MARYLAND DEPARTMENT.

This week, West Virginia reiter-
ates her greetings to "My Mary
land" and again tenders the free
dom of the FREEMAN's columns for
any good words she may wish to
pass along the Prohibition Lines.
Our Maryland friends will not
find in this issue the rich repast Of
last week, that we were enabled to
set out, by the kindly aid of Mr.. J.
l.. Thomas, one of their own most
busy and efficient workers. He
was too busily engaged in duties
connected with the annual Con-
ventions now in session, to attend
to other matters the past week.
However, we have gathered few
items and articles that will be of
special interest to Maryland, and
thus repeat our limitations and
indications of what the FREEMAN
is ready to offer in the way of a
closer cooperation between Mary
land and West Virginia in our
common warfare against the sa-
loon.

Words for Wage-WOrkers.

Wiser and truer words were never
spoken than the following by Hon.
VIM. Daniel in a late address on
Labor and Liquor" delivered in
Baltimore
"The only two live issues before
the American people to-day are
those of the just rights of labor in
relation to capital and the neces-
SHY of the Prohibition or sup
preston of the liquor traffic. These
important questions have thrust
themselves upon public attention,
and have demanded hearing and
settlement, despite the efforts of
capitalists and monopolists, of
liquor dealers and politicians to
down them or hold them in abey-
ance. And the settlement they de-
mand is just and righteous
one, and they cannot be quieted
until thus settled.
1.-THE politicians have been tell
ing laboring men for years past
they cannot compete with the
pauper labor of Europe. And this
has been true, for men with brains
and noble ambitions, who seek for
themselves and families comfort
able homes and the education of
their children, cannot compete
with men devoid Of these, who can
live with a half dozen in a family
in cellar or garrett on So per week.
And so they have been voting for
years for tariff to protect them
from the pauper labor Of Europe.
But while so doing they seem to
have entirely neglected to protect
themselves from the pauper labor
at home, whose competition is far
worse, made such by the saloons.
For it is the men impoverished by
the saloons, whose Unsuitable appe-
tites for g glass of grog and crust
of bread necessitates them accept
ing employment at any price that
underbids the better class of work
men, and frequently causes their
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1886-04-21
The Garrett County Outrage.

A year ago, under special act,
several districts in Garrett county
voted the, saloon nuisance out of
their borders. And now before
year has passed the Legislature re-
peals the former act, and at the De-
hest of the liquor bosses re-submits
the question to enable the saloon
power to get a new grip on the
whole county, as the vote is not to
be counted by districts in this cleo
ton.
The people are greatly indignant
and thoroughly aroused.
The Oakland Republican says:
1.-THE special election to be held
on the 9th inst, as announced in
our last issue, is to determine the
question whether license to sell
Intoxicating drinks or local option
shall prevail in Garrett county.
This is an important election and
should be generally attended and
participated in by the voters of the
county. The question has two
sides, and every voter in the coun-
ty should determine for himself
which is the side of right, and then
cast his ballot in accordance with
his determination.
This election, and the great ex-
pense and inconvenience incident
thereto, was entirely uncalled for,
as the people had decided less than
two years ago in what districts IL
cense or local option should pre-
vail. The Temperance people
claim that they we're opposed to
any legislation on the subject at
this time, and sent to our represen-
tatives at Annapolis numerously
signed petitions to that effect, and
that the license advocates must
bear the responsibility for the cost
of the special election"

votes cast, while in the License districts no
party efforts were made.
Prohibition has been in effect for eleven
months, and the ceaseless vigilance of the
Good Templars and other Temperance
workers has secured good enforcement OF
the law.
The excellent results were 80 apparent that
a delegation of the best citizens of the coun-
ty, prominent merchants, lawyers and cler-
gymen, went before the Legislature, and
protested against any action looking to-
wards changing this state of things.
Despite the urgent pleas however, the
Legislature not only ordered re-submis-
sion of the question, to a vote of the peo-
pie in the November election, but actually
repealed the operation Of the present law,
SO that the sale of liquor will be unrestrain-
ed until the people determine the matter.
Thus the hard labor of years was made
fruitless by evil legislation.
There is power enough among the Temper
ance people of Garrett county to prevent
such outrages, IL partisan feeling could be
laid aside and union OF political elements
on the Prohibition basis be secured. Pro-
hibitionIsts to the rescue!
