evening of last week by family whose
name have forgotten. There was no
admission fee charged, but the hat was
passed around afterward and gathered
in creditable fee. Martinsburg audien-

given on the go-as.you- please principle,
that they could afford to be generous.

FREEMAN,
Parkersburg, W. Va

The Wayne Advocate copies a re-
cent editorial on Lottery Advertis-
ing from the FREEMAN, and pro-
ceeds to enlarge in the following
pertinent and vigorous manner, to-
wit:
eve have for some time advoca-
ted the exclusion from the mails of
all papers which publish such adj
vertisements. 1t is the only way
to prevent this systematic robbery.
We apprehend but few of the edit
ors of this State would engage in
theLottery business for a livelihood,
yet they are doing more to swindle
and defraud our people than all the
agents combined. Our laws pro-
hibit the buying or selling of lot
terry tickets, and adds that any
person who "shall for himself or
another person aid IN selling, ex-
changing, negotiating or transferr-
ing ticket" in a lottery, he shall
be confined in Jail not more than
one year, and fined not exceeding
five hundred dollars" Does not ev-
cry publisher who puts forth an ad:
vertisement showing the price of
tickets in lottery, and where they
can be procured, aid another person
in selling such tickets?
1t seems to US that if this matter
was called to the attention of an in.
telligent Grand Jury, the probable
ity is very strong that a feao of the
pu blishers in this State might be
under the necessity Of employing a
lawyer to defend them in criminal
prosecution"

A Boys Trick in NUtting.

The brown nuts are falling, auG the
boys are "hot-foot" for them, so we
will tell them trick which we Learn =
ed last year. bat to late to tell it to
our young readers. We noticed, day
after day, two boys going to the
woods, carrying bag and clothes
line, and saw them return in short
time with the bag wei! flied. We
followed, to see whether their good
luck was due to accident, activity, or
their wits. They used the line in
this Way-se'ecting a tree in the
ODen, on which the nuts warp ripe
and the shucGs opened by frost; they
shook the tree by climbing into it,
and shaking and jarring the branches
lin the usual way, by stamping aud
clubbing. Sill the finest nuts seem
to stick to UutermoSt branches. TO
get these, was stroke of genius, and
the clothes line and little "mothpr-
witt were brought into play. The
boy in the tree threw the line over
promising branch, so that both ends
reached the ground. The boy on the
ground made one end fast to a san.
ling at suitable distance, and then
drawing the other end as taut as yos-
sible, made it also fast around the
trunk of a small tree. He tuggpd at
the line after fastening ii, ana then
took up the slack. The bough, of
course, was sWayed down, Then he
tugged and tugged, and took up the
slack again, until the line was almost
as taut as bow string. Then he
beat the line with a club, as hard as
he could strike, and with each clip,
down came the nuts. Finally ne un.
fastened one end, and drew it off
with some difficulty, to be sure,
over the end OF the branch, sweeping
off a lot Of nuts that s.ill held on.
Thus the principal branches were
stripped. They were lively hoyS and
did very little loafing, but their on
ergy WAS pretty we'll rcuaid.-AA1er- .

Prohibition in Politics.

Bishop S.. M. Merrill has been an
active worker in the Temperance
cause for the past forty years, In a
letter to the Chicago Inter Ocean he
contributed, some interesting and
practical views upon the relation OF
the temperance question in politics
He cites the anti slavery agitation,
which. he justly claims, retarded
rather than accelerated emancipation
He argues that organized prohibit
ton is likewise more harmful than
beneficial to the temperance cause.
The temperance question is one that
appeals not to the prejudices or the
passions of people, but rather to their
common sense. 1t should not and
cannot nationally have place in pol
itics. There is no need of a separate
party to vindicate its merits or to
force it upon public attention. As
Bishop Merrill well says:
constitutional provisions should
never be made the basis of party or.
CARNATIONS. The organic law of the
State and the nation ought to have
the support Ofthe patriotic citizens in
all parties. The only way to secure
this end is to avoid thrustino plat.
forms into the constitution. Prohi-
bltion of the liquor traffic cannot be
permanent till it is in the constitution
and it cannot 60 into the constitution
as party measure. 1t is too broad
for party. Like the fundamental
principles of the government, it must
be the common ground of the better
classes and parties; like the common
school system, it touches interests too
vital to the common veal TO be made
the football of politicians. Parties
divide on interpretations of the con-
stitution, not on the constitution It.
self. interpretations form politics
and party issues relate to politics.
This is the legitimate battle. ground
OF politics. But there is realism of
principle beyond the conflicts of par
ties where the moral character of the
government rests upon the founda-
ton of right-where the enduring ell
ements of Christian civilization crys-
tallize in organic law and to that
broader realm of essential right this
question of prohibition must come"
In other words, however desirable
the bringing our people to the pur.
suit of temperance may be, it is not
to be effected by statutory enact
ments. 1t is to be effected in the
same way that other moral reforms
are worked. The friends of temper |
ance make the greatest mistake when
they essay to make the question a
political issue.
