EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

So all the witnesses who declared they
knew of embalmed beef being furnished
the army have declined to testify under
oath. They should now be spoken of as
embalmed liars.
Senator Morgan, in a speech iavoring
the ratification of the peace treaty with
Spain, warned his associate Democratic
Senators against taking position against
the treaty, asserting that if they succeeded
in defeating it they would wreck the Dem
ocratic party. He ought to have said it
would wreck the wreck Of that palty.
Bryan's National Committee, which
Coin Harvey is now managing, has gone
regularly into the fakir business. The last
fake is partnership with cigar maker
who is to make brand of cigars and call
them Thomas Jefferson" Harvey's
committee will furnish the cigar maker
with labels for his boxes and certain per
cent. is to be paid Harvey, for a campaign
fund, on all cigars sold out of the boxes
labelled Thomas Jefferson" The ar
| dent free silverites will be called upon to
smoke these cigars. exclusively, when they
can be had. A pretty good scheme for
taking in soft-heads, and fine one to fill
the pockets of the cigar manufacturer and
the contribution box of Havey.
Of all the stupid partizan utterances
that have been made in the United States
Senate during the debate upon the treaty
with Spain none have reached the climax
of the ridiculous so completely as that of
Senator Money, of Mississippi, who de-
clared that the battle of Manila was in no
way necessary, and lauded Aguinaldo to
the skies. 1t is pitiful to see such hair
Drained partizan representing in the august
body (the u. S. Senate) State that
was once represented by such men as Will
liam C. Preston, Seargent S. Prentiss and
jefferson Davis. 1t does look like South
ern craftsmanship is reaching a low ebb.

Mr.. Bryan seems to be prospering won
derfully under the gold standard, if We
are TO judge by statement that comes
from one of his friends at Lincoln, Neb.,
Mr.. Bryan's home. The statement is that
MIR. Bryan paid taxes in 1896 to the
amount of S135, and in 1898 to the amount
of S322.77. In some way, within two years,
the defeated candidate for the Presidency
has increased his taxable holdings more
than one and half times. Has it been
by speculation or by legitimate business
methods, or has it been by duping the peo-
pie to pay him for delivering his eloquent
platitudes on the silver question? The
"Boy Orator" and "Coin" Harvey are
making a fat thing of the free silver
lunacy.

At the Opera House.

Next Monday night, the Lillian Tucker
Co., will open weeks engagement at the
opera house, giving performances SIX
nights and Saturday matinees, with en-
tire change of bill and specialties nightly.
The following is from the Lynchburg News:
A large audience was at the opera
house last evening to witness the opening
performance Of the Lillian Tucker Co. and
it is safe to say that there was not a per-
son present who did not derive great
deal of pleasure from the evenings enter
tainment. OF Miss Tucker and her sup
port much has been said and written, and
the fine reputation that preceded the
Company to Lynchburg was fully justi-
fed by last nights performance. The
presentation was very spirited and ami
mated and the specalties were very de-
lightful feature"
The opening bill Monday night will be
the imesistably funny comedy, GA Hero
in Rags" Seats are now on sale at jack
sons drug store, prices 10, 90 and 80
cents.

Revival Services Concluded.

The protracted services that have been
going on for over two weeks in the Meth
odist church were brought to 4 conclusion
Tuesday night. The principle part of the
preaching was done by Rev. J. S. French
and he did his work with great earnest
ness and ability. The series Of sermons
preached by hlnl during the meeting have
never been surpassed in Tazewell-at least
that is the opinion commonly pronounced
| by those who have been church-goers at
this place for many years.
The preacher has received as the reward
of his earnest labors deeper interest IN
spiritual matters upon the part of the
church members, and several converts to
the faith among the young persons in the
congregation. Each service during the
meeting was well attended. on most oc-
casions the church being filled.

