Vigorous Enough.

There has been an unusual
amount of drunkenness in our city
during the past two or three weeks !;
even young men under age have
been seen reeling in the streets.
Somebody is violating the law. If
the Council fail to order searching
investigation they will be guilty Of
a gross dereliction Of duty. The
members of the Council must see
what everybody else sees, and it
won't do for them to try to hide be-
hind astiff official punctilio in deal
ing with this class Of offenders. A
liquor dealer has no more right to
violate the law than a burglar or
any other offender has; and the
sooner our authorities hit them
where it will hurt by revoking the
licenses of such, the better it will be
for the community and for those
who have in charge the execution
of our ordinances. State Journal.
Now, that's sound, vigorous, and
to the point, and if the Journal will
follow it up by demanding and in
sisting that no man shall be nomi-
mated for Council but who can be
relied on to enforce the laws against
illegal liquor-selling, then the point
will stick.
But if this be but the initiating
ceremonies Of the annual "conf-
dence game" we have had from
time immemorial, then we'll none
of it.
If this vigorous dissertation be
but the deceptious prelude to the
nomination Of a ticket, pledged to
grant license and then "require the
law to be enforced" why, then will
the good people of the city spit
upon the prelude, and repudiate
the farce to follow.
If ever a contiding people have

Hurry up the Petitions.

The Legislature will re-convene
on the 18th day of January-just
three weeks from to-day. With
holding the prohibition petitions a
day beyond that date, may result in
their not being presented to the
Legislature at all. So do not fail to
mail them to me before that time
not later than the fifth Of January,
if possible.
We hear cheering news from the
canvass in many localities. From
many places we hear nothing, but
hope, nevertheless, that the petit
tons are receiving the proper at
tention, But let not another day
be lost. See toit that these three
weeks are well employed in this
canvass. How large shall the pc
tition be? 1t is for the people to
answer. Will you not do your
whole duty 1oo0?

been repeatedly outraged, insulted,
and contemptuously spit upon, the
voters of Parkersburg have been
thus treated, year after year, by
candidates held and bound as vas
sails to the saloon power, coming out
before election with vigorous
pledges to enforce law, which were
only made to deceive and catch
votes, with no intention of keeping
them.
We want no more pledges from
anybody pledged in advance to the
other side. We want men with
clean hands to do clean work. This
the people demand, this the people
will have, and to this end they will
see to it that any party is defeated
at the polls, that arrogates to itself
the prerogative, to barter away the
rights, peace and happiness of ten
thousand people, to thirty saloons.
for the paltry consideration of few
petty offices for a few short months.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-12-21
Imperative.

The Journal, in last weeks issue,
closes party appeal in this be-
seeching style:
"Let no Republican think for a
moment of leaving the ranks of his
party on issues of currency, tariff or
temperance until the free ballot for
every citizen is secured beyond the
possibility Of assault or repeal.
These and many others are impor-
tant questions; the good in them
can be secured more speedily thro'
the Republican organization than
any other, but a free ballot and an
honest count will never come eX-
cept by cooperation with the Re-
publican party"
1t would seem from the foregoing
that in the Journals estimation, its
position is becoming somewhat crit
ical, when it must implore its
friends not to leave the party ranks
on issues of currency, tariff or tenn
perance."
Are freemen to be advised to ig-
more all the issues before the people
and urged to vote for any party,
even if that party be too timid
to take a position on the only real
question of the day? 1t would seem
so. But the Journal wants free
vote and fair count in Mississippi.
Will some good Republican broth
er please inform us how a vote for
or against the liquor-traffic in Par
kersburg can affect the count" in
any precinct in Mississippi or
Maine?
Why not be honest, open, fair
and above board in city campaign
as in a state or national contest?
If there be questions and issues
worth contending for, name them,
define them, and champion them.
Don't 90 to Southern plantation,
nor to an Alaskan island for a plat
form for the city campaign, when
the only possible question and issue
is, and must be till settled, Shall or
shall not the miserable hquor-tratfc be
longer legalized IN oar midst?
This is the question, and the only
question Of Importance dividing
the voters of Parkersburg. How do
you stand on this? A leader should
leave no question as to his allegi-
ance. Those who follow have a
right to know where they are being
led. Let the respective leaders
fling out their banners and let the
people openly choose 'this day
whom they will serve"

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 81, 1881.
The Rulnpus.

