THE WHISKY WAR.
From the Cadiz Republican

From the Cadiz Republican, May 2l.l
Our report of the second temper
ance crusade at Cadiz closed last
week with the account of the indig-
nation meeting held at the Presby-
terian Church. That was the begin
ming of a movement which in less
than seven days time has closed up
the liquor business in Cadiz in a
manner that will probably keep it
closed. ~ .. .aas sa0lI
The Ladies' Temperance League
commenced work again immediate
ly, with the determination never to
desist until the two liquor stores
were closed effectually. Pickets
were kept at both places, Spencer's
and Vests constantly, from A. o.
clock in the morning until 10 o'clock
at night. An occasional prayer
meeting was held in front Of each
place, and the proprietors were Civ
en- to understand that the ladies in
tended to visit them daily and leave
some Of their number with them all
the time,-all summer, if necessary.
Meantime Mems League had
been organized, composed of eigh-
ty-four of the leading business men
of Cadiz. A fund of$4, 500 was i'm
mediately subscribed, and proceed
ings commenced to prosecute the
two gentlemen who had again open
ed up the liquor business. with
such a force, it was the work of on
ly day or two to hunt up enough
cases of violation of the law to wipe
out both establishments, financially,
and to give each of the proprietors
from six months to year in Jail.
The Mems League was organized
on Wednesday evening of last week.
The pickets from the Women's
League were constantly on guard.
Court was to commence again Mon
day, May 25th. The situation was
a trying one for liquor seller. On
Friday morning, Mr.. West went to
the Chairman of the Mems Execu-
tive Committee and informed him
that he had quit selling liquor, and
would never sell again in Cadiz, and
requested him to state the fact to
the ladies. His saloon was closed,
but the ladies continued to guard 1T
until Monday, when the liquors
were all removed to another room,
locked up, and placed in charge of
the Mems Executive Committee,
subject to Mr.. Vests orders when
he wants to ship them beyond the
limits of Harrison county. Mr.. West
has since sold his property to john
son Clark and c. P. Dewey, and, we
understand, expects to remove from
Cadiz in a few weeks
The same influences referred to
above closed up Spencer & Beatty's
establishment. The drug store is
now offered for sale. Mr.. NJ. j.
Brown, the owner of the building,
had leased the room on the condi-
tion that it should not be used as
place for liquor selling, and he will
not permit it to be so used in the
future.
The temperance organizations will
be kept in working order, and ready
for any emergency that may arise.
One subject under consideration is
the propriety of prosecuting certain
young men of this place, and some
not SO very young, for perjury. 1t
is serious crime, and the punish
ment is a term in the penitentiary.
1t is thought that there will be no
trouble in convicting at least two or
three of those who testified before
The Grand Jury a few days since.

THE NEW FAITH.

the Cleveland Leader threatened
from Washington with such vehe-
mence during the period Of collapse
and disappointment among the in
fiation Congressman Immediately
after the veto, seems to be making
fair progress, although the outlines
and purposes of the new orgsniza-
ton have undergone some marked
changes since a month ago. 1t has
been seen that the revolt against the
imitation policy has been earnest and
general. The new party builders
will accordingly make no direct
stand on that issue, but will await
the course of events and let the fu-
ture decide the character of their
currency plank. For the rest of the
new platform is to be framed as
follows:
III A call for constitutional
convention to effect several changes
in the fundamental laws of the I'm
tied States, among which will be {
the election of President, Vice Pres
ident, and Senators directly by the
people; (b) subordinating all cor
porations to the National Govern
ment; (c) disallowing special privi-
leges to any corporation: (d) add
ing largely to the authority Of the
General Government in the matters
affecting the transportation and
trades Of the country; (e) and
making such banking provisions as
will allow the General Government
to institute banks under its own au-
therity.
a. An immediate agitation fol
committing Congress and the ma
tion at once to the carrying out Of
the scheme of the five great artificial
water routes recommended by the
Transportation Committee of the
Senate-that is, the opening OF
the mouths of the Mississippi,
the connection of the Mississippi
with the lakes, the ship canal around
Niagara, the enlargement Of the
Erie Canal, and the joining of the
James River with the water of Ohio
by canal.
(3.) The construction of at least
two direct freight railways under
the authority of the General Gov
ernment, so as to regulate the charg-
es of the main lines of the coun-
try.
Morton and Logan are to be the
leading members Of the new faith III
the Senat., and strong following
is promised from the House. All
reference to old party lines is to be
sacrificed, and 1t will proceed at
once to build itself up on new and
present issues. There is nothing
surprising in this confidential com
prehepsive scheme. The first thing
that a demagogue does when defeat
ed and humiliated in his own party,
is to invent a new war cry and en-
deavor to found q new organization.
The Morton, Logan, Butler broth
erhood were left by collapse of in.
hation high and dry upon the sands
: of humiliating defeat. For them
there is no more leadership within
the Republican lines. The dema-
gogue element in Congress has had
its day, and the efforts of its lead
ing spirits to stake out a new po-
litical party, aud rear a new stand
ard will fail. The men who cham
pioned imitation can never lead a
snccessful national marty.

first driven to the State Fair
Grounds, thence back past the
Blind and Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lums, to the Penitentiary where they
were shown through by Col. Innis.
After this they were driven to the
Lunatic Asylum, and then to the
Idlotic Asylum, where an elegant
collation. had been made ready for
them. After supper they were
shown through the institution and

test sights we ever witnessed, and
showed what can be done for these
poor children who are so unfortu-

drove to the city arriving there
about eight o'clock. The Associa-
tion held an evening session, at
which it was determined to hold
the next meeting at Columbus on
the 9th and 2Sth of May, 1875. W.
d. Bickham of the Dayton Journal
was appointed to deliver an oration
on the occasion, and A. McGregor,

