WE HOPE the Democratic party of
Tazewell will come to the front with
n candidate for the Legislature. We
have been playing n waiting game
long enough and it is now lime that
some effort was being made in the
county to put the party on its feet.
What we need is organization, and
without it we need not expect to ever
win anything either in this county or
any other. When we have to choose
between two or more Republicans
year after year we grow Indifferent,
and the consequence is that, when a
Democrat is in the field, n great
many do not vote at all or vote
against hiln-more from habit than
anything else. Let us put up a can
didate, and then meke the igl1t of
our lives to send hlm to Richmond
to represent Tazowell county in the
next Legislature.

wherein the editors of This section

What tho Gold Standard Docs For the
Worllingnan


"What will the gold standard do for
tho workingman?" asks the editor of an
alleged labor paper. Tho answer is easy.
1t will continue to do inst what it has
been doing whenever adopted. 1t will
furnish him with Il standard of values
which niakcs it certain that his wages
will not fall through decline in thcir
purchasing power 1t will enable him
TO buy moro goods of all kinds than if
he received cheaper money. 1t will guar
ahtco him against being paid III de-
precintcd or fluctuating currency. 1t
will mako his deposits in the savings
bank worth as much Il year or five years
hence as they are now.
BY giving business stable financial
basis it will enable his employers to
run their business steadily, thus insur-
ing him against loss of work through
tho nnscttlomcnt of industry, which
would exist under the silver standard.
1t VIII help extend our foreign trade by
keeping our commerce on tho same ba-
Sis rs that Of the heading nutions of the
world, and thus aid in making markets
tor his surplus products. 1t will servo
his best interests by encouraging the
accumulation Of capital and it's invest
ment i'll productive industry and so add
ing to the demand for labor 1t will
create common interest between all
countries having the same standard,
and thus tend to diminish the national
Jealousies and wars which in tho long
run lnJure most tho workingni;n. 1t
Will give him tho standard of values
used by all the highest wage paying
countries Of the earth, instead of that
uscd by tho Chinese, Hindoos and Mex
leans. These me somo OF the things
which tho gold standard will do for the
workingman. Will the 90 cent dollars

THE OPPOSING FORCES.
War Strength of Mexico and Guatc-
mala and Her Allies.

Mexico has standing army according
to the latest official advices, of 40.672 men,
and reserve militia of $4,000 men. OF
the regulars, 26742 are infantrymen, 5000
artillerymen and 5000 cavalrynlen. In ad-
dition to this force, it is probable that Mex
leo could concentrate volunteer force on
short notice of 100 900 more soldiers. The
Mexican navy is quite formidable as Central
American navies go. 1t includes one I'M
armored ship. carrying eight modern guns;
four unarmored gunboats. equipped wi h two
guns each; five second-class torpedo boats
and six vessels of a miscellaneous char
acter, armed with small cannon.
uatemala has no navy to speak of, but
has a fair-sized army The last estimates
placed the number of regular troops at
about $4,000 and the militia at 100000 Guate-

American republics, has a territory of "A, 800

Single-handed and alone Guatemala could

A FATHERS CRIME.
Killed His Two-Year-Oid Girl and Put
Bullet I'm His Own Brain.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-William f.
McGrath, aged thirty-one, of No. 1922 South
Thirty-sixth street, went into the cellar of
his house this morning, called to his two
children, Samuel, aged six years, and Lii
liam, two years, who followed their father
into the cellar. He sent the boy upstairs
and with a revolver, shot the girl through
the head, killing her instantly. McGrath
then placed the weapon to his own head and
sent bullet through his brain. He was
o'clock.
The little girl and her brother were play
Ing up stairs when their father called to
them to come into the cellar. They went
down stairs and the boy was told to return
to the kitchen. He had scarcely reached
the first door when he heard two pistol
shots in rapid succession The boy called
to his mother and when she went to the
cellar. she found the little girl dead, her
The father was still breathing but died an
hoLr later. Subs equent developments go to
show that McGraths intended to murder
both children, but why he changed his
mind is a mystery. few days ago he
wrote a letter to newspaper saying that he
intended to murder his children nd then
commit suicide The letter was given to
the police and they went to McGrath's
house last night, but he pronounced the
letter a forgery. McCfrath has been en-
ployed on the Times in the capacity of
shown any symptoms of insanity. McGrati
left n letter addressed to his wife in which
he said he feared he would become insane
and asked her to forgive him.

In the Southwest.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. Pa severe
blizzard which started in at midnight last
night still prevails tonight all over the
Southwest with no sign of abatement. An
average of three feet of snow had fallen
at 10 o'clock tonight and a strong north
erly wind is drifting it badly, blocking all
kinds Of traffic and causing great hard
ship to farmers. 1t is very cold, and with
the thermometer still on the drop, much
suffering must ensue The storm is the
severest through central and western Kan
sas and the Territories. the Terri
tories reports of many cattle freezing to
death have already been received and as
the settlers are none too we'll provided
with food and shelter, probably many
fatalities will be recorded when the trans
portation and telegraphic facilities are
again opened up On the other hand, the
snow will prove in many respects benefit
to wheat. The blizzard came from Arkan-
sas and Louisiana. ana in many places
was preceded by rain and sleet making
the conditions more disagreeable. At
Perry, o. T., the thermometer tonight
registered degrees below, and like con-
ditions prevail elsewhere in the Territories.
At Atchison, Wichita and other Kansas
cities streer-car traffic is suspended and all
trains are late and blockade is feared.

Sergeant he had taken Rough on Rats and
wanted to die. On his face and hands was
a grayish powder, which added weight to
his story and caused medical attention to
be summoned at once, to which lutte no
doubt owes his life.
While lutte lying on cot at head
