Show WHISKY WAR IN GOTHAM. New York, 23. At a Union temperance tem-perance meeting, last night, Dr. Deems said the western women had worked nobly, God bless them for every rum shop they had shut up. Tho rumsellers1 places belonged to the rumsellers, nut the legislative halls belong to the people. The capital at Albany should be surrounded surroun-ded and the legislators sung to and prayed for until they passed laws that would put (.he liquor traffic in the nategory of criminal offences. The Indies of the Union temperance meeting were to do nothing indiscreet, indis-creet, but intended to create an intense in-tense feeling against the liquor traffic. The 'iquor sellers arc to be visited in private, and asked to sign apledge; if they consent to give up their traffic traf-fic the heads of city departments are to be asked to give them employment. Three thousand wonien arc ready to work, and they hope to shake New York lo the very core. |
