SENATOR DANIEL, who is now in
Washington, when asked yesterday for
an expression of his views on the tariff
situation, especially since the recent
speeches of President Roosevelt in the
West, said:
"The tariff will be inevitably debated
at the next session of Congress, and If
the republicans who favor the Iowa idea
are in earnest they will have the oppor-
tunity to show it. There is a general
desire to reform the tariff in some re-
spects. as the shoe pinches not only con-
sumers in general, but many merchants
and manufacturers. The republicans
are afraid of the question, lest the re-
form, once begun, may go further than
suits their purposes. But the question
will not down. 1t is in the hearts and
minds of the people, and it touches their
rockets and vital interests. A radical
overturning of the tariff down to reve-
nue. basis on all things was not in the
Wilson bill and will not be likely in any
bill. as conditions must modify the APP
plication of theories, and conservative
spirit must dominate in any wise an
enduring movement that avoids destruc-
tive effects"
Senator Daniel is in line with most OF
the democratic leaders on the tariff ques-
ton. Tariff reform should be the chief
plank in the next national democratic
platform. Even the republicans promise
such reform but they have no idea of
fulfilling their promises, as was shown
by their action in the last Congress, and
the masses must look for relief to the
democratic party-the party of the

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL s, 1908.

In THE election in Baltimore yester-
dav the entire regular democratic organi-
cation ticket, excepting perhaps few
members for the first branch City Coun-
oil was nominated. 1t was an import
ant victory for the regular State and city
organizations, of which Senator German
and Mr.. Freeman Rasin are the leaders.
For four years they have regarded Mr..
Hayes as a disturbing element IN the
party. He antagonized the organization
in every way,9 using his thousand or
more appointees to build up a City Hall
machine, with the apparent intention OF
smashing the old organization machine.
Mr.. German let him have hemayoralty'
Mr.. Hayes then posed as a reformer and
planned TO become the leader of his
marty. He was too ambitious and over
leaped himself, though yesterday he be-
lieved he had all the money at his COM
mand to secure a denomination. The
organization that first made him mayor
Yesterday turned him down for a re-
nomination. The vote shows that IN
spite of the attacks made upon the or
ganization it is stronger today than for
years past. The State organization yes
terday helped the city organization with
view to harmonizing the party in the
confident expectation of the election OF
Mr. McLane in May at the regular city
election. This they hope will assure
the election of democratic Governor in
the fall and legislature that will elect
a democratic United States Senator to
succeed Senator McComas and make
Senator German a prominent figure in
the democratic national convention.

Polar Expedition Fails.

Berlin, Aug. 80. The German South
Pole Expedition, which sailed from Kiel
on the steamship Gauss, August IL, 1901,
under the leadership of Prof Enrich Won
Drygalski, has arrived at the Island of St,
Helena.
In au article published in the magazine
"Globus," Prof. H. Singer, of the Univef'
sity of Prague, asserts that the expedition
has been failure and gives the public no
further knowledge than it before possessed
regarding the Antartic regions.
Prof Singer criticises the action OF Prof
Drygalski in changing the name of Ter
mination Island, discovered by the Amerl'
can explorer, Wilkes, sixty-three years ago
and says that Won Drygaski's statement
that the land said to have been discovered
by Wilkes does not exist, has not been
proved, as the Gauss also passed through
that part of the ocean in uncerain weather

Or. GllIespie's SanitarIum.

The new sanitarium of DR.. K. B, Giles
pie is a credit to our town. He has ex'
pended much time and money in having
it properly constructed and we trust his
worthy enterprise will meet with deserved
success. Several months ago he began
to remodel the old building, and had that
work so done that it is now truly new
structure and is one of the most complete
little hospital that can be found anywhere.
The building is two story frame struc'
ture with splendid ventilation, excellent
sanitation and quiet location.
On the first floor are located front en-
trance hall, two nice offices, anaesthe tic
and operating rooms, kitchen, closets and
elevator landing. On the second floor are
six neat, airy rooms for patients, water
and linen closets. bath room and elevator
landing. From the front entrance hall q
neat stairway leads to the upper floor.
After patients have been operated on
they are placed on the elevator and taken
to their rooms on the second floor. The
operating room is as neat and complete as
can be found anywhere.
DIR. Gillespie is clever physician and
skillful surgeon and the profession and the
public should give hi. enterprise that cor
dial support which it merits.

