Salt Your Hides.

Most farmers when they kill a
beef, throw the hide across the fence
TO dry, and do not know that, by so
doing, they lose from one TO two
dollars on each hide. A hide should
be sailed as soon as it is taken from
the animal. When dried it is liable
to be moth-eaten very soon; and it is
ifficult, and often impossible, for
the tanner to soften the skin without
rotting it more or less. Even sheep
pelts and all other skins, are more
valuable for tanning when sailed
than when dried If they are dried
at all it should 5e in the shade only.

FRIDAY, APRIL z, 1899.
SquareH against 1t.

The Lynchburg News of March
31st, says: "'Thc News takes its
tandIsquarely against the PROPOSE,
ton to amend the Federal Constitu-
ton SO as to alter the present system
of eleeting Senators to the Congress
of the United States"
The reason given by this distin-
guished paper is, that the reasons
prevailing a hundred years ago,
when the present system was estab-
lshed, are in as full force today as
then. If the reasons which occurred
to our fathers hundred years ago,
are Gas cogent today as they were
then," the News is right in opposing
the move. But, are they? Do the
same conditions exist today as then?
Most certainly not. Iu every de-
partment-population-general in.
telligence, science, the development
of business, ideas of government
all have changed, entirely, and
in fact, it seems the difficult thing
to do now to put your hand on ex-
listing conditions that are the same.
Of course, the fact that "a custom
is old is not always a good reason
for clinging to it-or abandoning it
either. We understand, however,
that the News is not opposed to the
adoption of some plan or scheme by
which the whole people may be al
lowed to express their choice, in the
election of Senators.

HIS Memory Kept Green.

The Republican papers in this
district, and in fact all over the
country, seem determined that Mr..
Bryan, who was declared dead, be.
yond resurrection, after the cam
paign of '96, and afterward, shall
not be, under any circumstances, al
lowed to rest peacefully in his grave.
AT least they are keeping his memo
ry fresh and green.
The Tazewell Republican, pub
lished in this town, hasn't had an
issue in many moons that was not
honored by containing illusions to
this great American citizen. True,
these illusions were not generally
complimentary to Mr.. Bryan, but
they helped considerably TO perpetu-
ate his memory and deeds among
the people, all the same.
The truth is, as everybody knows,
except those who are so blinded by
partisan prejudice that they cannot
know the truth, that Mr.. BRYAN.
taken all the way through and all
the way round, is the greatest living
American to-day.
1t is amusing to hear Mckinley
and Bryan compared, as our neigh.
Dor did a short time ago, to the det-
riment of Mr.. Bryan. In all the
essential qualities which 60 to make
up a great man and statesman, VIM
j. Bryan is ahead, not only of Mr.
Mckinley, but of any II man III
the United States, in any party.
No, Bryan is alive and we'll. The
nearly seven millions of people who
voted for him in 1896 are still stick
ing to him and growing, and unless
all signs fail will be heard from
again next year.

What Does 1t Mean g

Not long ago, according to New
York papers, 400 Methodist preach
ers, with Bishop Andrews presiding,
held convention, when Rev. Mr..
Cadman, pastor of the Metropolitan
church, made an address, in which
he declared that all the miracles OF
the Old Testament should be dis.
carded as fables. AID contrary to
reason. He ignored Moses and the
prophets, and al the wonderful
things recorded by them. The pa.
pers stated that there was almos,
unanimous applause when he
closed" and that there was no renl,
in contradiction.
Does this mean that the Metbo.
DIST brethren of the North have do
parted from the faith of the fa
theirs?

"Of the six and half mllio on peo.
pie who voted for me L was proud,
and of the men who worked SO faith
fully for me l was also proud. They
suffered all kinds of insults and
abuse. They submitted quietly to
the result of the court, though they
could not understand the increase in
population. often wonder wheth
err If we had WOO, they would have
submitted as quietly, but / believe
that after four years tue victory will
be so complete that the biggest trust
in this country will bow to the re-
suit in 1900. The past two years
have indicated our position which j.
the same as it was two years go,bul
the republican party has changed
greatly. It does not have the sam,
principles two years in succe ssion.

Mr.. Glass can easily secure the

would make as good Senator as he

thing more than the mere announce

to secure and hold the interest OF

therefore, intelligently conducted ad

THE DEMOCRACY.
A Frank Confession of It's ForlOrn
and Helpless Condition by
Party Paper.

Let us face the facts, let us no longer
deceive ourselves. The democratic
party to-day is without character and
standing in the nation. 1t has lost the
confidence, if not the respect of the
great body of intelligent, thoughtful
men of this country. What does the
party stand for? What are its prihci-
pies? What man is there in this party
to-day who can stand up with any sort
of confidence and declare them? Does
democracy stand for imperialism or eX-
pansion? Bryan answers one way and
Jones the other. Does it stand for free
silver or the si2gle gold standard?
Bryan and Jones answer one way;
Croker and distinguished member of
the national democratic committee an
swer another. Does the party stand for
tariff reform or protection? Nobody
knows, for the Chicago platform de-
clared that that question was retired
until the meney question should have
been settled.
Where are the party leaders? Where
are the great men of the past who could
upon any occasion, at any time of the
day or night, if called upon, stand up
and with accuracy and confidence pro-
claim democratic doctrines? There are
no leaders, there is no man or set of men
who are recognized to-day as the
mouthpieces of the party. There was
so-called leader of the minority forces
in the house of representatives. He
raised constitutional question and
called upon the democrats in the house
to stand by him in the position that he
assumed, but when the test came more
than 40 members of his party voted
against him, and he then and there re-
signed.
Alas for the party of Thomas Jeffer-
son! Surely it has fallen upon evil
times. 1t is paying the penalty of the
folly of 1896. Every prediction that we
made when it then went astray has been
fulfilled, or is about to be fulfilled. 1t
must reorganize upon true democratic
platform or so to pieces. Gentlemen
may mock at this, as they Knocked at it
in 1896, but it is the truth. Those who
then forsook the old ship must come
back to the little band of democrats
who remained and kept the eolors fly
ing, or be cked.-Richmond (Va.)

his oratorical flights. Yet Mr.. Bryan
