The State Convention.

While Wheeling, the place Sc
lected for holding the State Tenn
perance Convention, which meets
on the 2Sth of June, is in the ex-
IRENE corner of the State, yet all
things considered, it is perhaps the
most suitable place that could have
been selected. If there shall be a
full representation of the temper
ance people throughout the State,
it will be a grand success, and all
the more a success because it is at
Wheeling. 1t is the Capital of the
State 1t is the place toward which
the hearts of the people, yearning
for freedom from the alcoholic
curse, turn for relief, because there
the Legislature, which can relieve
us, if it will, will assemble next
Winter 1T is the point from
which will go forth through the
Press a more complete and widely
circulated report of the meeting,
than would be published from any
other place in the State. And will
not its local influence be such as
will remain and be felt by the Leg
islature when it meets again? 1t
will bring the temperance forces of
the State together right in the
stronghold Of the enemy, and face
to face with the strongest advocates
of the observation-disclosures be-
cause they have the most money
invested in it. Let nobody be kept
from attending this Convention be-
cause of increased cost, and dis
lance to be covered in getting there.
Let the most remote counties have
at least one or two representatives.
The country is moving now in the
cause of prohibition. Let us move
now and altogether.

To-day the surveying corps from
Charleston. will meet the company
starting here, at Ripley, whence
Major Mcconnell will pro-
coed to Ravenswood and with his
corps survey the river route from
that point to Parkersburg.
Mr.. Schubert's corps, starting
from this city, has surveyed the
Worthington route through Valley
Mills to Bull Greek, striking the
creek just below the iron bridge,
and is now coming down the river
route, while the Wheeling corps is
making good progress down the
river.
RIGHT OF WAY.
So far as agents have proceeded
they have met with most favorable
reception. Mr.. McCosh on the
Worthington route, and Mr.. L. P.
Neal below, we learn, find little OBJ
lection to giving the right of way
except in extraordinary cases,
where great demands are made by
the route on a farmers convention
ces, water-privileges, or valuable
land. Of course there are excep-
tional cases, where a farmer could
not be expected to give the "butt
end" of his farm as it were, for the

community as well as for yourself
and we suggest a few personal III
ouiries after this manner:
Am | reasonable in asking pay
for the privilege of doubling the
value Of my land?
Will the road be forced through
this community against our
wishes?
Can | afford to oppose the Will
and interest of all my neighbors IN
standing out for a little strip OF Land
that ought to give for the general
good, and for which | will be PAID
ten times over in the benefits OF the
road?
Will it be comfortable for me to
have a jury of my neighbors who
have given the right of way and
who are ashamed of my penurl-
BUSINESS, to assess my damages?
DO not my reason, my interest IN
West Virginias future, my love
for the common good, my con-
science, my pride, my manhood, my
all, yearn to join in the universal
farmer shout all along the line

To Sunday School Workers.

This issue of the FREEMAN will
be read by many persons in the city
attending the State Sunday School
Convention. May we not hope
that your interest in the cause of
Temperance will be quickened, and
that you will return to your homes
determined to do your part to build
up and strengthen the cause of pro-
hibition in West Virginia? See to
it, that the people shall become
better informed as to the tremen-
dous evils of the liquor-traffic, and
arouse them to action in one
ranited effort to secure to the people
;an opportunity to vote the thing
eout of existence in our own West
Virginia.

Mason County.

Mason county maintains her free
dom intact. After the Commission
ers had decided against license and
finally settled the question, it seems
that in the municipal election, the
friends of the traffic, 10th to give
up this source of gain as the price
of suffering, succeeded in electing a
Council in favor of license. Get
ting permits from the Council, they
again besieged the Court, but the
noble triumvirate were solid for the
right, and said, No. The Saturday
Visitor attacks the Commissioners,
and right manfully the Register sue
cessfully defends their wise action
in the premises, showing their re-
fusal of license to be not only right,
but to the great benefit Of the peo-
pie and county, socially, morally,
financially and in every way. Con-
denim the traffic by law for two
years, and never again will license
be tolerated.

The Freeman.

Let us urge upon new friends
who may read this issue of the
FREEMAN, the duty of giving to the
paper more hearty and substan-
tial support. We have been much
gratifed at the kindly reception
given us, and the almost universal
words of approval and encourage
ment. We have come to stay. Our
patronage is increasing. But the
FREEMAN can only be made pow
>er for good, in proportion to its in
creased circulation; and just as the
friends of temperance will stand by
us, by subscribing and inducing
others to subscribe, and thus widen
ing the circle of our influence, SO
will the good We can do be greater,
There is an abundance Of temper
ance sentiment in West Virginia,
but it needs to be crystallized into
action. Our people must read up
If they are ever to avoke up to full
sense of their duty. Give US your
subscription, and you help the
FREEMAN and help the cause.

