Prohibition Glasses.
"Now We See through GIass"-Not
so Darkty.

ED. FREEMAN The prohibition
sentiment is growing, A recent
trip into Roane, jackson, and
through Mason, to the lower ex-
tremity of Cabell county, has re-
vealed this fact to our mind.
Democrats and Republicans are
recognizing this fact in all of these
counties. Once the idea Of such a
prohibition sentiment would have
seemed preposterous, but temper
ance men and temperance prlncl-
piles are coming to the front in
these latter days.
1t rejoiced us all over, to learn
that such stauch prohibitionist
as Prof. Reynolds, of Kanawha.
was candidate for Congress in the
Third District. The Professor is a
great and good man, and sober
men Of all parties can safely vote
for him. We simply refer to this
gentleman because we are person
allv acquainted with him, and
know him to be q man who can
be trusted.
All four of the nominees for the
Legislature in Jackson county, we
learn, have publicly declared their
purpose, if elected, to favor sub
hitting the prohibitory amend
ment to the people.
The two nominees for Commits
sioner in Jackson, are good men.
Hon. G. w. Shinn, is the Republi-
can nominee for said office, and is a
staunch anti-licensc man, and one
who has been tried on that ques-
ton in his own county. The Dem
ocratic nominee is Mr.. George
Grow, gentleman who is highly
respected, and whose character is
of the highest type, and his friends
say he is sound on the temperance
question.
Whenever you see whisky men
get mad and swear when they are
talking politics, you may set il
down that the temperance people
are crowding them. We heard q
fellow do this in the presence o.

respondents, and Samuel james,

ED. FREEMAN Il herewith send
YOU $3.50 with the names of three
more subscribers to the FREEMAN
on probation, hoping that you will
have the privilege of receiving
them into full fellowship at the be-
ginning Of the new year.
l rejoice with all my heart at
the evident progress Of prohi-
bition sentiment throughout the
country where l travel. Politi-
clans are beginning to recognize it
as a power in the land which it
will not do for them longer to ig-
more, hence nearly all their con-
ventions introduce prohibition
planks into their platforms.
Success to the FREEMAN. May
it accomplish its mission.

The city Of New Haven, in the state of
Connecticut, with an exceptionally intell-
gent population of 81, 1882, of whom 81 are
Chinese and are Indians, is fraction of
a congressional district which elects rep
resentatlve to congress-, and smaller frac-
ton of the state, which sends two senator's.
The sum total of its representation in con-
gress does not amount to anything like a
single vote. On the other hand, there is the
free and independent state of Nevada, with
two votes in the United States senate and
one in the house representing a population
of 81, 266-a little less than that of New
Haven-and of these 5, 416 are Chinese and
2,S02 are Indians. So it is seen that there
are serious inequalities of representation,
if not of political rights, even in the United
States. where all men are supposed to be
equal before the law.

CHIEF JUSTICE DURFEE has decided, at
Providence, r. l., that the So called repu-
tation clause in the Rhode Island liquor
law of 1881 is unconstitutional. The clause
reads as follows: Every person who shall
keep a place in which it is reputed intoxi-
eating liquors are kept for sale without hav-
ing license therefor, except as provided
in section SIS OF this chapter, shall be fined
not more than 500 or imprisoned more than
thirty days, or both." Judge Durfee says
that this law makes it possible to punish an
innocent man simply for what other people
say about him, and, therefore, deprives
him of all the constitutional safeguards of
ife, liberty, and property.

GATH" gives an amusing description of
those who visit Guiteau. He says man
belong to the same tribe that goes to catch
penny museums in the cities. They spend
their youth as their parents before them
did, in looking at the two-headed girl and
the educated hog. Education has left them
with the same general sentiments, and they
would rather go to see Guiteau and COM
pliment him in the Jail than to spend day
at Mount Vernon around the grave of
Washington. Then there is another class,
saturated with foolish characterization
and humanitarianism. They say: "Poor
man! he mnst have been badly enough
brought up neglected in his childhood;
therefore, he is not responsible. We will
90 back and atone for that childhood by
having him pardoned and reformed" But
far the largest number no not bother them
selves about sentiment and simply want the
privilege of truthfully saying that they
have "seen Guiteau," in the triumphant
tone of those who never tired Of imparting
to the less favored, manifold sights and ex-
periences, when we we're ut the GEN.

