Athens Journal:-
"The JOURNAL unites with every
true Democrat in the county in eX-
tending our heartfelt thanks to the
PopuliSts, Prohibitionists and Sill
yer Republicans for the gallant
fight made in Athens county for
the silver cause. In laying aside
all party prejudice and uniting
with the Democrats in the cause Of
the people, they have shown them
selves patriots indeed. Let true
Democrats, loyal Populists, faithful
Prohibitionists and Republicans
who put country before party, be
true to the cause for which we have
so nObly contended and stand
shoulder to shoulder and victory
will eventually perch upon our
banner, as surely as right will fin
ally triumph over wrong. That the
influence Of the united efforts Of the
friends Of silver in this campaign
in Athens county, we call attention
to the full abstract Of votes cast at
the late election, in which we give
the vote of 800 for perusal and com
parison. We ask our friends to
DeruSe it. IT can but insDirc them
to renewed efforts in the cause OF

carried five precincts and come
very nearly carrying two more, o

Elephant on Their Hands.

The people, perhaps not from the
soul, but from the physical being,
have expressed a desire to have the
Republican party take control of
the affairs of the government and
bring about the relief that all part
les have conceded that the country
stands in need Of. Now that they
have 1t, we believe 1t begins to
dawn upon them that they have an
elephant on their hands; that to
bring about a permanent prosperity
upon borrowed standard is begin
ming TO look ridiculous TO those
who worked the hardest for il; that
to limit the circulating medium is
the reason that business Is run on
an exchange of commodities, when
if the medium of exchange was
more per capita, a cash basis
would prevail; that to put up AN
ugly protection face at foreign
countries, and then ask for a finan-
cial agreement, are not compatible; /;
that Major McKinley's hands will
be tied because of an adverse con-
gress, and times must get worse
without legislation for the better;
that their president elect is the
same man that was the weakest of
Ohio's governors, and on their hands
just now when they need strong
man; that they are pledged to carry
out the very principle that has re-
duced this government to poverty
and cannot restore prosperity.
The eyes of the world are on Amer
lea and her every act will be held
up to the X-rays, and the Republi-
can party with her unfounded pro M
ises, will squirm beneath the aw-
full lash of public opinion in the
next four years, while defeat does
not mean destruction tothe Demo-
cratic party by any means. The
principles upon which the Demo
cratic party is founded are never
dying. The cause it represents is
the cause of the people, and defeat
this year will only defer the final
triumph of the undying principles
for which il stands. Let no advo-
cate of the money OF the people be
discouraged. The principles for
which we have battled in this con-
test are right and must prevail.

GCOd Showing.

Against Mr.. Bryan this year
every agency of capitalism and
cupid,ty was arrayed. For his
over throw the most enormous
campaign fund known to American
politics was expended, while in his
behalf pennies were availaLle
where his foes had dollars. Against
him the sinister agencies of cor
ruption, coercion and intimidation
were employed. Yet, despite all,
he made better showing at the
polls than Harrison in 1892, and as
good as Cleveland in 1888. The
Democratic party has every reason
to be proud Of the issue Of this
campaign, and every possible reas.

Literary Note.

Rosa BoNHEUR leads the life
of a recluse in her chateau in the
depths OF the Forest of Fontain-
ebleau, near Paris. She secludes
herself from all, and it was with
the greatest difficulty that the edi-
tors OF The Ladies' Home Journal
succeeded in getting Il proposition
before her that she should write
her autobiography for that magazine.
After nearly years effort they
were successful, and once started
on her work the great painter found
so much interest in it that she made
over dozen special studies and
pictures of animals to accompany
the text. The photographed
article, with the valuable unpub-
lished drawings. will appear in the
Christmas Journal, together with
portraits OF Rosa Bonheur as she
works in her studio and home.

Work Better Than Wages.

The mining industry in the Hook
ing district is certainly humping
itself a: the present time. Five
hundred and two cars of coal were
shipped from the yards in this city
Wednesday, or about 10000 tons Of
coal. If the miners were only get
ting anything like fair wages for
mining, it would not be long until
the Hooking Valley would return
to her old-time prosperity, but as
it is, all the laboring people get out
of all this vast shipment of coal is
a bare living. But this condition
will not always exist we hope

brilliant y6ung Americans Of which
Hooking is proud, lie delves in
the bowels of the earth in daily
labor seeking to wiring out an hon

of his face. BY theHdtte'r ofbapk
lamp he has managed. to toll out
an education and gifted with
natural eloquence, he has become
the leader of people, though ten
der in years, yet like our gallant
standard bearer w. j. Bryan, will
work out an end to the Uplifting
and betterment Of the people who
look to him for guidance. The time
is not far distant when the pinched
features of The assailing correspnn-

the presence Of this giant Of the
peoples rights, when furthered his
