Mr.. BLAINE is not a candidate for President
but the last intelligence from the man-out-of
politics, who is engrossed in writing books, is to
the effect that inside of the Blaine camp at Wash
ington there is a confidence in the nomination of
the Plumed Knight Of destiny that amounts to
the hilarious. The last few days have brought
good news from many quarters, particularly from
the northwest and some parts Of the south.
From Pennsylvania the reports are almost too
good to be true. They point to Blaine delega-
ton by large majority. From New York, also,
the report is better than was expected. But for
all this Mr.. Blaine will not be nominated, and his
last estate will be than his first, that is to
say, his last disappointment will be more bitter
and overwhelming than any he has encountered.

EDMUND YATES, the editor of the London
World is too much of free lance for peaceful
journalist He has been sentenced to four years
imprisonment for libel uttered against the Earl
of Lansdowne. Mr.. Yates is not always sure of
the facts upon which he bases his comments.

A WASHINGTON society item runs: ''There is
suspicion gaining ground that Mrs McEroy has
performed the duties of the lady of the White
House too well, and has quite put it out of the
Presidents head to supply the establishment
with an all around the year mistress. As Presi-
dent Arthur will leave the White House in less
than year, there is no occasion for him to pro
vide mistress for the establishment. This is
not an Empire and Mr.. Arthur will go his way
when his accidental term expires.

WHEN Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison were dined re-
Gently at the White House, the President selected
Mrs. Morrison to accompany him to the table
and Mr.. Morrison was accompanied by Mrs.
McElroy. All the floral decorations were hor-
zontal, and it was commented at the table that
this was delicate compliment to Mr.. Morrison
The foolishness of this idea andShe hard strain
by which it was evolved is shown in the fact that
it has been established as the mode at the White
House that all monster elevations in the middle
of the table shall be omitted and nothing but flat
decorations used.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS lectured on John Brown
at Philadelphia Monday night. From some
cause, either the subject, or the speaker, very
few people were present. The fact undoubtedly
is, Mr.. Douglass is not now, and never can again
be, the man to awake any sentiment of public
interest. His day is over.

or 1880 were of foreign parentage. More than
one-half of the marriages were among foreign

deaths were of children under five years of age.

QUITE number of Gen. Grants friends are
feeling unpleasantly because of his preference
and efforts for Logan. While all of his admirers
are ready to drop all other preference at the tap
of the drum, If the Old Commander should come
into the field, they have scattered" as between
all other men, and more of them incline to Blaine
than to Logan Not few believe that Grants
favor for Logan is merely the output of his hate
of Blaiue and it is certain that the partisans of
Garfeld's heir are making much of the attitude of
Grant in the premises. Hate fights with des-
perate vigor unknown to love.

exports, which it could not do,still
the loss would be less than from
whisky. Hence, if it is political
to enact laws that will increase the
wealth of the country, Prohibition
is as much a political question as
the tariff.
How can the party that makes
the protection tariff its boast con-
sistently refuse to espouse the pro-
hibition cause?
A QUESTION OF TAXES AND TROUBLES.
Let us now consider the whisky
traffic in it's effect upon the taxes
and upon the functions Of govern
ment. Because of it our police
force is many times larger than
otherwise would be necessary. Or
phan asylums, reform schools, poor
houses and prisons are multiplied
and kept filled by it, while nine
tenths of all the cases of insanity
are due directly or indirectly to
this traffic. When the attendance
at these institutions and the cost
of maintaining them is kept at the
maximum, government can not
be said to be either wisely or econ,
omically administered. This cost
forms an item of expense in our
State, by the side of which reaSSess-
maert dwindles into insignifcance-
Because the traffic fosters ignorance,
cherishes every crime and immor-
ality, destroys the physical power
of the individual and units him
for his duties as citizen, the gov
eminent is justified in restricting
or destroying it as means Of self
preservation. Surely this were
practical political economy.
The foregoing facts show that
prohibition is political question,
even in the narrowest sense Of the
word political, and the party that
discards it disregards aquestion of
vital Importance to the people of
this Republic.

Mason County Awake.