TRAINS

MuRDER.-The Fayette Enterprise
gives the horrible details of the
killing of Winfield Saunders, at
Nuttallburg, Fayette county, re-
Gently. Saunders was last seen to
get s51 and 60 in. company With
Henry Jenkins, colored. Not re-
porting for duty next day, search
was made along the railroad, where
there were traces of blood and evil
dences of a struggle, which led over
the rocks to the rivers edge, where
great quantities of blood and brains
and hair were found, with Il large
stone that was used in the horrible
work. Jenkins was lodged in Jail,
with strong evidence against him.
Saunders body was not found at
last accounts.
On the first day of Court a large
number of people were present, and
yet the utmost quietness prevailed,
and if any great quantity of whisky
was imbibed it did not make a pub
lie exhibition of itself-with one or
two exceptions, mentioned else
where. This is the most thorough
and practical rebuke to the men
who say to refuse license does not
restrain the sale of Intoxicating
liquors. We have had a practical
example. -Rdndolph Enterprise.
LosT.-Our friend D. NJ. Sharp
neck, of Petroleum, advertises in
the Ritchie Democrat, a lost note for
s447, made by 7, NJ. Reed, and en-
dorsed by Gen. A. S. Core, and eau
tions against its negotiation, also
a pocket-book containing about $50,
offering $40 reward for it's return.

G. Scofeld, Of the State journal, is

ED. FREEMAN Your excellent
paper comes frcighted with
good tidings Of great JOY, which
shall (yct) be to all people"
must congratulate you on the
mechanical ueatness Of your paper,
and the ability with which tits
edited, in the good work it has
espoused. lntemperance under
mines the foundation both of relig-
ion and morality, and every hand
that is lifted against it, is certainly
commended of all good people.
Our county through its court, has
declared against license to sell the
"accatrSed thing," as well as have the
counties of Favette and Summers
thus placing themselves on the list
with the twenty thousand 'fanat-
les who troubled the Legislature
last winter.
We contemplate calling meet
ing, and sending delegation to
Wheeling on the 2Sth proximo.
"Fanaticism" seems to be spread
ing rapidly, and we think there
will be goodly number, who Will
not have been consigned to the
stake" at the next State election,
but will remember the compliment
passed upon them when their
names were presented with their
humble request, which reason ana
justice, as well as magnanimity on
the part ofthe Legislature demand
ed them to grant.
Perhaps the members OF that
body who opposed the amendment
will learn, ere they are reelected
that they are the servants and NOT
the rulers of the people. lwlsh the
people would all take the FREEMAN
and keep themselves posted on thls
important subject, and thus eaten

Should not some Saturday anu
Sabbath before the Convention De

Right of Way.

the right of way" than is common
ly understood. 1t often and indeed
generally comprehends much more
than simple business transaction
between the owner of premises and
the party or company desiring the
right of occupancy, wherein the lat
ter is coded for an agreed considera-
ton. The common rights and in
terests of the community, the peo-
ole, the State, are often Immediate
ly concerned and at stake, and the
man who has what he is pleased to
call title to the premises, is not deal
ing for himself alone, when selling
the right of way to a proposed en-
terprise, in the success of which all
his neighbors and all the people of
the community are equally inter
ested with himself He is contract
ing for the public as well as HIM
self, and is not permitted to be ar
bitrary and interposc unreasonable
terms as obstacles in the way of the
public good Hence the State pro-
yides for protecting the people
against unreasonable demands of
selfish and obstinate owners, by the
condemnation of the right of way
for needed Improvements through
the arbitrament of juries, who fix
the compensation. But this neces-
sity is always great hindrance to
any enterprise, involving delays,
unpleasant relations and hostility,
to avoid which individuals as we'll
as corporations will go a great way
around.
Lively sympathy and active good
will among and from the people in
terested, are of prime necessity to
the harmonious working and sue
cess of any public enterprise. A
manufacturing establishment or
railroad that is compelled to be-
come suppliant for necessary fran
chises, to fight the people for foot
ing, and contend in the Courts for
right of way, can hardly hope for
friendly relations or profitable bust
ness with an embittered people, and
will seek other fields. Cities that
are so unwise and penurious as not
to realize the value of manufacto-
ries to themselves, keep them away
by exacting and unreasonable terms
and conditions, as to sites and fran
chises-communities, counties and
States keep out railroads by the
same dog-in-the-manger policy.
Experience has attested the wisdom
of building railroads only where the
people want them, and prohting by
this experience, the movers and
managers of the Wheeling, Par
kersburg and Charleston Railroad
most wisely required as a prerequi
site to the work, substantial proof
of the friendliness of the people con-
cerned, and their interest in the en-
terprise.
These have been abundantly
shown, in the prompt subscriptions
to the survey, amounting toa much
greater sum than was asked and if
this display of interest and enter
prise of the business people along
the line, be promptly supplemented
by the same liberal spirit on the
part OF the landowners, in granting
the right of way, it will be of more
value to the early completion and
permanent success of the road, than
cash subscriptions sufficient to pay
triple prices for every foot Of land
needed from Wheeling to Charles
ton.
