A "TRUE BLUE"
an Octogemariam's Strong Greed.

GRAFTON, w. VA, April 9.
ED. FREEMAN
You may send the FREEMAN, for
balance of my contribution to the
six following addresses: x x
I wish | had half million dol
lars to scatter Prohibition papers
all over the United States. If I
had it to give and it would put
down the liquor traffic, I would
give it as freely and with as good
will as ever ate ginger cake /;
for l believe it would pay the Blue
family alone, one thousand years
from now, better than to give it to
my wife and four children to-day in
dollars and cents.
l am anxious to see this heu-broth
rule put down as soon as possible,
for to my own personal knowledge
it has been growing worse for the
last rs years.
You may think the definition 1
give the stuff, hell-broth," a little
rough; but Noah Webster says
heU-broth is a composition boiled
up for internal purposes, and it is
the most appropriate name alcohol
can have.
When l get some more money, 1
will again lend helping hand in
the good cause.
A STRONG CREED.
If had the power, I would wipe
from the statute books all laws in
any way protecting whisky, beer
and tobacco for a beginning, and
then I would branch out from that
and make clean sweep of every
thing of like nature found in any
of our codes of laws in the United
States.
1 believe it is the right and duty
of Government to see that no nui-
sance is allowed to annoy and curse
the people.
I believe we must have a new
party and break down both the old
whisky parties and destroy the sa,
looms.
I have been in both the old par
ties, but they use too much of the
broth for political purposes for me.
1t is their principal stock.
We want a party that will stand
up for the honest people and for our
homes, and not for the saloons.
Yours truly,
J, W. BLUE.

Don't Abbreviate.

Authorizations, az rule, are an
abomination anywhere, and the
rule with type-setters is to follow
copy. Hence it is not infrequently
a long job to write out words which
ought to have been written out by
those sending us their communi-
cations. Authorizations belong to
a slip-shod style of writing that no
intelligent man shonld be guilty
ot.-E1an,ifser.

Mississippi Local Option.
Gives Prohibition a Double Chance.

G2UeS PTOh202t20n q D0UOte CHdflce.
The Mississippi House of Repre-
sentatives, by vote of p to 33,
passed a local-option bill, the main
features of which are as follows:
Upon a petition of one-tenth of the
voters of any county in the State
to the board of supervisors of such
county, they are to order an cleo
ton, The election can be held
once in every two years, and if it
carries against whisky the ques-
ton is settled for that period of
time. If it is carried for whisky,
then applicants for license must
present a petition to the board of
supervisors, if in supervisors dis
trict, or to the municipal authori-
ties if in an incorporated town or
city, signed by twenty-five free
holders, stating that the applicant
is a suitable person to receive such
license. The petition must be
placed on file for thirty days, and
if in that time a petition of the
majority of the voters in the su-
pervisor's district or incorporated
town is filed against him the IL
cense shall not be issued.
The bill passed the Senate with
few amendments on the 9Th OF
February"

OUR DAYTON LETTER.
Balm, Beecher, Election; Prohibition
or National Decadence, SUI
eide, Ruin.

DAfTON, OHlO.
THE FREEMAN has ceased to
come to Dayton. 1t may be that
it is tired of coming or has missed
its way in the change of postmas-
ter and mail agents and will come
after awhile. This reminds me of
fact coming to my own notice,
and that is the President is either
a poor judge of human nature, or
he has been shamefully imposed
upon. The moral contrast in many
cases is very marked.
To-day Dayton is 80 years old,
and has a population of over 3d.
600. Next Monday the city cleo
ton occurs. The Democrats were
first in the field, with Mr.. Eckly
for Mayor. He is a printer and
Knight of Labor. He is charged
with being a Democrat, Prohibi-
ZIONIST and Granger. Saloon keep
ers cannot become members of the
Order of Knights of Labor, as they
do not labor. Saloon keepers would
be great fools if they did labor
when they can get license to
make fortune without labor.
Mr.. Eckly, however, is assidu-
lousy counting the saloon keepers
just now. This is wise if he really
wants to be elected.
The Republicans nominated Mr..
Crawford. He has large marble
yard, is member of the Baptist
church, and is said to be good
man. lido not know how he stands
on the Liquor Question.
We have been crowded with lee
lures this week.
The w. G. T. U. had Col. Balm
of Kentucky here two nights.
Monday night free lecture on
depression in Trade, the Cause
and Cure" A good lecture and
fine audience. He showed how the
saloon antagonized the business of
the country, and made some ex-
cellent points.
Tuesday night pay lecture, SUBJ
ject; "Our Boys and Girls, Nice and
Naughty" There was good au-
dience and good lecture.
These lectures were in the Opera
House. Wednesday night, Henry
Ward Beecher lectured in the
Rink on "The Reign of the Com
mon People," to an audience of
about 300. While there were some
forcible passages in the lecture, as
whole it was tame and to me
disappointing. [ was informed that
he went from the Rink to the OPP
era House. He has lost his grip on
the people and would do well to
subside.
The battle of Prohibition is 60
ing on with increasing intensity.
The issue is being better under
stood.
Society has a bottom and a top.
The top is ascending, while the
bottom is not. The tension on the
bands that bind society together
is having a fearful strain. They
will break unless this,strain can be
relieved. Then will come anar-
chy, bloodshed, arson and name
less crimes.
The saloons of the country make
1t impossible for three and a half
millions to get any higher. These
IN the near future will be seven
millions. This means national dec
adence. The nation is now in the
trst stages of political lunacy, and
this will end in suicide. Thou
sands of sober people will go to the
devil, because they are political
towards. 2. W.

