Titles and Tar.

Gen. Butler, of Massachusetts,,
bought for a small consideration,
tract Of land containing two hum
dred thousand acres, known as the
Wilson survey, situated in Poca-
hontas county, W. Va. The titles
to these lands it is said, have al
ways been obscure. Those who
have possession have occupied the
property for years and they claim
to have acquired valid titles to their
possession A party of surveyors
were recently driven away by the
settlers who promise to immerse
the Butler party in tar and brim-
stone if they return"
If the General owns any lands
in there he ought to be permitted
to come and get them. If the set
tiers own them they can stay there
and keep their spoons without using
any tar on the eminent gentleman.
The habit of imbibing has be-
come so universal in this city that
beer checks have become u legal
tender Visitor.
And the more you have of such
currency the more hard times,
crime and suffering. What you
need is legal check to your beer-ten-
ders.
We warn the editor of the FREE
MAN against a too profuse criticism
of the items written by the fight
ing editor during our sickness, for
he stands six feet in his stockings
and strikes straight out from the
shoulder.-Sturday Visitor.
We presume it is the fighting edi-
tor who writes your whisky locals ::
that would be in accordance with
the fitness of things. If such be
so, let US caution him against get
ting "too full' of his subject, lest
when he thinketh he standeth
"six feet in his stockings" he fall
into a pile nearer three feet each
way, spirally horizontal.

New Kind of COurtship.

Our young friends will observe,
from the clipping below, from the
Hancock Independent, a new way Of
winning a wife, as practiced in
Ohio. However, we take this occa-
sion for cautioning bachelor teach
ers against trying the same plan
with our West Virginia girls. If
any one is reckless enough to try
it, we suggest that he get ready for
a funeral rather than a wedding.
But here's what the Independent
says:
"The biggest girl in the school at
Hammond's Corner, Ohio, was
whipped by the teacher with great
severity. Her father had the
young man arrested, and few days
ago the case was called for trial.
But the prosecuting attorney said
that the matter had been amicably
arranged the girl was not only con-
WINGED that the punishment was
but.accepted the teachers
discipline for life as his wife"

fess:onal means to pander to the
depraved appetites and vices Of
the worst elements Of society, If
somebody pays for it, then we don't
want to be professional.
Of course the Aduertiser has, as it
claims "the right to be managed by
and in the interest of its owners =
and so has the FREEMAN the sam.
right to criticise anything that goes
out to the public through the Ad-
vertiser's columns, and if the critl-
cism is legitimate and courteous,
we submit that it is neither gratu-
itous nor "unprofessional." If the
FREEMAN or any other journal puts
forth and advocates among the peo-
pie any nostrum, thing or doctrine
that is glaringly hurtful and PERM
cious, it is the Advertiser's right, OBJ
legation, and professional duty to crit
icise, expose and denounce the inn
position, and so shield the people
whom the Press is presumed to
serve. So the FREEMAN, as courte-
ously as it may, and professionally"
always, expects to continue, as oc-
casion may offer, it's criticisms and
condemnation of the practice of
selling newspaper columns for the
purpose of advertising, commend
ing, nurturing and promoting in
our midst, the ruin of our boys, the
wretchedness of our women, and
all the debauchery, misery, crime
and woe, that cluster inseperably
about all licensed bar-rooms and sa-
looms.
If our reminders sometimes make
it uncomfortable for the consciences
of some who by their contracts rate
money above the peace and good of
the people. we can only say that
comfort may be found in respecting
conscience.

Hardy Redeeming Herself.

