Something besides coffee, sir,

The ''ChampiOn" Loose.

The Champion, the liquor paper
of Chicago alludes to the progress
of Prohibition, as follows: 'That
time is passed when the liquor
interests could laugh at, or ignore
the gnats and mosquitoes, the mice
and rats, the barking dogs and
believing bulls of the Prohibition
menagerie. From the east and
west, from the north and south,
even from the Pacific coast, come
tidings Of uprisings and spasmodic
upheayings against the manu-
tacture and sale Of intoxicating
beverages, which remind us of the
barbaric ages of semi.civilized
Europe, when in 1867 a fanatic
monk left his convent at Amiens,
and under the name of "Peter Her
nit" preached the crusade against
the Saracen."

SObriety for the Nation by the
Abolition of the Saloon,
The Rhode Island Waterloo.

The remarkable and unlocked for
victory, by which Rhode Island,
with great disabilities to overcome
and little hope of success, enrolled
itself on the 7th of April among the
States constitutionally prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors as beverage, may
well be termed Waterloo for the
rum host. Like that decisive bat
tie, it was the unyielding stub
bornness and unfinching fidelity
of those who fought the campaign
that saved Rhode Island to Tenn
perance. The management of the
canvass was in the hands of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and no political contest was
ever better arranged or more spir-
itedly prosecuted than this. See
Ing no human way to overcome the
constitutional vote which required
three-ffths to approve, and with a
limited time to arouse the long
quiet of the people, the women of
that State, trusting in God and the
justice of their cause, went into
the fight with all the courage and
splendid movement which looked
to triumph. Triumph they felt
was deserved, though how against
the odds it could be achieved was
beyond their vision. This famous
victory has called out large COM
ment from influential newspapers.
This inspiring result settles one
or two important matters. 1t shows
eonclusively that the Prohibition
idea is stronger with the people
than with the leaders. 1t settles
it that Rhode Island in all prob
ability can never go backward to
any system of permissive rum sell
ling. The extraordinary success
of the Prohibitory candidate for
Attorney General, with large par
ty majority, supposed to be with
his competitor, the Republican
nominee, clearly indicates that the
issue WAS well uuuSTSIOOU. Is
office has been used to neutralize,
and at times to modify, the con-
science and the Temperance convic-
tions of the State. The selection
of Col. Metcalf was not only a re-
buke to the base collision with the
liquor interest; it was besides, no.
tifcation that from this time for
ward the machinery of law must
cooperate with the sustainers rath-
er than the violators Of law, The
Rhode Island Waterloo, the car
rying of the no-license vote in
Massachusetts into a majority of
thousands, and the unprecedent-
ed alarm in all our Massachusetts
cities at the bold defiance and das-
tardly manpuvers of this liquor
power, seem likely to make April,
1886, as historical for reform as
April, 1875 was for the Inhalation of
the revolution and April, 1861,
was for the uprising against rebel
lion.-THe State, Boston.

WHAT THE LAW SAYS.

WHAT THE LAW SAYS.
We clip the following, which
speaks for itself, from the Demo
cratic paper of our now Prohibition
Capital:
CHARLESTON, May 4, 1886.
Editor Gazette:
desire to call the attention of
YOUR readers to our law relating to
the unlawful sale of intoxicating
liquors.
ANY person who sells intoxica-
ting liquors without State license
shall be fined for each offense not
less than ten nor more than one
hundred dollars.
All houses, buildings, and places
of every description, where intoxi
eating liquors are sold contrary to
law. are held to be common and
public nuisances, and the owner of
such house or building, who know
ingly permits intoxicating liquors
to be sold therein, contrary to law,
may be indicted for keeping a
nuisance and is liable to fine of
not less than twenty nor more than
one hundred dollars, and in addi-
ton may be imprisoned in the
county jail, and one sale is suffi
Gent to convict, and such house or
building upon conviction, by order
of the court, shall be torn down or
closed.
Any justice of the peace, of the
county, upon oath or affirmation
made before him that the affiant
has cause to believe and does be-
lieve that intoxicating liquors are
sold contrary to law in any house,
building or other place, is required
to issue his warrant, and have the
person suspected brought before
him for examination, and may Or
der that such building or place be
searched, and all persons found
therein be brought before him, and
require the accused, if there is
probable cause to believe him gull
ty, to give bond for his appearance
before the Circuit Court, and
bond shall be required for each
sale which it appears he has made,
and upon failure to give such bond,
such person shall be committed to
the jail of the county, and sheriff,
constable, or other officer holding
the warrant, when the sale is car
ried on secretly, SO that the per-
son selling cannot be seen or iden-
titled, may break open such house
or building when IL is necessary for
the arrest or Identification of the
accused,
1t is the duty under our statutes
of the Constables and Assessors of
the county to furnish to the Prose
cutting Attorney information as to
violations of these laws, and pen
atty is provided for their failure to
do so.
I call upon such officers, the JUS
tees of the Peace, and all good cit
liens throughout the county, to aid
the proper officers in the enforce
ment OF the law, and l hereby warn
all those engaged in or aboat to en-
gage in the illegal sale of intoxica-
ting liquors in Kanawha county,
that all the legal means at my
command will be resorted to to pre-
vent and punish such violators,
whether the violators be friends or
enemies, rich or poor, high or
low. And | hereby give notice
that bogus "clubs, " "blind jacks"
"blind tigers" "charters," bogus
agencies" or any other device for
evading the law will not avail as a
defence.