FOX AND FOWL.
Cute Reynard's Sagacity in the Role of an
Undertaken.

Cute Reynard's sagacity in the Role of an
Undertaken.
A pleasing incident, that adds to the
fox's reputation for s%hrewdness that is
somewhat better than cunning, appears
in the Liverpool Courier. A Scotch
correspondent writes to that journal:
Zone of the stalkcrs in the deer forest
here has a young fox which he caught
when quite a cub, and which he keeps
chained to q kennel near his cottage.
The other day he gave the creature a
dead crow, thinking he might like the
amusement of eating it.; but Reynard,
after careful consideration, thought the
birds condition rather called for decent
burial. and therefore he dug with his
forepaws a large enough hole in front
Of his kennel, and when finished he put
the bird into it, laying it on its back,
with it's claws in the air."
The stalker, who was watching the
animal, saw him then scrape the loose
earth over the bird so as to quite cover
its body; but the legs still stuck up in
the air. These legs seemed to annoy
him a good deal, and he tried to press
them down with his nose. Failing in
this, and after evidently turning the
matter over in his mind, he bit the legs
off, laid them fiat beside the bird and
then covered everything over with
| earth.

The Hermit of the Tomhstones.

Four miles west of Thomaston, on an
unfrequented road, stands a house
which shows evident signs of age. In
front, beneath a shady maple, are two
tombstones Of persons who died in 1876
and 1873. A long, lank individual
named Worrall lives a sort of hermit
life in the house, which is reached by a
long pair of stairs. The house within
is a veritable curiosity-shop, the walls
being covered with huge hornet-nests,
wreaths made from potato bugs, all
grasses of the field, besides innumerable
butterflies and insects fastened to the
wall with pins. A room in the rear is
a museum itself-cases Of stuffed birds
and snakes, frogs, owls, hawks,
pigeons, minerals, a chair one hundred
and twenty years old, a wreath OF
snake-skins, another of potatoes, third
OF eggs, a whisky-bottle one hundred
n sixty years old, lizards OF al
species, a frame inclosing a wreath
made Of the claws Of animals, four
thousand eight hundred in all, and all
sorts Of odd things from the woods

SLEEPLESSNESS.

A Mothers Remedy-How 1t Operated On
a Baby.
One evening a few weeks ago, says a
writer, l had an exaggerated form of a
very common experience with my
baby. He never goes to bed exactly
with the setting of the sun, but on the
evening in question it seemed as if he
had really forgotten how to go to sleep.
l did not put him to bed and let him
cry himself to sleep, for T had tried
that once and his crying soon led to
such a fit Of coughing and choking
that l was frightened, and I vowed
never to do SO again; and so eight,
nine, ten O'Clock came, and the little
eyes were wide open. I used all my
arts of soothing and persuading, but
there he sat and laughed and cooed,
and watched the light and shadows I'M
til eleven o'clock came and went and
twelve was just at hand. Something
must be done, and I could think Of
nothing, unless possibly a we cloth on
the head might have a soothing effect;
at least it would do no harm to try. I
took a piece of canton flannel, large
enough when doubled to cover the
whole head. and wrung it rather dry
out OF warm water, then put it closely
over baby's head SO as to cover both
ears and eyes. The effect was wonder
full! There was a brief struggle, then
perfect quiet, and in less than five
minutes the little fellow was sound
asleep. Since then I have tried it
again and again, and always with the
same quick result. 1t is a simple rem
tedy for sleeplessncss and well worth
knowing and trying.-Bubahood.

CATTLE KINGS.
How Foreign Mobiles Acquire Fortunes on
the Plains of Texas.

the Plains of Texas.
The public does not realize the enor-
nous extent of the vast profits of the
western cattle-raising business, as it is
now conducted in Texas, New Mexico
and the plains, as far north even as
Wyoming and Montana. The little
book, "Cattle- Raising on the Palms."
by Walter, Baron Won Richthofen, gives
much valuable information On chis sub
ject. The author has been in the bust
ness and lived among the stockmen Of
Colorado and other quarters. The quick
and large profits of the business, as it
can be conducted by great syndicates
of companies o especially, are
tempting great numbers of foreigners,
titled and otherwise, to embark in it
and to keep extending not only their
herds but their landed acquisitions, by
purchase OF, apparently, by any other
practicable means. The Prairie Cattle
Company controls a domain considera-
bly, larger than the State of Connecti-
cut. 1t is partitioned off into three
divisions each having its system Of gov
eminent. Its herd Of 80, 1000 or 100000
cattle, its army of rancheros or cow
boys and its hundreds of horses, all
busy, and all especially in use in the
annual round-ups, or gathering of the
cattle for counting and for Branding
the calves. This New Mexico and
Texas company alone have 140,0 900
head Of cattle and a property. al told,
that is rated at between 81, 100000 and
$4,000, 900. Individual cattle lings are
mentioned who own 10000 head of cat
tie and 700, 900 acres or more each, re-
quiring $50 miles of fencing. Scotch
companies, English companies French
companies, titled foreigners md un-
titled, as well as great numbers of
Americans, are engaged in this protita-
BILE business.
The Prairie Cattle Company began
only three years ago, yet they nov
have $4,000 head of cattle, after hav-
ing sold enough to pay all expenses to
date and leave a clean profit Of about
$500, 600. Other syndicates are doing
a similar large and profitable business.
They find it profitable to gradeup their
stock. The improvement of the old
Spanish-Texan stock by crossing it
with a strain of Hereford or Shorthorn
or other blooded stock pays very well
in the larger animal and in the in
creased market price of the beef. Many
of these great seattle kings" have al
ready become millionaires and many
more are fast becoming such.-Hart-
ford Post.
