The Temperance Question.
BELFAST, Feb. 20, 1874.


The Temperance question at pres
ent, seems to be the all-absorbing
topic, and it would no doubt be a
good thing to direct our attention
towards Columbus, and see what
that august body, known as the Ohio
Legislature, is doing on this ques-
ton.
It is known that a German mem
Der, from Cleveland, has introduced
a bill for the repeal of the Adair
Liquor Law. It would therefore be
in order for Temperance Republicans
of this county, who voted for our
present Representative, to keep a
sharp eye on the doings of said Rep
sentative, and see if be fulflls GER
tain promises made during the cam
paign, relative to the Adair Law.
It is also known that we have
been represented for two years past
by firm friend of said law, and that
to-day a large majority of the people
of this county would vote against the
repeal of said law. Let us spot eV-
cry member of the Legislature who
votes for the repeal of the law, and
remember them at the polls in the
future.
A short time since we noticed that
the Supreme Court of Indiana had
desided the liquor law of that State
unconstitutional. Since we read the
article Of J. A. Bergman, of that
State, IN the News of Feb. II, we are
not at all surprised at said decision,
taking said correspondent as a fair
representative of the State.

Dio Lewis,s Return.


DIR. Dio Lewis arrived here from
Cincinnati last Saturday forenoon,
and went direct from the cars to the
Temperance prayer meeting, where
he met most enthusiastic reception
and made few remarks. After din
ner all the church bells rang peal
to apprise the people of his presence
and that he would speak at night in
Music Hall. In spite of the rain the
Hall was crowded, and the Dr. g ap-
pearance on the stage where just two
months ago he started the most won
derful Temperance reformation of the
age was the signal for prolonged and
vociferous applause. He attempted
no set speech, but gave o succession
of short talks" inhis own inimitable
style, interspersed with music and
short speeches from our home speak
ers whom he called out. He compli-
mented our women on their heroism
and their respect for law, in obeying
the injunction, though illegal. He
said he dare not undertake to advise
them-they had shown that they did
not need any advice from men. The
work was theirs alone, and to them
he was willing to leave it, under Di-
vine guidance. q
The meeting closed at late hour,
and the DR.. good-naturedly under
went the ordeal of a general and
hearty hand d-shaking with many of his
warm admirers of both sexes.

ing at the NJ. P. Church, called Union
Meeting House, which resulted in %
additions to the church and 35 happi-
ly converted to God. All the church
members were greatly blest, and en-
couraged to go on in the good and
glorious cause for which they are
battling. Give God the glory for
what he is doing all over Highland
county. A FARMER.

The Graphic and Dr. DiO Lew

The New York Graphic is an ex-
cellentz paper, and we do not believe
its editors would Intentionally mis-
represent any one, even an opponent.
We desire therefore, to call their at
tention to a gross mistake into which
they have fallen, (no doubt inadver-
tently) in reference to DR.. Dio Lewis
and the Women's Temperance cru
sade in Ohio.
In recent editorial they state that
DR.. Lewis waited until the women
got fairly started, and then hastened
to Ohio to place himself at the head
of the movement and claim oil the
credit of having set it on foot. Now
''the truth of history" requires il
should be known, that on the 23d
day Of December, 1873, DR.. Lewis
first suggested the movement to the
women of this town of Hillsboro, in
a lecture which he delivered, and that
was the first beginning of the move
ment in this State. The credit o.
originating the movement therefore
clearly and justly belongs to DIR. Lew
is, and we call upon the Graphic tc
make the dnae,ede honorable.

