IN CHICAGO. THE TEMPERANCE BUREAU. Tho election Inst fall scems to have discourag- od the Temporance Burean, and constrained tho mombora to tho conclusion that itis utterly hopoless to attompt reform ina cosmopoliten olty ke Chicago. Thore has in ronlity beon nothing for them to do; but the frionds of tho caugo thoy reprosent think that they should at loast by resolution show their sympathy for the women's crusade agaiust the saloon-keepers. ‘Tho Committeo of Seventy have hold a number of privato conferences latoly, and discussed a plan for a ** Co-oporative Tempotanca Bocloty.”" but beyond that have maintained silence. No documonts having been fesucd sinco the eleo- tion,and, no reference boing mado to tho Burcsu by any ono, an improssion provalod that it had subsided—that the Oummitteo of Boventy had become disgusted, and lot it dia without an effort to savo its lifo and rostoro the encrgy and con- fidonce which charactorized it last Scptember. A TRIUNE reporter called at_tho hendquarters yostorday,and found thas tho Bureau was still in ‘oxistonce, but was n o state of MASTERLY INACTIVITY, Tlo algo found Mr. Kolly, tho Manager, seat- od nlt big douk, conning a law book on * Bank- suptoy. n'dv the roporter: *‘Nr. Kall'v' how s tho Temperanco Bureau gottin ulungl A Mr. Kolly—Nothing 18 being dono except at- touding to tho cases in court. COURT OABES. Roportor—Cascs of what nature ? Mr. Kelly—Givil prosscutions for damages on account of sclling intoxicaling liquors to diunk, arde. . Reporter—How many of such cagos are pond- ing? filr. Kolly—Thers is only ono of them left. Roportor—What has become of the otliors? Ar, Reliy—Somo of them have bheen tried and dismitaod, and others aro waiting the deois- don of tho Suvema Court, Roportor—\What about tho oriminal cases? Mr. Kolly—Nothing has been dono since the election, Roporter—Will the saloon-keepers found guilty snd imprisoned and reloased upon & supersedoas bo tried again? r. Kelly—That is something Mr, Reed can toll you botter than L. 1t is his duty to attend to tliem, No other parson cau afford to give his timo to the cases, Itis doubtful, however, if the men are over arraigned again ; the ovidence is seattored, and it would be less exponsive to get up now casos. S OUT OF WORK. Roportor—Are you not cmployed by the Burcau now to prosecuto mon who violato the Liqguor laws ? ; Mr. Kelly—Not nt present. Reporter—When did igur cceupation censo ? Mr, Keliy—{ have done notbing since tho election, Reportor—That olection scems to have do- morahized tho Bureau. Mr, Kolly—I do not think so. WAITING TO BEE. Reportor—Do tho Committeo not think it use- less to attempt to fight the wmloon-keepers in view of its result? Mr, Kolly—I belleve they agreed by genoral wonsont to await the dovelopmont of events. > Reporter—Be a littlo moro explicit. 3ir. Kelly—Wall, to soo what would be brought foith by tho liquor party. We bavo been waitlng to seo whothor they would ropeal the Sunday ordinauce. Roportor—Thoro secms to bo & atrong proba- bility of thelr doing 8o ? Mr. Kolly—Yes, unless the womon get after thom noxt Friday or Saturdav. TReporter—Do the ladics intond to pray for the Aldermen in the Conucil Charuber ? Mr. Kelly—They are to hold a meeting to- MOrTOW. Reporter—But do you understand that thoyare to plead specially with the Aldermen not to ro- poal the Bundsy law ? Mr. Kelly—I' think it will bo decided there what they will do—whether they will approach the Aldermen individually, or send 1u petitions ngainst tho repeal, THE NEXT ELECTION. §' Reporter—Has the Committee any idea of run- ning a ticket at the noxt election ? Mr. Kolly—I am unable to state what action will bo taken, Ali seem to have o firm convic- tion that the Poopla’s purty will play itsclf out, and that thero will be an orgenization which r“lll socure law and order and decency in the fu- ro. Reperter—They will not take an aclive part in the town elections next month? Mr. Kelly—No. They are given over to tho devil, aud would do no good. Reporter—Is the Burcau doing nothing what- sver CO-OPERATIVE TEMPERANOE. Mr. Kolly—Tho membors are discussing the fensibility of ostablishing & co-operativa Tom- perance Burgan, Roportor—\What will be its objeot ?—to ald the women? Mr. Kelly—Not at all, It has more of a mer- cautile character—to establish stores, to assist mombors out of employmont, and relieve tho gick. It will be similar to tho co-operative soct~ wtics in Europe. Reporter—With whisky and boer tabooed ? Mr. Kolly—Yes. Topustor—When will it bo established ? Mr. Kolly—I cannot tell, All the temperancs pocleties are intorested, and thore will bo a meeting hore to-night. AIDING THE WOMEN. Reporzer—poos the Bureau iutend to aid the pmvmfi\rnmen ? Mr, Kelly—We will aid them in evory possiblo way. Reporter—Possible is rather indefinite, Mr. Kelly—Waoll, in every way that promises practical rosnlts, Reportor-~Havo they askod you to co-operate with thom ? X Mr. Kelly—No. I holiove the mombors feel that Chicago is not hurdly up for such s move- mont; that