Good for Senator Harman.

On last Saturday Hon. J. N. Harman,
our representative in the State Senate,
made decided hit In that body with a
speech delivered in favor of the Haisey
bill for placing statue of General Robert
E. Lee in Statuary Hall in the Capitol at
Washington. Senator Wickham, OF
Hanover, had preceded Senator Harman,
and the Richmond Times Dispatch says:
"When Mr.. Wickham had taken hs
seat, Mr.. Harman was recognized. To
follow such man as the Senator from
Hanover, and such a speech as he had
made, was no easy task, but when the
Tazewell Senator, one of the new mem
bers, tall, rather sparely built, with flow
ing mustache and attired in the garb Of a
clergyman, commenced bis remarks,
another hush fell over the body. Not q
word was spoken by any one save by the
Senator who was addressing the body.
Mr.. Harman received, at the close of his
remarks, an ovation that almost equale
that accc rded Mr.. Wickham.
We are glad to note that our friend Har
man is not disposed to let his Democratic
friends monopolize the privilege Of speak
ing we'll of Virginia's great and heroes o.
the past.

BRYAN WON'T ATTEND.
Declined 10 Go to Banquet 10 which
Cleveland Was Invited.

Chicago, February 7.-William J. BRYAN
today declared he would refuse to attend
and banquet to which Grover Cleveland
was to be invited. Colonel Bryan's de-
claraton was made through an intimate
friend to the officers of the Iroquois Club,
which intended to invite Bryan, Cleveland
and other Democratic leaders to a banquet
to be held on the anniversary of Jackson's
birthday March l6.
1t had been proposed to make this BAN
quet the occasion for a national Demo-
cratic love feast. The banquet committee
of the club had prepared list Of promi-
nent Democrats to whom invitations were
sent to make addresses. The first name
on the list was that of former President
Grover Cleveland. The second one was
that of W. j. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan passed through the city to.
day on his way to Indiana. He saw the
list of speakers that was published in the
morning papers, and Immediately de
clared that he would not attend the BAN
quet.
"What need is there oEinvitng any one
else to banquet at which Grover Cleve.
land is to be present." he asked, and re-
quested friend TO have his name stricken
Off the list Of those who were to be invited.
In compliance with Mr.. Bryan's express
wish, Judge Tulley was told of Mr. Bry ans
remark. Judge Tulley will refer the
question of issuing an invitation to Mr..
Bryan to the banquet committee of the

STATE ORGANIZATION
Col. Browning Talks About State Chair
manship.
Pocahontas, Va, Feb. 5, 1853.

Pocahontas, Va, Feb, s. 1858.
Editor of The News, Bristol, Tenn:
There has been great deal of comment
upon my statement in an interview in the
Richmond Dispatch regarding the chair
manship Of the Republican party in Vir-
ginia, Much of this comment is adverse,
that comes from the present executive
committee, Mr.. Agnew and Mr.. Asa
Rogers, being very positive in their views.
Mr.. Agnew is chairman and Mr.. Rogers
secretary. Both are Federal ofIiceholders.
Neither are but slightly known to the Re-
pubicans of the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict.
What 1 contend for is that the chair
manship shall come to the Ninth District
of Virginia. 1t is the only Republican
district in the Stale at present, and is en-
titled to a much larger share in the
management of the party than has been
accorded here.
AS to the suggestion by the reporter as
to my candidacy. | wish to say that l
am not an aspirant. My own business
takes my time, but l am into the fight,
and propose to stay, in an honest and
earnest endeavor to place the party
organization in Virginia outside the list of
twelve Office holders. Let any Republican
take the list and he will Ue surprised. Mr.
Agnew, chairman and internal revenue
collector; Mr. Rogers, sec 'etary aud internal
revenue collector; Mr.. Bowden, national
committeeman and clerk of the United
Safest Court. This is only partial list.
If we are to have any Republican party
10 Virginia, we will have to have re-
organization.
AS to the man, let the occasion bring
him forward. agree with the Times Dis
patch correspondent that MIR. Lindsey
would be splendid man. If we are to
ever conduct live campaign in Virginia,
we will have to organize on different lines.
We have been losing ground, when we
should be gaining. We should have three
or four districts in Virginia in place of one;
and to do so, the present organization
must 90.
Yours truly,
JAMES 5. browsing.

