THE LIQUOR CRIME.

hands of the very law-breakers
whom they are elected and paid to
arrest, prosecute and punish. And
all this because the liquor traffic
has money, controls votes and
makes the dominant party its
cowardly servant.
And here is the trouble that the
people are just now setting
about to correct, in downright
earnest. They demand that
prohibition laws shall have
prohibition party behind
them and that prohibition officers
shall go fearlessly and faithfully
forward in their enforcement.
Then if "Prohibition don't prohi-
bit" Prohibitionists must bear the
blame, and not till then.
In speaking above, We refer to
the demand for prohibition party
to enact and enforce prohibitory
laws, not as meaning the "Third
party" or any other particular
organization, but we are simply
stating the general fact of the
general and rapidly growing de-
mand for party in favor of a
prohibition policy with vigorous
prohibition practice, let it come
or 60 by what name it may.
This may be set down as the
political axiom of these times
The saloon must go, and there must
be party to MAKE 1T GO.

God Help the Babies.

There was big and blasphemous
mistake committed at the recent
Liquor League banquet at Harris
vile, Pa.
1t was at the meeting of the
Pennsylvania State Liquor League,
and the city of Huntsville with
Mayor and Judges and Councilmen
were serving a royal banquet to
these poison peddlers, these home
destroyers and open enemies of the
"Ladies and the Babies" OF every
happy circle.
Among the toasts to which the
jewellers drank were these; "Our
Organization" and "The Ladies
and the Babies, God bless them"
Surely here was most fragrant
and blasphemous mistake for these
carousing saloonites to make,
The toast should have read, Our
Organization-The Ladies and The
Babies, God help them!
O, the dastardy insult to pure
womanhood, and the cruel mockery
in the pleading face Of innocent
babyhood, for set of lawless,
heartless, pitiless, constituencies
liquor mongers, amid the vulgar
tiles of a saloon banquet and the
clashing of beer glasses, to thus
handy compliments to the queens
Of our homes they are dragging
from their thrones, and thus to
blast precious home jewels of spot
less childhood with the viperous
kiss of the internal traffic! God
help and save the women and the
babies from the blasphemous
compliments as well as from the
curses of the saloon!
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1885-12-16
Christmas, Whisky, Gospel.

What queer ideas of mixing
things some editors have anyhow
Here are three items we find
ssndwiched together in a local COL
umn of the Huntington Argus!
"If you want to buya nice Christ
mas present, 60 to Dutson's Jewel
ry Store"
Good liquor by the quart or gal
lon for all who want it, at IS
saloon"
The Baptist church commenc-
ed series of meetings last Monday
night"
We presume the Argus means to
say to its patrons-Here are these
three, Christmas, Whisky and
the Gospel-we commend them all
alike; "you pays your money and
you take your choice"
The Argus is impartial it ex-
presses no preference.

DAY EVE, DEC. %.
Gazette Got it Again.

The Commercial Gazette has fresh
attack of Prohibi-phobia, brought
on by the "cold water" wave from
Georgia. 1t RACES with the rabies
through two columns of antl-Prohi-
bition nonsense in last Saturdays
issue, and yet we dare say the edi-
tor is ready to take his solemn oath
that Prohibition is not question
before the people and has nothing
in the world to do with politics.
O, yes: Now we come to think
Of it, it is exclusively moral ques-
ton, and that's why such "high
moral" journal as the Commercial
Gazette discusses it at such great
length. Verify have we fallen on
queer times, when such eminent di-
vines as DR.. Howard Crosby preach
"mo1eration," in sin, and such beer
organs as the Commercial Gazette
and Enquirer advise the Church
and Pulpit as to their duties in the
Temperance Reform.

THE LIQUOR CRIME.
The Presidents Message.

In his first Annual Message, as
in all other matters, the President
has shown a will and way of his
own. The message goes lengthily
into Governmental affairs and deals
vigorously with such matters as
seem to need heroic treatment, and
has the rare merit of not pleasing
the partisan politicians.
The President reiterates the
strong ground taken on Civil
Service, in his original letter of &C
ceptance, urges firm and faithful
execution of the laws against Polyg-
amy and the prohibition Of Mormon
immigration, Gays we have ''silver
dollars" plenty, recommends the
protection of the coast, &C., &c,
In a document of marvellous
length, the President gives Con-
gress a vast amount of valuable
information pertinent to the condi-
ton, needs and management of
Uncle Sans Big Farm.
1t would take more than a whole
FREEMAN to hold all this first
Democratic Message from theWhite
House the people Of the United
States have had for quarter of a
century. Suffice it to say, the
message is highly commended by
the ablest political journals Of all
parties, and is most criticized by
Democratic politicians whose loft
lest idea Of Craftsmanship is en-
bodied in the old partisan axiom,
$40 the v5ctors belong the spoils."

The Money King Abdicates.

VIM. III. Vanderbilt, the wealth.
lest man in the land, died su dden-
ly, last Wednesday, while convers-
ing in his residence with Mr.. Rob-
ert Garrett, President of the B. &
O. R. R.
Without a moments warning,
he fell forward and was caught by
Mr.. Garrett. And without speak
ing a word he was dead in few
minutes. Death was caused by
the rupture of blood vessel in the
brain.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's wealth is esti-
mated at from s175, OOO,O 900 to 5000,
100000. Of this vast fortune he
bequeaths by will, several million
to charitable purposes, endowing
Vanderbilt University at Nash
vile, with 100000.

Revenue From Crime.-A Cheap.
er Way to Get it.

The Phila. Press has labored
editorial in favor of High License,
for the sake of the revenue. 1t es-
Inmates that a license fee of $500
would bring not less than
s. 100000 into the now hungry
Golfers Of the City of Brotherly
Love.
We seriously and respectfully
suggest, if it be simply matter of
revenue, and the city must have
it, that the Mayor and Council can
save much time and cost of collect
ing, by simply hiring a squad of
dyo@miters to slip out some night,
bow up a half-dozen banks, and
fetch in the revenue, one or two
millions of it, as the necessity of
the case may demand.
This would seem little rough,
at first thought, because a little out
Of the regular order, but it would
cost infinitely less of trouble, sorrow
wretchedness and woe, than to col
lect it the other way, from the pit
liable families of the wretched
druEkards of the city.
