FEEDING THE ELEPHANT.
The old Man Was Looking Forward to
 such a Result.


 such a Result. About midaftcrnOon came along to a creek crossing the highway and found a young man stretched out at full length in the shade of bush. I thought he was asleep, but as I was about to pass on he said:
 Stranger, ar yo' goin by Thompson's crossroads:''
 "Yes."
 "Then want yo' to do me favor. I'm Sam Snyder. My ole dad has a cabin right thar. want yo' to stop and say to him:
 "'Bin Snyder, hev yo' got blamed fule of n son named Sam, a feller as thinks he knows it alls'
 Yes, I hev, but he hain't home today. He's gone down to Marshalltown to see the circus
 Does that fule of a son O. yo'rs think he's smart huff to feed the elephant a chaw of terbacker and jump back in timer
 "'Reckon he does. That would be jest like Sam. Didn't meet up with him any whar, did yo'i'
 "sYes, did. He's lyin alongside the creek bout fo' miles down the road, and he'll be dead son befo' yo' kin git thar If yo' doan' hurry"

ii .sa TO OUR PATRONS.

The publishers OF the JOURNAL have ar
ranged with music publishing house in
New York city for plates of both vocal and
instrumental music by eminent American
and foreign composers, and will issue one
piece each week free to its subscribers.
Much Of the music will be published exclu-
sively through the syndicate of newspapers,
of which the JOURNAL is a membe fact
which will give it especial value. The
JOURNAL goes into very few homes where
music has no part in the daily life, and it is
to meet demand for the latest and best
compositions for the voice, the piano. and
the organ that the arrangement here out
lined has been perfected.
We believe this innovation will not fail
to be appreciated by our patrons. 1t has
been the earnest effort of the JOURNAL pro-
prietors to keep the paper fully abreast of
the times, and make it worth many times its
subscription price. The must, alone which
we shall furnish our readers during the
next year, without extra charge, would, if
purchased at regular retail prices, cost sew
eral times the price of the paper. We be-
lieve that the people of the Keunebec Val
ley, irrespective Of party, will never fail to
appreciate our forts to give them a first
class modern newspaper.

The Menace Of the acmb Ihrower.

The explosion of bomb in the Church
of tie Madeline in Paris. Thursday after
noon, is more significant than the fact that
one person was killed ard several injured
appears to convey. Either means for prac-
tically crushing out this terrorizing fanati.
cism must be found or else civilization will
retrogrsde. We believe. tn. It the iepression
of this small class of luna;ics is possible
even in country with the most liberal form
of government. Sight cannot be lost, how
ever, of the fact that just at present the
one man power, the cruel and medieval
tyranny of Russia APP ears to cope with the
dynamite demon more successfully than
the republic of France. 1t was the
outrageous condition of affairs existing
triotic ardor and intelligence to attempt, by
frs. one method and then another, an i'm
provement upon the despotic government of
their native country. When this class of
individuals resorted to dynamite there
were many throughout the world who sym
pathized with them in their efforts. While
the public shuddered at the report of some
terrible attempt upon the life of those in
power, many thought that perhaps the end
justified the means. Meanwhile, however,
the barbarors laws of Russia were put into
execution with rigor, the iron heel of des-
potism cru he'd the victims into the earth.
But the dynamite craze hid spread. Still
in the hands of fanatic, it became the weap-
on of those lower in The scale of intel
ligsnce and entirely wanting in the
elements of patriotism which enkindled
the zeal of many unfortunate Russians,
it became tie weapon of anarchy after it

b IA been wrestcd from the hands Of inttlli.
Z ut people who hid used ii a. their only
I ,silable avenue to what they believed
would be better government. The result
is that dy Mantle explosions which are now
very rarely heard in Russia, have bsen re-
Gently Of qaite frequent occurrence in re-
publican France amid condition Of affairs
which are as willie witt black in compare
son with the existing conditions of Russian
government.
For weeks Paris has he.n under the
strictest surveillancs Of one of the best po-
lice departments in the world. Every eff
fort compatible with that form of govern
ment seems to have been made and yet
fanatic is enabled to throw q bomb in a
much frequented church killing one and
wounding several. The fact that the an
arehist is supposed to have ST ffered even
worse than did Valiant, shows that the
fanaticism of these wretches is such that
their pessonal safety isn't of much weight
with them. Manifestly then a kind Of es-
pionage such as is only possible under a
despotism like Russia's, seems to be the
most effectual in REFRESHING dynamite out
RACES. 1t is true Il at the anarchists have
made little Roadway in America. The dis
contented class AMI the down trodden is
SO email that the anarchist finds little
real 81 mpa,hy and instinctively feels. that
short SHIFT would be made of him as was
the case in the Chicago massacre. But it is
different in France where the spirit of the
old Commune is not altogether dead and
where there is much of poverty and class
hatred engendered by years of oppression.
The bomb thrower is today the worst enemy
which republicanism in Europe has. Every
successful demonstration m de by him
strengthens the claim for tyrannical power
and establishes precedent for further,re-
strictions of liberty. As physical menace
he amounts to little even in the French
capital but as a menace to good government
the whole world over he occupies q very
prominent place.

The platform of the Rhode Island Re

denouncing the tariff legislation of the
Democratic party as unwise and unpatriot-
ic; in declaring that tie Democratic party
is unable to comprehend honest bimetallism !;
in its expressed opposition to the "policy of
infamy" ard the he 81 ility of the Democratic
party towards the pensioners, the platform
speaks boldly and the Dem ,crats realize
at it speaks truthfnlly.
