Sumptuary Laws.

Democratic camp, by what he evil
IDENTIFY regards as the fanatical
hordes of prohibition Cloths and
Vandals. His editorial gun, full
charged, is aimed at certain Demo
cratic newspapers, notably the
Point Pleasant Register, for taking
grounds in favor of Prohibition.
Bro. Brazie says:
. 1--WE have been taught to believe
that the Democratic party was the
party of "liberty in all things" a
party that was in opposition to re-
strictive measures, and against
sumptuary laws; and in favor of
that liberty of thought, action and
conscience which constitutes the
heritage of freemen. Why it has
become necessary to lug into the
party and make part Of our platform
principle so foreign to politics is
what is a mystery to u.s."
LII is even 1unnlor Illdn u udnu-
organ with monkey attachment, to
observe these old fog-horns sound
ing the alarm against the invad-
ing hordes of reformers, who come
to overwhelm the liberties Of the
dear people, and bury the land of
freedom under statutory mountains
of Sumptuary Laws. 1t is, how
ever, to the credit Of these blowers
to say that not one in nine hundred
and ninety-nine Of them know
what a sumptuary law is. Demo-
cratic platform-builders may know,
but they put in the "sumptuary"
plank on purpose to fool the people
with.
Webster's latest work defines
S,snnptuory Lars to be "such as re-
strain or limit the expenses of citi-
zens in apparel, food, furniture or
the like"
Now, when Bro. Tippett, Of the
Register, or any incorrigible prohi-
bitionist, undertakes by law to
limit the d-hannel of Bro. Brazie's
wamus so that it won't enclose his
corporal globe, or to issue out to
him by statute quantities of beef
and potatoes insufficient to sustain
three hundred pounds of hungry
humanity, Or to provide by legisla-
tive enactment that giant editors
shall use chairs and bed-steads no
longer or stronger than common
mortals require-why then we'll
all rise up in arms to defend our
sacred affairs and our fires" and
the prohibitionists themselves will
put a plank in their platform
against the iniquitous sumptuary
business.
But to the editorial again. Here's
rich bit Of text:
"Any party organ has the right,
and ought to exercise it, of sustain
ing and advancing every good cause
in legitimate manner outside of
politics. We oppose bringing
strange gods into our tabernacle,
and compelling the faithful to fall
down and worship them without
first showing them to be worthy of
homage and necessary to our politi-
cal salvation"
And so ''every good cause" that
concerns the public is to be advo-
Gated outside Of party, and the bad
inside, and before any measure is
commended, whether good or bad,
1t must first be shown to be "neces-
sary to our political (party) saliva
ton"
Will the Democrats of West Vir-
ginia subscribe to this sort of loc ic
and argument? A thousand times,
no! Shame on such degrading vas
salage to party, as would endorse OF
make possible such slavish senti-
ment as the above from any party !!

ceeding further toward the body OF
effulgence, that we may be schooled
to bear the flood of light in which
we are to be plunged.
First, we inquire whether the
Register and his correspondent would
have had the Government license
the trade in "shoddy clothing and
smothered hams" in order to Greg
ulate and control" the frauds upon
the Government and soldiers?
Second, in what way will license
make Fairmont's mean whisky bet
ter, or improve the quality of the
"Wheeling slop, commonly called
beer 2"
But let's have another section:
"Now, pass that miserable abor-
ton, gotten up by the smugglers
and their "kith and kim" and you
will then give them harvest I'M
surpassed by Senator Jones silver
mines. Let the people put their
heel upon all such infamous pro-
ceedings-enforce the laws they
now have-and it is prohibition
enough. five have the right kind
of men in office our present law will
eradicate the evil in two or three
years"
Now isn't that just too luminous
ly luminous Prohibitionists in
league with their enemies in a
scheme to prohibit the infamous
trade upon which those enemies
depend for livelihood and support
And then here's a plea for law
enforcement and good men for Of
fee! 1t is simply wonderful to
witness the conscientious zeal of
these law-less traffickers and their
| friends, in favor Of enforcing the
laws we have, whenever constitu-
tional prohibition is talked of.
They seem to be almost dying to
have us enforce the law and put
them in Jail for their misdemean-
ors and crimes. Yes, do this and
you'll eradicate the evil in two or
three years. Then we ask, what's
troubling the spheres? We're only
asking for the other twelve counties
what we have in forty-two, and
what they say is good.
But we'll come to the end of the
tail and see what hangs thereby:
"Only yesterday l learned that
there were seven persons in this
place and Palatine who had taken
out Government license; but | did
not ask who they were, as it was
none of my business. Iseldom buy
any, and if I did, I want none Of
your drugstore stuff.
at is to be hoped that when the
Legislature meets again, and these
longvisaged gentry come snuffling
around, the members will ground
shell them" The Prohibitionists
say they have "the men and the
money" to pass the amendment
next winter. presume they in
tend to buy it through. eve shall
see what we shall see"
Yours,
HONESTLY TEMPERATE.
And so it was none of this "tem-
perateiy honest" fellows business,
who were carrying on san illegal,
corrupting, debauching and ruin
Gus traffic in his neighborhood. He
didn't even inquire who they were !;
this fellow didn't, who wants the
law enforced and good men in office,
that the evil may be speedily eradi-
Gated. He seldom buys any"
Then how does he get it? For, if
he doesn't like it, his language,
longings and logic all mock the
man that does. "The Prohibition
lists say they have the men and the
money!" &c. That Of course the

