The address to be delivered this
evening by the Hon. John F. Fin
nerty on ireland and America"
is looked forward to with interest.
Mr.. Finerty's. reputation as an ora
tor has preceded him and he will
meet an e&pectant and enthusiastic
audience on whom none of his
good points will be lost.
Tomorrow is ''the day we cele-
brate." To Americans it is the
grandest date in the calendar. On
the Fourth of July theirpatriotism
wells up and bubbles over. Old
and young join in celebrating this
anniversary of the nations birth.
But most enthusiastic Of all are
the boys. They are SO full of pat
riotism that they have to give
vent to it in noise. All day long
and late into the night they keep
up the racket everywhere. Timid
people are frightened, nervous
people have their very teeth set on
edge by the sounds that go up
from all sides, but Young America
cares naught for that. He cares
for nobody, not even himself-on
the Fourth of July, and as a con-
sequence of the license granted
him on that day and the reckless
ness which he employs, he often
goes to bed swathed in bandages
and redolent of arnica and lini-
ment. He suffers from burns and
bruises but feels that the fun he
had more than compensates for the
pain he endures as consequnce.
There are few people who want
the Fourth of July celebration
abandoned, but it is believed that
none of that class is at G Chautauqua
this year. Everybody here is in
favor Of having a big time to-mor-II
row. They are with the small boy
in enthusiasm. There cannot be,
too much noise to suit them. Let
the orator soar and the cannon
cracker roar. Turn the American
eagle loose! and let him scream!
He is the grandest bird on earth,
anyway.
The day is passing pleasantly on
the Chautauqua grounds. The
Indian band gave a concert in the
forenoon, and at IL Prof. Ly-
on's class in athletics met on the
base ball grounds and practiced
wand drill. This is very pretty
exhibition and constitutes health
full exercise.
At two o'clock p. m. there was
the usual grand band concert, and
at 3 the Wesleyan Male Quartette
led off in the concert in the audi
torium.
A fine musical Fourth of July
program has been arranged. Be-
ginning at l:30 o'clock preceding
Mr.. Finnerty's address, there will
be a three quarters of an hour con-
cert, and in the evening the en-
tertainment will be something
grand. All the talent will take
part in the evening concert and
have promised to do their best in
honor of the glorious day.
DR.. May, who has had the pleas
ure Of listening to the Hon. Jona-
than P. bolivar, of Iowa, who
will deliver an address in the aud
itorium Saturday evening, is one
of the finest speakers in the Unit
ed States. He was prominently
mentioned at the Republican con-
vention in Philadelphia in connec-
ton with the vice-presidential
nomination, and would probably
have been nominated on the ticket
with Mckinley had any other than
Rough Rider Roosevelt been Sc
lected. Dolliver will in all proba-
bility be the next U. S. senator
from Iowa.

Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1900-12-06

Mr.. Bryan found in the Chicago Con-
yention a multitude of inffammable enthu-
siasts, who knew that they had been duped
by Cleveland and who had been taught by
the latter and the Free Trade pundits gen.
orally that they had been and were being
shamefully feeced by the RICH Mr.. Bryan
poured oil on the fire, and it burned up
higher and is burning yet. He did not
start it and he cannot put it out.
Some of the Democrats seem to think
that with BRYAN and Tree silver out of the
way it will be a simple matter to make the
Democracy conservative once more. The
disease has gone too far for that. The
war declared against the Protected inter
ests has become war against wealth. The
radical spirit has grown more radical and
intractable. Hostility to the courts, fury
against corporations, general distrust OF
law and sympathy with disorder, socialist
ic tendencies, abandonment of what were
once the essential Democratic principles,
are characteristic of the present Demo-
cratic party. 1t is more violent now than
it was in 1896. Its policies and its pur'
poses are revolutionary. What miracle
can restore to even a shadow of its ancient
self party so transformed and deformed ?
What principle, save that of factious OPP
position to the Republican party, can
unite the Democracy? What tenet of the
old Democracy does the new Democracy
hold? We cannot think of a single one.

MIR. Bryan If still the most beloved and
the most powerful man in his party and it
is fair to him to say that had he followed
his own belief and instinct instead of the
advice of more polite persons, his defeat,
while emphatic enough, might have been
less severe. His part in counsel and action
may still be great in the fortunes of his
party, it is premature to forecast bis future
or to say cocksurely that he may not be
even for third time a candidate for Presi-
dent. But suppose that he voluntarily
and in good faith retired from politics, a
supposition most incredible. Then Bryan
would be out, but that strange entity call
ed Organism would not be killed or even
scotched. Bryan didn't create it.
He found the Democratic party crazed
with disappointment and disgust, and al
ready innoculated with what has since
been known as Organism. Mr.. Cleveland
with his Communism of pelf' and all the
other fanatical ranters against Protection
had had their effect. They had produced
in millions of minds the uneasy impression
that the rich were getting too much profit
and the poor too little; that the Govern
ment was carried on for the benefit of the
few.

