Peters Pence.

One New Years day Bennett arrived at
the Union Club toward night, having made
many calls. He sat down in chair and
observing that some members of the club
were presenting Peter, the venerable porter
of the club, with s. bills as New Years
presents, he called him over and fishing
down into one of his pockets brought up 4
bill.
"reier, my friend" he said, without look
ing at the bill, take that"
"Thank You, sir" said Peter, lis eyes
glistening at the sight of 4 $50 bill.
Bennett gazcd at him for second, said
sleepily, "wait, Peter" and diving down
into another pocket brought uH another
bill.
"Take that, Peter"
This performance went on for fully five
minutes. Every time that the astonishei
Peter attempted to retire he was calle
back, and the presentation of every kind OF
bill from 81 to $50 went on to the amuse-
ment of the spectators. When 10 more
bills came forth Bennett stopped and went
away. Peter asked some of the members
what he had best Go with his hat full q
money. He was advised to ask Mr. Bennett
the next time he came whether he had not
given him by mistake more than he had
intended. So the next day when Bennett
appeared Peter said to him:
"Mr Bennett, Think you gave me more
of new years present than you intended
last night"
Bennett looked at him for few seconds,
not having the glimmer of an idea Of how
much he had given, or whether he had
given anything at all.
"How much did give you, Peter|
eight hundred dollars, sir
The position was delicate one bat not
so much so to man with an income Of a
million year as to an ordinary mortal
THAT was the amount intended for you
Peter" said Bennett without assign of an
noyancc Nothing mean about these lit
erary fellers."

Ohio Free Whisky not the Consti-
tutiOn's Fault.

We have all along insisted that
the cry Of Gree Whisky" by pol
ticians of Ohio, was a false cry, in
SO far as the fault was charged to
the Constitution of the State.
We believed that the Legislature
had unlimited power to restrict the
traffic, even to prohibition, and
that the submission of the first
proposition was either great mis-
take, or an Ubiquitous fraud meant
to get rid of the anti-license
clause.
In the decision of tho Supreme
Court on the Scott Law, four out
of FIVE of the judges held as fol-
lows:
"f IN the judgment Of the General
assembly 1t be necessary, IN order to
prevenat evils resulting from the traffic,
that the sale and use of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage be absolutely pro-
hib5ted, ne can see no constitutional
ground upon aohich such exercise Of its
judgment and discretion can be re-
vie,oed By the Courts Of the State"
Now is the duty of our friends in
Ohio plain; first, to see to it that
the authority TO license is not re-
stored by the adoption of the first
proposition, And, second, foras-
much as prohibition itself is infinite
ly better than the mere power to
prohibit, let every possible effort
be put forth for the second propo-
sition.
We are very sure there is prohi-
bition sentiment in Ohio sufficient
to adopt the Prohibitory Amend
ment, if it can but be effectually
marshalled and used at the polls.
Let every Temperance man, wo-
man and child be a recruiting Off
Ger for votes for Prohibition from
now till the election,

Editorial Menagerie.

According to the Tyler Iadepend-
emit, the editor Of the Star is "hy-
ena," and Jumbo" is editing the
Wetzel Democrat, who, says the ed
itor of the Independent is a "pole-
cat" Moreover, the Richie Ca
zette calls the editor of the Grafton
Eagle a "buzzard," who in turn in
sists that ''snakey reptile" is edi.
ting the Gazette.
Verify is this thing becoming a
matter of concern to our good peo-
pie Of Parkersburg. If this is the
sort of an "editorial menagerie"
our folks are preparing to entertain
at the coming Press Meeting this
fall, they might have some choice
in selecting the animals. 1t may
be we'll we didh't have the "show"
on the Fourth. 1t would have
been bad for the many children on
the streets to nave had so many
rabid and ugly animals loose-es-
pecially in hot weather.

Ex-Surgeon-General Hammond
is to grapple with the Woman
Question in the next number Of
the North american RevieaU. He
will undertake to show that woman
is untitled for equal participation

by her smaller brain capacity, but
also by the peculiurities of her
nervous OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
And ten to one, il the Ex-Sur-
General, after he is through
with his "grappling," will but turn
around and dissect himself, he will
discover that he has made a public
fool of himself.

An Honest Inquiry.

And now, if we are not thought
to be impertinent, we should like
to inquire if the Register and Semti-
mel are in favor of the High Ii
cense we'll enforced" which they so
highly commend in the splendid
address Of their favorite temper
ance orator at Moundsville, Rev. j.
R. Thompson?
High license" as in force in
Missouri Nebraska and other States,
means $1,000 a year, with forfeit
ure for violation and penalties as
against felonies.
Are our happy contemporaries
ready to declare for, and advocate
this sort of high license?

viii You Stick?

