Dewey; The Candidate Without a
Platform. Well, it don't make much
difference. We have heard of Presi-
Dental candidates making big show
of platform and then utterly fail to
stand on it after election. What
difference does it make, any way!
Mr.. Dewey's attitude is as consistent
as some Presidents we've known,
viz; let the platform be made and
the policy dictated after election. 1t
might be better and easier, however,
ia lay down few planks to walk in
on.

The Electric LIqhtS

There are, at least few of our
people who appreciate our
splendid electric lights. The street
and domestic service is all that
could be asked and better than
many expected. In fact it is con-
coded that our lights are superior to
those of the same candle power to be
found in any of the towns in this
section using electric lights No
addition to the town since its incor-
poration has proved so satisfactory,
or contributed more comfort and
convenience of the people than these
lights. And it is specially to be noted !,
aud Is also a profound qualification,
that this almost inestimable boon is
the result of the enterprise aud
wisdom OF young men of our town,
and not some foreign corporation.
1t is gratifying that so many of our
citizens have taken the lights and
thus, while contributing to their own
comfort, are encouraging aud help
ing on to success a splendid enter
prise. The wonder, aud regret too,
is that many of our people who are
amply able to use these lights have
not put them in their houses.
MIR. HOge, the Electrician, says
that he now has, il the town, all
told $50 lights. The capacity of the
plant is, we believe, about 1000 lights.
We hope the Company will soon be
their maximum number of
lights. We understand that North
razewell is negotiating with the
Company for lights 1t has been
often wondered why the progressive
citizens of North Tazewell have not
put in Electric lights long ago.
The people there, gererally, known
a good thing when they see it, and
we expect soon TO see that pleasant
little city ablaze with the light of
modern civilization.

Not a Party Question

We have, more than once, and
unequlvOcslly stated that we are
In favor of a Constitutional Con-
ventiOn. We believe the revision
OF our constitution an Imperative
need, but we do not believe it
should DE made a party question,
and in this we believe we reflect
the opinion of a majority of the
wisest and most loyal Democrats of
this section. Our reasons, briefly
stated are these:
The question is one which
touches closely and vitality, the en-
tire citizenship of the State, and is
one, therefore, in which every citi-
zen is concerned, and should be
interested. If we understand what
is meant by "Party Question:" we
believe that one religious party
would have as good a right, moral.
ly speaking, to draft a set of
rules, or creed, and force it upon
their weaker brethren, or that the
farmers in grazing country
would have as good excuse for
framing laws favorable to their
section and compelling their breth-
rem who do not raise stock OF grass,
to accept the same, as one party
has, to make a constitution and
set Of laws, which affect every de.
partment of the home and national
life of every citizen of Common
wealth, and compel them to accept
them and live by them. Such a
course In our humble judgement,
would be wrong and that continual
ally. If The People want a new
Constitution let them say so. If
The People do not want it, after
diligent and honest teaching, let
them say so. Let the people have
voice in their own government
under which, they must live. Again
as Democrat and desiring the
success of the party, as we'll as of
the measure, we believe that it
will be Impolitic and unwise 60
make this a party question. To
do so is to invite defeat. We will
array against us all, or nearly all,
the office holders and their friends,
all the cOlored people, of course.
and in addition thousands of white
voters, who have been told, and
will be made to believe that the
object Of the Convention is to de-
prive them of their vote, and Othei
rights which they have under the
present laws. Next Fall the effec
OF this partisan procedure will b.
felt. The measure, in our Judge.
ment, will be defeated, and the
prospect good to lose the State
IN the Presidential Election. 1t il
understood that our United State,
congressman and representative
see this danger, and are all op.
posed to making it party issue
Our Convention meets here on
next Tuesday TO elect delegates t.
Norfolk, and unless we mistake
all the signs of the times ringing
resolutions will be passed in favur
OF submitting the question to the
entire people of the State. We
hope so.

The Die rs Cast

After a prolonged wrangle and
exhaustive debate, the Senate has
ended the controversy over the
Puerto Rico tariff bill, which had
previously passed the house. and
for which Speaker Henderson SAYS
the President worked with nigh:

measure marks turning point in
the history of the United States
and a new develOpement i'm our
national policy. From the first
the principle Is accepted that Con.
gressmen has the power TO make

territory which is not applicable
to other parts of the Uuion. 1t is
the beginning of an imperial sys-

1t is an assumption that Congress
is supreme and above the written

the inhabitants thereof, yet it is

old ladies tea party has forestalled us
all as to Jokes as to his candidacy.
The absence of any announced

old policy will do to "gst in" on and
that afterwards events must be con

The Confederate Pension Board

The law, passed by the last Leg
islature, creating the new Confed-
crate Pension Board, makes con
siderable changes in the old law.
The new act provides for board of
five in each county, to be appointed
by the Circuit Judge, three of whom
shall be Confederate Soldiers.
Applications for pensions shall be
made to this board hereafter instead
of TO the County Judge, as hereto
fore. Under the new law, widows of
deceased soldiers although the hus-
baad was not killed IN the war but
has died since, aud soldiers who have
become disabled through disease or
otherwise, may obtain relief from
this board, provided such appli cant
has no means of support. The sum
OF Sl35,OOO was appropriated by the
bill for pensions. The board is to
meet on the first Monday in April of
each year for the purpose Of passing
