them, through the paths of civilization and
education, to seif-supporting and independent
citizenship. In the meantime, as the nations
wards they should be promptly defended against
the cupidity Of designing men and shielded
from every influence or temptation that re-
tards their advancement
The people of the United States have decreed
that on this day the control of their govern
ment in its legislative and executive branches
shall be given to a political party pledged
in the most positive terms to the accom-
plishment of tariff reform. They have
thus determined in favor of a more just and
equitable system of federal taxation. The
agents they have chosen to carry out their pur-
poses are bound by their promises, not less than
by the command of their masters, to devote
themselves unremittingly to this service.
While there should be no surrender of prin-
ciple. our task must be undertaken wisely and
without vindictiveness. Our mission is not
punishment. but the rectifeation of wrongs
If, IL lifting burdens from the daily

we but insist upon principle which underlies
our free institutions. When we tear aside
the decisions and misconceptions which have
blinded our countrymen to their condition I'M
der vicious tariff laws. we but show them how
far they have been led away from the paths
Of contentment and prosperity. When we pro-
claim that the necessity for revenue to support
the government furnishes the only Justification
for taxing the people, we announce a truth
so plain that its denial would seem to indi-
cate the extent to which judgment may
be influenced by familiarity with perversions
Of the taxing power; and when we seek to re-
instate the self-confdence and business enter
prise of our citizens by discrediting an abject
dependence upon governmental favor we strive
to stimulate those elements Of American char
acter which support the hope Of American
achievement.
Anxiety for the redemption Of the pledges
which my party has made, and solicitude for
the complete justification Of the trust the peo-

Deeply moved by the expression OF conf
dsnce and personal attachment which has
called me TO this service, i am sure my graf

pledge l now give before God and these wit
nesses Of unreserved and complete devotion to

honored me.

briefly refer TO 70 the existence Of certain con-
ditions and tendencies among our people which
seem to menace the integrity and usefulness Of
their government.
While every American citizen must con-

asm the growth and expansion Of our country,
the suficiency Of our institutions to stand
against the rudest shocks of violence, the won
derful thrift and enterprise of our people and
the demonstrated superiority of our free gov

America spread our eyes and read
with awe and horror the fearful ac-
counts that reach us of the bloody
murders and brutal acts committed
by the poor heathens of Gilman, ia
pan and other ungodly nations. How
thew do curdle our blood, and cause
us to offer thanks that we "are not
as one of them" How our whole
heart goes out to them for PHYS
sake, and we feel inclined to do more
for mission work than we have ever
done before. But III doing this is it
not something after the order Of one
farmer looking across his own field
of corn, checked and smothered to
death by running-briars, rag-weeds
and other filth and hallowing over to
his neighhor, telling him his crop
looked ms if it. needed work All we
forget that right under onr cyes

The 100000 Bond Ordinance.

In another column will he noticed a
communication from Mr.. j. NJ. Hodge, in
which he refers to the ordinance to be
votedon Ivy thee citizens of Big Stone Gap
OH the second of next month.
The ordinance provides for the issu-
ance of $50, 600 in city bonds, for the pur-
pose of street improvements, drainage,
building bridge, and erecting a public
school house and jail. He admits the ne
cessity Of such appropriation, "provided
we get the worth Of the money" and re-
grets the fact that the citizens are not al
lowed to vote OH the different improve
ments for which the proceeds from the
sale of the bonds arc to be used, scperate.
ly as to the cost Of each.
The council has publicly given out its
idea as to about what each Of the different
items will cost, and has estimated that it
will take at least the amount of money
say $40, 500-this amount Of bonds will
realize to do the work Whether voted
on MS whole or separately, the result
would be all the same. The money will be
under the control of the city government,
in either case, and the people have I'M
doubted confidence in the men who COM
pose that body or they never would have
elected them to the positions they hold.
Besides, if presented to be voted on seper-
ately possibly many different ideas would
be advanced by parties who are entitled
to vote, but who pay but little or no tax,
and the question would be of more COM
plicated nature than iii its present shape.
