An Honest Confession.

Col. j s Browning in a speech
before the Republican Convention
here on last Court day made this
significant statement: "The Mining
and Manufacturing interests are
going to cOntIol this County,"
Whether the gentleman "made a
break" and said more than he in
tended to say or not we do
not know. The Democrats have
known and charged that the
legislation of the Republican
party is, and has been for years,
slmost entirely in the interests OF
large corporations, encouraging
and fostering gigantic trusts and
combinations of capital in 1.-The
hands of a few, but the Republicans
have heretofore denied the charge.
This is the first time, we believe
that the truth of the charge of the
Democrats has been acknowledged,
certainly by Tazewell Republican.
Mr.. Browning, himself a mine
owner, gave expression in this, no
doubt unguarded speech, to an opin,
ion which amounts to a positive
determination, held by all the men
in his class. Being in close touch
with the mining interests of the
country, he no doubt, reflects the
sentiments of them all.
What is to be the nature of this
"controlf' What is to become OF
the other'inteTests''of this country.
Are the farmers-the masses-th,
mechanics and all, to be ground
under the iron heel OF "the mining
and manufacturing interests of thi
countryW Is selfishness and greco
Of gain the principal plank il
the platform of these graspinl
trCstsf Certainly the trend of tn
Republican administration ha
been in this direction for years
and is still going that way wit
accelerating momentum, and wi
continue its wild, mad rush so Ion
as men of Mr.. Browning's politica
and COMMERCIAL ideas hold tn
reins.
In the next campaign in Tazewel
when this gentleman takes tn,
stump and loudly aud eloquent
proclaims the "Republican part
the party of the people, the poe
mans friend &c." we doubt nc
that some one of Tetentive memory
will remind him that once upon
time he said publicly, "the mimi

THE sPENoTHRIFT.

Lustrous and siiken haired he swept
The blackthorn silver loose and lept
Into the leasess lane;
His pleasant minstrelsy began;
Torrents OF music riot ran
Across the haze grit plain;
he flung the fields new liveries
And green slashed doublets to the trees,
Then. STOPPING, from a lily bowl
Drank Of the sweetness Of her soul
And madly sprang away.
In marshes and moist meadows he
eundered the stately neuys-de-lis;
Kingcups in gilt array
He tossed amid the tasseled reeds
Quiv'ring and bent with crystal beads
And ever In his thoughtiess flight
About him danced in yestures bright
His minion butterflies.
His plumber was the rose hid dew,
Rose leaves the largesse that be threw
At random to the skies,
Nor ceased he TIL he havoc made
Amid the jasminc's starry braid.
90 was his rich inheritance
Ruined and lost. With swift advance
And stern IN russell gown
Came autumn. Of the spendthrift youth
BY bitter bonds devoid Of ruth,
Demanding summers crown.
Here from the corralled ycws alone
The robins mourn his brol-n t.rone.

ROUSSEAU WAS MODEST
He Refused to Expose an Impostor
Posing in His Shoes.

IOSlnS In His Shoes.
Jean Jacques Rousseau was not
troubled greatly by conscientious scru-
pies, yet he possessed the rare virtue
of broad, human sympathy in an
eminent degree. Perhaps it was the
consciousness of his own weaknesses
that made him so sympathetic toward
others. An anecdote is related of him
which places this virtue of his in
strong light. On one occasion he had
composed an opera, which was per-
formed before the king, Louis XIV,
and met with the royal approval. The
king sent for him and if he had put
in an appearance he would probably
nave obtained pension He was,
however, of retiring disposition and
could not bring himself to face the
court. To his friends he gave as a
reason his republican opinions, but his
real reason was his shyness. Accord
ingly he fled from the court and
sought the privacy of a public inn.
While he was there a man came in.
who began telling the company that
he was the celebrated Rousseau, and
proceeded to give an account of his
opera, which, he said. had been per-
formed before the king with great sue
cess. Most men in Rousseau's position
would have felt nothing but contempt
for the impostor, but this extraordi-
nary man felt only pity and shame.
Il trembled and blushed So" he tells
us in his Confessions" for fear the
man should be found out, that it
might have baen thought that I was
the impostor." He was afraid that
somebody might come in who knew
him and expose the pretender. At last
he could bear it no longer and slipped
out unobserved. Very few people
would treat an impostor like that

on his return to his native heath from
"Lunnon," described his sensations
during his first oratorio.
"Aw yiss, Tonald, / went to the or

How was that?" inquiries Donald.
"Weel, We see, first one man in the

he was the king of glory, and pretty
soon they were all yelling at once that
they were the king of glory. So saw

ASSASSIN EN ROUTE
 TO PENITENTIARY
Prisoner Seated In Train Handcuffed To Keeper and Smoking
 Cigar.

