What is the matter With Brother
Leslie, of the Clinch Valley News'
That paper is now advocating fair
elections and honest election laws
for Virginia. Has it grown tired OF
its old sinful democratic ways?-
Sonth Western Sentinel.
A startling accusation is made
against Democratic paper by the
Wytheville Sentinel. 1t claims that
the Clinch Valley News has SO far
forgotten its Democracy of the Vir.
ginia brand as to favor fair election
law in that state.-Bluefeld Tele.
graph.
A great man once said that fall
men think every other man dishonest
but themselves Aud that is about
the way with our Republican breth
rem. From the tone of their papers
the only ballot box thieves and cor,
ruptionists are democrats. No hon
est man will deny that there has
been fraud, of one kind or another
i'll many n Virginia election. But
are the Democrats the only sinners?
The reputation of the two parties
stands about this way: The demo-
Gratis, in some places steal the vote,
the Republicans buy it. We arise
to a privileged question. Which
is the worst, to buy votes or to steel
them! Is greater crime against
humanity to steal its possessions
than to deprive them of theiI legal
In wiul rights as American citizens?
The objection to the Walton law,
under present conditions, is that it
gives the Republicans little or no
opportunity to steal votes. They
claim that the Democrats have a
monopoly of the business, and they
don't like it. The worst aspect of
the case is that our censors do not
seem to have tired Of their sinful
republican ways. They are given
over to hardness of heart. If our
neighbors will 10 the necessary
sweeping about their own doors
they will have little time to sweep up
other peoples dirt.

A Fovored Land.

Scarcely day passes that we
do not hear of fearful catostrophes
in different parts of the country
OF cyclones, storms, floods,
epidemics sc. of one kind and an
other, destructive to life and
property. All of which reminds us
how highly favored are the people
of Virginia; and particularly, of
Tazewell. We are free from these
devastating casualties, still many
Of us are dissatisfied, and more
still are not appeciativc.

Whipping Post For Boys.

An exchange says, that a whip
ping post for boys who are indiffer-
emf to parental control has been
established at Evansville Ind.
This seems to be one solution of
the perplexing problem of what to
do with boys who are violators of
the law, but too young to punish
otherwise or tine. If parents would
establish small sized "whipping
post" at home for these incOr-
rigibles there would be no need
of establishing such things pub
licly, or passing "Cerfewn laws,
and when ever such things become
a necessity it isn't hard to tell
what kind Of parental control is
exercised. Boys, and girls too,
$50 to seed" too early these days,
and parental authority, and even
respect, is unknown in many homes.
"Ilome' means to many children
what the pen is to the pig-simply
a place to eat and sleep when the
time comes. Boys should be given
freedom, but not license unre-
strained. There are places in
other towns that we could name
besides Evansville, where few
private whipping posts arc needed.

Can This be Trues
The Washington correspondent Of

LAO w OOsASSPOhNNaS VI
the Philadelphia Times says:
The administrator has given up
all hope CT ending the struggle in
the Philippines ut present. The
plans for the annihi.ation of the
rebellion have failed, and now .here
is nothing to be doue but wait until
fall and inaugurate fresh campaign
against the insurgents.
1T is sad here that the Preside \ t
has made up his mind that atleast
10000 more men are needed in order
to hold what we have gained"
After naming the troops aud reg
iments likely to be ordered to the
Philippines and their present loca-
ton, the Times says, "the well known
military man," declares:
"The situation in the philippines
is absolutely revolving to those who
understand it; and those who know
all of the facts consider it a disgrace
to our nation. The plain fact of the
matter is, horrible us it may be to
contemplate, that the lives of our
soldiers will be sacrificed, and our
hold upon The Philippines will be
threatened, Ill order that this war
may be continued for another year.
After months OF delay, such AS
exaSperated our people and com

when the time arrives and it is
deemed good politics to mako u

soldiers and ships will be sent to

insurgents. If this game If dilly
