Death of Nathan Golf, Sr.

Nathan Golf, Sr, uncle of Hon.
Nathan Golf, member of Congress,
died at his residence in Ciarksburg,
last Friday. Nov. 81, at the advanc.
ed age of 81 years.
Mr.. Golf was for many years an
honored and successful business
citizen of Monongalia and Harris
on Counties, accommodating a large
fortune. He was al active mem
Der of the NJ. E. Church, and for a
long time the liberal treasurer of
the Harrison County Bible Society.
Golf Chapel stands as an eloquent
monument to his liberality in sup
port of the Gospel.
The first name on one of the first
petitions to the Legislature for the
submission of the Prohibition
Amendment was the autograph of
n. Golf, ST., in bold. heavy charact-
ers, stretching nearly across the
page. This we are glad to know
is on file in the archives of West
Virginia, as Mr.. Golf s eternal pro-
test against the curse and iniquity
of the American Saloon. The fun
eral services, on Sunday afternoon,
were in charge of tho |. O. o, F.
and were largely attended by the
citizens of Clarksburg and the sur
rounding communities.

FROM ATLANTA.
HalStead Learns Something.

ED. FREEMAN:
The Cincinnati Commercial Gaz-
cite, of Nov. 9th, editorially calls
attention to several points in con-
nection with the Local Option cleo
ton in Atlanta, last week.
Among other declarations num-
bering from l up to Z the Com.
Gazette has the following:
l. The Ohio election in October
made known that the principle of
prohibition has IL hold upon the
Democratic voters that no politi.
clan of that party can afford to de-
spise.
5. The storming of Atlanta will
add force to the temperance cause,
and will direct it into new chan
nels-that is new to US in Ohio"
At all events, Mr.. Halstead has
at last learned one thing, which he
has for years been denying with
mulish persistence. He says:
6. "It is a pretty,general convic-
ton that prohibition prohibits
where there is prohibition ma
jority of the people, and does not
prohibit anywhere else. Therefore
prohibition is one way of putting
local option.
7. The temperance agitations
and assaults will follow the Atlanta
example. They will be kept
scrupulously out of partyism, and
each community must fight its own
battles"
"Will be kept scrupulously out
of partyism" is good. If the cleo
tons where whisky is all on one
side and sobriety on the other, as at
Atlanta, is no partyism, and the
elections in Cincinnati, where both
the great parties are striving to
see which can do the most for whis-
ky, is political, the people will not
be long in choosing Prohibition,
call it what you may. This will
remove the great curse of political
corruption, so strongly denounced
by the Com. Gazette.

Significant Terms.

In the battles between the Home
and the Saloon, in the South, the
Prohibitionists are everywhere
known as the "Drys" and the
liquor advocates as the "Wets."
The terms are significant in more
than one particular.
The one party seeks to dry the
tears OF heart.broken women and
wailing children, while the other
would drench the communities
with debauchery and blood and for
ever keep the eyes of the suffering
net with weeping.

For instance, what Texan needs 10 be

Dick Hubbard that "he is not only as
Wild and uncouth as the average Conan.
che Indian, but 20 have an enormons
vanity" Who that is acquainted Win
the Demosthenes Of Texas would can

for uncouthness, nobody is further from

superintendent, as affablc as a candidate
as courteous as hired man, as polite az
dancing master. Some vanity he NAV
have; what great man is without itY
But he didn't carry all the vanity out Of
Texas when he sailed for Japan.
The further charge OF boorlsh ignorance
Is equally lnapplicable. The elegance of

BIllingsgate Why, Dick Hubbard
couldn't act the clown II he tried. The
Chcvalier Bayard of history could as
easily be convicted OF lack OF gentility
as the people Of Texas could be made to
believe that Dick Hubbard has been
guilty Of rudeness.
The "boys' here at home, who are &c.
customed to address him as ''Dick,n viii
smile knowing smile at the reading of
that part Of the SANDER which represents
him as "inslsting on being addressed at
all times as governor" Doubtless he
was often digni1ed by the title of ''goy-
eruor,n but that is familiar epithet here
it Texas, along with colonel and major,
and nobody thought any the less OF him
for being so called.
But this is enough. There is no need
to point out any more OF the ridiculous
absurdties OF this most absurd article.
1t carries the blush Of shame upon It's
