To the Unions Throughout the
State.

Last week, Miss Fowler address
ed letter to the President or Sec
rotary of each Union, urging the
use of Miss Wizards Responsive
Readings and requesting that suf-
fcient number be ordered fer each
member of the Union. The object
Of these readings is to increase the
interest of the meetings and for
the information of their member
ship. They meet a long felt want,
and we wish to emphasize Miss
Fowler's request and insist that if
you have not money il your treas
ury to secure them, that you take
e collection frona the friends of our
cause in your community and send
for them. If your Union meetings
are too small TO make such an ex-
ereise enthusiastic, invite others to
come in, both ladies and gentlemen.
1t may be the means of enllstlng
them in the work.
At points where there are no
Unions organized, will not some
friend of the cause order these Leaf
let's of the "Union Sigrsa5," Chicago,
ILL.,, and in this way lay the foun-
dation for future and effective
work.

Those French CONNECTIONS.

A few weeks ago we noted the
receiving of box of "French con-
fections," bearing the compliments
of Miss List to the FREEMAN little
folks. 1t transpires that they were
not made by grimy hands in a
French manufacturing establish
ment; but were fashioned by the
def fingers Of the donor.
Now, we rise to apologize for the
misnomer, and to remark that there
is no occasion for the w. G. T. U,
going into bankruptcy with such
resources at its command; and
without having consulted oul
friend, we stand ready to take or.
ders," and establish agencies fol
these delicious "bon bons" through
out the Sd and 4th districts, where
their merits have been tested.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1886-01-27
"T!mely Talks"
work.

Our "Stay at Home" Sisters have
a rare chance to do active service
in the Temperance work by order
ing these "Timely Talks" Leaflets
and sending them to business men
and luke-warm Temperance men.
Their logic is irresistible, and as a
gentleman wrote US, "You could
not do better thing for the Tenn
perance cause than to put these
practical business talks into the
hands of business men,"
Send for them, to the Union Sig
nal Office, Chicago, Ill. Among
the best are "Shall we License the
Dram Shop" Glow the Dram shop
Helps Business" How the Dram
Shop Pays Taxes" License, High
or Low, Wrong in Principle"

Send for Sample Copies.

We want an active friend in
every Union to solicit subscribers

sample copies of FREEMAN free to
all applicants, who will hand them
to their friends and solicit sub
scribers, For terms see announce

"BIest Be The lie That Binds"

There are no sweeter words in
the annals of sacred song, than in
that dear old hymn of blessed mem
ory.
There is no earthly bond so
strong, so tender, as that which
binds the hearts of those who are
lone in Christ"
There is a comradeship of kind
red minds, growing out of oneness
of ideas regarding the policies of
life, that appears "like to that
above" but it will not bear the
strain of conflict. Let there come
a difference of opinion, and with
it comes a bursting of these brittle
bonds.
The fellowship that is born Of
that Glove" which "beareth all
things, believeth all things, hopeth
all things, endureth all things
outlives the "wear and tear" Of
earthly conflicts and rises above
the strife of human plans.
1t receives the faithful wound
ings" of friend, and "is kind" Il
suffers the neutrality-suspicious. O
an enemy and "thinketh no evil.
More than once of late have WI
had occasion to sing in our heart,
'Blest be the tie that binds"

Jennie Smith in MOrgantOwn.

Miss Jennie Smith, the indomlt-
able and irrepressible little lady
evangelist, who paid our town q
brief visit for the first time last
fall, is here again at her old WORK
of turning the town upside down
She came down, too, on our new
railroad, to the end of the line az
Ellington. She is thus the lazy
who was first to travel over the
new line. Not only so, but she
came in a Palace car, which was
also the first car of that descrlp-
ton to come over the line. MISE
Jennie stands in high regard Win
the officials as we'll as the laborers
of the B. & O. Co., and when the
Su perintendent learned of her IN
tention to come to Morgantown'
he placed his own car at her dlspos,
al and she rode down with quite an
escort of officers. Wherever tnlt
little lady goes along the line u
the B. & O. she is a queen. y

The W. C. T. U. and the conduc.
tors of the revival had a unlon
meeting Tuesday afternoon.

families in town and has Away

The Plot that was Brewing i.

1t was our good fortune to spend
week last summer with Miss
Hattie Babb, of Indiana, and her
two neices, Misses Lucy and Hattie
Babb, of Cincinnati; sister and
neices of the author of the
&C. e. B." letters in the Herald
& Pre0byter and Journal & Messen-
ger.
We noted their patient endur-
ance OF our W. G. T. U. talking
and planning, but never dreamed
plot was brewing in their own
busy brains, till on our way to
Philadelphia, our mutual hostess,
Mrs. T. K. Carskadon, handed us
$3.50 which "Cousin Hattie" had
left in the "dresser" neatly labelled,
"For Temperance work in your
State"
We make the "amende honorable"
publicly at this late date, to ease
our own conscience, and to enoour-
age some who are personally
interested in the Temperance work
in the State, to do likewise.

Vice Versa.

The awakening on temperance
in West Virginia is being accom-
panied by revival of interest In
the w. c. T. U.-Nea0 Era.
We believe it would be fairer
statement, That the awakening of
the w. C. T. U. in West Virginia
is accompanied by a revival OF
Temperance interest. The greater
portion of the Temperance work
that has been done in our State
during the past year has been
either directly or indirectly
through the fundamentally of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.

Hints to Unions.

