Ed. FREEMAN Alter readlng
some of the excellent letters in
your paper, l feel like saying some
thing in behalf of the cause it so
ably advocates.
And first, | want to say that the
publishers of the FIREMAN deserve
the praise and heartiest support
of the people for their enterprise in
furnishing such valuable journal
for West Virginia.
If parents, generally, would put
such papers into the hands of their
children, instead of the vile and
vicious novels and other trash Sc
many of them get, how much bet
ter it would be for the rising gen.
Grafton!
That intemperance is the great
evil of the age, causing more trouble,
sorrow and crime than all other
evils, none can deny. AS we read
accounts of murders, we nearly al
ways find at the close-"whisky
the cause"
The trouble in this county is
that so many good citizens defend
moderate drinking. They forget
that nine out of every ten moder-
ate drinkers become drunkards-
| know men in Webster county
to-day, who will drink at the bar
with their own sons. O, that these
fathers who are good and influential
citizens could but see the trouble
they are bringing to their sons and
to their homes!
1t is part of a parents duty to Il
child to instill into it hatred of
ardent spirits from its youth. And
yet, though we do our duty in this
respect, no family is safe while
whisky is tolerated in the commu-
nifty. 1t should and must be ban
ished from the State. Legal pro-
hibition is our only sure protec-
ton, and for this the good people
must all unite regardless of polit-
ical parties.
While whisky is sold in our
midst as beverage, our young
men become drunkards; and this
is true of the rich and poor, high
and low alike. No family can say
we are secure from the evil. 1t
comes in the night, and our boys
are drunkards before we know it.
Let US then unite and Danish the
tempter from the State, and let
those who must have whisky, and
can't do without it, cmigrate-the
sooner the better
May the Lord help the Legis-
lature to do its duty in behalf of
our suffering people, by granting
them the permission to cast outthe
great evil and curse that 20 afllicts
our young Mountain State.

PETERSBURG, w. VA.
DEAR FREEMAN: The Temper
ance work is progressing slowly
over on this side of the mountains.
But little having been done be-
fore, the initiatory has to be taken
in many places; but the people
have been reading and thinking,
and | find d great many Of our
more substantial people, in fact
nearly all Of the better classes,
ready to join heartily in the work.
Some Of our politicians are a
little afraid of losing chances of
preferment if they should declare
against rum. But never fear. A
clear idea of what intemperance is,
and what Temperance means will
bring outa majority Of the peo-
pie to vote for Prohibition.
We are urging the people to
unite against strong drink, regard
less of party. We want Temper
ance without its being joined with
any other issue.
The Temperance meeting held
at Petersburg was we'll attended,
and the lecture listened to with in
terest throughout. There are
some strong Temperance men

drunken man at large, as of the
person Invested of proper cover
ing. Against these dangers soci-
ETY. has right to be protected by
proper legal restraints and penal
ties.
3. Such a law would greatly as
sist in the execution of other laws
looking TO the suppression OF re-
striction of the liquor traffic.
Even in counties and localities
where the voice of the people has
declared against the business, and
has forbidden the issuance of any
license to kill and destroy, it is
found very difficult to entirely sup
press the evil. Unprincipled men
do secretly, what they are forbidden
to do openly, and find always a
good many secret patrons.
The experience of grand juries
in dealing with such cases is
standing proof, that both the whis-
ky dealer and the drlnker, will re-
sort to almost any available means
to evade the law.
Again and again have efforts
been put forth to bring such per-
sons to account for their illegal
business in this, (Ritchie) county.
where license has not been is
sued for about 80 years. And
while often successful, there have
been a great many failures because
Of either false swearing, or silence.
So long as the drinker sees in the
seller one to help him crafty his
unholy appetite, he will be ready
to protect him by falsehood or
evasion; for long experience has
abundantly proved that moral con-
victions are sadly defective when
once the habit of intemperance
has been formed.
But let the law say TO the drunk
ard, as in Justice to peaceable soci-
ETY. it ought to say, "You must pay
penalty for your debauchery,"
and in very many cases he will
come to see that the man who sells
him drink is his enemy, and the
unlawful and wicked collision
will be broken up. | will not say
that the public ought to be author
lied to enter the home to take the
drunkard thence to punish him
publicly for what he does, in this
way, in his own premises. But
certainly it ought to be authorized
to guard it's own public places
from such pests as profane and vul-
gar drunken men, while the sober
inmates of the home ought to be
provided with the same weapons
of defense against those who should
be protectors, but whom drink has
/ made tormentors.
4. Such a law is needed to pro-
tect the rising generation from the
contagion. Familiarity with drunk
en- revelry has a tendency to blunt
the moral sense of youth and pre-
pare them for taking part in the
disgraceful exercise. Drunken
ness comes to be regarded AS a kind
of public entertainment for the
thoughtless.
A drunken man becomes a sport
and drunkenness comes to be re-
garded as sort of joke.
Against such 1t danger society
ought to be protected by such pen
alties as would make drunkenness
keep its hideous form at least with
in walls, and among its own class.
Other reasons might be urged,
but these are certainly sufficient
ground on which to base whole
some protection laws with penal
ties adequate to give them full
effect.

The Nickerson Case.

PHILADELPHIA, June 6.-To-day
is the time fixed for the argument in
the Nickerson divorce case. Fletcher,
counsel for Major Nickerson, stated
ne had received no reply from his
client to telegram notifying him to
be present, and as the cross examina-
ton in his absence would be incom-
plete, Fletcher said he felt it his duty
to ask for further time. IF, how
ever" he contiued, 1.-The court refuse
to allow me this time, I feel con-
strained to say that in my opinion
the respondent in the case has shown
enough to set aside the divorce if the
court is determined to dispose of the
matter to-day. I think the decree
must be reversed.v The court then
announced the case would be sub
mitted on the evidence already re-
ceived. Counsel agreeing to this tes-
timony: it was handed to the court
for consideration.
