West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-11-23

Our City Fathers have Inaugural
ted a new remedy for the liquor
dealers that are so unlucky as to be
found out and convicted before the
Recorder. All they have to do now,
is to come before the Council, swear
it was Gan accident" and the Re-
corder is reversed by a vote of the
body This is much cheaper and
surer than the old, expensive and
uncertain remedy of appeal.

The only plank political parties

DIED.-On Thursday night at
halfpast 10 O'Clock, at the residence
of Mr.. James Mehen, on Depot ST.,
Miss Anna Gallagher, Of consump-
ton. The funeral was very largely
attended on Sunday, from St. Xa-
vier's Church. Miss Gallagher was
the sister-in-law Of Mr. Mehen, and
had been, since the death of her
sister, Mrs. Mehen, keeping house
for him and caring for his little
children. For some time before
her decease she was great sufferer,
and had the deepest sympathy of
the entire community.

CIRCUIT CoURT.-The time of the
Court thus far has been taken up
mostly with misdemeanor cases.
Only one conviction for felony
that of Charles hurry, colored, who
was sent up two years for burglary.
Quite a number of confessions and
convictions have been recorded for
unlawful retailing. Two saloon
keepers were convicted and fined
for selling to persons in the habit
Of drinking to intoxication. This
is long step in advance, these be-
ing the first convictions, had at
least for long time, for this statu-
tory offense. The Grand Jury found
26 indictments, II for misdemtan-
ors, and 8 for felonies
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-11-23

The HONEST THING.-The most
sensible, reasonable and honest
thing injected into the farce of try
ing the saloon-keepers for their Ii
censes, was the position and decla-
ration of the Mayor, S. P. Wells,
that "the Council had all the facts
and evidence in it's own archives. !"
All the hullabaloo about ''con-
fronting the accusers," "vested
rights" appeal" and such like,
was all SO much empty thunder, but
it afforded pretext for the curry
elected to acquit," and that was all
that was desired.
The original contract with the
saloonists was to revoke on convic-
ton before the Recorder, and the
only honest thing was to revoke on
proof of conviction. This, however,
would have been business, and
business" was never contemplated
nor intended.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-11-23

Wasn't it just little bit extra
precautionary for the City Attorney
to demand that the Mayors request
that he look after the city's inter
ests in the proceedings in the mat
ter of (not) revoking licenses
should be spread upon the records ?
And wasn't it a little the most
remarkable performance of the
times for Council by vote to make
the Mayor the attorney pro tenn to
prosecute matter before himself
as presiding officer? Verify, the
times are big with wonders.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1881-11-23
Taylor County.

We received very interesting
communication from Simpson Civ
ing details of the recent shocking
tragedy at that point, and referring
at length to the funeral discourse
of Rev. D. Powell, over the body of
the well-known and beloved victim.
As we have given our readers the
sermon in full in this number,
which sets forth the facts in the
case, we publish here only part of
the letter referred to.
After giving the manner of Mr..
Gums death, caused by whisky, the
writer closes thus:
What will become of our people ?
What can be done to suppress this
intolerable evil? Petitions have
been offered, praying our Legisla-
ture to give this matter considera-
tion-to place it before the people
and give them chance to vote
down the power of issuing licenses
to the rum-sellers. But we have
been scornfully treated by this body.
Let us have Prohibition ticket in
the State of West Virginia and
elect men who will cast forever into
oblivion the power to issue license
and once for all deliver our State
from this evil and place her in a
progressive channel. May ours State
be q shining star, unspotted with
drunkenness and crime, instigated
by the use Of Intoxicating liquors.
Now, while we have for an exam
pie, a noble citizen cut down in the
bloom of life; now, while our minds
are agitated with the destructive
power of liquors, let us sharpen our
axes and hew down these death
dens; let us compel the laws Of our
country to be strictly executed let
every man, woman and child stand
at the post of duty; let the minis
tiers of the Gospel bear down upon
the subject, regardless of fear or af-
lection, preaching the laws of God
and man fearlessly and casting
from their churches the drunkard
and advocate of this horrible traffic.
Many families in our midst are
neglected by drunken husbands, are
daily in want for the common ne
cessaries of life; the children are
kept from school for the want of
clothing, and heart-broken mothers
and daughters are rendered desolate.
Our village looks desolate and bids
fair to have everything blighted by
this curse, that might become good
and true and make the commune
ty happy. PATRICK.

Please state what Conkng did for the Republican
party during the last campaign? how many speeches
he made, and where? STALWART.
Senator Conkling made speeches in New York,
Ohio, and Indiana during the great campaign.
Probably no other political addresses for many
years at any time were ever listened to in this
any country by so many people His audiences were
the leaders of public opinion, and the speeches
made were reproduced many times and in differ
ent ways during last year and since then. They
were published as campaign documents and hun
dreds of thousands of copies distributed they
were printed In the principal newspapers Of tho
country Of all shades of politics, and the speech
makers in every State and Territory in the Union
quoted from, and not unirequcntly reproduced,

around to the inquiry Of whether the Re-

ness on hand. The mere taking of Re-

Police Manual.

A police code, a manual of the criminal
law designed expressly for the use of members of
the police force, has been published in London
In this book policemen are told that 1t is their
duty even while stopping q suspected person, to
treat him with the utmost civility," and even to
take the trouble to explain to him that the exer.
else of this legal right by the police affords the
surest protection TO all honest citizens" II is
added that this ought to be done, whatever the
suspected persons antecedents."
