Our Murders.

Whence come they? Comelthey
not, generally, on account of strong
drink? Who denies it, except
some whisky makers and whisky
vendors? But what are the facts
in the case? Sorrowing wives,
desolate mothers, ard orphaned
children, if allowed to speak, could
tell wonderful story on the sub
ject.
The morning papers tell the tale.
They say such an one was killed
last night at certain saloon, or
such an one committed suicide !;
he had been on spree for week,
etc. What was the cause of his
death? Strong drink. What
caused the noble young man to
fall, and thus give up his manhood
and throw stigma upon the name
of his family? Whisky, whisky,
did it. What causes our prisons to
multiply, and our taxes to increase
annually? Whisky is at the bot
tom of it. What causes such squal-
lid poverty in many of our large
cities to-day? Whisky is the pow
erful underlying cause. The bloa-

tee faces, red eyes, and pimpled

can be but one answer, strong
drink. Do people know these facts ?
Certainly they do. Why, then, is
the evil tolerated. Because of the
money there is IN it. Thereby

people purer life or preached to
them more wholesome precepts
than did the great Jewish law-giv-
er, nor did any ruler ever inaict
severer penalties for violation of
moral obligations than did he. His
laws and his examples have been
the foundation of all governments
since his day
Should governments RELY entire
~ upon moral suasion, what would
be the state of society? Is the wri-
ter of the sentiments above quoted
willing to lay aside the protection
OF the law and leave himself and
his property at the mercy of pop
ulace who are subjected to no other
restraints than those of moral
suaslon. We have no idea he
would.
If law is necessary to restrain
men from stealing your property,
is it not equally as necessary to
restrain them from robbine YOU of
that which you hold more dear
than riches-of the peace of your
homes, of the hopes Of your child
rem?
Is not he who lays snares for the
feet of the unwary and lures him
to his ruin as morally criminal as
he who assaults you on the public
highway and demands of you your
hard-earned cash? You restrain
the one by rigid legislation; is the
other to go free? God forbid: and
let the people see to it that they
shall no longer have the sanction
of law for their crimes.
"The higher order of thinking
men," &c. These, we presume, are
the whisky vendors, bibulous edi-
tors, and porter-house politicians
These in their own estimation, are
a higher order of thinking CD men
than Moses and the grand array of
brilliant intellects of the present
day who, by the strong arm of the
law, are holding at bay the black
hosts of immortality which, in
their secret hiding places, plot
and plan for the overthrow of So
ciety.
"Morals cannot be legislated into
people or crammed down their
throats." All crime is the outcrop-
ping Of corrupt morals. If there
were no corrupt morals there would
be no crime, and consequently no
necessity of criminal laws. Every
law for the suppression of crime is
a blow at corrupt morals, or, as our
writer would have it, an attempt
to legislate morals into people. You
legislate against murder and theft,
believing them to be injurious to
society. We would legislate against
the sale Of ardent spirits for the
very same reason. If it is proper
to legisIate against the one it is
equally proper to legislate against
the other. Society has as good a
right to defend itself against the
gigantic evils OF the liquor traffic
as it has to defend itself against
many lesser evils.
ave want no blue laws in West
Virginia" Indeed we do not.
That is just what we want to get
rid of. We have had them too
long already. The bluest law that
was ever enacted is the one that
says to the wife: you shall have no
protection from the dram seller /:
that says to the mother: you shall
have no assurance that your son
shall not become a victim of in
temperance; that says to the child ::
you shall not expect me to see TO it
that your hopes for home, happi-
ness, prosperity, are not bllghted
forever.
Oh, no! We want no blue laws
in West Virginia.

Editor AIderson Statesman !:

