the street was full of life,

of people were passing to and

going into and coming out
of shop doors. Cabs and
omnibuses were driving quick
ly up and down the road.
Dogs were barking, boys
were shouting. The air was
filled with the usual noises of

now? From where | stood,
a short distance only from
the Lonsdale-street corner,
down to the railway station
at the end of the street, not
a soul was to be seen. The
rapid, ever-fowing stream of

as though it had never been.

to its utmost stretch, but
could see nothing. The
empty road, the cleared pave

were alone before me. The |
tramp of the vast crowd grew
more distinct, the music burst
clearer and louder upon my
ear. | could make out now
the strain that was being
played by these mysterious
musicians, The rhythm was
not that of a funeral march,
and yet it irresistibly sug-
gested that a funeral process
sion was passing along the
street. The measure was
vague and indefinite, but
indescribably solemn and
mournful. A deep, slow,
dirge-like strain would now
and again give way to a burst
of wild wailing, as though
the hearts of the mouners
were rent with unutterable
woe. There were only these
two motifs, one expressive of
a sharp, piercing grief, the
other the resignation of a
deep subdued despair. But
the music was ever changing
in scale, and key, and har-
monte colouring. The tones
of the instruments, though
with some resemblance, were
| yet unlike those produced by
any human orchestra. Never
had | heard strains so thrill

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

We are of the opinion that the
only way in which to control the
whisky business is to adopt the
high license system. Where all
attempts at Prohibition have ut
terly failed this system has been
tried with success West Va. Ar
gus.
That is very silly opinion bas-
ed on false testimony, if based on
anything. Will the Argus name
one instance where high license
or any other license was ever tried
with success? The very idea is
ridiculous, that to license curse
is to suppress or control or even
mitigate it.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1884-12-24
Stereotyped Nonsense.

The Kingwood Argus seems to
be the only paper in the
State that now has the hardihood
to oppose the Submission of the
Amendment. Of course the Argus
submits no argument on that side.
The only possible reason on that
side is the reason that the whis-
ky men don't want it submitted
and that is no reason at all. Of
course the Argus closes its editorial

Another Practical Response.

Hon. Horace Waters of New
York, whose Temperance faith has
been known by his works, for a
half century, throughout the entire
land, sends US check for $40, say
ing "Send the FREEMAN for six
months to twenty ministers in
West Virginia who are not taking
it and who did not vote for St.
John"
Our readers will remember that
Mr.. Waters is the author Of the no.
ted "Third Party" tract published
several years ago, and which has
had such a wonderfully wide circu-
lation, and which appeared in the
FREEMAN a few months ago.
1t is because of such friends as
Horace Waters,the church and the
Home have not been utterly des-
poiled by the infamous liquor curse
long ago.

Strengthen the Stakes.

The best evidence of the tenn
per and purpose of Temperance
leaders and followers is the prompt
ness with which they resolve and
act in reference to the perpetulty
and usefulness of Temperance pa
pers.
Immediately after the election
and while many were crying out
that "Prohibition" was dead and
many were preaching its funeral!
the Temperance Union of Indiana
met and refunded the Monitor
Journal, henceforth to be called
The Constitution. For this pur-
pose $4,000 was to be raised at
once, $1,000 of which was sub
scribcd on the spot.
So was it with our Pennsylvania
allies, who have recently put the
"Prohibition Banner" on a sound
financial basis, for which purpose
Allegheny county alone raised
$1,000.
The way to do thing is to do it,
and we are rejoiced to see that de-
voted friends of the cause in a num-
Der of States have a mind to do it.
And we are glad to note also, on
this line, that The Voice, published
by Funk & Wagnalls, of New York,
during the late campaign, is to be
contin led permanently. The first
number Of the new series was is
sued yesterday, December %,
If Prohibition is dead, there
seems to be general preparation
for prolonged and queer sort of a
funeral.
The truth of the matter is, that
the late passing through tie storm
has set all true friends to strength
ening the stakes everywhere.
So must it be in our own beloved
State of West Virginia. Let every
real Prohibitionist now step
promptly to the front and be
counted by the work he or she i:
willing to do.

FREEMAN ten new subscribers (see

two or more subscribers. Circulate

WEDNESDAY, DEC. "a, 1884.
D0est Thou Well to be Angry?

