CORRESPONDENCE.
SoliiOquy of the Eleven.

We DID IT: We sent dis
appointment to thousands homes
in our noble State. We ruled. We
were the mighty ones that CONTROL
ed the majority. We were the con-
trolling power behind the throne.
We used the power invested in our
hands, and the people had to sue
cumb. We pleased the whisky
dealers that are growing rich by
robbing women and children of the
necessities of life; by robbing our
young men of their manhood and
their souls. We pleased our polit-
ical bosses Our noble cham pion,
Hon. Mr.. Price, had the honor of
assailing the womanhood of our
State. Just think how bold he
wasl He told them they had bet
ter be at home What right have
they to cry against the liquor traf-
&c? Those meddling mothers
what need they care if their sons
and daugh tiers are sacrificed? What
harm, if somebody does make mon
ey out of the sacrifice? What do
the women of our land know, any
how, about such great matters as
the whisky question? What need
they bother themselves about pro-
hibition Their minds are not ca
pable Of understanding the myster-
les thereof. We alone can tathom
these things. We can adjust the
scales and see where human life,
and all evils of intemperance fails
to outweigh the almighty dollar.
Our friends, the saloon-k eepers, I'M
derstand it. The average states
man, especially the House, and Is
of our Senators failed to comprehend
it. But we, by the aid Of the
Wheeling Register, Gov. Click and
others, understand the question.
We knoU polatics. The women don't.
And we made our point inspite Of
the House, the fifteen women, and
the people! We have made our
selves names that will live. Our
children (f they escape the drunk
ards doom, and don't give heed to
the teachings of their silly mothers)
will rise up and call US blessed"

destroy the traffic in ardent spirits,
until all who execute the law, tes-
tify as witnesses, sit on juries,
guard prisons, advocate and adjudge
cases, have lost their taste for the
crstter, and their sympathy for the
unfortunate who has been caught
handling it; and this will never
occur until toward the middle or
latter part of the millennium.
There is the secret of all this
trouble. Taste for the " critter y
sympathy for the unfortunate who
has been caught" To protect him,
morals most cheap and politics the
meanest, have clear exhibitions.
Law is evaded, hypocracy and peri
ury are winked at as smart and
commendable, and the dignity of
the law, the good order of society,
the protection Of public morals, and
the elevation, of the noble and vir-
tuous, the great objects for which
governments and courts exist, are
ignored or repudiated as mere dust
in the balance when compared with
that Of the protection of the "crit-
ter" and the shielding ofthose who
have a taste for it as beverage.
The coming millennium will bury
in oblivian such cheap morals and
mean politics"

if her sons would only join our So
ciety and leave their present asso-
ciates, she would be freed from a
great burden of anxiety occasioned
by their being out of nights, and
frequently coming home under the
influence of liquor. With tears
in her eyes she spoke of the trou-
bles they brought to her. Her
anxiety and sorrow were such as
only a mother can feel and know,
when crushed by the awful curse
of drunkenness in her household.
When we think how readily
young men of character and re-
spectibility are led astray by the
evil influence of thoughtless com
panions. it becomes US all to see
tina. what influence we have and
can exert, be used to save our fell
lows from the curses of intemper-
ance, the sum of all evils and pa
rent Of nearly all crime.
Wherever we can let us stay the
hand that would tempt any young
man to take the first drink.

Cheap Morals and Mean Politics.
MONROE COUNTY LETTER.
Continued From Last Week. }

