THE Temperance women Of this city
have organized League and adopted a
Constitution having the following Pream-
BILE:


In view of the enormity of the liquor
traffic, the wide spread and fearful ravaees
OF lntemperance in our land, and the con-
sequent misery of thousands of our own
sex, we deem it the right and duty of every
woman as member of the home circle
winch IS so often and so ruthlessly invaded.
as member Of society, and as being who
must give an account Of her stewardship to
GOD who is no respecter of persons, to
use all the influence she possesses, or NAV
consistently obtain, in the cause of Temper-
ance.


When women are mobbed for presenting
petitions to men as in Chicago, when they
are stoned for offering prayer to God, az
In Cleveland, when they are everywhere
treated as if they have no business to Mead
or protest, in matters that concern them
most deeply, it is time to consider whether
they have all the rights which are neces-
sary for the protection of themselves and
the children which God may give them.


We are told that home is woman's sphere
yet, as Christian women, we cannot QUIET
ly settle down in happy homes without a
desire to remove the destroyer that is max
ing so many Of our sisters homeless.


We realize that the responsibility of
motherhood is very great, but, while it
modlhes, it cannot cancel ones obligations
as wife, sister. daughter or friend.


By the depth Of maternal tenderness and
solicitude, by the strength of wifely devo
tion, fillial affection and sisterly love, and
also by our loyalty to the Government of
the United States, we claim the ripht to
protest and petition against the sale of in
toxicating liquors, and we call upon all
honorable men to say that our petitions
shall not be disregarded.

receded, but even if every foot of the now
flooded land were to be drained dry to-
morrow, the owners and occupants thereof
would not be relieved of their distress.
Their wants would then increase, for they
would need garden seed, cotton seed, seed
corn. stock, implements and everything to
enable them to replant. Money bestowed
at such juncture and for such purposes
ceases to be charity; it is wise, sensible
and necessary investment on tho part of the
people of this city. We regard it as duty
that the people here owe to themselves to
take steps to enable the planters to lift
themselves out of their present deplorable
condition. The relief that is being afforded
now is simply temporary. 1t is to enable
the people to sustain life until they are in a
position to rep)ant their corn, cotton and
vegetables and once more become self sus-
tanning and independent producers in the
land.


1t must be admitted that our people here
have been most generous and liberal, and
that, too, when they themselves are in
straitened circumstances. But they should
not falter in their exertions. 1t is matter
of paramount necessity that the sufferers
