solo ana a choir of young ladies
from the College joined in full
chorus, led by Prof. Wallace, an
eminent cornetist. After singing,
the President introduced Wheel
ing's great favorite,
MR.. G. W. BAGGs,
who in a speech of ten minutes,
told the whole story of right and
righteousness.
The mass meeting was mag
nificent success in every respect.
Another one was announced for
next Sunday afternoon, of which /
will tell you in my next.
Wednesday evening, January
81, we expect to have the distin-
guished
MRS. FOSTER OF IOWA
speak to the citizens of Wheeling
on Constitutional Prohibition. We
wish, dear FREEMAN, that all your
many readers could enjoy this rich
and rare treat with us.
We have many things "to write
unto you," but our heart and hands
are full of doing our mite to help
push along the Prohibition car.
Next Tuesday is the day fixed in
the House to settle the question
for this year. We are very san
guine of success. Be this as it may,
with us the FREEMAN must help
fight this battle to a successful is
sue.
In haste,

ment, that every county in the
State shall be exempt unless it is
ratified by majority of the voters
of such county.
Of course the friends of the
Amendment oppose this, and
general discussion follows. Mr.
Pennvbacker, of Pendleton, takes
the floor and makes a wonderful
Temperance speech" in behalf of
the liquor traffic. In fact he traced
the history of drunkenness from
Noah down to the present day. He
had Joined some high sounding
temperance society when sixteen
years old, and has been "Tem per-
ance man" ever since. Perhaps he
has, but l am constrainedto FAY he
has not been working at it lately.
THE DISCUSSION.
The discussion takes a wide
range, going into all the merits of
the main question. But it is re-
markablc how fluently the opposi-
ton discuss the failure of Prohi-
bition," and fail to discuss the pro-
priety of remitting the question
TO THE PEOPLE,
there to be settled upon its mer-
its. Mr.. Pcnnybacker has been
furnished with shower of Stats
tics, which are let loose, and the
way the revenues ofthe State, and
the private enterprises of those
who have made investments are to
suffer, are painted in glowing col
ors. But these old thread bare ar
guments avail nothing. One of
the best short speeches made is by
Mr.. Sayrc, of Mason. "For shame"
said he, 'that the gentleman should
speak of revenue derived from the
traffic. Blood money and the price
of homes desolated and souls ru-
ined."
Mr.. Armstrong of Jackson. and
Judge Holt, of Lincoln, both dealt
out to the opposition some most
telling arguments in favor of the
rights of the sovereign people. Dir.
Brown, the younger, of Kanawha,
said in substance that if every
man, woman and child in his coun-
ty wanted this Amendment su omit
ted to vote of the people he would
not vote for it if his conscience
did not approve of the merits of
the measure.
Messrs. Simonton, of Marshall,
and Powell, of Taylor, and others,
all stand
MANFULLY FOR THE RIGHT.
Mr.. Halls substitute is rejected
by 46 to II, and then Mr.. Burtt's
amendment quickly shares the
same fate by vote of As to Is.
The Opposition grow nervous
and divers and sundry motions to
adjourn, to take recess, and so on
are voted down. The champion
from Pendleton comes up again and
moves to insert tobacco and ci-
gars." Mr.. Shlrtz, of Writ, face
tiously moves to amend the
amendment so That 1t applies only
to Pendleton county. When the
laugh is over, Mr.. Shirt asks leave
to withdraw his amendment, but
Mr.. Pennybacker refuses. A vote
is taken, with the usual result. An
other dilatory motion is made, and
Mr.. Gilkeson, of Hampshire, speaks
his mind freely, concerning such
tactics being used to avoid an
ISSUE THAT MUST BE NET,
and he does it in such terms, as
are not complimentary to the OPP
position. After several more at
tempts, recess till half past 2 is
secured. 81
When we return from dinner,
the dilatory motion is withdrawn.
A new subject is introduced by

Wheeling, January 20.
From Kansas, but not from Gov.
Click.

