TIE Manitoba Free Press says that
Sin a spectacular dance given at = re-
cent entertainment in this city there
was q representation OF the American
flag, the appearance OF which vas loud
ly cheersd. A similar representation OF
the Canadian or British flag in almost
any American city would be Kissed; in
no city would it be cheered. That 10 the
difference between the two peoples.
Canadians are courteous enough to b.
complimentary to to the emblem OF a
neighboring nation; Americans are
not" The criticism Of Americans is un-
just and disproven by the fact that the
British flag was canspicuousIy display
ed on one of the floats in the Spokane
fruit fair parade last Tuesday. But the
Free Press is given to windy phrase
Ology and egotistlcal boasting, and in
another column says that lone Canad-
ian is as good as two Americans and
Canada could go ever and lick the
United States any morning" Talk is
cheap and bayonets and bullets are eff
tective, and in a conflict between the
two countries the Free Press would find
the Americans equal to any emergency.

Our esteemed friend the Bristol News
in its daily issue of August 31st, 1897,
copied short article from the TAzEwELL
REPUBLICAN on the subject of a state con-
vention, and the action of the state COM
mittee in regard thereto, and proceeds to
comment on the same, intimating that the
REPUBLICAN is the organ ofthe Republic
ans of Tazewell county, that bolt is prob
able on the part of our Tazewel friends,
&c. Now while it is unpleasant for us to
ever think of having to defend such loyal,
worthy Republicans as are in that county,
since their standing is impugned, we feel
it our duty to say to our contemporary
that we know and he knows that no better,
more loyal, worthy men and Republicans
live in Virginia today than the Republicans
of Tazewell, and he knows as We know
that they never bolted and never will bolt
their party.
Tazewell Republicans have always been
the backbone of the party in this district,
and have done more to make our party
success than any other people in Virginia.
They were entitled to all the patronage
they have heretofore received; and Col.
Bowen, will be made Marshal if Tazewell
gets what the Republicans of this District

tions mean the end of all trust and
confidence between men, and, in short
time, the ending of representative gov
eminent. They substitute the work of the
thimble-rigger for the honest expression
of the peoples voice.
We do not conine Our censure in this
connection to improper manipulation of
ballots and the ballot boxes. We include
in Cur denunciation every species OF action
that interferes with the full and free ex-
preston of their will by the people.
Bribery of voters and intimidation ofthem

actual ballots cast, and substitution of
others for them. We want to make this
point clear, because we have heard it
stated that The Times had no censure for
any but ballot-box suffers.
We hope every voter will ask every
candidate for the Legislature this fall if he
is in favor of enacting laws that will secure
US honest elections and that he will refuse
10 vote for any candidate whatever who
does not say openly and above board that,
if elected to the Legislature, he will do all
in his power to have laws passed that will
end all fraudulent elections of every
kind.

THE MAIN ISSUE.
Richmond Times.l

Richmond Times.l
The general demand for an honest elec-
ticn law is, in the opinion of The Times,
the paramount issue before the Virginia
people at the coming election.
For long time this paper had very
uphill work in trying to convince the
people of this State that their elections
were in great part, fraudulent. But the
evidences we submitted, coupled with the
enquiries which those proofs caused the
people to set on foot for themselves, have
aroused considerable interest in the subject,
and have brought home to many of the
people much stronger state of conviction
than many suppose, that in some parts
of the State we have no elections at all, but
only what expert ballot-box suffers choose
to proclaim as elections.
1t is hardly too much to say that this is
the most serious matter with which the
people of this State have to deal. We say
this with DE regard to the transcendent
Importance the free silver issue. Free
silver would wreck business and bring
financial disaster. But We could work out
of the results of that in time. After a
while we should accommodate our trans
actions after fashion to silver dollar now
worth forty cents, and always shifting in
value, and after while we would sgain
re-establish something approaching a
restoration of confidence amongst men.
1t would take many years, but the thing
would be possible. We should have
suffered an incalculable injury, but it
would be an injury that we could repair.
But we can never repair the injury that
fraudulent elections do us. They mine
and sap the foundations ofsociety. They
attack
"The fountain from which
The current runs or else dries up"
They undermine the character of the
people, and toll honest men along into
first countenancing, then conniving at and

GOLD BY THE TON.
Gov Brady Corroborates Reports
of the Rich Finds.

WASHINGTON, SEPT 4.-John G. Brady,
Governor of Alaska, has sent to Secretary
Bliss personal letter, in which he gives
some interesting facts about the rush for
the Klondike region. Governor Brady has
been Unidentified with Alaskan interests
most of his lifetime, and is known to be
very conservative in his opinions. Writ
ing from Juneau, he say:
steamers are passing daily for Dyea
and Skaguay, loaded to the utmost with
passengers and supplies. The news just
out of Klondike by reliable men is calcu-
lated to laise the excitement to q higher
pitch. The shipment of dust by the
mouth Of the Yukon will be all of TWO and
half tons. Rich finds have been made
well up on the sides of the mountains, and
the old saying that gold is where you find
it, and silver runs in veins, seems to be
emphasized in that district"
