NO PERSONAL LIBERTY FOR
THE SALOON.

] Mrs. CLINTON Sm1Cn writes the Union
Signal from Washington, D. c., as
follows:
DEAR UNION SIGNAL;-I this period
when much attention is given to the
race problem, and the present status
/ and the future prospects of the negro
or Afro American is being discussed
by leading minds, it will interest
white -ribboners to know that our
newest national organizer, Mrs.
Rosetta E. Lawson, has already begun
her work among the colored churches
of the District of Columbia. Her ex-
perience as local superintendent of
work among colored people now
stands her in good stead. I attended
large meeting held in the nineteenth
street Baptist church last evening,
over which she presided with intelli-
gence. This is wealthy and high
toned colored church, whose pastor,
Rev. Walter Ell. Brooks, is a far
farmed colored temperance orator.
During thej meeting he used about
fifteen minutes in canvassing the
Wanted personal liberty of the saloon
keeper.
He said, ''Of all the people in the
world the keeper of a saloon is the
last man to speak of personal liberty
for he has none, absolutely none
to prosecute his business. He
hangs upon the favor of others, and
is a suppliant at the doors of his
neighbors."
He then described the condition of
him who in slavery days was sent by
his master from home. He was in
variably provided with paper wit
Messing to his identy and his errand
as a safeguard against arrest. A
colored man, though a free man,
carried such a paper, nor dared to go
abroad without it. He considered it
his most precious possession. "Such
person." said the speaker, "could
not boast of personal liberty, nor can
the saloon keeper. His power to
prosecute his bushes depends upon
a piece of paper, called a license.
Sometimes it is exceedingly difficult
for him to get this piece of paper. In
the first place, he must prove his good
moral character and several other
things equally difficult, and then he
must pay many hundred dollars to
the city. Also he must pay to the
United States government twenty five
n oil
other internal revenue regulations.
More still, he must apply for and
secure the written consent Of ma
joriUy of the property owners and
of all the housekeepers who reside
upon his square and the confronting
square. If a majority of the property
owners in his immediate vicinity re-
fuse to sign his application, his cause
is lost. Also, if a majority of the
housekeepers within a certain limit
saloon. Nor can he sell to whom and
how and when he wishes. He circum-
scribed to certain persons and to GER
tain hours and bound by regulations
that are prohibitory as far as they 60"
Point and piquancy was given to
the above by the fact that there is in
this city Personal Liberty Club,
though which the saloon element en-
deavors to infiuece colored men.
Many have joined, and already eight
negroes are engaged in liquor selling
in this district.

REMARKABLE CURES OF RHEUMATISM.

From the Vindicator, Rutherfordton, n. c.:
The editor of the Vindicator has had occasion to

he suffered excruciating pain for ten days, which
relieved with two applications of Pain Balm,
rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing instant
benefit and entire relief in very short time.
Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint almost pros
tratng him with severe pain, which was relieved
by two applications, rubbing with the lniment on

Ifwomen only realized the value of
a pleasant expression how much
10 llier this dull old world would be-
Many estimable ladies, perhaps with
a high ideal of duty, mar what would
otherwise be a most attractive face
by a peevish expression. "She looks
cross enough to bite the head off a
NAIL" a little girl recently said of her
mothers best friend, who is really a
very interesting woman but has an
unfortunate expression. Did you
ever stop to think that expression
really reflects character? IF you look
peeyish, am very much afraid that
perhaps you are not quite as patient
as you might be. GA mans lips may
lie, but Nature cannot lie'' The face
reveals the soul within. The woman
whose countenance is like a ray of
sunlight reflects the sunniness of her
character in her words and actions,
and through out all the details of her
every day life. And the fact is
plainly written on her face, and fills
it with beauty of the highest, most
soul satisfying type.-McCdU's Maga-
