The GENERAL ADVANCE,
ALONG THE PROHIBITION

The Methodist Ministerial Asso-

influence to the Prohibition party"
Senator Wilson, of Iowa, says
that Prohibition is a fixed fact in
that State, and believes it to be the
coming issue in national affairs.
Hon, Neal Dow, who recently
passed his SIND birthday, gave
seven addresses for constitutional
Prohibition in the recent campaign
in Rhode Island.
We notice through an exchange
that sixty-three towns in Massa-
chusets voted last year for license.
This year, out of the sixty-three
towns, twelve only went for IL

on, and as it rolls it increases in
size.

Victory Only Deferred.

The election of Wednesday shows
there are three hundred and ninety
two men in Annapolis who could
not be deceived by sophistry,
deferred by threat, nor demeaned
by bribery to vote for legalizing the
sale Of intoxicating liquors. Such
a band of men who publish to their
felIow-citizens, that it is a con
8cientious principle of their lives
to unalterably oppose the legali-
zation Of the Infamous traffic is the
nucleus of eventual victory. They
are there for all time. Not SO with
our opponents. With our foes are
the elements Of disintegration,
with us the foundations Of strength.
The contest will go on. The
courts will be tried first, and so, in
one assault or another, the eternal
warfare against the worst evil that
afflicts mankind will continue.
The victory is only Deferred

A Sufficient Answer.

The Bel Air (Md.) Times comes
to us with a column of exegetical
nonsense by a'Rev. w. F. B., in
efforts to show from the Scriptures
that the Church cannot favor Pro
hibition, and that "to be deprived
of wine is temporal curse" &c.
We think it unwise to spend
much time with ante-diIuvian
ministers Of this sort. We think
the editor of the Bel dir Times, in
the column adjoining the article,
sums up the matter most conclu-
sively in this, his closing para
graph:
FINALLY, not to extend these OBJ
servations, we again ad opt the
sentiment which fell from the lips
of deceived" Othello We think
it pity that any man of God
should lend the influence of his
high character and calling to a
proposition which carries rejoicing
into every secret bar-room in Har-
ford county, and sorrow into every
pulpit but his own"

Our Maryland Exchanges.

The FREEMAN is most happy to
get on more familiar terms with
its Maryland brethren.

tend the warm hand Of fellow
ship this week, to the Talbot Times,
Baltimore Methodist, Bel Air Trib-
u,ae, The american Union, of Den
ton, The Three States, and Inde-
pendent, of Cumberland, and still
they come.
We shall take pleasure in inter
viewing these new visitors, each
week, and note what of good cheer
and encouragement we can CLEAN
from them.

THE FREEMAN
For a Dollar.
NOW'S THE TIME TO PUSH
THINGS.

The FREEMAN has no other bust
ness or purpose than to renGsr the
best possible service in the cause
of Prohibition to the largest pos
sible constituency.
If it can materially enlarge its
constituency, it can come and con-
tinue to come at one dollar. 1t is
for our friends to say whether its
subscription lists shall be doubled
or trebled. If they so decide, the
matter is settled.
If Prohibition sentiment is de-
veloped and crystalized into law, it
must be done largely through the
medium of Temperance papers,
To get these papers into fami-
lies, requires the active work of
friends in every neighborhood.
We earnestly ask all such friends
to whom this message comes, to
start at once the work of getting

OUR NEW NAME.
What our Friends Think of it.

CLARKsBuRG, May s.
DEAR FREEMAN.
| think the change in your name
a good one. 1t indicates a broader
field of labor. While | trust that
that you have no less interest in
freeing West Virginia from the
curse Of the rum traffic, | take it
that the change denotes your desire
and effort to free our sister State,
Maryland, and in fact, alb the States
in this glorious Union. The short
er name is an indication of strength
and force.
May The FREEMAN spread its
balmy wings Of peace over the
homes Of the whole Nation and ere
long may it not be known and
sneered at as the WEST VIRGINIA
FREEMAN, but be recognized as a
National organ. L. E, PETERS.
