Pom Officials Galore.

from the + Ort scot, MONITOR
The Union Pacific are now entertain
ing the reform state officials on wheels
this week. These fellows will have such
a taste for 50 cigars, champagne and
pIutocracv, that reform will receive
great back-set. There never was such
rush .or free passes and the good things
set up free by the railroad companies.

In the Name of Reform.

From the Newton Republican.
The Wichita jointss refused to fill the
Populists' campaign purse and in conse-
quence thereof the ire of the reform
patty has been stirred and proceedings
have been commenced against the
wealthiest of them in the shape of per
petual injunctions restraining them from
doing business. Thus the good work of
reform goes merrilv on. If you don t
put up for tie reformers, they start the
reform ball to rolling in your direction.

The Jury System.

From the New York Herald.
The requirement of unanimitv in our
jury system is a curious aramoly that
that cannot toe soon be abolished It's
tendency is to defeat, instead OF pro-
mote the ends of justice. A verdict in
any important criminal case may be
prevented by the stupidity, obstinacv,
corruption, sickness Or death of one
Juror

An Honest Dollar.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
II we are to have free coinage Of

dollar is of full weight and value, in

fee coinage OF ID sixty-four cent dollar.
and to make it a legal ter der for 100
cents would cause widespread misery to

pATRoMlzE HOME PEoPLE.

Too often it is the case that peo-
pie imagine they can do better away
from home than they can were they
to deal with merchants and mechan-
les OF their own town. This is big
mistake, as the result usually proves.
Take, for instance, the merchants
of Big Stone Gap. They are live,
energetic class Of men; honorable and
upright IN their dealings, and there
is sufficient legitimate competition
among them to guarantee reasonable
prices. In buying their goods, as
they do, i'll good quantities, of course
they get the benefit of clocst prices
from jobbing houses, and bring their
goods here to offer to the public with
reasonable profit added. While
the object in doing this is to make
money out of their business, still,
think of the inconvenience the people
would be at il we had no merchants
among us.
1t is not doing them justice; i'll
fact it is not right, to buy the little
) and 10 cent everyday necessities OF
them; simply for convenience sake,
and then when YOU want to purchase
nice bill OF spring clothing, house
furnishing goods, or other articles that
amount to something, order OF some
retail house in city where, on &C
count of high rents, expensive living,
etc, they are forced to charge you
% to 80 per cent more than the same
article coull be bought at through OF
from the business men of your owl'
town.
Patrouize home merchants, home
mechanics, home laborers and home
people; keep every dollar i'll circula-
ton at home you possibly can, and
hcl p to build up your neishbor and
town all you can.

The Coke Situation.


The coke trade last week dropped back
n few points in production, says the Con-
melville Courier in its weekly resume OF
the coke situation. About 800 ovens were
blown out and in consequence the produc-
lion decreased about 300 tons. For the
current week. however, q more hopeful
feeling prevails. The severe weather on
Saturday was responsible for short run
Mt many of the small plants in the region.
Though ovens being blown out there Is
nothing like respondent feeling among
the coke operators. They deem it bet.

The works got Il six days run last week.
The shipments were larger than they nave
been for the last six months, the most
notable increase being in the Eastern
shipments. For some reason the IIits-
hurgh shipments decreased although the
pig ircn market is fairly active. Lac
crushed and boundary coke trade con'ln-
ues brisk.
A detailed repor, Of The operations ana

ton of 3,354 tons. Compared with the

HAVE YOU ANY ENCOURAGING
NEWS 2"

The question in almost every
mouth about Big Stone Gap just at
this time is Have you any en-
couraginy news ?" This is but nat
ural. and nothing else can be expected
from the ncrvy people who have
so leroiciy TOUCHED it out through
the siege Of business stagnation that
has been upon them for nearly three
years past. Although times have
indeed been hard on them in many
respects, still there is no reason for
them to become dishcartencd outside
IF the fact of the slow progress that
is being made by the large compan-
les that have it in their hands to
start the place on the road to rapid
growth and prosperity or to hold 1t
and it's citizens in their present
hampcred position.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
all who have given any thought to
the great and almost nnequale'l nat
ural resources surrounding Big Stone
Gap as to the future of the place. The
immense quantity of superior iron
ore so near the town, the great veins
OF fine coking coal, the almost I'M
touched forests of poplar, oak, ASH,
etc, that extend for many miles III
almost every direction, all go to
warrant the belief that Big Stone
Gap is at some future day TO become
one of the most prosperous ana I'M
portant towns in this country but,
up to the present time, the people
who ..riskea their little all' and
came here with the purpose OF assist
ing in building up and developing
the country have to a very great eX-
tent met with disappointment. This
disappointment has not been brought
OH them because of their bad ,ludg-
nent in oyerestimating the future OF
the town aud the superior advanta-
yes Surrounding it, bnt, as mentioned
above, because of the slow progress
in the development of the valuable
properties owned and controlled here
BY wealthy corporations.
1.-THE Virginia Coal and Iron Co,
the Virginia. Tennessee and Carroll
M Steel and Iron Co, the Powcll's
River Coal and Iron Co, and other
large corporations that own the bulk
of the valuable mineral property sur
roundin. the place were to commence
the development of their valuable
holdings ii, earnest, then prosperity
aud general revival III business
would be the result but, until this
is the case there is but little enconr-
ascmcnt to hope for an Improvement.
Because this immediate section is
richer in iron, coal and timber re-
sources than almost any other ortionI
Of the south is no advantage 70 the
hanl-workng mechanic, the business
man ,or the everyday aboref wfoI
have come here 70 make this their,

are aevslepea and they arc given