DEAR FREEMAN Your weekly
visits are very welcome because
you come freighted with the glori-
Gus news of the prospective tri-
umphs of Prohibition in our own
beloved West Virginia. We hope
to see the day when through such
work as you are doing, the liquor
traffic crime will have been swept
from our midst and with it all its
train of terrible evils.
Professor Purinton and Rev. G. G.
Wilding, each lectured in the M
E, church last Wednesday night,
and at Mason City the night follow
ing. They had large, intelligent
and attentive audiences, and judg-
ing from the interest manifested
by the people, much good was &C.
complished. The arguments adj
vanced by these two champions for
the Right, were absolutely unan-
swerable and must have sent con-
viction to the hearts of the beer
and whisky advocates who were
present, and there were many.
The cause of Prohibition in these
parts is all aglow. We look upon
this as the irrepressible conflict
No. 2. The advocates Of Prohibi-
ton will never ground arms till
victory perches upon our grand
banner, bearing the inscription,
"For God and Home and Coun-
try" as its motto. Mason county,
one of the banner counties in the
suppression of the rebellion, must
not and will not be behind in the
suppression of traffic that is ours
ing this world ten fold more than
slavery ever did, We say so be-
cause it is destroying more lives
and desolating more homes and
furnishing more victims for the
almshouse, the penitentiary and
the gallows than all other causes
combined.
We hope ever to send up a good
report from Mason county.

>. s. Temperance Picnic at Peni-

ED. FREEMAN We expect to
have a Sunday School Temperance
picnic at Pencil, in which six Sun
day Schools will unite, ON Satur-
day August 30th. We expect to
have together large crowd of peo-
pie, and the committee of arrange
ments directed me to write and So
cure DR.. Warner for an address if
possible.
There are many staunch tenn
perance men here and many more
almost persuaded, and we think
the Doctor could do a good work
by coming. Please let us know
soon if he can come.
Mr.. and Mrs. FREEMAN and all
the little FREEMANs are cordially
invited to our picnic. Yours,

THE KANAWHA VALLEY.
BrOWnstOWM Prohibition and
Kanawha Valley Association.

DEAR FREEMAN Last night |
was present at a meeting Of the To-
cal Prohibition Club of Browstown
Kanawha county.
Rev. r. Workman presided and
Rev. Mr.. Dixon addressed the audi
ence, holding the people for an
hour as if they had been magnet
zed. He is an able reasoner and a
bold defender of our cause. He
urged our friends to accept no COM
promise with the enemy, and to
work, pray and vote for Prohibi-
ton.
All were delighted with the elo-
quent address except that an ex-
saloon keeper present, whose occu-
patton is gone, did not seem to be
happy under it.
At the close of the meeting IL
new members signed the constitu-
ton. This is large and prosper
Gus club, embracing, as the Presi-
dent announced, more than half the
persons in the community. The
club meets every two weeks.

also attended the Kanawha

tertained by the members and
friends of the Church. X.

Prohibition a Political Question,

ED. FREEMAN The statement
is often made that Prohibition is a
moral not a political question. We
wish to adduce few facts to show
how far this is true when tried by
the same standard by which ac-
knowledged political questions are
tried.
The argument for a protective
tariff is not that the government
needs the money that it collects in
this way; for the question, "What
shall we do with the surplus rev.
enue ?" is now agitated But that
it brings wealth to our citizens, to
the laboring man as we'll as the
capitalist, and thus directly con-
duces to the welfare, happiness and
enlightenment OF the people.
In 1883 SS26,O00,000 were spent
for intoxicating liquors. This is
greater than the amount spent for
foods of all kinds; greater than the
wages paid to all our manufactur,
ing laborers, and greater than the
value of all our exports.
The government gets an incon-
siderable part of this as revenue,
AS for the rest, the most ardent
supporter of free whisky can not
show that the $80O,0O0,O00 worth
of whisky has done one dollars
worth of good. The money being
drawn from all classes and boarded
by the whisky men, the most ex
tensive monopolies are formed
which are so dangerous to our free
institutions. Now the country il
$500, 100000 poorer, for the money
boarded up by the whisky men is
as much out of circulation and as
far from the reach of taxation as i
it were in Europe. If there were
no tariff the loss for one year coul,
not be greater than this. Supp
that free trade would stop all aou

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN
CORRESPONDENCE.
More Republican Indignation.

