v. p. |. Glee Club.

For several weeks efforts have been
made to have the "V. p. /. Glee Club"
give the people OF Tazewell one of
their high-class entertainments. and
when it was learned that they had
booked an engagement for Bluefield
on the 23rd inst, arrangements were
promptly made TO have them here the
following night.
This Glee Club has as its director.
Prof. Z. B. Abbott. of Bellevue, who
received his musical training i'm Ger
many, and while the Club does not
pose as professional" yet it is GER
family one of the best Glee Clubs i'm the
South. They have recently made
their second tour through the South
west, and their phenomenal success at
Abingdon, Wytheville, Bristol and 9th
er places, is but one expression of the
appreciation of the people who have
had the pleasure OF hearing them.
With the possible exception of the
Wesleyan Quartette, the ~. p. Glee
Club is no doubt the best company
OF entertainers that has ever been at
Tazewell, and we bespeak for them a
most cordial welcome and a crowded

however, that this is true.
The last, and strangest of all his
pieces of luck is this: He donned a
pair OF new trowsers on Tuesday. made
to order for him by Jno. $. Bottimore,
the clothier. In one of the pockets he
felt a piece of paper, which to his sur
prise, was 2O-dollar bill. How the
bill got there is the question. "The
boys" say that Doak got pair of
somebody's secondhand trousers.
Mr.. A StClair got "a pair Just like
DoalSs, at the same time. and the
Senator suggested that perhaps the
pants got mixed. Mr.. Bottimore saws
he knows nothing about the case, as
he hadn't had the trousers on, and
besides hasn't had 20-dollar bill i'm

there you are, Doak has n pair OF new

Mistake, isn't it?
he is wasting his chance in the

PARTY SINCERITY.

The indictment of the Standard Oil
officers by federal grand jury serves
to call the attention of the country
to the fact that the regulation of the
trusts and the enforcement of the
federal statutes where they concern
the irregularities of the trusts are in
dead earnest.
The enemies of the present policy
of the republican party were loud in
their declarations that the policy of
enforcement of the law We're merely
play to the galleries. That the at
tempts to regulate the trusts OF the
country and punish those who were
violating the laws as insincere.
The Standard Oil trust is acknowl-
edged the strongest of the list. 1t has
been able for years to hide its law
breaking behind some plan or legal
bubble which prevented punishment.
The enactment of the Elkins law
was declared to be step in the inter-
est of the corporations by the class
of journals and statesmen who see no
good in anything save that which
comes from their own party or which
they themselves advocate. But the
Elkins law was enacted to meet an
emergency. There had been no means
of preventing the indirect giving of re-
bates. That law covered that point.
The Standard Oil was found guilty
Of violating this provision of the law
and the officers were indicted. The
only thing to regret is that the law
does not provide a punishment by i'm
prisonment rather than by fine. The
latter method will allow the officers to
escape personally and the fines while
decidedly heavy, will not serve as
severe punishment to the treasury of
the company.
Nevertheless it proves that the stand
taken by the republican party in bring
ing the trust to an accounting is not
made for show, and that when a rec
LITIGATION of existing evils is needed
the republican party can always be de-
pended upon to do it without noise or
ostentatfon.

NO NEED OF MERCY,

The democratic party in this state
Is not taken seriously, not even by
itself. That it does not have a shadow
of chance of winning at the Novem-
Der elections is we'll recognized fact.
Yet it is we'll to keep the merits of
the party contentious before the pub
lie lest they be forgotten and another
calamity like that which carried
Cleveland into power be repeated.
That election was a matter of acct
dent as we'll as the determination of
the American public to try that which
they have not experienced. There is
a strong tendency to be willing to ac-
cept change merely because it is a
change.
1t is a fact also that when the party
majority is overwhelmingly large in
any political division the people for
get to some extent the value of the
vote at the election. The party of tho
minority always with nothing to lose
and everything to gain, make strong
bids for the bestowal of friendship
votes upon party candidates and out
