ED. FREEMAN -
/ like the FREEMAN for all the
good work it is doing in all it's de.
partments. I have been in this
temperance work all my life. l
will never cease to do battle for the
Amendment until the victory is
won and rum-selling and rum
drinking are blotted out and our
State is no longer disgraced with
the damning work of the saloon.
And surely We should all study the
best means to accomplish this
work.
Professor P. B. Reynolds, in q late
issue of the FREEMAN asks q very
important question. He inquiries,
"How will your voting against the
Amendment damage the 90 called
Third Party'"? answer not in
the least. And nothing good can
result from such q course. Spite
work wont win. But on the other
hand, if the Amendment is defeat
cd by either or both Of tho old
parties (and especially by the Re.
publican party it win be the death
knell to the latter. In such an
event thousands of Temperance
Republicans would turn away
from her ranks for having defeated
this great measure. Let Republi.
cans and Democrats vote solid for
the Amendment and thereby do
away with the necessity of q Third
party.
And DOW I want 10 ask Professor
Reynolds and our Third party
friends a few questions:
1. What reason has the Third
party for antagonizing either of
the old parties in their fight for the
Amendment?
2. Will their denouncing the old
parties add votes for the Amend
ment or strength to the 60 called
"Third party?
8. Is this the time to make war
on any person except tho rum-sel-
Ter and bis internal traffic?
4. Why does the Third party
seek to champion the Amendment
when in fact there was not q Third
party man in the Legislature when
the Amendment was submitted?
8. Why concern yourselves about
the death OF this or that party ?
Why not direct your efforts for the
Amendment and let parties take
care of themselves? The only
hope Of the rumseller in West
Virginia is dissension and strife
in the ranks Of the great Temper
ance army. A successful man in
any business courts the favors of
all men by kind words, and hates
no man. Even the wicked rum
seller courts favors and is busy or.
ganizing his forces with the great
est care and precaution, while the
Temperance workers are contend.
ing about their parties.
Fall into line, friends. Lay off
your robes of prejudice and OLSEN
sion and let us give the Amendment
an overwhelming majority in Nov.
1888. Ritohie county lie good for

THE MILLS BILL, WITH FREE
t- WOOL HELPS rdB MARKET.

At the time of the supposed flop of a
Plain township wool grower, from Dem
to Rep. on account of the Mills bill
putting wool on the free list, the Hon.
J. E. Monnot published a very valuable
article in the NEws-D DEMOCRAT, in
which the wisdom of free wool was
indicated. The NEws-DEMoCRAT
observed e%ditoriarly, the following day,
that free wool, instead of further de-
pressing the WOOL market. would doubt
less improve prices, as IT would enable
our home mills to run, thereby fncreas-
ing the demand. 'tt' Ji y
Notice the result: On Saturday, the
Mills bill passed the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, with the free wool clause;
and Immediately the price of wool ad-
vanced. We print below an Associated
Press dispatch from st. Louis, bearing
directly on the point:
"ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 81. Wool 1t was
thought by many interested in wool that the
decisive vote by which the House OF Repre-
sentatives placed that article on the Tree list
would nave a disastrous effect, and that a
dull and dropping market would be the re.
suit. Precisely the opposite has been the
case, however. The market has stlfiened up
and prices are q full &c higher on all desira-
Bile well grown wools. Manufacturers have
been buying on the "hand-to-mouth" plan
ever since the opening of the season, and
now that they are receiving raIuer encour-
agin o uers Tor lne new lightweight goods
Mich they have started to make, they are
obliged TO buy the raw material. Eastern
markets are reported firm with good-sized
sales"
We take it the wool growers andtheir
friends want the facts. And we infer
that facts like the the above are worth
more to wool grower than all the
sniveling of the Pecksnifian protec-
ton howlers between the two oceans

A BIG MOVE.
A Purchase of Great Importance
at Congress Lake.
Hotel to Be Built and Grounds Fitted Up
On a Metropolitan Scale--Changes
at Lake Park, Meyers
Lake.

From recent purchases at Congress
Lake, and from information received
from a reliable source, the NEWS DEM
oCRAT can reliably inform the public
that that resort will soon be put IN the
front rank with the summer watering
places of the State. Congress Lake has
always been popular with Cantonlans'
and residents along the Cleveland *
Canton and it will now become popular
to a larger number of people
The recent purchase spoken OF was
that made by Mr.. Lorenzo Croker, a
nan of means of New Baltimore. He
has been looking about Congress Lake
for some time past and
carefully examined into the chances OF
a good investment, He has finally come
to a decision and has purchased seven
acres O fland with a frontage Of three
hundred feet along the railroad track,
lust opposite the Cleveland Il Canton
station. He has done this with a pur-
pose and having Il large amount OF
money for investment he states that
upon this property he will erect a large
summer hotel upon the most improved
plan aud place it under good manage
ment. The grounds will be lifted up IN,
fine STYLE and excellent driveways will
be made throughout the seven acres TO
connect with The county roads. The
trees will be trimmed and the swamp
grass, where there is any, removed and
walks laid out. 1t is the intention T.

condition and while this is being done

In this connection the rumor of the

what ground there is for the rumor,
probably not any. 1t is understood,
however, that when Mr.. Reymann takes
possession Of his part of the lake he
will endeavor to have some arrange
ment made to this effect, and let the
Pennsylvania company advertise it as
the summer resort on their line west Of
Pittsburg. Great improvements will
be made at that place, one being the
proposed building by Mr.. Reymann OF

The matter OF changes is interesting,
especially to the political managers. They
are fairly numerous, too, and in favor of
both parties, though the Democrats evi.
IDENTIFY have the best Of it. In $50 names
from Indiana there are ten Republicans
who declare in favor of Cleveland and
only one Democrat who will support Har.
rison, while two Democrats and one Re.
publican will favor the Prohibition can
didate. This indicates a net gain of one
vote in forty-three for the Democrats
over the vote Of 1854 for president. The.
total vote cast that year III the state was
494, 799, and, the Democratic plurality was
3.612. If the vote of Indiana were to be
taken today, therefore, the indications
are that this plurality would be increased
by over II 600 votes.
The canvass of Illinois has been par.
ticulerly thorough, and indicates that the
Prohibition party is likely. to be the
largest gniner by reflections from both
the old parties. The free whisky and to.
