Tho Temperance Movement in the West.

The women's movement against the
liquor dealers in Ohio and Indiana has
met with encouraging success, and has
stimulated similar efforts in other
States. The liquor traffic has been al
most entirely broken up in the small
towns, and like results are hoped for in
the larger cities. Prayer meetings are
organized on the sidewalks, and in spite
of wind and weather, of closed doors
and obdurate hearts, the religious exer-
cises are kept up, until the patience of
the liquor-dealer gives way and he is
forced to succumb. Some of the reli.
gious journals are discussing the moral
phases of the subject, and doubt the le-
gitimacy of the means used, and the
permancncy of the effects. They say
that whether the traffic be lawful or un-
lawful this is not the way to put it
down. In the latter case, let the law be
enforced in the former, let the law be
first changed, if deemed advisable.
They urge against prohibition the argu-
ment commonly presented, that its ef-
feet IS only to throw the traffic in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS dealers; and
that the only true safeguard against in
is to cultivate the moral and
religious elements of our nature, which
will enable us to exercise proper self.
restraint and to control our appetites.
Unless the appetite exists, the liquor
dealer exercises losing office. But
after all, the temptations to drink are
very much controlled by the habits OF
society and the. force Of public opinion.
This womcn's movement affords clear
index of the force of the current, aud
will doubtless have its proper influence
in reforming public opiniou Oh subject
which appeals to the best interests of
society,". The objects proposed are the
most noble which can commend them
selves to approval, and We wish the
abundant SUCCESS.