If the temperance voters of West
Virginia adhere strictly to the an
nunciation of purpose as set forth
by the recent State Convention at
Clarksburg, there will be some dis
turbance among the candidates in
both political parties next year.
State Tribune.
We "stuck" to some considerable
extent in the last election, and ex-
pect to "stick" better in the next.
TO avoid any undue disturbance
among candidates, we suggest that
the politicians who have betrayed
the people heretofore, go into the
tie and stave business till the
storm is over.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-07-18
For Which Side!

The Register in commenting on
Rev. J. R. Thompson's address at
the Moundsville meeting, quotes
the. speaker as favoring high IL
cense in preference to prohibition
in certain contingencies, and there
fore the jubilant ''organ" grinds
out this refrain:
ave say the address was evident
ly little toe practical, but it was
the only temperance address deliver
ed on the occasion, and would make
splendid campaign document"
Now, may we be SO bold as to in
quire of the Regiiter for aohich side
it thinks the address would be a
splendid campaign document? We
make this inquiry out of kindness
to the saloonists, lest on the Regis
ter's suggestion, they might order
few hundred thousand copies of the
address, as they did of DR.. Crosby's.
We advise them to read the proof
carefully in this case before invest
ing largely.

DESPERATE CONSOLATION.
Stealing Crumbs of Comfort.

Certainly these whisky organs
and advocates are driven to desper-
ate straits when they are obliged to
go around picking crumbs of COM
fort and consolation out of temper
ance speeches. 1t is no matter to
these apologists of the criminal traf-
fc, that temperance orators all
agree as to the righteous necessity
of capital punishment against the
universally condemned culp1it
but if there happens to be the
slightest difference of opinion be-
tween counsel for the people, as to
the best mode Of taking the miser-
able murderer's life, straightway
they assume to be wonderfully ella
ted and rejoiced, and patting the
dissenting speaker, whoever he
may be, on the back, they hail him
and laud him as ifh were the Dew
il'sow chief counsel in the cause.
They seem to forget that in so
doing, they are in open Court con-
fessing to their outlawed clients
guilt.
The Wheeling Register, the West
Virginia organ of the liquor traffic,
was quick and loud in it's praises
of Rev. J. r. Thompson's Mounds
Vile speech, which was through
out a most fearful Indictment Of
the Registers pet client; but be-
cause, as is claimed, the speaker IA
vored the plan Of putting the con-
demned to death by the slow pro
cess of "high-license" strangula-
ton, rather than by swinging the
felon up by jerk Of the prohibition
halter-behold the Register is wild
with delight and declares that the
eloquent Reverend's address was
the only temperance speech made
at the meeting.
And this tendency to have this
sort of consolation at all hazard;

A Great Load Lifted.

Just to think Of the great fnan-
cial load lifted from US West Vir-
ginia editors in the repeal of the
law requiring two-cent stamp on
every check, whether for thou
sand or for a million dollars! But
then the sigh of relief that came to
US July LIST, on the going into eff
feet of this benign provision of law,
is choked in our throat by the Is
cents discount on trade dollars.
Alas! twas ever thus, Nary rose

No Longer a Question.

The injury and insult that poll
ticians persist in heaping upon the
temperance people should drive
them to united action, if nothing
else avails. A leading political Or
gan of Ohio says:
"There is no longer a liquor
question in Ohio that business men
need notice, or that can have an
appreciate influence upon politi-
cal affairs.
We presume the prohibitory
amendment will receive a few
more votes than the prohibition
ticket, but they will not possess
utility. The Iowa experiment
will not be repeated in Ohio.
The Prohibitionists can please
themselves by voting for their
amendment and be recorded"
Now let the temperance voters
of Ohio repel this slur and insult
by putting in enough votes for the
Amendment to give them utility
And let it be understood that the
"Iowa experiment" shall not be re-
peated. Let prohibitionists see to
it that hereafter when they cote
prohibition they get it in spite of
the tricks and treachery of the pol
iticians.
No longer a question for bust
ness men to noticeW A cheap and
bold assertion, that, when the liq-
uor problem is the business ques-
ton all over the land, talked about
and studied more than all other
questions!
And so will this question con-
tinue to grow and agitate, turn and
overturn, becoming more and more
the business of business men and
all the people, till it is settled in
business way, just as a rattlesnake
question is settled-by killing the
snake.

Not so Very Wicked.

Brother Zeveley, of the Richie
Democrat, still thinks it is awfully
naughty in the temperance people
to declare in favor of making it
impossible fer eleven senators
and fourteen delegates to be again
elected to ignore the prayers and
defy the will of the people,
Why, dear, good brother, all it
requires to make "it impossible, is
simply for temperance voters not
to vote for such candidates.
Surely, there's nothing so very
wicked in that
