HARPER & BROTHERS, New York.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-01-25

1t is the opinion of very many that
in the recent campaign in Ohio
the Democrats did manage to some
extent the Prohibition movement,
and possibly they did, but outside
of that particular case, when has it
ever been done? In Maine for the
last thirty years this question has
figured to greater or less extent in
the selection of men for office, but
has this figuring been altogether on
the Democratic side? Was it this
Democratic side-show that made
st. John Governor of Kansas Dare
the Sentinel say that such was the
case in Parkersburg at the recent
election? Would there be any
sense in the Democrats in this
State fixing up side-show to draw
votes when they are already in the
majority by ten or fifteen thousand?
In my political views l have al
ways been and am yet in sympathy
with the Republican party, there
fore | feel free to express myself on
this question. Fright is right, and
wrongs no one"
Again: If the Sentinel is correct.
the Prohibitionists of our country
are little more than set of ignor-
amuses, capable of being gulled by
political party. This is not the
case. A fair share of the piety and
intelligence of the country are on
the side of Prohibition, and to init
mate otherwise shows either mex
cusable ignorance or willful at
tempt to depreciate In the public
mind the efforts that honest men
are making toabolish the infamous
liquor-traffic. IF it is possible at
all for us to prohibit by law the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants
as beverage, and thus lend help
ing hand to struggling humanity
certainly the Sentinel, and all other
like papers, should encourage the
work or, at least, remain silent and
not by ridicule and otherwise, get
directly in the way. DELTA

Is it Side ShOw?-What the Graf
ton Sentinel Saith.

ED. FREEMAN: In recent issue
Of the above-named paper, the edit
or unburdens his mind in the fol-
lowing remarkable language: "The
Prohibition ticket is generally a
Democratic side-show to draw off
Republican votes" We confess our
surprise at seeing such an under
handed fling at the noble cause of
Prohibition in paper that ranks
favorably with the leading journals
of the State, and one that we have
always looked upon as willing and
ready to help along any question
of moral reform. In the above par
agraph two charges are made, one
directly against the Democratic
party, and the other against the
Prohibitionists. Both are false. That
the prohibition ticket is generally
a Democratic side-show is not true.

QUERY.-For experts in Bible

book of jeremiah ?
Answer without running over

A TEXT Stuck To.-At West
Virginia Camp-meeting not many
seasons ago, occupying an upper
bunk in camp-quarters at night,
were a number of lively young
brethren, including prominent
young minister, now ex-President
of University. These young folks
were consuming the night in pass
ing innocent jokes, quoting poetry,
and in happy sayings, keeping up
a jolly racket generally, to the great
trying of the patience of the elder
shepherds in Israel, who occupied
the lower bunk, and who longed
for the slumbers that came not for
the racket above them.
AS last, in a iovial banter, an up
per brother said to the upper minis
ter, Brother -, preach US a SER
mon."
Every WE'LL" said he, "give me a
text"
At this, a deep, patriarchal voice
from the borders of the land of
dreams, came up from the bunk be-
meath them Cpl give you good
text if you'll stick to it,
"All right. I'll do my best" was
assured.
Commune with thine own heart
upon thy bed and be still"
The Rev. Brother stuck to his
text, and it is needless to say, the
sermon had more than usually
happy effect The congregation
were all sound asleep in few min
utes.
WHAT FooT.-An Irishman
and an Englishman were seated be-
fore a fire warming, the latter ex-
tending toward the CRATE, to be
thawed out, remarkably big I'M
derstanding.
What foot !" calculated Pat.
"My foot is just as God made it"
was the gruff response.
CAN sure" said Pat, "tis much
the largest ever saw of his make. "
DEA ON JONES, STAND UP!-A
preacher was discoursing on the
specific sins of his congregation,
and growing warm with his sub
ject, cried out, "Show me drunk
ard"
Promptly interrupting, man
down by the door, full Of liquor,
struggled to his feet and responded,
"Here I am, (hic) Parson."
After awhile the minister, APP
preaching another climax, shouted
out: where is the hypocrite ?"
There coming no respone for a
moment, the drunken man, point
ing across the seats, cried out, "Dea-

A Lasting Debt of Gratitude.

ED. FREEMAN: The United
Brethren Church, in Parkersburg,
and throughout our Conference,
owe lasting debt Of gratitude to
number OF gentlemen in our city,
together with the Gluck Brothers
of Troy and Auburn, West Va.
Our church house in Parkers-
burg, as many are aware, was sold
under the hammer last February,
by parties living at Cow Run, O.,
who held a mortgage of over $4,000
against the property. At the sug-
gestion of Hon. S. p. Wells, of this
city, syndicate was formed, who
bought the property of the above
named parties and gave the Church
an opportunity to redeem it. This
Syndicate advanced the money for
the property, about $3.50 in all,
and got the deed from the parties
The Syndicate was composed Of
the following-named gentlemen
Hon. S. p. Wells, l.. N. Epson,
r. Leach, Harry Thomas, J. c. and
w. T. Gluck.
On Mr.. J. H. Spence and DR..
Warner devolved the arduous labor
of securing this large amount of
money, and had not Mr.. Spence de-
voted much of his time at home
and abroad, securing money to meet
the Indebtedness on our house Of
worship, it would not have been
saved to us. OF the amounts secur-
ed in this city toward discharging
the church indebtedness, the follow
ing Parkersburg gentlemen gave US
the following sums: Hon. 5. Z.
Wells, Hon. j. N. Camden, Col. w.
P. Thompson, and Messrs. J. V.
Rathbone, ST., Henry Logan, w. H.
Wolfe, and l.. N. Epson, each one
hundred dollars; Messrs. Dave D.
Johnson, Harry Thomas, and T.
Leach, fifty dollors each; and
Messrs. w. N. Chancellor, R. B.
Taylor, John Gould, Daniel Gould
and Hon. C. T. Caldwell, twenty
five dollars each; these fifteen gen.

1915. Numerous other smaller
amounts were received in this city
by myself and others, the donors of
which have our sincere thanks.
To Brother Wells we are especially
indebted as Church and Confer
ence for his timely assistance, and
the interest he has manifested from
first to last in this matter.
May the members of the United
Brethren Church of Parkersburg
never betray the confidence which
these gentlemen have placed in
them as a body of Christians; for
said some of these parties to us,
eve do not wish you to leave Par
kersburg, we cannot do without
your church"
May Providence graciously smile
upon all who have given to this en-
terprise, either at home or abroad.
Yours truly,
