Judge Turner. upon application OF the Shen-

junction restraining the treasurer and board OF
supervisors Of Clarke county from collecting
the tax assessed against the railroad company
for The year 1881. The grounds alleged In the
app icalion for the injunction are that there was
some inforinality 10 making the assessment, and
that the railroad company could not be held re-
liable for the tax assessed for county road pur-
poses. All the tax amounts to about d, 400.

scene Of the murder and outrage of
the Gibbons girls last December,
and hanged him to a sycamore tree.
George Ellis was convicted of man

The Real Jailors Of the Irish Patriots.
LONDON, juno 4.-Brennan Lacy,
of the Land League, after his release
yesterday, addressed a large assem-
blage in Kilkenny. He said that his
real jailors were Gladstone, Bright,
Chamberlain, and the whole crowd
of pseudo o-humanitarians and rene
gade Republicans who composed the
British Cabinet. He hoped that il
the 800 suspects were called upon
for real sacrifices they would be
ready, if necessary, to die for their
country. They had seen the gov
ernment acknowledge Michael Davitt
as conqueror, it was true, but much
remained to be done. They must
tear up the very roots Of landlord
ism.

Railway Rivalry ON the Plains.

CHICAGO, June 4.-The fast time
between the Missouri river and Den
yer being made by the rival railroads,
is attracting good deal of atten-
ton. The Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe made the first move, an
nouncing its schedule time of 70
hours between Kansas City and Den
yer.
The Kansas Pacific division of the
Union Pacific retaliated with a &C.
hour train, and now announces a
new through schedule embracing not
only Denver but also Cheyenne, Og-
den and San Francisco. Beginning
Tomorrow, train will reach Den
yer at $50 a. m, the actual running
time being 22 hours and 45 minutes,
The Union Pacific threatens to make
a hot fight now and bring about even
faster time.
The Burlington road will soon be-
gin to run its passenger trains, and
will probably be lively factor III
the fight. AS yet there has been
no cutting of rates.

FIVE TEXAS DRUNKARDS.
Obeying Their Wives-The Mournful
Tale Of Five Obedient Husbands.

There were FIVE of them together,
and it was late. They had been drink
ing. Finally one of them looked at the
clock and said:
"What will our wives say when we
go homer"
"Let them say what they want to.
Mine will tell me to go to the mis-
chief" responded No. Z.
"I'll tell you what we will do. Let
us meet here in the morning and tell
our experience. Let the one who re.
fused to do what his wife told him to
do when he got home, pay for this
evenings entertainment"
"That's good idea; we will agree
to that" So the party broke up and
went to their respective homes.
Next morning they met at the ap-
pointed place and began to tell their
experience.
Said No. L:
when l opened the door my wife
was awake. She said: "A pretty
time of night for you to be coming
home. You had better 60 out and
sleep in the pig pen, for that's what
you will come to sooner or later,
anyhow Rather than pay for all
we had drank last night, l did what
she told me to. That let's me out. "
Next.
No. 2 cleared his throat and said i:
"When ! got home stumbled on
chair, and my wife called: There
you are again, you drunken brute.
You had better wake up the children
and stagger about for awhile, SO they
can see what q drunken brute Of .
father they are afflicted with
thought the best thing / could do
under the circumstances was to obey
SO l woke up the children and stag
gered around until my wife limited
to me to stop. She used chair in
conveying the hint. That lets me
out"
Next.
No. 3 spoke up and said:
II happened to stumble over the
pan Of dough, and my wife said
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1882-06-06

Drunk again. Hadn't you better
sit down in that dough- So l
sat down in it, and that let's me
out"
Next.
No. 4 said:
Il was humming tune, and my
wife called out: There you are
again. Hadn't you better give us a
concertT l said certainly, and be-
gan to sing as loud as l could, but
she told me to stop, or she would
throw something at me, SO stopped.
That lets me out"
Next.
No. 5 looked veey disconsolate.
He said:
II reckon I'll have to pay. NV
wife told me to do something none ot
you would have done, if you had
been in my place -
what was it?''
"She said: so you thought
you would come at last. Now, hadn',
you better 60 out to the we'll and
drink couple of buckets of water
just to astonish you stomach? Tha,
was more than l had bargained for
so it's my funeral. ."-['Texas Sift

The Republicans Making . Showing
for Themselves.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-The House
adjourned early yesterday afternoon,
having seated William NJ. Lowe, the
Greenback- Republican contestant of
the seat occupied by Wheeler as Rep
resentative from an Alabama Dis
trict. The Republicans say that for
the past two months the Democratic
party has made for itself record
that will more than compensate for
all sins of omissions or of filibuster-
ing. In regard to Lynch the facts in
his case were so clear that the Dem
ocrats refused to filibustcr against
his admission. When the Mackey.
Dibble case was called up for the
next day, they refused, by the inter
position of dilatory motions, to allow
it to be considered. A quorum of
NePuOllcanS was present only part
of the time, and it was only when
the rules were amended that the ma
jority was enabled to do away with
what it resolved, every Democrat
who voted in the negative withhold
ing his vote to deprive the majority,
if possible, from performing its con-
stitutional functions. While the
majority in loves case was not so
large as in the cases of Lynch and
Mackey, the facts in his favor were
quite as clearly established as were
those Of the gentlemen first men
toned.

