ED FREEMAN Just now when
the enemies of the Prohibition
party are throwing their hot shot
into our camp, and trying to de-
moralize our forces, it may not be
amiss to state the views of the
Home forces of this section.
Our forces here are compact and
aggressive, expecting to vote for
the Amendment as a'non-partisan'
measure, but would vote for it even
if it was regarded as a Republican
or Democratic proposition. Our
interest in the welfare of our fellow
citizens is not confined by either
party or State lines. Our people
regard the Prohibition question as
national one and that individ ual
responsibility does not end by the
adoption of local laws, and as long
as the liquor traffic is licensed in
any part of the United States, SO
long must the fight continue. We
belong to neither of the old parties !;
their abuse like their advice is gra-
tuitous and worth all it costs US,
nothing more. We have not lost
q voter here by detection since our
organization, nearly four years ago,
and as for our gains,we don't count
until after a man has voted the
National ticket.
We are Satisfied to leave Judge
Ferguson in the hands of Mr.. Cars
kadon, but we pity the court where
man presides who descends to
abuse when preconceived opinions
are shown to be false.
A large majority of our good citi-
zens expect to vote for the Amend
ment, but there will be plenty of
work for the friends Of Home.
The question of third party
nomination sprung by Democratic
and Republican politicians is not
debatable. They are welcome to
the empty collars and letters as we
have no further use for them.

RICHIE REPUBLICANS.
They Organize but Avoid the
Main Issue.
AUBURN. W. Va, Jan. Is, 'SS,

DEAR FREEMAN:
Not long since the Republicans
met in the Masonic Hall and pro-
ceeded to organize a Republican
Club, with 35 or 40 signers to their
Constitution, in which the signers
endorsed, unequivocally, the ''prin-
ciples of the Republican party"
In said constitu ton, not a single
sentence was incorporated in favor
Of Local Option, Temperance, Pro-
hibitory Amendment nor Prohi-
bition.
Is it not little surprising that
an organized Club claiming to be
mart Of an organized political party
which pretends to be a prohibition
marty, would thus ignore one of the
most vital and important issues
now claiming the attention of the
sovereign voters of the grandest
government under the sun? What
are the principles of the Republi-
can party if not, as one of their po-
liticaI brethren in the county said
to me, Anything to defeat the
Democratic party" It's principles
are not for prohibition, surely, as
witness Ohio, Michigan, etc.,
where the party is in power.
After the organization came the
speeches. One said, We don't
want the war whoop' raised" and
another seemingly could do moth
ing else but talk of'the war. Was
there any Prohibition talk, did you
ask? Well, yes, a little. One
gentleman said, " l am as good
prohibitionist as any man, and
when the proper time comes will
vote for it; and just here let me
say l am of the opinion that we
will never have prohibition until
it is brought about by one of the
old parties"
Here let me say that the straight
out Third party 6 prohips will
not trust either of the old parties
on their profession of faith" until
they have redeemed themselves.
The Democrats in Texas and other
Democratic states, and the Repub.
licans in Michigan and other Re-
publican states have repeatedly
made loud professions of temper
anee, then proceeded deliberately
and treacherously to defeat Prohi-
bition Constitutional Amendments.
| think there is lack of consistency
when man says, | am as good a
prohibitionist as any man." and at
the same time pledges himself to
support the principles Of party
with such questionable Temper
ance principles as are held by the
Republican and Democratic parties.
The foregoing quotation was all
that was said upon this vital ques-
ton.
Officers elected were as follows:
Pres, J, G. Gluck, Vioe-Pres. G. L.
Zinn, Secy. A. W. Westfall and
Treas. Rev. J. A. Blagg.
In these organizations they SEEM
ed SO fearful that a discussion
might arise, that they prohibited,
by constitutional provision, all
talk, save by members of the club.
How different this from Prohibi-
ton clubs, where the freest and
fullest discussion is always invited,
OBSERVER.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-01-25

any people. Can't your committee
arrange so that she can visit this
end of the State about A pril? Also
can't you send extra copies of the
FREEMAN for distribution? l will
use all you send me where they
will do good. Although the
Amendment, like pure and undefil-
ed religion, is good for all, yet it
must be preached and urged upon
the people. Some say, "Let whis.
KY alone and it will let you alone"
We might as we'll say, "Let the
Devil alone and he will let us
alone" But he won't let US alone,
SO long as he is loose in the world.
The FREEMAN should invite cor
respondence from Prohibitionists
all over the state, asking them to
give their views as to the policy of
the Third Party" as our enemies
term us. | for one am for organic
ing thoroughly and vigorously,
from school district up. Let exc
cutive committees of our very
best men be selected, giving the
women fair representation, so as
to represent all the people. Then
we should call county mass conven-
tions in April, and select our very
best men as candidates. Then we
must declare for woman's suffra &c.
A Striking Illustration.
Tell me woman isn't competent
to vote! Tell me that wife, who
will walk two miles through a
burning July sun, with her three
little children, hunting her drunk
en- husband, and finding him
beastly drunk, wallowing in his
vomit by the railroad track, will
stand for hours shading him from
the scorching sun, and wiping the
filth and sweat from his face amid
his rawlings and cursings-tell me
that that wife may not be trusted
with the ballot while that husband
can vote This picture was real

Wholesale Grocers, Association.

