The WarOn WhiSkey.

1t is only few weeks since we first
saw reports in the papers concerning the
newly organized plan of driving out
whiskey saloons by womcn's prayer
meetings, In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Nebraska, New York, Massachusetts,,
and other States, the plan has succeeded
admirably in many towns. No force is
used. The women visit the saloons and
sing and pray, or quietly sit and knit or
sew; and the saloonists commence by
swearing and talking rud0ly. But the
women only sing and pray the louder
In day or two the seigc becomes mon
otonou,; and in week the most obdur-
ate is ready to surrender. Women Of
all crecds and denominations arc sngag-
cd in the work together. Protestants
and Catholics are all working in the
common cause. The Pope has sent a let
ter to the Massachusetts Temperance
Union encouraging them in the work.
1t is no child's play; but is daily becom-
ing more important. Inthis State symp-
toms Of the new movement have ALREADY
appeared, and in Jackson the ladies
have organised. Tho saloonists in all
localities are becoming nervous, No
one of them is sure but that, he may be
the next 10 endure season Of prayer
or hymnbook concert. II 10 an effso'
tual method in more ways than one
While the women are present, but very
few men have the hardhood to come
forward to take their daily drink. The
father stands abashed in the presence Of
his daughter the husband respects the
presence of his wife; and the son cannot
face the loving eye Of his mother. A
puro woman's good opinion issomething;
and the approval Of ovvr. Of such
women Is an array Of moral force that car
disarm Satan himself

From TINS Outlin
The Fruits Of Betting.

Tn the election for State Representa-
tive, in the Mauistee District, last Mon.
day, Andrew J. D)vcl, the Democratic
candidate, was elected by about 300
majority, over Fernando f. Hopkins,
tho Republican candidate. Harley, the
notorious boltcr of the Ludington con-
vention of year ago, worked and voted
for the Democratic candidate. We hope
our Republican frieals will bear this in
mind. That man Harley came very
near being Judge of the 10Th Circuit
once, and it took good deal of hard
work to prevent such calamity. S. W.
Fowler, also, whs tried to make US be.
lievo that he was good Republican
only wanting a little reform, went clear
over to the Democrats, in last Monday
canvass, and worked for the Democratic
candidate as earnestly as his brother
bolter, Harley. A chronic bolter is
never safe man in any party and the
sham names Of" peoples ticket" in
dependent ticket" etc., generally con
ceal an abundance Of duplieity and bad
faith.

BALDWIN was the next place in my programme

RandalPs; the heavenly valley of Nirvana; the
solitude ofthe Five Pines; the croquet ground

pros pective railroads of Killbuck; nor the
numerous advantageous sites of Pinora, Els
worth and Cherry Valley. looked blank.
lie said they would donate $4,000 to build
suitable Court House. That was something of
course; but there should be natural advant-
age of some kind. AT length he said Baldwin
was near the center line of the county, north
and south told him that Forman's and
and the logging road were as near the same
line. Then bright idea struck him, and he
told me of a prospective railroad northwest
and southeast, from-to--. sthen told
him that Baldwin was as fine location as
had seen.
ThonI visited the township of We bier, but
/ found that it runs into Baldwin, as did Pleas
ant Plains, and that they were 40 firmly allied
together that there was no such thing as con.
sidering them separately.
Elk township proved to be another Of those
townships that had not the least idea Of ever
having the county. seat, although it is as hand
some township as any in Lake county. Elk
wants some roads and school.houses, more
then county-se and could not deny but
that it was sensible.
Lake township visited last; and here I
found splendid location for county scat, on
Big Kidd Lake, and prospective saw mills and
prospective railroad, and all complete.
With the privilege of fishing in the lake, the
salaries of the county officers would not re-
quire any additional appropriation for several
years, which would save hundreds of dollars to
the county
After reviewing the whole list, I must sa.
am yet at loss to decide, and think
shall leave the subject for the consideration o.
the county at large.
ZAcnARIAH ScooT.
IS. would like 10 suggest one thing. i
the county should fail to select just the spo
to suit everybody, think Ihave piece of
land in 20-l4 that would make staving goot
county seat;and will sell it cheap-that il, en-
nough wherein to erect county buildings.

ONE Of the most distressing calami
ties We have been called upon to record
in some time, occurred in East Dayton,
'Tuscola county, on the night of the 18th
inst, in which Mr.. MoMangle, wife
and child were burned to death in their
dwelling which was destroyed by fire
The circumstances attending the terri
bic occurrence will probably never be
known. TIL, remains Of tn, wife and
child were found where the bedroom
had been located, and those of the hus
band and father few feet away, as il
in attempting to escape, he had been
overpowered by the fame and smoke.
