Strange if True.

The Ritchie Gazette comes to us
with another of those generally un-
founded stories about men dying
and Coming to" in their collins,
and sometimes after burial. This
time the statement is made of an
eccentric character named VIM.
Cunningham, living near Tunnel
No. 10, Richie county. 1t is said
that he died and neighbors had
gathered to bury him, when he
opened his eyes and asked where
he was, got up and walked about
the house uttering incoherent cries
about "a baby" crime, &c,
After two days he apparently
died again, and this time they
buried him, "dead or no dead" is
about the way the account puts it.
If these sensational stories serve
no other purpose, they may not be
without benefit in moving people
everywhere to great caution against
premature burials.

The following is from the Wheel

like square-toed Prohibitionist, as
far as he goes; only he don't 60 far

CANT worth a cent"
Albeit, the following editorial is
good:
"The City Council will soon be
asked to pass upon applications for
license to sell liquor in this city.
If Council pursue the customary
course it will rush through the Ii
censes without any regard to the
fitness of the applicants.
''If it were not expected that dis
eliminating judgment would be ex-
ercised in granting licenses, Coun-
Gil would not be asked to take any
action at all. Applicants would be
required to pay the license fee, and
that would be all of it. But Coun-
Gil is required, before it grants Ii
cense to sell liquor, to "consider
the character of the applicant for
sobriety and honesty, and the con-
venience of the place proposed !"
and "the Council shall be satisfied
that such license is proper, and
shall be further satisfied and enter
on its record, journal or minutes,
that the applicant is not of intern
perate habits"
"This is the law. The fact is
that there is no attention whatever
paid to the character of the appli-
cant. Men of the worst character,
who keep the worst kind of resorts
for the depraved Of both sexes, are
granted license as a matter of
course, no regard being had to their
past or their future conduct. The
worst that happens to them is an
occasional fine, which operates as
no protection at all to the commu-
nifty and comes upon them so rarely
that they do not regard it as a re-
minder to do better.

strued to be mere form. Bonds

"The fault lies mainly with the
Council, which has the power to
drive out of the business men
who every Councilman knows
ought not to have license. There
are places in Wheeling, publicly
known to be halfway houses on
the road to professional prostitu-
ton. Members of Council know
where they are and to whom they
belong. They have license now,
and, unless Council turns over a
new leaf, they will get it again.
"In the Mayors vigorous message

and Councilmen cannot shut their
eyes to its existence though they
may cuntinue to permit it. There
ought to be in the Council of

age to withhold license from ev-

The HeraId's EbullitiOns.

The Marshall Herald of recent date
made labored attack on the FREE
MAN that was as false in character
as it was vicious in purpose.
AS Prohibitionists 60 forward on
the straight highway of duty, it
is not wise to stop and worry about
every partisan yelp that is heard
by the way, nor do we propose to
spend any time in trying to pacify
the Herald. 1t bowls at us vicious
ly because we failed to enthuse and
jolllfy over the Marshall county
victory over the saloons, charging
that the FREEMAN never mention
ed Temperance victory unless it
was won by the "third party"
Our readers will readily note the
folly and falsity of such charge,
after seeing in the FREEMAN, for
weeks past, accounts of the grand
work in prosecuting and suppress
ing saloons in Clarksburg, Weston,
Grafton, and other points where
the Prohibition party has no organi-
zation.
The Herald could but have known
it was Illuminating silly stuff, and
ought to be ashamed of itself.
The fact is, we tried to learn
something of the Marshall Courts
dealings with the lawless saloon
lists, and looked through the Herald
in vain for particulars. 1t gave us
no news upon which we could base
any comments. Aside from a few
personal squibs about individual
saloonists, in which the public
had no interest, it gave US little OF
nothing of the proceedings of the
Court against the liquor men.
And then this criticism comes
with very i'll grace from the Her.
aid. 1t is the organ of the party
overwhelmingly in the majority in
Marshall county. For years past
these saloon outlaws have insulted
Heaven and defied humanity in
their brazen violations of all law ir
Moundsville, Cameron and Other
parts Of the county, and never YET
has the Herald had the grace o.
courage to demand of its party
that these pirates should be sup
pressed and Marshall's imperiled
'homes protected. When anything

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1886.
THE w. C. T. u. Spirit.
Rescuimg the FREDERICKSBURG the
Impsriled.

