The Post Right.

When the negro Davis killed ohef-
man. some time ago in Bristol, and
also his wife, because Of her infidell-
tv. as he alleged, the Posi- took the
o,onnd that he should be hung I'M
less he had been living a righteous
life, and did not belong to that brute
class of negroes, and had given strong
evidence that he was capable OF appre-
ciating the sentiments involved; and
that to let him go free, if he dello-
eratelv committed the murder, act
inc under the impulse of a depraved
spirit, and not from any sentiments
Of honor or of principle, would be to
open wide the gates for that class OF
brutes who delight in murder and
meanness.
The Bristol Ne,cs Of Monday con-
tains an account of another murder
at Glade Spring, very similar to the
Bristol affair. In this case the ne
eroe's wife vas a prostitute and
he crafty laid trap to catch his in
tended victim. He should be swung
as high as hylnen and no mercy,
whatever, shown the wretch.

George w. ChIlds.

In the death Of George w, Childs,
which occurred in Philadelphia on
the morning of the 3rd, the newspa-
per fraternity lost one of its bright
est lights; humanity one of its great
est sympathizers and philanthropists,
and Philadelphia her greatest orna-
ment.
From the position Of a penniless
newsboy, he, step by step, arose until
he became the owner and proprietor OF
one ofthe greatest and most influential
newspapers in the land. In Philadel~
plia there are to-day many men OF
affiuence who owe their success either
directly or indirectly to the assis-
lance of Mr.. Childs.
With kindness and charity he
walked through life's stormy path
and the world was made better by ms
having lived. Peace to his ashes

Returning Prosperity.

The PosT will be able next week
to announce the commencement
of an era Of industrial prosperity. A
large company with ample capital
will commence building coke ovens
on large scale. This is good news
to the people Of Big Stone Gap, as
they have been patiently waiting for
this great development to commence.
Everything is in readiness except
the signing of a few papers, and the
industry is practically secured.
This will have the effect of start
ing other companies to doing some
thing, Or else they will be left lag
CARDS behind. The Posi- of next
week hopes to give full particulars.

slack On The Bristol Girls.

Charlie Slack isaagettiug rampant
and has raised quite a stir among
the girls Of Bristol. Once upon a
time he was very careful in
handling this subject--as if it
were dynamite; but that was when
he was an old bachelor. Here is
what he has to say;
We regret to note that this notion
of true womanhood is not more prev
alent among the young ladies OF Bris-
toll. Too many of them have stray
ed from this notion, SO to speak.
They rather-nay we might say
positively, court attention. They
would rather be noticed than to eat.
They study the fashion plates. they
get.lots Of new dresses, they parade
the streets and they have more bust
ness down town than two-thirds OF
the merchants. They would die if
they had TO stay at home whole
day at time. If they want postage
for letter they so twice. purchas-
ing penny stamp each time It
furnishes the pretext to see and be
seen. They never leave home with
cut carefully surveying themselves in
the mirror. They study the are--ii
there is such atlling-of making the
young men pay attention to them.
They hare special spring in their
walks'fashionable gait for young
ladies and what n more amusing,
they think they are the only slesira
bic attraction. The fact is. they
make the public tired.

THE PRESS.

BnIsToL COURIER: When we con-
slider that the Democratic Senators,
as we'll as the rest of the patty, ac'
quiesced in and endorsed the plat
form on which Mr.. Cleveland was
elected, may we not expect that the
dignihed body of Senators will now
further endorse tariff reform. The
Wilson bill is now before that body.
1t may suffer considerable changes,
but if it does it will surely receive
what the Senate deems to be valuable
substitute clauses. At any rate, we
are to have some sort of tariff other
than McKialeyism.

ment. 1t has ever been clean and
honest paper. It brought great
wealth to Mr.. Childs, and this he
dispensed with rare wisdom and
princely liberality. Millions will
lament him, while we know of nc
one who has any dispraise for him.

The Income Tax.

After caYesul consideration of the
arguments a,lduced Tor and against
an income tax, the PosT is heartily
in favor Of one.
|. It might be said by those of the
deposition that it would be 70 place
premium upon Incidence, and to
undermine our national thrift, which
is one of the chief characteristics of
Americans. The argument, howev-
er, is not tenable. The question re-
solves itself into this: Grant that
it would undermine our thrift, and
place a premium upon Incidence, is
not this question of taxation of NAM
moth fortunes that each day, and
each year treble and quadruple them
selves enc of momentous Importance.
TO those minds that are capable
of Judging the future by the past
and looking beyond the GLOSSY
lacquer with which measures are
shielded and confused, the Posi-
appeals and submits it's arguments.
That as wealth and luxury increases,
the morality Of a community, or OF a
nation decreases. With wealth and
its com -eommittants, the finer sensi-
bilities of man are dulled; his selfish
ness increases, and the worst ele
ments in his nature increases. This
is no theory, but fact, and all fair
minded men must agree that it is.
Then with that principle established
let us pause in our course and
look around us. Look at New York,
where millions upon millions of dol
lars are boarded, where every home
on 9Th Avenue is a Palace; where
vice and wickedness, hellish and dia-
bolical in it's character, are daily prac-
ticed; where sensibility is dulled;
where mothers forget their calling
and where their lives are composed
of a daily round of hypocricy and
deceit. In other cities, where great
wealth is hoarded,it is the same way.
Now with these facts firmly i'm
pressed upon the mind the idea
that danger is ahead at once sug-
gests itself. The history of the
world is living monument to the
baneful influence of the accumula-
ton of wealth among a particular
family OF class Of men. Rome stands
out as warning, in burning bril-
liancy. When intoxicated with VIC
tory, and overwhelmed with luxury;
when virtue and honor were no more,
then an ayenging God wiped that
magnificent and glorious empire from
the face of the earth.
1t is time this great accumulation
of wealth was checked. There is
"poisen under it's wing The in
come tax is direct remedy for the
evil, and the Posi- hopes that Con-
gress will speedily adoptit.
