MAJOR DANIEL AND THE SCHOOLS
That Major Daniel is no new convert 70
the public-school system all who are &C.
uuainted with his history will testify.
He not only aided in establishing the
system sooner than the Constitution re-
quired it to be put into operation, but has
always been known as its friend. we
have, too, before US just now, collateral
evidence of the most convincing sort
We find from our files that In the course
of speech which he made In Winches-
ter two years ago. he declared that to
Shenandoah was due ''the glory of hav-
ing produced the head which had de.
vised and the hand which had applied
the remedy" to keep the school fund
untouched. Major Daniel said:
"Already the funds are pouring Into
the public schools, " land again the busy
hum of children's voices was heard In
the re-opened and revivifled schools"
OfMr. Henkel Major Daniel said:
1.-THE friends Of education and OF rea
readiustment should greet him every.
| where with the welcome. We'll done
good and faithful servant; receive thu
plaudits Of the people; whom you hav'
SO we'll served ;"
Major Daniel was no candidate TO
Governor then. Besides, the very WORD
he employs prove him to be . SINGER
friend of the public schools. Rea'

The DEATH OF ALEXANDER NOSE
LY.-Our Richmond dispatches an
nounce the death of Alexander Mosely,
ESQ.,, of the Richmond Wing. for many
years one of the most prominent ed3-
torial contributors to the Virginia press.
Mr.. Mosely became an associate OF John
Hampden Peasants in the editorial
management of the Richmond wing
in 1885, and with brief intermissions
was connected with that journal until
his last illness. He waa contempora-
nv of Mr.. Richie, of the Richmond
Enquirer, and belonged to that famous
old school of Virginia journalists, now
almost if not quite extinct, whose bril-
liant and aggressive genius earned the
press of their State wide celebrity IN
the earnest days of Jackson, Webster
and Clay, and who were always ready
to defend their editorial utterances ac-
cording to the fashion of the times-a
fashion which cost the chivalric Pleas
ants his life and which imperilled the
lives of many others of that day. Mr..
Mosely was Q writer of force, and was
particularly happy in the polemics Of
journalism, and won no mean laurele
in the field of editorial discussion.
With himypasses away one OF the last
representatives of the old Virginia
press, with all its faults, brilliant, hon.
est, and bold.-BaItina0re Sun.

1.-TWO SWEET FOR ANYTHING. I'VE
reproduce the following brief romance
from the New Haven Register, for the
benefit of those guileless youths Of our
town who may not be acquainted with
the willy tactics of ''lovely woman"
Their name is legion, and we invite
them to attend to the moral conveyed :
"How delightful to enjoy the com.
partnership for which the soul longeth. !"
said he, as his arm naturally drifted
across the back of the next chair.
"Indeed! And is that companionship
you speak of SO feelingly anything
that I can-assist-y top inquired
she, with hesitating languor.
"Ye.e-s. Oh, Adelaide, even now
the stars seem to look down upon US
with their benedictione, and the comet
lights up with additional glow as if our
happiness added new ray to its lus-
ire"
Augustus. you're just too sweet for
anything. We will go to the excursion
to morrow, won't we ?"
But Augustus replied not. He hadn't
but ST. .13 in his purse, and tickets for
the round trip were seventy-five cents
each.

WRITTEN ON THE DEATH OF MR.. AND MRS.
GEORGE sHUEY.
Mysterious messenger. again you've come.
And robbed Of its last inmate another home,
And there ever your shadow will remain
What that home has been it cannot be again.
The mother. the grandmother, you took away.
You can never bring back for single day;
Though our hearts with grief and with anguish
are torn,
You never undo your work; it must be borne.
That mothers place must be vacant forever,
TITS strangely sad to think we'll meet here
never,
In pleasure or pain, in Joy or in sorrow,
Wen miss her smiles and tears through each

A few short months you took her away,
The father, the grandfather, you've taken to-
day,
And caused each wounded heart now to bleed
For him who loved us. and was so kind and
true.
That homestead which afforded pleasure SO
Is vacant,-has nothing to draw our hearts
there;
Its echoes bring mournfully to mind the past
The dear ones gone. and happy hours that fled
fast.
Father, from your life may we q lesson learn.
For faith and submission, like yours, may VI
yearn;
When death comes may we be as ready to 60,
As ready to leave all we love here below;
As ready to 60 to that mansion above.

