The Cairo bulletin., 1874-03-27

The ladies of Murphysboro have taken
very sensible step upon the liquor ques-
tion. Tho saloons Of that place have
noe psid much attention TO the provisions
OF the state liquor law. They have not
been required to give the bond required
by the law, have continued to cell to
minors and habitual drunkards, and in
all respects, hAve carried on their
basinees in the same manner as
before the law went into force. The
women OF the town and vicinity have pre-
ssntel petition to the common council
praying that body to the extent Of ii
power, 70 zee that the provisions Q
the law regulating the sale of into1ics.
ing liquors are substantially enforced
that the saloon.keepers give the bond re
qiured Of them by law, that the statute
prohibiting the sale OF liquors durinC
Sunday shall be observed, and that al
other provisions Of the law, heretofore
violated, shall be obeyed. We commend
sSS 6S~N cSeso VI kuc "NtlNu VI III 1h-
boro. II is now very generally conceded
that the state liquor law is good one. 1t
has met with such general approval
throughout tho state that its opposcrs have
ceased 10 quarrel with i.s existence, events
having proved that attempts to break
1t down are useless. 1. was passed mainly
FOR the benefit and protection of women,
the greatest sufferers from tho evils Of
drunkenness. There can be no possible
objection TO women all over the state,
using oil womanly cndesvcrs to mako il,
. Lying law instead of dead lutter.
Though there may DO good reasons why
women should not pray in saloons, there
can be mono why they should
not pray to those who have the
power to make the liquor law the
practical benefit 1t was inten led to DO, to
do 30. We're 1t strictly enforced, some of
the causes which conspired 10 bring Oh the

ADELER's CANAL BOAT PLAN.--We
see in the paptis that New York man
proposes To keep canal navigation open all
winter by heating the water by means OF
an iron pipe through which Il current OF
hot water is passed. A Norrslown jour
nal suggests that this will bn good thing,
if for nothing else, because II VIII prevent
the ice from becnming 50 cold as to be un-
cumfiiria BILE 10 cit on. But We say, serious
ly, that we doubt the feasibility OF the pipe
plan. Our method would be to make the
canal boats red hot and To keep them run
ming up and down by means of ineandes-
cent mules. Aud if this saJuld not be
ofiicious the water might be made hot by
mustard sneaIed along the bottom OF the
canal. A mustard and water canal would
be interesting merely as a curiosity, and
in case of sudden stomach ache among the
bod nayi2aturs of the boats It would bt
very convenient All Il sufferer would
have to do would be to dive overheard anC
! lay upon the mustard at the lott0m and
! stay there until he got well. A friend al
! our elbow suggests that the tow-path nigh
be taken up and replaced with warm cas-
| iron tow path, which would keep TN
water from freezing, while the old tow-patl
could be cut into lengths the pieces Ian
side by side aud sold to somebody as
farm. But this is treating the sublec
with too much levity. If we can't con
slider the subject with proper solemnity W
decline TO elude to it at all.
