farewell Full Grown.

One of our citizens remarked to
us recently, that our town is about
grown unless there shall be soon
the establishment of some industry
that will bring revenues from the
out side. Already we have as
much machinery, or more, than we
can carry We are paying for
electrict lights, ice plant, fine
stores &c. without increasing our
ability to do so. New buildings,
and the instalment of new plants
for the manufacture of Injuries
and necessities are we'll, and bene.
fits the mechanic who constructs
them, but the expenses of these
things are borne entirely by our
own money without, in any way,
increasing our source of revenue.
After the electrict light and ice
plants and car line and water works
are all built the citizens are in no
better shape than before, so far as
making a living is concerned,
while it is necessary TO patronize
all these things, which indirectly.
at least, increases the cost of liv.
ing. When a farmer moves from
his farm into town, the town is
benefited only to the extent that
the new conner consumes what our
merchants have to sell, unless he
starts some new enterprise. The
gentleman went on to say that our
town is now about at the top unless
some factory or industry of some
kind can be established that will
not only give our population en-
ployment, but induce the settle.
ment among us of others who will
assist in growth and development.
And he is right. What we need is
payroll. This need has been rec
ognized a long time, but no steps
are taken to supply it. We have the
men and means, and unless we
take the matter in hands we must
content ourselves with living in a
full grown town, and continue to
get all we can out of each other.

United.

AS the time arrives for the gath.
ering of the two great political
parties, for the impending battle
this year, 1T becomes more and
more evident that the democratic
: party pa will marshall an unbroken
force in the field. The republicans,
who may be looking and hoping
for disaffection in the ranks. will
be disappointed. There will be
no "side shows" this year, such as
deceived the voters in 1896. and
thereby contributed materially to
the election of Mr.. Mckinley. The
republican forces, 200, will be uni
ted. We have little faith In float.
ing rumOrs that large numbers of
republicans will bolt the party this
year. The fight, therefore, promi-
ses to be one Of the hardest in our
history.
The campaign of 1896 was, so
far as the candidates were concern
ed, clean and dIgnified-no word
of suspicion or him could be utter.
ed against the moral character of
either of the candidates. There
was only one shadow, and that of an
important factor, embodied in one
man, who controlled the corruption
frauds, and manipulated the wires
OF intimidation. If this factor can
be elimated this year we will have
an ideal, real American political
battle.

An Adventure.
North Tazewell. Va.

Three nice young men and three nice
girls,
All lovers true as steel
Decided in friendly way,
To spend the day a-wheel
They started in the early morn,
And nothing seemed amiss;
And when they reached the leafy lanes
They in like
rode twos this.
They wandered by the verdant dale,
Beside the ripping rill;
The sun shone brightly all the while;
They heard the song bird g thrill.
They sped through many q woodland
glade
The world was full of bliss
And when they rested in the shade,
Theysat intwos likethis.
The sun went down and evening came,
A lot too soon, they said;
Tea long they tsrried on the way,
The clouds grew black o'erhead;
Down dashed tie rain; They homeward

Beside tho River.

We spent some happy hours to-day
Beside the river, in the dell;
The springtime smiled OR all the land
Twas spriuRtime in our hearts as we'll
The sunbeams DER the ripples dance',
White clpudlets sailed across the sky;
And o er the grassy meads we heard,
As in dream, the doves lone cry.
Awhile we talked of other days,
or days in memory cherished still;
Then unused awhile, and paused to list
The thFushes calling from the hill.
We culled the sweet blue Violets,
Low bending Fer the waters edge,
And watched the bright-eyed rabbits
play
Amidst the. wavering, golden sedge.
The joyous hours sped quickly ON,
Too soon the twilight shadows fell
And now the stars keep watch and ward
Above the river in the dell.
Though neveImore at noon or eve
That rivers marge our steps may
know,
This fair, sweet day well live again,
In dreams whene'tr spring breezes
blow.

Care of the Colt.

The colt wants feeding just as
much as the lamb, the pig or the
calf; never let them go back.
Many farmers think that it makes
a colt hardy to starve, but / do
not think they enjoy it, and | do
not like to do it. The colt should
be taught to eat grain when it is
running with its dam. Never al
low the colt to run with it's mother
on the road or when she is at
work. Let the mare come up once
In the forenoon and once i'm the
afternoon, until it is q month or
SIX weeks old, let it have the run of
pasture where the colt and its
mother can run when she is not at
work. When you wean it, after
I'VE or SIX months old, take the
mare away where she cannot hear
the colt. There is another very
important point; theirs is nothing
that will ruin colt so fast AS to
give it exceedingly high feed and
no exercise. You will develOpe
the weight faster than the bone
and muscle. AS to the kind of
feed. anything that will apply to
growing stock on your farm will
apply equally as well to colts, in
the shape of nutricious protein
feed.-Ex.

The Democratic Caucus.

