TO allow the law TO remain in force,
that compels attorneys to perform
this labor for nothing, often against
their will. It is maxim Of law, old
as the common law itself, that says,
THAT no persons laborshall be taken
without just compensation" and
when person is employed by a State
or by another person, and refuses to
allow such person n just conpensa-
tion for his labor, is there tribunal
in this broad land that would not
compel the State, or party employing
such person, to pay to him reasona-
bic compensation for the work and
labor performed by him? l should
think not. The laws Of our State
have made ample provision for all
other citizens within her borders, for
any honorable service rendered by
them for her, yet the present Leg
islature in all its wisdom, in this era
of progress has said that the poor,
poverty stricken attorneys, after hav.
ing spent what little means they
may have had in preparing them
selves for their profession must give
a large portion Of their time, talents
and labor to the great State of West
Virginia, for absolutely nothing. II
the attorneys are thus compelled to
give their services to the State in
the way of defending her pauper
felons for nothing, why not make it
compulsory on physicians to treat
them for nothing and furnish the
necessary medicines Besides, such
a law would be in keeping with the
action of rejecting the excellent bill
offered by representative G. W. Tip
petit, some days ago. We believe in
the good old maxim of "equal and
exact justice to ALL" professional
men included. PHILLIP.

C~oMHENDABLE F~RANKNESS.

We give the editor Of the West Vir-
ginia Freeman credit for commendable
frankness and directness in its responses
to our little catechism.
We have fresh hope for the Freeman,
not to say increased respect for it, since
il has consented to answer pertinent
questions directly and truthfully at the
expense of proving its own inconsistent
ey.
Were we not afraid of driving it to
retrace its first step toward reform in
this regard, we would continue to press
it with such interrogatives as would,
probably, result in putting it, by its W
arguments, upon a practical temperance
platform that would not only be con-
sistent in itself but successful as a meas
ure of reform.
Now, since the editor of the Freeman
has frankly admitted that q license law
is 3 Temperance measure" and de
clares itself decidedly opposed to the
repeal Of the license law, and a free
traffic in liquors" we hope 1t will here
after see the inconsistency of referring
to the license law as '1egalizing crime"
and "sanetioning the hellish traffic in
liquors. and "giving the sanction of
law to the destruction of the homes of
our citizens and all the train of evils
that intemperance brings with il"
Further than this, We hope that the
editor of the Freeman will also see the
inconsistency, hereafter, of denoune-
ing those who merely differ with it as
to the expediency of the means and
to be employed in temperance
reforms; who, for example, regard efi-
Gent license laws as more effective tenn
perance measures than absolute prohibi-

The PrBLIc SCHOOLS OF WHEEL,
ING.

The public schools of Wheeling are
bcginning to be q matter ofjust pride
and Qualification, not only to u own
citizens who have children to educate,
bot 10 citizens Of the State and the
,r5ends Of schools everywhere, who OBJ
<ervesnd appreciate progressive methods
In ~elncatien.
Our city schools are examples of the
Immense influence aud power a proper
system Of education can become in
e~leyaSing the tone of a community,
wkes: backed by an abundance of
ml1h,s and the brains and enterprise to
jvSs esly apply it.
There has Deen q wonderful advance
mtnt made in u local schools and the
rfethods employed, within the last few
mohths, and since the exhibitions given
efthese, 3 few days ago, which were
attended by nearly all the legislators
aud other visitors to the city, as well as
very largely by u own people, a very
much higher estimate and appreciation
ofthese improvements have beenpreva-
lent throughout the city. They have
become common topics of conversation
and ealogy, which are not very usual.
The efficient superintendent, Prof.
BIRCH, has been gradually introducing
some Of the more modern and sensible,
as well IS practieal, methods of strain
ing the young idea'' which are doing
wonders toward both increasing the in
terest ofthe pupils in the schools and
Increasing their development, as well.
We noticed that the entertainments
g4yes ON the ed inst, included among
other new features, gymnastic exercises,
in which the pupils were enthusiastically
entertained rs well as the visitors. The
young animal life Of the children was
thus given a chance to employand vent
itself as well as their intellectual activi-
ties. It Is simply a matter of surprise
that the stupidity which pre-
walls to such an extent in our eduea-
fional methods generally, should on
finue to shut out and ignore the great
advantages to the young pupil Of such
training as win inform him as well IS
secure him the inestimable lessons and
benefits Of carrying physical develop
ment along with the intellectual. Is
pecialiy 50 when these physical K
efvises serve not only to promote the
mental training Of the child, hut make

united and unrestricted traffic and de-
bauchery in the matter OF dealing with
the liquor question.
This Is the inconsistency to which we
refer In the course which the Freeman
has been accustomed to conductits tenn
perance campaigns. II Is the n great
drawback to all practical reform. The
men who conduct so-called temperance
campaigns are VIGOROUSLY the most in
temperate men in aoommunity in their
manner Of dealing with apraetical ques-
ton. They fail to perceive that eract
truth is at last the only efficient weapon
to bring enduring results and reforms in
any pnblic movement. Exaggeration,
Misrepresentation, and appeals to pas
sion and prejudice, do not reach reflect
the judgment of a cool. calculating and
intelligent public sentiment, upon which
all such reforms depend. The "boys
first book says "be virtuous and you
shall be happy" and the later edition,
which is written in the experience and
judgment of men Of mature years and
enlarged views of life and things, reads,
"be truthful and you shall be trium-
plant"
Now we have answered all the ques-
tions which the Freeman has in turn
propounded to us, that are pertinent to
the controversy as between us. We
should have no objection to answering
the others Seridtim If We wished to 60
into an extended discussion of the
whole liquor question. The Freeman is
already acquainted with our views in
detail, and it is not necessary to con-
sumo space in r~eitterating them here.

The first time met John G.. Carlisle
said prominent man to a reporter, che
was country boy Oil a farm just back of
Covington. He was pale, studious boy,
working hard all day on the farm and
studying and reading by night. Visited
his family several times and I always
found john sitting off in one corner with
big book in his hand. He was a quiet
kind of fellow, speaking only when spo-
ken to. When he was about seventeen
years old he started to teach school.
He was rather shy at first, but in few
weeks his pupils all adored him. He taught
In little out-of-the-way school house, and
the story goes that he fell desperately in
love with young lady who lived in Cow
ington. Carlisle's wife has wonderful in
duence over him, and it was due to her
that he did not go the way of too many
young politicians who come to Frankfort
and get a taste Of the liquor that is sold
there.
II remember the case that gave him
local fame. It was his first speech. I can
see Carlisle now as he stood up in the court
room, with copy of the Revised Statutes
in his hand. He had that same weary,
studious look in his eyes, that same
cold, passionless expression on his pale
face that he has to-day. Without the least
degree of nervousness, in plain, calm, q uiet
way he began his speech. You could see that
he had mastered every detail. Without
telling an anecdote or cracking joke there
was something so winning in his voice and
in his manners that the interest never
tagged. When he had finished the lawyers
all crowded around him, the Judge shook
him warmly by the hand and Tom Jones.
who happened to be in the court room, told
him he had great future before him.
From that day his fortune was made.
Not long ago Carlisle cleared widows
