ject is to move against the rebels

Why Admiral Dewey wants the

clear. Just how long this war
will last there, or how it will be
ended, is not clear, now, to even
the far seeing. At last accounts
everything was quiet at Manila.

Bribery IN Elections.

In connection with the article
III yesterdays issue on honest
elections we reproduced an editor
ial article from the Clinch Valley
News, in which our contemporary
shows that large sums of money
have b9en used i'll that section of
the State III carrying elections
this way or that.
The worst phase, undoubtedly.
b OF Corrupt election methods is bal.
lot-box stuffing. There can be
nothing meaner than that. 1t is
the lowest kind of thievery on the
face of the earth, for it is empty
ing the sneak thief methods to rob
an American citizen of his highest
privilege, that of casting vote
and having his will recorded in
behalf of men and measures. But
ballot box stuffing is by no means
the only method of corruption in
elections. Bribery and intimida.
ton are also employed to defeat
the public will and to give the pol
ltlclan his triumph. These meth
obs are none the less reprehensible
because they are not so bad as bal
lot-box stuffing, and non the less
to be denounced and, if possible to
be prohibited. We cannot fairly
lay claim to being free people
and to having a government of the
people until robbery, bribery, in
timidatiOn and all other species OF
fraud, which are resorted to defeat
the will of the people, have been

Why. Not IN farewell.

For several years feeble and futile
efforts have been made to have the
State Normal School hold its session
In Tazewell. One Of our sister towns
over on the main line, has secu. ed
the school every summer ana we see
from the papers that the Normal
will meet there again this summer.
Last summer poor old dead Rad ford
secured the school. Now, why cmr'j
we get this school here, at least 3nce
III lifetime. Is it because we are
too far i'll the backwoods to be reach
ed from the outside? Or are we too
poor to sustain it? Nay, verify, we
have all the natural benefits necessa-
ny. We have good building now to
accommodate it. Why we did not
succeed in our efforts sometimes is
difficult to see. Will Brc. Williams,

The Poor Farm Aqain.

There has been a good deal said,
pro and con, about the editorial in
last weeks issue on the Poor farm
deal, and some dirt flung into The air,
and not little at the editors of this
paper. Now, one thing the News
never does, and that is 10 make state
meuts which are not true, or for which
we have not good proof. If We make
mistakes, or are missnformed, which
is som etimes the case, we are always
ready to make corrections and apollo
gies. If any interested party wants
proof of what was said last week, and
will call at this office we will gladly
furnish it, or better still, our columns
are open to any one who has anything
to say on the subject. What we said
in that article is true unless some Of
the best people in Tazewell have woe
fully misrepresented things, which
we know cannot be the case. Fur
thcrmore, we think it due to the peo-
pie of the County and to the gentle
men themselves, that All explanation
be made.

The Election Contest.

Gen. JAS. a. Walker, " no is con-
testing the seat in congress to
which Jude VIM. +. Rhea was
elected last fall, is still taking dep
ositions, with the hope of sustain
ing charges of fraud which he has
made against the people OF Bristol
and other points in the Ninth Vir-
ginia district. Examinations of
witnesses were conducted at three
different places in the city yestcr-
day-at Hotel ST. Lawrence and the
old Fowler building, on the Vir-
ginia side, and at the Office of Grey
Childres, notary republic, on the
Tennessee side. a number of wit
nesSeS were examined, but nothing
of special Importance was proved
by any of them, and only three or
four of them stated that they had
voted for Walker
NJ. Il. Powers, the republican
judge of the congressional election
in Bristol last fail was on the stand
at the Fowler building the greater
part of the day yesterday. The
testimony Of Mr.. Powers should be
entirely satisfactory to the demo
Gratis, as he stated that so far as
he knew the voting at said cleo
ton was conducted fairly and hon
estly in every particular. 80 at
trlbuted the large democratic ma
jority in tins city last fall to repub-
lican disailectiOn and lack of or
Sanizatiou and leadership. lie
said that at least half the colOred
people of Bristol, Virginia, had
come into the voting place and OPP
emily declared that they wanted
Rhea tickets.
Mr.. Powers was still on the stand
when adjournment was taken yes
terday afternoon. 1t is likely that
his deposition will be completed
today. IL. q. Hudson, the King
College student about whom there
has been SO much talk of having
cast an illegal vote for Judge Rhea,
ursssls examined at the Office of Mr..
AIS yesterday. His evidence
lows clearly that he is IA legal
voter.
Under the law the contestant has
seven days left of the forty DAYS
allowed him in which to take dep.
oSitionS. When his time expires
the cOnteStee will have forty DAYS
for the same purpose.
The peculiar mannerism of the
contestant, his particularly imper