Now, we're in for it, sure enough.
Fact is, we hardly know what to
think of ourself, which way to
jump or how to dodge. We had no
idee of stirring up the brethren at
all but here we are in the midst of
a whole school of mad editors
threatening to annihilate US.
Good neighbors, why is it thus?
What evil have we done, that you
come at us all in a bunch, from our
revered father Zeveley down thro'
the stalwart athletes to the pratt
thing babes dixie oursel) of the
Press,
"Aisy, now, me lads, and give
she FREEMAN boy a chance, will
yez?" Come at US, one at a time.
First. The Richie Democrat
growls at us ominously for being
one-idea reformer, and calls our spe-
cial attention to column editorial
it contained in three successive
issues, but which was discontinued
before calling our attention to it.
This is too bad. We thought we
were reading all the Democrats edi-
torials, but possibly may have pass
ed over the very thing we most
needed, thinking it a patent adver-
tisement. Well watch hereafter
and if we can catch another idea
from the Democrat, then we'll be
two-ideaed reformer.
Next comes the Wetzel Messenger,
thus:
The FREEMAN in speaking of our
venerable friend of the Panhandle
Neacs, classes him with the whisky
philosophers, logicians and proph-
cts" Bro. johnson should remem-
Der that of all the Christian virtues
the greatest is Charity. We expect
shat prohibition cannot be carried
by abuse.
Yes, that's so; and we expect not
too; unless it so be that facts, hon
estly applied to the whisky-traffic
constitute abuse; which indeed all
the apologists of the business with
those engaged in it, hold to be the
case, as it would seem. And as
matter of fact, their position is cor
rect. The facts do abuse the traffic
and all engaged in it scandalously,
and "Charity" can't save them.
"With malice to'ard none and char
ity for all" prohibition is to be car
ried by truth and facts, and whom
truth and facts abuse will surely
get abused.
But, let our abused Pan Handle
brother speak for himself. He says:
ave regret that the editor Of the
FREEMAN should have lost his tenn
per when respectfully requested by
us to answer a certain question.
He should remember that low in
situations are not arguments. The
good cause it claims to advocate is
not advanced by such course.
We don't belong to the class allud-
ed to-"
The first section of this Pan Han
die remark is wholly irrelevant. We

the cause Of temperance than any
other agency. But there is no ia

place. Morgantoao1 Correspondent
Of the Wheeling Hntelllgencer.
Now, we don't propose to quarrel
with that correspondent, if there
was any any such, the Intelllge''cer
nor the Journal for this intended CO
vert thrust. If any or all OF these
are willing to come down to this
cheap way of exhibiting their
jealousy, we can't help 1t, and
would not notice it at all but for
the ungentlemanly reflection upon
our 'fair agent" Any insinuatlon
of unfairness against her, all Nor
gantown will Indignantly resent, at
the mention of it. The FREEMAN
has large circulation in that
goodly city, thanks to Miss Lyon ;
not many, however, among the
students, and that they have not
been GLADLY taken in" is evidenced
by the large number Of short-time
subscribers renewing permanently.
While the FREEMAN's friends are
I pleased, it would seem to be more
fitting that it's enemies keep cool,
lie loau, and say prayers for them
selves.
HERE AGAIN.-Bro. Johnson, of
the FREEMAN, seems to be laboring
under the impression that the -
counties in this State where license
is granted are made worse than the
others, but, if he will carefully scan
the records, he will find that he is
mistaken WetzeI Messenger.
Will the Messenger be so kind as
to produce some of the records that
will prove cur mistake? All over
the State the prohibition counties
have far less crime, litigation, and
poverty than the license counties.
THE TELEGRAM.-And what's the
matter with Bro. Richards again :?
For some time past the Telegram
has been shaking its iridescent locks
at us, and daring the FREEMAN to
lock horns with it, without ever
presenting even the semblance Of
stump of a horn as point for con-
sideration, and when at last we
protested, by way of kindly apology
that we couldn't lock horns with a
muley, our Brother takes on real
ugly, and accuses us of all sorts of
bad things.
AS heretofore, we shall be pleased
to commend what we like in the
Telegram, as we did last week, by
copying its excellent editorial on
the illegal traffic in Clarksburg, but
when it goes down into the mud
for adjectives and hard names, we
beg to be excused. We've no die
tionary of that sort.
The Wellsburg Herald, sensible
as usual, denies the assertion made
in the FREEMAN that the press of
the State are censurable for luke
warmness in the temperance cause.
Messenger
There was no such assertion made
in the FREEMAN. 1t was said in a
speech partially reported in the
FREEMAN, that Of nearly one hun
dred papers in the State, not more
than twenty could be relied on to
advocate prohibition.
When any of you want to deny
this statement, please don't forget
to name at least twenty West Vir-
ginia papers that are advocating
prohibition, in connection with
your denial.

We are sorry thus to be away
