PETITION TO CONGRESs.-The Womans
National Christian temperance Union,
has adopted an excellent memorial to Con
"ress. and commented it to lis State
Unions. Measures for i thorough canvass
for signatures, OF women over eighteen
years of are. have been adopted by the Ia
dies of the union in Franklin county. and
We suppose the work is general through
out the state. The memorial asks First.
for Il commission To investig ,te AMI report
on the effect Of alcoholic liquors on ali
the vital interests Of the people, Il measure
so important and reasonable. We think.
cannot long be delayed. Indeed. it w,s
nearly a success Il year ago. it having
passed the Seu;lte. and only failed in
the House because it could not be
reached before final adjournment. The
second AMI third articles ask Congress TO
prevent the inIpol tition Of liquor from for
eign committeeman tho manufacture and
sale Of them in all places where it has ex-
elusive Legislation
Preposterous. impossible. says one:
But is it not right and just-the objector
being Judge? Then press it. The very
prayer persisted in from year to year will
