Some weeks ago wo commented upon tho

organizing raid against tho whiaky-ahops. At
that time 1t appeared ~ II the womon had rot
the upper hand OF tho whisky. The SALOONS
were closed up or metsmorphosod into prayer
meetings. The druggists signed the plodge, and
agreed to keep no moro suspicious sirups in
black bottles Under their Boda-fountains. Old
fonsi1ized aaloon-koepers wcro represented I'll
mounting whisky-barrela and making temper
anoo speeches, and q general reign Of cold
water, coffee, and tea had commenced. This was
good news II true, but VIC fear that at that
time wo had only heard ono side Of
tho question. A reaction seems to have
taken place. Tho fomRle vigiants still keep up
their organization aud hold possession Of tho
town, hut, notwithstanding their watchfulness,
whisky gets into the town, aud some Of the old
aoakcrs succeed in getting drunk. Worse thsn
this, tho women are creating prejudice against
themselves by tho mannor Of their attacks upon
