Et|f,r ef'He J,urttp'y Counerrs:
IT, L"yt>ittt"e 81 North Caro-
luls 4, il, late session passed a bill
% proiubi; the manufacture and sale
Of sliri;uous liquors, which i. to be
submitted to the people On the 9TH
Of August next for their ra Shcatlon
or rejection. Now l wish your
opinion on the following points
/. Would it insure TO the benefit
of a State situated as North Carroll
ma is, either financially, morally or
religiously, while adjoining States
are untrammelled, to have a prohlb.
tory law?
9. Which does the greater evil to
our common country, financially,
morally, Or physically, tobacco or
spirituous liquors?
3, Does not the temperate use OF
spirits promote longevity
4. What States have had or now
have a probibitory liquor law
ANTI-FANATICIsM.
Repiy.-1. We have often given
our opinion as to the effect of such
sumptuary laws. If the cause OF
temperance was thereby promoted,
there would remain the serious ques-
ton whether such an abridgment OF
the liberties of the people, if thor
oughly enforced, would not endan
ger more vital interests than the
law is intended to conserve. But as
a matter Of fact, and in spite Of the
public statements of the orators OF
that school, the prohibitory law has
in any State promoted the
cause OF temperance.
2. The immoderate use of intoxi-
eating drinks does far more evil we
think than the use Of tobacco but
the difficulty with the p%rohibltory
law is two-fold it does not dimin
ish the evil, and if it could be SO en-.
forced that it did prohibit the sale
and use of liquor, it would do q
greater public harm by taking away
the foundation of all free institutions
the consent Of the governed.
3. With very much evil from
their abuse, there is also much prac
teal good from the proper use O
stimulants. But whether wise OF
not, all nations will use them, ane
no people a be prevented from
such use without governing then
with a despotic power inconsisten
with any enjoyment of liberty. II
enforce a prohibitory law to its fna
letter without reserve, would be lik'
burning down a barn to kill the yer
min in it.
4. Most of the New Englan,
States, New York, and some middl
and western States, have exper.
mented with a prohibitory law bu
it has been nowhere strictly Ell
forced.

HOW SHE CURED HIM OF


The husband Of a certain Nash
willie lady, says the American, was
before his marriage, furious
sswearer. Through his wltes thiiu-

wife earnestly said
Yes, the damn wood is too green

to bring up any damn kindiing TO
start the damn fire with He look
ed at his wife in absolute dis.na..
but at once saw the poin, and said
nothing. A longer period than
usual passed without the favorite ex-
plctive being used, but later on he
wanted a basket, and said, after
looking tor it Sale where has the
damn basket got to?' The wife
quietly, a if putting a child to sleep,
said Ask the damn cook to get
the damn basket-damn her she
keeps it, AS before he said moth

washed out her mouth afterwards,

A RIGHTEoUs VEKDICT.-lt will
be remembered that some months
ago Mrs. G. NJ. Parks, of Hillsboro,
while on her bridal tour, vas IAN
over by a hackman in the city Of
New York, and very severely in
jured. The driver of the hack was
! arrested, tried and convicted on the
charge of criminal carelesSness and
sentenced to a term of imprison-
ment. Mr.. Parks brought a civil
suit in damages against the keeper OF
the livery stables. On Friday last
be was notified by his lawyer that a
verdict in his favor had just been
rendered for $3.50. This most ef
f~ectually disposes of the plea OF &C
cident set up, and which is the COM
mon refuge Of these reckless Jehus
and their employers.
We copy the above from the Dur
ham Recorder. The many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Parks rejoice with
them in the result above mentioned
1t looks like the authorities Of New
York are willing to protect visitors
while in that city.

Mrs. William Brewer, whose husband
is a ranchman on Upper Crow creek. is
suffering from a terrible affection.
Something over three years ago she lost
her eyesight by amaurosis, and remain
ed in that pitiful condition for some
time, when the optic nerve grew
stronger and partial sight returned.
This, however, was but a temporary
comfort. and Mrs. Brewer was soon
sightless again and has remained so
during all this time. On Thursday
morning last, an accession of trouble of
the brain caused the paralysis of the
right side and the entire loss of speech;
thus, sightless, speechless and helpless,
this mother Of a little two year old
child, must find the very breath of life
an affection, and wins tho sympathy Of
all. Mr.. Brewer is an honest, hard
working German ranchman, and feels
most keenly this terrible affliction both
upon wife and husband. 1t is one Of
the saddest cases 1t has been the part Of
the LEADER to chronicle in a very long
time.

The attacks and rumors of attacks
upon the lives Of public men of late,
present a lamentable state of public
opinion, which is equivalent to saying,
a looseness of society; for the one
changes as the other does, and they are
so closely interlinked that it is hard to
say which is the outgrowth of the other.
The recent rumor of a contemplated at
tack upon the life Of Conkling, follow
ing so closely upon the discovery Of an
alleged plot for the assassination Of
President Arthur, presents in a very
forcible the necessity Of prompt
and severe repression Of such freaks Of
malice Of insanity. Be it one or the
other, national veal and public safety
require that the laws of our land
should be promptly and severely en-
forced.
The case of Guiteau is pressed for
ward to the severest penalty by public
sentiment, but OH the contrary, public
sentiment retards the support of public
order in Mason's case, although in the
light Of previous experience and sue
ceedlng events, the latter demands the
| complete fulfllment of the spirit of the
law as well as in the most aggravated
case of the presidents assassination.
Otherwise the life Of any public man,
if he chances to incur the displeasure
Of an individual, is no more safe than
than that Of the lamented president,
and the history of this country will be
full of attacks and rumored attacks
upon the representatives Of the people,
who, like Arthur, Conkling, Bliss and
others may be on an adverse side Of q
strong public ~displeasure.
All that is required to-lessen the fast
increasing numbers OF these so-called
lunatics is little wholesome punish
ment, as provided and required by the
laws Of the land, in spite Of q temper
airy sentiment, the outgrowth Of the
excitement of the moment. II, how
ever, the matter is allowed to go by
default, and these fanatics, upon the
plea Of lunacy or other similar defence,

The production Of anthracite coal in

The output for 1880 was nearly 3.0OO,-

Having succeeded to the ownership
Of the LEADER establishment, 1t is,
perhaps, proper that we should defer te
public expectation which anticipates
the declaration Of principles and inten'
tions on the part of a new manage
ment OF a newspaper. 1t is a time hon.
ored custom and we will not create q
breach at this late day.
In the FIRST place the LEADER will be
conducted as a business enterprise. As
such it will be independent in politics.
1t reserves the privilege to criticise, II
need be, any party or faction or creed
in politics, and also any measure affect
ing the public veal, no matter from
what source it may emanate. In deal
ing with public matters. we expect to
do so fairly and honorably, without fear
or favor. We shall aim to SO shape
our course as to do the greatest good to
the greatest number, andto deal honestly
by all, SO that none shall complain Of
unfair treatment.
While primarily subscribing the in
terests of the city of Cheyenne, we
shall endeavor to aid and promote the
welfare of-the county and territory, con
tributing our best efforts toward the
advancement of our whole people, and
the deveopment OF the resources of this
vast territory. The varied material
interests Of our domain will ever find
In the LEADER a faithful exponent. To
make known to the world the hidden
treasures of our hills, the fertility of
our valleys, and the value Of our n
cupied ranges, is a duty which we
cheerfully assume, trusting to the en-
enlargement of our people who have
never faltered in the path of progress,
for that endorsement, without which a
newspaper cannot succeed.