Jonah was desperately mad be-
cause things did not 60 to suit him
at Ninevah. He was angry with
the ways of Providence, wished
that he was dead, and probably
threatened never to preach any
more in the cause of righteousness.
He thought the circumstances JUS
titled him in giving vent to his
wrath and going into the sulks.
But the patient Lord quietly asked
him if he thought he was behaving
himself wisely.
"Doest thou well to be angry ?"
And we may well imagine that
after his experience with the gourd
vine and little calm reflection, the
good Prophet became heartily
ashamed of himself If opportuni-
ty had offered he would doubtless
have swallowed himself with an
other whale. Indications are not
wanting that the Jonahs are not
all dead yet. There are people who
are desperately angry because the
Lord didn't override things so as
to secure the election of Mr.. Blaine !;
and as they do not like to hold
Providence directly responsible,
they are venting their wrath on
& ST John and his supporters as the
main cause Of their discontinue,
They feel perfectly justifable in
deserting the cause Of Prohibition,
and heaping all manner of abuse
upon the heads Of its most promi-
nent and efficient leaders. 1t
would be well for each of them to
ponder this same question that
came to Jonah, "Does't thou well
to be angry ?"
They say that the st. John Pro-
hibitionists have put the whisky
party in power; that they could
have elected Blaine if they had all
"'stuck to their party But these
Pruhibitionists regarded both of the
old parties as in league with
the liquor traffic, and preferred to
choose neither of two evils, when
by another course they believed
they might give an impulse to q
great good,
But will the Democratic party
favor whisky any more than the
Republican party has done. or woulc
do? The Republicans say the
party will be controlled by the
Solid South. If so it is we'll, so fal

gla, Maryland, Kentucky ana other
Southern States, they would not
have lost the presidency. 1t is
| true the National Democratic par
ty pat a whisky plank in its plat
form. 1t did that to catch the
Northern whisky vote, while the
Republican party simply kept
still in hopes Of saving its whisky
vote without alternating that OF the
Prohibitionists. Everybody knows
that the Germans, the strongest
liquor element in the Country, have
been identified with the Republi-
can party, and that the Democratic
plank was to catch Republican
votes rather than to express the
sentiments of the mass of the par
ty on the liquor question. Take
the country over and there is just
bout as much temperance senti-
ment in one of these old parties as
in the other. There are thus no
grounds for anger on account OF
injury done to the Temperance
cause. 1t remains to be seen
whether any other good cause will
be injured by the change of par
ties.
Is it we'll to be angry with the
New York Prohibitionists who it
is claimed are more directly re-
sponsible for the Republican de-
feat? That party had promised to
submit Prohibitory Amendment
to the people. 1t refused to redeem
its pledge. 1t gave the Prohibi-
tionists just cause for complaint.
Are they to blame for DESERVING
the party that deserted them? Is
it we'll to be angry with people for
resenting when slapped III the face?
If it be a fact that these Prohibi-
tionists have succeeded in chastis-
ing their party, the consequent
wrath is natural but not justi6able.
"Now no Christening for the pres
ent seemeth to be joyous but griev-
GUS; but afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruits of righteousness to
them that are exercised thereby"
Would it not be well to stop cry
ing and think awhile. "Cease
from anger and forsake wrath fret
not myself in anywise to do evil"
1t would be well also for these
angry friends to consider the ad
vice of Gamaliel: "Refraim from
these men and let them atone } for #
this counsel or this cork be of men, 1t
aoiU come to maught; but If 1t be of
God, ye cannot overthrow 1t J, lest hap
ly ye be found even to fight against
God."
The Prohibition vote was large
ly, if not wholly, the result Of pray
ing and preaching Temperance.
Papers like the New York Tribune,
knew that preaching Temperance
would make straight out prohibi
tionists and SO they ceased to
preach 1t during the Campaign.
Many ministers of the gospel, would
neither preach nor pray Temper
ance in public during the cam
paign, lest direct appeal thus to
conscience might make votes for
st. John. There was everywhere
a tacit recognition of the fact, that
the more men were brought face to
face with the great question of Tenn
perance and their God, the more
likely were they to vote direct for
Prohibition. A fight against con-
scientious convictions thus pro-
duccd is fight against God?
