WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN.
A Fatal Joke.

CHICAGO, January 3.-Frederick
Clifford, foreman OF a livery stable
in Evanston, is a practical joker.
He had a private bottle in the
barn, the contents of which di-
mlnished more rapidly than was
natural, and "a suspicion flashed up
on him that two boys about the
barn were in the habit of drinking
at his expense. He filed the bot
tie with whisky and croton oil in
equal quantities. One of the boys,
Berry Clark, is dead, the other
boy very sick, but it is believed
will recover. Clifford is under ar
rest.
REMARKS. In connection with
the above remark or two might
not be out of place.
First The only difference be-
tween the whisky sold in every
one Of our saloons and that used
above, was the addition of a little
more poison than usual. Both alike
are sure death only that with an
extra quantity of croton oil kills a
little quicker.
Second. Would our moral and
Christian friends of regulation, vote
to license the sale of the mixture
as above? If not, why not? 1t
only kills quicker and saves much
misery and suffering to others.

The Amendment.

Many important measures will
come before this Legislature, and
among the most important will be
the "Prohibition Amendment"
This will excite d good deal Of dis
cussion. The friends of the meas
ure think there viii be no trouble
in obtaining the necessary vote III
both Houses to pass it, and submit
it, while those opposed to the sub
mission are as sanguine that it will
be defeated in both Houses. Point
Pleasant Register.
A large majority of the newspa-
pers in the State are outspokenly
in favor of conceding this enevita-
bic right of the people without fur
Their delay, while no paper has the
brazen boldness to oppose it, and
that there should be any doubt
about the submission, can only be
accounted for from the fact that
the Devil is still at large,

A Good Lesson.

The Keyser Echo tells US that a
Mrs. McGhan, Of that place. was re-
Gently arraigned and fined $50 and
costs, in each of several cases, for
selling liquor to boys, and on Sun
day, and without license. We pre-
sumo some wise advocate of "regu-
lation" had been arguing with
Mrs. McGhan to show that "Pro-
hibition cant prohibit" and she
has been acting accordingly. Mrs.
McGhan would do well to consult
"Prohibition" text books.

Settles 1t.

A letter from Gov. G, w, Click,
of Kansas, is going the rounds Of
the Press, showing the utter de-
moralization of all things materi-
al, moral and spiritual in Kansas
since that State has been afflicted
with the bane of Prohibition.
According to Gov. Click, the
liquor traffic has rapidly advanced
in prosperity, crime has increased,
and drunkenness become as it
were, universal.
OF course this ought to settle the
whole business, in the face Of the
testimony of Gov. St. John and all
the Christian ministers and good
people Of the State
The Register ought to dispatch
one of its Staff to Kansas at once.

Vick's Floral Guide for 1888.

This beautiful annual is again
before US, and like all preceding
numbers, we find it work of great
interest and value to all lovers of
choice flowers and vegetables. Its
former publisher, the lamented
James Wick, from a very humble
beginning, by strict honesty, and
even generosity, built up a bust
ness Of mammoth proportions; and
judging from the neat appearance
and variety of contents Of the pres
ent number Of the GUIDE, his four
sons and successors, are "ehips
off the old block, " and will conduct
the business in the same careful
and liberal manner The present
number Of the GUIDE contains $50
pages, 3 colored plates, and cuts of
all the best flowers and vegetables.
Send 10 cents to James Wick, Roch-
ester, N. Y, for a copy, and you
will get book that will surprise
and please you.

$3.50 fer the FREEMAN for 1888.
We commend your paper. We
are in sympathy with its mission
and believe the time has come
when all good people should take a
stand on the side of right, and pub
licly denounce the liquor-traffic as
being wholly dishonest and disre-

blush and shudder to see a train of
demons subsisting on the price of
immortal souls and the spoils of
wretehed homes.

Gambetta as a Great Man.

