TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

THE TIDAL WA YE OF TEMPERANCE. There seeais to be an unnsal amount of activity among tbo friends of Temperance at the present time. This activity is aaanifest, in one form or another, in nearly all parta ef the conn try.

Bo

far as can be discerned it is

largely spontaneous in its nature. It is true that there have been temperance lectures and temperance meetings, probably more than usual. But these are the result rather than the cause of this unusual interest, though, of course, in turn they become causes also. Meetings bave been held because the people wanted them, and were ready to attend. Dio Lewis claims that he has proposed bis "prayer cure" many times before, but never found the soil, the public mind, prepared for it. Efforts have been made to hold temperance meetings in this community uelore, but not in a long time have so many been beld, or those that were held so well attended as now. Evidently we are upon a higb wave of public interest in temperance, a kind of temper ance revival.

Most prominent among the forms which this public awakening assumes, is what is termed the "Woman's War against Whisky." This is a movement probably, which has been more praised and more cursed, which is looked upon with greater honor and greater con tempt, with greater hope and greater fear, than any other ever inaugurated. It probably is not the unmixed good which its most ardent advocates think, and oertainly is not so entirely of the devil as many of its opponents would make out.

It ia a most natural uprising of woman against a foe that has given her more pain, and anguish of heart, than almost any other. We know two women in this city of social standing as high as that of any here, of superior Intelligence and refinement, modest and unassuming, and advanced in years beyond the fifties, who openly declare tbeir readiness to enlist ia this war and inaugurate the movement here. Neither of these women is a church member. The reason for their eagerness for the fray te found in the fact that each has a son ruined by intemperanoe. The case of these is the case of thousands and t$ns of thousands In the land. Mothers, wivea, and sisters whose fondest hopes have been blasted, and their heart's strongest affections been put to the most terrible torture, are ready for any thing that holds put the least hope of checking the evil of intemperance. It is easy to say to them that It is the drunkatdM' own fault that he drinks that the sin lies at his own door. But when these sons, husbands, and brothera bave become diseased so that it was well nigh, or quite, impossible for them to control their appetltea, they have aeen men rosdy to sell them that which they knew was working their ruin, and it is not strange that their wrath has been turned against Ibe business which, as they think, either ruined their loved onea in the first place, or prevented their recovery from ruin when it seemed possible. When we think of what woman has suffered from intemperanoe it ia not atrange that she files to this new movement In hope of relief. And there are comparatively few papers that have a^^en in any but respectful terms of the women engaged in this warfere. A fsw sneer, but not many. 11m movement can be kept within such bounds aa to be perfectly proper. There certainly ia nothing improper in a woman's going to a liquor seller and begging him, for the sake of her ohil dren or husband, or tor the sake of the community, or fbr hla own sake, to give up the business which she believes to be wrong, and barmtal to all concerned. If ahe Is in earneat about the matter, then oan b* nothing wrong in her praying God lo show him his dnty aad help him perform it, and that too even in his own house or store, uul««a he objects. If one may do this within the feoonds of propriety, so may tea, fitly or a few mired. If, however, they aim ply use prayer and singing, to keep away hla customers and compel him to Bur reader then we four that ndigion is in danger of being brooght into diarepata It would be joat as offieetive, and more reverent, tor the woman, under each circasnsta&ces, to taks their knittin* and apeed tfes day, as to go with pr*y*r and song. Whether the movameat la a proper one depends entirely ttjXMi the nuaaar In which la oondactsd, aad the motives which prompt it* It may be made one of the holiest cmsadeaever engaged In, aod it may be made the rwversa. Tfcuaffcritesefna generally, thoagh not always, te fcavs fceaa carried an la a batter apt (it than ooaVd have bean axptntedL TMa we

believe accounts tor its wonderful efl*

clency. Whether it will speedily degenerate, as many predict, remains to be seen. There is danger of it, and yet the danger may be avoided.

One of the singular results?of the movement has been, in many instances, to sJve the women and liquor sellers a greater reapect for each other. The women started oat with fear and trembling, expecting refusals of admittance, cursing, and perhaps vile taunts, jeers and jests. Instead they have been politely treated, admitted to the sal6ens, seats were provided, and their services end their requests treated with reapect. The result baa been that they have carried away the conviction that the saloon keeper is not the heartless wretch they had supposed, and they have gone oat with the feeling that be ia too good a fellow to be in this business.

On the other hand the saloon keepers expecting to be treated to a scolding, a fanatical harangue followed by a fanatical and abusive prayer, have been surprised by the kindness of the treatment, and by the spirit of the prayers offered, and in many lostanoee have found their eyes filled with tears, and have bidden the women farewell with a hearty respect for them and for their religion. If these two classes could oftener be brought together in friendly cenversa tion it would be better for both.

What will come of this movement it is hard to predict—that is, with any degree of certainty. Predictions are as numerous and as various as can well be imagined. Of course the liquor dealers predict that it will result in an increase of liquor drinking, and yt£ *hey fight it, aa they always do those temperance movements which are to increase their business. Many temperance people doubt if any permanent good will come from it. Others believe it to be the forerunner of the temperance millenium. It seems certain that it is doing an important work In creating public sentiment against the liquor business and liquor drinking. These are things which only need to be talked about in order to bave public sentiment against them strengthened. This movement has led to a vast amount of thinking and talking. E 'en if, in the end, the sober second thought of the people should be against this movement, publie sentiuifiit in favor of suppressing, or at least in favor of more carefully restraining this business, will be made stronger and more general. It may be that there will be created a publio opinloh in favor of temperance legislation sufficiently strong to induce offi cials to execute the laws enaoled, instead ot winking at violations, and carefullv studying how not to execute or make fficient these laws.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. To-morrow will be the anniversary cf the birth of George Washington. He is dead 1 He was a great and good man* and his death will be sincerely mourived. Now that he is gone be will probably be missed by *a large circle of friends. There are lessons taught by bis life which all of us can learn with profit. We will not enumerate them. They are better known already than practiced.

