Another in the Ring.
OF now.

We had thought the Register had
the field to itself in the fight
against the people. But, 10! an
other has jumped into the ring.
After reciting the passage of the
Amendment Resolution by the
House, and giving the vote, it says:
"The Leader has no desire to re-
fleet upon the members who voted
for the measure"
Surely here is marvel Of kind
ness on the part Of the Leader to-
wards those forty-nine true repre-
sentatives of the people, who faith
fully reflected the will Of their
constituents.
But it further says:
"The Leader only knows the
monied interests involved in our
county in the manufacture of ale
and beer"
"Open confession is good for the
SOUL" but if that's all the Leader
knows on the liquor question it
would have acted wisely to have
kept that to itself.
But the Leader does know a little
more. 1t says:
at knows that without the tax
derived from the traffic that our
streets would go unpaved ; that our
police and fire officials would be
reduced; that every taxpayer of
the city would have to pay big
increase for the sake of a few in
temperate people who pay little if
any tax and without affording the
temperance cause the least protec-
ton"
What a compliment to the solid
wealth of the Nail City, to say that
it depends solely on its drunken
ness to pave its streets!
Inone particular the Leader spoke
wiser than it knew. There is
nothing more certain than that
prohibition would largely reduce
the police. That has been the I'M
failing result wherever prohibition
has been adopted.
The Leaders, nonsense about in
crease of taxes is as silly and falla
cious as it is stale. The real tax
payers Of the city know that the
liquor traffic burdens them with
more than half the taxes they are
paying, and where the saloons pay
a dollar toward police expenses,
they furnish the necessity for pay
ing out ten dollars.

Not Conducted Properly.

AGAINST Ir.-About twenty Of
the influential citizens of Sissons
vile are in the city to-day for the
purpose of having the County Court
revoke the licenses of two saloons
now run in that village. 1t is
claimed that the saloons are not
conducted properly, and that they
are a great injury to the town and
neighbour ood.-Charlestom Call.
If every violated license was re-
voked, there would be just as many
revoked as granted, What su-
preme folly tits for good citizens to
grant a man the privilege to tor
ment and affiict society, and then
when they begin to suffer, come up
claiming that the man is not con-
Quoting his devilish business prop,
erly.
How long will it take our people
to learn that the man that takes IL
cense to sell liquor does it with the
deliberate purpose Of selling in vlo-
lation of law, regardless Of conse'

Political Sagacity-What Senator
I'll. Il. Davis Thought.

If reported correctly by the Reg
ister's Washington correspondent,
Senator Davis has more political
sagacity by far than he has infor-
nation on the liquor question. The
correspondent says:
Senator Davis thought it would
be an impolitic thing for any po-
litical party to assume the respon-
sibility of refusing to submit the
question to popular decision when
such submission was asked by any
considerable number of the voters
of the State, but considered it
probable that the amendment
would be voted down, referring to
the growing unpopularity of prohi-
bition laws in States which had
adopted them, and suggested that
the activity shown by advocates
of the measure, as com pared with
the apparent carelessness of its OPP
ponents, was no indication of the
result when the. matter comes to
be decided at the polls"
The Senator's political sagacity
is shown in his favoring the right
and the policy of letting the people
be heard. If they vote the meas
ure down; so be it. Then will
they have been heard.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-02-07

vote for the measure at the polls,
as it was pleased to assume. When
these were named it was done, or
should have been done; but 1T
must add, "a majority of whom
will vote against it at the polls"
But then, remember, it is the
Wheeling Register we're speaking
of now.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-02-07
The Saloon Lash.
The Legislature not Spared.

Temperance men and temper
ance journals are accused of being
extreme and uncharitable, but
they are very lambs in mildness
and timidity compared with liquor
men and their organs. Observe
how vigorously the Register plies
the saloon lash to the three-fourths
majority in the House of Delegates
as timely warning to the Senate.
The Register says;
"The House of Delegates has
passed the resolution providing for
a prohibitory amendment to the
constitution, by little more than
a two-thirds majority"
ct don't say within one vote of a
fourffths majority, which was the
fact.)
"They passed it not because they
believed in it; not because they re-
gard it as temperance measure !;
not because they think it for the
welfare of the people Of the State !;
nor will the majority of those who
voted for is submission to the peo-
pie give it their votes at the polls"
We dont't know how the Hon
orable members appreciate this
free Interpretation Of their mo-
tives by this spokesman of the sa-
looms of Wheeling, but we do know
that the above assertions are gra
tuitous ISLANDERS against a very
large majority Of the noble Forty
nine who kneoO the will of their
constituents and served them faith
fully and well.
While three or four of this num-
Der, in faithful discharge of their
duties as representatives Of their
constituents, voted for submission,
and may with perfect propriety
and consistency with this action,
vote against the measure at the
polls, yet we are sure from their
personal declarations and records
that a very large majority of the
forty-nine have been, are, and in
every issue aOiU be active and ardent
Prohibitionists.
The Register named three or four
of all that number, who would not

liquor men) long drawn out, didn't
appear, as did Gov. Clicks mes
sage, as special message to the
Register, from deacon Smith" 1t
would have made a capital dis
patch right in the Registers line.
We don't like to note this symp-
tom of decline in our big neigh
boris wonted enterprise.

Homes Made GIadder.

A hundred thousand West Vir-
ginia homes are gladden. for the
overwhelming vote in the House of
Delegates last week in favor of the
Peoples right to petition and be
heard on a matter to them of most
vital concern, and they are waiting
to send up an universal shout Of
Joy upon a like vote in the Senate.

Why They Passed 1t.

They passed it to get rid of it
Register.
They passed it because it was
right to pass it, and because the
people elected them for that special
purpose, and sent them to the Leg
islature instructed to pass it.

Whipping-POst and Whisky.
nuences =?

The Cincinnati Commercial ap
proves the re-establishment Of the
Whipping-Post in Maryland as
punishment for wife-beating. This
is not strange: journal that can
see nothing in the liquor-trathc
but the revenue the Government
can get out of it might be expected
to take the barbarous side OF every
question.
The wonder is, that this uncon-
scionable journal does not sugge'
and advocate a graduated tax Oh
wlfe-beating. Many a scounarsl
would gladly pay $25 for the legal
privilege of walloping his vile
"There's millions in it."

The House Of Delegates, the pop
ular branch of the Legislature,
fresh from the People, every mem
Der knowing the expressed will of
his constituents, last week, by the
overwhelming vote Of nearly four
to one, passed the Resolution sub
hitting the Amendment.
Surely the Senate will be as
ready to trust the People, who have
been delighted to honor them.
