EThe democratic caucus, at
Columbus, has instructed its party in
the Legislature to abolish the Offices
of Rrailroad Commissioner, Gas Com
missioner, Comptroller of the Treas
ury, and Commissioner of Insurance.
The caucus being King, we suppose a
bill will soon be introduced to carry
out its behests. The Railroad Com
missioner, and the Commissioner oil
Insurance, we believe, should be re-
tanned, as they represent interests Of
great Importance to the people, and
which, for the common good, need to
be carefully watched and guarded.
The other two officers a be dispensed
with without injury to the public SER
vice.

A Counter Movement.

The temperance campaign in Hills
boro has met with resistance. Mr..
Dunn, a Druggist, not liking the plan
of the ladies of singing and praying
before his door. applied to Judge
Stafford for an injunction against the
further continuance of these proceed
ings. The Judge granted the inJunc-
t;on. and ordered that the said de-
PENDANTS. each and all of them, be
..en;oined and restrained from sing
ing, praying, exhorting. or making q
noise and disturbance in front Of said
drug store of said W. II. H. Dunn,
or on the sidewalk, or on the steps
thereof, or in the vicinity thereof, to
his annoyance, or from t%respassing in
or upon his said premises, or in any
manner in%terrupting his said bust
ness, and this you will in no wise
omit under the penalty of the law"
The Injunction will be heard before
Judge Steele. Both parties have re-
tanned able counsel to argue the CAGE,
and we shall soon have the result OF
sfIfs uO.Sl
Judge Stafford has some curious
notions upon this subject of singing
and praying, which are related by
the correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer in the following extract:
A moment ago Judge Stafford, q
most upright and fearles Judge, came
into my room at the Kramer House.
asked him what he should do if any
of the citizens disobeyed the injunc
ton and commenced re enacting the
bother, or commenced praying in
front of DR. Dunn's.
"Do, sir? Why, 1 shall have them
arrested, and will put them in Jail on
bread and water, for contempt said
the Judge.
but, Judge, can't these ladies
pray where they choose?" asked.
mo, sir. They have no more right
to pray in front of a mans house aud
disturb a mans peace than they have
to file a saw or grind a h~and-organ !"
"But they have 8 right to 60 away
and pray for DR.. Dunn, if they want
to, haven't they?"
mo sir, not if DR.. Dunn objects.
His name is his own property, and if
he is satisfied that using his name
even among crowds of people so as
to bring odium upon himself, his
family or his business, he can eDjoin
them, and any Judge, if DR.. Dunn
should show proper cause. would
have to grant the Injunction"

w- "Beadle," of the Cincinnati
Commercial, who has paid much at
tention to the temperance movement,
having visited solely for inspection
many of the towns where the work Of
reform has been in progress, in a late
letter makes a careful estimate Of just
how much has been accomplished in
the campaign thus far. He counts
nineteen places where the movement
has been inaugurated. FIVE of which
have rid themselves entirely of saloons.
Altogether some sixty saloons have
been closed, while at least fifteen thous-
and persons of responsible age have
signed the pledge of total abstinence.
"Verily," he says, 'this is progress. In
its rapidity it beats Know Nothings'
and Changers combined"

l@rDr. DIo LEWIS, the originator OF
the women's temperance movement,
opo to visit this State in order to
personally observe the progress of the
struggle. In his letter containing this
information he says:
Whenever | have an opportunity to
meet the brave women who are resting
after the battle, l shall urge them to
establish reading rooms and IN amuse-
ment hall for those who have heretofore
given their spare hours to dram shops.
That will clinch the nail. And the
rum-sellers. they should be encouraged
and assisted to engage in other and bet
ter business They are not the moral
monsters temperance people represent
them. but good hearted fellows general
ly. who are engaged in a money-making
business against which their neighbors
have made 10 earnest protest. We are
all to blame, and now as they lose their
means of living the women who shut
up their shops ought to help them into
a better life. Give them a little kind
encouragement and they will never
think of trying their bad trade again.
Love is omnipotent.
The suggestion about establishing
reading rooms is worthy of considera
ton. We are satisfied that many young
men visit the saloons because they have
no other place to go. Give them a
warm. pleasant room. with good read
ing matter. to which they can go and
spend their leisure hours, and we be
lieve it would become the most popular
place of resort in the city.
