Rum-SellerS and License Men
Should not read this article expect
ing to find any aid or comfort for theil
unholy cause-I say their cause, be
cause both parties are working for the
same end. They will have to seek
elsewhere for that. l don't set out
here to please them, ''or any Other
man" but to express my supreme dis.
gust for the late resolutions of the
Democratic and Republican City Con
ventions at Cincinnati, in favor of Ii
censing the traffic in Intoxicating Ii
quors-One of the most outrageous
propositions ever advanced for the
consideration of the people of this
State. Men have regulated and IL
censed the business for more than
two hundred years, in various parts
of the world, and no evidence is
wanting to show that all their efforts
to restrain the evil in that way, have
been utterly futile, and for them to
come forward now, and make this wO-
mans movement, which is the only
thing that has proceed a success so
far, a pretext, for repeating their
long tried experiment, is a gross in
suit to all temperance people. After
our women have aroused the sleeping
masses, and created a strong senti-
ment in favor of annihilating the
curse from the land; after having
made it appear SO disreputable to
keep rum-shop that men voluntari-
ly abandon the business, these wise
doctors of political chicanery come
forward and
"Resolve, that as a means of set
tling the question of the sale of Ii
quor, ale, beer and wine, we are in
favor of a judicious constitutional
provision for its regulation, and to
secure such end our members to the
Constitutional Convention are hereby
respectfully requested to vote to sub
nit proposition for prudent and
stringent license system"
The above is resolution of the
Democratic City Convention of Cleve-
land, but it is substantially the same
as those of Cincinnati, which 1 do
not have by me. Just think ofit-to
pretend in the interest of temper
ance, to make that respectable which
has become henious in the eyes of
the people! They would try to paci-
fy these wronged sisters by such an
Infamous resolution, and endeavor to
make that lawful which is now un-
lawful, and crime against God and
man that should be punished by a Sc
we're penalty! Shame on these men!
Yet these nefarious resolutions are
supported by several leading news
papers.
The Cincinnati Commercial saws:
ave need in Ohio a vigorous license
law, that will place the traffic under
restraint and yield a revenue that
may help to maintain the charities
that the vice of intemperance makes
necessary" If the Editor of that
paper desires that the country shall
be relieved from the necessity of
maintaining charities, why don't he
expend his powers in helping to drive
the vice itself from society? But no
he ignores all the prayers of the
righteous and the cries of the op
pressed, and asks our law-givers to
protect the dear rum-selleri In or
der to restrain the traffic, it is only
necessary in his estimation, that, in
connection with license to serve as

Extrnerdinary swindIe.

CINCINNATI, February l0.-An extra
ordinary swindling operation has been
developed. C. X. Gilbert was employed
in September last by Goethe Brothers,
provision brokers. He had $4,000 cash,
and negotiated for $4,000 of Louisville
water bonds for $4,000. He lived ex-
travagantly, and said his wife was a
niece Of Commodore Vanderbilt. He
got from time to time bonds amounting
to $l5O,OOO mysteriously by express,
some of which he sent back, but others,
to the amount of $4,000, mostly regis
tered in his name, we're kept. On Thurs
day he intimated his intention of making
a big operation, and said he must have
100000 by Saturday, and endeavored
to get Goethe TO negotiate bonds, but
the banks refused to receive them. Gil
bert then attempted to get certificate
for $4,000 cashed at TIE Merchants Ma
tional Bank, which was drawn on the
Butchers National Bank of New York.
The check was sent to New York, and
answer received yesterday that it had
been raised from 800. Gilbert disap-
peared with the bonds.
