The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1881-10-20

From this statement, it will be seen that the
number OF schools, the number of pupils, and
the number of teachers have each been nearly
doubled, and also that the Readjusters have
seen to it that the schools got nearly four hun.
dred thousand dollars more Of the money due
them.
These figures speak volumes, and were j to
write line upon line and page after page,
could not say more than is contained in this
statement.
But some OF the Funder speakers and pa
peFs have claimed that this improved condition
OF the schools is due to the operation Of the
Henkel BILL and that consequently the Beur-
bon party is to be credited with the improve
ment.
Now, the facts are thete: That the Bourbon
Funders having defeated the Massey School
Bill which provided that the schools should
get all that was due them, were afraid to face
their constituents without doing or pretend
ing to do something for the schools, and the
Henkel bill which only provides for the issu-
ance of certificates for three joatsths OF the
amount due the schools, was introduced and
unanimously passed, the Readjusters voting for
it because il was the best they could do, after
the defeat Of the Massey bill.
Thus you will see at q glance the difference
between these two parties. The Re-adjusters
were anxious to give the schools all the mon
ey due them, and advocated the Massey bill for
that purpose; but failing IN that, they forced
the Funders to provide for thfee-fnuFths of the
amount of the school fund.
The fact is that the Re-adiusters, under all
circumstances, and at all times, have shown .
determination to stand by the public schools,
while the legislation If the Flinders has al
ways had the effect Of crippli4g the schools.
Another Issue in this campaign, and one
about which every man in the State is eon-
cerned, is the Importance Of
HAyING AN ECoNoAICAI4 ADMINISTRATION OF
THE GOVERNMENT.
No, we know that the Funder party had,
year after year, gone on administering the af-
fairs Of the government IN such loose and, to
put it mildly, such an understandable man
ner, that the debt Of, Virginia had all the time
been accumulating, the schools gone down,
and instead Of capital and labor pouring into
our State, actually our own young men were
leaving her borders to seek more promising
fields. In view of these things, tie people, in
1879, hurled them from power and placed the
Re-adjusters in their PLACE The last named
party found that the Flinders had lett them a
legacy in the shape OF an empty treasury and
ruined credit.

Hon. John F. Lewis on the Political
Issues

Issues
To the People Of Vnyina
Ihad intended to have taken an active part
in the present canvass, but was prevented by
a spell ofsickness, and my strength not return-
ing as rapidly as had hoped, ! have deter
mined to take this method of laying before
you my views upon the issues of this cam
paign, as l may not be able to visit many
parts Of the State before the election day.
And consider these issues to be too impOr-
tant to allow this campaign to pass without
giving you, in my imperfect way, my views
upon them.
IN THIS ADDRESS PROPOSE BRIEFLY TO
DISCUSS
LIST. The legitimate issues of this campaign,
and the manner in which they are treated in
the platforms of the two parties, as well as
the record which these parties have made upon
these questions;
And secondly. The false issues with which
the Bourbon Funders have attempted to OBJ
scure the real issues.
Before entering, however, upon the discus
sion of the questions which divide the two
parties, want to call your attention to the
fact that upon the Bourbon Funder ticket,
NEITHER THE VALLEY NOR THE GREAT
SOUTHWEST rs REPRESENTED,
Though these sections pay much the larger
part of the taxes.
There is no man upon that ticket who lives
west of the Blue Ridge mountains, thus show
ing that the Funders have in this matter, as
is their usual custom, neglected to consult the
wishes Of the great body of the taxpayers of
the State.
The Re-adjuster ticket, on the other hand,
has upon it a representative from the eastern
portion of the State, one from the Valley, and
one from the southwest
1t is also a noteworthy fact that the Read
justers have not confined themselves to one
class of citizens in choosing their ticket, but
have tried to represent, as far as possible, the
different interests, taking for the three places
on their ticket, one editor, a farmer and
lawyer, while the Fataders haze taken all their
Representatives. from one profession and that the
profession of law.
The real issues Of this campaign, are in my
opinion.

The recent improvement in the or

extended to the food as we'll as to the
arms and discipline of it's soldiers, and
the days ration Of q Russian private
|of 1881, rough as it is, would have
been thought absolute luxury by his
|half-starved predecessor of the last
generation. The tarinaoeous ration
lin time Of war is q little over two
pounds of hard black biscuit per day ;
lin peace, it is the same amount OF
wheat or barley -four and buckwheat
Cruel, the latter being much esteemed
10y the Russian peasantry. Four days

the fame of 8 regiment which TASTED
for three days and fought a battle on

stance occurred during Suvaroh 6

Ihalf-starved Russians poured into
the village Of Andermatt, of whose
famous cheese they had heard SO
many stories, their first proceeding
was TO devour tho contents Of large
store filed with what they supposed
to be the dainty in question, and
then falling upon the French they
beat them back across the Reuss.
When Suvarof, after the battle prais-
! ed the valor of his men, one Of them
|modestly attributed it to the "god

phautly displayed the half-gnawed

A Natural Mistake.

1t was foggy afternoon, and the rain had
begun to fall. Lower Broadway was
crowded with 6rays, buses and vehicles of
Ievery description, drivers were shouting at
leach other, and there was a scene of great
confusion. People stood upon the sidewalks
waiting in the rain for an opportunity to
,cross the street, and among the impatient
sthrong was an elderly-looking lady appar-
7ently much troubled by the site cation, who,
latter watching in vain for a policeman,
finally made an effort to cross the street, but
sretI eated in. alarm. Just then portly
2middle-aged gentleman of benign coun-
stenance stepped up and touched the lady
2on the shoulder: cit is useless tor you to
wait or to look for policeman" he said
55"It is pity that an old lady like yourself
should be kept standing in this crowd, so if
9you will take my arm will cross here he
Ipaused, for the face of the lady was turned
Toward him, and he beheld the round, ros Il
Ecountenance of young lady just out of her
teens. Her bright black eyes spoke volumes
lof astonishment and Indignation, and with
an additional upward turn to her naturally v
Eretrousse nose she mockingly replied: ''Old
lady, indeedP' and picking up her dainty
skirts she made lively run across the street,
gaining the opposite side in safety, and was
quickly out of sight. The polite but dazed
Samaritan stood still for moment in silent
wonder, and then walked slowly away
whistling softly to himself. The secret of
tine blunder was simply tnis The young lad VI
was completely enveloped in an antique|
Mother Hubbard's cloak, whose heavy folds
hung straight down from its wide, old
fashioned yoke. Upon her head was an i'm
|mense coal. scuttle scoop bonnet, the over
|arching brim covering her head and face
|and the sides of the bonnet were held down.
by broad strings, hid in an immense bow at
|oI.e side. A large Mother Hubbard bag of
black satin hung from her arm, and with
her back to the crowd she looked as if she|
might be her own great-grandmother.