The caucns of House Democrats
at Washington decided not to sup.
port the Republican maiority's
constitutional amendment giving
the Federal government control
over trusts, but to vote for the
Ray bill, winch forbids trust ade
articles to be subjects of interstate
commerce, provided nothing bet
ter could be obtained.
1t is never wrong to oppose a
measure intended to deceive. This
proposed amendment IS for cam
paign purposes only. 1t is known
perfectly Well to Its authors and
supporters that it cannot become q
part of the fundamental law. The
remedy which the Republicans
suggest in their constitutional
amendment is no remedy at all,
improbable. The principal thing
that the Republican party can do
to mitigate the trust evil Is TO put
an an end to the corrupt and cor
rupting partnership which exists
between the United States Gov
eminent and the trusts by reason
of The Republican protective tariff.
But the Republicans evidently
prefer to try to catch the moon
with their teeth than TO take what
lies at hand. In other words the
party exists for the protection of
the trusts.
The caucus also wisely and
periodically decided to demand a
repeal of 80 per cent. of the war
taxes. Here again the Republi.
cans have resorted to a policy of
evasion, in this instance because
apparently it expects after the
Presidential campaign to be able
to invent and pass so many subsidy
schemes that there will be no
surplus, no matter what may be
the amount Of the taxes taken
from the people.-New York

Daniel for Nce-President.

Within the last few days the
name Of Senator John w. Daniel
bas been prominently mentioned
in connection with the Vice Presi
dency. He might have had the
nomination ia 1896 ii he had been
willing to accept it. We do mt
know his sentiments on the the
subject aud cannot say he would
accept u nomination if rendered
him by the Kansas City con vention
but he would make a stroag run
ming mate for Bryan on the Dem
Ocratic ticket. The nomination OF
Daniel would be very acceptable
to Virginia and the South, and
we believe, to the Democrats i'm
every section of the Unioo, for he
has earned a national reputation,
not only by his eloquence, but by
his personal integrity, the sound
ness OF his Democracy anI his
ability as a statesman. With
Daniel on the ticket Virgins would
roll mp one Of her old time major
tiles for the Democracy, in spite of
all possible com binations against
the ticket,
The old proverb, "A prophet is
not without honor save in his ON
country aud among his own KIN.
dred," does not apply to John w.
Daniel. Nowhere else in this broad
republic does he stand higher IN
the esteem and admiration of his
fellow citizens than in his own
State aud among his own people.

Congress and the Trusts.

The proposed constitutional amend
ment TO give Congress com, lete CON
plete control of trusts is something
more than a mere effort To delay &C
ton, Ii is an insult to the intell-
gence OF the American people. The
man who does not know that trusts
collectively dominate Congress has
little acquaintance with political con
ditions. In fact, n single trust has
more than once held up the Con
gress of the United States and re-
fused to permit it to pass bill to
raise revenue or to reduce the reve-
nue. until it's demands were complied
with. The difficulty of
dealing with trusts by Legislation il
great enough at best. Undoubtedly
Congress could break up many of
them by opening up competition
from abroad. Over and over it has
been asked to do this, by amend
ments offered to tariff bills, aud over
and over it has ,tlttc ltGt I
is melancholy confession to make.
but it is true that since the trust
evil began the Democratic party has
never had III Congress members
enough free frOIp the domination of
trusts to pass b Il to suppress those
which cOngressiOt al legislation could
reach. This does not signify thhs:s
the two parties occupy the same at
htude toward trusts. On the con-
trary, an overwhelming majority of
the Democratic leaders are consci-
entiously opposed to trusts, while an
equally large majority of Republican
public men are their friends and
very often in their pay. Many of
them, indeed, take the money of the
trusts. and, at the same time, de-
nounce them on the stump, but the
trust do not object to that, because
it is intended merely to mislead the
people. They know we'll enough
that they cannot count on the aid of
these hireliugs when their interests
are really menaced. Hence we ha
the spectacle of the great majority
of Congressman denouncing trusts
and getting up perfectly harmless
legislation against them but, at the
same time, a sufficient number are
always found to do their bidding
whenever an emergency arises.
y If there were no trusts there
would soon be no Republican party.
They supply the funds by the aid of
which Republican campaigns are
fought and won. While it is true
that they some times contribute to
the campaign funds of Democrats,
it is only in localities where the
Redubhcan majority have no chance.
In close and vigorous fight for the
mastery the money of the trusts IS
always TIL own into the balance to
secure republican victory. The OK
does not know his owner nor the ass
his masters CRIB any mole surely
than the Republicans recognize the
trusts as their only hope in times of
difficulty and danger Jour

Delegates to the Convention.

1t cannot be too strongly urged
that the delegates, who shall COM
pose the con, ention TO revise the
constitution of the State should be
the very best aud wisest of our
citizenship. They must too, of
necessity, be lawyers, as the whole
business will involve questions of
law, both State aud National.
Without wishing TO forestal any
thing or anybody, we venture 10
suggest that either of the following
gentlemen would meet all the re
quirements, viz: Maj. R.R. Henry,
Judge 5. &. Graham, A. Il. GilleS>
pie, ID. ii. Smith, j W. Chapman
and no doubt others just as suita-
BILE, can be found among us. Eth
er of these gentlemen would be
safe to trust with the discharge of
this important work. No greater
evil could befall us than TO com
nit this work into the hands of
political tricksters or incompetent
men.
