City as it had done IN OHIO. In the West the sue

Jersey city there were great many Germans
and other l0relgners, who were quite invinc ible.
At present the temperance societies were not
putting forth any extraordinary efforts to sup

soners acceded TO their request but now all the
saloons were open on SUNDAY. The policemen did

'Oh, on the side OF the ladies', of course. The