Note The writer was considering
a remarkable editorial of the Green
brier Independent, in which the ed
itor declared the temperance move
ment in West Virginia to be a
"bastard attempt to combine CHEAP
morals with mean politics" Our
esteemed correspondent offour score
years continuing his excavations
of the pernicious teaching of the
editor referred to proceeds:
The independent says:-"West
Virginians are of a class that will
net submit to these prohibiting
Jaws, if enacted. Every forest,
gulch and canon would be turned
into an asylum for the smuggler.
The community nearest him would
be, every man, a sentinel to warn
him Of danger, and thus would a
thousand saloons flourish where,
under well regulated laws, there
would not be ten"
Now, if this is true, surely the
maker, the vender, the drinker,
should, by all means, 60 for prohi-
bition-that these thousand saloons
instead of ten, might flourish ! Who
can believe any such things? Do
our whisky editors believe that
West Virginia is composed of such
insubordinate material-such law
defying people as to give to the
smuggler a safe asylum and -four
ishing saloon? deny the foul i'm
putation, and call for proof. Let
the thing be tested, and the loyal
element in due time will step to
the front and see that law is pro-
tected and enforced. This editor
thinks that these smugglers will
be kept, from fear of the officers, as
much as possible from civilization
and be driven into habits of the
most lawless character. The same
may be true of other public evils
affecting human society-the law
defying class are kept from civiliz-
alton and driven into the habits of
the most lawless character; bat
can this be a good reason against
proper legislation, or the enforce
ment of laws for the protection OF
the social compact? Nay, verify
the fact creates the demand for
such legislation. The editor turns

WHEREAS, The Prohibition party
has for the last few years enteraa

has succeeded by hostile legislation
in some States,..in passing.laws.vio-
lating the principle of personal
liberty, destroying Legitimate busi.

WHEREAS, AS the said Prohibit.
ion party has of late years formed

national organization, and by the
means thereof has met with all its
success, while on the other hand
the liberal party has been inactive

only insufficiently and in a few 10.
calities; therefore
RESOLVED, That there now exists
the most urgent necessity for the
formation of a national organiza-
ton, capable of meeting the enemy
when and wherever he attacks our
rights and business interests, and
of Strengthening our common cause
in order to save our property from
confscation and destruction.
Resolved, That our cause is not
only the cause of legitimate bust
ness, but the cause of great princi-
ciples. the principles of personal
liberty, of the protection of men
against the unwarranted and des-
potic usurpation of power belong
ing to free citizens of this city, and
the destruction of the rights which
never can be surrendered to the,
State or society.
ReSoIved, That we congratulate
and at the same time thank, the
State of Ohio for It's last victory, by
which, for the first time of late, it
has arrested the wild and fanatical
prohibition movement,and that we
commend its example of union and
organization to the rest of the
States.
Herein we have their declaration
of principles, and, therefore, know
where to find them. After spend
ing about 100000 out of their
treasury to carry Ohio, the 10th Of
the present month, in the interest
ofliquor and beer and deescrated'
Sabbath, they publicly congratu-
lated the country over the victory
they had won. Perhaps they can
afford to do this and perhaps the
great State of Ohio can afford to
throw herself on the side of such
cause, but | do not believe she can
afford to remain there. When the
smoke of the conflict has cleared
away, and the good people of that
goodly State find out the great
wrong they have inflicted upon
good morals and good government,
they will, l am confident hasten to
place themselves right before the
country and the world.

influence.
(Address Recently Delivered Before tht
Volcano Literary Socjoty.)

