The Cincinnati Gazette, contains
full account of the arrest of the cru
saders by the police. and, in comment
ing on the event says: The women
sought to suppress the traffic by moral
force and not by law, but the law is
enforced against them, while the au-
thorities make no effort to enforce the
laws against the liquor traffic. 1t is
also shown that the class who violate
the laws against the liquor traffic vir-
tually command the police force OF
Cincinnati, and not only defy the au-
thorlties, but compel them to send to
the station house and arraign in the
Police Court forty-three respectable
women, engaged in what they consider
a labor of love. This is precisely the
position of the authorities. and hui
initiating position it Is. The brutal
conduct of some of the saloon keepers
has aroused feeling that it is to be
hoped will not be further melted.
Americans have a respect for women
that can't be disregarded with safety,
and this feeling is not confined to
those who approve of the street cru
sades, or who are even to be classed
as temperance advocates. This is a
feature of American society that it
would be well for those who violently
oppose the women to consider.

up by the Council at its meeting on
last Tuesday night. When the De-
mocracy determined to change the eli
icient Fire Department, now under
command of l. G. Dougan, the BEST
man for that position in the city, the
Republicans determined that the ser
vice should not be demoralized and
made inefficient by the substitution of
mere partizan-specially untitled in
every way for the duties of Chief; they
resisted, and, by not suffering the vote
10 be a tie, SO that Mayor Elder mi ght
give the casting vote, the Council re-
manned in locked state until p
o'clock on Wednesday morning-and
then adjourned without making a
choice.
We hope the same course will be
followed by the friends of our Fire
Department, which is pronounced by
competent judges TO be the most eff
Gent for prompt service in the West,
until the morning of May 18th, 1875,
or, until the democracy are willing to
"let we'll enough alone, and cease
