G@The Ne,o Temperance Era says:
The Panhandle Railroad company,
one of the most popular lines, has is
sued an order forbidding any of their
employees from entering public houses
where liquors are sold or given away,
on penalty of immediate dismissal
from the service of the company. This
means business and is "absolute pro
hibition." All travellers will feel safer
on trains of such a company, and
shippers of goods will save money.
Yes, and the people would feel safer
and save money, if their servants, leg
islators, public officers, and SO forth,
were forbidden to enter drinking dens.
No man is fit for either private or pub
lie trust who surrenders his brains to
alcohol.

rGrThe ladies' Of Ohio are still

RGHThe ladies of Ohio are still earn
estIy engaged in the war against rum.
The Temperance Era contains large
number of good reports from the field
From them we take the following &C
count of the work in East Cleveland:
The praying bands are not as large as
they were at first, but those who com
pose them are more Jealous (if it were
possible) than ever. There are several
bands; but | shall speak particularly
of one with whose operations | am
best acquainted Mrs. John Coon's
band met with marked success in River
street, and it was deemed best to con.
ccntrate especial effort there Mr.
Briukerhof was the first saloon keeper
To give up the business from conscien-
tiouS convictions; and. since his place
has thoroughly changed its character
and become temperance coffee house,
the band holds service every time it
goes down. They have visited River
street regularly every Wednesday and
Friday tor more than two months; and
on Sunday two services are held, one
in the afternoon and one in the even
ing; the place being the Detroit steam
er dock. Many of the ladies compos-
ing the band are from East Cleveland,
and, though the distance is great. some
of them have never failed to attend
The source of this faithtulneSs is their
zeal to their Masters cause; but they
have been greatly benefited by their
attendance on 4 prayer.meeting which
has been held every week day at s
o'clock a. m for nearly four months.
Between the services, there being OPP
portunity for securing names to the
temperance pledge, one lady obtained
thirty one signatures. But signing
tie pledge, and keeping it, issby no
means the best feature Of the work
on the dock. The prayerful efforts of
our leader, seconded by the rest OF
the band, is to point men to the Lamb
of God who taketh away the sins OF
the world; and in this effort, "we know
our labors are not in vain in the Lord"
For some time no service has been
held without some soul expressing a
desire to repent and lead a better life.
On Sunday, July 5th, twenty men
were gathered at the coffee house of
Mr.. Brinkerhoff, many of them earn
estly desiring the prayers OF Christian
people that they may find the living
way and prepare to walk therein. 1t
Is pltltul to see the numbers that
throng River street without employ
ment or friends, and oftimes without
TODD. 1t has been the special care of
the band to try to find employment
for them, and if they evince tokens
of genuine reformation, to aid them
by every means in their power Sew
eral ladies have taken homeless wan
derers to their own homes, provided
them with food and clothing, and
cared for them much as the Good Sa-
marian cared FOR the wounded trav-
eler on his way from Jerusalem to Je
richo; and many a poor outcast, re
deemed and reformed, now blesses
the day the praying bands first enter
ed River street.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

WThe legislature of Massachu'
sets recently passed liquor license
law, which the Governor promptly
vetoed. This is the second time dur
ing this session that Governor Talbot
has taken noble stand on the side OF
temperance by killing measures aimed
at prohibition. He deserves honor
for his firmness.

were so ready to repeal the Sunday

Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1874-10-08

&c. Several months since we called
attention to the fact that the legisla
ture of Mississippi had passed law
providing that no licenses to sell liquor
in towns or villages unless petltioned
for by a majority of the voters, and
two,thirds of the women over eighteen
years of age. 1t is reported that the
law works well, in many towns all the
ladies and a majority of the men be-
ing against license. 1t is eminently
proper that in local option law the
women Of a community be permitted
to have voice III the matter. Such a
provision would enable the crusading
women to unite their prayers with
votes, which is the only way to reach
the consciences of a large portion OF
the saloonists. Let us have such a
law in Wisconsin.

"a There was reduction OF over
800 licensed liquor shops last year in
the Patna division in India, followed
by a marked elimination in the con
sumption of liquor, but without any
real loss of revenue. Major Genera
Shaw accounts for this by the neces
sary fact that decreased drinking will
increase productive labor Of all kinds,
including agriculture, which is the
chief source of Indian revenue. This
is result that always takes place
when liquor is banished from com
munity, and such solid facts shatter to
fragments the fiimsy logic of those
who argue that because liquor yields
q revenue to the government the de-
struction OF the traffic would be a
public loss. If all the millions invest
ed in the liquor business were driven
out of it to-day it would not be six
months before the country would show
the signs of it in increased revenues,
and more fourishing trade and bust
ness of all legitimate kinds.
