What are Officers For I!

Twenty-Five suits against Des
Moines saloon-keepers have been
dismissed upon the saloon-keepers
agreeing to pay all costs that have
accrued. The cases have been
given up because the officials
would not continue the prosecution
unless the temperance people fur
nished the money. And yet some
people think it is not necessary for
Prohibition party to be in con-
troll in order that the law may be
made complete success.-North-
aoestern Neaos.
In view of the above, we are
moved to ask, What are officers
elected FOR, if not to prosecute law
breakers
And what is the use of officers,
if private individuals are expected
to assume the task and burden of
bringing criminals to justice? 1t
is hard to conceive of a more fla
grant and dastardly insult to the
the people, than for their servants
to thus impudently face them with
the statement that they wont do
what they have been elected and
paid to do; and that the people
must arrest and prosecute Grim
inals or they may 60 free and con.
tinue to prey upon the citizens
whom they, these cowardly officials,
are sworn to protect! 1t is against
these repeated insults and infamies,
that the people are rebelling and
will rebel.

Political BushWhacking

"This is pointer for the high
moral candidates who defeated
Captain Smith by political BUSH
whacking.-Jourmal.
The above contemplate para
graph is as vicious in spirit as it is
puerile in construction and false in
insinuation.
OF course, reference is had to the
Prohibition candidates, and to Mr..
Caswell, candidate for Mayor, in
particular.
Be it remem bered that the Pro-
hibition ticket was in the field be-
fore the old party conventions were
held, and an honest, open and
manly appeal made to Temperance
voters for support as against Ii
cense tickets that might be nomi-
mated by the two old parties.
There was no personal work done
for any candidate on the ticket,
and even no effort made by Mr..
Caswell or his friends to prevent
the scratching of his name, that
was naturally to be expected in the
bitter contest between the heads of
the two old party tickets. SO far
from there being any bushwhack-
ing on the part of Prohibitionists,
they simply allowed their candi-
dates to march up as quiet victims
to the slaughter, content, on this
occasion, that a few of them had
the opportunity and the manhood
to vote their sentiments and free
their skirts of the blood of the MUIR
derous liquor traffic.
In view of the large number of
Prohibition tickets cast with Mr..
CaswelPs name scratched and Mr..
Smiths name in his place, the
meanness of the above charge by
the Journal is beyond expression.

Give the Whole Truth.

A HAPPY CoUNTY.-A correspon.
dent writing to the Marietta Leader
from New Cumberland, w. Va,
says this:
"New Cumberland can boast over
Ohio towns, or few of them. She
has not single saloon. There
never has been known to be
murder committed in this county.
This is something she should be
proud Of"
Almost while we were in the act
of putting the above in type, a
murder was being committed in
New Cumberland.-Hancock Coun-
ty Courier.
We presume the Courier clipped
the above from the FREEMAN. May
we ask why the Courier didn't add
to its misleading comment, the
fact that the murderers had to go
to Steubenville, Ohio, to get the
needed whisky to work up the MUIR
der? The newspaper that can't
appreciate the blessings of its own
county being free from the curse
of the saloon, deserves small sup
port from the good people Of its
county; especially it it fails to give
the whole truth, when the whole
truth is a credit to the community.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1886-01-13

according to law, and enforce exist
ing laws Regulating" the traffic,
it will find no warmer sympathy nor
heartier support from any of all the
people of Parkersburg than from
the "cranks" whose conscience
would not allow them to vote for
any man who would vote for
license. These Prohibitionists could
not and WOULD not be responsib lie
for the policy of license, but they
are ready, as they are always ready,
to share in the responsibility of
enforcing existing laws and saving
all that may be saved, even under
a license system. If we must have
license, let all good citizens unite
and get all possible good out of a
bad law.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1886-01-13
Reckless Journalism.

The Prohibition candidates receiv-
ed support amounting to more
than the balance of power, and
it is at their door that Captain
Smith may lay his defeat. That
such should be the case is rather
strange, when it is known that the
loon-keepers leagued against him
to defeat him, because he had on
one occasion while Mayor, acting
on the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the polls, cast the decid-
ing vote in Council which abolish
ed the saloons for one year.-Stats
Journal.
The Journal seems to be run on
the theory that there is virtue in
recklessness. Last week we had
the pleasure of torgiving the Jour-
nal for personal recklessness against
the FREEMAN, and we are exceed
lngly sorry to see it returning so
soon to its folly.
OF course we expected, in case of
Mr.. Smiths defeat, to hear the
charge as above, as all the calami-
ties of both the old parties are
nowadays laid to the charge of the
Prohibitionists. But when the
Journal gives political history it
should make some pretense to facts.
In the Council referred to, Mayor
Smith did not cast the deciding
vote "abolishing saloons for one
year" That Council stood to 8
against license, relieving the May
or from the responsibility of vot-
ing for or against.
Moreover, the charge that the
Prohibitionists defeated Mr.. Smith

PASTEUR'S REMEDY.
Has the Gazette been InOcuIated!

Democratic partisans are not
finding the Prohibition movement
as pleasing as it was. 1t begins to
nibble the ragged edges of the
Democratic party as was shown in
the late Ohio election, and if it
should cause a flaw in the Solid
South there would be no compen-
sation within the horizon. Com.
Gazette.
Surely the above is encouraging.
Recently the Com. Gazette has been
freely discussing Pasteur's remedy
for mad dog bites by inoculating
the patient with rabies virus, and
it really seems that Muriatic Hal
stead must have been inoculating
himself with deliri4m tremems virus,
from the mild and reasonable tone
of the above, so unlike his former
rawlings against Prohibition. He
really seems to have faith in the
theory of inoculating the body
polite with Democratic Prohi-
bition as remedy for Republican
partisan rabies growing out of con-
tact with Prohibition. Let this
inoculating process proceed, with
all needed repetitions, and uice
versa, when the rabies breaks out
in Democratic localities.

Gambling IN Omaha.

The gamblers of Omaha have
made proposition to the city that
if they are not interfered with for
one year they will pay for all street
Improvements and keep up the
water works. They ought to be al
lowed to build a nice, snug Jail, of
which they should be the first oc-
cupants.-A'bamy Argus.
Omaha is the Liquor mems par
adise of high license. Over a hun
dred saloons pay $1,000 license each,
but it is with the understanding
with the city that each one of them
may keep a veritable hell and
not be interfered with.
The gam blers now make like
proposition, and it is just as reas-
enable as the other.
1t would be just like ''high Ii
cense" city to sell itself to gamblers
as it sells itself to the saloons.

say it is not sold there. Jake Kema-
pie IN a recent Wheeling speech.

Our New Council,

We much regret we cannot
announce to our readers, the cleo
ton of the Prohibition ticket, and
in the same happy connection pro-
claim the end of the murderous
liquor traffic in Parkersburg.
But aside from the one most
important issue of licensing saloons,
our city council elect is certainly
one Of the best we have had for
years. They are all gentlemen
prominent in business circles and
closely identified with the interests
Of the city. And what is best of
all, we believe majority of them
are free from the party thralldom
of being in the line of political
preferment.
They are not office-seekers, and
are in position to give the city a
wise administration as independent
servants of the people.
AS license council, it seems to
us the incoming administration is
especially fitted to test the virtues
of the license policy, if there be
any virtues in it, as claimed
If the council shows purpose and
determination to grant licenses