4 Venerable Citizen.

Last week we mentioned the name, age,
etc, of Mr.. James T. Bane, venerable

more venerable citizen who now resides III

Washington county, Va, and when a
child about four or five years old his
father moved to Burk' IS Garden, So, Mr..
Greever has been living in the Garden
more than eighty-fve years. He remem-
bers when there was nothing but trail
running through the Garden from North
to South, about where the Wytheville and
Tazewell turnpike is now located. Then
no wagons had been brought to the Gar
den and no wagon roads were needed.
Mr.. Greever lives upon part of the land
which his father, Philip Greever, bought
when he moved there in 1872. He is re-
markably we'll preserved, rides about on
horseback and feeds his own horses, We

Secret Orders.

The town of Tazewell is leader in
many things; and for place of its size we
doubt if there is another town anywhere
that is so well supplied with secret
fraternities.
The Masons have Commandery of
Knights Templar, Tabernacle of Pilgrim
Knights, Il Chapter of Royal Arch Masons,
and Lodge Of Master Masons.
The Odd Fellows have Lodge Of |. o..
0. F's., and an Encampment of l. 0. o..
F's.
There is Lodge OF Jr 0. U. a. NJ. and
now Lodge of Knights of Pythias Las
been organized.
The colored citizens have Masonic
Lodge with a considerable membership.
These different organizations have en-.
rolled as members very large majority Of
the male citizens of the town.

EMRALMED BEEE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The war inveeti-
cation commission has nearly completed
its report of the condnct of the war de-
partment, and expects to report to the
president some time next week, probably
Wednesday.
ALI hope of hearing from James Farnan,
of Chester, Pa, who declared he had seen
beef treated with chemicals at Omaha,
has vanished, as he paid no attention to
the telegaaphic or written summons of the
commission. In fact, all the Witnesses who
declared Trey knew of embalmed beef
have declined to testify undsr oath.

Mckinley Hears the News.

News of the ratification of the treaty
reached the White House almost immed-
lately after the announcement of the vote.
Postmaster General Emory Smith was
with the President at the time and was the
first to congratulate him. The President
was gratifed at the vote, and so expressed
himself.
Within forty minutes after its ratifca-
cation, General Cox, the Secretary of the
Senate, appeared with the treaty, which
he promptly delivered into the Presidents
hands, and then retired.
Cabinet members, as they left the
White House, were jubilant over the rati-
fication of the treaty, and spoke of it as a
great triumph.

MAY CoURT-MARTIAL MILES.

The scope of this inquiry has not been
defined, but it will certainly embrace the
allegations made by General Miles as to
character of the army supplies and will
involve that officer to the extent that he
must make these charges good, and TO
that degree will be on trial himself in a
manner. Should the charge be found
we'll established heavy responsibility
would be placed upon the packers and per-
sons concerned in the meat expectation
and others. Should they fall unsupported'
General Miles may be obliged to answer to
court martial for rejecting upon the
character of other officers. There are two
methods by which such an Investigation
may be conducted, according to establish.
ed military usage. The first is by appoint
ment Of court of inquiry, and the second
by the appointment of what is known as
officers or inspection board. In the form
er case it would be necessary to name some
OIllCCG WHO SIlOlllu Dt lllc SuLlSCt vi iIlNC-
tigation. In the latter the board is
charged simply to inquire into state ol
alleged facts, without reference TO any
particular person, and to place response
bility if possible for anything Of which
complaint is made. Their findings may
serve us the basis for acourt-martial quite
as enectually as the findings of q court of
inquiry, and has some advantage in that it
does not begin with the presumption ola
conrt Of inquiry.
Where a court of inquiry is ordered, it
is said, there is conveyed a distinct reflect
ion upon the officer named.
1t is not possible at present to learn
in which direction the President leans, but
he has been in conference on the subject
with the Secretary of War and the Attor-
ney General and the matter was discussed
in the Cabinet to-day to some extent.

