More Com plain y

A gentleman residing in the vicinity
of Front and King streets came into the
REPUBLICAN office this morning with
a handful of stones that had been
showerel against his door lasr evening"
He states that in some instances his
neighbors let their doors stand open to
prevent them being battered with clubs
and stones. A boy had his head cut
with stone thrown by one OF these
younp law breakers and it is sincerely
wished that the many disgraceful
scenes enacted last evening may never
be repeated in this city.

Between 4 and o'clock last evening
a ninr-ycl, .old son Of Captain William
Chris'v, who resides at Second and
Lo'uh,d streets, met with a serious
accident at Second and Washington
streets. The little boy goes to private
school near by, and after being dismiss
ed was engaged In playing around the
school, when he was knocked down by
a horse, and the wheels of heavy mar
ket wagon passed over him. His head
was badly hurt, and he was taken to

The case Of X. H Rsmford against
the Telephone Company, wAs called tlits
morning before Judge cnmmins with

and john G. Peterson and Henry Y.

In front Of hts place Of business V .
nuisance and On obstruction, and shts
suit is brought to compel the Company
10 remove II.
Mr.. Patterson said that while they
were In earnest In this matter, and
wanted 1t settled ~ speedily as9possible,
there were no many great interests IN.
volved that they would have TO ask for
time to put 10 their defence. He thought
It probable that when the Attorney. Gen
eral returned homo and considered the
great interests involved he might adopt
different course. This In . highly i'm :
portant question, ,as 1t not only involves
the rights Of this corporation TO erect
their poles on the sidewalks, but also
affects the right Of the city to continue
the Are alarm poles on the streets. He
also expected that other counsel would
be sngagel In the case, and he did not
think he conld be ready in less than a
week or ten days.
Mr., Turner said that be had, AZ City
Solicitor, given an opinion against the
right of the city to grant permission TO
any Company to erect poles on the
public streets, but hs had been over
relied by Council. As Deputy Attorney
General he thought 1t due to Attorney
General Gray. that all the papers in
this case should be submitted 10 him
before any further proceedings we're
taken. This is case of great impor-
tance, not only to private individuals,
but also TO the city. He was therefore
willing to grant the time asked for, and
would b. suited with ten days. Judge
Cummins decided 10 cOntinne the case
until Monday, the 18th.

lUOQ|
In regard to Clothing may|
not be amiss at this season,
and the better it is the more
likely you will take to it,
Although some merchants
believe the time to make
profits is only the present
yet we look just as much at
the future, and endeavor to
prove to our customers that
they are to be benefited in
every transaction equally as
much as ourselves. How will
we do this? Clothing, like
everything else (materlal not
considered), is made in SO
many ways that prices vary
even in the same goods,
This can be accounted for in
the trimmings and makeup
both matters Of no small i'm.
portance to take into consid-
Grafton when selecting your
winter purchases. In order
to place before our custom
ers such clothing only as we
can fully recommend,we have
not only kept our entire
force of hands together dur
ing the dull season, but have
a stock Of ready-made gar
ments, which is far superior
toordinary clothing. By max
ing our own goods, we also
make it an inducement for
good hands to work for us
by giving them steady work
all the year. We cordially
invite you to examine oul
stock, take into consideration
3 trimming, make and style
and we will leave the matter
of prices entirely with you'
judgment. For boys ane
< children, we are prepared Il
show an unusually large as
sortment Of all the lates
styles, properly cut,well trim
med and nicely made.

manity, we can but look for and

vote these principles under some

the Senate on this question is de-
nounced by the next State Conven-

How different would it have been

Agitated.

