BROTHER EDITOR :

BROTHER EDITOR:
The Freeman of this week reach
ed me last night, and grand issue
it is. Twenty-eight and a half col
umns of solid reading matter for a
dollar a year, is certainly cheap
enough.
And yet there are doubtless some
"sore-heads" who will read this is
sue and growl because it contains
no more news. If more West Vir-
ginia professed Temperance people
read the Freeman, there would be
less ignorance amongst them re-
speeding the Prohibition question.
Disgusting it is to hear partisan
demagogues of the old schools ,criti-
cising men of integrity and Chris
tan character, and wanting to die
tate how they shall vote to secure
Prohibition most speedily.

folly to be wise"

Maryland Matters.
THE ANNAPOLIS REPULSE,
The Devils Dodge in Maryland's
Capital.
Albeit, the Saloon Must Coz

Some good friend sends US batch
of clippings from Annapolis pa
pers, containing facts and discus
sions of the late Local Option cam
paign in Maryland's saloon cursed
Capital.
We have looked over these pa
pers with especial interest, to sat
isfy ourself as to the cause of the
remarkable change of vote from a
large majority for Prob ibition two
years ago, back to large majority
for licensed devilment, at the re-
cent election.
To anyone, acquainted with the
facts, the change at the ballot-box
was no surprise.
In Annapolis it was simply Sa-
tan's old game played over again !;
and the misfortune was that Mary
lands laws, at least as interpreted
by Maryland'8 Judges, were such as
to protect the Devil in his diabol
ical schemes to thwart and defy the
will OF the good people.
Wherever Prohibition is tempo
rarily adopted in any city of con-
siderable size, it is the first business
of the outlawed liquor dealers, to
make the new order of things as OBJ
noxious as possible, and by every
device known to devilish cunning,
they evade, defy and resist al law
and decency, to make drinking and
drunkenness public and notorious,
just to show that they will sell
anyhow" and that "you can't pro-
hibit.7
All this, Of course, to change the
opinions Of that large class of Yo-
tiers, (Alas, many Of them in the
church , who have no convictions
on this hideous crime, above the
question of expediency.
In working political revolutions
of this sort, the CLUB ru8e is one
Of the Devils trusted resorts, and
in Annapolis the conditions seemed
most favorable for him to play it
most successfully.
In short time large number of
saloons became headquarters for as
many incorporated "Clubs," or so
cieties," whose mem bers, when
brought into court to testify as to
sales of liquors, refused to answer
on the ground that they could not
be compelled to eliminate them
selves. 1t mattered not to these
young bIoods," dudes" or con-
spirators Of any other name or
type, that by this refusal they
stood before the community as con-
fessed criminals. They were will
ing to besmirch their own reputa-
ton, if they had any, to shield the
liquor-seIling criminals.
In this defiant position they were
upheld by the courts, and SO the
popular verdict of Annapolis was
defed and set at naught, and the
public will trampled under the
feet of these liquor-peddling out
laws.
Appeal was made TO the Legis-
lature tor legislation to enable the
officers to reach these law-defers,
but instead of the egg asked for,
the people got the serpent Of "re-
submission" which these liquor
men had warmed into life for this
special occasion.
With the question re-submitted
at such time and under such ad-

EDITOR HERALD; notice you hit us,

the side Of the railroad, not show ours'
You predicted last fall that we would
lose our land, and we have. have lost
four acres up to yesterday at noon, and
think have lost the remaining two
acres by this time. But as for asking
for one dollar for the right Of way along
the river bank, it is not true. as you can
learn by calling on the attorney for the
railroad, Judge Bicknell, or John
Shearer, on the Jeh White place.
While viewing the river line through
with these men and the man that York
hit, we, the property owners, onereu
the s. G.. v. r. X. the right OF way
along the river line free gratis, and feel

RIGHT Of way and two hundred dollars
to build the road there. Little did l

was catching at straw, for slasl where

sue them for damage, for while the
tramps and wreckers gather up the

premises they disturb my fish. But
since / save the two hundred dollars

have nothing more now to lose, and as
have got the name Of charging for the

The Mexican Typica, Orchestra

The Mexican Typical Orchestra.
Owing TO the washout on the railroad
the Mexican Musicians were unable fo
appear last night as advertised. They
will perform tomorrow night without
fail. In speaking Of the performance
The Public, Evansville, Ind, April 9th,
says:
The unusually Intelligent and critical
audience that assembled at the Opers
House last night to hear the Mexican
Orchestra, were afforded grand treat.
There has been nothing to compare with
this orchestra ever heard in Evansville.
II is the perfection Of melody. with all
its lights and shades. The writer can
not find words to describe the beauty Of
the music made by these typical Mexi-
cans. The playing on the violin by
Senior A. Figueroa set the audience al.
most wild With delight. He had to play
q double encore. Those who have heard
Wilhemj, Ole Bull or Reminiji, will
probably say they would rather hear
senor Figuerca. Not sheet Of music Il
used by the orchestra, but under the
leadership Of Senor Curt they give the
numbers in the most perfect time, de
scending from the heaviest forte to the
softest pisnissimo with q smoothness
and sweetness that can only be appre.
ciated by those who heard them, The
applause was hearty and spontaneous
throughout.
