or 10 per cont Of What II WAS
prior to tho commencement OF the movement.
There WAS no doubt that tho action Of tho cru
saloon-koopers In tho country, and many Of
them had closed in consequence. 1u the intotior
Of Illinois tho saloon-kcopers arc especially
afraid Of tho effect Of tho working Of tho women
on the Boards Of Trustees Of the difforent towns.
It was with these that tho granting Of tho
licenses rested; and tho Illinois CRUSADERS have
mndo up their minds that to gain over tho
Trustees to thcir cauBe was moro worthy OF
effort than It tho closing up a. Of saloons: m Whit
was not known. but:tho sa1oon-koepcrs feared
that 1t would be adverse to their interests, aud
that tho spring would SEQ them all without
licenses. Under tho csrcumBtancos they were
greatly depressed, and ahowod an uttor determ-
ination not to Increase etooka until tho decision
Of tho Trustees was aBcertainol. In tho mean-
timo the country satoon-loopers wero mixing the
rustic cocktail and reducing stocks as much as
possible, in order that, If tho Trustees decided
to Issue no more licanses, they might 6o found
with as Bmnlt q quantity Of unaalablo liquid OH

TIE CHICAGO CRUSADERS.
Mr. Lindon hus heard one thing about the
crusaders of Chicago which, If trllo, shows that
thoy arc using ingenuity Us vol III energy in tho
securing of their anti-liquor traffic petitions.
On good authority he had learned that they were
securing flom German won,cn aud othera unable
to road the apti-iquor petition, their signature
thereto, stating TINT 1t wns directed againss tho
social-evil question. Tho saloun-keopers in
most places had como to tho conclusion that tho
crusade had lasted abont 1ong enough, and had
began to assume so serious m aspect that many
of them arc not looking upon tho moyomen. with
the apathy that they did at it's commencement.
