Story.
When sSecret Service was first pro
duced in New York, the audiences for
the first week or two included a large
number of telegraph operators. attracted
by the vivid description given OF the
scene in which Gillette sends the mes
sage and is shot through the hand. In
terest in this part of the play waned
slightly, SO far as the knights of the
KEY were concerned, when it was found
that the telegraphing, while it sounded
very real to the uninitiated, was nothing
but succession of meaningless clicks.
Why it was expected that there should
be real telegraphing any more than
there should be real killing on the stage
was explained by an old operator re-
Gently. .sThere fingers in the mind OF
all the older men in the business, = said
he, ssthe memory of the telegraphing
scene in Oliver Doud Byron's play,
Across tie Continent, in which gen.
uine operator was substituted for the
actor long enough to tick out a welcome
to any member of the profession who
might be in the audience 1t was at
Mrs. John Drew's old Arch Street thea
ter in philadelphia, about 10 years ago.
Every plight the man on the stage would
spell out: Good evening, boysl If you
are all t>eling we'll, rap out an answer
on the ircn support Of the seat in front
of you All together, now-one. two,
three. Col
''The rest of the audience were be-
wildered by the ticking all over the
house, and it was great fun for the boys
and shrewd move on the part of the
management, for it attracted telegr.s-
piers in great force They enjoyed the
puzzled expression Of the people, who
couldn't understand the unanimity Of
the answer from tue gallery, orchestra
and lobby. Of course the talk between
the stage and the house was not con-
fined to this salutstion. 1t was on all
sorts of sopics, usually in the form Of
an Interrogation, with request for a
simultaneous answer The story has
been told to the younger men, and
whenever play is produced in which
a telegraph key figures they like to see
e the experience will be repeated. -

A GREAT DANGER AVERTED.

A very small vote was polled in the State
last Thursday; but there were enough who
turned out and who appreciated sufficiently
the object of the promoters of a consti-
tutional convention to defeat the call for a
convention by an overwhelming majority.
This winds up the schemers who intended
to disfranchise large number ofthe voters
of Virginia. Now if there are any changes
needed in our present constitution let them
be pointed, but in sensible way, and
brought before the people in the way
of amendments.

THE TARIFF FOR THE PEOPLE,
The Kind of Bill They Want and Which
They Should BE Given.
Chicago Inter Ocean, Rcp.l

Chicago Inter Ocean, Rcp.l
The tariff bill now is on the threshold of
the Senate. 1t ought not to stay there an
hour longer than is needful. Nor ought
it to be sent to the House in form that
will insure its rejection by that body.
The tea duty Recommended by the
Finance Committee ought to be eliminated
without debate. Only in time of war,
or in the recoDstructonary era consequent
thereon, has tea duty been tolerated by
the people. Such a duty is direct OPP
position to all Republican theories of tariff.
/ A tea duty is a tax, pure and simple. 1t
is Republican policy 10 levy duties on
foreign goods that compete with home
manufactures, and to admit free of duty all
goods or products that cannot be raised or
made in the United States. 1t is mere
Midsummer madness to suppose that
"tea tax"-the phrase has been obnoxious
since the day of "the Boston tea party
will be acceptable to the people. The
sugar and wool duties ought to accepted
by the Senate as prescribed by the Dingley
bill; and new tariff, productive of rev.
enue by encouragement Of manufactures
and agriculture, ought to be enacted before
July l, 1897.
The Senate cannot afford to delay the
passage of such law. The House is fresh
from the people; it has been instructed
recently by the people. The Senate can
not justly plead that it is its duty to pre-
vent the House from acting under an i'm
pulse of suddenly excited popular feeling.
The instructions of the people upon tariff
have been framed carefully, painfully and
intelligently during four weary years, in
which there has been a too abundant
forced leisure for consideration. The
geater part Of year has elapsed since
the people elected Mckinley as the in
carnation of the protective tariff idea, and
elected Congressman pledged to hissupport
The people think in May, 1897 just as
they thought in November, 1897. They
do not want tariff for revenue, such as
the Senate Committee advises; they want
tariff for revenue and protection, such as
the Dingley bill provides.

pie the Democrats are i'll the majority.
We have nearly 100 negro votes, and
considerable floating vote, which the Re-
publicans have managed to control, by
various and sundry methods. The ''main-
stay has to be braced pretty securely
every year.-Clinch Valley News.
The editor of the Clinch Valley News
has early in his journalistic career fallen
into error and misrepresentation. He
makes assertions that he cannot sustain
and asserts as facts, things that are not
true. When did the gentleman becomeso
we'll informed that he feels authorized to
state how public sentiment is shaped in
the Ninth District? If he is eager to serve
his party he has chosen bad method of
doing 80. SANDER always rebounds and
Injuries the one who employs 1t as a weapon.
AS TO the assertions of the News in con-
ncction with Tazewell County, they have
no foundation in fact. The entire regis
tered negro vote in the county, we are in
formed, will not exceed SEQ. The Repub-
licans, no doubt, get majority OF that
vote, but not all. They have more trouble
at Pocahontas than any other precinct in
the county, and the negro vote is largest
at that precinct. A negro Bryan free sill
YER club was organized there before the
Presidential election; and number of ne
groes must have voted the Democratic
ticket, or their votes were counted that
way.
The Republicans have large majority
of the white vote in Tazewell County, as
the facts will show. The following pre-
cincts in Maiden Spring District have nearly
a solid white vote: Midway, Liberty Hill,
Lockhart's Chapel, Richlands, Pounding
Mill, Poor Valley, Cedar Bluff and Thomp-
sons Valley At these nine precincts there
were not 100 negro votes cast, and yet, the
Republicans carried them by 534 majority.
At Lockhart's Chapel there is not negro
vote and Mckinley got 1873 votes while
Bryan got only 81 In other districts, at
precincts where the vote is nearly solidly
white, similar results obtained. Cove
Creek, a white precinct, gave Mckinley 80
and Bryan IS; Clear Fork, Mckinley AZ,
Bryan %; Crockett's Cove, where there is
not a negro vote, Mckinley SIS, Bryan 26,
Gap Store, where there are but two negro
votes, Mckinley los, Bryan %.
We feel it unnecessary to say more in
refutation of the slanderous insinuations of
the News as TO the methods of the Repub-
lican party in the Ninth District and in
Tazewell County.