papers will reveal choice collection of
epithets with which editors and the orators
spattered the Protected manufacturers.
The Money Devil was going about like a
raging lion and the Robber Barons were
held up for execration. There we're seas
of violent talk and passionate abuse. The
theory was propagated industriously that
the Money Power, mysterious bugaboo,
was crushing what Mr.. Bryan calls "the
producing classes" Juggernaut and Nam.

and MIR. Bryan was but an avatar of Mr.
Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland was put into power again
in 1892 and it was expected that the taber-
nacles of robbery would prosper no more.
The Robber Barons were to be driven out.
Instead, Mr.. Cleveland repaired their
castles for them. He did indeed toss
crumb of comfort in the shape of an In
come tax to the radicals, but bis backslid-
Ing on the main question made them furi-
Gus. Instead of offering bounty for the
heads of the wolves, he stubboyed them

"Has Mr.. Bryan the political fibre

nan-to warrant the belief that be will be
a candidate for President the third time ?"
This question was addressed to Colonel
Henry Watterson, of Louisville, at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. Mr.. Wat
terson expostulated good-naturedly against
being held up for an interview, but when
the newspaper Philistines refused quarter
he said
-Four years is generation in American
politics Two hours before James X. Polk
was nominated for tie Presidency he was
a weak candidate for vice.President. Two
hours before Franklin Pierce was nomi-
mated he was practically unknown to the
American people. Two years before
Abraham Lincoln was nominated he had
not had his debates with Douglas, and be
had not been heard of outside of Illinois.
Two years before Samuel ]. Tllden was
nominated he was a plain citizen right
over here in Gramercy Park. Two years
before Cleveland was nominated he was
Mayor of Buffalo. When Harrison was
nominated he was supposed to have died
politically two years before, on his retire
ment from the United States Senate. With
almost the single exception of General
Grant, the candidates for the Presidency
have been new men. That is why" said
Colonel Watterson, as he turned to go, II

never returned to redeem the pledge, and
from that day Lincoln did not again see
him.
Lincoln was naturally a man of quiet
taste in matters of dress, and seldom wore
jewelry of any kind. However, his ac-
cidental possession of a fine ornament
proved temporary temptation to adorn
himself. One day James Meyers, stock
dealer of Kentucky and close personal
friend of Mr.. Lincoln, who had known
him intimately from childhood, went to
Springfield on visit. AS soon as he saw
Lincoln the PIN attracted his attention.
swell, who'd thought that Abe Lin
coin would be strutting around the street
with diamond pin in his shirt frcnt ?"
exclaimed Meyers in mock surprise. Lin
coin looked vaguely abashed and tried to
explain. The explanation ended by his
taking the pin from his shirt and pinning
it on Meyers, insisting as he did go that he
did not want it and was only too anxious
to get rid of it. Meyers kept the orna-
ment for some time and finally gave it to
a friend, James Drummond. Drummond
was captured during the war by the Fed
erals and died at Fort Monroe. In 1866
a sale of his property and personal effects
took place at Barnwel, S. q. Among the
latter was the pin that had belonged to
Lincoln. Col. Cave bought it for a small
sum. He knew its history and prizes the
relic highly. Some years ago Col. Cave
was offered $1,000 for the pin, but refused
to part with it.

LINC0LN'S DIAMOND PIN.
Got 1t on a Loan and Gave 1t Away Be-
cause He Was Ashamed of 1t.
Atlanta Constitution.


Colonel w. N. Cave, of Barnwell S.
c., who is now in Atlanta on business, is
in possession of a unique relic in the shape
of diamond pin which was at one time
the property of Abraham Lincoln, and
which is the only piece of iewelry of the
kind that President Lincoln ever wore.
The pin is of the od-fashioned style of
cluster brooches, with clasp at the back
for the purpose of securing it to the frilled
shirt fronts worn by gentlemen fifty years
ago. The center diamond is large, par
tcularly white one, and 1t is surrounded
by a number of smaller briliants.
The pin has a strange history. Some
years before the war and prior to the time
that braham Lincoln was beginning to
loom up as a Presidential possibility,
while practicing law in Illinois, he met
young dandy from New York State, whose
sporting proclivities had caused him to
run short of funds. The young fellow
went to Lincoln for assistance, and left
with him as security for a loan a band
some diamond pin. For some reason he

Beacon Lamps of Great Power to Flash
Warnings to Vessels at Sea.

