The Temperance Movement

The temperance movement in the West
holds out beyond expectation. That which
was regarded as disagreeable shower by the
liquor interest has become very like a forty
days flood. In some cases, among so many,
the interest has died out but in thousands
what was regarded as mere excitement mas
become to all appearance deep seated reior-
nation based on candid convictions. NO
one, however, expects that that the meetings
will be continued during the summer, and
it is not in the nature of things that move
ment 80 wonderful should continue for any
extended season. In view of this FACT many
are watching the result with deep interest.
There are not wanting those who declare
that the final result of the temperance cru
SADIE il the West will be to lower the respect
of people generally for sobriety and that in
short time the drinking and selling of liquor
will be more universal and the sale more
open than before the movement began. That
there will be reaction there can be no doubt
that the saloons and groggerIes will be open
ed again in most of the villages where they
have been closed up is most likely, that many
of those who have signed the pledge will re-
lapse into their bad old ways will be but the
natural result 1t has always been so not
only in the temperance reform but in all 9TH
ers. The onward movement is always fol-
lowed by reaction, but that reaction has
never been so strong as to entirely sweep
away all the fruits of the onset The imme-
diate results of the temperance movement
which has spread over the West may be lost
sight Of yet in thousand ways its influence
will be potent upon society. Not only will
thousands Of men be rescued from the ways
Of ipebriety but tens of thousands of young
persons will have their attention called to the
evils of intemperance who would have other
wise gone on regardless of the dangers of the
great vice of our country, until involved in
the general ruin. The movement will have
tendency to make whiskey drinking in gene
raj more or less disreputabe than heretofore,
and fewer men who care for public opinion
will he seen drinking at public bars. Of all
the kinds of drinking which make up the
sum of intemperance in the land, what is
called perpendicular drinking" or treating.
is the most fruitful of evil Thousands will \
drink with others who would not think of
drinking alone. The California Legislature
recognized this fact i'll enacting a law to pun
ish treating; and any condition of the public
mind that will tend to bring this practice
into more or less public disfavor will do much
for the promotion of healthy temperance
sentiment 1t is impossible that the evils
resulting from the liquor traffic can be depict
ed day after day to whole communities with
out producing decided result upon public
opinion. Society will be aroused to the fact
that the business of misunderstanding impos-
IS burdens upon it in every way-that the
traffic is at war with all real good-that the
first common sense principle OF political econ
omy dictates the suppression of an evil that
stands in the way of the material progress
ard moral elevation of the people.

the newspapers of that empire are devotfng
more space and attention to it than they
have to any American occurrence since the
close of our war. The "prayer pestience,'

One third OF our nation draws its happiness
and sociability from beer, and, all in all, it is
the soberest nation of the Occident, and the
most learned". Possibly, but it doesn't follow
that the American should drink a decoction

IHE long agony is over in Massachusetts,
and Gov. Washburn becomes the successor
of Charles Sumner in the United States Sem
ate. William B. Washburn is native of
Massachusetts, and was born in 1920 Ye
graduated at Yale in 1874, and first entered
public life as State Senator in 1850. He was
first elected to Congress in 1862, where he
continued until he was elected Governor in
November, 1871, being nominated over Gen.
Butler after warm canvass. He was re-
elected in 1872, and last year after hot con-
test again beat Gen. Butler in the Republi-
can Convention. During his Congressional
career ne was respected for his integrity, serv-
ing several years as chairman of the Claims
Committee, during which time no report
made by him failed to receive the favorable
action OF the House. Hardly man could
be selected in the State so Objectionable to
Gen. Butler as is Gov. Washburn, and with
out doubt this fact had something to do in
fixing upon him as a compromise candidate.
If Gov. Washburn accepts the position Hon.
Thomas Talbot, Lieutenant Governor, will
succeed, him as Chief Magistrate of Massa-
chusetts