PRESIDENT WILL ACT.
Should He Fail to Substantiate His
Charges He May Have TO Answer
for Reflections on Brother Officers
Characteristic the Meantime He
Retains Command.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 3.-The purpose Of
the President to terminate the unsatisfac-
tory state of affairs that has existed for
some time, as the result of the numerous
charges and counter-charges and inter-
views respecting the character of the army
beef, by instituting a formal inquiry into
these matters and endeavoring to place the
responsibility where it belongs, was made
known to-day. This inquiry will not be
undertaken before the-commission to in
vestigate the conduct of the war, which has
made its report to the president.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The treaty OF
peace negotiated between the commission
ers of the United States and Spain in Paris
was today ratified by the United States
Senate, the vote being 81 ayes and q
noes, or one more than two-thirds major
ity necessary to secure Senate concur
renee in treaty document. The vote
was taken in executive session, and until
the injunction of secrecy was removed, the
result was supposed to be private; but the
Vice President had no more than an
nounced the figures when Senators rushed
out of every door leading from the Senate
chamber declaring that the treaty had
been ratified. Some made the mistake OF
saying that there were three votes to spare.
There was in fact only one vote more than
was necessary.
No vote has been taken in the Senate
since that on the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law that has been
followed with as close interest as the vote
today. This anxiety was due not only to
the magnitude of the question at issue, but
to the uncertainty which attended the
matter up to the last moment.
Many of the vast throng which was
turned from the galleries after the doors
were closed in response to Senator Davis
request fingered in the corridors, all wait
ing eagerly for the news from inside.
Within the chamber the interest was
even more intense. Very few Senators
left the chamber, except those engaged in
the cloak rooms in trying on one side to
gain votes for the treaty, and on the other
to prevent a break in the ranks.

AMERICAN LOSS ABOUT 26O KILLED
And WOUNDED.
The Exact Casualties on the Part of
the FiIipinos Estimated at More
Than 5000 Killed, Wounded and
{ Captured.

The threatened outbreak of hostilities
a. Manila, between the Americans and
Filipinos came on Saturday night at S:45
o'clock. The natives had been prepar-
ing for hostilities for some time and were
encouraged to believe that they would be
successful in battle with the Americans.
This feeling had been produced by the
false advice of Aguinalio and encouraged
by Americans, who magnifed the import
ance of the insurgents and circulated re-
ports that the United States troops were
hali.hearted in the work they were en-
gagged in at Manila, and that many Of
them sympathized with Aguinaldo and
his followers.
The battle began on Saturday night at
S:45, when a terrible fulisade was poured
out from along the entire line of TIE in
surgents. The American outposts re-
turned the fire and all our troops were
hurried out. The firing then ceased for
about half an hour.

A Ridiculous Charge.

George Lucas was charged in the
District Court this morning with
malicious injury, it being alleged
that he cut the tail and name of
Ferreira's horse. The Marshal adj
mitted that he had very slim evil
dence against the young man, and
asked for continuance till to-mor-
row morning, if the case had to go on
he must enter a mol. pros. Mr..
Arthur Wilder, attorney for the de-
fendant, was agreeable to have the
case postponed, as desired by the
prosecution, and the Magistrate
acquiesced. The community, who
knows the boy and those who are
aware of the sinner" story, are in
dignant at the charge made and the
indignity put on a worthy young
man.

THE STAMP SALE.
Major Potter Explalos Thet he
Paid Full Face Value

Paid Full Face Value.
Since facts are much preferable to
malicious street gossip and rumors,
The INDEPENDENT this morning call
led upon Major Geo. G. Potter, Sec
rotary of the Foreign Office, for his
version of the sale OF Foreign Office
stamps to himself, and which sale
has raised the ire Of competing phil
atelists equally on the qui viue for a
bargain and monopoly.
Major Potter frankly gave the fol.
lowing straight forward explanation:
"About July or August last, at
any rate prior to annexation, | re-
ported to Minister Cooper that there
we're 60 sheets Of Foreign Office
stamps, intact Of the several demo.
limitations of 2 cents, 5 cents, 6 cents,
10 cent?, IL and 25 cents besides an
adequate quantity (as there still is)
for the use OF the Office, and request
ed him to sell them to me at their
face value of $500 if they were to
be sold, instead of placing them on
public sale. There were plenty at
that time to be procured at the Post
Office. The cost to the Government
of printing the whole series, of face
value OF $4,000, was but 1876. The
Minister consented and l bought
them at their full face value, cent
| for cent, and the Government has
the $500, and that is all there is to
it. AS an item of interest it may be
said that upwards of $4,000 worth Of
these Foreign Office stamps were
used to frank the soldiers letters
forwarded by the Government"
