EDITOR TAzEwELL REPUBLICAN,:

1
In recent letter published in the
Clinch Valley News, complaint is made
that certain county officers have been per-
mitted to remain in Office too long. The
idea of the letter is that offices are created
for the purpose of furnishing to certain
individuals soft places at good salaries,
without service, and that these places
should be passed around for the satisfac-
ton of those who stand in waiting. We
presume that the writer of the letter is one
of these individuals and that he is
chagrined that he has not been called upon
to share in the good things mentioned in
his letter.
We think that Offices are places OF pub
lie trust and that the officers are public
servants, and for these services are al
lowed only a reasonable compensation as
fixed by law. The people are interested
to see that these public servants are honest
and capable Of rendering competent and
efficient service, and there can be but lit
tie reason why they should dismiss Off
GERS who, for twenty years, have shown
themselves honest, competent and etii-
cient, in order to make room for persons
who have been untried in the public ser.
vice. The writer for the News might
have said that the present candidate for
the sheriffalty has been in office for thirty
instead of twenty years, and he could
have said that for these thirty years MIR.
Bandy has shown himself to be most
competent, accommodating and efficient
public servant. Few men have enjoyed
the public confidence to the extent OF
James Bandy, and remarkable feature OF
his career has been that his many years OF
public service has only increased his popu'
larity.
The writer in the News is absurdly er-
roneous as to the salaries received by the
county officers. AS above stated, they re-
ceive only reasonable compensation for
their services. Experience shows that
they have not become rich men. Men of
no more ability than they, have, in pri'
vate life, accumulated much more than
they. We do not know of any power to
make voter in Tazewell county vote other
wise than he wishes, but the integrity, etli-
cheney and many acts Of kindness shown
by the present incumbents Of the county
offices, are sufficient to secure their re-
election by large majority Of the votes OF
Tazewell county.

GOMEZ HAS A PROJECT.
Wants Cuban Army of $4,000 Main
tained.

Havana, May 9.-General Maxine
Gomez is trying to persuade Governor
General Brooke that Cuban standing
army of 1900 men is necessary adjunct
to the proper government Of the island.
His views he has presented in writing, but
without eliciting as yet any reply. The
proposition is not likely to receive much
consideration at headquarters, where con-
siderable surprise was occasioned by this
magnificent project, which, if adopted,
Gomez doubtless believes would be placed
under his personal control.
The growing conviction that there is no
need of rural guards except in the wilder
provinces of Santiago and Puerto Prln-
cine, is confirmed by the investigations OF
Captain Hickey, of the governor generals
staff, who returned yesterday from two
thousand mile trip through the provinces
east of Havana, which has occupied two
months. Captain Hickey, in carefully
written reports to General Brooke, asserts
that with the exception of a few in San
tiago province, he found no traces Of ban
dts. "Politcal feeling in the country
districts" F." he declares, lis far less intense
than In Havana, where the malcontents
are gathered. Most Of the Cubans of the
provinces favor ultimate independence,
but they are willing to have the American
military occupation continue for year at
least, as they recognize that the island
revenues are expended honestly upon
betterments." :"

Gen. Davis at San Iuan.

San Juan de Porto Rico, May S.
Brigadier General George W. Davis, who
has been appointed to succeed Major
General Guy V. Henry as military COVER
nor of Porto Rico, arrived here today.
He was welcomed by the consular and
officers of Porto Rico and San Juan.
This afternoon General Henry and Gen.
era. Davis were given reception at the
theatre by the school children OF San
Juan.
There is much curiosity as to the policy
that will be adopted by General Davis.
Porto Ricans generally display much re-
gret at the departure of General Henry.
Matters here are in excellent condition
for the new military governor, harmony
prevailing generally.
Major General Henry will sail for the
United States tomorrow.

What About a WooIen Mill ?

Radford is to have two woolen mills
Why can't Tazewell start one? 1t has
been demonstrated that the best place tc
manufacture raw material into finished
products is where the raw material is pro-
duced The sheep industry is constantly
growing in Tazewell and adjoining coun'
ties, and the production of wool will CORE
spondlngly increase. Tazewell needs
factories, not stores. Why can't we have
a woolen mil? The business men OF the
town ought to see if such an industry can
not be started.

WATSON WILL SUCCEED HIN.
Will 90 at Once and viii Take Com
mand of the Squadron as Soon as
Dewey Thinks 1t Wise to SurTeH-
der the Post. Admiral to Come
Home in His Flagship by Way OF
Suez Canal.

