The hotel coach was filled with a
crowd of happy, jubilant visitors, and
the horses toiled splendidly up the
hills. As each eminence was reached
and at every turn in the road the crowd
would burst forth into cries of wonder
and delight at the magnificent scenes
which burst upon their view. The
mountain jehu alone preserved a dig
nifty and silence which rather awed the
others. AT length, after a particularly
lovely view had been passed, one of the
guests at the drivers left hand re-
marked:

the Woman's Relief corps attended in

was large American flag. The choir
rendered two beautiful anthems. Rev.

LETTER FROM ATHENS,
Editor Reformer ::

Editor Reformer:-
Shall the county seat remain at New
fame or go to Brattleboro, is the ques-
tion. Personally | do not care a rap.
provided Brattleboro pays the fiddler.
| am unable to state the opinion of the
voters of Athens as | have not talked
with any of them about the matter
Several years ago when this same ques-
tion was being agitated there was con
siderable talk that if the county seat
was to go to Brattleboro there would
be a new county formed by taking
some of the northern towns of Wind
ham county and the southern towns of
Windsor, with Chester as the probable
shire town. AT that time manp of the
voters in Chester as well as those in
some of the other town were very much
in earnest and as / remember it the bus
mess was in such shape that had the
county buildings gone to Brattleboro
then. there was every reason to suppose
that there would have been new coun-
ty with Chester the county seat What
has become of the then new county en-

them:

Naturally the question uppermost

that the county seat should remain

from Saturdays caucus. The meaning
of present developments is that the
great majority of men, after 80 years
of trial, are satified that with regard to
the difficult subject of dealing with
the liquor traffic at least the Demo
cratic theory of Home Rule is correct,
that in the long run and the great
average, greater efficiency and power
for good are not secured by placing the
control as far as possible from the
people, but that on the contrary the
the further action and functions are
removed from the people, the more
abuses will be multiplied, and that
this is amply proved by the rascalities,
the corruptions, the impudent false
pretenses and the humbug with which
prohibition" is admittedly honey
combed. So on this question they are
determined to apply Democratic doc
trine.

effect in law this year or in two or four
years, but it is surely coming. 1t may
be this very year by frightening the
machine misruler into granting a ref
erendum on the subject--the most
graceful way out for them, though
there are big and alleged obstacles of
sincere prohibitionism and plundering
interest in the way. 1t may be by
bolt and the election of Mr.. Clement
on an independent ticket 1t may fol-
low a three-cornered fight like that
which placed John S. Robinson in the
Governors chair in 1858. 1t may be
later by Democratic victory, on a
clean-cut issue and fight. All we know
is that there is no possible escape from
the conclusion. Our wickedly unjust
system of representation may operate
to delay it little. but it can't stop it
because the people in the small towns,
when they get ready to act, are found
to be just as much opposed to prohibi
ton as those of the large towns

The COAL STRIKE.

II the proposed joint convention OF

former in a sympathy strike no better
proof of the utter folloy of a sympathy
strike will be furnished. Already the
hard coal strike is estimated to have
cost over S25. 000, 900 and hundreds of
thousands of men, women and chill
dren are now dependent upon the sti'
pends coming from fellow laborers.
When the latter go or strike several
hundred thousand more men will be
out OF employment in the soft coal
mines and the number to be supported
by contributions will be increased by
| another half million or more. VINO
is going to help pay to continue the
strike? Who can do so, even If he
NAV so desire. when the coal strike be-
comes general? Lack of coal means a
general cessation of business Of all
kinds, the closing down of steel and
iron mills, shops and factories n all
the great manufacturing plants OF the
country where coal is used TO produce
power. This means the throwing out
of employment of hundreds of thous.
ands of workers other than miners and
who have no grievance. Deprivation
and suffering must come to them and
to their families. It's time for the
| miners and all others who may be very
| properly in sympathy with them to
| look farther than the ends OF their
| noses before they act.
