The Reform Clubs nj the East.


A temperance reform, says the Cincin-
natl Gazette, as remarkable in its way as
the so.called Washingtonian movement
thirty.fve years ago, is spreading through
the New England States. In some places
i: is connected with religious revivals, in
others it is confined to abstinence from
intoxicating drinks. 1t seems to have
arisen spontaneously in several localities,
from which other localities have drawn
their Inspiration. In the fishing town OF
Gloucester, Mass, 5000 persons have
signed the pledge during the past few
months, and 2,S0O-mostly men Of drink.
ing habits-have joined the reform clubs.
olly thirty.two Of tho whole number
have thus far proved false to their
pledges. In Portsmouth, New Hamp.
shire, over 1000 members have been
added to a reform club during the two
months Of its existence, and gains
hardly, II any less rapid, are reported Of
the clubs in other cities and towns. The
work is largely confined to the class per.
'onally benefited by abstinence, and thus
far no disposition has been manifested to
ally it to prohibitory or any other legis.
Iation. The leaders seem to feel that IL
they and their associates are to be freed
from the evils Of intemperance they must
resist their diseased appetitCs and not
look to law for deliycrance. The move.
asat has already made such headway
that our Eastern exchanges are devoting
Considerable space to record Of its de.
'elopmena. We have seen no adverse
criticism, for whatever view one may
take Of the best way of dealing with the
liquor traffic, no one can object to the
Voluntary reformation Of drunkards.
