After excellent meetings at3Vol-

We hope friends will send US the
names without delay for publica-

of cowardice, or the very dregs of

1t is to this class of papers and
to politicians and party men gen.
orally, who spend their time grum-
bling, swapping and whacking at
the Prohibition party, instead of
joining heartily in organizing all
the Home forces of the State for
this desperate conflict with the
Saloons-it is, these we say, Isn't

to a0ork for the Amendment?
While a number of our leading
papers are willing to allow the Pro-
hibition party at least little bit
of room in the earth if it wants it.
yet it is notorious that the press of
the State generally is as violent in
its p.oscriptlve and boycotting
spirit towards the Prohibitionists
as it is loud in it's laudations of the
"Grand Old Parties" of Lincoln,
and of Jefferson.
And now in conclusion; the
FREEMAN never proposes policy
it is not willing to follow. If it is
being guilty of any "meaness" in
the conduct of this Campaign, let
it be pointed out, that it may quit
it and make amends. It wants
to be broad and generous in this
mighty conflict. 1t insists that
party papers should defend their
parties Oh their merits, and assail
opposing parties by pointing out
their dement's, and that the

ting at the "Third party" and
stubbornly refuse to say word or
strike lick for the Amendment.
There is certainly some limit to
the meanness of such a course,
and the honest masses OF both the
old parties are of opinion that the
politicians have already passed far
beyond all reason and common
sense on this line, and are raising
the inquiry all over the State,
"Is'nt it time to quit your mean
ness and go to work for the Amend
ment? a.
What is the situation in West
Virginia to-day? The Prohibition
Amendment has been submitted
and is pending before the people.
Neither the Repu blican nor Dom
ocrat party dared to endorse or
favor the measure, and in all the
conventions held this year. neither
has dared to mention the Amend
ment nor in any way refer to the
pending con fict between the
Homes and Saloons of our State.
And yet. all over.the State the press
generally is filled with spiteful
threats and venomous attacks
against the only party that has the
courage to declare and work tor the
Amendment. Papers tell US in
their editorials, with remarkable
uniformity, showing all the method
of partisan conspiracy, that "Our
party is the friend of Temperance"
1.-THE only party that ever did any
thing for the cause" and that it is
high treason for Prohibitionists
not to support "Our Grand Old
Party" and yet the editors are as
silent as the grave on the one
great issue before the people, and
the party conventions are utterly
ignoring the Amendment with all
the vast interests involved in its
fate.
The honest Temperance masses
in the party are becoming very

The author of ''On Blue Water" gives
some curious observations upon the man
ner in which we recover possession OF
our senses whenever we are awakened.
He thinks that it is the sense which is
most violently assailed that is first to
wake up. He says:
II know no place where q man has so
many opportunities for observing the
phenomena attending the awakening from
sleep as on board ship, where half the
people are awakened from sound sleep at
least three times a day.
Often the bright light of my cabin
lamp, just lighted, has been visible to me
some seconds before l could hear or I'M
derstand that / was being called to get
up. / have often called a man, and re.
ceived an answer which led me to believe
hat he was wide awake, though he was
unconscious of having answered at all.
You may even hold a long and animated
conversation with some men at eight bells
without waking them up."-Youth's Com
