Their Good Bye.

Last week, Governor Steven
son and Mr. O. G. Scofeld, for more
than a dozen years the successful
editors and proprietors of the State
Journal, surprised their many pat
rons and friends with their Valedic-
tory Address,
Their "Good-bye" remarks were
so happy in spirit and so full of
good feeling throughout that moth
ing short of a heather brother of
the Press could do otherwise than
extend a most cordial goodbye hand
with warmest wishes and earnest
prayers for their success and happi-
ness in whatever field choice may
lead.
From the Valedictory we clip:
"To our many friends, patrons
and subscribers we return from a
full heart many, many thanks for
sympathy, encouragement and sup
port.
Whatever the Journal may have
said in the heat of political or other
contests to It's opponents or others,
calculated to wound their feelings
it regrets and recalls; whatever of
unkindness may have been employ
ed against us, it is freely forgiven
and forgotten"
In response to that sentiment,
here's our hand and heart, good
brethren, and our best wishes go
with you.
TO your successor, Mr.. A. B.
White, the FREEMAN extends
hearty greeting and cordial well
come, trusting our relations may
be and continue both pleasant and
profitable.

The Governors Message.

His Excellency, Governor }. B..
Jackson, has our thanks for hand
some pamphlet copy of his message
to the Legislature.
1t was our purpose to make this
acknowledgment in our last num-
Der, and notice the Message more
at length, but single-handed edit
or can't do everything at once, and
nurse baby with vaccinated
arm into the bargain.
We have read the document care
fully and find it has decided bu-
siness tone throughout, although in
some parts we can't say that we
like the tone.
We think the recommendation to
decapitate the University is very
unfortunate, and that the reasons
assigned for the recommendation
are decidedly unfortunate. That a
Chairman of the Faculty might
discharge the duties of President,
as recommended, may be true, but
if he assumes these responsible
ties he must have larger pay ac-
cordingly, and he is president, after
all, save the name, and the name
we think is much for the Universe
ty and very little for the tax-pay-
erS.
In like manner we are very sure
the friends of education through
out the State will much regret the
disfavor shown by the Governor to-
ward the enlargement of the pro-
fessiOnal schools in the University.
In our great country State is
largely judged by its educational
institutions, by it's advanced Col
leges and Universities, no less than
its common schools, and it is too
late in the age of civilization for
anything like parsimony in mat
tiers of education and culture, on
the score Of economy.

Too Much Temperance.

ED. FREEMAN: | am afraid we
will have to reconstruct the FREE
MAN or its editor before it will go.
A good deacon who occasionally
prays fervently for temperance re-
fuses to renew for the FREEMAN be-
cause it has "too much temperance
in it,"
Now who ever heard of the like?
| guess there will have to be some
reconstruction somewhere. This
deacon's situation reminds me very
much of the man who on Bonded
knees prays for the spread of the
Gospel, and with tears in his eyes
begs the Lord to save the heather,
and then as the contribution box
goes round, sings:
.Were all this realm OF nature mine,
1t werea present far to SMALL"
and gently drops a nickel into the
box to help save the poor heather.
Consistency, &c. Il.

remark, say on; we can't express

Are You a Subscriber?

From the first the FREEMAN is
sued one thousand copies, which
soon ran up to over two thousand.
Without subscription list to begin
with, we sent great many to
friends who we hoped would sub
scribe. Many names were sent us
by friends asking that a few copies
be sent.
Many to whom we thus sent the
paper notified us of their desires,
and we understand each other, but
tn ere remain a number of such
names on our book whom we hard
ly know whether to consider sub
scribers or not. From such we want
to hear at once. We have no pur-
pose to impose the FREEMAN on any
unwilling subscriber, and have no
bill against any who have not sub
scribed We do not propose to claim
any advantage under the postal
laws, making all responsible who
take paper form the office.
Of course we hope that everyone
who has been receiving the paper
will feel that what he has been get
ting and the Temperance cause IS
worth the small subscription price,
and that every such one will wish
the FREEMAN to continue its week
ly visits to his home.
We earnestly ask that such
friends as are here referred to Will
write us or call at once and inform
US of their desires; especially Will
we be glad to hear from you IT you
see this item marked by a blue
cross.

The result of the election in Par
kersburg is causing wall Of sorrow
from some of our Democratic ex-
changes. The Panhandle NeacS says
that the Democrats always do get
left when they fool with outside is
sues WetzeL Messenger.
The Neaos and Messenger and par
ties they represent will soon find
the temperance and prohibition is
sue to be outside, inside and all
around, and that it will be well to
be found on the right side of the

Concealed Weapons.

