liquors, which vas first started in Ohio,
has been rapidly spreading throughout tn.

10 she sosne 1T tho more or less active up-
srations Of these belligsrent females.
We have grave doubts as to the success
of this temperance crusade; for the efforts
Of the ladies, thus far, have mainly been
directed towards the smashing Of demjons
and deeaDtsre, IN saloons, after Lslding a
season OF prayer; hoping by thus shutting
Of the supply. to stop the demand. This
10 beginning to work at the wrong end.
The deDard should first ts stopped, and
then the supply will cease Of itself. As