and confusion of thought, and yet all re-
form turns upon them. One is the
retirement of the greenbacks and the other
the quantity of money, or, as it is some
times called, "the cumulative theory Of
money!" In respect to the retirement OF
the Government notes there are thousands
of very honest and earnest men who cannot
see why these notes should be with
drawn from circulation. They have been
accustomed to their use all their lives, they
think they see in them a currency alb
solutely safe, and that they are in some
way peculiarly sacred to the American
people. Their first question is when re-
tilement is proposed, "What are you
going to give us in their placer"
Then arises the other point. There is not
enough money, and the less money there
is the more of other commodities will have
to be gwen in order to obtain it. This
makes money dear, they say, and other
things cheap. This was the great alarm-bell
sounded by Bryan and Altgeld in the last
campaign-the foundation of all their ar
guments. The theory is fallacious, for it
it not true that prices, either of labor or Of
commodities, are dependent on the guam
tity of money. They are dependent fol
their value on themselves, on their own
quantity, as rejecting persons must be
brought to see.
1t will be one ofthepurposes ofthe Sound
Money League to disabuse the public mind
upon Interpretations and then to lay out
the safepathway to reform.

THE Clinch Valley News in its issue
last week made an extract from our local
account of the closing exercises ofTazewell
College, and saw fit to give q gratuitous
construction to that extract, construction
which We know the committee, it VOL
unteered to defend, would not have placed
upon it. Our neighbor, like all neophytes,
in political journalism, is not careful
enough TO distinguish between q political
article and one that is intended to be
purely local news. This will serve as an
excuse for the unjust and gratuitous mean
ing the News gave to our article. If other
motives impeled it to work harm 10 us
by assuming that we had, indirectly,
sought to reflect upon the honorable
gentlemen who constituted the committee,
we would denounce it as reprehensible
journalism.
The members of that committee have
been Two intimately associated with the
editor of this paper to entertain for a
moment the suggestion of the News.
In fact, when the local account was written
we did not know who constituted the COM
mittee.

THE next State Democratic convention
will meet at Roanoke August IL. Naturally
the State would havepreferred to have it
at Richmond, but we do not doubt, as the
plan of sending the convention around to
the various cities of the State has been
adopted, it was wise to givethe convention
to the Magic City. The Ninth Congress
ional district in the Southwest is now the
mainstay of the Virginia Republicans, and
Roanoke is the nearest city to this battle

. 1 may be true that the Ninth district is,
as stated, the "mainstay" of The Repub-
licans, but it is SO only through the use of
money, and other means employed to
make it so. Take Tazewell County, the

The Mississippi Sufferers.

The army officers practically completed
their work Of relieving the destitution
caused by the floods in the Mississippi river.
They report their work well and impartial'y
done and that only half the appropriation
will be needed. Congress appropriated
$500, 900 for the purpose. The officers say
that the alleged restitution increased
enormously as soon as 1t was known that
Congress had given money and if the cases
had not been impartially investigated d
million dollars would not have been suffi-
cient.
The question is being quietly discussed
why not send army officers to Cuba TO
disburse the cash appropriated for the
starving Americans there. In that case,
none of the money would reach the peck
cts of Spanish officers, but the Spanish
would undoubtedly refuse to permit such
action as the officers would assuredly re-
port the military situation there.

THE SOUND MONEY CAUSE
Work Begun to Educate the People on
This Important Question.
Chicago Times-Herald, Ind.l

Chicago Times-Herald Ind.l
The campaign for sound money-for the
unquestioned establishment of gold as the
standard of our money and for the
reform of our banking system-is
now begun. The National Sound
Money League has effected an
organization that will reach into every
State, and from this time forward until
the issue is finally settled will carry on an
aggressive campaign of education and re-
form.
1t is none too soon. Much work was done
in the last campaign, but it was based
more on general principles than upon
specific policies The great and command
ing questions then were, Shall we main
tain the worlds standard of money and
the worlds standard of national integrity?
Byan enormous majority of the popular
vote the American people answered those
questions in the affirmative. We are now
to advance to the next position and outline
the policy by which we propose to main
tain them. This will be the issue upon
which the next Congress will in all pro-
liability be elected, and it is of the utmost
Importance that clear and distinct policy
be outlined and favorably impressed on
the public mind. Discussion and eluci-
dation of the general subject Of money will
do much to clarity the ideas Of the people
and bring them at last to see what must be
done.
At the threshold of the discussion two
questions present themselves concerning
which there is the greatest Misrepresentation
