Trade has been fairly good to-day in

been so busy IS through the first part Of
the week, they have had better trade than
on any previous Friday this yesr.
The muddy condition OF the reads has
prevented farmers from keeping the re-
ceipts OF grain up to the average, but the
demand for feed is quite brisk.
Produce is still scarce.
Cotton is coming in in small quantities

tinues to be done by nail and telegraph,
the personal buying being still rather
restricted by the absence of large nun
bers from the market owing in a measure
to the rather inclement weather prevail
ing. The regular jobbiDg trade is rather
quiet for the same reason. Price ad-
vsuces in many lines of cottons continue
to be features of the trade. Deliveries
are of Il large volume, The low prices CT

The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-08-15

The indianapolis Journal strenuously
denies that Gen. Harrison is in favor Of
prohibition, but extols him as a temper
ante man. The question arises in our
mind, what is temperance man?
When VIC are told by one Of the ladies
who circulated the petition for a scientific
Temperance instruction law in Indiana in
1885. that she called on Gen. Harrison at
his home and presented the petition for
his signature and he declined to sign it,
although he thought it a good thing. we
are puzzled to know what kind of q tenn
perance man he is, when, for policy's
sake, the influence of his name
was withheld in shat wise and well
directed effort for the promotion Of tenn
pcrauce" in his own state. Now, we
want to give honor to whom honor is due,
and since "a temperance man has come
to mean one who favors and helps on eff
forts made for the promotion of temper
ance IN other ways than by personal ex-
ample. would it not be well to distinguish
between Temperance" and temperate"
in applying these terms to Gen. Harrison
and say he is temperate" man, for SUCH
50 far as wo know, he is.-lndiana Or

Tho Universal Evil.

These words of Cardinal Manning may
be commended to the trainers and sup
porters of the Republican free whisky and
the Democratic 'anti-sumptuary'' plat
FORMS His eminence says: For thirty
FIVE years have been priest and bishop in
London; and now l approach my eightieth
year have learned some lessons, and the
first thing is this: The chief bar to the
working of the holy spirit of God in the
souls of men and women is Intoxicating
drink know no antagonist tOthat good
spirit more direct, more subtle, more
stealthy, more ubiquitous than intoxicat-
ing drink. Though l have known men
and women destroyed for all manner of
reasons, yet know no cause that affects
man, woman, child and home with such
universally and steady power as intoxi-
eating drink"

yino and Shirt Trade Approves.

On the last day of the prolonged session
of the Republican convention the follow
ing empty declaration was added to the
platform. viz:
The first concern of good government
is the virtue and sobriety of the people
and the purity of the home. The Repub-
lean party cordially sympathizes with all
wise and we'll directed efforts for the pro-
motion of temperance and morality"
And, pray, who withholds endorsement
from such propositions as these? In be-
half of the wine and spirit trade, we
hereby accord this declaration our unre-
served approval, The man who would do
otherwise would be very apt to contend
that two and two do not make four.-Bon-

Prohibition and High License

The following is a comparative state
ment of the cases of drunkenness for the
corresponding periods of 1887 and 1888 in
Atlanta Ga:
1885 June 1st to 9th, inclusive, 50 cases.
1881 June LIST to 24th inclusive, az cases.
Excess chargeable to '''high license" 40 cases.
This showing is taken from the books,
and needs no elaborate commentary
nearly double the number of "drunks"

with the same time under prohibition

tabulated and unseen world of domestic
misery and woe that turks behind these

City Life In the Summer.

And they who stay in the city? Heat, Of
course, they have; it is summer, and heat
is healthy, perspiration is healthy, and if
they are warm, and if they perspire, then
they have the privilege of the heat and
perspiration in privacy, and while unex-
posed to foreign eyes and gossiping
tongues. They have the privilege of
their own house, privilege which the
travellers are looking back to with more
than doubtful regret, the sweep of all the
rooms in it for the breeze, space to draw
the bed at night into the way of any
breath of air, just touching the draught
enough for comfort, and escaping it
enough for safety, the impossible draught
which those abiding in their little one
windowed cells away from home are long
ing for in vain, and theirs is unlimited
water, cold water by the tubful, hot water
at a touch; and rejecting on it all, surely
so far as mere physical comfort goes,
they arc mere simpletons who would bar
ter these four privileges of room, air,
water and retirement for any of the de-
lights of gay life, of hops and climbs at
the mountains, of sails and strolls at the
seaside.
But there are other pleasures in reserve
for these city people quite the equal of
these outside pleasures. To say nothing
of the agreeableness of social neighbor-
hoods, where people linger out the soft
evenings on the doorsteps, family visiting
family from stoop to stoop, there are the
steamer excursions out to sea, up river,
or ON the broad smooth water; there are
drives through the parks in stately car
riages for those that can afford them, in
more common conveyances, giving quite
as rational and healthy enjoyment for
those that can afford only street cars, and
strolls and rambles and domestic picnics
without number and without price, till it
seems that. one would be unreasonable
who asked for more. - Harper's Bazaar

A Crime or a Blundcr?

While The Independent supports the
free whisky policy of the Republican
party, it is candid enough to ridicule Bou-
telles absurd Temperance and morality"
plank. 1t says that 1.-The platform com
mittee made a very great mistake in not
reporting an anti-saloon plank, and the
convention made a mistake when it tried
to correct that of its committee in not
adopting a more definite expression in
favor of temperance"
Now, DR.. Carroll did the Republican
convention commit worse than crime
q blunder?"

west Virginia w. c. T. Q. Declares for
prohibition and n Prohibition PARTY

The West Virginia W. G. T. U. had
,rarm discussion over the following reso-
linton, but it was adopted by good ma
jority:
-igbteous way with all who will cooper
ote with us for the ratification of the
amendment; and as constitutional
amendment, ito be effective, must have "a
favorable political force back of 1T ta,en-
force it, so we declare our allegiance TO
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
nerance union, and give our sympathy to
That party which declares Tor the home
and against the saloon.
In the discussion preceding the adop-
+ion of the resolution Mrs Johnson, the
noble president of the State union. gave
strong reasons therefor.
She argued that the work of the
Womans Christian union in its efforts to
secure the prohibition of the liquor traffic,
was dependent on political parties, mas
much as political parties elect legislatures,
which alone can make laws; that the
creed of the union was on parallel lines of
the platform of the Prohibition party, and
TO be consistent and logical the w. &c. Il.
q. must declare its sympathies with the
marty that declares for the home and
against the ssaloon, when it finds such a
party; that the records of the two
dominant parties, state and national,
made it impossible for the W. C. T. U. to
fraternize with them; that i'm this state,
while they were laboring specially for the
submissiom,o of the amendment, the Re-
publican convention voted down sub
mission plank, and the same plank was
smothered in the Democratic committee
on resolutions.
She believed in the necessity of polit-
ical force TO give effect to the amendment
we are laboring to secure, and she could
not see how the union could do other
than declare for the Prohibition party.

telephone Message from Halstead-Cood
Republican Authority.

The Boutelle resolution was simply a
piece of sentimentalism-equ harm
less and unnecessary. If it had meant
anything it wouldn't have been with the
platform passed
There is nothing the matter with the
resolution, which is as vague in the pos.
slbllities of application as it is beautiful
IN its outlines. The greatest platform of
the Republican party after all is its glori-
Gus history and the character of its can
