WISE County is naturally the wealthleSt
county in Virginia. Her condition is
much like that of a young man from South
America who was taken up on the streets
of New York the other day, half-dead
from starvation. He had over one hum
dred thousand dollars in bank, but owing
to inability to have himself identified, he
could not draw on it, and he presented the

untold wealth beneath her hills, but, with
out the aid of outside capital, she cannot
avail herself of it. The Worlds Fair pre-
sents great opportunity to show to the
outside world what she really has, and 1t
is now time that the work of gathering an
exhibit and providing the necessary finds
to display our wealth should begin. A
liberal appropriation must be made by the
Board of Supervisors to supplement that
made by the General Assembly.

Practical Politics.

The attacks made on Senator David
Dennit Hill by the mugwump. holier-
than.thcu press of the country sound
very like the prating of a lot OF fools. He
10 abused for being "practical politician.
He 10 viliHed as one who believes in the
heGredox notion Of "party expediency."
He 10 called a rascal and scamp because
he will not follow the lead of senti-
mental. visionary politicians, and rush
hlindly into fight on an issue when be
knews that certain defeat awaits him, and
that the success of that very issue depends
on the exercise Of patience and prudence
Since when has it become wrong to
look before one leaps? Since when has it
become a crime to use skill and tact in
attaining to ones ends? What would
be thought of General who would car
~ his army into a battle without first
calculating his chances of success, and
awaiting himself Of every opportunity to
manocuvre for position and gain point
of vantage! Is it any less important for
great political leaders to play for position
10 be as wise as q serpent in availing them
selves Of opportunities to dissconcert the
opposing party and strengthen their own
yenksf Nothing would be more foolish
shan for any leader, however just his
cause, 20 precipitate his party into con-
tsas where there is no chance for victory,
when by awaiting the proper time and OPP
.possaninity such cause might be made
successful. tall looks chivalrous enough
in political as we'll as other. warfare, to see
a man rush into what is certain defeat
and poss;ble destruction, but at the same
slime tits very foolish and accomplishes
but LITTLE good. AS between practical
!: and an impractical politician we would
always choose the former. Jefferson
~as practical politician SO was jackson
and 90 have been all The great states
men who have accomplished any real good
Sar their country. Hill is practical pol
itieian, and we are glad of it, let mug
wumps and hypocrites think as they will
We would think much less of him we're nc
uos practical politician, and we hope
ahat the day will never again come wher
practical, politicians are not in the ascen.
aeney in the Democratic party.
The hypocritacal Sunday-school politici-
aus have written lot ofrot about the Hill
Kaag,' and they always sneeringly speak Of
the ex. governor as practical politician
Yes he and those of his way Of thinking
are practical politicians and are proud Of
IL, and IL is through honest, practical
politics that they expect to redeem the
country from Republican rule.

The enimies of Senator German have
been cirulating report about the coun-
try that he is q Catholic, thinking thereby
to retard the growth of his popularity.
If he were Catholic, we fail to see how
it would affect his fitness for any position
within the country. but for the sake Of
truth it may as we'll be said that he is not
a. Catholic. He is not member of any
church himself, but those members Of
his family that belong to any church are
Presbyterians.

will do. Let that be our ultimatum; and if it
is possible to do 80, secure an appropriation
larger than this to the extent the States
ability, every cent judicially spent in max
ing an exhibit will be well spent and will
bring rich return.
There is, we are satisfied, no question
of the States ability to make a liberal APP
preparation, and no stone should be left
un.urned in the effort to arouse the MEM
bers of the General Assembly to sense
Of their duty in the premises.

Virginia and the Worlds Fair.

One Of the most important if indeed it
10 not the most important, duties devoiv-
Ing upon the present General Assembly is
TO make liberal appropriation to exhibit
Tirginias resources at the Worlds Column
b;an Exposition. Virginia cannot afford
10 he parsimonious in this matter; the OPP
bortunity to advertise to the World her
enormous natural wealth is great, and
failure to make Il creditablc display will
cause the Old Dominion TO lose ground
chat will he hard to regain. Economy
does lie in retrenchment here but in
most liberal expenditure. One hundred
thousand dollars spent in making an ex-
hibit will be by far the greatest invest
ment Virginia has ever made; the returns
ON IL will be certain and speedy. An ap-
ptop;stson of less than 100000 would be
,rediculously small, and we very much
!, doubt if it would not he better not to APP
4bropriate anything at all than to spend
twenty-five or fifty thousand dollars.

