Fanny returned TO her lodging profound

The Presidents Message.
Chicago Chronicle.

The presidents message is not only a
strong appeal to American pride and
patriotism in the matter now at issue;
II is a clean cut and vehement ennuncia-
tion Of the Monroe doctrine, which in
his hands Is vltaliZed as never before
since its first PRONUNCIATION. The Ian
guage used, the concrete illustration
cited, the courageous recommendations,
the foreshadowing Of the possible conse-
quences-all give character and sub
stance TO a doctrine which heretofore
has existed largely in the realm or
theory and abstraction.

applicable in this as in the case
which prevented the seating of the

ATHENA, MARCH 1st, 1896

GEORGE w. Mcbride, x-secre-
tary Of state, has been elected to
represent the great state OF Oregon
in the United States senate, to sue
ceed ]. N. Dolpb, whose term ex-
pires on the 4th day Of March.
The Portland Oregonian aud other
subsidized organs of lesser note,
among which are the Pendleton
Tribune and The Dalles Times.
Mountaineer, as they explain it,
have "lost our fight, and as was
expected, we, the common people,
still eat, sleep and live. These or
gans who have 'lost our fight" are
now endeavering to derive solace
from the humiliating defeat of the
man who put up" for the Repub-
lican campaign, by grasping at the
levers offhe shattered state polit-
ical machine, that has been manip
ulated for years by Dolph, Simon
et al, and grinding out claims that
"he's just as good as our man,
"couldn't have been better;" "our
side ma med him; he will unite the
party etc.
When man is drowning, he
will grasp at straw, is an old say
ing. So it is in politics; when a
favorite is defeated or manipula-
ted machine falls to pieces through
the untiring efforts of the opposi-
ton, anything that affords cover
to hide the humiliation Of defeat
is eagerly sought after; and these
Dolph people are no exception to
the rule. When they make the as
sertion that the nomination and
election of Mcbride has cemented
the seams of dissention and differ
ence ofopinion on the financial gues-
tion in the ranks Of the republican
party in Oregon, they make an as
sertion which they cannot back up
with any degree of certainty what
ever.
The Opposition" that they speak
of in such contemptuous terms,
with its "populistic' tendencies,
inferior money views and other
accomplishments which didn't suit
''us," developed unforeseen strength,
They exercised this with such adj
mirable GOODNESS and perfect con-
troll that they eventually wrecked
the political machine of the state,
and backed by the people, laid the
corner stone Of the future free sill
yer republicans of Oregon. The
opposition" proved that they were
not part Of a machine, nor belonged
to any one man, by the solid vote
they gave to many different men,
who were capable of representing
the state with credit in the U. S.
Senate.
Further the opposition" brought
about the following result, as quot.
ed by prominent republican here
in Athena, and one who held a
federal position under HarrisohS
administration. Said he, "they
have put scab on the nose of the
republican party of Oregon of such
proportions that the party will cut
no figure in the next election"

Rings Cut from Diamonds
Everybody knows how difficult it is
even for an expert lapidaries to cut
diamonds, not only ON account of their
hardness, but by reason of their struc-
ture and veins, which must be well de-
lined before the cutter begins his
work. NJ. Antoine, one of the best
known jewelers. Of Antwerp, has, after
many fruitless attempts and three
years of arduous, patient toll, at last
succeeded in cutting whole ring out
of block Of diamond. The ring is
perfectly round, with q diameter of
nineteen milliters (about three-quar-
ters OF an inch). II was exhibited for
some time in Antwerp, and was very
much admired, It's value is not given,
as the maker will not sell it. Outside
Of this ring there is but one other ring
known to be cut out OF one stone, and
that is the beautiful sapphire ring in
the Marlborough collection.