FANcY SrocK.-The prices of short-horu
stock in this country have reached figures
which seem almost fabulous. This is all
very well for the breeders of pure hlooded
stock, but it places these animals entirely
above the reach of average farmers, Now,
no one questions the superiority of pure
blooded stock, and for breeding purposes it
may, perhaps be well to go further and breed
only from fashionable strains of blood but
for beef producing, the legitimate work of
all except spectators and professional breed
ers, the difference between the stock got by
pure-bloods and that got by good grades is
by no means as great as the difference in the
price of the animals. The best grade cattle
can be obtained for reasonable prices. No
matter how fine the animal may be, hc can
not command a fancy price with any stain
on his pedigree. Such an animal if not as
valuable as a fancy duke, is at least far bet
ter than native animal Nothing is more
needed by farmers than the improvement of
beef stock, and the fact that they can
not afford to get ten thousand dollar bulls
should not hinder them from getting the
best which they are able to obtain, remem-
bering that the difference in price between
a first class grade and an ordinary native
animal often amounts to the difference Of a
profit or loss in stock raising.

We are not disposed To discuss with our
excellent correspondent, whose article will
be found elsewhere, the date Of our Sayiours
birth. That he was born into the world is
the main fact and there are, doubtless, ex-
ceedingly wise, infinitely wise, reasons, why
the exact date was not given by the Evan
gclists. 1t may be well enough for the Chris
tian world to celebrate the birth of Jesus,
but it is better that no fixed day in the cal
endar should attract to itself reverence
that might easily pass over into supersti-
ton. We have always considered the 81
lence Of Scripture on the date of Christs
birth, and on his personal appearance, and
with respect to the seclusion Of his early
life as wise and divine as its speech is on
other topics of more consequence.
The latest investigations, however into
the personal history of Jesus, seem to rem
der it certain" that the 2jth of December
was not his natal day Rev. f. w. Farrar,
Of Marlborough college Cambridge one of
the most learned and eloquent Of the di-
vines Of the English church, in his recent
Life of Christ" says That it was winter
wild, when Christ was born at the end of
b. C.. or the beginning Of b, G. 4, of our
Dionysian era is all but certain, but neither
the day, nor the month, [nor the year, can
be fixed" Clement of Alexandria saysi
"rhey are unskilled who attempt to deter
mine the day"
Rev. c. j. Ellicott, professor in Kings
college London, one OF the most eminent
exegetes in the world, also minister of the
English church, says in his historical lee
lures on the life OF Christ when we Join
with the chronological data which appear
positively to fix the epoch subsequent to he
Jeg6ning Of January considerations derived
from the probable sequence of events, and
the time probably occupied by them, We
may, perhaps, lean to the opinion that early
in February was the time of the Nativity"
We may as well say here that earlier tradi-
tions were anything but unanimous, and till
ranged from January 9th to May 90, and it
was not till then that council Of the church
at Rome decided to accept the 25th Of De
cember, moi as he erdct date but as sufficient
for the purpose We regard it as an indi-
cation Of the Divine wisdom Of the Gospels
so unlike our earthly wisdom in such mat
tiers, as any one can see who reads the Apoc-
yphal Gospels, that not hint is given in
them Of the day OF the Nativity, or the per-
sonal appearance OF Christ. The object Of
Christianity, in part, was to break up the
natural tendency to an undue yeneration for
days, persons, forms and things.

No SUBsrpIEs.-rhe lobby has received
due notice that it cannot get its greedy
fingers into Uncle Sans money box this
session. Although Mr.. IIolman's attempt
to suspend the rules and adopt his resolution
declaring against all subsidies failed in the
House, the vote clearly showed the temper Of
that body in reference to the proposed raids
on the treasury. The matter was brought
up in such a way a, to require a two-thirds
vote for passage and one hundred and forty
nine voted in favor to seyenty-fye against,
thus lacking only one vote. When the reso-
luton comes up in the regularcourse Of bust
ness, it is certain Of large majority in its
favor The only New England members
who voted against it were Butler and
Williams of Massachusetts. Kelley was the
only other prominent Northern member who
voted in the negative, the opposition coming
mainly from the Southern portion of the
House, which appears to be controlled 10y
Butler and Kelley.

Industries Of Women.

Notwithstanding education and custom
have crowded women out of many Of the lu-
cratiye industrial occupations, they have Of
late made rapid strides toward pecuniary
self-support and independence manifesting
that when necessity requires their sex is no
barrier to their fitness and adaptation to
many of the industrial pursuits. The fol-

FRENcH DEcLlNE.-The last French CEN
sus shows falling off in population during
the four years from $500 to 1872 of upwards
Of two millions, or Of half million after
deducting the population of Alsace and
Lorraine, and that without any emigration
TO speak Of. During that time the waste Of
life by the war with Germany and civil war
in Paris was great, but the national increase,
if in the ratio Of the previous six years,
which was eight hundred and sixteen thou
sand year, should have more than compen-
stated for that loss. Nothing can show the
horrors of war, both in the army and the
family, more distinctly than the fact that
during the twelve months from July /, 1870,
to July l, 1871, the number Of deaths ex-
ceeded the average by four hundred and
forty-four thousand one hundred and sixty
six, and the births fell short of the average
by two hundred thousand.