alie New Census.

In the census Bulletin IN relation TO the pro-
portions OF white aud cOiored pao3ls in the
United states. the comparisons are maIe De
tween the census OF 1870 and that OF 1881 The
excess OF the rate OF Increase of the co'ored
people over the white during the decade IS as
high as IL and II per cent Ia some OF the south
ern states. But the value OF these comparisons
Is destroyed, to great extent, bY the testimony
that has been given to the effect that the census
OF 1870 IN the southern states was Inaccurate
The enumeration was entrusted to the United
states marSnals and their deputies. Many of
the latter were 50 ignorant that they had no
conception OF the work they were undertaking
or It's useS. Scores or them went among the
quarters OF the cOlOred people On Plantations
and got their returns from persons whose ig-
norance was so dense that they knew not the
difference between one hundred and one thou
sand. Every test that has been applied has
proven that the census OF the south In
1870 was erroneous and inaccurate. In the oul-
letin containing these statistics fn relation To
the white and colOred population, General Wal
ker speaks Of the colored gains as only appar-
ent. and says they are principally
due TO the imperfectiols OF the southern
census or 1879. These very imperfections
now render that census of ten years ago
almost worthless, aud this fact tends to
increase public appreciation OF the census
now being completed. Every means that could
be devised has been employed to obtain re-
turns entirely accurate. When douOt existed
as to return, the census bureau has written to
the enuIDeEator from whose district the DOUBT

The Telephone DifscuItv.

From the spirit OF the meeting held On tha
subject last evening. 1t Ia apparent thai unless
there Is Teadjustment OF prices the present
telephone system will soon pass largely, IL no
wholly. out OF use 80 Washington. The with
uraWal OF melting more than three hundred
subscriber win leave to those who remain 50
small means of communication with the
business circles Of the city that their connection
with the central Office Will be OF bat little ser
vice TO IL n, and gradually they too VIII fail
OF. The chief value OF the telephone lies In
the fac; that those who employ Il can IN an
iIstaLt be pi4ced ia speaking connection With
almost an business house IN the city. When
this circle Is diminished TO about half It's former
properties. the value OF the device to those
who use I, IS reduced fully fifty Per cent. or
perhaps even 10 greater extent. The
price for its use to those who retain II shauI J.
therefore, BE- reduced In the same ratio; a11 as
this will not probably be done, It ia easy 10 see
that Dissatisfaction and finally general dj5I5e
win follow.
While upon the subject Of prices, there IS one
point IN connection with that matter that has
not been fuzzy understood here. The telephone
company have laid considerable stress 01 the
fact that the yearly rental In Washington Is
not as large SIS In most IL not all other cities
at first sight this seems to be just grogat for
credit. The point Which the company has
Studiously Eept out Of sight, however, Is the
material one that the service Is no, as coed
nor worth as much here as elsewhere. Ia
other wOTds, While, as we are informed II r19st
cities the number OF instruments In a single
circuit will BOT average more than tEo. nere
the ayeTags IS probably more than doIOe that
number. The chances for quick and efficient
service sre accordingly diminished one-lal'
Hence II IS that the answer so often comes from
the central Office In Washington thar "that
line is busy Just n0E." when a particular per-
son Is called for. In other places annoying d.
lays from this cause do not occur so frequently
as here. 1t Is right, therefore, that rates should
be lower here than elsewhere. The Washing
