That "Pipe of Peace

We said we'd box the Richie
Gozette's ears, and though we're not
half as mad as we were, we've hall
a mind to do so yet. The Gazette
had many good and sensible things
in its column review of our re-
marks about that "Pipe of Peace :"
but it was for its twisting and mis-
interpreting our meaning, that 1t
needed boxing.
We insisted that there was eter-
nal war between the temperance
people of West Virginia and the
Liquor Traffic, and all who aid and
abet it, and that they were ready
to smoke the "Pipe of Peace" with
any party or parties that would
come out on the Peoples side. We
said nothing about any "entangling
political alliance" or trade that
would mutually benefit any party
and the temperance people," but
what we did and do say, is that the
temperance people Will henceforth
demand to know "agh0 IS on the side
of the people" in this struggle. We
fail to see any flicker" or "trade"
or doubtful alliance" in saying to
any party, "Do right; stand on
principle and declare for the Peoples
rights, and you'll be with US. And
if any party is courageous enough
to do this, shall the temperance
people be denied the privilege of
extending Christian greetings and
fraternal fellowship, betoked by
the typical "Pipe of Peace ?"
Our volunteered prophecy-that
"the political party that refuses to
put Prohibition plank in its
platform in the near future will
tumble to- ruin for the hack of such
plank" still stands, and we re-
prophesy that no platform" will
be able to- weather coming storms
without such timber.
Now, Bro. Morris, don't take it to
heart because we've volunteered a
little sound political advice by way
of suggestion.

Take good care of the LITTLE
FREEMAN, which comes out visit

Send it out among the neighbors,

You'll find the little fellow isn't
abit afraid to speak right cut be-
rore anybody, and say what it

Please introduce it to- your

The Eleven left, and the Coed
People Say Amen.

At the Third District Congress
sional Convention, last Wednesday
Capt. G. P. Snyder, Of Charleston,
was nominated on the 9TH ballot, as
the Democratic candidate for Mr..
Kenna's seat.
The three of the "noted Eleven"
who aspired for the place were wo-
fully left, wherefore we are not sor-
ry.
Mr.. Farnesworth of Upshur, was
killed in the County Convention at
home.
Mr.. Stollings pulled through the
Convention with Ill out of a "pos-
sible" or rather impossible 1879.
1t was most fitting that the fated
eleven should follow him. Eleven
votes against the people in the Sen
ate: Eleven votes out of 139 in Con-
ventlon, Tor one OF the eleven
against the people,
1t is fair to state that Mr.. Floyd,
another of the 'eleven," got "two
BETTER" having "13" out of a posi-
BILE 139.
"a hint to the wise" &c.
The Republican Convention held
on Saturday, nominated Judge j
H. Brown, of Charleston, who in
the Senate voted as the People di-
rected, for the submission of the
mendment.
We shall see what we can see
when we hear from the Greenback
Convention.

The Issue.
AND SUBoRDINATED INTERESTS.


We may be pardoned for refer
ring again to the deliverance of the
Huntington AdDsrtjser on the issue
of the day, briefly noticed by US last
week.
The Aclcertjser is generally one of
the most fearless, out-spoken journ-
ais of the State and ought always
to be on the right side.
In q late number it devotes a
whole column to the vexed temper
ance problem and insists that the
question must be subordinated to
more important issues that demand
attention. 1t says:
During the last four years the
friends of prohibition have been
given a clear field and the divers
other interests of our people have
been subordinated to this peculiar
one. A large number Of good citi-
zens who are temperate men, but
who are aware that there are other
concerns of equal dignity with the
TEN perance question, have been
quiescent thus far, in the hope that
this question would have an end
within reasonable time so as to
permit other affairs to come up for
consideration. These now feel that
the time has come when great
questions like the adjustment of
our share of the Virginia debt and
those relating to State development
should no longer be subordinated
to this interminable and impractic-
able one Of temperance as it is re-
lated to a proposed constitutional
amendment.
Very we'll. The FREEMANs whole
life has been and will be spent try
4. ing to get rid of this "intermina-
BILE" problem. But how does the
Aduertiser propose to get rid of it?
1t will not down at anybody's bid
ding, and the man or party that
undertakes to throttle it, will bring
down certain destruction upon his
own head.
The question Of legal prohibition
on the one side, or a legalized IL
4quor traffic on the other is the
question of the hour, and an irrepres
sible conflict is on. An issue, it is,
before which the "the divers other
! interests of our people have been
. subordinated" for years, and must
continue to be subordinated until
rthr people are permitted to settle
it at the polls. And this is all that
% uhibitionists have been asking?
# the Aduertt8er is SO anxious to
get the question out Of the way OF
other important matters, let it and
ali others concede this right to the
people.
The course pursued by the oposi-
ton to this right of the people, has
raised an issue between the politi-
clans and the people, that is even
more important than Prohibition.
Tie people demand the right to be
heard, and few Legislators (their
