Great Temperance Victory in
Bloomington His,

We are indebted to our old friend,
Col. John Reed, of Bloomington, Ills,
for copy of the Bloomington Lead
er, of April 21st, from which we learn
that the Temperance men and women
of that city achieved complete vic
tory in the municipal election on the
Goth. We say men and women, for
it appears that much of the credit of
the victory is due to the efforts of the
women, vino visited the polls and re-
mained there all day, actively work
ing for the success of the Temper
ance ticket. The only issue was
License or No License, all other
questions being laid aside, and the
result was, four of the six wards elect
ed the Anti-License candidates for
Council, giving clear majority in
that body against License. The
popular majority against License in
the whole city, as shown by the vote
for Councilmen, was 159. We copy
the following from the Leader:
'The scene at the NJ. E. Church,
where the crusaders had gathered to
hear the news, was a lively one in
deed. The ladies who had worked at
the polls all through the day, we're
determined to await the result of
their labors, and learn which way
the fortunes of war had turned. The
time was spent in singing, speeches,
and social conversation, until the re-
turns began to come in from the va
rious wards, and each victory for
prohibition was received with demon
strations of delight, and the bell
pealed forth the tidings to the people,
When the last return was in, and all
doubt had given away before the GER
tainty of victory, men, women and
children, all united in hearty cheers,
and the church bells again rang out
a merry peal.
''The ladies, yesterday, certainly
demonstrated their capacity to act as
political managers, and fairly outgen-
eraled the opposition. They met at.
the church at an early hour and Or
ganized committees to attend the
polls. Every hour the bell was
rung, and carriages were sent out
with relief, and those who had
labored for the last hour returned to
the church, where they could warm,
and partake of the refreshments that
were kept in readiness for them.
During the day there was very
little drunkenness, and so far as We
can learn, the ladies were treated
with politeness and respect"
Col. Reed is a member of the
Bloomington City Council, holding
over from last year, and has been
particularly active in favor of the
Temperance movement. We con-
gratulate the friends of Temperance
everywhere, that there is at least one
city of 10000 inhabitants in theland,
where the liquor influence does not
bear sway. All hail to Bloomington,
which will be a blooming tOaoe in
deed if it shall always adhere to
Temperance principles.

The following suggestion by the
Philadelphia Press is probably as
good a one as can be made In so few
words on the subject of which it
speaks:
Improved water communication
and better diversifcation of indus
tries is what the West wants. Let
the Changers concentrate their ef-
forts upon these objects and they
will succeed. Their success then
will benefit the whole country"
