GOVERNOR KEMPER, of Virginia, has
issued proclamation announcing that
the ceremonies ofinaugurating the stat
ne of Stonewau Jackson, received re-
Gently from Europe, will take place III
Capitol Square, Richmond, on Tuesday,
the Goth day of October. The people
Of Virginia, and all others, OF whatever
State or section, who admire genius
and valor, who love virtue and revere
the memory of Gen. Jackson, are cor
daily invited by the Governor to be
present on that day, i'll order ''that an
o,1tpourirg worthy of the occasion may
attest the admiration of the people for
his exalted character, and their appre-
ciation of the sympathy that prompted
their friends in the British Islands to
present a memorial so noble and SO
gratifying to the whole Southern pco-
ple." It is expected that the widow
and daughter of Gen. Jackson will be
the guests of the State of Virginia or
City of Richmond on the occasion OF
the unwilling of the statue.
THERE is no telling what man can
make of himself until he tries. When
Mr.. E. G. Ross, of Kansas, got to be
Unite States Senator, he might well
have Supposed that he al reached the
highest point of all his greatness, but
with determination worthy OF the
heroes Of the ol6en time, he made an
other rush upward, and found himself
foreman in the office of the Lawrence
JO,unal After a year in that position
he has become assistant editor of the
paper. Ross is a man whom 1t IS n
real pleasure for the true Christian to
bet on.

held in Ohio, Nebraska, and Iowa. In
Ohio the man issue is Initiation,
supplemented by the public school ques-
ton. Gov VIM Allen is the Demo

, b. Hayes. The prohibitionists pre-

. plurality of SIT. At that election the
prohibitioniots polled 10, OS votes, and

less party" received 9,971 votes. In
