With his naughty, wcll-bred air.
At her side,
Looking with scornful eve
Al poor me, as walk by
While they ride.
Well know he is not worth,
Spite OF all his pride of birth,
Such favor;
And think, As l advance,
OF that calculating glance
That he gave her.
Lady dear, he cares for naught
But the things which may be bought
With your pelf;
In his thoughts you have no part,
And his cold and sluggish heart
Beats for self.
Yet how glad Ia be and gay

You treat him.

And the sad old world around me
Would grow dim.
All, my lady, fair and sweet,
Will you tell rue when we meet

That your heart has grown so small,
There is no room thoro at oil
For me too?

this potent remedy fair trial.

Ubiquitous Dow law by adopting
Prohibition.

so that an overflow meeting of
about 1000 was held on the Public
Square, on Wednesday evening.
Hundreds of converts to our noble
cause were made. Among the mot
toes conspicuously displayed on the
walls were, "Protection for our
Homes" "Probibition for the Sa-
loon," "If God be for US, who can
be Against us?" 1--WE make no
Deals" "No North, no South, no
East, no West" And the spirit of
the proceedings was all in harmony
with such declarations. Delegates,
visitors and citizens went home

cause will succeed, our homes be
protected, and God and His Sab
bath honored by just people in
this land. JOHN BANNER.

Speaker Carlisle issued orders to

such disgraceful scenes as usually

The Difference.
Political Partyhood Us. Christian
Womdnhood.

Two great organizations were
assembled in conference" on
July 2Sth. The Republican party
of West Virginia met down in the
valley at Parkersburg; the W. G.
T. U. met on the mountain top at
Mt. Lake Park. Both had under
consideration, the great, stirring,
burning question of the Liquor
Evil. And the difference between
the deliverances of the two bodies
is both marked and marvellous.
The one is dull, evasive and
shifting from party to anddviduals
the other, clear, straightforward,
courageous and confident. The
latter is as high above the former
as are the tops of the Alleghenies,
whence it was proclaimed, above
the Ohio Valley where the
groveling policies of party exigen-
cies were considered.
Here are the two resolutions
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this Conference, as individual Re.
publicans, that an amendment to
the State Constitution prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intox.
icating liquors should be submit
ted by the next Legislature, to be
voted upon by the people, Par
kers6urg Republican Conference.
Resolved, That we will follow the
white flag of Prohibition, wherever
the Lord plants it, lending our in
fuence to that party which gives
US the best embodiment of prohibi-
ton principles and will most sure
ly protect the Home W. c. T. u

Our special offer, as already an
nounced, is to send THE FREEMAN,

constituency, it can come and con-
tinue to come at one dollar. 1t is
for our friends to say whether its

matter is settled.
If Prohibition sentiment is de-
veloped and crystalized into law, it
must be done largely through the
medium of Temperance papers,

Prohibition in Charleston
A Grand Success.
DEAR FREEMAN

DEAR r KEENAN,
We have now had three months
of Prohibition in the Capital City,
and 1 thought it might not be
amiss to give somewhat in detail,
my own impressions as to it's sue
cess. l wish to speak first of what
l have observed personally.
l. AS to the thirty saloons which
were open last year, up to the first
of May, I notice that eight are
now occupied in other and profita-
BILE lines of business. Eight others
seem to be permanently closed. The
remaining fourteen are still open
as restaurants and saloons where
only Temperance drinks are adver-
tised for sale. None of them are
openly violating the law.
2. Whatever these Temperance sa-
looms are selling, my observation is
that their open patronage is moth
ing like what it was before. Sa-
loon loafers and frequenters have
either ceased to exist or have re-
tired to more private quarters.
3. I have seen but four or five
drunken men in the whole three
months. Before that, hardly day
passed that did not observe one or
more persons under the influence
of liquor.
4. I know a number Of persons
who used to be more or less under
the influence of liquor all the time,
who have been leading sober lives
under Prohibition.
5. A great many red faces and
noses have very perceptibly bleach
ed out since their legal supply OF
strong drink was cut off.
6. | am now seldom troubled
with the offensive smell of liquor.
Under license, it was strong in
front of almost every saloon l pass
ed, and on the breath of many |
met on the streets.
7. I observe that business, in
building, trade, &C., goes right
along even more lively than be-
fore, and | do not see SO much idle
ness as there used to be.
s. notice great difference in
the general peace and quiet of the
city. There is a marked absence
of that boisterous conduct, vulgar
profanity, and drunken revealing
that used to be a source of frequent
annoyance, as well as danger, by
day and by night.
In addition to my own personal
observation, l have heard many
faithful sayings, worthy of all &C
1, | have heard of but three or
four cases of drunkenness before
the Police Court, since May LIST.
2. Ihave heard quite a number
who were strongly in favor of Ii
cense, because they had no conf
dence in the success of prohibition,
confess that they had been disap-
pointed and that it was working
remarkably we'll.
3. The great majority of the bus
mess men report an unusually live
ly trade during the past three
4. A policeman reports percepti-
BILE improvement in appearance of
the children of the poor, who were
by strong drink.
6. A number of families on the
of town, have spoken of
the unusual quiet of their Satur-
day nights, which used to be made
hideous by the country and suburb
1runkards returning to their
homes.
6. Good men from the country
have remarked upon the great diff
ference in Charleston, and have ex-
pressed their greater pleasure in
,rading here, under the present
system.
7. A mechanic observes that

Trouble in the Robinson Family.

Allen B. Robinson is salesman. Not long ago
his wife Hattie applied to the courts for divorce.
alleging that Allen did not support her properly,
besides being cruel. Yesterday he set out his
grievances in q complaint of the same kind. He
says she treats him harshly and is an adept in
the use of an abusive tongue. But this is moth
ing compared to the allegation of her wasteful-
ness of money. She he claims, would not only
take all he had about him, but go to the store
for more On one occasion she had bim arrested,
and while he was thus held she sold all of his
furniture and property. The money she pro-
cured in this way went like all the rest, in ex-
travagance, and then she dismissed the case
against him. he also charges her with infdeli-
deity and abandonment
