CINCINNATI, April IL. What liz known

Ia passing over Central Ohio and In
diana like a tidal.wave. It is noticed as
~ curious fact that in those towns and
villages where the famous woman's cruz
sade Of three years ngo had the greatest
success the number of saloons has ir-
creased and drunkenness has been more
common than before. The plan of oper-
ations adopted by Murphy's followers
Is simple. Nightly meetings are begun
in each town, generally by one or two
persons from Pittsburg, or some point
where the revival has already gained
headway. A thorough movement to Sc
cure pledges is then inaugurated, the
signers wearing badges OF blue or red
ribbons. In several cities Of the size OF
Mansfield, Troy, Xenia, Urbana, ETC.,
nearly the entire male population have
become interested In the movement and
. hundreds of signatures TO the pledge
are added daily. The reformers In
many cases visit the saloons, but st
Msgbt no direct interference with the

The proposed amendment TO the State
constitution recently submitted to tho
Legislature by the Municipal Reform
Commission, providing that the Board
V Of Finance suggested for every city
shall, in cities Of more than 10000 in
! habitants, be chosen by electors who
! for two years preceding the election
! have paid an annual tax on property
owned by them Of an assessed value Of
not less than $500, or have actually paid
: during the same period yearly rent Of
4 not less than $3.50 for premises occupied
= by them for a residence or lawful BUSH
. ness, is exciting a deal Of interest among
people OF all classes in this city.
The registry made last fall showed
:, that there were 1s3,0 900 qualified voters
u In this city. Tt ID safe to put tho num-
Der OF electors at the time this amend
! ment becomes part Of the constitution
> > at 1870, 900. Now, the books In the Tax
. Department show that the number of
) taxpayers on real estate ID about 5000.
:, AS 1000 Of these are non-residents and
y women, the taxpaying voters number
. about $1,000. 1t is, OF course, fmpos-
!, ! sible to tell the number OF men In this
. city who pay an annual rent OF $3.50. It
, is safe TO put ID at 10000. That added
: to the number Of taxpayers makes the
: number Of persons who would under
, this amendment be eligible TO vote for
!, financial officers $1,000. On this basis
% Of computation $4,000 otherwise quail
fed electors would be prevented from
e voting for the proposed Board OF Fin