The Fayette Enterprise enters an
other vigorous editorial protest
against the very general and dan
gerous habit of carrying concealed
weapons, saying that in any ordina-
ry assemblage in that locality, sew
en- out of ten of the men present
have revolvers, with about the
same per cent, of pitsol-armed boys
"The result" says the editor, "is
that there is an armed neutrality
maintained between the good, law
abiding citizen, and the murderous
villain who may seek his life. This
is not as it should be. There is too
much dependence on the pistol
and not enough reliance on the law
to protect persons and property,
which can result in no good to the
people or the State. The remedy
for this evil, for evil it is, lies in the
hands of the Legislature 1t ought
to pass such laws as will secure a
general disarming Of the populace."
To this last proposition we give
our hearty vote, The people have
no more use for pistols with which
to shoot each other, than they have
for whisky to make them brutal
enough to use the pistols for MUIR
der. Both alike should be prohib-
tied as full of evil and only evil !;
and against the writer's suggestion
to license the carrying Of pistols,
we protest, as we protest against
licensing the sale of that which
alone makes the pistol dangerous.
A licensed pistol would kill as GER
tainly as free pistol, just as legal
and illegal whisky is alike danger

WEDNESDAY, JAN'Y %, 1882
THE LEGISLATURE.
Prospects for the Amendment.
WHEELING, Jan. %, 1882.

a. WHEELING, Jan. %, 1882.
Ye FREEMAN man is fond of early
rising, but the bewitching hour of
2 a. M, pleases him little too we'll.
But leaving the goodly city of Par
kersburg at that hour, we found
ourself among the State Solons
at ii a. M, this morning.
The Legislature is already right
down to solid work. An extended
session stares them in the face, and
they are disposed to put in all the
working hours,
Tomorrow morning Judge Fer
guson will move to take from the
table House Joint Resolution No. s,
(The Prohibition Amendment) and
have it made the special order of
the House of Delegates for an early
day. Numerous petitions for its
passage will be submitted. 1t
seems to be conceded that it will
receive the requisite two-thirds
majority in the House.
But its fate is uncertain in the SEN
ate. We have talked with only
few Senators, and we are satisfied
that there will be some changes
from the vote Of last session, but
whether enough to pass the meas
ure is one of the great unknown"
events OF the future. We regret
very much that many friends of
the cause throughout the State have
been too careless about circulating
and returning the petitions. There
has evidently been a great deal of
agitation of the matter all over the
State, and the question is assuming
political aspect Of such proper
tions as makes it one we'll worth
considering in next falls campaign.
But if this awakening had only ma
terialized, as hoped, so as to have
given every voter who wished to,
an opportunity Of signing the petit
tions, the Legislature would have
been buried under the thousands
of names. AS it was, many can
vassers delayed and neglected their
duty until it was too late. Even
now many petitions are withheld,
and cannot reach the Legislature
in time. But no delegate ex-senator
is ignorant of the desire of the peo-
pie to have this question submitted
to vote, and let us hope that they
will grant this desire.
More, when we see how the meas
ure progresses.
WHEELING, w. VA, Jan. "a, '82.
Petitions with about 1000 names
were presented this morning, from
six different counties. Mr.. Fergu-
son moved to take up the Prohibit
DRY Amendment, and to make it the
special order for Wednesday next,
Feb. 1st, at II o'clock, a. m. The
indications are that it will be OPP
posed stoutly, but it is believed it
will pass the House.
Let every friend throughout the
State, who has petition not yet
sent in, send it at at once directly
to their county representative, OR to

IT'S astonishing how Bro. Van

our Writ county neighbors in gen.
erous and sympathetic impulses for
their misfortune in having to pay
big price for mean whisky, all be-

Now that the court has re-licens-

we suppose it will be cheap there,
and our brother will be able to
sleep better.

Yes, and it has stirred up much
feeling among the friends of the
University and of higher education
all over the State
We can imagine no good reason
why the Amendment should not be

But he philosophically explains
that if more of the Republicans and
Democrats had voted the temper
ance ticket, and the Republican
ticket had not received SO many
votes, the result might have been
different Wetzel Messenger.
Our Unabridged" having no
such word as "disgruntled," we
are unable to say whether we've
"got it, slightly or not. The phil
osophical exposition of the concat-
enation of political events in Par
kersburg contained in the foregoing
item, is the offspring of Brother
Harris plethoric imagination, as he
saw nothing Of the kind in the
FREEMAN. However, its much the
best philosophy we've seen in the
Messenger these many moons, on the
subject of politics.
The boy defined "salt as the stuff
that makes potatoes taste bad when
you don't put it on" He was a
twin brother of the boy who said
that pins had saved great many
lives by not being swallowed E1-
change.
We knew these bright lads. They
were the sons of the man who lost
$4,000 one season by not having
hogs to eat up the acorns on his
neighbours woodlands.
The MoundsSille Reporter says
that "a prohibitory law would in
terfere with the rights Of property,
would be unconstitutional and con-
sequently dead letter" Carry the
news to Johnson ! Wetzel Messenger,
No occasion to worry, brother.
We've heard that. The same was
said of the crimes of gambling,
duelling, human slavery, and other
now outlawed wrongs before they
were prohibited by law.
The State Journal dubs the editor
of the FREEMAN a "crank," and we
are of the opinion that the Journal
is about correct.-LincoIn Clipper.
And so your fingers have been
pinched a little by the turning Of
the FREEMAN crank, as you are
pleased to call it, have they? Well,
well, the wheels of Prohibition are
bound to go round, and if naughty
fingers be fooling about the cogs,
they'll be very likely to get hurt.