Our Coming Fair.

The Tazewell Fair, the sixth annual ex-
hibit of Clinch Valley Agricultural and
Breeders Association will be held on the
9th, 9TH and Sth of next month, October.
We wish to impress upon the people OF
our town and county the Importance OF
united effort to make this the most sue
cessful fair ever held in the county. For
the past six years our county has been
making wonderful progress in every kind
of business, but especially in agriculture.
We have had reason in the past to boast
that Tazewel is one of the very best
counties in the State. Now that strangers
will be at the fair, let every person in the
county do what they can to make our
claims for it good to those who will
come here to see. The farmers, who have
been so prosperous and progressive, owe
it asa duty to see that every live stock de-
partment shall be complete. That is, that
they shall reflect credit on the great
county of Tazewel. We have as fine cat
tie as are found anywhere, our saddle
horses heve a reputation that is almost
unrivaled, while the lambs sheep and
swine of the county measure up with the
best. Let every stall and pen IN these de-
partments be filled with the very best
specimens. In the past few years there
has been largely increased interest in the
poultry business. Some of our citizens
have found it quite profitable and it is
confidently predicted that IN few more
years the money value of the poultry
shipped from the county will exceed that
of the export cattle. Let the poulty
raisers see that their department is
good one at the fair.
A few enterprising gentleman Of the
county and town have started out to make
the coming exhibit the best our people
have ever seen here, and every prosper
GUS and progressive man and woman IN
the county should give these men cordial
support. Each day there will be stock
sales, game of baseball between the
Tazewell and Brsmwell teams, shooting
contest, nice saddle horse diHplays and
interesting races, and such other amuse-
ments as the management can secure.
Go to work to make the Fair success.

HUNTING DOWN
THE FOREIGNERS
Venezuelan Authorities Making 1t Un-
pleasant for Italians in The
Interior.
And Obtain Release of French and German
Subjects Rfigy Beaten With Sticks.
Claims Seized in Post.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Aug. 81
Harsh injustice is being meted out to
Areigners residing in the interior OF Vene-
zuela, where the local authorities are
hunting down all foreigners who dare to
present claims against Venezuela in ac-
cerdance with the recent protocol. Near
Coro local tribunal refused to accept the
testimony of five Italians. On the latter
insisting in rendering their dispositions,
three we're arrested and thrown into Jail.
Two of them attempted to escape and
were fred upon, one being killed. The
Venezuelan government does not deny
this occurrence but is doing nothing to
prevent repetitions. 1t is learned on good
authority that letters sent to foreigners
from the Italian and other legations in
structing them to send in their claims,
were seized in the post so as to prevent
the claims from arriving in Caracas in due
time.
Recently mob hung an ethgy repre-
ienting foreigner, and the populace beat
the dummy with sticks amid shouts Of
"death TO the foreigners.
Two leading traders, NJ. Palazzi, a
Frenchman, and Herr s. fck, a German,
were recently arrested i'll Ciudad, Bolivar,
by order of President Castro, for refusing
to pay the taxes which had already been
collected by the revolutionists during the
latter's occupation Of the city. Many old
persons we're arrested on the same charge.
The French and German ministers at
Caracas protested and obtained the imme'
diate release Of their fellow countrymen'

Garibaldl Says Greece Should Help
Turkey.

