9 The tenpsrspee movement IL GO |
ing on yigoreusly.. The old Law, |
restricting licenses sell intoxi-
eating drinks to those kssping inns, 4
and defining inn kespsrs to be those
persons keeping three beds for the
accommodation Of the public, has
been revived, and ito performance
insisted upon. The big bsef saloon
under the Tribune building put in
three cots, to conform to the law,
and put them in tho lswest cellar.
"A temperance detective, thinking,
that such . concern would not have
the bsds, and that an opening wsuld
be had for . prosecution, went in
last night and demanded lodgings.
"AIl right" said the proprietor,
s'cons dis way" And dswn through
long, winding cellars he took him,
till, in q dark vault, they came to
three cots, of the hardest, meanest
description, and with rats coursirg
over them. "Ysu viii dake No. 1"
said the proprietor; ssgoet night"
And he went away, leaving the de-
tective in plsce from which NO
man unacqaainted with the prem
ises could escape, without = guide.
In a doleful mood he passed the
night, and in the morning paid his
dollar, thinking it cheap, as he had
the company Of the rats. The.
league is working vigorously and
to the point. Wherever they can
catch q liquor dealer mapping, they
bring him 70 book; and, ~ they
have plenty Of money and the best
legal talent in the city, they are &C
com plishing something. The break
ing up Of the rings has lsssehsd
the political pewsr of the gin mills,
and the politicians are willing to,
see them e to the wall. Note for
the benefit Of al kinds Of respseta-
bic psople.) Politicians are begin.
ming to court the favor of decent
people, because the decent people
kicked in the trsces and refused to
follow them, unless they had at least
rs much attention paid to their
wishes Is to the demands Of the rum
sellers. Possibly what is being done
in New York may be proftabiy i'm.
