President McKinley's inaugural ad
dress is an ornate grafton rather than
practical State paper. The latter
is rarely expected at an Inauguration,
and it would be unreasonable to look
for it when the Chief Magistrate has
been reelected and takes the oath
for second term. His policy, which
includes the policy of the party which
elected him. is too well known to re-
quire repetition in detail. AS an ora
ton the Presidents inaugural is adj
mirable. 1t is polished, forcible and
skillful in expression. His contrast
of the conditions OH March 4, 1897,
when he became President, with
those of to-day is particularly strik-
ing. In the light of such a summing
up, every word of which is true, it is
not difficult to understand why the
people again entrusted him with
power.
With regard to that part of the adj
ministration's policy which has pro-
voked the bitterest opposition-th
management of the Philippines-the
President is very happy. After de-
claring that the American people are
following in the footsteps of their
predecessors nearly a century ago, he
says: "They triumphed. Will their
successors falter and plead organic
impotency in the nation?" This is
the Philippine question in a nutshell.
The United States is either a nation
or it is not. If it is, it has all the
powers which belong to a nation,
among them the right to acquire ter
ritory and govern it for the best in
terests of the country and the inhab-
itants of the new territory. The
President reiterates his purpose to
extend the blessings of liberty and
self-government to the Filipinos as
rapidly as the latter can be fitted for
them.
That portion of his address which
will cause the greatest anxiety in his
allusion to the Chinese policy of the
United States. 1t is rather vague.
While, as he says, the part borne by
the United States in China has been
creditable, there is a feeling OF uneas-
mess about the future which is more
likely to increase than to diminish.
Dispatches from Pekin inform us that
1.-The foreign ministers have demand
ed the death of twelve additional high
officials and the punishment of ninety
provincial mandarins.n While it is
is generally understood that this
bloody business is abhorrent to the
administration, there is no way of
showing this so clearly as withdraw
ing entirely from the European con-
cert, and leaving the powers to work
out their selfish purposes without the
apparent countenance of America.
The public is just beginning to take
in the enorInity of the Chinese scan

Exposition. The fourth page is de-
voted to the wonderful displays of

Machinery and Transportation Build
ing and four other illustrations of
modern machines and vehicles. The
centre of the booklet shows birdseye
view of the Exposition, and gives one
some idea of the great extent of the
enterprise upon which about $4,000
900 is being expended. The grounds
contain $50 acres. being half a mile
wide and mile and a quarter long.
Other pages show horticulture, graph
&c arts and mines, manufactures and

Plaza and its beautiful surroundings,
the Stadium or athletic field, the ag-
ricultural, live stock and ethnology
| features, and few of the 80 or 40 in

promise to make the Midway the
most wonderful that has ever been
prepared for Exposition visitors. The
last page shows ground plan of the
Exposition, wherein the location of
different buildings is indicated. The
railroads will make low rates from all
parts of the country during the Ex-
position, which opens May and con-
tinues six months, and the people of
Buffalo are preparing to entertain
comfortably the millions who will at

On February 2Sth the dwelling

north of Swanton, this county, was
totally DESTROYED by fire. The fire

You will notice that Mcdowell
county is the entire basin of the ex-
IRENE headwaters of Tug Fork Of San
div, which. lower down becomes the
line hetweenWest Virginia, and Nir-
gina, ana little further on between
our state and Kentucky, and owing
TO the contour of our mountains, was
once very remote when approached
from the east, and it was originally
settled by the reflex action of hunters
that rolled.nto Kentucky with or after
Daniel Boone, and living, as they
have since, wholly issolated and for
generations separated and apart from
the outside world. they retain all the
chacistics OF their hunting and fight
ing ancestry
No wagons would IN early days
cross the narrow mountins that walled
them in aud neither wagons nor fiat
boats could come up through the mar
row rough of lug, and thus their
commerce with the outside world was
entirely with pack animals, and their
travelling was done in the saddle.
The men were hunters, not farmers.
The deep, dark valleys were the
deal environment for the perfect
growth or poplar, and probably no
place in the world ever produced
more or better but their similar re-
gions were being denuded, this was
SO walled by mountains SO obstruct-
ed by roughs and narrows, and SO
curtailed in production of grain and
supplies, as to make numbering out
of the question.
These were the conditions up to,
say, ten years ago-every hill full of
the best coal that the world knows
every valley forest of choice timber
with scattered population of hun
tiers
ADVENT OF THE RAILROAD.
About the time of the Revolution
thus region was thrown into holdings
of large surveys in the ownership of
nonresidents. These were beaten into
by the small claims OF the noun
taineers, held under generations OF
active possession. These larger claims
upon the discovery of the great value
of this coal field some twenty wears
ago. fell into the hands of Philadel-
phia. Dutch and English CAPITALISTS
and investors. who then began devel-
opment upon the Virginia side OF the
mountains, bringing the Norfolk q
Western railroad with them. and
much less than ten years ago tunneled
through and continued the road and
mining DEVELOPMENT on to Elkhorn
and on down main Tug and
through the region so recently devas
tated
