Minneapolis, Feb. 12.-It has leaked
out that the leaders of the Populist party
have got well-informed lumberman in
the northern part of the state at work
in the pineries to secure evidence on
which to bring suits against the state
auditor ard others implicated in the al
legged pine land steals. The object of the
trip of the representative of the Peoples
party is, first of all, to secure, if posi-
BILE, positive evidence that will lead TO
the conviction of some of the persons
connected with the matter. That this
is no easy task is shown conclusively by
the fact that he began his work late
last fall and that he has not yet COM
plcted it. 1t is claimed, however, that
he is working on an entirely new tact,
and that not many of the cases that have
already been given publicity are being in
vestigated, but others of which nothing
has yet been said are being looked up,
causing increased work.

RICHMOND has always borne an envi-
able reputation in the entertainments
OF it's guests upon any and all occasions,
but in the treatment Of its VISITORS, es-
pecia!iy those of the States citizen
soldiery who were in attendance upon
the inaugural ceremonies on Monday, it
fairly outdid itself. The clubs and or
CARNATIONS We'd with each other in try
ing to make the stay of the strangers
ENJOYABLE and they succeeded beyond
measure If the general expression OF
the visitoas can be relied upon; and it
usually can in such circumstances.
Richmond is beautiful city, possessing
beautiful residences, public buildings
and monuments, and moreover, the
fairest OF the fair sax, but the mos
beautiful part of it all are the deeds
which it does.

THE srRueGE BEGINS TO-DAY.

The struggle in the House begins to-
day upon the Wilson tariff bill. Dis
patches indicate that it will be one
desperately fought, and that the result
may not be reached for some time. 1t
is evidently the avowed principle of the
administration to push the bill to it's
utmost, and if perchance the measure
passes the lower body and goes to the
Senate fight exceeding in proper ton
that over the silver purchasing clause
is to be expected.
Since the adjournment OF Congress
meetings have been held in many Sec
tions of the country and particularly
through the South, at which the Wilson
measure has been denounced and reso-
lutions adopted urging upon the repre-
sentatives IN Congress to work for it's
defeat, or such passages Of it as are par
ticularly discriminating against the
interests of the Southern States. Tho
mass meeting at Big Stone Gap as re-
ported in another column is expressive
Of large proportion Of tho views held
in this section.
1t is also understood that represent.
alive body of coal men from Lynchburg
and from the coal fields in the South
west part Of the State have gone to
Washington to personally present their
views to the members of Congress.
There is need of some such active work
being taken by Roanoke and its citizens.
