Some time Saturday night q
bloody crime was committed three
miles west of Tazewell by parties al
present unknown, though slight
clue has been obtained, which will
undoubtedly lead to detection and
final capture. Mr.. Cunningham
was a bachelor about q years old
and lived alone on his farm, in q
lonely place, surrounded by an
abundance of all that honest toll
could coax from.mother earth, and
it was known generally that he had
saved some money, and it was this
that cost him his life. Four shots
had entered the body and head
either of which would kill. A
brother of the murdered man wa:
the first to discover him, lying or
the floor of his cabin, and that was
Sunday afternoon. All his pockets
were turned inside out. As near al
can be ascertained the thieves go
something like $500.

POLITICS AT WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The trou-
bles of the administration are increas-
ing with rapidity that must be APP
palling to the stolid occupant of the
White House. Congress had hardly
got through listening to the dreary
platitudes and misleading statistics
with which the Presidents message
was filled before bills and resolutions
began to be introduced in the House
and Senate of a nature calculated to
be far from pleasing TO the admins
tration, and facts to be made pubic
that falsified statements made in the
message. Senator Hoar started the
ball on the Hawaiian question by the
introduction of resolution, which
was passed, calling on the President
for copies of all correspondence and
instructions emanating from the ad-
ministration on that subject, and a
rafting short speech criticising the re-
markable position of the administra-
ton was made by Senator Dolph.
Representative Hit, Of Illinois, in
troduced a similar resolution in the
House. Senntor Hill also antagon-
lied, in a speech, the position of Mr..
Cleveland on this Hawaiian business.
Bills have been introduced in both
House and Senate, by democrats,
which carry on their faces condemn
alton Of the administration pension
policy, Take it all.in .allj the indica-
tons are that the 'twild team," as
Gen. Harrison so aptly termed the
democratic majority in Congress, will
be harder to control than it was at
the extra session.

Mr.. Clev efand stated in his usual
dogmatic style, in his message, that
the deficiency in revenue by reason
OF the Cleveland tariff bill would only
be S2S, 900, 900. Now it is officially
announced by the Treasury depart
ment that it will be at least 800, 900,

question be let alone, and Represen.

Tha Stalwarts,

1t is said that several Kansas men
are in Washington representing the
stalwart democrats of Kansas. but con-
sidering the result Of the election last
fall one is led to enquire who are the
stalwar.s in Kansas, or rather, where
are they?
The so-called stalwarts proposed to
favor the election of Cleveland but
were opposed to the state ticket and
yet the state ticket received mere votes
than were cast for the electors. Taking
this one fact into consideration the
stalwarts in Kansas represent minus
quantity. But the correct solution of
the matter is to be found in the proba-
bility that the stalwarts voted the re.
publican ticket.
This theory is reasonable one,

Our Party and Its Pledges,

Cur republican contemporaries are
down 10 business and fulfill the prom
ises OF the democratic platform.
The New York Morning Advertiser,
for Instance, says of our platform.
The democratic party knew then that
&c was hopeiessly divided as it is now
upon both the currency and the tariff
reform questions. 1t knew then that it
would be Impossible for il to SO get to
getier on silver, for instance. as to
agree upon any change in existing laws.
1t knew then as it does now that to
make the change in The tariff laws
which it SO glibly promised could only
result in irreparable injury to the busi-
ness interests of the country.
The average republican editor spends
most of his time these days dancing
around the democratic camp with a
tariff chip on his sboulder, daring some
body to knock it off.
1t is all right The administration is
not likely to forget the fact that it owes
its existence to the tariff and financial
reform planks IN the platform of its
party. These pledges will be kept. We
should have an extra session of con-
gress, and it should be called mainly
for the purpose Of tackling the vicious
tariff system. The democratic platform
says the tariff will be reduced to a
revenue basis. and it's operation will
neither oppress the poor nor build up
monopolies for few favored pluto
Gratis. In other words, the administra-
ton will carry out the promises that
brought it to the front with the endorse
m6nt Of the people.
The promise OF financial reform will
be just as faithfully kept. We are
going to remonetize silver snd re-es-
tabIish state banks.
These matters take the shape of
positive pledges i'll the democratic plat
form, and MIR. Cleveland, when he was
elected ON that platform, became absO-
lutely bound to carry out its provisions
to the best Of bis ability. He is man
of his word. He can neither be cajoled
nor lntimidated. He will call an extra
session, and the work of tariff and
financial reform will be pushed through
with his active aid.
The ciamor and the tauntS Of the re-
pu1iicanS will not cause the democratic
reformerS to turn aside or delay their
business. From the president down
to the youngest congressman, it Is
understood that the existence of the
democratic party depends upon its
fidelity in keeping its promises. The
party will have 10 get together on the
right side OF The tariff and financial
questions. or go out of business with a
record OF broken pledges. This is the
situation We must wipe out the pro-
tective tariff and establish binetallIsm.
without discrimination against either
gold or silver. and we must have state
banks. Any other course would be polit-
ical suicide. Atlanta Constitution.

lessons in earnest, is much further ad-
vanced than his two brothers The
play hours during the morning are filed
up with gymnastics, games of ball, dig

9:45 they take luncheon sand,
witches, claret and natural mineral

A WATCH THAT TALKS.
1t Is So Made That It Speaks the Hours
Instead of Striking Them.

1t Is So Made That 1t Speaks the Hours
Instead of Striking Them.
1t is said 4 matchmaker Of Geneva,
Switzerland, has just completed watch
which, instead of striking the hours and
quarters, announces them by speaking
like the phonograph- The mechanism
of the watch is based on photographic
conditions, the bottom of the case con-
tanning 4 photographic sensitive plate
which has received the impression of the
human, voice before being inserted ln
the watch.
The disk, according to the Jewellers
Circular, has forty-eight concentric
grooves, Of which twelve repeat the
hours, twelve those of the hours and
quarters, and twelve more those of the
hours and second and third quarters.
If the hand on the dial shows the time
to be 1915 o'clock, one OF the fine
needle points of the mechanism crosses
the corresponding groove and the disk,
which turns simultaneously. calls out
the time, just as the phonograPhic CYL
inder- The lower lid OF the case is pro-
vided with a tiny mouthpiece, and when
the watch is held to the ear the sound
is all the more plain.