1t rejoices the patient, toiling
temperance workers all over the
State to find the people in many
localities, seeing the evilsand crime
of the licensed liquor traffic as they
have seen them; and especially is
it matter of rejoicing when one
influential paper after another
comes boldly out Oh the side of de-
cency and right with such clear-cut
expressions as Gusts all servile con-
siderations of policy and time
serving.
We heartily hail and shout back
to the good people Of Morefeld the
following earnest appeal for HUI
manity, clipped from the Morefield
Examiner, and send it on aronnd
with heartiest Communications to
all FREEMAN readers:
The people Of Moorefeld will be
called upon to pass upon the ques-
ton Of "License" or "No License"
at the Corporation election, Satur-
day, the 18th. Forty-two counties
in this State grant no license.
There are but two licensed bar
rooms in this county, and they are
to be found in Moorefeld. How
long shall they be continued? Let
the voters of Moorefeld say, at the
corporation election on Saturday
the 18th. Her peace and good
name demand nolicense. The safe
ty of our boys cry out for mo IL
cense." The weeping children and
the hungry and half-naked wives
of the drunkards appeal to those in
authority to grant no license" The
better instincts of every nature
send up an urgent appeal for "no
license" Every sound argument
is against '1icense." The widows
prayer is for "no license" The
maiden's voice is for mo license"
The wife, the mother, the sister,
and the Christian unite If pro-
claiming "no license" And we
hope a majority Of the voters of the
corporation are for mo license"
Let the watchword and rallying
cry be "no license"

The Saloon Whip.

1t cracks sharply about the ears
of the politician. We are longing
and waiting hopefully for the day
when the earnest demands of the
sober, honest citizenship of the
country, can and will dem and like
attention at the hands of the poll
ticians.
The Cincinnati Gazette, the en-
thusiastic patron of taxing the
liquor traffic in Ohio, walls over
the reluctance of the Ohio Legis-
lature to tackle the Pond bill on
this wise;
There is not a man of average
intelligence in the Senate or
House who does not believe it
right to tax the retail liquor traf-
fic and close the saloons on Sunday,
but there are some of them who do
not dare to vote their sentiments.
They shake all over and gather
themselves up in a corner when the
saloon keeper cracks his whip. AS
President Arthur says, these are
not the men to lead a party to vic
tory, but they are the men who
ought to be spit upon and kicked
out of political existence by the
honest men Of all parties. If their
names shall not be handed down
to infamy, it will not be the fault
of the Gozette, and if they shall ev-
er again be elevated to the posi-
tions which they disgrace, it will
not be the fault of the law and or
der citizens of Ohio.
Take courage, DR.. Leonard. For
opposing the election Of these very
half-and-half demagogues, the Ga
zette was recently denouncing you
and other law and order citizens of
Ohio.
If among the first fruits of the
good seed sown at Loveland last
summer, the Gazette shall be num-
bered as a convert to the doctrine
that principle is more than party,
there is ground for hope.

ton.

We are glad to observe decided
forward movement in Wetzel coun-
ty, in the line of Temperance
work. The following notice, clip
ped from the Wetzel Democrat,
speaks for. itself:
There will be a Preachers Tenn
perance Convention held at the
Baptist Church, Knob Fork, Wet
eel county, W. Va, April 9Th, 1882,
commencing at 2 o'clock, p. m. also
meeting at 7 p. m, There will be
competent speakers. The object of
the meeting is to meet together
and express each others opinions
and further the interests of temper
ance. Preachers Of all denomina-

The Dodgers.

The question of Prohibition has
placed some of our Legislators in a
very unenviable position. None
more so than the Hon.. l.. Hall, of
Barbour. He was known to be IA
vorable to the proposition, or at
least he made his constituents be-
lieve so, but, when the test came,
he twisted over, and voted against
the proposition. He claims to have
been paired with another member,
and being forced to vote, he spiteful-
IL cast his vote the other way. The
Honorable gentleman can't deceive
his constituents. The mere fact Of
pairing off was in effect refusing to
vote for the proposition, and when
forced to vote, he either had to mis-
represent his constituents or disap-
point the saloon-keepers, and he
chose the former,
We are glad to see the stand tax
en- by our Representative, although
the Register man fails to note the
zeal and energy with which he
worked for the amendment. Nor
ris, of the Gazette, says that "Fulker-
son, of Wayne, delivered a mastery
and eloquent exposition Of what
was proper. He is a young man of

Legislative.