The New York legislature is no longer at

The New York Legislature is no longer at
a deadlock. Over five weeks passed with
out an organization, owing to the arrogant
demands of the small Kelly faction Of the
democratic party, which assumed IT, dictate
the appointment Of leading officers. The
democrats, though in a majority, could not
organize without the aid of this faction.
But the Kelly crowd finally succumbed to
outside pressure and cast their votes for
the regular caucus nominee of the party.
The last Legislature was at deadlock for a
longer period on the senatorial question.
All this kind of business is expensive and
annoying to the great masses of the people,
whatever the politicians may think of it.

Mr.. Seney's Princely Gifts.

George L. Seney, president of the Metro
politan National bank, N. Y, belongs to the
class in which Peter Cooper is conspicu-
GUS figure, which prefers to make it's bene-
factions before death. He has already
giten away in specific manner 81 500. 900,
and it is supposed as much more of which
no record is kept. When asked the other
day why he made these various requests
during his life, he answered.: First of all,
because feel that am trustee RESPONSE
BILE for the right use of the money given me.
I believe that I am the person best quail
fed to carry out the provisions and duties
of that trusteeship. By making these gifts
in my lifetime am sure that the precise
object I desire is accomplished in just the
way want, and then, too, am more and
more convin ced that it is more blessed to
give than to receive. The great danger of
increasing riches is that it fosters dis
position to hoard money only for the sake
of boarding it. It becomes money mania
with rich men. They gloat over their mil
lions just because they are millions, and
not because. of tie happiness producible
from them"

The disposition in some quarters to es-
tablish civil list Of pensioners should be
summarily checked. Pensioning judges of
the supreme court was the first move, then
came, in one instance, pension to the
widow Of an ex-president, and now it is
proposed to put the widows of all the ex-
presidents on the pension list, and some are
in favor of still further enlarging the list,
SO as to embrace district judges, cabinet
officers, and host Of others who may have
served the country in various civil capac-
titles. The whole business is of foreign,
origin and contrary to the theory and the

ScoyiIIe Talks About Guiteau.

scoville pronounces the story that Mrs.
Sooville is insane, as false. He says she
is naturally under high state of excite
ment, but her mind is entirely sound. He
also declares the story of her having raised
the row in the Daniels house, Chicago,
false; that it was made out of whole cloth.
He Declares that there is not word Of
truth in it. He and other relatives of Gui-
teau have no doubt that the body Of the as
sassin will be delivered to them after exc
cution. Scoville appears to regard favor
ably the proposition to exhibit the body of
the assassin, but John Guiteau denounces
it and says it shall not be done. Scoville
has expended his money in the trial, and il
is said he would not object to being reim-
bursed by the sale of the body in case Gui-
teau is executed.

The New York Herald Of the Sd has the
following from their special correspondent

Tammany has never been able to frame an

it's action in the senate and with the hope
Of finally effecting compliance with all its
demands; but the Tamnnany representatives
have based their refusal to vote for the
caucus candidate solely on the ground that
they were inimical to the anti monopoly in
terest. The action of the representative
men of the anti monopoly party in indors-
ing Mr.. Patterson left Tammany no show
but to abandon that excuse so far as he was

from the preceding week, and an increase
of thirty-fo over the corresponding week

A Shooting ARRAY in Washington.

A shooting affair occurred at about $50
o'clock Thursday night in the editorial rooms
of the National Republican of Washington.
No one saw the occurrence except the
parties interested, although Frank 3. Con-
ger, son of the Michigan senator, was in the
Immediate vincinity at the time. The true
state of the case is therefore difficult to arrive
at. The result is that A. NJ Soltedo, we'll
known but not very reputable journalist, is
probably fatally shot, and Clarence Barton,
news editor Of the Republican, is wounded BY
two bullets; but it is believed not dangerously.
There has been bad blood between Soltedo
and Barton for some time, owing to the pub
q house Of i'll fame, about two months ago, be-
tween Soltedo aud police officer. The row
resulted in a prosecution and counter suit in
the police court between Boltedo and the police
man, al Of which was Published in detail in