Rome, Aug. 30.-General Ricciotti Carl
baldi, who fought on the side of Greece
against Turkey in 1897, has been inter-
viewed regarding the rumor that Greece
will support Turkey against Macedonia.
He said he did not find it strange that
Greece and Turkey should unite IN sup
pressing the Macedonian insuneclion.
81 myself" he continued, "have urged
Greece to come to an agreement with Tur-
key before Russian pan.Savism or Aus
trian pan.Germanism gains the mastery
over all the eastern Adriatic coast, Greece,
Albania and Italy have only one road to
safety and that is a full and cordial agree
ment with Turkey.
"Boris Sarafof asked my advice in or
ganizing the Macedonian insurrection,
complaining that was unfavorable to it,.
l answered that | could not approve it
because the insurrection was based on the
hope of Austro Russian Intervention, which
if it came about, would be III the interest
of those two countries.
"My plan is the independence of Alban-
ia under Italian protection with an under
standing with Greece, while contemporary
ously Sarafof would appeal to Europe for
Macedonian independence, renouncing all
idea of Austro.Russian intervention. II
my program is accepted l will appeal to
the Italian people, convinced that in twen'
ty.four hours 10000 volunteers would fol-
low me to the other side of the Adriatic.
] am in hope that the Italian Government
would net prevent my carrying out this
project, but if it did | would renounce
Italian citizenship"

MORE TRIUMPHS FOR MARCONl
The Lucania Got Daily News on Her Trip


NEW YORK, August Sl.-A remark
able feature of the trip of the Lucania, of
the Cunard Line, which arrived Saturday
night, was the fact that during the trip
she was in wireless communication all the
way. Messages were received from Cape
Breton and other shore stations, giving
the news of each day on both sides of the
Atlantic. Signor Marconi, who was PAS
senger, watched closely the reception Of
messages, and made number of expert
ments to improve the receiving.
"The Marconi Bulletin" published on
board, shows that news of the yacht races
was received almost as soon as it was IN
this city. On August 22nd, at 10 p. m''
from Seaforth Station was received the
news of the winning of the first race by
the Reliance. On the night Of August %
the result of the second race was received
on board. On Wednesday the news of
the Humberts being found guilty in Paris
was announced, and on the next day a
message from this side told the passengers
that Doherty had won the all-comers ten
mis- championship at Newport. Other
news was alsy received.
Marconi comes to this country to look
after the plans of the wireless telegraph
company of which ne is the head He is
to consult his patent lawyers regarding
fopr new inventions which will facilitate
the sending Of messages and improve the
wireless service. Marconi was reluctant
no speak concerning his inventions which
not only assures the sending of CONNER
cial messages across the Atlantic but would
reduce the power necessary to send them.

Successful Fruit Culture.

We have frequently urged upon our
readers the advisablity of householders
and farmers in Tazewel county giving
more attention to fruit culture. One rea-
son we haye assigned s that all persons
should have all abundance of fruit for use
in their families, as it is among the most
healthful, most delightful and cheapest Of
foods. Another reason is that it can be
made very profitable.
Situated as our county is, a home
market for all the surplus fruit that
can be produced here can be readily
found. The great developments that are
being made in the nearby coal-felds, with
the consequent largely increased and in.
cressing population will supply such
markets.
One gentlemen in this vicinity has been
giving considerable attention to the busl-
ness, Mr. Samuel g. Peery, who resides
one mile east of North TazeweI. He has
hundreds Of young trees, apples, peaches,
pears, cherries and plums, from two to
four years old, that are growing beautifully
and promise to be source of profit and
pleasure to their owner. This year they
would haye yielded considerable amount
of fruit but for the late, killing frosts.
Mr.. Peery, however, has large abun-
dance of the finest grapes that have ever
been grown in this or any other country.
His vineyard is marvel of beauty. He
has several hundred vines of the most val
liable varieties, and they have been or
are now laden with the most luscious and
delicious fruit. Among the white varieties
are the Green Mountain, the earliest and
most delicious grape We ever ate, the Nj
agara, Martha and others. Among the
purple, Campbell's Early, Concord, and
others; and among the reds or pinks, the
Delaware, Brighton and other kinds.
Any lover of this delightful fruit would be
charmed to see Mr.. Peery's vines. He
purchased all his trees and vines from the
Geo. A. Sweet Nursery Co., of Dansville,
n. Y. They have all come true, and are
the healthiest and best growers We have
ever seen.
