consolidation Of the Consumers Gas
Company. the Peoples Gas Light and

SheIterInq Stock.

The severe blizzard which recently
swept over the country emphasizes
afresh the necessity of providing
shelter for stock in winter. Thous-
ands of heads of cattle and other
stock persisted during the blizzard
from exposure to cold. The loss
among us, though considerable, was
slight, compared to that in states
north and west of us, owing princi'
pally to the fact that the intense
cold was of shorter duration here
than there.
Of course, on the great cattle and
sheep ranches of the west, it is i'm.
practicable, for various reasons, to
attempt to shelter the stock.
Not so with us. There is no good
reason why every farmer who I'M
dertakes to raise stock. should not
have scattered about over the past
ures, sheds, under which his stock
might find shelter duting severe
billiards..
y. this country where timber and
are cheap and abundant, the
Of building such shelters would
oe comparatively small. That it is
a costly business policy to leave the
stock out an the bleak hills, without
shelter, with the thermometer twenty
degrees below zero, will readily he
admitted by thoughtful and intelii-
gent men.
1t is also cruel and inhumane. Nc
merciful or humane man can rest
contentedly at night, who remem-
bers that his stock are suffering, snd

The Presidents Speech.

President McKinlcy's recent
speech before the Home Market
Club, of Boston, taken as a whole,
was a Tue address. But, rs the
Richmond Times truthfully re-
marks, the speech did not voice the
sentiments of his party on "lmpcr-
ialism." 1t contains several utter
ances which are exactly opposed to
portions of his Atlanta speech, that
so much fuss has been made about,
and which contained a great deal of
"gush." The President seems to
be capable of making just the speech
to catch the particular crowd he is
addressing. In his Boston speech
this stat, ment occurs: "Desertion
of duty is not m American quality"
If we remember correctly the St.
Louis platform upon which Mr.. Nc
Kinley was elected pledged him and
the party to bimetalism, and to
make every effort to secure it. With
the control Of both Houses of Con-
gress, why is it then, that this "duty"
has not been discharged9 The same
may be asked of other pledges and
planks in the st. Louis platform.
The "desertion of duty is not an
American quality" but it does seem
to be Republican quality" in
these instances, nevertheless.

The Poor Farm Deal.

The meeting of the Board of Super,
vsors to recommend II Superintend--
ent for the County farm, was held on
Monday last. 1t seems to have been
a fore-gone conclusion that Jno. +.
Litz, the present incumbent, who has
made splendid manager in every
way, should be put out. There were
four candidates: John f. Litz, John
w. Buchanan, b. Gillespie and rhos.
lIenkle. 1t seems that Buchanan
was not in it, at all. Jas. Ed. Peery
recommended Jno. +. Litz, the pres
ent incumbent-a man of experience,
who has given entirc satisfaction,
beside turning money into the treas.
urry every year. There was d deal
made between the two other super
Sisors, Messrs Burke and Grecvcr,
and the two candidates, Messrs Hen
kle and Gillespie, to the effect That
the candidate recommended for the
place should pay the rejected cam
didate $4,000 ayenr out of the al
lowance Of $4,000 made by the
county for the superintendent salary.
In other words, us we understand it,
Mr.. llenkle was bought off, with one

Our Big Celebration This lear.

Mr.. Jno. p. Gose, of Burlle's
Garden, called us up one day this
week, and asked how the fair and
celebration for this fall was pro
crossing. Mr. Gose says he APP
proves the idea entirely Of having
an old fashioned fair.
The people generally, we believe
endorse the suggestion of having
an entire week Of solid enjoyment
and social pleasure. There would
be crowds of people from different
sections of the State, and Tazewell
people living in other states would
take advantage of the occasion to
revisit their old home, and renew
old friendships. Distinguished Wis.
itors, speakers and musicians
would be here. The hotels and
boarding houses and stores would
reap a rich harvest. A colonial
oall, with costumes of hundred
years ago, would close the Grand
carnival. We sincerely hope TO
see the plan carried out. Will
some one nominate chairman or
president of g committee to be ap
pointed by himself to, consider
ways and means, etc. 1t is none
TO soon to begin.
