On the Verge of Starvation.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March 80.-Infor
nation received from the suffering districts
isto the effect that the people are in bad
condition and on the verge of starvation.
TIE people are asking for bread. The ami
mails are starving to death in many places.
Strong men are begging for an ear of corn
to keep soul and body together. Unless a
rise should come soon there will yet be
months of suffering.
In the northern part of the county
great suffering is experienced; among
the mountain farmers and lumbermen mat
tiers are truly distressing. Children and
women eat parched corn, when they can
get it, and are thankful.

THERE is no nickel in a one-cent
piece. The alloy used in making that
coin is composed of ninety-fve per
cent. Of copper and five per cent. of tin
and zinc. AS its intrinsic value is only
about one tenth of cent, the report
that counterfeits are in circulation is
doubted, as the profits would be small.

Unconscious for Twenty-six Days.

BUTLER, Pa. March 27.-A daughter of
Joseph Renner, of Marion township, some
time ago to all appearances died. The body
was kept over for two days when it was
found that her pulse was beating. Restor-
atives were applied and respiration returned,
but all efforts to restore her to consciousness
proved fruitless. She remained in this state
for twenty-six days. On the evening OF the
twenty-sixth day she opened her eyes and
feebly asked for a drink of water. From
that time she rapidly gained strength and is
now able to go about. During the twenty
six days of Inconsistencies no food had
passed into the stomach.

AN EXHAUSTIVE EDITORIAL.
State Journal, Rep.
Leonard is now facetiously called
the Prohibocrat, 1t fits.
WHERE THE VOTE CAME FROM.
The Chicago Times (Dem.) has
special which says: with the
Prohibition vote kept up at its
present rate, it will reach $4,000,
and the largest Prohibition gains
are reported il Democratic pre-
cincts."
The New York Times (Rep.)
special dispatches say: can anal
ysis of the vote shows that the Pro-
hibition candidate has gained
Democratic votes. The Democrats
have suffered by the third party in
their strongholds, and the organi-
cation they fondled yesterday now
receives their most bitter curse"
The New York Herald (Ind.):
"Returns from the Western Reserve
and Eastern Ohio are incomplete.
The Prohibition vote is large, and
contrary to expectation, has SEEM
ingly been drawn as largely from
the Democrats as from the Repub-
licans."
The Associated Press dispatches
say: "The vote for Leonard is ir-
regular. Large gains in some pre-
cints. 1t is impossible yet to COM
pare the sources of gain of the Pro-
hibition candidate, but cursory
examination Of the returns so far
received indicates Democratic losses
where there are Prohibition gains.
In other words, SO far as can now
be seen, the Prohibition vote is
drawn from both parties.
DOESN'T REJOICE ESPECIALLY, BUT
GIVES FAITH PHENOMENAL SWEEP.
KeysSr Echo, Rep.
We are not disappointed nor sur
prised at the result. We did not
anticipate larger third party vote
than has been thrown,-from 10000
to %, 900. 1t is so small as, it seems
to us,to make it plain that the third
party as such has no chance to win
in Ohio. We do not rejoice espec-
tally over this fact, for our chief
objection to the third party move
ment is in the fact that we do not
believe constitutional and legal
prohibition can be secured through
its means.
x x We should have considered
a Democratic victory in Ohio a
national calamity; but we have
been spared this, and the Republi-
can triumph is one of such magni-
tude as to make it decisive. Ohio
has, in this election, vindicated
her we'll won fame as Republican
State. We have the fullest conf
dence that her Republican MAORI
ty will see to it that in the near
future she takes her place in the
ranks of the prohibitory States.
LET'S PAUSE AND CONTEMPLATE.
We respectfully ask our readers
to stop with us right here, and con-
template the magnificent and phe-
nomenal sweep Of Bro. Thompson's
faith, which can say, eve have the
fullest confidence that the Repub-
lican majority will see to it that
she takes her place in the ranks of
Prohibition States"
In view of the facts, of liquor
dealer presiding over the Ohio Re-
publican Convention, of the whis-
ky platform adopted, of the bitter
fight against Prohibition through
out the campaign, Of the saloon
support to the ticket and Of the
large number of Republican saloon
lists elected to the Legislature, Bro.
Thompson's stretch of faith is SIM
ply marvellous.
