OUR high-tsIifr Republican contempt
raries delight to refer to the panics that
occasionally spraDg up while low tarif
-xas in operation, and I" tr7 to make their
readers believe that they had some connec-
ton with the tariff. They studiously
avoid referring to the terrible psnics that
have occurred under high tariff, notably
in 1872 3, when banks all over tae coun-
try were crashing like cornstalks in hail
storm, and when Wheeling hsd to start
public sOup.houses to accommodate the
starving tramps that threnged the high
ways. They avoid noticing the present
state of depression in trade, except now
and then when some fool editor endeayors
to trace it to tariff tinkering," which
wont serve as an explanation, since the de-
preston antedates the present tariti sgita-
ton by nearly o year. They avoid noting
the startling number of millionaires that
are to be found On the one hand and the
more startling and rapidly increasing num-
Der of tramps that are to be found on the
other, 10 this high tariff year Of our Lord

IA Hould restrict the trade.

- .4se would restrict the trade. No
capital, responsibility, or hackers is
necessary TO run o saloon under prohibit
ton, hence there would be about treble
the number of them there are now-and
such places!
Why do the prohibitiOnists wish to force
this wretched state of things on Wheeling ?
Their own prohibition witnesses tell them
that the trade cannot be stopped in the
cities, and they have already prohibition
laws in the country districts. 1t would
simply be q rank injustice to Ohio county.
By an overwhelming majority the people
of Ohio county are against prohibition and
in favor of judicious system of license.
Have not they the right togovern themselves
in this matter? But say they have not the
legal right would it be fair to thrust upon
them a law that would be obnoxious to
them, degrading and costly? Whculd it
not be a species of tyranny? For, look
you, Ohio county, and one or twosimilsrly
situated, are all that would be affected.
We can not see that the cause of temper
snce would be helped one iOta by the
adoption of the proposed amendment or
that anything but evil to Ohio and other
similarly situated counties would come

PARKERsBURG, VA, May %, 1888.
To he Editor Of the Register.
At our next Democratic State Conven-
ton, Judge Okey johnson win be present.
ed as candidate for second term for lodge
Of the Court of Appeals of this State. His
peculiar fitness for the Office, his stern
devotion TO duty, his delicate sense Of
honor, heart loyal to impartial justice,
his high moral charscter-should guarantee
to him the nomination without opposi-
ton.
Judge johnson was born in Tyler coun-
ty in 1884, near Long Reach. he is now
in the prime OF life, In vigorous manhood,
with an active, strong, and cultivated
mind. He graduated from Harvard Law
School with the degree of L. l.. b.
conferred in 1853, and settled In
Parkersburg, Wood county, in the
year 1862, where he remained in the
active practice of his profession for four
teen years, when, in 1876, he was elected
as one of the Judges of the Supreme Court
of Appeals, in which position he has dis
tinguished himself as being wise, hon
est, able and impartial jurist; and not only
does Democratic precedence suggest that
his official character should be Endorsed by
a denomination and reelection, but his
honest and faithful labors and Christian
character makes the application of the
precedence doubly strong In politics,
Judge johnson has, from earliest man
hood, been o true and fearless advocate Of
the principles Of Jeff.rsonian Democracy;
and in the darkest hours of his party, when
partisan feeling and prejudice ran high,
and when the name OF being Democrat
was sufficient to call forth bitter personal
denunciations and social ostracism the
voice of Judge johnson was heard in the
midst of excitement and confusion remind
ing the people that Democratic principles
were the only true foundation to q repub-
lican form Ofpure, patriotic and free gov
eminent; aud TO its success he contributed
largely of his time and means.
His career as iurist on our supreme
bench Is well and favorably known by the
members of the bar OF our State, as also by
thousands who do not belong to the legal
profession. His decisions which are found
in % volumes Of our Supreme Court Reports,
are clear, brief and pointed, and rank
with those of the distinguished appellate
Judges, whose able and learned rulings
and DEGREES have made the name Of the
Supreme Court of Virginia a judicial
standard for over q century, and the i'm.
press of his legal accumen can be seen and
traced in every volume of the reports Of
nrkf or
Many of the terse and comprehensive
sentences contained in Judge Johnson's
decisions have been transferred by legal
text writers into their works. The people
of West Virginia as well as the legal pro-
fession could not afford to lose him from
the Supreme Bench of our State. J. G.

A NOTEWORTHY OPINION.

II is expected that PATRICK A. COL

in such selection, as Mr.. COLLINS is in
entire sympathy with the prospective

PROHIBITION.


