The Ohio Uprising.
DAYTON, O., July Is, 1881,


ED. FREEMAN Among the many
papers that come to my Sdnct,tm,
none are read with more profit than
the FREEMAN. The cause it advo-
Gates is right. Its weapons are
truth and justice. | greatly rejoice
that the cause of temperance is
making such an advance. O, has
the day come when man dares to
speak out and denounce that awful
sin of rum-drinking! 1t is won
der of wonders that sober and intel
ligent men would sit still so lon 9
and see the deso,ation caused by
intemperance, and not lift their
voice against it,
The present uprising is wonder
full. From the North and South,
East and West, come tidings that
the people are awaking from
their stupor, to rid themselves of
the terrible load that has so long
rested upon them. If you do your
duty in West Virginia, your State
will soon enroll herself with Maine
and Kansas
The people of the Buckeye State
are waking up, but slowly. We
have two things against us here
that interfere greatly with any pro
gress in the temperance line.
LIST. Fully one-third of our popu-
lation are of foreign birth, or the de-
scendents of foreigners, who are
great beer and alcoholic drinkers,
I'd. Ohio is a great grain-growing
and liquor manufacturing State.
Immense capital is invested in dis
tilleries and farmers are made to be-
lieve if distilling is stopped they
will have no market for their grain.
But Notwithstanding this, the
temperance people are at work.
The Democratic party has never
made them any offer, but the Re-
publican party has each year tried
to throw them Il bait and made a
quasi temperance promise, but new
er fulfilled it. The Temperance
people have now determined to be
hoodwinked no longer, but to pad
die their own canoe. They think
they can hold the balance of power,
and in this way cause their influ
encc to be felt.
The Republicans renominatcd
Charley Foster for Governor, who
secured his last election mainly by
| bowling down to the liquor interest.
He will treat all who will drink,
and drink with them. When with
those who are temperate, he will be
temperate, thus becoming all things
to all men. But the temperance
people have cast him off, and he
will lose, to say the least, 10000 Of
their votes. The Democrats have
nominated for Governor Mr.. Book
walter, Of whose Temperance ante
cedents ] know nothing. Should
he pledge his influence to the tenn
perance party, they will sustain
him But there is little hope that
he will do that, as the liquor inter
ests III Ohio lie mainly with the
Democratic party. 1t will there
fore be necessary for the Temper
ance party to nominate a full ticket
of their own. This will be consid-
cred and decided upon the Goth
proximo at the great Temperance
Convention to be held at the Love
land camp-grounds May God give
wisdom on that day
have been resident of Ohio for
twelve years, and ! never saw or
heard 50 much talking on Temper
ance as this summer The people
are working, and will make their in
fuence felt next fall, if not sooner.
Yours for the Truth,

Press Meeting Notes.
Glad we went.

