at Tazewell.

TAZEwELL, VA, July 90.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES: 1 had
the pleasure to-day of listening to a
grand old man preach the gospel OF the
Peoples party.
Mr.Samuel Newberry, of Bland county,
Va, came to Tazewell Court House in
order to address the people on the issues
of the day, and it has rarely been my
| good fortune to hear a more enlighten
ing exposition of vital questions than
was given by Mr.. Newberry. No one
can sit or stand within range of that
voice or look upon that tall, spare figure
or mark the earnestness of his manner
without being convinced that, right or
wrong, this old man is sincere. This
man feels that he has mission and
states plainly that it is one, life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness
Mr.. Newberry may be wrong in some
| non. essentials, and may be extreme in
some of his views, but no is evidently a
student and seems to have learned his
lesson we'll. lie is at least twenty five
years ahead of the times, but he is tho
voice of one crying in the wilderness,
and while it may not be wise to ask

that in Australia, under the admins
tration by the government of railroads,
the people ride 1000 miles for Sc; when
he asks US why should not the govern
ment carry freight and passengers at
cost on the same principle that it car
ries our letters; when he tells us that
fifty men in the United States actually
control the money market and can pre-
cipitate panic at their will and pleas
ure; when he tells us that the Kansas
farmer pays in freight charges the price
of one and half bushels of grain to get
one bushel to market; when he tells us
that gold is king and that labor is a
slave, and then asks us if a change
would not be desirable, is it at all sur
prising that some men grow enthusiast
tic over hope at a new order of things
promising so much?
Can the Peoples party effect these
changes, and would they result in good
if made? Time only can answer these
questions. One thing is sure, however,
and that is the people are aroused, either
over imaginary or real wrongs, and I'M
less some very wise counsels prevail We
may see Longfellow's.proph realized,
one verse which reads:
There is poor blind Sampson in this land
Shorn OF his strength and bound in bonds OF
steel,
Who may in some grim rcvcl raise his hand
And shake the pillows of this commonwcal,
TIL the vast temples OF our liberties

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.

The hanging Of Private Iams up by
Che thumbs for u foolish remark ap.
plaudiDg Bergman for shooting H. G.
Frick has raised a storm Of Indignation
around the ears of Col. Streatcr, the Of
fending officer Gov. Pattison has been
flooded with letters of protest from
every part of the country protesting
against the punishment and demanding
the removal of the colonel.
J. 1t was undoubtedly a heinous outrage.
There was no semblance of a court mar
tial. Private Iams was cruelty tortured
for uttering a sentiment, which, how
ever wrong, was certainly within the
broad limits of free speech. To
punish him without form of law or Of
trial was double outrage on the rights
Of citizen, double because it was done
by an officer whose express duty was to
maintain those rights.
If the assault on Frick could be con-
strued as weakening the cause of the
strikers the assault on Private Iams
reverses the tale. Col. Streator is the
one who should now be drummed out OF
camp.
