A Practical Lesson.

The trial of colored man Of
Charleston, by the name of Whit.
ing on Tuesday last in the U. s
Court at Parkersburg, for shooting
man, developed no little interest
as the affair occurred in a saloon
while all parties seem to have been
under the influence of liquor. Mr.
Chas. Armistead (colored) council
for the prisoner, took occasion in
the course of his remarks to arraigp
the liquor traffic, or rather the
State for tolerating it in the follow.
ing scathing language: "What."
said he, care we to think of State
that will license saloon, and when
it has produced its natural effects
employ the wealth and power Of
the commonwealth to prosecute
and take the life of the one who
CHANGED to enter it and become in.
toxicated."
Mr.. R. H. Freer, also council for
defense, said: "This young man
did not commit murder, but we
have somebody on trial for murder
1t is rum. A jury has been impan-
nelled to try man for a crime com.
mitted while under the influence
of liquor which was sold by the
sanction of the State"
Judge Ferguson took occasion, in
his remarks to denounce the saloons
Of Charleston as miserable, low,
contemplated rum holes" A.

rifle arraignment and indictment
No reporter without pen dipped
in the same fire whence the speak
er drew his inspiration, were war
ranted in trying to reproduce any
portion OF such sermon as this by
DR.. Smith.
From Proverbs-"Wh hath woe,
who hath SORROW" &C., the eminent
divine at once launched forth the
most fearful indictment that lang
uage could frame against the mon
ster Demon, causing nearly all the
woes and sorrows of life.
The horrid pictures Of AlcohoPs
work were most frightful, and the
invecti hurled against the &C
cursed traffic, were enough to lift
temperance man out of his seat and
wither friend of the traffic to
pigmy, had he been present.
We are quite sure that could the
FREEMAN readers have heard this
sermon they would agree with the
FREEMAN in it's oft repeated decla-
ration, that the temperance people,
instead of being extremists as
charged, are in fact most unaccount-
ably conservative. DR.. Smith was
most explicit, and decided as to
the one only remedy for the curse
of the liqurtraffic,
AGITATION AND LEGISLATION!
These must go hand in hand.
His appeals to the Legislature
for the submission Of the Amend
ment in answer to the prayers Of
the people, were most fervent ano
eloquent, and the remorse and in
fanny that awaited him who dared
withhold this means of salvation
from the people was predicted in
fearful terms.
O, for such a sermon as this by
DR.. Smith in every church anc
school-house in the State to be
heard by every inhabitant thereof
|
Then, indeed, would we have Pro
hibition, and that right speedily
and right vigorously as well.

Wheeling JOts.

An immense mass meeting in
Washington Hall, last Sunday, re-
solved vigorously in favor Of the
submission of the Prohibition
Amendment.
The Wheeling Dailies note the
presence in the Capitol of Ex-Sen-
ator McGregor, and other friends of
the Amendment but we have seen
no public statement of the fact that
Mr.. St. Clair of Fayette county,
and others from distance are here
fighting against the demands of
the people.
THE BUsIEsT.-The busiest mem
Der of the Legislature in fighting
against the interests, the prayers
and the known will of the people
he mis-represents, is Republican.
He didn't get the complimentary
vote of his confreres for Senator.
President Wilson, Congressman
elect from the Second District, was
greeting friends at the Capitol and
the Mcclure, on Monday and Tues
day.
POTENT FAcT.-It is a potent
fact that the saloon lobbyists find
much less susceptible material in
this Legislature than formerly
The Temperance agitation has
weeded out their sort quite notice
ably. Another campaign and the
occupation of this sort of lobbyists
will be gone.

WoNDERFUL.-'Tis really won
derful how the pious souls of the
few whisky men in the Legislature
are Just now exercised in favor of
more stringent temperance laws!
They are all temperance men!-
Just as are the saloonists whom
they seek to serve!

Sunday, January Dist, was a
grand day for the cause of Temper
ance in Wheeling, and for the cause
throughout the State as well. The
result of this one days work will
long be felt, not only in this beer
cursed city, but throughout the en-
tire State.
Whatever may be the fate of the
Peoples measure for their own sal
vation--whether their representa-
tives shall be faithful to their trust
or prove recreant and render them
selves infamous by treason against
the prayers and rights of their con-
stituents, an enthusiasm has been
kindled and an impetus given in
the righteous cause of Prohibition,
that will 90 out and burst forth in
vigorous repetitions in every part
of the State.
THE MASS MEETING AT WASHINGTON
was a magnificent demonstrat ton of
the enthusiastic sentiment of the
best people of the city in favor of
Prohibition.
The large room was filled
throughout, and every reference tc
the Constitutional Amendment by
which the Liquor traffic is to be
branded as an outlaw, was ap
plauded to the echo.
Upon the platform, besides the
speakers, were many Of the minis
ters of the city, ex-senator McGreg
or, champion of Prohibition, Hon
J. Dallas Ewing, with other prom
met gentlemen, and of devout wo
men not a few; and prominen
among these noble workers in the
cause, was Miss Taylor, Presiden
of the Wheeling Female College
How. G. w. Atkinson presided
and whenever you see Marsha
Atkinson holding the relns, yol
may Just count on going through o.
time and making all connections
The exercises began with singin
"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name"
This grand old hymn, excellent
sung by the Wheeling Femal
College Choir, led by Mr.. J. Melvi
Richards, and joined in by the at
dience, made the meeting success
from the start.
Earnest prayer was offered b
DR.. Cunningham, Of the LIST Presby
terrain Church.
The first speaker was
REV. DAVID POWELL,
member of the House of Delegate
from Taylor county.
His address was a most vlgoror
and logical arraignment of tt
liquor traffic and bold applicatio
of the remedy. He abundant
proved, taking distillers, brewe
and saloonists as witnesses, that tt

