Iowa Amendment.

Some time since the announce.
ment appeared in the FREEMAN, as
published in a New York paper,
that the Supreme Court of Iowa had
decided the Prohibitory Amend
ment adopted last June, to be valid
and in full force.
We are sorry now to state, the
announcement was 'too previous"
as the decision had not then been
made, and we are still more sorry
to inform our readers that the de-
cision of the Court, recently reach
ed, is adverse to the validity of the
Amendment so triumphantly and
gloriously adopted by the people.
Because of carelessness or purposed
omission on the part of officers of
the Legislature to have the propos-
ed Amendment properly recorded,
the Court, by divided bench, de-
cides the Amendment to be invalid,
and the work of passing it and vot-
ing on it by the people must all
be gone over again,
A State Temperance Convention
has already been called, and doubt
less the Legislature will be conven-
ed in extra session to re-pass this
measure of home protection so
overwhelmingly endorsed by the
people.
A little longer lease of life to the
dire monster, only that he may be
killed the dcader when his death
comes

ing. There was still temperance
breeze. He was in favor of appoint
ing committee, to act in concert,
with a similar committee appoint
eddy the Saloon-keepers' Associa-
ton in order to guard their inter
esss."
Another fact:
"At the same hour the Saloon
keepers Association held meeting
in the small Arbeiter Hall. Its
object was to organize some effort
towards counteracting any tenn
perance tendencies in the present
session of the Legislature. The
following were appointed vigi-
lance committee to act in concert
with the committee to be appoint
ed by the Protective Association
III. Westphal, J. H. Stoves, August
Holthoff."
Now, we put it to any true citi-
zen who has any sympathy with
the cutlery against bringing the
temperance question into politics,
whether it is not high time for
all good citizens to unite as one
man against this infamous monop-
oily, without heart, soul or feeling,
that dictates to our Legislatures
and demands license to ride over
all peaceable communities with its
lawless trains of debauchery, lust,
crime and ruin. What is your an
swer?

Hon. Neal Dow closes recent
letter to a friend, on the results of
Prohibition in Maine, as follows:
"Need | say more to satisfy eve
ry candid man, every one not blind
ed by interest, appetite, prejudice
or passion, that the Maine law in
Maine has been, and is great sue
cess? In more than three-fourths
of our territory, our rural districts,
our smaller towns and villages the
traffic is practically annihilated 1t
fingers on small scale and on the
sly in our larger towns and cities,
but within the coming year even
that small remnant of it will be
swept away.
From being the poorest State in
the union, spending in strong drink
the total value of all our property
in every period of less than twenty
years, we are now one of the most
prosperous, saving annually, as the
result of prohibition, at least $24,-
100000, which without it would be
spent, lost and wasted upon the
liquor traffic. Very truly yours,
Neal Dow.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-01-24

the policy of prohibiting the traffic
in intoxicating liquors, the wis
dom and efficiency of which legis-
lation in promoting the moral and
material interests of Maine have
been demonstrated through the
practical humiliation of that traffic
in a large portion of the State, and
we favor such legislation and such
enforcement of law as will secure
to every portion of our territory
freedom from that traffic. We fur
Their recommend the submission to
the people of a Constitutional Pro-
hibitory Amendment.
The steps in the Democratic and
Greenback ladders are made of the
same sort of timber.

The SentinePs Fable-With the
Application.

A sheet out West that ought to
be suppressed, or worse, be COM
PEELED to read the FREEMAN once a
week, publishes a frightful story of
the methods adopted by the Pro
hibitionists to get little suthin'
warm for their stomach's sake.
This vile paper, not the FREEMAN,
but the other one, says they carry
a bottle of whisky and tarantula
in the same pocket, the whisky be-
ing taken home, to make into cam
phor, of course, and the tarantula
to be bottled as a curiosity, The
unthinking Prohibitionist thrusts
his hand into his pocket and the
scorpion bites him. 1t is deadly
poison, as every one knows. There
is no physician handy. and the un-
thinking prohibitionist having
heard of the efficacy of alcohol, dis
titled and rectifed. in such cases,
drinks the whisky and is cured
Sentinel.
The fable is true one, only, as
related by the Sentinel, the facts
are little distorted, as is very
likely to be the case.
The facts are, that the "tarantu-
las" are bottled and preserved in
the whisky, and are carried about
and peddled by personal liberty
advocates, just to show the world
that they can swallow "tarantu-
las :" and wherever the laws allow
it they barter and trade in these
poisoned liquors, killing thousands
and boastfully proclaim their right
SO to do. And what is most aston
ishing, the Sentinel upholds the Ii
censing and carrying on Of over
thirty "tarantula" shops, right
here in Parkersburg.