Timely Talks" well read at
public meeting, make a good sub
stitute for a speaker. "Betsy Bob
bit" and "Josiah Aliens Wife"
have very humorous and effective
selections for Readings" and the
anthem "For God and Home and
Native Land" and "She Sails by
the Stars" and ooh, Where is Ny
Boy, tonight" we'll rendered, as
solos or quartettes, will add to the
variety of your entertainments as
well as give force by their appro-
priateness.
The Union Signal has always
some choice selections in prose and
poetry for such occasions. Let no
Union be without the Union SlgnG5'

That Harmless Beverage.
Which So-Called Christian Temper
once Men Persist IN Selling.

A friend writes; "Our greatest
trouble is caused by cider drink
ing. One man keeps it by the bar
rel and sells it to some of our (once(
best young men who now drink
hard cider, but used to drink ssceet
cider at home.
Of course. Hasn't cider been
properly called the DEVILS kindling
wood. How many mothers must
wait to see their sons become sots,
before they realize this truth.
1t doesn't take the average boy
long to find that cider day old is
better than the juice fresh from
the press, and the tiny bit of alco-
hol in that day old cider, which SO
improved its taste, soon kindles
the fire that requires such fuel as
rum and gin.
We shall never forget the answer
of mother who knew the danger
of this harmless (Odrink, in reply
to one who was defending its use.
Said Mrs. -. "What will you
do for mince pies and apple but
terp
The mother answered, eve are
not bound to haze nairace pies, and we
are bound to remore temptation from
our sons"
However, l know both Of these
articles can be made without the
use of cider"

To Bands of Hope.

We wish to call special attention
to Miss Gordon's new song book for
Bands of Hope, "MARcHING SONGS
FOR YOUNG CRUSADERS" Miss
Gordon's! practical knowledge of
the work gives her special advan-
tages in securing compilation of
music adapted to the needs of our
Bands. Those needing new books
are urged to send to the Union Sig.
nal office for them.

An Appropriate Gift.

A friend who thinks Miss Will
lard's face in itself, an inspiration
to higher life and thought, has
donated a Temperance Calender to
each school building in Parkers-
burg. Who shall limit the infiu-
ences going out from the truths
inscribed upon the tablet for each
day?

To the Presidents OF Local Unions.

DEAR sTERs.--I have consented
to cooperate in West Virginia with
Miss Willard in the new Depart.
ment of "Social Purity" which has
Just been established by our Ma
tional Union.
In the interest of this work, l
have cent Miss Wizards Circular
Letter to each President, asking
che appointment of a woman with
tact and judgment to aid me In
this delicate and difficult work.
Let me urge Tat a prompt re-
Spouse be given to my request
since my duties are growing, as the
yeae's work is fastening to an end
Letters have been sent to the
leading journals Of the State, re-
questing the publication of our
Circular, with editorial comment
Ministers have been addressed, call
ing their attention to the WHITE
Cross LEAGUE MOVEMENT, and urg-
ing the organization of these
leagues in their communities.
While it is a delicate subject, it
is one that il of such vital interest
to the Home, and SO directly rela-
ted to the drink habit, we cannot
without puerile prudishness, refuse
to recognize and encourage its
claims.
Yours sincerely,
JANE A. JOHNSON,
State Supt. Dept. of Social Purity.

A leading Issue.

Some of the polititians are al
ready discussing the railroad
commission question, and some
have gone 50 far as to publicly
urge the people to send men to
the next Legislature pledged to its
support. This will be a leading
Issue in the State campaign.
There is no kind of doubt but
what the arbitrary powers Of the
railroad commission of this State
have been the means Of giving
more than one community in our
grand old commonwealth back
set which time alone, together
with legislation curtailing the des-
potie privilege of three well-paid,
bound by no law officers, can re-
store to their former glory. Some
of the towns that were the most
active in securing this wonderful
piece of legislation-the great
railroad commission-.the lever
that was to lift them head and
shoulders above any ether towns
in the country, now severely feel
the rebound of this piece of folly.
Unless we can get a very decided
limit put upon the powers of these
gentlemen of the commission we
had best forestall the further de-
cay Of the glory Of cur section by
at once abolishing the whole stat
ute from the face Of our laws.

Our State Senator.

The Cathhert papers have be-
gun to talk about State Senator
for this district. They seem dis
gfuntled because Terrell county
always gets the plum. 1t was
amusing to observe last week how
the racy paragrapher''of the Enter
prise tapped about in the dark
over what appears to him to have
been commercial politics in the
last convention. In fact, Brother
Harden intimated that the delega-
ton from Terrell sold out at that
convention. This is a grave
charge to make against some of
the best citizens in this section of
the State, and the Enterprise
should produce evidence to sus-
tain its position. The simple
statement will not be believed
We have no idea that there was
any selling at the convention, but.
il there was, it IS safe to say Ter
rell was not bartered. It seems
more reasonable to suppose that
the Terrell delegation bought,
as they nominate / their man and
defeated the Randolph candidates.
According to the rotation sys-
tenn it falls to the lot of Terrell to
furnish the man for the next term
of two years. However, If Ran
dolph and Clay can agree upon
man between themselves, our
county, having furnished the Sen
ator for the last sixteen years,
will hardly insist upon the rota-
ton system, but will insist upon
the nomination and election Of
such a man as will worthilv rep
resent the district and who is
known to be sound and conserva-
tive. We are proud of our gro "
ing section, and have at heart the
interests of our people.