Washington, May S.-The Navy De
partment has selected successor to Al
miral Dewey to command the Asiallc
station. Orders were issued today de-
tachinc Rear Admiral Watson from COM
mand of the Mare Island navy yard and
ordering him to report to Admiral Dewey
at Manila, to relieve that officer when ne
feels that he can be spared there. Rear
Admiral Kempif, at present on waiting
orders. has been ordered to succeed Ad'
miral Watson in command Of the Mare
Island yard.
It was stated at the department today
that Admiral Dewey will come from Ma
Mia direct to New York when ne returns
to the United States. However, 1t was
added, the admiral will not start until the
commission of which he is a member has
completed the work it has undertaken, at
least so far as it relates to the restoration
of peace on the islands.
The reason for bringing the hagshlp
OLYMPIA to New York instead OF having
her come to San Francisco, where she was
built. is said to be primarily because Ad-
miral Dewey desires to make the passage
on hisSown flagship, but also for the rea-
SON that the Mare Island yard threatens
70 be overwhelmed with repair work as
soon as the numerous vessels Of Dewey e
fleet begin to return to the United States
The Olympia is IN need Of a thorough
overhauling, having been away from her
home station longer than any OF the ves-
sells in the Asiatic fleet and having rem
dered more than the usual amount Of
hard service during her absence.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Andrew Carnegie, the great iron and
steel king, has sold all his interests in the
iron and steel business to steel trust, and
is to ireceive therefor $l50,00O,0 900
dollars in FIVE per cent. bonds. Mr.. Car.
nege's success in life shows the lack of
truth in the assertion of socialists that
there is any preferred class in this coun.
try. He began life as poor Scotch boy,
and by his energy and shrewdness has &C
cumulated this immense fortune. Mr..
Carnegie's life also demonstrates the fall
sity of another charge of the socialists,
that the wealthy are selfish. He seems to
look upon his fortune as a trust to be
used for the benefit of his fellowmen, and
he has given away many millions for cdu-
cational and other benefcent purposes.
The spirit of benevoence is constantly
growing, and with the rich as we'll as the
wellto.do
We heard Democratic friend remark
recently that the Virginia Democracy had
but two planks in their platform, "Thomas
Jefferson and the Walton law" What
would Jefferson think of the association?
Senator Daniel in a recent interview said
the Virginia Democrats ought "to be con.
tented with the situation as it stands" as.
signing as a reason therefor that they have
all the elective officers in Virginia, from
United States Senator down to the magis.
trates. This is an admission, by the lead
ing Democrat of the State, that place and
power is the chief aim OF. Virginia Democ-
racy. While boastlng Of what his party
holds in Virginia, will Senator Daniel stop
to consider how it got it?
The Lynchburg "News" under the
editorial head Republican RESPONSE
bilt" saya: at is perhaps fortunate for
the country that there will not be divided
responsibility in the next Congress. The
pepuDuCdus VIII nave d sdlc hOTklIlH uld-
jority in both Houses. The Executive is
also Republican, and, therefore, the Re-
publican party will be responsible to the
country for the conduct of the govern.
ment in both the legislative and execu-
tive departments for the next two years."
This is very potent truth, uttered in con-
servative language. There is not the
slightest doubt but that the Republican
party will measure up to the response.
bility, and that the country will acknowl.
edge that it is fortunate in having the
party in control again.
Senator Daniel says the Virginia Demo.
Gratis ought to be contented as they have
all the Offices in the State. Is Senator
Daniel contented with the way in which
his party has gotten control of all the
offices, by the use of the unfair and dis
graceful Walton law?

A Few Pertinent Points in
Connection With This
Display and Sale,

There is price point below which quality can
not exist. With all the Economy of close buy
ing close figuring and modern methods of manu-
facture, there are certain items of cost which Can
not be eliminated.
Lookout for trash.
The Children's sale here at special prices is
worthy of more than the usual amount of atten-
ton.
Firm, evenly woven percales, piques, lawns,
calicoes and nansooks of good weight but not OF
the weight that comes Of loading the fabric with
starch; sewing that shows attention by skilled
work people; good lengths; correct widths; gener-
Gus hens and new trimming.
We do not say 25 cents worth so cents-only
% cents. The items marked 81 are more than
twice as good as those marked 80 cents, even
though there may be shade more proftin some
of the last.
These little dresses come in all the popular
shades Of lawns, percales, gnghams, and calicoes,
trimmed with laces and braids. The white ones
of figured piques plain nansooks and India
linens, are trimmed with ruf1es finished with
lace; also ribbon and novelty braids. The verdict
of the ladies who have seen them is: "They are
beautifully made" The sizes are from l to II
years, prices from 40 cents to $3.50 each: and
not garment in the whole lot that is not good
value.
But you are the judges.