UsuRpATIoN. - The people OF
West Virginia, in every way they
could make their wishes known
have demanded the right to settle
the whisky question for them
selves, and it were the bascst usur'
patton for their servants, selected
and paid to do their will, to pre-
sumo to wrest this right from thelr
masters. 1t is a sorry day Tor

human intelligence condemned it,
and that only by reason of corrup-
ton in the heart was it tolerated.
The speaker was interrupted by
frequent applause, and especially
at his every reference to the reme-
dy proposed in the Amendm ent
pending in the Legislature.
But the climax Of his happy
speech was in
PRoNoUNC1NG HIS EPITAPH.
In proclaiming his devotion to
his native State, and his anxiety
for the future prosperity and hap
piness Of her people, he said in
closing:
"West Virginia is where lies
dust to dust father, mother, broth
err, sister and son-the State where
in expect to have my body laid
away to await the rising of the
dead. When L am buried and
memory marks the spot where lies
my dust, no prouder epitaph can
mark the place than this-'Here
lies one whose moral sentiment,
stronger than fame, mightier than
riches, led him in the year of our
Lord, 1888, in the Legislature Of
his State, to register his name for
prohlbition."
The next regular speech was by
HON. JUDGE HOLT,
of Lincoln county; who started out
by showing that the time for argu-
ment had gone by, that the YER
dict of guilty was already made up,
and the infamous culprit only
awaited sentence and execution.
He declared that the cause of
temperance alone brought him to
this Legislature. He was here to
devote his utmost energies to secure
relief for the people through the
proposed Amendment.
The Judge refuted and scattered
to the winds the empty and con-
Trajectory arguments of the oppo-
nents of prohibition, and showing
the right, expediency and feasibil-
ity of this only sure remedy for the
evil, declared with much earnest
ness, that even though not another
man, woman or child was in favor
of it, he would with all his ability
and energy advocate prohibition az
long as he lived. At this Captain
John Baggs shouted, HAn'en
there's tho of as, JUDGE"
The distinguished speaker gave
brief history of the success of pro
hibition in his own county, and re
lated some most affecting incidents
of the cruel work of the traffic il
homes of his own acquaintance,
He closed with fearful denun
citation of this legalized infamy
declaring his purpose and determi
nation to fight for Prohibition herr
and at home, and till we get it.
Of the several excellent temper
ance pieces sung by the choir,
"No COMPROMISE"
was especially inspiriting to tn
+ eager audience.
The President, in his ready an
happy way, spiced the program b
interfering number of rich hit
, by way of introducing the speak
, ers, and pointed comments at prov
er points, as none know better hoy
o than himself.

ing the button-holeing and noting
the means employed to defeat the
submission of the Amendment, he

sigh, which being Interpreted,

DIGGING THEIR GRAVES.
Not satisfied with having at
tended the funerals Of many of
their late political neighbors, quite
a number are here, openly and un-
blusbingly digging away, delving
down through the mire of corrup-
ton, to make hole big enough to
hide away their political carcasses
as soon as they get their prices
from the beer doctors, and these sa-
loon manipulators of party and po-
litical stiffs get through with
( them. Requies-scatl
HOW THEY DO IT.
The friends of Temperance, in
their honest homes throughout the
! State, little dream Of the desperate
and disgraceful means used to de-
feat the prayers of all the good
people of the State.
A fee of 1000 from the liquor
men, to a prominent lawyer from
a distant part of the State, to lobby
against the prayers Of his own peo-
pie and against the homes of his
own clients-this is how it is done !!
THE CURRENCY OF LIES.
J Lies constitute the common cur
rency of those lobbying against
the Amendment. In the last day
or two volume of this base cur
rency was showed out among the
members, to the effect that Judge
Ferguson had abandoned the move
ment for the Amendment, that
Charley Caldwell had weakened on
it, and that nobody was now favor
ing it but few fanatical preachers.
Dave Johnson and the FREEMAN.
A member of the House assured
another member the other day, in
substance, that the movement was
simply urged as matter of breac

Lie out of Whole Cloth.

AS one of the many bold lies used
among members against the
Amendment, the statement was
busily circulated in the Legisla-
ture, Monday and Tuesday, that
Judge Ferguson had changed his
views, and was now opposed to the
measure.
A telegram from Mr. Baker, Of
the Register, this morning, asked
the Judge, who is here in Court, for
his "changed views" We hope
the Register will publish his reply
in its morning issue. It brands
the whisky fabrication as lie out
of whole cloth.
We have just talked with him
in the Court room, as we go to
press. His indignation at the
SANDER is most vigorous.

WHAT RIGHT TO OBJEcT.-The
petty little bit of additional ex'
pense of the next general election,
with the Amendment, is being
urged and magnified by members
in the interest of the whisky men,
This is simply outrageous non,
sense. In every way they could
speak the people have demanded
the right to vote on this great IS
sue, and if the sovereigns OF the
State want to spend little OF Their
pocket money in this way, 1t Is
surely the baldest impertinence
and impudence for any one OF their
hired servants to object.