The Sum of Our Offending.

The last Journal waxeth a little
ugly over some FREEMAN remarks
two weeks ago.
Referring back, we find:
The Journal declared in favor of
a straight Republican ticket, at the
coming city election, without ref
erence to license
The FREEMAN asked if there were
any other issues dividing the peo-
pie; and if SO, that they might be
named and discussed.
The Journal wanted a "represen-
tative Republican" ticket. The
FREEMAN asked, Representative"
of what?
The Journal was arguing for a
straight party ticket, without ref
erence to the only real issue before
the people. The FREEMAN exhor-
ted the Journal to "come out in the
dignity of independent manhood
and say, put none but true men on
guard the best ticket for the best
interests of the people,"
And this is the sum of the FREE
MANS offending; and upon this the
Journal is willing to say, eff that
paper had kept it's mouth shut" &c

Mans Inhumanity.

Mans inhumanity to man and
mans Indifference to mans inhu-
mainly is nowhere else so striking
ly and shockingly exhibited as in
the murderous liquor traffic and the
wicked and deliberate federation of
the same by those whose natural
and imperative duty it is to sup
press it. But it may be observed
elsewhere as well. The federation
of sensational exhibitions wherein
The element of danger and risk of
life and limb is that that
draws" is another illustration of
mans inhumanity that isjust now
prominent before the people
The recent instant killing of the
young lady actress by Mr.. Frank
Frayne in theatrical play in Gin
cinnati, was nothing less than in
human murder, and the authori-
ties that allow sensational marks
man to shoot apples from lady's
head, for the amusement of the in
human Of humanity, are them
selves particeps criminis in the
murder.
In this case, as is likely to hap
pen in any such, a slight accident
or mis-aim resulted in shooting
Miss Annie Won Behren thro' the
head, killing her instantly. That
such shows are tolerated, is shame
upon our civilization.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-12-13
Off its Balance.

To show that the Journal was
sadly off balance last week, we
need only quote this:
"If the FREEMAN will allow us to
make comment, we would remark
that if that paper had kept It's
mouth shut and its editor behind
the throne had attended to his
own business, Sam Spencer would
never have been defeated for Com
missioner"
Now, as to this uncommendable
remark, we are moved to observe,
that we have charity enough to be-
lieve that our some-times-inconsid-
crate neighbor, is in ignorance Of
certain facts connected with the
late contest for Commissioner, a
timely knowledge of which had
saved him from indulging in the
above indiscretion; but, we are
constrained to add, that even ig-
norance should never excuse man
from being gentleman.
We are very sure we could give
our Brother some facts, privately,
in reference to the contest alluded
to, that would again move the Jour-
ual to apologize for hasty words and
unjust language toward the FREE
MAN, as the Journal has heretofore
had occasion to do.
IT'S well to "strike while the
irons hot" but not so well to strike
while oneself is hot, with no iron to
receive the blow. In this particu-
lar matter, the Journal didn't know
what it was talkin about.

Iowa Triumphant.

The bowling Of the "hoodlums"
and demons of drink over the dict
UNI of a little whisky-serving
Judge deciding the Iowa Amend
ment unconstitutional, was of short
duration,
The Supreme Court of Iowa has
recently passed upon the same
case, and reversed his pusillani-
nous Honor, the District Judge,
holding the Amendment to be in
due form and in full force and eff
feet.
Now, will the time-serving whis-
ky-apologizing, political papers
throughout the country be as quick
to notice this decision of the Su-
preme Court, as they were to
sound abroad the anti-dictum of
the unknown District Judge? We
shall see.

That False Cry.

To show that the cry Of Gree
whisky" raised by Ohio politicians
to brighten temperance people into
measures for taxing and licensing the
traffic, it is only necessary to no.
tice the Court proceedings in many
parts of the State where the Off
GERS of the law have some regard
for their oaths
In Ohio as in West Virginia, the
sale Of liquors for purposes Of drunk
enness is hedged in by restricting
statutes, to which if sufficient pen
alties were imposed, the traffic
would at once be made hazardous
and infamous.
From an exchange we read:
Judge Bradbury, at Pomeroy,
Ohio, on November 2Sth, sentenced
John T. Thomas, of Syracuse, who
plead guilty to an Indictment for
GplLS a. IOOll w uClC 1uGOAICdUlllS
liquors were sold contrary to law,
to pay a fine of 800 and s67 costs,
and put him under 81 900 bond to
observe the law in future. 1t was
in this case that four witnesses were
sent to Jail over night and fined
SO each and costs for giving eva
sive answers.
And again:
The Grand Jury of Jefferson
county, Ohio, on Saturday last re-
turned sixty-two indictments, as
follows; One for rape, one for dis
turbing a meeting; twenty under
Smiths Sunday law; twelve for
keeping place where intoxicating
liquors are sold in violation Of law
twenty-five for selling liquor to be
drank where sold, and three fol-
selling to minors.
And so the battle against the in
famous traffic goes on in Ohio, as
elsewhere; and let it 60 on, ever il
the same direction of tlaw1ng the
criminal business and never in the
direction of affording it any lega
protection. Let our fight be ag
gressive ever, defensive, ,.ever,