Republican Ladder.
All Parties For Prohibition In Maine.

Surely, the people of Main, them
selves, ought to know better than
all others, whether Prohibition has
been a failure or success. And
what do the people of Maine say
about it? Prohibition is sustained
by an overwhelming public opini-
on. There is no opposition to it
whatever that is respectable in
number or in character. The Re-
publican party has always had it
in its platform as a chief plank,
and the Democratic party in its
State Conventions has repeatedly
and emphatically repudiated the
policy of license, so that both par
ties agree in favor of Prohibition.
AS to party declarations on the pol
icy of Prohibition, we give below
THE REPUBLICAN LADDER OF EN-
DORSEMENIS,
Going up step by step, through five
annual State Conventions, unto
final perfection in favor of
CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.
Here are It's declarations
1873 Temperance among the
people may be greatly promoted by
wise prohibitory legislation as well
as by all of those moral agencies
which have secured US benefcent
results, and it is a source of con-
graduation that the principle of
prohibition, which has always been
upheld by Republicans, is now con-
Cured in by SO large majority of
the people that it is no longer a
party question, the Democrats hav-
ing for several years declined to
contest and dispute it.
I879.-We recognize temperance
as cause which has conferred the
greatest benefit on the State and
we sustain the principle of prohib-
ition, which in it's operation has
SO largely suppressed liquor selling
and added intellectually to the sum
of virtue and prosperity among
the people.
88O.--Experience has demon
strated the wisdom of the policy of
prohibition as an auxiliary to tenn
perance reform and as contributing
to the material wealth, hap piness
and prosperity of the State, and we
refer with confidence and pride to
an undertaking support of the same
as one of the cardinal principles Of
the Republican party Of Maine.
In 1881 there was no election
and no Republican Convention,
but in June of this year the party
had a Convention in Portland, the
largest Convention ever held in
Maine, the delegates numbering
more than 1900, from every coun-
ty in the State, and this is the re-
solve that passed;
1S82.-We refer with confidence
and pride to the general record Of
the Republican party in support of

1ndiana---West Virginia.
Their People are Of One Mind as Touch
ing One Thing.

The following from the Monitor
Journal, Indiana, is just now esspe-
cially appropriate here in West
Virginia. We commend it to ev-
cry FREEMAN reader.
The Journal says:
cit Is very difficult matter to
convince some people that the
temperance movement and the
Monitor Journal are not conducted
in the interest of some particular
political party. There are many
people who have the welfare of
their party so much in their minds
that they look with an eye of sus-
plcion on any temperance or reli-
gious movement. What the Indi-
ana temperance people want, is the
submission of the prohibitory
amendment at a time and in a
manner that an honest vote can be
had on it. They ask this of the
Legislature not as democrats. re-
publicans and as nationals, but as
honest people who are making a
reasonable, honorable request.
The Legislature met Thursday.
All other questions will be handled
openly and tearlessly without fear
OF injuring ''our party" but the
caution that will be used in regard
to submission or any temperance
question will be amazing. The
Owl bill will no doubt be handled
fearlessly. Road laws and hog
laws and fence laws will be dissect-
ed and perhaps, as the Mornons
are only two thousand miles from
here, strong resolutions of indigna-
ton may be passed against them.
Of course we are only speaking
from past experience. Right here
in our midst is a curse that costs
our people S21,00O,00O per year,
2,000lives, and keeps fully seventy
five per cent of an army of 1900
convicts in our penitentiaries, be-
sides crowding jails and aims
houses and demoralizing the an
nual labor of $4,000 men; the curse
has in some way visited nearly ev-
cry family in the State and its cru
ell work still continues, and yet
men SO far forget, even the first
principles of our free government,
that they would close the ballot-box
in the faces of the people in regard
to this curse. But we find such
men under the influence of the
free lager and no-Sunday league.
The liquor men will no doubt draw
their lines closely and make de-
mands, all for their business, re-
gardless of any principle Of right
or wrong. What we ask is fair.
Let the people have an honest vote
at the traffic.

How They Laugh.

How the beer bosses must laugh
in their schooners, as they think
how easy it is to hire some men to
dig their own little political graves
to drop into when said "Bosses"
are done with them. Several lit
tie holes are being dug in Wheel
ing. The corpses will be ready by
the next election, when temper
ance ballots will bury them deep
enough to stay.

The INEvITABLE.-The People

purpose.

PRICE OF THE JoB.-Even as the
world prices glory, it would seem
that one would want good round
sum for the unenviable job of
fighting against the peace and hap
piress of ones own confding con-
stituents.