Editor Alderson Statesman
In the Greenbrier Independent
we find an article containing the
following sentiments:
This amendment business is
nothing in the world but bastard
attempt to combine some cheap
morality with mean politics."
"The higher order of thinking
men throughout the country are
united in their views upon this
subject, and proclaim that morals
cannot be legislated into people or
crammed down their threats, but
must be inculcated by precept AMI
example. Men can be elevated by
being shown that it is better to be
temperate and virtuous, but can
never be driven"
ave aoant no blue lars IN West Vir-
gjoja."
Is not the very first sentence
quoted an insult to every good man
in the State? ga bastard at
Tempt" What is bastard attempt
but an attempt by a bastard? Who
originated and sustain the move ?
Ministers Of the Gospel, and the
best and truest men ofevery church
and of every party. Are these men
bastards? For shame, friend, do
not permit your spiritual inclina-
tions to lead you into such absurd
tiles.
Cheap moralityw Is that NOR
atty cheap which seeks to shield
our homes from the most wither-
ing curse that ever afflicted fallen
humanity? If the writer means
that this morality, as he calls it, is
of little value, he certainly puts a
very low estimate upon peaceful
homes--upon hearts that feel nc
dread Of hearing the approach of a
husbands footsteps-of children
well fed, well clothed, and well ed
ucated.
In this sense this morality is not
cheap; but if it could be purchased
and made the property of man
kind universally, it would be cheap
at any cost, even at half Of the
possessions of every citizen in the
land.
with mean politicsw Well, we
will not dispute with the writer on
this point, for we admit that earn
est efforts were made to induce the
political parties-Democratic and
Republican-to adopt this amend
ment scheme as a plank in their
platforms, and we are sorry to con
fess that the politics Of either of
these parties was SO very mean as
to refuse the alliance.
We have always been proud OF
the grand old Democratic party,
but its action on this question
causes US to tremble for its future
In this State, for good men every
where are resolved that sooner OF
later this monster evil shall be
crushed, even if the party and the
men who sustain and defend 1t
have to be sacrificed with that par
ty.
"Men can be elevated by being
shown that it is better to be temper
ate and virtuous, but can never be
driven" &c.
All rulers from Moses down have
acted upon a different hypothesis
Good examples and good precepts
are indispensable Eve wonder if the
writer Of the article under consider
alton always sets these good exam
ples), but they must be enforced by
the strong arm of the law.

Eleven gentlemen, with capital of
100000, have succeeded in bringing
about a reconciliation regarding the
Camden Iron Works trouble and will
start up the long idle machinery. Of
the capitalists a majority of them are
Philadelphians, who represent 5000 of
the 1000 shares. According to the arti-
cles of incorporation the lease exten dis
to September 3d. 1888. Said gentleman
in position to know: Business will
be resumed this month. Mr. Stars
claims have been satisfied and those of
his creditors to a certain degree. Large
orders for work are expected soon, which
will require at least five hundred hands
to fill at the specified time. The pros
poets could not be better This is
gratifying intelligence to former en-
ployes as well as to those who are inter-
ested in the business growth of the city.

The music lovers of Cumberland
County, are enjoying a rich treat this
week, participating in the twenty-sev-
enth Annual Convention of the County
Musical Association. The sessions are
largely attended, and every one is well
pleased with the proceedings The Con-
ductor, DIR. H. r. Palmer, of New York,
the we'll known composer, is giving gen.
eral satisfaction and under his training
a marked improvement in the singing is
very noticeable; all seem disposed to do
a portion to make the sessions both use
full and entertaining. We recognize a
number of old friends in attendance, and
knowing their ability in the musical
line, we have no hesitancy in saying
that the Concert on Friday evening will
be one seldom if ever equalled in this
city. In addition to our home talent,
Mrs. Juvia G. Hull and Mrs. s. Belle
Tinker, of New York, are present, and
by their magnificent singing, add great
ly the interest of the Convention. The
managers of the Convention, have sell
dom been as fortunate in securing an
accompanist as on the present occasion.
All who have ever heard the musical per-
formance of Rev. L. E. Coyle, pronounce
him the peer of any ever presiding at our

On Wednesday morning of last week,
as Mrs. Matte Blackwood, of this city,
was busy pursuing her household duties,
having her days duties carefully planned.
She was most unexpectedly interrupted,
and the programme for the day consid-
erably and agreeably fchanged, by the
entrance of a surprise party. Friends
were there from all parts of the county.
A number of useful and valuable gifts
were presented, among them hand
some extension table. Mr.. A Fletchin-
ger, of Marlboro, contributed magnih-
cent head of cabbage, weighing nearly
twelve pounds, and of an excellent quail
ity. The party remained until late in
the day, and grand good time was had

There is a spring of water in Shep-
herdstown, W. Va, which is almost an
unerring barometer, and predicts by
the movements of its waters the kind of
weather that will prevail. From twen-
ty-four to forty-eight hours before a
rainfall the water in the spring will rise
from three to eight inches above it's
usual height, and when the rain has
commenced it falls again. This is par
ticularly the case in regard to settled
rains, but it has also been known to rise
just before a heavy thunder storm
The spring has no apparent connection
with the town run or the river, as it is
between one and two hundred feet
above the level of the river.