The death of Gambetta, the en-
bodiment of the French Democracy
through its most eventual history
has called forth many able articles
Us to his qualities of greatness.
From a New York Tribune article
under the head "Gambetta's Secret
Power" we clip the following:
If the populace gathers in ST.
lence about the house where he
lies dead, just as it pressed about
the coffin of Mirabeau ninety years
ago, it is because he has been the
personal EN- INDICTMENT of the French
Democracy in a momentous period
of it's history. If he had undiscip-
lined vices, even vulgar weakness
es, so had the Democracy, and he
had also what his political asso-
ciates did not have, and what the
Democracy in vague uncertain
way felt that in its best moments
it also had-the inspiration of ge-
MUS.
Gambetta has been incompara-
bly, the greatest orator of the Third
Republic. In 1869, when he was
only a loquacious lawyer, who had
made an audacious speech in a
press trial, he could command the
admiration of the Imperialists.
During the reactionary intrigues
his invectivos were masterpieces of
denunciation, which impaired to
France a thrilling sense of patriotic
indignation. At the height of his
political authority he had only to
step down from the Presidents
platform and ascend the tribune in
order to reverse the policy of the
Ministry of the day and to decree
amnesty to the Communistic con-
victs. When a turbulent faction
at Belleville wished to humiliate
him they had to silence him by
their tumuit and uproar, and the
hostile Deputies who condemned
his policy year ago and dismissed
him from the Premiership, by an
overwhelming majority, coald not
help applauding his speech. BY
birth a tribune Of the people and
not a patrician, the gestures of
command were natural to him as
they were to Mirabeau, and his ell
oquence famed out from a soul at
white heat. If it was the blood of
Italy that added intensity Of pas
sion to his eloquence, it was
France, and France alone, that
seemed to be speaking through him
when he was in the tribune.

Cincinnati justice.

The other day a poor, helpless,
and friendless woman was fined
and sentenced to the work-house in
Cincinnati for selling beer on Sun
day,
It appeared that her husband
was lying at the point Of death,
which was the cause Of her being
behind the bar at the time Of the
ofense.
The notorious beer-gardens and
big dens Of infamy openly ply
their trades in defiance Of law, and
60 "Scott free" but miserable
sinner, with no means to buy juries
nor friends to perjure themselves
in her behalf, must be made an ex-
ample of.
But why instance this case ?
This is but the logic Of the liquor
traffic wherever we find it.
Wherever tolerated it corruptly
buys it's liberation, just as it does
in This CITY.

Wouldn't your city council and

require the good people and tax
payers to bear all the present

MILLIONS TRIUMPH.

MILTON, CABELL 20.
ED. FREEMAN Let US tell you
something to make you glad.
At our corporation election, we
elected a full Temperance Council
The whisky men worked hard
against US, but we overcame them,
and it is SO good we have to tell it
all around about. Our good broth
ers, Haley, Moore, and A. j. Nc
Chung labored hard for our success.
Many thanks to them!
We have plenty Of mud in Mil
ton, but now hope our Temperance
Council will put something "dry"
on the streets.
Rev. Moore is engaged in pro-
tracted meeting at the M. E.
Church, with promise of success.
The good people of Milton are
hopeful for 1888, Well have less
whisky, less trouble and more
money; will do more good and take
more FREEMANs.
We didn't do much in 80, but
have now laid good foundation
for '83.
Send on the Freeman to help us,
and we viii help you. We can
not---we will not, do without the
FREEMAN. Yours,
A. d. PANCAKE.
We have news of Temperance
victories in the corporation cleo
lions at West Uuion and Clarks-
burg, but havn't particulars.
The victories at Keyser and
Milton are especially gratifying,
where the struggle has been pro
longed and the issue squarely met.

NOTHING OBJECTIoNABLE.-We
make it a point to admit to the
FREEMAN columns nothing that
any parent would object to being
read aloud in the family circle, or
that might in any way harm the
tastes of the young or offend the
moral sense of the older. We re-
fuse all doubtful advertisements,
and will not, knowingly, advertise
anything either fraudulent in pre-
tensions or hurtful to society. If
we sometimes get imposed on, it
will be by mistake, and not Of in
tention.
