SINCE Elder w. M. Healey com
menced his tent meetings in Honolulu
the PRESS has allowed him, or his rep
resentatives, between three and four
columns of space to place some Of
their views before the public. AT last
an article was handed in for publica-
tion which treated OF the political con-
dtions Of the United States being a
fulhllment Of prophecy. We published
the article and in an editorial note said
we considered "such an application
Of Scripture not only illogical but fool
ish." We did not enter into a discuss
ion Of the matter as we did not think
it proper to waste space in showing
that an argument whose premise is
founded on probabilities, and whose
middle term consists Of an opinion, will
not warrant positive conclusion OF
any kind. Such an argument is not only
illogical but seems exceedingly foolish
to some people, and we are among the
number Elder Healey then called
upon US. We told him we had only
used our rightto comment upon pub
lie matters and that we refused to enter
into any religious controversy in regard
TO the mattsr For the same reason
we should politely refuse the publica-
ton Of any matter that any minister Of
the Gospel might offer us that would
raise a religious controversy Our wis

HeaIey makes Of private interview in
saying that "the Press disappeared
from the domain Of religious contro-
vsrsy as suddenly as he had entered
it" The fact is, as Elder Healey
knew, that the PRESS positively re-

refuse.

There is a growing sentiment in

We shall try to meet the ques-

bitterness or vituperation. We be-
lieve that the people have the
right to control this-that in
prohibiting it, no principle is in

present law. Let US then meet
the issue by showing the moral
evils flowing from the traffic, the
social vice and suffering it begets,

Prohibition Money.

The great need of the day is more
Prohibition money with which to
procure and scatter more Prohibi-
ton seed. The soil has been well
prepared by the faithful work al
ready done, and if We can only
have the proper seed-sowing, the
harvest will be assured.
We are glad to note in last week
Voice that the needed Prohibition
money is coming forward to assist
our National organ in sowing the
seed Nation wide.
One gentleman hands the editor
of The Voice 800, saying, Scatter
the paper where it will do most
good Another friend sends 500
to pay for The Voice to Congress
men. A Manufacture" sends
500, to send The Voice to clergy
men, &c.
This is surely and decidedly
much the best way of investing
money in the cause of Prohibition.
One thousand dollars spent in cir
culating good Prohibition news
papers, will make more Prohibi-
ton votes, close more saloons, and
relieve more suffering, than $10,-
600 spent in any other Temperance
work.
To secure the Prohibition har-
vest in West Virginia, who will
help scatter the FREEMAN among
the people?

WEDNESDAY, MAR, "a, 1885,
The Law INDICATED.

Ford and Murphy, who were
sentenced to death in New Orleans
for the murder of Captain Murphy,
Superintendent of the City Work
house, were hung on the 18th inst.
They had tried to commit suicide
by taking belladonna, the night
before, and were hung in an IN
conscious and apparently in life
less condition.-EG.
In the case of these two crimi-
nails there was desperate struggle
to prevent the laws vindication.
The murderers were men of stand
ing and political influence, and re-
lied on their ability to escape pun
ishment. But the taking of life
had become so frequent in New
Orleans that the people demanded
an example, and now that the law
has been vindicated, citizens will
rest more secure, and much blood
shed and violence will be averted
by the wholesome example.

License the Pirate.
A Novel Plan for Abating a Nuisance

Stringtown, opposite Sistersville,
has become such nuisance to
Sistersville by reason of the sale of
intoxicating drinks, that some of
the people of Sistersville think Of
trying to abate the nuisance by
granting license in Sistersville. 1t
is always the case, when you refuse
license on this side of the river,
some piratical concern will open on
the other bank. For that reason
many persons who do not want to
favor license, do so nevertheless
Wetzel Democrat.
There's truth in the above; and
pity It's tits true. But what of the
remedy proposed? Because Cpl
ratical concerns" open out on the
opposite bank of the river, shall
we give the pirates free ferriage
over the river and give them legal
carte blanche to carry on their pi-
racies in front of our own homes ?
Saloons are "piratical concerns
wherever and whenever you find
them, and that's why we startled
the Democrat with the recent dec
laration that License is treason. 1t
certainly Is treason to license pi-
rates to prey on ones own country.
At the same time is suicide. Thus
are we lead to a stronger anath.
ema, License is reasonable suicide.

them, more than sufficed to save

MILLIONS FOR BILLIONS.
The State Standards Arithmetic.
Figuring on, the Black Diamond RaaI-
Road-Jf millions are Asked,
Many Millions are Assured
in Return.

Inc STATE StGnGGTG OF laSC Weeh
INDUCED in some arithmetrical ev-
olutions on the matter of the Syn
dicate's proposition to build the
Black Diamond Railroad that were
marvellous in their results; and if
the editor can verify his conclu-
sions before an inquiring world,
the FREEMAN will at once agree to
have cars running from Parkers-
burg to Norfolk in twelve month.
The Syndicate offers to build the
road if 100000 acres of land be do
mated, and the counties through
which the road passes will vote
and issue bonds in aid Of the enter
prise to the amount of 100000.
The Standard admits that the
100000 asked is reasonable, but
proceeds to figure out the value of
the 100000 acres of land as follows:
Timber value of the land...............S2,5O 100000
Surface $4,000
Coal value at &c per bushel royalty
for coal Jos, 625 900
But the Standard is generous
with its arithmetic, and deducts
about : of the coal value, and
makes it s524,9O5, $50
which, added to the surface and
timber values, make a grand total
value Of
The land asked, $528,905, 250
Less cost Of road, 100000
And the Standard holds up the
balance of over $50O,0OO,000 as
pocket money for the R. R. CYAN
derbilts."
O, that the Standards figures
were not extravagant! There are
many times 100000 acres of coal
and timber lands along the line of
the proposed road, that are now
wholly inaccessible, and whose
marketable value would be
doubled, trebled and quadrupled
with the first echoing of the rail-
road engine whistle through their
unbroken forests and against the
hills interlaid with unopened ten
feet coal veins.
Now, suppose Eastern capitalists
who own many hundred thousands
of acres of these lands, should give
even one-half of them to bring the
other half into market, at the
Standards estimated values-how
the millions and BILLIONS would in
deed flow into the Golfers of these
capitalists at once!
But, then, all lands along the
line would advance in value alike,
all kinds of business and property
would take on the marvellous
"boom," and while these Eastern
capitalists were receiving their
millions, they would start rivers of
wealth through all these rich re-
gions, from which every hardy
mountaineer within many miles of
the line, would be able to gather
thrift and competence.
Yes, let even the Standards mil
lions be given, if thereby our State
can get back many times many
millions, of which Parkersbarg
would be sure of at least few of
the odd millions, used as fractions
in computing the immense advan-
tage to the people at large, in open
ing up the vast resources of our
mineral and timbered mountains.
