WHEN NEW CARDINALS WILL BE CREATED.
The Roman correspondent OF the Baltimore
CuthOiic Mirror writes that no new cardinals
will be created In the December consistory.
Several bish ops will be created, and IL Is likely
that some OF the cardinals who have not yet re-
ceived their red hats will be present on the oc-
casion. The new cardinals will be named In
the March consistory. The pope will then raise
to the dignity OF princes OF the church one or
two Americans, two or three French, two or
three Roman prelates and two Nuncios.

and progress of coal waves, it is impossible as
yet TO give set rules. One great difficulty is
found in the tact that even after decided cold
wave is observed in the extreme northwest, we
are not able to determine which one of the three
paths it will take. A fall of temperature OF 800
or 400 at Bismarck or at st. Paul, does not in
dictate q 'nOrther" in Texas; neither does a fall
of 300 or $50 at Leaven worth or st. Louis; nor
does similar fall at st. Paul or Chicago neces-
sarly bring acold wave to Washington. An
other great difficulty is that eight hours inter-
vene between observations at the signal service
stations and likewise between the report to the
office in Washington.

HOadIy Makes Love to the LID
uOr Vote too Late, after Sher-
man and Foraker have
the Marriage Contract
In their pocket.
And Republican Cannon are CeIebra-
ting the NuptiaIs.

The Ohio battle has been fought;
the smoke is clearing away, and
the Prohibition Army is rejoiced to
find itself leagues in advance Of all
former positions, and holding
stronger and more commanding
ground than ever before.
The latest returns we have, put
the vote for DIR. Leonard, Prohibi-
ton Candidate for Governor at
about 10000. This is more than
treble the last Prohibition vote for
Governor, and two and a half times
the vote for st. John last fall.
1t is significant that this immense
gain is made by the Prohibitionists
while the vote of both the old par
ties is greatly reduced; so that the
Prohibitionits are the only grow
ing party in Ohio.
From the beginning of the cam
paign it was manifest to observing
Prohibitionists that the Republi-
can bid tor the liquor vote had
been accepted and the contract
closed, SO that Mr.. Hoadly's love-
making to the saloons on the eve
of the election was at once humil-
iating and Ridiculous, and only
served to drive TEN perance DEM
ocrats to Leonard and hold Prohi-
bition Republicans to Foraker,
Foraker carries the State by
from $4,000 to 10000 plurality, and
the Republicans claim a majority
Of the Legislature on joint ballot,
which they say insures the re-elec-
ton of John Sherman to the United
States Senate.
PROHIBITION VOTE BY COUNTIES.
Following, we give DR.. Leonard's
vote in some of the counties as we
have been able to gather them.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Oct. II.
EDITOR FREEMAN:
For the enclosed send FREEMAN
on under your liberal offer, as [ do
not wish to miss any of the good
things it contains from week to
week.
I do not wish to make you feel
vain, but a remark comes to me
just now, made by an eminent lady
of Ohio, a few days ago, to the effect
that the WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN
ranks third among the Prohibition
papers of the United States. Here
is Maryland with not Prohibi-
ton paper in it! 1t is true one of
our citizens held the second place
on the National ticket last Fall,
but past honors will not supply
present necessities.
The FREEMAN is fighting a good
fight, and God grant the time may
soon come when the land shall be
freed from the curse of Rum.
Yours Truly,
JAMES A. HENRY
While "My Maryland" is with
out a live paper of her own, we
hope ali her earnest Temperance
sons and daughters will remember
that the FREEMAN is ready and
anxious to serve her faithfully and
to the best of its ability.

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

Conductor Lincoln Milton plead.
ed guilty last July to the charge of
embezzling sixty-six cents from the
Traction Company. Judge Biddle
yesterday sentenced him to one
years imprisonment.-P Philadelphia
Press.
What a blunder that conductor
made! Now if he had embezzled
sixty-six millions or even thous-
ands, the half of che stealings
would have saved him from the.
Penitentiary. Such is Law and
justice in shis country.
The Prohibition party has held
a convention in Maryland. 1t
seems this disease is to spread all
over, infieting every State. What
an era of soleration, the latter part
of the 10Th century is Estate, Jour-
nal.
The ''disease" has spread over
every state, and the remedy must
be as far-reaching and vigorous as
the disease. 1t certainly is remark
able that the Nineteeth Century
should tolerate such cancer as
the liquor traffic!
Some editors have villianous pol
1tles, but a more whole-souled,

Rev. G. G. Wilding Getting his
Rewards.