New York, September 22.-An even.
ing paper says: The report of a meeting
of representatives of the Sugar Trust and
Wholesale Grocers' Association, which
appeared in the papers last evening, can
be supplemented to-day by some highly
important information regarding the
Wholesale Grocers' Association. While
this organization goes under the name of
an association, it is practically COM
bination made to meet monopoly, and is
peculiar illustration of the operation of
the natural laws of trade. The
Association was formed for the ex-
pressed purpose of fighting the Sugar
Trust, but subsequently, it was deter
mined to control other branches of the
grocery trade. A prominent merchant
informed a reporter that the meeting
yesterday was the second step to form a
powerful combination, both to control
the Sugar Trust and the retail grocery
trade. The first step was taken at a
meeting some weeks ago, and the pur-
pose was by organizing to compel the
Trust to sell sugar to members of the
Association exclusively at a rebate Of
one-half cent per pound. F. w. In
busch, of Milwaukee, was elected Secre-
tary, and he has just sent out a circular
in which it is stated that the grocers
must offset the Sugar Trust by similar
organization.

A BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Canada Lays Claim to Gold Field.
i'm Alaska.


New YORK, September pa special
from Ottawa, Ont, says: A matter which
may strongly tend to strengthen the al
ready strained relations between the
Dominion and the United States has
presented itself in connection with the
limits of jurisdiction of points adjacent to
the boundary line between Alaska and
British Columbia. As the result of a
recent investigation it is reported here
that the valuable gold fields which have
been discovered, and which are now
being worked on the Youkon River, are
in British Columbia, not United States
territory, as all along has been supposed.
These gold fields are represented to be
of great value, and as American officers
in Alaska dispute the claim that
the deposits are in British terri
tory, conflict between the miners
who believe they are working on United
States territory, and the British authori-
ties, who assert their jurisdiction, is
feared. The Provincial Government of
British Columbia is now issuing mining
permits, and in the absence of any
definite international boundary line, it
cannot but follow that in many instances
they are granted without knowledge as
to whether they are in British or United
States territory. II is evident that the
time has arrived when serious inter-
national omplications may be only
averted by a definite location of the
boundary between Alaska and British
Columbia.

PETALUMA, September 22.-This morn
ing about daylight the old barn of A
Clark, half way between Petaluma ant
Santa Rosa, was set on fire and abou
the same time Henry Himebauch's barr
and. a straw stack belonging to T. Cook
in the same neighborhood, were free
and burned. Two wagonloads of grain
belonging to Mr.. Davis on the Comstock
place, were about the same time badly
damaged by having the sacks ripped
open and the grain scattered upon the
ground. Two boys about 16 years old
were suspected and the people of the
neighborhood followed and arrested
them near Santa Rosa, where they live.
After hanging them a short time it is
said they confessed their guilt.

The Etruria beats the Record.

New YORK, September 22.-It is stated
in shipping circles that the Etruria has
eclipsed the best record for the ocean
voyage. She was reported off Fire Island
at S:35 M. 1t is reckoned that she
made the trip in six days, one hour and
fifty minutes, gain of thirty minutes
over the best previous record. 1t was
reported at noon that for some unknown
reason she has been ordered to quaran-
tine. She carries six hundred cabin
passengers.
When the Etrurias' log was consulted
on her arrival from Liverpool it was
learned that she had made the trip in
days, hour and 80 minutes, the best
time ever made. Her average daily run
was 400 knots.

A Sad Accident to Little Children
SkidmOre Fountain Unveiled.

PORTLAND, Ogn., September 22.-The
down train from Dayton ran over two
small children of J. E. Bergman, near
Berryman's Station, this afternoon.
The youngest child, aged eighteen
months, had its arm and leg cut off; the
other child, aged three years, was thrown
on the cowcatcher and only slightly in
jured. A gale of wind was blowing at
the time and the dust prevented the en-
gineer from seeing the children, until
the train was almost upon them. Physi-
clans were sent from this city on a spe.
cial train and brought the youngest child
to the hospital. 1t has fair chance o.
recovery.
This afternoon Skidmore Fountain was
formally turned over to the city. The
presentation address was made by G. E
s. Wood. The unveiling of the fountain
and the ceremonies were witnessed by 6
large crowd and attended by all the
municipal officials.