George Washington did not support Grant's administration, and although we praise him warmly now, if be had lived and been a democrat, and we a Republican editor, or had we been a Democratic editor, and be a Republican, we should have considered it our religious duty as a ronscientiens journalist and former of public opinion to declare that he was a black-hearted scoundrel, so saturated with corruption, so steeped in ali manner of iniquity, that the sooner he was bustled into a dishonorable grave ths sooner would the political atmoaphsre be purified, and the oountry be made aafe.

IF the Grangers follow the advice of their head man at the convention held in St. Louis, and sympathise with his sentiments generally, they will win the approval and sympathy of all rightminded citizens, and will get much substantial benefit from their organisation. The original purpose of the grange movement was "to improve the moral worth, the mental powers and social culture of the agricultural daaees," snd this man urges fidelity to this purpose. He also urges co-operation, which ia sensible. He distrusts State legialation, but thinks some good would come from a regulation of flares, A®., by oongress. He has small opinion of those who are "interested la agriculture as the hawk Is interested ia the sparrow," or, in pther worA, he does not believe in admitting to granges those who com* with a political ax to grind. Altogether Mr. Dudley Adams seems to be a very sens! bis sort of a man.

Tas West responds to the East in silliness on the woman question. Just as the School Board at Hub bad declared that the women elected to places in that body,should not be permitted to serve, the doctors up in Minnesota refuse to admit a woman to their Society, although she came with a diploaoa from a Medical College and with testimonials as to skillfuloess in the profession. And what makes their action particularly disgraceful i»

the fact that

one year ago they resolved to admit applicants regardless of race, sex, or eolor. But then there is some excuse for them, for, as one of tbeir number said, they couldn't tell as good stories if

women were present. Boston sends greeting to the Minnesota doctors and thanks them for making such asses of themselves or ought to do-so.

THS railroads of Minnesota, extending 175® miles, did not earn enough last year to pay running expenses, and interest on tbeir bonds, by nearly 11^000,O0& Seven roads in that State did not even pay running expenses. And of the land whiett bad been given these roads by the government, they were not able to sell enough to meet the deficiency. What a set of bloated aristocrats the holders of railroad stock ap there must be. The truth of the matter is, that, except for gambling aad swindling purposes, railroad stock is about the poosest kind of property a man can hold. And it is rapidly growing no better. If things continue i» the same direction aa at present it will be a bettes-jok»ftv a man to say that he is not so pooo as to own stock in this or that railroad»tban the old oue about not being so. poor as to own much of that land.

OUR MAIL BAG.

The Chicago Int»r-Ocean says of the !platform of the-Grangers: 'It ia seldom that a more able document is submitted to the public. It ia earnest without being abusive, eloquent without bombast, anei comprehensive without being tedious.

The Cleveland Leader says of the proposition te-enlarge the Wabash and Erie Canal aad extend it to St. Louis: 'We believe that there have been crazier schemes than this urged upon Congress, but not often, and, it is pleasant to remember, never before by Ohio.'

The Pittsburgh Democrat pNintively inquires: "Wouldn't it be well to have a resur.ection some day of the Demcratic Centsal Co mm tee? It will take a mighty big blow and a mighty big born to wake them up. Yet we think it can be done, if only the right angel gives the toot."

The Grand Rapids Saturday Evening Post Bays: "The crusade, as conducted by the women of Ohio, is doubtless in violation of the law in many respects. If the Ohio ladies had the privilege of casting their ballots at the polls, they could render much more effective service to the temperancc cause, and in a manner much more becoming and dignified.

The St. Louis Democrat says of the platform of the Grangers: "The specific objects enumerated by the platform are above criticism. No one can reasonably object to anything that ia proposed. Tha reference to railroads, corporations and middle-men te temperate In language, and calculated to remove tbe prejudice which has has hitherto existed agalast the grange movement."

Of tbe Patrona of Hasbsndry tbe New York Mail says: "An organisation so vast, so well disciplined, so harmonious, and so powerful, is more than a fresh wonder and eubject for specula tion. It represents tbe dswning of a pew era in our political life, the refresh ing of tbe stale and foetid atmosphere of dying partisanship with a vigorous gsle of genuine popular sentiment, and the reconstruction of parties, so as to comprehend a new elwment?^"™^

Alluding to tbe woman's movement for the suppression of intemperanoe, the New York Post says: -'When the women of a community rise up is arms against any peculiar kind of business it is safe to infor that there Is some monstrous evil to be removed. Women however radical in opiniona, are always oonservstire ia aottoa, aad they do not pray out of doors on tbe Ice for any trivial reason. For suoh revival of sound moral aentiment, however irregularin its manifestation, here oan be ao other feeling than that of respect."

Speaking of tbe women's temperanee cruaade, tbe Cincinnati ChuceCte ssys: "It rifees up public sentiment, seal, enthuataam, and influence which unite the community in the cause, and which will make drinking diarenuUble. In this it seems to us will be Its great aod permanent effects. It also baa Immediate success in suppressing the traffic, and In making that obnoxious. It will be of little avail for trader* to reeist thia crusade. They will find it hard to contend at law against the united women of the community aad besides their trade is itself Illegal, aad theretore baa no atandiag gtoaad to fight upon."