STATEHOOD FIGHT is SOON TO END
Republican Compromise Bill to Combine
Arizona and New Mexico, and Okla-
homa and Indian Territory.

Washington, D. G., Feb. S.-This has
A,been day Of conferences among RepuDh-
Can leaders of the Senate, and tonight
confidence that a compromise on the
statehood bill will be agreed to tomorrow
This will break the deadlock and allow
business to proceed rapidly.
The details of the compromise are kept
a close secret as their publication might
interfere with the complete agreement to-
morrow.
In general way, however, it is known
that the compromise provides for the ad
mission of the four Territories as two
States. Oklahoma and Indian Territory
are to be combined in one State, TO be
known as Oklahoma. New Mexico and
Arizona are to be formed into one State,
to be known as Arizona.
The provision talked ofyesterday, which
would permit these two States to bt
divided hereafter into four States under
certain conditions, it is understood has
leen abandoned.
If this plan does not take shape Senator
Quay is likely to press his statehood
amendment on the agricultural appro
priation bill and test OF strength will
ensue. The vote on this amendment will
be very close if taken, and while the
omnibus bill advocates feel that they have
a majority they realize that 1t will not be
so large as it would be on direct vote OF.
the statehood bill alone and by itself.
An effort also will be made during the
week to secure consideration of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Germany now seems eager to declare it's
friendship for the United States. al
right, let us be friends.
President Roosevelt acted very wisely in
declining to act for the allied Powers in
settling their dispute with Venezuela.
We hear everv day Democratic friends
speak in glowing terms of existing business
conditions. We ask all such, why should
there be a change in the business policy of
the country?
Turkey is organizing an army of 24O, 900
men on account of anticipated trouble in
Macedonia. If war breaks out between the
Turks and Macedonians the Powers may
be drawn into the quarrel, and the Turks
may be driven from Europe.
Bills for establishing dispensaries in the
States of Virginia and West Virginia have
been introduced in the respective Legisa'
lures of these States. Can it be possible
that either of the Virginias will adopt the
policy of Ben Iillman on the liquor
traffic?
The newspapers in Pennsylvania have
been raising a great disturbance over the
beggarly salaries that are paid the public
school teachers in that State. If the
teachers of Pennsylvania were paid no
better than the teachers in Virginia there
would be a loud howl, sure tn ugh, in III It
State.
We notice that w. B. Fulton, of Wise
county, has introduced resolution in the
House of Delegates of Virginia, asking
Congress to forthwith call constitutional
convention for the purpose of submitting
to the States for ratification or re.
lection an amendment to the Federal Con
stilution providing for the election of
United States Senators by the direct vote
of the people. This is strange move.
ment for Mr.. Futon, who was not elected
to the position he holds by a direct vote Of
the people, but who gained it by the vote
of the legislative body which he seeks by
his resolution to deprive Of an authority
vested in it by the Constitution. 1t ls
well known that joseph Hibbitts, Re-
publican, was elected by the vote of the
people to represent the counties of Buch.
anan, Dickinson and Wise in the House
of Delegates, and that a Democratic
House, without any right but partisan
might, deprived Hlbbitts of his seat and
gave it to w. b. Fulton 1t is usual for
the people to praise the bridge that carries
them over safely; but it seems that Mr..
Fulton is not disposed to follow the rule.

EUROPE'S WAR CLOUD.
The SuItan's Mobilization Order ExCites
Apprehension.

Paris, February 7.-Olicial advices have
been received here confirming the report
that the Sultan of Turkey has ordered the
immediate mobilization of 240, 900 troops
for military demonstration in Macedonia.
The step taken is regarded with apprehen-
sion by the French officials as being likely
to involve complications between Turkey
and Russia and Austria.
1t is said that the Russian and Austrian
governments have agreed on firm note
to the Sultan, which will be presented
within the next few days, insisting On ad-
minstrative and official reforms in
Macenonia. Although France will not be
a party to the note she will approve of it.
1t is considered that the Sultan g mObiliza-
ton of such a vast army is clearly an effort
to forestal the presentation If this note.
The mobilization of SO many troops is re-
garded here as unwise and dangerous, es-
pecially as 1t is said that the soldiers who
are brought into Macedonia from Asiati;
Turkey are semi.barbarOus levies and ere
hostile to Christians, which will tend to
inaugurate another series of masacres. 1t
is understood the powers are exchanging
views as to the course to be pursued to-
wards the mobilization of Turkish troops.
