An EXPENSIVE VAuIT.--The Norristown Pa)
Daily Herald, OF the 9Th instant, gives the fol.
lowing, from which 1t appears that the con-
tractor for furnishing safes and vault work TO
the government, Mr.. George J.. Damon, of Bos-
ton, Mass, produces superior work: "Con.
tracts were signed to-day between the new
Montgomery Insurance, Trust, and Safe Deposit
company, OF this plnce, and George l.. Damon,
of Boston, Tor building the burglar.proof
vaults, doors, boxes, &c. The contract amounts
to 10000, and the work when completed will
be second TO none in the country, as regards
security from burglars and fire. Mr.. Damon,
who Is well known as the maker of the United
States treasury department safes, furnished
somewhat similar job few years since to the
Commonwealth Safe Deposit company, of
Harrisburg. and has supplied many of the
Philadelphia banks with their security. This
contract, awarded after months of delibera-
tion by the committee In charge, and after
looking into the merits Of nearly all the other
leading makers, will undoubtedly be the means
of further establishing Mr.. Damon's reputation
a. builder of first class burglar and fire proof
security. The contract was signed by Mr. A.
Is. Curtis, representing the manufacturer"

NAMES.
Can They Afford 1t!

Like some others Of our State ex-
changes, the Wetzel Messenger has
been saying some very foolish
things in very ugly spirit. 1t is
either too blind to see the truth
or too mad to tell it. 1t repeats
the slanderous nonsense about st.
John selling out, and concludes
that prohibition has been put
back at least half a century. Poor,
mad, deluded mortal, he who thinks
that a great wave Of reform like
that which now rolls on to over
wheim the yillainous Liquor Traf-
fc, could be held in check by even
an army of st. Johns, should they
all turn TRAITORS and oppose it. All
ISLANDERS against St. John only re-
bound to plague the slanderers; but
let who may prove faithless, the
cause of the People and of Right
will go irresistibly on, and the
Messenger might as well try to stop
hurricane with chaf, as to at
tempt to turn back the resistless
tide of public sentiment against
the liquor crime, by piling up
threats and making ugly partizan
faces at it.
The tide is rapidly rising to its
flood, when no party will dare stand
up and face it.
The Messenger makes wild
mistake to threaten the Temper
ance cause with any spiteful oppo-
sition from Republicans, and Re-
publicans wauld make a wilder
mistake to follow its ill-digested
suggestions.
/ Can either the Republican OF
Democratic party of West Virgins
afford longer to resist the will o.
the West Virginia People?
Wisdom, fairness, right and jus
tice, all alike demand that all hon
est Republicans and Democrat
shall favor the submission of th'
Amendment. We believe the.
will do so, in spite of pique or poll
cy of partizans or politicians.

Will it Submit?

We believe the coming Legisla-
ture will do what is right and grant
the desires Of the People. Only let
the People make known their
wishes and their elected represen-
tatives will most surely grant their
prayers. Let the Voters Petitions
be pushed and numerously signed
in every district, and let the Homes
Petition in this FREEMAN be cut
out and signed wherever it comes.
Remember friends, little work
Just here and now, may save much
money to your business and pree-
ious lives to your homes.
We believe the Legislature will
submit the the Amendment. We
are very sure of it, if all the people
who desire at will send up theil
prayer in that behalf.

A Happy New Year.

The FREEMAN most earnestly
and heartily wishes A Happy New
Year for all its readers and friends,
and would do all in its power to
bring down showers of blessings on
it's enemies. But while wishing
happiness for all others, it is not
and cannot be happy itself while
there is so much wreck and ruin,
wretchedness and woe on every
hand, caused by the the intolerant
and intolerable curse of the Liquor
Traffic.
AS in the past, so in the future,
the FREEMAN's measure of happi-
ness must be in the amount OF
effectual work it can do in lifting
up the falling and saving the weak
and tempted.
To this work it commits its best
endeavors for another year, implor
ing the aid of allwho have hearts te
feel and hands to help their suffer
ing fellows and invoking the specia
blessings of Heaven on all who are
willing to work and vote, pray anc
sacrifice in the cause of God, Home
and Native Land.