| have just received from the
city Of Olathe, Johnson county,
Kansas, the following statement,
signed by every city officer of that
city, and endorsed by the county
attorney of the county, the pastor
of each of the churches, and large
majority of the business men of
the place. 1t reads as follows
eve, the undersigned city off,
GERS of the city of Olathe, in John
son county, Kansas, hereby certify
that the sale of Intoxicating liq-
uors as a beverage has been prohib-
tied in this city since January LIST,
1878; that there is scarcely any
drunkenness and pauperism now,
compared to what there was under
the old license system. The finan-
cial condition Of the city has greatly
improved; streets and sidewalks
are in better condition and the
people more prosperous than ever
before. In our opinion, any prop
osition looking to a return to the
old system of licensing dram-shops
would be defeated by a vote of at
least two to one. This city has
about two thousand five hundred
population has no policeman, and
rarely has case in the police
court"
There is another fact that tenn
perance men may as well regard as
settled, also. They may push their
cause into politics, make it more
and more prominent, demand un-
equivocal committals on the part
of those who seek their support,
and then hold them to rigid re-
sponsibility for the fulfillment Of
their pledges. Law, stern, rigid,
Incorporating, must dispose of
this the greatest of the subjects Of
moral and political contention. It
will he amenable to nothing else.
Nothing short of the constitutional
method will be found adequate.
Let the friends of temperance un-
brokenly rally at this point, and
then stay till it is carried.-Pdts-

Its Progress IN the House Of Delegates.
WHEELING, w. VA, Jan. %, 'S3.
DEAR FREEMAN: The Amend
ment, blouse Joint Resolution No.
III was reached to-day in its regu-
lar order on second reading. Our
friends had a right to insist on it's
immediate consideration, and were
at first inclined to do so but it was
ascertained that Mr.. Dovener, one
of the leaders of the opposition
was sick, and he telephoned over
from his home request that ac-
ton be deferred, and out of courte-
sy for him, the further consider
alton of the measure was deferred
till Thursday, January 25, at II
o'clock, a. M. Until then we must
patiently wait. Our friends are
firm and confident, but seem dis
posed to act with the utmost fair
ness toward the opposition.
D. D. J.
January %.
The clock strikes ten on the
dome of the Capitol, the Speakers
gavel falls, silence ensues, ana
while all the Delegates and visit
ors stand with bowed heads, Rev.
J. A. Pomeroy, of Mounasville,
opens the days proceedings with
prayer. While the House pro-
ceeds with the dull routine of the
morning hour, the galleries and
lobby are filling up. Wonderful
what interest is taken in this
"wHlM OF A FEW WOMEN AND SUN
DAY SCHOOL cHILDRENt
The barest mention of Prohibi-
ton, and everybody wakes up i'm
mediately. How can anybody OBJ
ject to allowing the people to dis
cuss and settle SO great a ques-
ton?
Mr.. Parsons, the Delegate from
Tucker, inspired perhaps by the
presence of so many ladies, is
moved to offer resolution in
structing the Judiciary Commit
tee to inquire into the expediency
of reporting Constitutional
Amendment allowing women to
vote. Perhaps this may explain, If
he should oppose the Prohibition
Amendment. He wants woman
suffrage first, SO Prohibition will
be sure of ratification at the polls.
Eleven o'clock arrives, and Judge
Holt calls for the order of the day,
The Clerk reads,
"JoINT REsoL UTION. NO. II"
proposing the Amendment, as fol-
lows:
SEC. 46. The manufacture, sale
and keeping for sale of all intoxi-
eating liquors, drinks, mixtures
and preparations, to be used as a
beverage, are forever prohibited
within this State; and the Legis-
lature shall, without delay, pro-
vide by appropriate legislation for
the due enforcement of this prohi-
bition. The manufacture, sale,
and keeping for sale of the afore-
said liquors, drinks, mixtures and
preparations, for other purposes
than as a beverage, shall be regu-
lated by law, under sufficient pen
alties and securities.
And now the gentlemen who are
determined to deny the right of the
people to be heard, begin their
work. Mr. Burt, of Ohio county,
moved to amend so as to exempt
Ohio county from the operation of
the prohibitory clause, unless ma
jority of the voters of his county,
shall vote to ratify the same.
Mr.. Hall. of Wetzel moves as a
substitute for Mr.. Burtts amend
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-01-31

