Temperance Movement in Ohio.
THE temperance people of Ohio are circulating for signatures two petitions, of which the following are copies:— 1. “We, the undersigned, in full belief that the Second or Prohibitory Amendment submitted by the late Legislature to the vote of the people on October 9, 1883, received a very large number of votes which, for reasons unmentioned, were not recorded, most respectfully and earnestly urge upon your honorable body the propriety and equity of submitting to the vote of the people a single proposition, to so amend the Constitution that the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage shall be forever prohibited within the State; and should the amendment be adopted on the second Tuesday of October, 1885, that the Legislature upon that day elected, shall, at its first session, enact a law for the enforcement of such amendment.” 2. “Believing a thorough temperance education will greatly aid children and youth in resisting temptation, we, the undersigned, respectfully petition your honorable body to enact a law requiring, in all schools supported by public money or under State control, instruction in Physiology and Hygiene, which shall give special prominence to the effects of alcoholic drinks, stimulants, and narcotics upon the human system.”