EDITOR FREEMAN In d greater
or less degree, we are all subjected
to and controlled by the influence
of those with whom we associate.
We seldom undertake an enter
prise of any Importance without
first consulting a friend, whose ad-
vice, perhaps modified by our own
ideas, we follow. In like manner
our influence over our friends may
be patent for good or evil.
Perhaps the most fatal, and at
the same time, most frequent ex-
perience of evil intiuenc e is that
by which the young man is induced
to take his first drink.
While it may be fact that many
generous hearted, and in many re-
spects worthy men, indulge in the
friendly or social glass, as they call
it, yet it is far more serious fact
that nearly all who indulge moder-
ately at first, seen become slaves to
the influence of the evil appetite
and finally end their days suffering
the torrents Of the drunkard.
Considering the evils of social
drinking let US inquire-Is there
anything the young people can do
to influence and save their COM
panions from the tolls of this de-
mon of drink ?
I answer, there is. There is a
project on foot to organize a Glitter
airy" for the young men Of Volcano
and vicinity. The object is to
bring in those who are in the habit
of frequenting the saloons, when
they have nothing particular to do
and who very often get themselves
into trouble and disgraceful broils
by putting themselves under such
evil influences.
If this organization be projected
it undou btedly may be made not
only interesting and instru ctive,
but Of great benefit to Volcano. 1t
can be made the means of saving
many young men whose talents are
too valuable to be thrown away
among the saloons. By means of
such aft organization we may build
up an influence for good that can
not be estimated.
The question Of how to save the
young men from ruin by drink
is old, but it must be remembered
intemperance is still older, and SO
long as it continues to curse hu-
mainly there will be brave hearted
patriotic men to battle against it.
Among the influences used in
maintaining the virtues of temper
ance and counteracting the evils
of the liquor traffic none are more
potent than Temperance Litera-
ture. Too much cannot be said in
honoring those who are publishing
temperance newspapers in the con-
test for the protection of our homes
and families from the curse of
drink.
1 heard young man of Volcano
say recently, that if he could be
freed from a habit of drink he would
be the happiest man iu town. This
was a few days after he had been in
a drunken revel. He was full of
penitence, and l am glad to be-
lieve he has not tasted drink since
and that his influence is now be-
ing used efectually in behalf OF
his companions.
If this world is getting better,
it is through the influence of good
men and women. A Volcano mo-

The Foreign Com merce of Boston in
Grave Peril.

The journal says: One OF the strongest e,i.
dences we know of in connection with the
present firmness of the trunk line pool is the
fact that its very strength bids fair to strangle
the foreign commerce Of Boston. New York
City, as all acknowledge owes its pre-emi-
nence to the fact that the cheaper rates of
transportation via the Erie Canal enable IL to
bid defiance to other seaports during the su M
mer months. while during tha wintar its rail-
roads place it upon par with other cities.
Before last summer, when the trunk line pool
was a reality instead of a farce, as formerly,
our Boston steam lines running to England,
eto., were supplied with outward cargoes. But
with the opening of the Erie Canal in 1882,
with its cheap freights and the refusal Of the
trunk line managers to grant Boston a rebate
upon grain destined for export, as requested
by the Boston roads, the foreign steamships
found it very difficult to obtain cargoes here,
and the consequence, as will be remembered
was that many steamers went to other ports
(soms OF which have not returned), and it was
only with great difficulty large share of the
remaining vessels secured cargoes. In several
instances the lines even pad for the privilege
of carrying grain across the ocean to Liverpool
ana GLASGOW.
The present season the same difficulty con-
fronts the export interest of the city, and In a
more or less degree the import trade. The
management OF the several roads terminating
here have petitioned the trunk line magnates
in favor of allowing Boston special rebate
upon grain for export lin sufficient quantities
to load the regular lines OF steamships running
between Boston and England, &c 1t would
seem as If this differential rate should be al
lowed Boston, but as 1t would conflict with
the pool arrangement with other cities the
outlook so far as Boston is concerned, is not
very encouraging, since, after duly consider
ing the subject, the trunk line presidents
have evolved the following answer to the Pc
tition OF the Boston roads. The trunk line ex-
ecutive committee has received and considered
fully the representations of the Boston rail
lines, touching grain rates gin competition with
the Erie Canal and the Hudson river to New
York, and with every desire to relieve the
disabilities represented to exist, and sympa-
thizing fully with the irregularities and losses
that ensue at and via Boston, it is neverthe-
less
Resoired, That tha establishment OF such a
precedent must be declined upon the broad
ground that the lowest rates cannot be made
TO the farthest point, and it cannot be conceded
that the rivalry of the Erie Canal be met at
Boston, which the canal does not reach, when
1t is declined at New York. which is its actual
point OF competitive action.
Or in other words, as the allowance of a
special rebate would break up the pool, 1t can
not be sanctioned