Dlnd every mans conscience who
votes for it, to the merits of the
proposition. A long discussion
ensues, but the vote results 40 to
IA. This was perhaps as near test
vote as any we have had
THE OPPOSITION DISCOURAGED.
The Opposition are discouraged.
Mr.. Woods, of Ohio county, offers
an amendment providing tor reim-
bursting manufacturers or dealers
who may suffer, but it is prom pity
voted down. Mr.. Stifel, of Ohio,
comes to the front once more, with u
dilatory motion. This exhausts the
patience of our friends, and the
PREVIOUS question is demanded.
Mr.. Gilkeson comes up with a
substitute he wishes to offer in
good faith, He has opposed all dill
atory motions, and thinks he ought
not to be choked off But our
friends are not disposed to yield,
the main question is ordered and
the Amendment is ordered to its
engrossment and third reading.
Then it is made the special order
for tomorrow, on its passage, and
the House adjourns.
Friday, January %.
THE LADIES PRESENT.
Again the gallery is full Of inter
ested spectators and every chair in
the. lobby is occupied by lady.
Interest is intense The OPPOSE
ton is busy trying to make the
best of what seems to be
FoRLoRN HOPE.
Mr.. St. Clair, of Fayette county,
genial gentleman engaged in a
very bad cause, is busy among the
members. He admits he is en-
ployed by the liquor men to lobby
against the Amendment, that his
expenses are paid, but denies that
he is to get the $4,000 fee"
Well, Mr.. Gllkeson again claims
that he was prcmaturely choked off
the previous day, and begs a recon-
sheraton, that he may have an
opportunity to offer his substitute
says that he has been mistakenly
classed with the opposition to the
measure, and insists that his
FOCAL OPTION SUBSTITUTE"
is the better way. A motion to re-
consider is made, and the morning
is consumed in discussion. But a
number of our friends are good ma
tured, and don't want any one TO
say he has been cut off too short,
and enough of them are found to
vote for a reconsideration to carry
1T. So the gentleman from Hamp-
shire gets chance, and his substI-
tute is read. But it goes out on a
point of order, being IN the nature
of an act which cannot be substitu-
ted for a JOINT resolution.
The way being open, Judge
Brown, of Kanawha, moves to
strike out 'to be used as "a bever-
dSC, ~ oo w PloiiiOio III GA 'Hi
poses. More discussion. But 1T is
voted down by about the usual
vote, some OF our friends being alb
sent and a few voting for Judge
Browns proposition. All amend
ments are finally rejected, and again
it is ordered to third reading
and we are just where we
were last night. Notice is
given that it will be called up ON
its passage on Tuesday, Jan. 80.
l cannot see how it can fail to
pass the House. If it passes we
think the Senate will concur.
Will send you dispatch if vote is
taken on Tuesday. d. D. J.

Accord.-J,tdge Fergusoa's ADDRESS

Accord.-J'1dge Ferguson's address
ED. FREEMAN: Sunday after
noon, again, was the Academy Of
Music crowded from pit to dome
with the enthusiastic home-lovers
of the Nail City.
Every available seat was taken
half an hour before the time an
nounced for the meeting, and at
3! O'Clock standing room could not
be obtained. The announcement
in the Sunday papers that Judge
Ferguson would be present and
address the people, was undoubt-
eddy the prime cause of the extra
"jam," although the special inter
est iE the Constitutional Amend
ment now causing such a fierce
battle in the Legislature, was suf-
ficient to insure crowded house.
Hon. Z. S. Marshal Atkinson
presided over the meeting with his
characteristic grace and dignity, and
you, dear FREEMAN, we'll know
that everything the Marshal un-
dertakes is sure to go-and it did
90.
In one of his ringing, rousing
speeches, he introduced
JUDGE FERGUSON
as the great Corliss Engine of the
Prohibition movement in West
Virginia.
Then the Engine was moved to
the front of the rostrum and re-
ceived perfect ovation from the
vast audience in eager waiting.
After the vociferous applause
had ceased Judge Ferguson began
to speak
Now, Mr.. FREEMAN as we once
read in your columns that you was
too old to try to report woman's
speech, so felt we, while listen
ing to this splendid address, but as
we sat at the reporters table and
looked up at the honored Judge,
we Involuntary exclaimed, "What
a magnificent specimen of the
genus homo, and we congratulated
ourselves that We had such no.
bic champion of our cause in our
young and growing State.
HIS RESPECTS
The Judge in his exordin,n paid
his respects to those papers and
parties that had accused him of
going back on the Prohibition
IN ovement. The respects" ten
dered were explicit enough to be
understood, we assure you.
AS we have intimated we know
better than to attempt u report of
the learned Judges speech, but we
must not fail to tell you of the
GLOWING TRIBUTE
he paid to those members Of the
Legislature that had "back bone
sufficient tostand up fair and square
to the proposed Amendment. Then
he most eloqucntly and earnestly
urged npon every member of this
Legislative body to allow their
masters, the people, to go to the
polls in 1884 and say whether they
wanted prohibitory clause in the
fundamental law of their State.
A FEARFUL WARNING.
The Judge, in his peroration,
gave fearful warning to this Leg
islature if they refused to recog-
nize the right of the people to pc
tition. Prolonged applause fol-
lowed the Judges magnificent adj
dress.
Then the choir very appropri-
ately sang
