ings, since the able sermon by Rev.
Geo. E. Hite on the real Politics of
the Day, on Sunday last at the M.
E. Church. Bro. Hlte's sermon
was full of politics from text to
amen, and just such politics as
should ring from every pulpit in
West Virginia till the abominable

ment and appeal for votes for the

passed resolutions condeming the

did whereupon the Journal, with

republished them to the world,
with an air of vicious triumph
that would say, Ha Ha See what

Methodist Politics.

The Maine M. E. Conference in
session at Portland in April, 1888,
adopted the following:
"Past experience has more than
demonstrated that any hope of pro.
curing prohibitory legislation from
either of the two great National
parties, in their present attitude,
must prove abortive and worse
than useless. And,
Whereas, The supporters of the
rum power protect it by refusing
to vote for any party or person
committed to Prohibition there
fore,
Resolved, That we will not sup
port in National, State, or muni-
cipal elections, any party or person
who is not thoroughly and une-
quivocally committed to the prin-
ciple and practice of prohibition"
Wouldn't it be well tor the State
Journal, to suspend its war on the
W.C.T.U. for a spell, and devote it's
attention to boycotting our Metho-
dist brethren, since they have gone
"into the political swim," far in
advance of the good women?

A Timely Resolution.

A ringing Temperance Report
was adopted at the recent Buck
harmon District M. E. Conference,
and among a series of excellent re-
solutions was the following:
5th. We caution the friends of
the Amendment against the efforts
that its enemies are putting forth
TO mislead and to create the i'm
preston that the Amendment is in
the interest of this or that political
party. Believe them not, out vote
with the party of your choice, and
at the same time vote for the
Amendment.
This declaration is most timely,
pointed and sound in every partic-
ular. Those who raise the cry that
the Amendment is in the interest
of the Third Party" are hypocrit-
ical enemies Of the cause, just as
those are enemies who peddle the
cry that the "Third party" is hurt
ing the Amendment. Let the
Amendment be urged on it's merits
and let all parties take care of
themselves.

Wolf in Sleeps Clothing.

One Rev. Sykes, of Ohio, seems
to be special favorite of the Liq-
uor men. And well they may be
proud Of him.
The Devil always counts it a
"ten strike" when he can get a
preacher to aid in his Satanic work
of leading souls to perdition.
This Rev. Sykes is engaged in
the despicable business Of pervert-
ing and misinterpreting Bible
texts in the interests of the Liquor
Triffic, and the Liquor men are
flooding the State with his sac

pie against his wicked work.

ton of the good women sorely hurts
the State Journals politics, hence
its persistent, petty, spiteful thrusts
at the W. G. T. U. Its demagogy
is OF such low grade as to disgust
all honest, fair minded readers of
it's persistent filings and misrepre-
sensations.
In search of something to misap-
propriate to the possible disad-
vantage Of this organization of
Christian Women, the Journal for
ager finds among the "plate mat
ter" in last FREEMAN, an account,
edited in New York Of the discus
sion on the W. e. T. U. resolution,
that it has assailed and misrepre-
sented but tailed to print ever
since the convention. And after
copying This, the only fair report it
ever gave its readers of that part
of the discussion, it adds this in
sidious and pernicious comment:
GAS this appears in the paper
edited by Mrs. Johnson's husband,
we hope we have heard the last of
the denials that the W. G. T. U. is
a political organization"
The Journal well knows that it
has heard no denials, through the
FREEMAN, chat the W. G. T. U. is
a political organization" nor has
it ever heard of any such denials
coming from the State President,
whom it persistently misre presents
and assails. This is simply one of
the Journals men Of straw, which
it sets up to knock down when it
hasn't the courage to face honest
facts and arguments.
The FREEMAN has always insist
ed that the W. G. T. U. is and ever
since it's inception has been essen
TALLY political organization. 1t
was organized to Secure the Legal
Prohibition of the Liquor Traffic"
and it is in the arena of politics
that it has been making its irresis-
tible power felt i; and just here is
where 1t hurts.
It is the conflict between W. G.
T. U. politics that fights the Rum
power, and old party politics that
favors the Saloon, that has created
all this inharmonious hubbub. It
is this that has drawn the Journals
batteries of Greek Fire into vicious
action.
Every intelligent observer of the
advancing Temperance Reform
knows that all effective work for
Prohibition touches politics, and
that too at the most vital points.
Hence all this wincing and wicked
cutlery.
The discussion IN the w. G. T. U.
convention was almost wholly as to
the policy of declaring a truth
recognized by nearly all the mem.
bers. 1t was simply question of
whether Christian Women should
boldly stand by their convictions of
right and duty, at the risk of all this
fire of partisan hate that is now
being rained upon them. They
dared take the risk and time will
prove the wisdom of their brave
stand.
Instead of plying them with pei
ty partisan railleries, about going
into the political SWIM" as does
the Journal, true men and women,

ness to principle and for their cour-
age to proclaim their conscientious
convictions; and the good sisters
