The Waite Comedy Company.

Jas. r. Waite's Comedy Company APP
peared at the Grand last night in the
sterling old comedy, THE Honeymoon. -
The house was we'll filled, the gallery be-
Ing crowded, but the audience did not
seem to appreciate the play, for the reason
that it was one of the standard old style
comedies and so different from the plays
Of that character which are now on the
boards. The company is good and the
costuming was elegant, but on account OF
the play these good points were lost on
the audience. Mr.. Waite is an excellent
actor and is ably supported. The COM
pany would manifestly make a much bet
ter impression in q more modern style
OF drama and as they play The Danites'
tonight a good performance is assured.
The fine music of the company's band
created quite a sensation on our streets
yesterday afternoon, it being one of the
best bands which has been in Wheeling for
some time. The orchestra is also superb.

AS Effective AS ANY Criminal Law.

AS Effective AS ANY Criminal Law.
Why men who profess to be strong
ly o, opposed to the traffic in ardent spir-
its should insist on repeating the
groundless assertion that prohibition
laws are not operative, has always
been mystery to us. The fact is that
no climir al is better tnforced than
prohibition laws have been And as
public opinion grows stronger in oppo-
sition to the whiskey traffic they are
being still more rigidIv enforced
The laws ag; inst murder, theft, rob
berry arson, gambling, are not more
successful ly active than laws forbid
ding the sale of Intoxicating drinks;
but there has been no license granted
by the state for the practice # those
former crimes for centuries. while the
idea Of forhi Ding the sale and denying
the vendors of liquor license to ply
Their business is of very recent origin.
The. popular mind is slow to accept
new doctrins and advanced positions
that seem to Infringe on per>onal lib
erty. or PRIVILEGES which have been
formerly allowed hence the indiff renc'
with which m my honest prohibition
lists regard the stea thy violation of the
law. TIA brazen fellow dares to open
liz violate the prob bition laws he is
pretty soon brought up with II round
turn.
The man who would sell whiskey if
il was allowed by law, and those who
want the po son handy to drink, their
habit being o strong for their will,
have no hesitatio. about expressing
their displeasnre with prohibition
laws, and this gives the traffic an APP
parent popularity. Take for instance,
the men who would steal if it were
not unlawful and those who would
freely share the plumber by becoming
receivers if public opinion and law for
O. long period had not so crys'aiized the
bubble conscience against these acts, and
let them speak out boldly in favor OF
taking from tho e who have accumu-
hated property. AMI thew could make
lust as strong demo nstration sin favor
of theft as the partisans of licens d.
in behalf of liquor selling. And they
could give every whit as good reasons
for their opposition to the laws to pun
ish that crime, sThev could point to
The numerous thefts which are com
United and no clue had to the perpe-
traitors. They could go to the Court
records and point out the thousands OF
cases where the culprits escape pun
ishment through technicalities or in
suffic emf proof. And yet no one will
acknowledge that the laws for those
other crimes than liquor selling 81 ould
he abolished. First because they are
;pst. and second because they are old
and Of long standing. Prohibition
laws are lust and none are found fairy
able to deny thia fact but they are mot
old and of long standing. Let the good
people stick to it and insist on their

honor which the odor of antiquity I'm

only seven minutes, and expressed
regrets that the plaintiff had not de-

clear and pointed, and was so explicit
as TO the law of the case that the jury
could not hesitate as TO their duty in