The" Hotel of the Four Seasons" at Harro-

ough-the most elegant hotel in this part OF
the South, is expected to be open in February,
the stewart having already come down from
New York in advance of his help and supplies.
Its patronage will be drawn mainly from the
invalid and leisurely wealthy people of the
north and east, who come to this hotel and the
attached sanatarium and casino for health and
recreation, and, as this tide of travel will pass
through Big Stone Gap, much indirect bene-
fit should accrue to this place. 1t is intended
by DR.. Allen McLane Hrmilton, Medical Di-
rector, if necessary, to have invalid cars at
tached to the regular trains, so that the sick
can travel with all comfort.

coNvIcrs PLOT FOB LIBERTY.

Citizens Clothes Struggled Into Sing Sing
Prison and Discovered.
SING SING, n. Y, March 11-What ID
believed to have been plot for . Wholesale
Jail delivery has been nipped in the bud at
Sing Sing prison. The plot was revealed by
trusted convict, who said that number of
citizens clothes had been smuggled into the
prison, and that the convicts employed in the
stone yard were preparing to make adash for
liberty. A close watch was kept, but moth
ing suspicious was noticed until Friday,
when majority of the men in the stone
yard refused to 60 to work. They were
subdued without much excitement. On
Saturday the men again refused to 60 to
work. but were again subdued. This time,
however, the keepers had hard struggle to
bring the men to terms.
The acts of insubordination resulted in
the stricter guard being kept, and the en-
tire prison was searched for citizens
clothes One suit was found to-day, but
whether the men have other suits con-
cealed has not yet been determined. The
keepers have been ordered to keep strict
watch and report the least act Of insubor-
dination to the warden. The trouble has
9een confined entirely to the convicts en-
ployed in the stone yard, and it is thought
that none of the other prisoners are con-
cerned in the affair. The work in the stone
yard is done by q contractor.

1t Is Rumored That II Has Bought
Two Quaker City Renneries.
PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-The pres
ence in this city to-day of representatives of
the American Sugar Refneries, commonly
known as the "Sugar Trust" led to the cir
culatIon of a report that the negotiations for
the purchase of the Franklin Sugar Refinery
and the refinery operated by E. G. Knight
& Co. had been concluded, and that formal
announcement to that effect would be made
within q few dayk 1t was said by promi-
nent capitalists, close to the Sugar Trust
magnates that the papers had been signed,
and that the trust would take possession of
the refneries within short time.
AT the office of the Franklin and Knight
Refineries no information could be obtained,
but the prevalent belief among well-in-
formed people was that the deal was practi-
cally concluded. A representative of the
trust spent some time to-day at the Office of
E c. knight & Co., and it is reported that
the details of the purchase OF the refinery
were discussed. Treasurer Searles, of the
Sugar Trust, was also in the city this after
noon. He declined to talk about the re-
ports regarding the Franklin and Knight

The National League of Musicians Makes a
Dire Threat

NEW YORK, March 15.-The National
League of Musicians opened their conven-
tion to-day with President Owen Miller, of
st. Louis, in the chair. There were so dele
gates present, representing nearly all the
Locals connected with the League. In
his report the president referred to ques-
tions which would be discussed during the
convention, dwelling particularly upon the
competition of the Army and Navy Bands
against civilians, permitted and condoned
by Congress.
Mr.. Miller ad vised that instead of send
ing committees to Congress with petitions
the 10, 900 members of the National League
Of Musicians should enter protest in the
shape OF ballots, deposited against the ruling
party which has heretofore refused to
recognize their rights. A resolution was
passed protesting against the granting of
leave of absence 10 the Bandmaster and
members of the Marine Band, who are about
to start on a tour of the United States for
the purpose of giving concerts, and they
further resolved to telegraph it to the Sec
retary of the Navy and President Harrison.
The convention intimated that if its request
was not complied with, the union would
oppose Governmental candidates at the
next election.