The Weather Bureau experiments with
signal lights for warning sailormen far out
to sea of impending storms have been
concluded, and American lamps fitted
with pressed glass lenses have been de-
cided on in preference to the French
makes, which cost five times as much. A
system of these beacon lamps soon will be
established along the Atlantic coast and
Great Lakes, in addition to signal service
now in operation in many ports.
The new method of signaling from lofty
signal towers will far surpass all that has
heretofore been done. AS each beacon
will be visible about IL miles in any direc-
ton, the lights from 100 of them, which is
the proposed number, would give con-
tinuons series of warnings visible for near.
ly $500 miles along the seacoast.

LIGHT ON CUSTER MASSACRE.
An Indian Says Lieutenant Harrington
Killed Himself.
Fort Yates Star.1

Fort Yates Star.
Again the awful particulars of the mas
sacre of Little Big Horn in 1876, which
cost the lives of General Custer and his de-
voted followers, have been told by one OF
the Indians who participated in the
slaughter.
This time light is shed upon the mystic
rious fate of Lieutenant Darlington, whose
body was the only one not found on the
battlefield. For years there was persist
ent rumor in existence that he was still
alive. The fact is that Lieutenant Har-
rington broke through the horde of red
skins and raced for his life. Being pur-
sued, he sent bullet through his head to
escape capture and torture.
Paints. Himself Brown, an Indian who
fought under Sitting Bull, says that near
the close of the fight "a young officer, well
mounted, broke through our line to the
open prairie pursued by seven Indians.
His mount was fresher than ours and six
of us turned back. One Indian better
mounted continued the chase. Lieutenant
Harrington's horse finally began to falter
and the Indian gained. Then the horse
of the fleeing officer fell. Lieutenant Har-
rington raised his pistol and sent bullet
through his brains. His body lay IN the
bed of dry lake, several miles from the
scene of the massacre, which accounts for
the fact that it was not discovered by Gen.
era Terry"
Joseph Berard, brother of Mrs. Har-
rngton, widow of Lieutenant Harrington,
with whom she has been staying for sever
al months, said that Mrs. Harrington has
hitherto believed that her husband had
been captured by the Indians and burned
at the stake in some place during the
fight of the Indians from the scene OF the
massacre. Several times she had told her
husband that in the event of his falling
into the hands of the Indians she would
prefer to have him commit suicide rather
than submit to torture.
Mrs. Harrington brooded over her bus.
bands death continually, and while visit
ing her sister, Mrs. Minnie Matthews, in
Fort Worth, Texas, in 1885, she was
afflicted with loss of memory and disap-
peared She was found in little town in
Arkansas in February, 1888, after wander.
ing about the country aimlessly for nearly
three years. Tie government has been
paying her pension of SIS month, but
a bill is before Congress to give her a
larger allowance.

A THREATENED REVOLUTION IN PUB.
tic EDUCATION IN VIRGINIA.
Norfolk Landmark

Norfolk Landmark.
The announcement that the school au-
thorities of New Orleans have recently de-
termined to greatly abridge the opportu'
mites of the negroes for obtaining ad-
vanced education at public expense, at
tracts attention here. The information
received daily at the Office of the Virginia
Board of Education is that this question
has become a live one here. Reports from
all sections of the black belt are to the
effect that the white people there are in
sisting that the coming Constitutional
Convention shall allow the colored people
free schools only to the amount they con
tribute in taxes. The effect of this plan,
if it were carried out, would be to practlc-
ally debar the colored people of education.
Last year the State expended on its pub
lie schools 81 ,971 ,264.49. OF this amount
over $3.50, 600 went to the education of the
negroes. In the last thirty years, that is
since the organization of the present sys-
tenn of public education, Virginia has ex-
pended $40, 900, 600. of which SIS, 100000
was given to colored schools. The negroes
contribute about per cent. in taxes, in
Guiding all sources and for all purposes. 1t
will be seen that if any plan be adopted
which will give that lace for schools only
the amount they pay in taxes the effect
will be to deprive them of all education.
There is, however, a growing demand in
all parts of the negro country that this
idea shall be carried out. The storm is
rising, and, like the great Readjuster revO'
luton 1873, 1t may sweep everything
before it. Who will throw themselves IN
in the breach and attempt to stem this
current 1t seems hardly likely that any
politician who cares for his popularity will
make the attempt.
Hon. John Z. Massey, until recently
the head of the State Department of Edu-
cation, and who played such an important
part in the Readjuster movement, favors
the idea of giving the negroes only the
amount they contribute. So far he is the
only prominent man who has taken this
position publicly. There are, however,
plenty of others ready to follow Massey's
example as soon as the people are heard
from.
"There is no man in the State" said
one of the officials of the school system to-
dav, "that | know Of who is ready to stand
forth in an effort to resist this demand of
the people," This gentleman insisted
that with one firm, influential man who
would boldly attempt to turn this storm,
it could be prevented from bursting with
any force. There is not though, it was
admitted, such a man likely to come to
the front.