DIR. DIo LEWIS was taken over to
Greenfield last Sunday in carriage,
by our young friend, II. B. Higgins,
expecting to take the train for Gin
cinnati, where he was to talk to the
Bethel Sunday School in the evening.
Before the gentlemen reached Green
field they were met by horsemen sent
out to apprise DIR Lewis that the peo-
pie were assembled in one of the halls,
anxiously awaiting his arrival and de
termined to have a speech. The DIR
good naturedly yielded, and finding
that the train was two or three hours
late, owing to the track being injured
by the rains, he proceeded to the hal
and addressed the large audience, tc
their intense delight and edifcation
Whether the DIR. reached the city thai
night in time to fill his engagement
we have not heard, but consider il
hardly probable that he did. oD q

"FIOra'' to DIR. J. A. Berry
BELFAST, Feb. 19, 1874.
Let me quote for my friend Ber-
ryman, the language of that noble old
Roman; ''It is not that I love Caesar
less, but that I love Rome more" It
is not that I love the Republican par
ty less, but 1 love the cause of Tenn
perance more. 1 love it better than
all parties. AS an old Freesoiler, I
united with the Republican party,
because one of it's main objects was
the emancipation of the slave. Hove
it for that, and shall always love it.
Having secured his inalienable
rights to the colored man, my next
object was to save my fello-wman
from the slavery of Intemperance,
and as neither the Republicans nor
Democrats, at their State or Nation
al Conventions, put any plank in their
platforms favoring war on the de-
mon of Intemperance, 1 felt under no
obligation to support either party's
candidates. But I have made it O
rule to vote only for such men as I
thought would most advance the
cause of Temperance, without regard
to party.
What I do, I do from a sense OF
duty toward God and man. 1 think
we have been party slaves too long,
thereby letting the arch-enemy OF all
good steal march on US. I hope
will never see the day that I shall get
so low that I cannot tell the truth
about my friend or opponent, orgive

act. ...... ...--s.-

We are reliably informed that the
Collier brothers, of Salem tp., who
have for years past annoyed the bet
ter portion of community by selling
liquor, have both yielded to the earn
est persuasions of their Temperance
neighbors, and pledged themselves to
quit the traffic from this time forth.
We believe there is now not single
place in the township where liquor is
sold. So the good work goes on.

Temneranca Nraffers.

Our Temperance people are greatly
encouraged by the result of the in
junction trial, although of course they
would have preferred to have the in
junction dissolved upon the merits of
the case rather than upon a technical
error, as it was. Still they feel well
assured that the result would have
been the same, had the decision been
given on the the law and facts, after
a full hearing, and that the victory is
substantially on the side of our noble
women. The liquor sellers also evi-
IDENTIFY regard it as a severe defeat,
which is the harder to bear because
they were so confident of q different
result 1t is said that they indulge
freely in language the reverse of
complimentary in regard to their
much-vaunted champion, Judge SAT-
ford, and denounce his management
of the case as miserable failure!"
During the continuance of the trial
the daily Temperance prayer-meet-
ings were suspended for several days,
but they have been resumed this week,
and will be continued until further
notice.
What the future movements of the
women viii be we are not informed,
bnt we are satisfied they do not in
tend to cease or relax their efforts un-
til the great work is accomplished, to
which they solemnly pledged them
selves in the outset, namely, the en-
tire suppression of the liquor traffic
in our midst. May success speedily
reward their labor of lovel

most of our merchandise markets during
the week which it is hoped may be the
calm preceding the storm OF the spring

much change in prices. Wheat has ruled
a little lower, and closes quiet under an am

mand which exists. Corn has ruled easier,
but closes with a fair demand and steady
Oats have been quiet, and little lower,
with free offerings. Whisky has been un-
settled, and closes one cent lower than
week ago. Groceries have been less aet1ve, ~,
and coffee has declined 1c. per pound. Inc
provision market has been depressed, but at
the lower prices current a fair business has
been done for cash and for future delivery.

VIII the editor of the Gazette in
form US how many of the members
of the Bar of this county declined to
aid in the process of ''whitewashing"
the '4ate" Judge Stafford? Our infor-
nation is that several of the more
prominent members either opposed
the resolutions, or refused to have
anything to do with them. Yet from
the manner in which they ara sent
forth, the impression is evidently
sought to be made that they express
the UNANIMOUS voice of the bar.