ED. FREEMAN: The two great
parties of the country have met,
nominated candidates and adopted
their platforms. One has declared
its absolute opposition to prohibito-
ry laws as interfering with the
personal liberty of the people"
which shows a determined inten-
ton to oppose everything in the
way of the temperance legislation
that every true temperance man
desires.
The other after declaring in ia
vor of temperance, morality and
purity of principles for the past 20
years, absolutely and utterly ig-
nores the question, and that, too,
after having the strongest possible
influences brought to bear upon its
Convention, asking it to sustain
its precepts by putting them in
practice.
Just SO with our State Conven-
tions. One party adopts the plat
form opposed to prohibitory legis-
lation without a dissenting voice.
The other voted down a resolution
favoring the right of the people to
vote on this question by a vote of
3 to [. One of the delegates is quo
ted as saying that these ITEM per
ance cranks and fanatics can 60 to
St. John, the Prohibition candi-
date" or, in other words, that tenn
perance men and voters are not
wanted in the ranks of this party
Both parties now stand on the
same ground. Both have been
weighed IN the balance and found
to gravitate decidedly in favor of
the saloon as compared to the
home. 1t is useless toexpect relief
from either Of the great parties,
Nationally or in the State relations.
Now, what is to be done?
The time has come when tenn
perance men are not tested by their
loud professions, but by their votes.
Let the men who believe in the
justice of the cause of Prohibition
vote for such men for the State leg
islature as will favor the submits
sion of the Amendment, and then
return to his constituency and Ia
Dor for its adoption.
Let the men who believe the
question of the prohibition of the
manufacture and sale as a beverage
of intoxicating liquors is the great
est and most vital principle in
volved in American politics to-day,
organize and roll up such vote for
Prohibition candidates as will
appall the two great saloon parties
of the country. If men could be
induced to vote their honest sen
timents the ticket could and should
poll $4,000 votes in this State.
Much as we may dislike to step
out of the ranks of the party in
which we were born and bred, yet
there is no other hope. A united,
organized, earnest effort to demolish
Fort Grog, backed by the parties
that have been insulting the intel
ligence Of the people too long, will
yet lay the foundation for the
great superstructure of Prohibition.
The Master is with the cause,
but prayer availeth nothing with
out work. Temperance amounts
to nothing withou. votes. Let the
Temperance voters grid on their
armors and get to work.

DEAR FREEMAN: In the great
Temperance Reform progressing in
our State, your circulation is
viewed by all the friends of the
cause as an important factor. Par
ty politicians do not like your in
dependent anti-party impartiality.
But that is certainly the true pol
icy. But how hard it is to secure
a fair, independent, Conscientious
vote at the polls against party in
huence.
The party puts the names of
their choice upon their ticket, and
woe he to the man that does not
stick to his party. This is most
formidable evil and calls loudly for
a remedy. In their primary con-
ventions the remedy is to be
sought. Here must be put for
ward the most BETTING men avail
able, who will make the will of
their constituents and the eleva-
ton of society in piety and morals,
supreme in all they do. Glove is the

this time l have made. my own living
out OF my law business. If that isn't
democratic patriotism where will you
go to find it. But there Is an end of
all things, and the end of my editorial
management of the Standard was alb
ruptly reached the other morning, when

saw a n1irage-afl exact representation
Of a poor house. took it as an omen,
warning, and resolved then and there
to quit before THAT mirage became re-
ality. As one result Of my editorial
connection with the Standard, I dis
tinctly announce that man can make
more money by killing himself than
he can BY running a newspaper from
patriotic motives. Patriotism is q
good thing but il don't pay. II ie like

The Harper Sentinel publishes ru-
NOR, concerning railroad movements,
that may be so, and may be not SO, as
follows: " The report is, that the San

but the result of the compromise is,
that both roads remain where they are
for some years and that Che contracts
for grading west of Harper have been
cancelled. How much or how little
truth there is in this we have no means
OF knowing. This much however is
known, that Supt. Barnes and seve raj
others arrived at Harper on special
and without stopping even to say how
dye do. went on to Kiowa, where they