ED. FREEMAN The Wheeling
Register is both comforted and agi-
tated. Comforted, because min
lister of Christ thinks and writes
that the advocacy of the prohibi-
ton policy should cease: agitated,
because the business has in some
of its aspects become so insufferably
devilish, as to cause real alarm
among liquor dealers themselves.
That minister may be very sin
cere, and may have given express
sion to his best conscience and
highest intelligence, in what he
has said, but he has none of the
material in him out of which real
Prohibitionists are made.
We cannot consent to ride on
this temperance railway with our
backs to the locomotive. We want
to see things before we pass them
But even the whisky men feel that
something must be done to stay
the "idea and desire for Prohibition
which gains advocates in the pro-
portion as the evils of the traffic
are made manifest"
IT'S the old cry, somebody stop
US, for we are running Off"
evils of the traffic p Why we
thought it was so regulated that it
was harmless to society and useful
in securing revenue to the State.
What sane man will dare question
this, when eleven temperance Sen
ators Of West Virginia declared in
substance, by speech and vote, that
Prohibition would be worse than
our present policy?
AS Temperance fanatics" we
have no fight with the "evils of the
traffic" but with the "evils of leg
islation," by which the traffic has
been authorized We don't want
the traffic, nor do we need it. There
never was any good in it, and there
fore no good can come out of it.
Abolish the evils of the traffic, and
the traffic itself is dead. Any man
of common sense knows this.

upon the question of Prohibition.
He intimated very strongly that
money had been used by the liquor
interest to defeat the Amendment.
The speech of the day was by
SENATOR FoNTAINE SMITH,
of Marion county.
He is strong speaker, aud was
listened to with unusual interest.
He declared that eighteen Senators
at the beginning of the session,
were for submission J, and he knew
it because they had told him so.
He denied the allegation that they
had been bought, but thought that
the pressure of the saloon interests
coupled with party, had induced
them to fall by the way. He was
for the Amendment, because it was
right; and if it hurt or even
kifed the Democratic party, he
could not help it. He was loudly
applauded.
AN INDIGNATION
was announced for next Sunday.
at'which time eight or ten short,
vigorous speeches will be delivered.
| tell you, brother FREEMAN, our
people do not intend to be longer
trifled with. Before long some
body will hear something "drap''
in this State and if | am not mis-
taken in the signs of the times,
goodly number of demagogues
should stand from under.

Eleven Men VS.. the People.
Notes and Remarks, by Man About
Ioaoa.
ED. FREEMAN:

I'D. FREEMAN
The agony is over, and the will
of the people has been put aside by
eleven men. Those who voted
may" will have to return home
and give an account to the people
they have failed to represent. The
speeches made against the Amend
ihent in the Senate, may well be
classed with the curiosities of lit
erature.
One of two things must be true;
either the opponents of Prohibition
do not understand the question, or
they a0iLt not understand it. We
will see how they will explain it
to their people But am the "man
about town." and as soon as the
news of the defeat of the Amend
ment was received, | started out
to see how the matter stood among
the people.
found those, whether Demo
Gratis or Republicans, who were op-
posed to the legalized liquor-tralfic
very indignant over the defeat, but
determined to carry on the war and
to succeed
The jubilant ones were the sa-
loonists. One of these had dis
patch from Wheeling with, to him,
the precious information that the
Amendment was defeated. The
fellow was half drunk, but happy.
Whenever he met Prohibitiouist
he thrust his dispatch in his face,
exclaiming: "Does you see dot !"
Another saloonist was surround
ed by group of those who have
no objection to their wives sup
porting the family by taking in
washing, to whom he was giving
an account of the defeat. At the
close of this interesting narrative
they cried out in chorus: eve are
mighty glad of it,"
saw more drunken men the
day after the vote than | have
seen III week previous. The Fro
hibitionists are full of pluck and
determination. "Vote for no man fo-
any office hereafter who is opposed
to submitting the Amendment to
the people," is to be- the motto on
the banner now SO say the veter-
ans. "The party Of the future is
the party that will put this princi-
pie of submission into their State
platform" So say Republicans
and Democrats.
The people are sovereign, and
they are going to have their way
about this matter. While they
will say but few hard things about
eleven men defeating their will
they will show their overwhelming
contempt for them at the ballot
box two years hence. 1t is coming.
