PARTY AND Policy.
Preston County Has a Word.
RowLEsBuRa, w. VAL
Feb. Bird, 1883.

EDITOR FREEMAN:
Third Party Prohibitionists are
not very numerous as yet in this
county. But all, as far as l am
aware, favor steady forward par.
ty march to the front. We favor q
full ticket in the field regardless Of
the hue and cry against it by the
politicians. We favor it SO that all
who wish, can vote, and vote as
they wish. We say, let every one
who favors the Amendment be
reasonable about it, and vote in
favor of it, regardless of what action
their party may or may not take ON
it. That any reasonable man
should think of voting against the
Amendment because one of the
political parties in the field sees fit
to endorse the measure, is an in
consistency that is unworthy any
intelligent American citizen. For
my part cannot vote with any
party that refuses to endorse go
righteous measure. Itstrikes me
like this; that if any party has an
element in its ranks sufficiently
large to prevent an endorsement OF
a measure, that the same element
will be sufficient to prevent the
enforcement of the measure, should
it be carried with that party in
power. Therefore we prefer to vote
with q party that will not only en-
dorse the Amendment, but will
use all its powers TO help enforce
the law in case it shall carry.

HALLS

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sui
posed TO be incurable. For great many
years Doctors pronounced 1t local disease,
and prescribed local remedies and by con-
ktantly failing to cure with local treatm emit
pronounced 1T fncurable. Science has prov
en- Catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires q constitutional
treatment. Halls Oatarrh Cure, manufac
tured by +. j. Cheney 4 Co., Toledo, Ohio,
Is the only constitutional cure now on the
market. 1t Is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops to q teaspoonful. 1t acts dir
the system. They offer one hundred doll airs
for any case 1t fails to cure. Send for circu-
lar and testimonials. Address,

Win votes be added for the
Amendment by the old parties de-
nouncing the Third party?
3. "Is this the time to make
war upon any person except the
rum seller and bis internal traffic ?"
Yes: this is the time to make
war upon everybody and every
thing, upon every institution,
every statute, every measure, every
newspaper, every party, that helps
the runaseller and his internal tro6ic.
We make war upon the rumseller
and his Internal traffic when we
make war upon his allies.
4. "Why does the Third Party
seek to champion the Amendment
when there was not a Third
Party man in the Legislature
when the Amendment was sub
mittedT tsE+.
Unless everybody who speaks tor
the Third Party lies, it does not
seek to champion the Amendment
as a party measure, but because it
is measure of supreme Importance
to the interests of the State. Now
let me ask: Why should the old
parties object to the Third Party
championing the Amendment, if
it wants to?
5. why concern yourselves
about the death of this or that par
ty? Why not direct your efforts
for the Amendment and let parties
take care of themeselves2"
These questions, | think, would
have been more appropriately pro-
pounded to friends of the Amend
ment in all the parties So far as
the Amendment is concerned, the
proper spirit and proper action is
to desire and work for its success,
regardless of how it may affect any
party. Unfortunately, there are in
the old parties thousands of prohi-
bitionists who are afraid to speak
out and work for the Amendment
for tear it will damage their party.
l beg all such to ponder Mr. Mar.
tins questions. If there is impro-
priety in friends of the Amend
ment concerning themselves
about the death of this or that par.
ty, there is equal improperly and
harm in concerning themselves
about the life of this or that party.
Let them stand up for the Amend
ment, and "let parties take care of
themselves"-the Third Party as
we'll as the others.
A Third Party man would prob,
ably answer this question by say
ing: We are concerned about the
death of the old parties for the same
reason that they are concerned
about the death OF the Third Par
ty. We want them out of power ;
we can make q better government
than they are making. We will
make and enforce prohibition laws
and they won't.
Now l have briefly answered
these Counter questions" after a
fashion. No doubt others, compe-
tent and authorized to speak for the
Third Party, could answer them
more fully and more satisfactorily
than l have. They have suggested
many things that may cause me to
trouble the FREEMAN with further
discussion. But, for the present, l
close by emphasizing Mr.. Martins
words: 1.-THE only hope of the rum.
seller in West Virginia is OLSEN
sion and strife in the ranks of the
great Temperance army" For
Heavens cake, let all such OLSEN
sion and strife cease. Let every
enemy of the liquor traffic hear
the call: "Fall into line! Lay off
prejudice and dissension. Let US
give the Amendment an over
whelming majority"

Fate"

Reserved seats are now en- sale at Houses
music store for the first production Of
BARLEY Campbsll's famous society comedy
Fate" at the Opera House, on Monday
and Taesdsy evenings. Speaking Of the
play, the Chicago Times of recent date
says: Academy of Music. This house
opened its regular season last night with
BARLEY Campbell's society comedy in four
acts entitled Fate" Although the play
contains some crudities not noticeable in
his later works, it is an excellent produc-
ton, replete with strong situations and
genuine comedy. Miss Virginia Lee La
mar, the star of the cast, is q lady of I'M
doubted talent, possessed of a charming
personality, and acted the part of Helen
Faraday with much care and grace, being
particularly good in the emotional scenes.
Mr.. A. J. Muller, as Frank Faraday, the
erripg husband, rendered capable support
Mr.. Russell Bassett made decided bit as
Makepeace Thackery Blaize-his make up
and facial expressions were admirable.
The rest of the cast was excellent.

A FINE DISPLAY
OF Diamonds, French Bronzss, Fine China,
snd General Jewelry.

OF Diamonds, French Bronzes, Fine Cnlna,
snd General Jewelry.
The REGISTER remarked the other day
that Wheeling merchants were this year
making exceptionally elaborate p;epara-
tons for the approaching holidays.
This statement is true generally, but
particularly is it true of the jewelry estab-
lishment of I. G. Dillon & %.
Even in ordinary times the display OF
beautiful goods made by this house is the
wonder and admiration of both citizens
and strangers, go that when they announce
an exceptionally fine display, people &C
ousinted with the firm know something
worth seeing is to be presented for their
inspection. This is the announcement
they make this morning.
And in doing go, they call especial at
tention to their line of diamonds. These
stone have always been speciality with
this house, and this season they have q
larger stock than ever before. Thirty
thossnd dollars represents tie capital in
vested in their splendid array ofpure white
stones, and the diamond buyer can find
among their stock anything he may de-
sire. To facilitate the careful exsmina-
ton of diamonds, and at the same time
afford purchasers that seclusion which is
often desirable, the firm has fitted mp a
coy little Office at the rear of the store.
where purchasers csn look over the stock
submitted for their inspection at leisure.
Fine china is another of the spscialties
of Messrs. Dillon & Co. Not only have
they made large importations of the choic-
est goods themselves, but recent visit to
New York has resulted in the transfer of
the best goods to be had in the Eastern
market to their stock, with the result that
their display of fine English and French
goods has never been equaled In Wheeling.
Tomorrow they will open some fancy
pieces in Royal Worcester, which will
meet with the approval of every one Of
taste in such matters.
Fine bronzss is another strong point
with this firm. To their long array Of
statuettes and fancy pieces they have just
added masterpiece, ION the Suwanee
River" which excltes the admiration Of
every one whose attention is attracted to
it. This piece, like most of the large
stock, is in fine French bronze, and is a
work of art the like of which is seldom
seen in Wheeling.
These are but few of the specialties Of
the Messrs. Dillon & Co. As general jew
elers they excel as easily as 10 the psrticu-
lars mentioned, and all who desire to OBJ
tain the best holi1ay goods at the most
reasonable prices, should visit their estab.
lishment in preference to aay other in the
CITY.
