want to heartily endorse the prin-
ciple here recognized, that impor-
tant questions-ft subjects for Con-
stitutional enactment-ougM to be
submitted to q cote Of the people.
There is question Of overtower-
ing importance upon which the
people want to be heard at the
polls; a question, beside which
this assess ment controversy sinks
into insignificance. 1t is The ques-
ton Of 1.-THE Prohibition of the
Liquor Traffic"
The amount of additional taxes
the people might be required to
pay under the new order of assess
ment, would be the merest trifle,
compared with the enormous drain
the Liquor Traffic is exacting. The
city of Parkersburg, in this year of
grace, 1884, will pay into the saloon
Golfers more money than the farm
products" levy, of the entire State.
The taxes paid on farm products
may do some good. They will help
to support the government, pay
the State debt, increase the school
fund, The liquor traffic tax is worse
than wasted; it is the purchase of
untold misery and crime. Were
this Ubiquitous liquor bill tax-this
curse of curses-suddenly
thrust upon the people Of West
Virginia, as the Assessment Or
der" has been, it would drive the
people wild. They would not rest
until it was driven from the State.
May not the people vote on this
Prohibition question too? We
hope that coming State Conven-
tons will likewise resolve in favor
Of allowing an expression of the
people on this chief of political is
sues, Prohibition.

The Battle Goes On.
unavenge

The general battle goes grandly
on, with its many victories and oc-
casional reverses.
Marion county and Fairmont
have redeemed their fair name by
refusing to legalize drunkard-
factory within their borders, for
the year of Grace, 1884.
Ceredo has elected a Prohibition
Mayor and Council, and banished
the saloonist candidate for Mayor,
from the town with his wicked
business.
Huntington has raised the IL
cense fee to $500, reduced the num-
Der of saloons, and stirred up a
hornets nest in that part of Liz
uordom's immoral vineyard.
Sistersville has risen up in her
sober dignity and chased the sa-
loon-druggist out of the State.
Ceredo gained glorious victory
and to-day is the last Of the
saloon curse in that goodly town.
Weston and Lewis county sit
down on the miserable traffic with
more vigor and frmness of back
bone than ever. And so the fight
goes on.

INFAMOUS INSULT.
The Climax of Infamous Legis-
latiOn.

The action of the Ohio Legisla-
ture, recently adjourned, on the
liquor question, was SO intolerably
insulting to all decency and intel
ligence as to render all possible
comment entirely inadequate.
During the entire sessions the
Democratic majority, crawled like
slavish ours beneath the uplifted
lash of the saloon boss, who de-
manded the repeal of the Scott
Law. Fearing the people less and
the saloons more, at the last mo-
ment, all that was good of the Scott
Law, the local option feature, was
repealed, and Graded License"
Constitutional Amendment agreed
upon in party caucus.
This last act Of these political
towards was the most infamous
proceeding of all modern legisla-
ton. Look at the facts, just for a
moment.
The Legislature was besieged
with petitions signed by more than
125, 900 of the best citizens of Ohio,
praying the re-submission of the
Prohi5itory Amendment, which
had already received the hearty APP
prevail of over $4,000 voters, be-
sides the thousands of uncounted
votes cast in it's favor.
Against these 5000 petition
ers, 1856 hangers-on Of saloons petit
toned the Legislature for the
Graded License law. And be it
remembered the preceding Repub
lican Legislature had submitted
this same principle in the form Of
the "First Amendment" which
barely received 10000 votes out Of
nearly 100000. Just think of it +!
This infamous License proposition

peatedly spurned and spit upon,
and flung back into the faces O.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 80, 1884.
Scott Law in Cincinnati.

The saloonists must at least be
accorded the merit of discovering to
the world some facts, occasionally,
that were otherwise hard to be
reached.
The Commercial Gazette has been
constantly harping on the fact
that the Scott Law has closed the
low saloons in Cincinnati. That
its conclusions are reached by
' counting only the saloons that
q pay the tax is evident from the
proceedings Of recent meeting of
the Saloonists' Protective Associa a.
ton, as reported by the CONNER
'ciaI Gazette.
After arraigning the Democratic
party for not fulfilling it's pledge
by repeating the Scott Law, they
assailed the workings of the law
and counSeled refusal to pay the
tax. We quote:
"Mr. Louis Wielert, who had
been appointed to investigate the
records as to the payment of Scott
Tax, reported that 264 saloon keep
ers last year had not paid the tax,
nor were they molested, although
the authorities had been constant
IL urged to make arrests, the pur-
pose being to bring another test
case of the constitutionality of the
Scott Law.
One of the speakers said they
ought to be slow about paying the
tax for the coming year. There
was no necessity Of showing them
selves towards as they did last
year and rush at once with what he
called "blood money" Another
speaker thought it was time for the
saloon keepers to organize them
selves into a separate party. A
resolution was also adopted pledg-
ing the support Of the saloon keep
ers to George Richards, candidate
for Clerk OF Police on the Republi-
can ticket; in consideration Of the
services rendered by him in the
Smith Law emergency"
1t is unnecessary to add that Mr..
Richards, the saloonists' friend, was
elected. The saloons always elect
their friends in Cincinnati.
And so it appears that 264 saloons
in the city ignore the tax and de-