N'fs'Na w N0tlN.
Glad we were able to get back.
The foregoing two remarks are
honest.
We fell in love with Bro. Fague
of the Echo, and anxiously hope his
feeble health will rapidly improve,
Bro. Clark, of the Delta, is solid
as oak, and wall against all liquor
in old Upshur.
Hon. A. A. Lewis is equally at
home behind his counter, at re-
ception, or making an impromptu
speech on Education,
Hon J. NJ. Bennett, in his glow
ing tribute to the brilliant legal
lights of the State, placed Phillip
Doddridge at the summit.
From appearances patent our
good looking young Bro. Wells is
suffering from some acknowledgements,
and will doubtless soon get some
deft hands to unravel his troubles.
Bro. Peterson is quite handy
with himself-a sort of maid of al,
business, and busy with all the
maids too, as it were. He evidently
enjoys things.
The ugliest editor of the State
present at the Convention, WASH
there. We could tell who the la
dies said was ''purtiest,' but the
Asylum's full now, and we'd better
not.
Bros. Reed and Gould, of the IN
dependent and Mountdinecr, were the
Presbyterian clergymen editors
present, and are aggressively at the
forefront of the fight against the
worst enemy of their flocks, with
Prohibition and Salvation for
watchwords.
We regretted the effort to cut off
discussion on the resolution of pop
ular sovereignty. The Press Asso-
citation above all others should
maintain free speech. If, as some
assumed to fear, fre-brand was
being thrown into our midst, were
itnot much wiser 30 fetch out the
engine Of truth and quench the
brand with the cold water of rea-
son, than to try to smother it with
the blanket Of postponement, or the
previous question, and have it
linger, kindle and burst forth again
to plague US? A question of popu-
lar right and justice wont stay post
poned.
We didn't like Bro, Snively's re-
mark in his tribute to our new
State, that civil war was the east
est and most satisfactory way the
State could have been formed"
Though we are as proud ofour little
Mountain State as any brother can
be, and although we were in at her
birth. we cannot dwell on the man
ner and circumstances of her being
brought forth with any emotions Of
pleasure. There were too much
heart blood and soul-agony, in the
travail, for the birth of the young
commonwealth to be denominated
as a professionally successful ac-
couchement by any manner Of
means.
Our State was actually dug
from Old Virginia's bowels, by all
the clumsy, rusty and hacked i'm
plements Of civil war. The Caesar
can process is one Of EXTREMIST resort
with experts, and never pleasant
for contemplation, and surely not
''the easiest and most satisfactory
way"

Mr.. S. E. Clark's sudden death,

shocked our entire community.

buried on Friday evening, funeral
services being conducted at the

were at Capon Springs, but We're

ROeT Bellies.

Such even Of the bellies as have had their
| manner polished and their minds enlarged
by travel in Natal and q visit to the "cltyN
(nanely, Maritzburg,l seem to fling aside the
embarrassing trappings of civilization when
they return to the parental roof. Not that |
| would be understood to hint that the Boer
maidens could be guilty of such an impro-
| priety in its most liberal sense; far from it.
Beneath the orange trees and blue gums OF
the paternaI residence the lovely ladies con
tinue to bloom in all the brilliant hues of the
most glaring red and yellow cotton dresses
which Manchester can produce. By the
side Of q bevy of young Boeresses q tulip
bud is dingy indeed, and even red and yellow
| peoples would have enough to do to hold
their own against the masses Of color with
which these coy damsels love to decorate
themselves. None of your neutral tints or
| paltry touches of color here and there for
your genuine Dutch Boeress: nothing but the
brightest scarlet or orange will serve her
turn, and a good solid mass Of il, too. a
fine stout calico dress Of q strong pink or blue
| with 3 bonnet in the complementary hues Of
green and orange, form one of those neat
and harmonious toilets which make q party
of Boer girls q vision of startling splendor to
the sober Britisher. The style Of dress has
the advantage, moreover, Of enabling the
| Wearer to be visible almost as far as the flash
Of the Photograph, until she is actually-if
one may use the ex~pression-hull down on
the horizon. It is fortunate for these ladies
that considering the not very chastened char
acter of their taste in dress, nature has en-
dowed them with 6 brilliancy and purity Of
complexion which not even the forcible COL
oring of their raiment can avail to kill. The
pure red and white of their round cheeks
and dazzling fairness Of their throats surpass
even the famed compilations Of England,
and are only retained by the ~strictest care on
the part of there buXom owners The thick
est Of wells and the most nun like Of fore
head and chin bands are worn whenever
there is the slightest chance Of exposure 10
the outer air; and as for the sun, he is never
allowed to implant even the most fugitive
kiss upon the blooming cheeks Of the bellies
Of Boerland. On the occasions Of the peri
odical visits to the towns to attend the
ssNachtmahl," or sacrament Of their Church,
the groups Of yelled beauties peering from
the wagons give the Boer the aspect of a
Turk travelling with his harem. Nor, by all
accounts, is the engaging naivete of these
houris calculated to inspire aught save terror
in the British breast.
