Begin anew and vigorously the work Of
saving the victims Of drink.
The Temperance people of Texas have
organized Grand Council.
The future of the Temperance work in
Indiana looks bright and promising.
A True Temperance worker is worth
five hundred drones. Find something to
do, and do it.
Close the saloon. Take temptation out
of the way OF the young and also from the
victims of drink.
Sir Matthew Hale stated, two hundred
years ago, that four-ffths Of all the crime
of his day was the direct result of intem-
perance.
Five college branches of the Church of
England Temperance Society were or
nanized in the English Universities during
November, 1880.
In Orient, Long Island, there is not a
liquor shop, and the only hotel has no
bar. For thirty-eight years Temperance
meeting has been held every week in that
village.
Deal gently with those who stray. Draw
back by love and persuasion. A kiss is
worth thousand kicks. A kind word
is more valuable to the lost than mine
of gold.
Three of the Irish Roman Catholic bish-
ops who were friendly to the Sunday Clos
ing Act have broken up Illegal liquor.sel-
ling by refusing TO hear the confessions Of
the law-breakers.
There are 461 Temperance organiza-
tions in Indiana. The largest is the
Evans' Red Ribbon Club, of Evansville,
with membership OF 1900. Gen. Jas.
NJ. Shack leford, President.
Take the telescope of truth and look in
to glass of whisky, and you'll see dying
widows, heart-broken mothers, wailing
orphans, bloodshed, murder, stealing, in
fidelity, ignorance, want, depravity, BIAS
phemy, moral corruption and disease.
A liquor.seller sold pint OF rum ac-
coiding TO law. and made few cents by il.
The drinker while under Its influence, ,sh OF
his son in-law, and made his arrest, I'M
prisonment, trial and execution cost the
county more than 81 900, and yet people
say, what shall we do without the
revenue"
Don't be afraid of enthusiasm. There is
more lack of heart than brain. The world
is not starving for need of education hall
Us much as for warm, earnest interest OF
soul for soul. We agree with the Indian
who, when talked to about having too
much zeal, said: al think it is better for
the pot to boil over than not 10 boil at ALL"
II liquor drinking, however slight, is moi
a wrong, what need have we to license il
Is 1t necessary TO license right? Have we
no other laws of prohibition on our statute
books? Do we say TO the murderer, "You
had better not commit that crime in that
way it is wrong; but il you must commit
it, we will license yon, and then you Cal
worry your enemy to death; but dom
kill him outright" or to the thief, 1T j.
not right to steal we know, but we will Ii
cense you, so that you can do it in bette
style, have the support OF law, and be :
peaceful, law abiding citizen, respected ant
looked up to-"

Whnt Momen Can Do.

Those who heard Mr. Simon last Sunday
evening will remember he read a statement
that IL was the vote Of the freedmen who
had been instructed by woman that se-
cured a prohibitory law to the State of

oUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON. d. c., March 2s, 's1.
That "unoasy lies the head that wears
a crown" is not alone applicable to the
crowned heads OF the world, but will ap.
ply equally as well to Executives of Re.
publics, is evident from the unfavorabe
comments rained down upon the devoted
head of President Garfield by disappoint
ed aud disgrun,l led politicians. Instead of
being healed, the disaffection seems TO be
spreading each day. In the frat place the
New York Senators and stalwart leaders of
that State have raised howl about the
nominations of Robertson and Tyler, for
collectors OF the ports of New York and
Buffalo respectively. 1t does not meet their
appreciation, aud in consequence, trouble
is brewing. Still another rumOr is, that
Attorney-General McVeagh bitterly oppos.
es the confirmation of w. E. Chandler, rs
Solicitor-G General. Should his nomination
be confirmed, a spark will be lit that will
mar the cordiality that sheuld exist in the
Cabinet. Still another sign of approach
ing storm is visible, in the attitude assumed
by the present Solicitor-General Phillips,
and his friends. They can see no reason
dler assume his duties, and the peace offer
Court of Claims, has been Indignantly de.
clined, and so ON down through minor ap.
pointments, the stalwarts have been dissat-
isied, plainly showing that President Gar
fields bed is not to be zone of roses"
The deadlock in the Senate still contin.
ues, and is liable to do so for many days to
come, unless there is let dswn by ole side
or the other. The defeat of any motion to
go into Executive session, will prevent the
confirmation of any nominations sent in
by the President. Senator Malone to-day
makes his speech, and it is looked forward
to with great deal of interest, as he will
attempt to fully explain the readjustment
movement OF Virginia, of which he ia the
champion, and also give his reasons for
adopting the course which he is now pur.
suing.
The Comptroller OF the Treasury decided
Saturday, that the clerks OF the committees
in the Senate were not entitled to pay from
the 4th to the 18th of The present month,
as the committees were not appointed until
the latter date; pretty hard on the poor
fellows, but a resolution of Congress, when
1t meets, will cure the defect. Ex-senator
Windom's adven. ms Secretary OF the Treas.
ury does not show up rs well as that of his
predecessor. Instead of reducing the pub
lie debt by five or ten millions, The Depart.
ment so far is behind in current expenses.
The revenues have not been sufficient to
cover the expenses. March, of last year,
there was reduction OF $l4,0U0,000. The
present deficit is to be accounted for in two
ways, first, the paying out at the start OF
81 900, 900 on the deficiency appropriation,
and secondly, it would seem that collectors
of revenue have been somewhat derelict,
looking more TO the prospect Of retaining
their present positions, than to the per-
formance of their legitimate duties.
The question of an extra session is now
at rest. The President has decided not to
call one. Tom.

FROM BELLvILLE RIDGE.

Ed. JouRNAL;--I presume you have
about come to the conclusion that your
Belleville Ridge correspondent is swamped
In the Wood county mud, or has been
swept away by the recent fioeds. Not 70
Bclleville Ridge Is the only safe place to
be In time Of food, as II is the highest
point in Wood county. The flood has
subsidized somewhat and we are enabled TO
go down into the valley occasionally and
listen to the faint croaking OF the half
frozen frog as he looks out Of his Winter
quarters.
Having not been able 10 get to the vii.
lage OF Perrysburg for some time, lust Sat
urday / determined TO get there at all haE.
ards. Jumping astridc the lid hoss
Charlie" ride Of a half ilc east brought
me TO the cid McCuichenville road, and to
my great surprise as tar as | could see in
the direction Of Perrysburg the road np-
peared dry. found no mud OF any con.
sequence until crossed the corporation
line where found mud TO nll in,ents and
purposes. l do not wish TO reflect upon
the enterprise OF the good people Of your
town, but think the making Of good
streets to the corporation line is an enter
prise which has been sadly neglected.
Spring politics begins to wax hot as the
merits and demerits of the different candi.
didates are being discussed. Skirmishing
has commenced all along the line prepara-
tory to the big fight on the 4th. The long
est pole knocks the persimmons. The
Democrats undoubtedly hold the long pole
in this township but il they are not careful
the Republicans will steal march on
them, cut off the end Of the Pole, and thus
secure that delicious fruit.
Where are all the JOURNAL correspond
ents? Are they mud bound or have they
drifted away with the floods? Perchance
Garfield has given them n posish, and they
are gone TO their respective duties. l cer-
tainly expected 1 would get something, as
j am perhaps the only one among the host
| of JOURNAL correspondents who ever drove
on the canal, but as yet have not receiv-
ed word OF encouragement from the Pres
ident, and have almost given up in de-
spsir.
Can anyone give any clue as to The
whereabouts of Allspice?" When last
heard from he was in Canada and was ex-
pecting then to start for Texas. Did he go
TO Texas, and has he fallen into the hands
iof those Texas Rangers2 Allspice " was
u brilliant young man and we regret to
lose him.
The freezing and thawing weather is
damaging the growing wheat and the young
clover very much. The farmers are trying
10 husk their corn, but it is difficult job
to husk in the mud and water. Yours as
of old, GRIDIRoN.