In another column we print communi-
cation from Rev. FRANCIS N. LYNCH, Of
Cameron, who has been TO good deal of
trouble writing to prominent gentlemen Of
Maine to learn how the prohibition law up
there really does work. The revsrned
gentleman is Satisfied, from the informa-
ticn thus cleaned, that prohibition is a
success in Maine and would be q SUCCESS in
West Virginia.
Let us see. Let rs examine some Of
Reverend Mr.. LYNCH's own witnesses.
Congressman NELSON DINGLEY, take the
stand. He says:
persons occasionally visit two or three
of our cities for the purpose of finding
something to show that the law is q failure
and very naturally find what they are
seeking"
That will do, Mr.. DISaLEY. Senator
FRYE will take the stand. Mr.. FRYE
says:
"Whererer IL has been persiste'Itly ereeuted
it has been very effectual."
Hon. NEAL Dow will stepup. Says Mr..
Dow:
"One million will more than pay for all
the liquor smuggled into the State and sold
in violation of the law"
Very good. The fact is proven, then.
that whis&ey is sold in Maine, that prohi-
bition in Maine prohibits only in the coun-
try-thst the seeker after tangle-foot can g. I
about all he wants in the cities. This is con-
coded, we believe, by the above witnesses,
all honorable gentlemen and friends Of
prohibition.
II Maine is satisfied with this sort Of pro-
hibitiOn well and good. She is welcome
to it.
Bat West Virgins wants none Of it.
Why should she want prohibition that only
prohibits in the country districts, even in
Maine? We have such prohibition already.
OF our fifty-four counties forty odd have
local option, now. All that a State law
would accomplish would be toadeprive the
city of Wheeling of from SIS, 600 to $780,
900 revenue annually, and other cities in
proportion. Do the prohibitionists think
for q moment that ii would keep whisky
out of Wheeling? Their own witnesses
confess that it does not keep whisky out
of the comparatively isolated cities OF
Maine, yet how much more improbable is
it that prohibition would diminish the sale
in Wheeling, which is contiguous TO two
whisky States? A little ride to Bellsire or
Martins Ferry and hack, few minutes
journey to and from Bridgeport, and all
the whisky that is wanted could be snug
gled into Wheeling.
In short while the liquor and beer
wagons would be pouring over the bridge
openly. Then would start into existence
swarm of low dives, sinks CT vice and
"kitehen-groggeries" such as infest the
cities of Maine, instead of the few well
regulated and deeently and carefully con-
Quoted saloons to which good system OF

GRANDMA" GARFIELD, the mother OF
the late President, James Garfield, died at
five O'Clock Saturday morning at the
home of Mrs. Garfield, at Mentor. She
had been failing for two months, the re-
suit of old age. .----.
Eliza Ba1lou Garfield was born Septem-
Der 25th, 1902, at the foot of Mount
Monadnock, N. H., and married Abram
Garfield of Watertown, Mass, in 1927,
going to Orange Cuyahoga county, Ohio,
in 1884, when her eldest child, Thomas
Garfield, now of Grand Rapids, Mich,
was six years of age. She was woman
of strong sense and spirit, and had a
singular capacity for managing and edu-
eating children. Abram Garfield died
when Tom, the eldest boy, was ten years
old, leaving his widow with four children
and cabin in the woods. Her care and
energy produced one of Americas great
est public men and carried the family in
respectable poverty to the point where it
could make It's own way. James A. Gar
field was her pride and Joy, and she aged
very rapidly from the day that Guiteau's
bullet struck him down. On December

CONGRESSIONAL.

The announcement of the candidacy of
Gov. Barto for congress, meets with the
favor which was not wholly unanticipat-
ed, although the enthusiasm with which it
Is received exceeds the sanguine expecta-
tions of his friends. And the cause is not
obscure. His fitness is acknowledged,
his availability appreciated, and his
claims recognized throughout the district.
He has a strong hold upon the sympa-
thies Of the rank and file, to whom he is
and ever has been, freely accessible on all
occasions. To him the entire district is
familiar as his own home. Few men in
it have had occasion to become better ac-
quainted with it, and with the breadth
and iberality for which heis conspicuous
every part and portion of it would re
ceive equal consideration. His political
friends are not confined to any locality,
clique or wing. He has ever stood by
the party in its entirety, and his energy
has been at its disposal. No matter how
high feeling may have run in convention,
NOR whether he was the successful or the
defeated candidate for nomination, when
the convention had expressed its choice,
Gov. Barto has ever given his active al
legiance to such candidate. His friends
now ask that these disinterested services
be bourne in mind and duly recognized.
