up to high standard. Dependence upon

small basis. Nearby operators showed
no special activity. The mail orders are
now for larger amounts than has hitherto

administration people will select to lead
their fight in the coming municipal cleo
ton. There is a Mayor and four aldermen

feeling that the administration folks
should put up no other man than the pres

past few years administration of city af-

craftsmanship on the part OF England

IN several very important respects
Dewey resembles Grant, says the St.
Louis Republic. He is original and
audacious. Nobody ever heard him
grumbling about any inadequacy Of
means at his command or the char
ccter of the task 10 which he is
assigned. He does h work prompt
ly and checrfully with the forces at
his disposal. He does it so thoroughly
that it will never have to be done over
again by him or anybody else.
Dewey will, in history, have the pri-
macy among the fighters Of the Span
ish war which Grant had amono
those of the war of secession. The
contest for second and third place
among the great personalities of the
war of 1893 may be keen, but the
first place belongs to Dewey.

Walkers Speech.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me the priv
ilege to call the attention of Gen
James a. Walker to some very i'm.
portant facts in connection with his
speech Of August both at this place
lie compares the three admiuistra-
tions"but fails to tell his audience that
March LIST, 1889, the time that IIar-
riSon'S administration commenced,
there was a surplus in the treasury
of $23l,732,6l3.59, after Cleve-
land had paid on public debt $685.
.074,S50, and March LIST, 1898, the
beginning of Cleveland's second
term, there was only $l49, 643, III SO
in the treasury, notwithstanding Har-
riSon had paid $7S,9S1, 200 less than
Cleveland on the public debt, and
that the Harrison administration, in
order to tide over a depleted treas
ury the bank note redemption fund
of $54, 207, 1875, by a special act in
1890, was made available, and that
the same administration defaulted in
the requirement of $50, 2O1,6S7.S7 of
the sinking fund. That Harrison's
was coersed into the
extension $25, 1854, 500 bonds, which
is equal to issuing that amount.
Gen. Walker, as a candidate for
should have told the citi-
zens of Big Stone Gap that under
the workings of the Mckinley tariff
aw the receipts of the treasury was
changed from $S5, 04O,271 in excess
IF expenses to $69,8O3, 26O.5S ex-
oenses in excess of receipts, and that
he Wilson tariff law reduced the
excess of expenses over receipts from
1903, 26O.5S to $25, 203, 245.70.
The above are facts and Gen.
Walker has learned that they are
tubborn things, and his speech
throughout must have been disgust

Rhea at Bland.

\ dispatch from Bland G. H., datec
Aug. 9th, to the Bristol Times
Courier, says:
Hon. w. f. Rhea spoke here today
to large and enthusiastic crowd o
people, it being court day. His
speech was we'll received, and he
made a very favorable impression on
the people of the county of both
parties. After discussing fully the
issues of the campaign, he referred to
a personal matter that has been cir
culated in the district by the republi-
can papers and individuals, which is
explained below as follows when he
said:
Il have a copy of the speech made by
General Walker at farewell G. II. on last
Monday, in which it is said, that on a
certain occasion in the city Of Richmond
in "a contest for the United States Senate
in legislative body, of which was not a
member, that had said, when certain
gentleman had been defeated, that Thank
God, they had dOwned the old rebels at
last" That is the statement that General
Walker made in his speech at 1azewel G..
II. do not know whether he made it
upon his own responsibility or upon the
responsibility OF others, but however it
may be, want to denOgnce it as cruel
aud outrageous lie, coming from whatever
source it may. 1t was stated in paper in
my town by personal enemies of mine, and
| paid no attention 10 it because | do not
often pay any attention to anonymous COM
municatiOns, but when il comes from the
republican candidate | think il deserves
my attention, and ii General Walker made
this upon information, | hope lie will not
repeat it, or from whatever source it may
come, in this form or any other, it is as
cruel and as Infamous lie as ever came
from human lips. My father was Il con-
federate soldier and died in the service
near Petersburg lie and his four brothers
left widowed mother when | was but |
child, and went TO the front, as gallant a |
band o. brothers "a left any southern |
home. My father died, two of my uncles
were killed at the battle of Sharpsburg
and the other two, though wounded, fol-
lowed Lee to AppOmattox. They were
brave soldiers, and have the consolation
IF knowing that none of my kith or kin
ever petitiOned the president of the United
States for pardon, or acknowledged that
hey were in error in espousing the cause
If secession. have tried to be fair in
discussing General Walkers public record
md it | should at any time be convinced
nat have done him an injustice will
be manly enough to correct it,
trust shall have no occasion to notice
his matter again"
When Judge Rhea referred to the
act that meme of his kin had ever
'etitioned the president for pardon,
r acknowledged that they were in I
rror in espOusing the cause of seceS-
ion, a yell went up that shook the
curt house.

GEN. BLAYco is in fair way to
become a strong advocate of the an.
neXation OF Cuba to the United
States. In the last proclamation he
put forth he urges Spaniards in that
island to appeal to this country for
"a guarantee of personal safety and
the protection of property interests. 3"
There woald be no sense in such an
appeal, of course, if Gen. Blanco be-
lieved the Cubans could be trusted
to do justice to the Spanish element
in Cuba. He even goes so far as to
say to the Spaniards that eff you do
as | counsel yon, the United States"
not the Cubans-"will take care
OF your lives and your interests. +"
oddly enough it was this same Span
lsh commander who, only a few
months ago, sought to establish
autonomy in Cuba,and offered Cubans
'he largest share of government in |
hat island.

AMONG the first war vessels to &C
ont of service are the two fast cruisers
Columbia and Minneapolis, which al
the time of their completion, six years
ago, were regarded as ideal crafts for
Federal navy. These are the two
fastest vessels of their class ahoat;
yet the hard experience of actual con-
flict has demonstrated their mad
equacy to perform the most valuable
and necessary service required of a
ship OF war-to engage with and
destroy the enemy's ships. Heavy
batteries and protected gun decks will
be imperative requirements for the
fast cruisers of the future, which will
be sea fighters, not mere ocean scouts.

England and the Nicaragua Canal

England and the Nicaragua Canal
One of the questions that will have
to be discussed very frankly between
the United States and England in the
near future is that of the political
control of the Nicaragua Canal. The
people of the United States have been
accustomed to look upon the Clayton
Bulwer treaty as totally obsolete and
outgrown. This view also has been
in general, if we mistake not, accent
ed by our English friends. But there
has been some disposition to assert
that Mr. Clayton in the sos had sue
ceeded in tying the hands of the
American nation through all time TO
come as respects an American owner
ship and control of the canal which
Will be virtually part of our coast
line, and which we must certainly
construct in the near future for naval
II not commercial purposes. Joint
control is not a feasible proposition.
lnsIStence upon it by England would
endanger those good rela-
tons between TIE two great English
speaking countries that are SO vain
able to both and so essential to the |
