The temperance folks of Ohio have
placed themselves in an awkward position
by their own zeal. 81 deep was the con
viction that the liquor traffic was an iniqui.
tous thing, that the people embedded in
the organic law of the state provision that
no license to traffic in intoxicating liquors
should be granted. 1t turned out, howev-
er, that the refusal to license was one thing
and the suppression of the traffic very
different matter The outcome of the CON
shtutional provision was simply to make
the liquor traffic privileged business pur-
suit. At the last session of the legislature
an attempt was made TO restrict the liquor
traffic by means of an act known as the
Pond Liqnor tax law but this was yester.
day declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court of the state on the ground that
it was in the nature of license. The effect
of the constitutional provision is, therefore,
to restrain the temperance men and not the
liquor dealers.
"A regular meeting of the Reform Club
was held at Reform hall on Eighth street
Friday night. A good audience was pres
ent and the meeting was of more than
usual interest, Chief among the routine
business was the consideration of matters
connected with the revival which is to
begin this week, Wednesday, 1t was de-
clded to hold the first meeting at Reform
hall, and subsequent meetings at different
places tn be from time to time designated.
OnESunday next meeting will be held in
oae Of the churches, and will be also held at
the court house. The programme of xer-
cises was also very interesting. Several
short pithy addresses were made by different
members, Miss jennie Wright read q seloc
ton which was received with dcmonstra-
tons of favor; Rev. Scarrett read another
with like effect, and also delivered short
lecture Of much merit. A committee was
appointed whose duty it should be to
select number of songs, and have them
printed in circular form for use at the
revival meetings.
They have had a Chinese Sunday
school class exhibition in New York, The
church was packed 80 densely that none of
the spectators could get out unless those
near the door cleared out first, and they did
not have the same cause to leave that aillic-
ted those in the body of the church. Tho
exercises opened with Chinese music on ma
tive instruments, and the screcching and
piercing sounds were said to be agoni2ing
to the cars of the audience. The the-tho
music produced by the Cairo Chinese
band at the recent Chinese tea party was
like unto the sweet strains produced by an
gel fingers upon heavenly harps compared
to the noise made by this genuine Chinese
orchestra in New York. If the church had
not been so full, itwould soon have been en-
tirely empty, and it is safe to say that none
who had that experience will ever repeat il.
Besides Chinese music and singing, several
members of the class showed their knowl-
edge of our scriptures by rcclting chapters
and passages in English and some spoke
Christian prayers in Chinese. There was
some interest in the recitations, but all pleas.
