Grange Resolutions on the Traffic.

NIInSe hCoOluiLOuS Ou tHt IINlDC.
The following resolutions We're uaani-
mously adopted by Hopewell Grang ,
No. 623, on Saturday evening, April %,
1874, and published in the Cslina Journal
the following week;
Rssolced That the traffi In ardent spirits as
a drink is conclusive to public immortality, and
should be abandoned throughout the country
Resoired, That it is an unholy traffic, and
like that in the human blond, should receive
the reprobation of the Christian world.
ResOleed, That rum is non conductor; it
does not conduct wealth into mans pocket
no man was ever the richer Tor drinking rum
il conducts no happiness ~ mans family (;
it conducts no responsibility 10 a mans charac-
ter; il conducts no good To the mind or body !;
it conducts no good thing into the community
Is our country any more virtuOns, respected or
prosperous, on this account IL conducts no
principal of vital pietY into the heart; was
ever the instance seen in which rum selling or
rumdrinking produced any real change of a
mans principles for the better.
Resoleed That we regard the influence OF
females as of the utmost importance to the final
success of the temperance cause, and the hope
is earnestly expressed that no female in the
state will delay to exercise that influence TO the
fullest extent.
Resolued, That we cordially concur in the
iebl''e temperance movement, anu pleuge Weh
our sympathy and support.
Resoirsd That we, as farmers, pledge onr-
selves that we will live SOBER temperate lives,
thereby setting good example before our fel.
low men.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
Sent to the Celipa Journal and Standard with a
request for their publication.
The Warren COunty Council of Patrons
has also r. solved that its sympathy is
with the woman's movement, and that
"we will Go all we can, by our example
and influence, to aid the suppression Of
the monstrous evil that is doing so much
to blight our fair land in morals and
bankrupt us in treasury"

DR., w, II. COOK, ore Of the Speakers
at Temperance meeting on Walnut Hills,
Cincinnati, on Tuesday evening gave
Mayor JOHNSON and the Police Commls-
sioners scathing rebuke for the exer-
else of arbitrary authority with the pray
ng women of that city. In the course of
his remarks he sid
All this is done at the command of the Liquor
interest, which fa,tens itself On the ruin Of
other people, aud wants religion destroyed, be.
CAUSE religion interieres with It's corrupt Q aims
The women's prayers and tears are turning
men from drunkenness to sobriety, and the liz
u0r interest can not stand that. And 50 IL de-
mnnds Of servile politicians to put down relig-
ious exercises and make praying n public Of
Tense. II we look at this thing rightly, II is an
interdict on freedom Of speech. Political par
ties can erect stands on the street corners aud
IN public squares, and hnrangue for hours great
crowds that block the public way. And men
can shout for their candidates, and keep up a
small pandemonium far into the night. No
| o ly inlerferes, for these are parts of Ameri-
can freedom aud any attempt to stop these pub
lie discussions would be the ignal for a revO-
luton. But now n few humble aud order v
women must be forbidden to discuss temper
ance questions on the Streets. The liquor
traffic. which never brought anything but sur
row and damnaton To the bodies and souls Of
men, dictates that the police shall stop the MT
tcrances Of those women who are striving only
fnr human happiness aud rnrer civiliz ,tinn.
This is an outrage on the first principles ni
American freedom. and every law abiding cili-
zen should use up to drive this arrogant power
to the wall. aud to re.est blish the right of
peaceahle discussion and religious exercises m
the streets, till Il IVayiDg woman shall be safe
anywhere.

The New Fish Law. We are not yet in
possession OF Che Off :ial act passed. by
our General Assembly last winter in r,-
gard to fishing but find the following in
several Of our exchanges, purporting to
the law now in force. We apprchend it
is an amendment or supplementary to
some portion of previous law upon tie
subject, as i. is rather vague within itse'f.
1t will be well for those engaged in fish
ing to look the matter up:
SEC. |. That 1t shall be unlawful for any
person or persons 10 sli0rt FISH, or put in or
keep, draw or use any fish net, fish seine or fish
pound for the purpose of catching fish in any

State at any point or place therein above the
comlnon Level at high or back water of Lake
Erie and the Ohio river, or in the waters of a Dy
lake, pond or reservoir having a surface OF
less than ten acres, lying wholly within this
| State, whether the same be natural or artif-
| cial lake, pond or reservoir except as provided
! in section four Of this act.
| SEQ. 2 That any person or persons yio-
lating the provisions OF the first section of this
act shall be deemed misdemeannr, and On
| conviction thereof before court of competent
| Jurisdiction, and shall be fined In any sum not
less than $40 nor more than $50 to be collected
| bv the prosecution in the name OF the state OF
Ohio, as other misdemea nors ~ the second
class, ar be imprisoned in the county Jail not
exceeding 80 days. or both at the discretion OF
the dOuri.
SEC. 4. That the words fish net, Gsh seine,

voirs by any trap or device other than hook or
line or spear of whatever materials construct
~ nTOYi1n1 that n n ha NJ o N

springhtly pages doubtless regard the change
in the publication with no little satisfaction
since, according TO previous promise, ii is now
in theie hands as early as any of the popular
monthlieS. The June number opens with a ne "
story from new contributor. entitled "Galeu
Erwin's Help" and the department of fiction
also contains fresh and readable stories
from Miss A. Corbett Chase, Eleanor Kirk
aud others. Tho humorous pages Of the num-
Der are well filed by d. X. Locke. who con.
tributes sketch with an unwrittcn moral
called "The Old Times and the New I" and
by Miss Mary lIauwell, whose " Sorrows Of
A. J. Perkins" will prove one Of the most
popular things from her pen. The graVer aud
moro instructive portions If the magaz zine in
this number are admirably calculated to fur
nish good reading, but list Of these articles
would take toe much space for our columns.
But the wonder after all, Is how so much
really valuable matter can be crowded into
forty.e eight pages and sold for only ten cents
or a dollar year. LOCKE 4 JoSKs. Publishers,

In the midst of the scathing, and, In a
measure, deserved denunciation of the fac
tory-owners who built the Williamsburg
reservoir, 1t should he remembered that
they arc the chief sufferers by the catas-
trophe, brought ON by their misdirected
efforts TO economize. The most Of them
are reduced from affl aence to penury. II
they were criminally negligent that fact
should be established in the coui Is. Says

willingly subjected their own property to a
great danger.
