Victory at Last.

EDITOR FREEMAN: You ought
to pay Weston a visit now. No
danger now of being sickened by
the fumes of bad whisky, when you
walk the streets. We have won a
victory, for which all good citizens
feel grateful to our County Court.
Well, many of us are happy now.
There is great rejoicing here. All
the good people say amen! The
women say, ave are glad" Great
men say, This victor is glorious"
The children will say, "now papa
will save his money to buy lasses,
and we'll have some taffy."
We breathe a little easier now,
but this is not enough; we must
push right along till we shall have
gained another and grander victo-
ry all over State for Prohibition.
We can and, under God, we will
win. Next election we'll.get better
and truer men than many of those
we sent last Winter. Let none be
put on guard but true men; men
who will heed the peoples prayers.
/ tell you, Mr.. Editor, feel ex-
ceedingly good; wish | could see
you so we could have a good old
fashioned methodist shout.
But while we are happy, many
others are not.
On this first day of May, there
were many mourners in Weston.
You would have tho't that quite a
number of the relatives of the sa-
loon keepers were dead. There is
still lamentation and weeping.
The whisky men stand in front of
their saloons, and such "cussing" l
have not heard lately. They "cuss'
the County Court, they "cuss" Tenn
perance people, and in fact nearly
everything else.
Well, let 'em mourn.
I wish to tell you something.
Don't you tell any body else about
it. This is it: You are charged
with most of the trouble among
these whisky sellers. They hate
the FREEMAN as they hate the dew
il; yes, and good deal worse.
Keep on pouring shot and shell
into the putrid ranks Of the Grip
pied foe.
Right will prevail.

Let all the people rejoice with
us.

Shareholder and Rumseller
BY EGBERT l.. BANGS.

Even in the darkest days of sla-
very, the eyes of some men were
open to the danger the nation
was in from the liquor traffic. Ev-
en- then some of them saw that be-
yond the smoke of conflict over one
vital question, another was loom
ing up. l used to hear it said,
"When the slavery question is set
tied, the temperance question will
come to the front and will be a ma
tional issue" Such an issue that
question is fast becoming. Year
after year it has been local issue
in politics.
Within the past five years it has
gathered up the skirts of its gar
ments and with quiet determina-
ton has marched into the political
arena, where whole States have
been the battle ground. Sooner or
later it will be a national question,
and temperance will take its right
full place among the national issues
of the day. 1t is just as natural to
compare the two evils, slavery and
intemperance, with each other, as
it would be for man to compare
his second wife who makes his life
burden, with her predecessor,
from whom, fortunately, he has OBJ
tanned a divorce. AS he goes into
court to get free from number two,
he very naturally looks back to his
former conflict and victory.
Slavery was bondage to mas
ter. So is intemperance. Slavery
appealed to the Bible for its justif-
cation. 1t was looked upon as a
divine institution-as Gods own
chosen method of showing His love
for mankind. And He showed
that love, if we may accept the
pro-slavery Interpretation of the
Bible, by creating white race
with whip and spurs, and black
race with saddles on their backs,
and bits in their mouths, so that
white could ride and black could
carry him.
No wonder that such theology
was as distasteful to men of aver
age common sense as probation af-
ter death is to the trustees of Ando-
yer.
Drinking, if not divine institu-
ton, is considered at least divine
indulgence, and the man who gets
far along towards the condition of
Noah, under the influence of wine,
gravely cites the marriage in Cana,
and refers to Christ as authority for
his right to drink wine.
That line of argument is follow
ed by men who get drunk, and by
men who are always sober; and it
is hard to tell which class enjoys it
most.
There was an immense power
back of slavery. Its constituency
was representative one. The
number of Shareholders was COM
paratively small, but they represen-
ted political influence, and con
summate leadership. Even the
slave had a certain amount of pride
in his master. 1t was a disgrace to
be owned by poor white trash. 1t
took a good deal of the curse off to
be owned by wealthy and cultur-
ed aristocrat. There was enough
of kindness, mixed with much
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-05-16

of personal affection on the part of
the slave, for his master.
The social position of the slave
holder was a high one. He was
looked up to at home, and when
sent to Congress, even Northern
men who hated slavery looked
with a good deal of respect upon
the STAKEHOLDER. They were rather
pleased to be met by him on terms
of social equality.
Liquor, too, has political power,
but not because the men who sell
it are men of brains, or high cul-
ture, or fine social position. The
gutter drunkard, while he makes
it point of honor, and false one,
too, not to betray the man who has
injured him by selling him liquor
in violation of the law, yet looks
upon him with infinitely less re-
spect than the slave did upon his
master. He has no affection for
him. Here and there liquor sell
er goes into society and is seen at
the select party. But that is ex-
ceptional. There's a certain amount
of unwillingness to receive him
and his family into the best circles,
and that is as it should be. There
is far less strength, far less ability,
in the representative men who sell
liquor, or who manufacture it,
than there was in the men who
controlled the slave interest. There
was at least sincerity on the part
of the stakeholder when he claimed
that the institution was a divine
one. When liquor sellers howl
about violations of personal liberty
and curse all restraining laws, they
themselves don't believe what they
say, and nobody else believes it.
The backbone of the liquor traffic
is therefore in at least one spot
a weaker one than that of slavery
was. We are to-day dealing
blows that will ultimately break
it.-Christidm Aduocate.

WARM SPRINGS, BATH G. H. !
May 5, 1888. !
DEAR FREEMAN: A few "notes
by the way" may not come amiss.
In passing through our own State
l found healthy, strong sentiment
in favor of the FREEMAN and Tenn
perance.
In Webster county, the best men,
morally, are true to the temper
ance cause, and yet the Commits
sioners license a doggery in Add
son, the county seat. But, ere long,
such a state of things twill down
before the tide"
1t would be well / think to send
some specimen copies of the FREE
MAN, with some of its "babies" to
Walter Standard for circulation,
and l think he will interest him
self to get you some subscribers.
At Huntersville, too, you should
have a representative. | am told
by the editor of the prospective
Pocahontas Times that his paper
will be for temperance.
Here at Bath C. H. | find that
whisky has made sad work with
several Of the, otherwise, noblest of
men, both old and young. One
whole family, who few years ago,
stood high, has been totally wreck
ed by it. No man, who has any
interest whatever in the moral Gull
ture of the rising generation, is 60
ing to countenance the making and
selling of the stuff that blights,
withers and curses every one who
handles it or drinks it.
All the way from my home to
this place | have been kindly cared
for; met and enjoyed the company
and hospitality of many an old
friend, and have had the privilege
of talking the Gospel and prohibi-
ton to several congregations, and
I find that the "no"- voting Legis-
lators and Senators are not held in
very high esteem, especially by
those who love good society, order
and morality.