Buffalo, N. Y, September 26.-Czolgosz, the doomed assassin of President Mc- Kinley, was taken from Buffalo to Au- burn states prison tonight to await death by eIectrocution during the week com mencing Monday, October 2S Sheriff Caldwell and sixteen men took the pris- oner in a special car attached to the second section of train No. 12 which was due to leave at 930 The train left the New York Central station over that road at 10:O6 D. m., and the railroad officials said that an effort would be made to reach Auburn at PIP o'clock which Is schedule time.
 Czolgosz was "sneaked' out the back entrance of the Erie county jail sur rounded by seventeen men, and was hus- tied into the special car which had been backed down on the terrace tracks, few rods in the rear of the jail, min ute before. The jail was left at just $40 o'clock but slow run was made to the union station.
 Plans Kept Secret.
 Sheriff Caldwell arranged for the de- parture and his moves were kept so se- cret and were so cleverly managed that no one but the guards, the railroad off cials and the newspaper men who were on the watch knew that the assassin was being smuggled out of the jail. Sheriff Caldwell had given orders to his most trustworthy deputies to appear singly at the jail during the evening and this was followed out implicitly. As soon as the car stopped but a few rods from the rear entrance to the jail Czolgosz appeared handcuffed to Jailer Mitchell and surrouned by the sheriff and his deputies and Chief McMaster of the Auburn police department. The car con- taining the murderer was attached to the second section of the train. The news that car containing the murderer was attached to the train was spread quickly, and all the railroad men l in the station left their work to chamber upon the platforms and get look at the assassin. At 10:06 the train pulled out. At | Rochester the car will be coupled to | train running from there to Auburn, | which had orders to await the arrival of | this train.
 Smoked a Cigar.
 | Just before the train pulled out rep resentative of the Associated Press saw l Czolgosz seated easily in a seat and | smoking a cigar.
 | In the seat with the prisoner was Jailer | Mitchell and in the opposite seat, facing | them were the keeper of the penitentiary and Deputy Sheriff Sloan, the oldest and most experienced deputy sheriff in the country. The other guards were seated in | the front and back of him, and on the
 other side of the car, directly opposite | his seat.
 These precautions were taken because l the authorities received word from some | source today that the sheriff might en- | counter considerable difficulty in getting | the prisoner to Auburn. Just what sort | of trouble was feared could not be | learned, but great care was taken that no advance news of the departure of the train was telegraphed along the line.

But the victory was short-nVed. The Columbia rapidly overlook her adVer- sary and Captain Sycamore, in despera- tion, concluded to press on more can vas by trying a larger jib topsail While the sailors were out on the bowsprit talk ing in the old and bending on the larger sails the Columbia went by the Sham rock as if she had been moored to the dock, making two feet to her one. From that time to the outer mark the Co., lumbia gained steadily. She rounded the turning point seven minutes and four sec onds ahead of the Shamrock. From that time on it was a procession not a race The wind gradually dwindled down and an hour before the time limit expired it was evident that the yachts could not finish in time. The unfinished race will be resailed on Saturday.
 After the race Sir Thomas Lpton said:
 Not Satisfactory Race.
 ''It was not a satisfactory race. the wind was so cratic. race sailed on such a day, if it can be finished at all depends upon the lucky chance position as to wind of one boat or the other. I was never more hopeful of the Shamrock than I am now. I am confident I shall get the cup. I have never seen more skillful handling of boat than was shown by Captain Barr of the Columbia today. Shamrock, too, was well man. aged"
 Designer Watson said:
 'I am very well satisfied with what the boat did today. Whenever she had breeze of any strength she did exactly as I expected her to do."
