land, Richie county, held by DR..
Warner. The Doctor delivered a
stirring address, and gave the traf-
tic some very heavy blows.
Although the audience was small
from the fact that it was very
stormy night, yet we think every
one was stirred up to make still
greater efforts for the destruction of
the accursed traffic. Almost, if not
every voter in the house signed the
petitions.
Bro. Douglas, who is a whole
souled worker for prohibition, had
charge of this part of the work,
You may rest assured the FREEMAN
was not forgotten. The canvass of
the house gave us seven subscri-
bers. You will say that does pretty
well for an audience Of not more
than twenty-five. We think our
little meeting will bear abundant
fruit in in the future.

ing Il Christmas tree for the little
folks, but they got into fight in
the saloon, in which Il Ratchet and
billiard cues played a prominent
part. One man was so severely in
jured that his recovery is doubtful.
Some of the others were somewhat
bruised up. The bar-keeper
thought that prudence was the
better part of valor and beat a hasty
retreat.
Oh, may God hasten the time

to be seen in our State. May the

1923 DOUGLAS ST, OMAHA, NEB., |
December 10, 1881. {
ED. FREEMAN: | have been in
tending to write you a letter these
many days, and now l am at it.
Since leaving my beloved nativ-
ity, (West Virg;nia), | have travel
ed over all the Missouri Valley from
the limits of Dacotah Territory to
Kansas City, Cor, indeed, to st. Lou
is, but over this lower part so rap
idly as to know but little of it), and
have had opportunities to see the
inside of the liquor-traffic.
HIGH LICENSE NEBRASKA.
The "Gate City" has 100 regu-
larly licensed saloons. In Septem-
Der | canvassed the whole Southern
part of the city, and talked with
the proprietor Cor bar-keeper, if the
proprietor could not be found), of
every saloon in that part Of the
city. [ did the same with about
half of the other parts Of the city.
My business was such as to afford
me the best of opportunities to
learn how they felt as to their Sc
curity in the business.
The law provides that no license
shall be granted fora less sum than
$500 a year, and in towns and cities
having certain population or
more, the license shall not be less
than $1,000 per annum. None save
those doing a lucrative and extern
sive business can make a living at
ter paying their license and other
running expenses.
Said a sea captain to me, Il do not
know that | shall continue longer
than the LIST of January. l do but
a small business and Icannot afford
to pay the license under the new
law, which goes into effect then"
A black-eyed sinner of fewer
years than the Captain, said: 81
Shall not be here after the LIST of
January. l am fixing to move my
business to Iowa. The laws are
driving all of the business out of the
State; they are so bad that nobody
can do business under them. |
shall go where | can do something"
Remarked one in my hearing {:
at is not here like it is in the East.
Here they look down on one who
sells liquors, but there they have
no such foolish notions, and sa-
loon-keeper is respected as much as
if he were in any other business.
Heshowed that moral sentiment
is no trivial thing-to be regarded
or disregarded, at pleasure.
In most of the towns in this State
there are saloons that do paying"
business, but January LIST, 1882"
will be too heavy for most of them
to carry, and I take their own
words for authority in this state
ment.

ST. ALBANs, Dec. 25, 1881.
ED. FREEMAN l write you Christ
mas day. | believe it to be a duty
| owe to God and man to agitate
the question now publicly before
the people of West Virginia.
Can't we do something to abate
the great evils of the ruinous traffic.
Whisky was the principal and pis-
tolls the instruments Of four bloody
murders in this county (Kanawha)
in the last six weeks. Four respec-
table, good citizens shot down here
by the desperate class! Where is
the end of this? 1t can be found
only in the entire abatement of the
liquor-traffic. All good citizens,
men, women and children, demand
this. The morals of society de-
mand it; our civilization demands
it, and every tie of consanguinity
that has warm hold in the
breast of each good citizen in our
State demands it, and for Gods
sake let US have it For the sake
of our families, our dear children,
let us have it. Let peace and good
order be proclaimed from our stat
ute books, that the lives of our
peaceable citizens be not jeopardi-
zed by these fearful dangers from
flashing knives and revolvers in
the hands of drunken maniacs.
Let us have legislation that will
destroy the principal and prevent
his instruments, the deadly revol-
vers being carried as they are in
this section by young men and
middle-aged, black and white, and
by old men as well as small boys.
What canw expect from the flu
ture of our young men, if they are
permitted to grow up in these
schools where whisky riots, de-
bauchery and murder prevail?
AS remedy for the revolver nui-
sance, let the Legislature pass law
requiring a license from every per-
son carrying one. Let a commits
sioner in each district have charge
of the granting of these licenses.
Discreet persons travelling should
be permitted to have something for
their protection, butseven-eights of
the people have no use for revol-
YER. Let the commissioner then
search out, arrest and fine 500, ev-
cry man or boy found with a revol-
yer without a license, one-half the
fine to go to the informant and one
half to the State. A few fines in
each district would make revolvers
very scarce, aud we would soon get
rid Of them entirely.
Wishing our temperance work
much success, am,
Your friend,
Our friend H. allows himself to
be led into the same fatal error in
regard to carrying revolvers, that
some good men seem to be hope
lessly encased in with reference to
the liquor traffic.
Both are acknowledged nuisances
and fruitful of crime and loss of
valuable lives, without an atom Of
good in them. Both are wrong and
should be prohibited and not licen-
sed. There is no possible need of
revolvers, even for defense. They
are no protection against assassins
and murders, and are worthless for
defense.
Let the carrying of them be pro-
hibited, as liquor-selling should be
prohibited, and then put on your
fine of 500 for every violation Of
the law of prohibition. This is our
way.
