The WESTERN CRUSADE AGAINST WHISKY.
The women's movement against rum continues
TO flourish at the west, although it languishes
at the east. At Dayton, Ohio, yesterday the
ladies visited saloons and hotels notwithstand-
ing the pouring rams and muddy streets At
some of the liquor places the doors were shut in
their faces, and all the bars were in full blast
and there was no interruption of business. The
ladies' were followed by large and curious
crowds, but no insults were offered them The
police preserved order and kept the sidewalks
open. In only one case was any conversion
made, that OF a small dealer on Ort street. who
had been advertising his place for sale for
month, and who surrendered easily. At all the
other saloons the keepers refused positively 10
sign the pledge or suspend business At PIE
boid's hotel the ladies were invited to dinner
and some accepted, but the owners Of the bar
positively refused to close up. In several in
stances the ladies knelt on the sloppy sidewalks
In Columbus, Ohio, the ladies visit the sa-
looms twice daily. Eight wholesale druggists
nrms In Cincinnati have resolved to iii no
orders for liquors except for physicians and re-
tall druggists. In San Francisco a PRAYING
crusade is to be inaugurated. The Kansas City
saloon keepers have received notices from the
ladies to clOse their places of business

For he drew weekly salary
The Statesfelks to abuse.

And that one ground an axe,
And the other was but q robber
In the laying of the tax.

Alone in her closing years,
With glad face look on Congress
And bright eyes dim with tears.