THR FIRST AMERICAN POSTAGE
STAMP.-The first postage stamp ever
used in this country is believed to have
been brought out in New Haven in 1916
by E. A. Mitchell, who was then the
postmaster there. Mr.. Mitchell, in re-
Spouse to many complaints of inconve-
nience in paying postage at the delivery
windows, as the office was sometimes
closed, and it took time at best, finally
got stamp engraved and printed.
These stamps were sold at postage rates,
and proved very convenient. Mr.. A.
E. Lines, an engraver, of New Haven.
has found the original design. He had
engraved it in 1916, and saved it. The
stamping tool was made for use as can.
ceiling stamp, is used now, and the let
ters were engraved on brass. Recently
Mr.. Lines showed his old design to
Postmaster Sperry, of New Haven, who
told him he had been offered $500 for
one of the impressions.

IN SPECTATOR ANDlGENERAL D VERTI8 ER.--

We hear good news from the very SEQ
tons of the State which were expected
to give the Malone ticket its greatest
support. The people seem to be ready
for the election already. They are De.
termined to settle the debt question and
be done with it. They know that 1t
cannot be settled by reputation OF any
sort. They know that If the Riddle
berger bill should become law, and the
State debt be nominally disposed OF 40
cording to its provisions, the thirteen
millions of that debt thus repudiated
would years hence "wake Duncan with
its knocking.n There can be no quietus
put upon this question by the Riddle
berger or any other reputation BILL
The thirteen millions Of dollars which
that bill proposes to repudiate are not
separate and independent debt which
can thus be disposed of. On the con-
trary, that bill proposes to repudiate the
of every bond for 81 900 issued by $470
State Of Virginia in 1871, and known ~
"consols." Who can for moment ex-
pect such q settlement to be f1nality !?
Work, therefore, for the election Of .
LEGISLATURE that will co. operate with
Daniel, Barbour and Mckinney in Of
| fecting settlement of the debt which
shall forever relieve the people of Vir-
ginia of that disturbing question, and
leave no room for any more coalitions
on the part of professed Democrats with
Radicals and negroes.
But that last word reminds US that
many of the negroes refuse to be sold
out to the Malone party. Even in the
South Side there IL going to be very
respectable negro vote for John w.
Daniel. We have been surprised to
learn how many of the negroes In thai
section have expressed their intention
to vote the regular Democratic ticket
i We are well aware that there IL moth,
ling in the past history Of the Negro
which would justify us In expecting hi
aid in the pending campaign. We have
been disappointed heretofore when We
expected Ills assistance. But that wa,
when we expected him to desert the Re.
publican party. Even last year he re-
fused to desert that party. But now
there is.no Republican ticketin the fiel(
for the State offices, ana he will be fre'
to vote for our candidates. Besides
there will be Republican candidates fol
the Senate and the House of Delegates
and these will have tendency to keel
the negroes inside Of the Republican
ranks.
4 We conclude, therefore, that though
there is work to be done, that work will
be done, and that the Sth day of Novem
Der next will witness victory for tn
Democratic party which will put int
!, our possession as well the Legislature q
the Governorship. Let every man se
to it that he fail not In the discharge Q
any duty which patriotism requires a
his hands. Dispatch.

THE VIRGINIA SUIcIDE.-There's
room in Virginia for one honest Repub-
lican party and room for it to grow and
win substantial fruits, but there isn't
room for two Republican parties in that
State nor is there room there for dis
honest Republican party. Had the hon.
est Republicans of Virginia been sus-
tanned by the national administration
as they and their cause deserved, there
are not thousand members of that par
ty, white or black, who would have fol-
lowed Malone to Reputation and dis
honor; but in an evil hour Malone gave
the balance of power in the Senate to
the Republicans by contract, and that
coalition of the Senate Re-
publicans with Malone, Riddleberger
and population ended Republication
u . great power in Virginia. It Is now
. pitiable wreck, rent IN fragments by