not taken into consideration all the
facts. Prohibitionists can here see
the need and profta5leness Of Wig
orous work, while politicians may
learn if they will, the effects of OPP
position to prohibitory legislation.
Still another fact, plainly set
forth, is the utter untrustworthl-
ness of professed temperance men
who worship party. A little adj
versityihas tested them, and many
who claimed to be prohibitionists
two months ago are now helping
the whisky men. They are gov
erned by selfshness or mere policy
instead Of principle. Our leaders
now know the true friends from
the false. They have better idea
of how much dependence is to be
put in the professions of political
parties. Gideon's Band was strong
er with its three hundred than it
would have been with the $4,000
of those who were Fearful and
afraid" and half-hearted. There is
no real, lasting strength in num-
bers unless they are built on a
foundation of principle and con-
viction. Our Saviour's cause did
not lose anything when many of
his disciples went back and walk
ed no more with him" 1t only
showed the solid material in the
foundation and rid it of rubbish
that would have weakened the
kingdom. So, much rubbish has
been swept from the Temperance
cause. The wood, hay and stubble
has been swept away, but the gold,
silver and precious stones are there
yet,in good, solid, growing found
alton.
One more fact shown, is that the
Prohibitionists have the balance of
power in doubtful and pivotal
States, and so in the whole coun-
try. This will give us a wonder
full leverage in the future and is
calculated to give hope and courage
to the cause. The wrath of Repub-
licans and quiet respect of Demo
Gratis, which would have been
transposed with reversed results,
alike ack knowledge this command
ing position of the prohibitionists !;
and soon both parties will begin
to think more of what they may
do than of what they have done.
On the whole the friends of Pro
hibition can look with a great
deal of satisfaction upon the results
of the late elections so far as it af-
fects their interests. There is
much to instruct and much to en-
courage. We shall yet see greater
things than these.

Lessons from the Election.

To practical men of all opinions,
the late election has demonstrated
several facts touching the cause of
Prohibition.
The first is that the true friends
Of the cause are rapidly increasing
and growing more determined. An
increase from 10000 to over $50, 900,
TO the Prohibition party in four
years indicates corresponding in
crease among those Prohibitionists
who still adhere to the old parties,
and clearly demonstrates the rapid
growth of the cause.
The fact that these 10000 sup
porters of st. John resisted the
enormous pressure that was brought
10 bear to keep them in the old
parties, clearly shows the increas-
cd determination of Prohibitionists.
Those who think ali this indicates
the weakness of the cause and are
disposed to belittle and ridicule it,
have about as much sense as the
man who thought the whole ice
berg was on top of the water, and
that the projecting cliff was all
there was of the rock. The prohi-
bition cliff is sticking out very
prominently now, and it's unyield-
ing solidity tells of the mighty,
massive rock behind, of which it is
but a part.
Let not our West Virginia Leg
islature make a mistake this win
ter in supposing that the 939 who
voted for St. John in this State are
all the Prohibitionists we have.
They are only the advance guard
Of the great army behind, ready for
the conflict when its service is de-
manded.
Another fact clearly demonstra-
ted is that the Third Party has
grown most rapidly where there is
most opposition to Prohibition
from the old parties, together with
most earnest work in its favor by
its friends. The largest vote for
Ct. John was IN New York, where
politicians trif1ed with the prayers
Of the people, and where Prohibi-
stionists worked most earnestly for
the good of the cause. Witness
also the comparatively large vote
in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio
and Illinois, where politicians
have trifed with the peoples petit
tions. In Maine, Iowa and Kansas,
the vote was comparatively small
because the dominant party in
those state has favored the cause and
given what the people want The
vote was not so large in the South
orn States, because of less opposi
ton to their methods of reform, ane
for the want Of organization ant
work for the Third Party. Thos'
who conclude from the st. Johl
vote in the South, that Prohibi
tionists are scarce down there, hav
