam

cision was pronounced, had

cupation, by the way-asks for
one good reason why newspa-
pers should go free in the mails
in the counties in which they
are published. We have had
but very little to say about the
bill repeating the ranking
privilege and shutting the peo-
pie out OF the free delivery OF
their county papers, but we
will ~endeavor to answers the
Journals conundrum.
First, the people of the
United States own the post Of
flee department., have enjoyed
the free delivery OF papers in
the counties in which they
were published for nearly a
century, and have never asked
their servants to take that priv
ilege away from them, or even
limited that they were dissatis
ned with the arrangement they
had established. True it mat.
tiers nothing to those who live
in cities and towns and have
their papers delivered by car.
rierS, and they say and care
nothing about the matter, bul
those who live in the country
do say and do care,
There are thousands of small
post offices IN the country
where the salary of the Pos
Master (if he receives any
and the wages OF the mail car.
rier are paid by subscription
Of the people who reside in
the vicinity of the Offices
When these people pay thi:
mail carrier out of their own
private pockets, for carrying
their county papers from the
county seat 10 their little post
Office, is it right or just for the
government to interpose and
demand that the papers shall
not be delivered to them until
they pay it for a service it has
not in reality perIormed9
Again, the people Of the
country are taxed equally With
the people of the cities for the
support of the post office de.
partment, but do not enjoy
equal mail facilities. While
the people of the cities have
their mail delivered from twice
to dozen times per day at
their dwellings, workshops OF
places of business by the paid
carriers OF the department, the
country will not average three
deliveries per week to an office
maybe four or five miles from
their residence, many paying
their own carriers for the poor
accommodation.
We know 1t will be said in

localities, but it is the persons
who reside in the Sparely set.
tied localities who are sending
the millions of letters which
centre at and make the great
mails of the cities, and they
pay equal tax to make up the
general deficit. And then the
deficit is not made in carrying
the mails, but in the expendi-
ture of millions to build mag
nifcent post Offices, whose only
use is to ornament the great
cities. 1t appears to us that SO
small a thing as the free de
livery of papers in the coun-
try is a very small return for

And we'll make a jOvial party.

Deadens all the circulation.

All is done by drinking toddy,
