"Burst to Flinders"

The Champion, a whisky paper,
says "the prohibition movement IS
burst to flinders by the Supreme
Court decision" but winds up by
saying:
THE Prohibitionists, as we often
told our readers, are like the To-
Gusts of Kansas. You might slau--
ter millions of them this year, and
if you leave a handful alive tor
breeding purposes they'll overrun,
devastate, and ruin a whole State
aext Summer.
Beware Be vigilantl Be active
and energetic Do not imagine
that all danger is past. The whole
union congratulates you upon your
victory, but rest assured that the
enemy has only thrown up the
sponge for the present, and is gong
to rally within an incredible short
space Of time and resume the ag-
gressive."

The People VS.. The Liquor Traffic.

Having examined and enjoyed
the recently-publishel volume with
the above title, we are sure that its
excellence as a vigor us helper in
the Struggle of the Jay, ought to
give it ready and wide circula-
ton.
The book embraces Speeches and
Lectures Of eminent temperance
workers in the recent campaigns in
Iowa and Kansas, and we were es-
pecially pleased with the cuttingly
direct and practical way of putting
things by the Hon. John r. Finch,
of Nebraska. He meets the liquor
traffic arguments on the enemy's
own grounds and lays swathes of
Phillistines with his jaw-bone of
Prohibition truth wherever he
goes. Send dollar to Rev. DR..
Jutkins, Room s, No. 81 Washing
ton Street, Chicago, and get this
excellent book.

Editorial Correspondence.

ILulUOh los WI
The FREEMAN clay delegate" gath
ering up his voluntary credentials,
boarded the Chesapeake, Friday
morning, bound for the
PARKERsBURG U. B. CONFERENCE.
in session down among the rich
bottom lands Of Mason county.
After pleasant trip on this reg
ular timetable packet, that car
ries travellers with all the prompt
ness of the railroads and with COM
forts and pleasures incompatible,
we leaped ashore at New Haven
at 3, p. M, and into DR.. Hensley's
buggy, which we were lucky to
find with room beside the light
weight doctor, and in few min
utes were trying to squeeze ourself
into Bachtel Chapel. Il miles
above New Haven
Here had been in session since
Wednesday, March IA, the Par
kersburg U. B. Conference, COM
posed Of all the United Brethren
churches of West Virginia, west of
the mountains.
The attendance of ministers and
lay delegates was moderately full,
with Bishop Dixon, of WestervilIe,
Ohio, presiding.
The vicinity Of New Haven
seems to be especially United
Brethren ground, as we were point
ed to nearly a half dozen U. B.
chapels and churches within "a
.dius of few miles.
The local attendance was large,
the house being crowded to its full
lest at every session.
, The conference business closed
on Saturday, and adjourned in the
best of spirits and good feeling af-
ter the temperance meeting in the
evening, which is reported else
where.
On Sunday morning, Bishop
Dixon preached, after which Revs.
H. R. Hess and A. S. Blagg were
ordained to elders orders.
In the afternoon, conference
experience and conservation meet
ing was largely attended and rich
ly enjoyed by all Christians pres
ent. 1t was an occasion of deep
interest to all because of the es-
.pecially manifest presence of the
Holy Spirit.
Sunday morning and evening,
the several churches in the near
vicinity, on both sides the riv-
.er, were occupied by Conference
ministers.
After most harmonious, pleas
ant and as all agreed, profitable SEES
sion, all the up-river delegates, en-
barked on the Hibernia, at 6, a.
M, Monday, bound for their homes
and fields of labor, and in the
midst of all these kind-hearted,
od-humored and jolly Brethren,
sailing up the Ohio, through Wig
gins belated STOW storm, we are
now scribbling these notes.

powerful Tyrant ready to Go his
bidding in misquoting, mis-report-
ing the words from the sacred desk
and defaming the faithful servants
of the Most High.
AS an instance of their wanton
attacks on the ministry for advoca-
ting the cause of temperance and
prohibition, we clip the following
from the Wheeling Intelligemcer.
Rev. Geo. E. Hite, because of his
prompt, faithful and fearless de-
nunciations of this greatest enemy
of the church and the people he
loves has for some time past been
the special objectof the venom of the
miserable traffic and those who
speak for it, and no occasion has
been let slip to get in their shame
less work.