We have a note from our stall
wart Prohibition Brother, Rev. G. G.
Wilding, desiring that we shall in
our own well-known modest and
delicate way notice two incidents
that have moved his great big
heart to cry out for expression.
We have never yet found the
man that could tell a good thing
better than Bro. Wilding himself,
and shall not now undertake the
job ourself; so here's the note, just
as we get it:
DEAR FREEMAN: In your own
free and easy way, please note
these two items in the columns OF
our oaOn FREEMAN.
At the late session of the West
Virginia Conference, the bre thren
presented me with an overcoat, as
a testimonial of their appreciation
of my work as Conference Secretary
for seven years past.
Last night my people thronged
the parsonage to the number OF
200, to welcome me home from Con-
ference. We had a cheerful and
delightful evening, and when the
good people went home,they left us
$50 worth of substantials.
All we'll and happy. Always
glad to get the FREEMAN every Fri
day. Yours,
GEO. G.. WILDING.

Effigies and Monuments.

Fifty years ago Boston was the
scene of a mob directed against
William Lloyd Garrison, and he
narrowly escaped hanging, on &C
count of his abolition sentiments.
The same city has now appropria-
ted $4,000 for the erection of new
monument to his memory.-Bra1-
ton Central.
One year ago towns in New
York, Kansas and other States,
Were scenes of mobs directed
against St. John and other Tenn
perance leaders, and in many
places Prohibition speakers were
mobbed and burned in effigy. The
same spirit was manifested in
some instances against DR.. Leonard,
in the recent Ohio campaign.
Fifty years from now the descen-
dents of the leaders of these mobs
will be building monuments to the
memory of these brave pioneers in
the work of banishing the curse
and crime of the liquor traffic.
So it is, that monuments spring
u p out of the ashes of effigies.

Profit and Loss.

The success of prohibition would
take $100,O00,000 of revenue annu-
ally from the United States. To
make up the loss the amount would
have to be collected on property,
real and personal. A Demo-
cratic license will give protection
and continue this immense revenue.
Gin. Enquirer.
AS to the revenue, the Country
spends s9OO,0OO,00o annually in
cash to get the $100,OO0,000 revenue.
And because the proposed Demo
cratic license would give protec-
ton to the miserable, murderoats bus.
mess, the people of Ohio will have
none Of it. They have so often hurl-
ed the infamous proposition back
into the faces of corrupt and schem-
ing Legislators, that it is monstrous
insult to the decent people of Ohio
to mention license to them any
more.

| if it were not a matter of such SER
ious import,to note these prophetic
gyrations of political wiseacres at
all these seeming victories of wrong
over right in the march of great
reforms.
We cannot now enumerate the
times these political undertakers,
stuffed with spoils and quaint as to
morals, have carted Prohibition
away and buried it! 1t would
seem that this sort of continuous
resurrection and burial business
would after while become some
what monotonous, and yet they are
always ready with cart and spade,
at the end of every contest, to bury
Prohibition and eliminate 1t from
politics.
LET DIR. LEONARD AND THE PROHI-
BITIoN COMMITTEE ANSWER.
For the present, let DR.. Leonard
ard the Committee answer the state
ments that the cause is set back,
and Prohibition "eliminated" from
Ohio politics:
SPRINGFIELD, O., Oct. 14.-The
vote for Prohibition will probably
not fall below thirty thousand. We
will reorganize our forces and con-
tinue the battle. The new Prohi-
bition campaign begins to day in
Ohio. Prohibitionists are jubilant
over the advance they have made.
We send greetings to the Prohibi-
tionists of New York and express
the hope they may make even
larger advance upon the st. John
vote Of last year than has been
made in Ohio.
A. B. LEONARD,
Pro. candidate for Governor.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Oct. 14.-Prohi-
bition has gained victory in Ohio.
DIR. Leonard's vote will be from
10000 to IS 900.
This gain is all solid, being made
in the face of the bitterest and
most unrelenting opposition.
Prohibitionists are justly rejoic-
ing, and are greatly encouraged.
We renew our fight at once, to-day,
and with an army threefold larger
than we had eleven months ago,
and a good organization through
out the State. Something is going
to happen before long. Forward,
all along the Incl
The Republicans have elected
Foraker, and most probably the
Legislature, and are declaring that
the Prohibition party is at an end.
This means that the rum power
has triumphed and Prohibitionists
need expect no favors. Such a
victory is a boom for Prohibition.
The lines will soon be drawn. The
Prohibition vote drew more largely
from the Democrats than from the
Republicans, and the charge of
being a Democratic Aid Society
is forever refuted.

The Prohibition Ticket was the
only one in Ohio that showed any
increase over the Presidential vote
last Fall, and it more than doubled
the vote for ST. John. And so the
cause must be hopelessly "set back"
again.
