DURING che Greek war we lost
sight, almost, Of Cuba. Now that
the Greeks and Turks have finish
ed their little scrap, the attention
OF the country is once more turned
toward suffering, struggling Cuba.
Congress has appropriated the
sum of $4,000 to relieve starving
Americans on the island. This is
our first step, though an indirect
one, which has any bearing upon
the attitude of our Government
towards this war. The American
Government sustains about. the
same relation to the Cuban war
that the Powers did to the Graeco.
Turkish war. Will the United
States look on in Indifference, as
did so called Christian Europe.
and permit the triumph of the
wrong over the right, the strong
over the weak!

The Gillespie Medal.

Last week the Gillespie Literary
Society OF the College held it's an.
n"al entertainment, ut which time
the question us Mckinley a create,
man than Bryan;" was discussed. and
decided in favor of MIR. Bryan, and
the uedal awarded accordingly. ThD
Tazewell Republican said, in regard
to this decision:
The audience was, however, lar e.
ly favorable to Mr.. Mcclure. who
represented the affirmative, and some
OF the gentlemen present were so
liked in this conviction that they
have determined to provide a medal
and present it TO Mr.. Mcclure
We wish to say that the committee
which decided this question was
composed of H. G. Peery, Rev. |. p.
Martin and j. w. SPOTS, Zen who
we all know to be capable and con.
scientious, and who would not allow
their p@ejudices to run awey with
their judgement. While the au
dlence" as is usual on such occasions.
was composed of children, young
boys and girls, and others who do
not always pay strict attention, aud
II they did are not always capable of
Judging of the merits of debate.
Mr.. Mcclure was unfortunate in
espousing the weak side of the ques
hon-this and not the judges, is re-
sponsible for his defeat.
Possibly the political aspects of
this question did not suit Brother
Pendleton exactly.

CUBA AND CONGRESS.

The Congress of the United
States has, at last, taken two
steps toward aiding Cuba in her
struggle for freedom. Fifty thOus.
and dollars appropriated for the
suffering Americans there, and
the passage of the Morgan reSoIu-
ton. This action of the govern
ment, it is thought, will lead to
other steps being taken. Quite
naturally Spain objects to the
Morgan resolution. If ever a
good spanking was needed, Spain
needs it, and why Uncle Sam don't
take her across his lap and do so is
mystery. We venture the asser-
ton, that if the truth was known
some private interests are being
protected at the expense of the
lives and liberties of the Cubans.
The Morgan resolution, which
has passed the Senate is as follows:
Resolved, by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States in Congress assemb.
led, That condition of public
war exists between the Govern
ment Of Spain and the govern.

The New York Sun saws that
"buSIness can revive and reach
the height of prosperity common
surate with our natural advan-
tages upon certain conditions

pie ought to keep their mouths
shut and wait. The millions who
voted against Mckinley, as we'll
as those who voted for him have
right to speak out in regard TO
the promises made by the rCpubli-
can leaders last year. As a matter
OF fact we were assured, wisely or
unwisely, by the republican lead
erS, that republican victory meant
Immediate prosperity. The only
"conditiOn" was, select McKinley.u

They know their rights, and dare

THE next State Democratic con

August IL. Naturally the State
would preferred to have il 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 give the convention to the
Magic City. The Ninth Con gress.
lonal district in the Southwest is
now the mainStay of the Virginia
Republicans, and Roanoke is the
nearest city to tins battle ground
Richmond State.
1t may be true that the Ninth
district is, as stated, the "main
stay" of the Republicans, but it is
so only through the use Of
money. and other means employed
to make it so. Take Tazewell
County, the strongest Republican
County in the district, for instance:
Among the white people the Dem
ocrats are in the majority. We
have nearly 100 negro votes. and
a considerable floating vote, which
the Republicans have managed to
control, 10y various and Sundry