At the battle OF Shiloh, the brave
General Wallace was fatally shot
through the head, remaining un-
conscious in the hospital two or
three days before his death. His
devoted wife was promptly at his
side, ready to lavish all possible
comfort, consolation and help that
wifely devotion and skill could de-
wise, But he was past all con-
seriousness or hope of relief. Moth
ing could be done either to relieve
suffering or impart consolation.
Not even the faintest smile or nod
of recognition could the agonized
wife get from her dying husband.
In the midst of her sorrow and
gathering despair, she heard the
means and saw the sufferings of the
wounded and dying all about her.
She said, 81 can do nothing for my
own; here are other husbands,
whose wives are not present to
minister unto the m; other sons,
whose mothers are far away--can l
help them?" And soon she was
dressing wounds, bathing fevered
brows, and scattering cheer and
comfort among the brave sufferers
who were conscious and could be
helped and consoled. The true,
loyal wife and woman, she first did
all that could be done for her own,
and then turned with all her ener-
gies to help others.
And here is the true spirit of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. The intense anxiety Of
every true mother heart to preserve
her own home from the monster,
impels her to seek the safety and
happiness OF other homes. And in
this terrible war against the sa-
loon, many brave woman, like
Mrs. Wallace, has gone to the front
of the battle to save a husband,
father or son, only like her to find
the loved one wounded by the enc
my past all help, and, like her, has
been impelled by sympathy for
others to spend her energies and
labors where there is hope. There
fore, let no careless tongue speak
harsh word against her, who in her
despair of relief in her own drink
cursed castle, goes out in the agony
of her soul to help save other
homes from a like awful fate.
Surely it would seem there would
be prompt and universal response
to the Apostles command, "Help
those womer." Every heart and
hand that can at all be moved by
the cries of suffering humanity,
ought to be quick, lavish and un-
questioning, in aid of the grand
work OF the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, a work that is
80 womanlike in it's plans and
purposes, and 30 Christ-like in its
unseltishness and sacrifice. And
small indeed must be the soul that

bItiOn.
Some Delayed Notes.

Qn our enjoyment Of the recent
excellent lecture in this city, by
Rev. w. A. Powell, on the live
subject as given above, we made
some random notes, and without
pretense of following the speaker
through his able and logical ad.
dress, we mention the following
salient points;
"Since leaving Parkersburg he
had been constrained to take the
advance with the Prohibition par

We are dwelling over a cave of
furies. We see these furies coming
out in social and labor troubles in
the Pittsburgh riots; in the Gin

ed the saloons all closed, and Or
dered in vain. 1t was the saloons
harvest time, and they could not
be closed. What the people would
not close in peace they could not
close in war.
Evils of the Trafic.-1st Sin;
End, Vice; Ord Crime.
Christian Conscience has to do
with all these. 1t must use moral
suasion for the sinner, and legal
suasion to remove the temptation.
It must fortify against the Vice
with Education. This the w. G.
T. U. are doing grandly.
1t must suppress the crime by
suppressing the Traffic. The liq-
uor crime is an organized nuisance
that must be abated.
Wherever a saloon is planted,
property goes down. The saloon
attacks property as it attacks NOR
ais. The men who murder morals,
murder society and the State.
What is the remedy? Under IL
cense the traffic has increased
three-fold since 1860. The tax
idea in Ohio is for "revenue only"
It is an attempt to dodge the
righteous verdict of the people
against license.
We must declare the traffic
crime-a nuisance. Men talk Of
Personal Liberty. We have duties
as citizens as we'll as rights. Would
that men would think more Of du-
ties and less of rights!
The Liquor traffic is the men
ace and peril of American civiliz-
alton. It curses every community
it invades with the vile triplets,
the Saloon, Brothel and Gambling
He'll. Take a tax or license fee
from the saloon and you not only
establish the saloon, but build with
it the brothel and gambling hell.
They all go together; they are as
close akin as triplets are.
Prohibition is the remedy, with
a Prohibition party to enforce it.
When God has great work he
calls a party to accomplish it.
When he has new issue he calls
new party. He wills to bring
conscientious men out of the old
parties into the new. Men will
not change parties for any petty
reasons. Men of conscience must
have reason that appeals to con-
science. The issue between the
two old parties is that of bid
ding for the liquor vote. There
will soon be reorganization Of pc,
litical parties; a disintegration and
new aggregations. They tell us
the Prohibition party is weak; but
you can't count men by noses, or
the strength of a party by num-
bers. These must be weighed IN
the scales of right and justice.
God help US in this cause to have
the weight of prayer, conscience
and wisdom, and give US the vlcto-
ry in his own good timeP'