is, that schemes similar to those now carrying out in the small towns in Ohio would not wotk here, Thoy would not be suc- cessful, Beuides, in the places where the womon bave been most successful, theie is & deep religions foeling,—the people know ono another, sud oro friondly, and personal influ- anco gOCs B grent Way. Ropooter—Am 1 to iufor trom that that Ohi- oago is not a relgious city ? , Kelly—I did not say so. DOUNTS. Reportor—Dut you thiuk tho movement would fizzle hare ? Mr. Kelly—Its auccess is morely a matter of vrneu]nl.iuu. 1 should bo sorry to say anything that would impedo the succoss of tho movotnent, but, at tho same timo, I think cousiderable preparatiou I8 necessaty. I{]oporlor—-—tl‘hu piesont, then, is nat tho time to bogin 2 Mr?lmly—flo + more proparation ia neceded, Taportar—What kind of proparation ? 14r. Kelly—Enthusiasm must bo increased aud earnostuoss manifostod. Reporter—How can you croate moro excite- mout than thore is? Mr, Kolly—I seo no_other way than to hold meotings ~ They will warm up tho triends thoroughly, Reporter—Doos the Burosu intend to hold any? g[r. Rolly—It is hardly the duty of the Bureau 10 do wo, T the renson that the movement was wtarted by tho womon, and they should be allow- od to run it thomsolvos if thoy sro to be tho ac- Alve pacticipants i it, Raporcer—Do you not think the Bureau should ald aud encourugo them ? Mr, Kelly—Certaluly ; and we will do 8o it in &ny way they wish us to, QUITE A MISTAKE, Reportor—I should judge from your conversa- tlon aud manner that tho olection last fall had laced the mombers of the Bureau ou their acks, and 8o distressnd them that thev wore aslinimed to attempt to got on their fest agaln sud show theniselves to the community, : Ay, Kelly~Xuu are autiroly mistuken. All of tho Committes of Baventy who took part in that elegtion have oxprossod Lhomas.ves as willing to ronew the conflict when the right time nirives; but there has boonnotling to do up to the pres- ont momont. CO-OPERATIVE TEMPERANCE. A second mooting of partics intorosted in the formation of & Co-operative Temporauce Assool- ation waa hold yostorday evoning in tho offios of the Tomperanco Bureauy, No. 170 Esst Adams atroot, Tho obair was takon by Mr, John Liv- ':"“m'x’hmiuwfimlwri hfil aoting aa Bocro. Ary. or tho minutes of the last ting boon rend, Mt 3T Or Holty sood i mooting had CONBTITUTION AND DY-LAWSA which had boon drawn up for tho consideration of tho meoting. 'Tho Couatitution showoa that the objoct of tho Association was tho binding togothor of tho boliovers in abatinonco for mu- tual bonofit and on!nymont. 1t provided for tho formation of commitices on momborship, stores, rolief, branoh organizations, labor and employ- ment, and justico, With regard to the oco- oporative iden, it Buggested that the Hocloty start a storo as soon as practionblo, and soll goods to mombera st an advanco of 10 per cont on the coat. Discussl subjeot, cusslon botog Luvited upon this MTL, WILLIAM WRIGHT addressed the moeting, atating that ho thought that tho 10 Xer cont profit was too small a per- contago, and suggestod that, bofore tho rato of advance upon cost was fixod, it would bo woll to consult with the manngersof co-operative in- stitutions n the old country. GENERAL DISCUSBION. Mr. Paxton gavo bis expericnco of the co- onorative systom carried on in England. Lo never was practically connected with ono of tho sociotios, but ho could see no roason why the tomperance peopla could uot got uYI n succotisul co-operative socloty. - The main thing to look nfter was tho soouring of an honest man to run the businesa, Mr, Bmith did not think that the 10 per cont arrangoment was a good ono. In England the moat successful co-operative sesociations suld their goods at the same pricos as tho opposition shops, and gave each purchaser & chock showing the valuo of the smnhnnu, in proportion to which quartorl ividonds wora paid. Ho thought that Chicago was peculiarly adapted to tl:u formation of & successful co-opoeranve sasoel- ation. Mr, Vaudey was strongly in favor of tho idos propounded. In Rochdale and Bradford, En- glirh towns, there were veiy large cn-ngmutivc associations. Mr. Mnson, of Tue CmicAco T'n1puNE, had visited theso placos and could tes- tify to their utflh{ aud tho oxtont of tho busi- rees, After alittlo further discussion, tho Con- gtitution and Dy-Laws woro, on adopted. mot fon, WITEN TO DEGIN, On motion, it was declded that, as soon as 200 signaturen to the Coustitution wete prooured, & moeting bo hold at which officors might bo elected, On motion, it was decided to bo the eenso of the mnctinillmt, a4 6500u a8 500 mpgnatures were procuroc, the co-operativo storo ba opened. The gontlemen prosent wora thon called upon to sign the Constitution, which was dono by all, maki ni thirteen mignatures se the nuclous of what they hops to becomoe a wide-spresd and ueoful organization, It was decided that the next meeting be beld Thuraday evomng vext at the eamo place, which oll intercsted ato invited to attend.