The Spirit of the Traffic.

aid and abet the 1mpudent ollgar-
chy in its villainous business, is
most unsparing in its assaults on
all who dare expose its tricks and
imfamies and are courageous to
stand at the thresholds of their
homes to denounce its intrigues and
strategies and ward off its murder
Gus attacks.
And against none others is this
defiant foe to humanity so bitter
and devilishly hostile as against the
church and the pulpit.
Because forsooth, in their love for
their fellows and zeal for the well
fare of the church and the people
for whom they live and labor, min
listers are constrained to denounce
the liquor traffic, and rebuke its
apologists and defenders, the spleen
of this tyrant without heart or soul
is ever ready to be spewed upon
them in special measure and bitter
ness.
When the nature of the traffic in
liquors for gain for the debauching
of humanity is considered, and the
character of the classes generally
engaged in it, is known, it is not
surprising that the church and the
pulpit should have the special en-
nifty and hatred of the evil spirits
friendly to or in any way allied
with this business of death.
1t is the business of the bad to
prey upon the good, and it is the
business of the worst elements of
society to oppose and fight the best,
and the weapons used in this war
fare are in keeping with the char
acter of those using them.
While Christian and moral men
and women in their war against
the grog-shops, both of choice and
necessity must use only the weap-
ons of truth, prayer, appeal and
law, they are presistently met at
every point with falsehood, impre-
cation, defiance and treachery in
evasion Of law, such as would not
for day be tolerated by any civil
lied community in connection with
any other business than this I'M
scrupulous and overweening liquor
traffic.
Here is giant wrong anchored
in our midst by authority of law.
AS wanton, defiant, legalized out
rage, it lifts its fiery, bloated
countenance as a frightful insult
and standing threat at the very
doors of our peaceful, happy homes;
and if haply the mothers in these
homes, lowering over her little
ones to shield them from the de-
mon, lift their anxious hearts to
Heaven for protection, they are
straightway insulted by Senator
who should be quick to interpose
relief, but who shames the very
devil himself, by saying, 1.-The women
don't know what they want"
We say, shames the devil, for Sa-
tan himself well knows that when
women prays she does knoao what
she wants, and that she'll get it too,
in due course Of time in spite of
legislatures, politicians and the
devil, all combined.
Moreover, if the fathers in these
homes protest against this cruel
menace in front of their home al
tars, they are set on and soundly
denounced as scheming fanatics and
venturesome busybodies, bent on
overturning the old order of things
and unsettling party plans and
platforms, and all that.
And when the ministers of the
community, the heaven-appoin ted

An Unjustified Attack on Rev Gee
e. Hite, of this City.

A recent issue of the Clarksburg
TELEGRAM, contains the following
attack on Rev. Geo. E. Hite, Of this
city: cat a temperance meeting
in Wheeling, a fellow named Hite,
who pretends to be a preacher, made
a prayer in which he ask
ed the curse of God on those who
voted against the prohibition
amendment. He's daisy"
Meeting Mr.. Hite yesterday re-
porter asked him if he had seen it.
He had not and naturally enough
after reading it was justly indig-
nant. Said he:
"You know, and my friends know
that [ never said anything like
that. Well, Pm very glad to hear
that the State press generally is
doubling it. Let me tell you
how it was: / was invited to offer
prayer at the meeting, which was
the last one held at Washington
Hall. [ prayed as minister of the
Gospel usually prays, asking the
blessing Of God on our cause. I did
not pray for the curse of God or.
anything; why, the very thought
of such a thing actually shocks me
i wouldn't dare do it. It's out
rageous to charge me with such a
thing. It's terrible | tell you-in
such a sacred act as that of prayer
to invoke the curse of God on any
thing Why the very idea is re-
pugnant. The report that [ pray
ed in such manner was first start
ed by the Register in its report Of
the meeting. | went up there next
morning and tried to find some one
who would assume the responsible
ity of the article-that's the troub-
lie at that office, in case like this
you can't find any one who will
assume it. At last l found Mr..
John Baker, and in a gentle man
ner showed how grossly | had been
misrepresented. He said that the
report had been placed in the city
editors hands by an outside party,
and that it would afford him pleas
ure to correct the report in the
morning and do me justice. I left,
believing that he would do as he
said, but that correction has never
appeared. | am glad of this OPP
portunity to speak out in my own
behalf"
