Coercion.

The railroad men, the miners and
workingmen generally throughout
Ohio are becoming indignant over
the attempts of railroad managers
and other agents Of corporations to
influence their votes by covert
threats that if the gold standard
does not prevail wages will be re-
duced. Alta large meeting of Hook
ing valley miners and railway en-
ployes at Jacksonville a few days
ogo, it was resolved among other
things:
"That we view with alarm the
action of said employers of labor,
and that we condemn and denounce
such methods by whomsoever used
as un-American, and subversive of
the inalienable rights of the free
American workingman; and, fur
thermore, we regard all employers
of labor that resort to such unfair
methods as the real enemies of our
free American institutions. They
are the real anarchists of society.
They have almost completely rob
bed us of our means of sustaining
life, and now they turn upon us
and show their desire to rob us of
our liberties"

eishop Peterlsln,s Good WORK.

Bishop PeterI1in's Good Work.
The Episcopal Hall at the State
University, established by Bishop
Peterkin, of this city, has been en-
larged and now has capacity for
fifty or more young men.
The Bishop is greatly pleased
with the success of the Hall, and
the prospects are that it will be
full again this year. Although es-
tablished by the Episcopal Church,
this Hall is open to all denomina-
tions alike.
In neat circular issued by the
warden of the Hall the following
statement is made of the Bishops
object:
"Bishop Peterkin has establish
ed this Church Hall at the seat of
the State University, instead of
setting up small rival college;
He does this as loyal citizen and
as loyal churchman. AS loyal
citizen he believes i'll the State, and
aiding all its good efforts i'll behalf
of the people; and, as loyal
churchman he believes he can, at
the State University, have the
youth of the church educated at
much less expense and i'll more
thorough way than he he could in
a separate church college, or in any
other possible institution in West
Virginia. In word, the church is
port and patronize state institu
tions as the individual citizen is;
and The Episcopal Hall is the eff
fort of the Episcopal Church in
West Virginia to DO loyal to the
State. And, as return, it receives
the same superior advantages which
the individual citizen does when
lie is wise enough to make use of
them. "-Parkersburg Journal.

In Limbo.

Chas. Ellis, who claims to be
from Athens, Ohio, and who was
crazy drunk, was arrested last night
by Marshal Foglesong, for brutally
and viciously assaulting a ten year
old boy whom he claims is his son.
He had struck, choked and kicked
the boy until he was we'll nigh ex-
hausted and would no doubt have
killed him, had not the officer been
called. In making the arrest the
officer had to fell the brute with his
mace several times before he could
conquer him. 1t seems he would
canvass the town for the sale of in
sect powder, and if people did not
buy of him, he would talk roughly
to the inmates of the houses, and
then in his drunken rage would

put stop to it. The move is a

The young men of, today seem to
delight in spending all the money
they can get hold of as we'll as all
they can beg out of their parents,
without one look ahead for the fu-
ture. A young man, or woman
either, for that matter, who expects
to mako anything of himself i'll
this world, must buckle down to
some kind of work or profession,
and learn to save and lot some of
the society pleasures pass by. Be
ing loader in society will never
make man of you. Remember,
that you will not always have the
"soft snap" you have now. After
awhile father and mother will CROSS
the river, and then the prop that
was holding you up, will be knock
ed from under you, and many of
you will fall, and fall hard. Young
mon should have some care for the
future, as we'll as for the pleasures
of the present. This is written in
a kindly spirit, hoping that it may
call halt in some young mans
wild and thoughtless career.
There will be plenty of money
to loan after we get the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The
mine owner will only be too glad
to loan his money to the mortgage
farmer. All that will be necessary
for n man to have is security and
he will be able to borrow all the
money he needs. The free coinage
of silver means more money in cir
culation, and easier to borrow.
Vote for Bryan and free silver,
farmers and all those who are in
debt, and save your homes.