Much the greater portion of the
time and labors of the present SEES
sion of the Legislature has been ia
ken up with Acts amendatory Of
the code.
We give below some Of the Acts
passed and signed by the Governor,
outside of the many Acts Of revis-
ion:
An act providing for the crea-
ton of the independent school dis
trict of Belleville. in Wood coun-
ty.
An act changing the boundary
lines of the counties of Greenbrier,
Nicholas and Webster, and annex
ing to Webster portions of the coun-
ties of Nicholas and Greenbrier.
An act appropriating $500 to be
expended in the purchase and dis
tribution of pure bovine vaccine
virus amongst the people of this
State.
An act to authorize the Ohio Cen
trail Railroad Company to construct
a railroad bridge across Elk river at
the point where Patrick street, IN

The Asylum Investigation.

From the report Of the Legisla-
tive Committee sent to investigate
the charges of misconduct, mis-
management, &c, against officers of
the Insane Asylum, it would seem
that the protestations of innocence
were, in some instances at least, a
little bit two emphatic.
The Committee, composed OF both
Democrats and Republicans, are
unanimous, which should give
much weight to the report.
While the Committee report no
evidence showing any unfalthtul-
ness or official mismanagement, 1t
finds the charges Of drunkenness
sustained against Messrs. Dent and
Moore of the Board, and the First
Assistant Physician, DR.. NJ. F. HUI
lehin, and while recommending
the latter's removal, in the former
cases they simply urge the neces-
sitv of selecting men free from such
habits to attend to the executive
duties of the institution"

WEDNESDAY, MARCH Is, 1882.
Credulity.
Parkersburg, W. VI

Under the above head, the Jour-
nal of last week had a vigorous ed
itorial on the credulity of the tenn
perance people Of West Virginia,
in presuming to petition a Demo-
cratic Legislature for the submis-
sion of a prohibitory amendment.
The Journal puts in stalwart and
we'll deserved blows upon the ex-
posed heads of the untaithful dele
gates who twice refused to respect
the petitions of the people. The
friends Of prohibition are glad for
all this, as they are glad for any
thing that tends to weaken the
wrong and strengthen the right !;
but it will doubtless occur to many
of the Journals temperance readers
that it could do much to intensity
the engagement and hasten the
righteous end of the contest, by fol-
lowing up its etfectual blows on
Democratic ''noggins," by putting
in some radical digs under the rot
ten ribs of the abominable liquor
traffic itself, against which the peo-
pie are rising and arraying them
selves for war of determination,
without regard to party.
To advocate submission is well,
and we say, amen; but to advocate
prohibition, its submission, its ADoP-
TIoN and it's ENFORCEMENT, is
well, good, BETTER, BEST. Let US
all join in knocking the common
Observation-Disclosures breeder out
of time, and then "let US have
peace, and all the people shall
shout, amen, amen, and AMEN.

UnprOfessiOnal.

Taking issue with usin the mat
ter of our criticisms on the adver-
Using of bar-rooms and saloons by
our West Virginia exchanges, the
Huntington Advertiser has this to
say:
Upon the new issue raised we
have to say that the Advertiser
does not pretend to be devoted to
the discussion of the temperance
question, neither does it make Il
speciality of advertising whisky
saloons. 1t is business paper, de-
voted to news, and advertising such
business houses as favor it
with their patronage. 1t is in no
sense a tract. 1t is not published
by, or owned or controlled by any
church, temperance or anthem
perance or other organization. 1t
claims the right to be managed by
and in the interest of its owners and
patrons, whose money is utilized in
its mai ntenance. The Freeman is
a temperance organ and good one.
We do not critlcise its manage
ment for adopting this field; that
is their business not ours. May
we say that the Frceman's slurs to-
wards the ADVERTISER are gratuit-
GUS, unnecessary and unprofession-
al.
On this latter charge Of being
"unprofessional," we most assured
ly take issue, for if there be any
thing we especially desire, it is to
be fair, charitable courteous and
PROFESSIONAL with our brethren of
the Press. Unless indeed to be pro-

THE GERMANS PROTEST.

THE GERMANS PROTEST. With
regard to the indignation meeting
of the twenty German Societies Of
Pittsburgh to protest against the
refusal of the Mayor to allow the
selling of beer at balls, Mayor Pc
terson said that he was simply en-
forcing the ordinance prepared by
Councils, which reads that no beer
shall be sold unless a $50 license is
paid. This protest, he said, should
be directed against that body.
