Blaine and Arthur as Politicians,

Mr.. Arthur is said to be cute and
willy politician. He is charged with
using the power of the administration
to re elect himself President. Every
Federal Office holder who expresses
himself as being in favor of Mr. Ar
thur, is said to have been ordered by
his master to do his bidding, Now,
is it possible, that because a man
holds Federal Office he is to be de
prived the right to express a political
preference Does, it seem unreason-
able that a man employed by the adj
ministration should be for it as much
as against it? Why don't the friends
and admirers of James G. Blaine be
consistent? Why not accord to
another all they would have them
Selves Has anybody ever heard it
asserted that Blaine is not politician?
Does anybody believe that any man
who is not a politician would 8llow
his name TO appear constantly before
the National Convention of a party
only to be washed under? Does any
sane man think that if Blaine would
succeed to the Presidency that he
would not, like a politician, award his
friends and punish his enemies? 1t
takes a politician to direct the affairs
of this great country of ours. and uu-
less man has had an abundance OF
experience in that direction, he is un-
fitted to assume the great trust. A
man who has had a quarter of cen
tury's experience in the National
House of Representatives, the United
States Senate, and as Secretary of the
United States, certainly comes very
close to being politician. Blaine
never played his haud in politics, ex-
cept for a heavy stake, while Arthur
steps up from a simple Collector of
the Port of New York to the Vice
Presidency, and by calamity, which
the Nation depl0res, to the l'resl-
dency, not by the tricks and chicanery
of politician, but by force of a chain
of circumstances over which he had
no control. Human nature is human
nature, and were James G. Blaine in
PresidentArthurs place he wouldmoVe
heaven and earth (were it possible) to
retain his hold. Yes, be would use
Federal patronage and every other
patronage to keep himself in position,
and should he be successful in his
candidacy, he will use the clever iudg-
ment, of which he is possessed, to
surround himself with men who will
be as interested in the reelection Of
Mr.. Blaine as the men are said to be
who surround Mr.. Arthur for his re-.
election, As a politician, Blaine is
away in the lead, and the less Mr..
Blaiue's admirers draw attention to
his lack of political sagacity, the
better for Blaine.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette. like

failed to convince the Blaine kepnb-
licans that without us neither Penn

party has the dead wood on us.

Blaine's Candidacy.

The active canvass which the
friends ofthe x-SecretaryofState have
made for him, has the effect of forcing
upon a man who has been standing
candidate for the Presidency for the
for the last eight years, an honor
which the friends of Mr.. Blaine claim
that he has not given by word or
sign single intlmation that he
wanted that he has been so busy
writing his book that he spared no
time to advance the excellent chances
he has for the nomination, and these
same admirers are the men first to
cry out ''let the Office seek the man.
Because Mr.. Blaine is the choice of a
large number of people who are so
independent in their political views
that they would turn over State or
the country to the Democracy # de.
feated in their wishes, is the very
reason why he will in all probability
fall short at Chicago. The Demo
cratic party deals largely in mud
singing during campaign, AID 1t is
a well.known fact that thepast record
of Mr.. Blaine will supply that party
with more Of their filthy ammunition

convention will be made up of the
younger and better educated colored
men, and that its discussions will be
directed to bringing back the Repub-
lean party to first principles or the
formation of a new organization. He
declared that the colored people had
no hope of any good from the Demo

The Law Of Lost Property.

What ought the finder Of a lost article
10 doi Most people will give ready
answer. He should do his best to dis
cover the owner and restore the lost
property to him. But this standard OF
moral duty being imperfectly recognized
by the law, it will be interesting TO
review the decisions on this subject. .
l. The finder need not take charge OF
the lost property. There is no legal
duty on him TO do it; but if he does
take il into his possession, he then be-
comes depository, and is bound to keep
it for the owner and restore it to him
when known. How long he must keep
IL. or what efforts he should make to find
the owner, have not been laid down.
2. II the finder does not restore the
property upon discovering the owner,
does he commit theft i? This depends on
whether he knew, or had reasonable
means Of knowing, who the owner was
at the time of finding. 1t has been held
that the finder Of pocketbook, having
the owners name legibly written on 1t,
is q thief if he conceals and appropriate'
the money; but il there is nothing tc
indicate the owner, he does not become
. thief in law by so doing.
3. The owner may at any time reclaim
his property, and if the finder refuses x
give it up, can recover it or the value o
| It from him. But as against any one pu
the owner the finders title is good.
4. When il . thing to be considered
a. lost? It has been said in several case
| that money or other property laid dow
and forgotten is not lost in the legal sens
of the word. The proprietor OF the shop
or bank. or place where it is left Is thu
proper person to take charge Of it. an'
those who pick up the property have n
right to keep it. On the other hand, ]
has been held that where conducto
found money In railway car, who's
owner could not be ascertained, he ha
a good title to the money.
&. Ia the finder entitled to be paid fo
his trouble and eIpense7 He need nc
take charge Of it, and it seems that II b
does 30 he must look only to the gra
itude and good feeling Of the owner fc
reward.
6. What il reward be offered? Thel
is no doubt that any one who, seeing Il
offer, sets to work to find the propert,
will, if he succeed, be entitled to Il
reward, and may even retain the pro-
: erty till it be paid. But if he alread
has the missing article in his possesslc
when the reward is offered, or has witt
held the property in the eIpectati6
that a reward would be offered, the RI
is the opposite.

WooDsTOCK, Va, "lrcu |V' i0o1'
Mr.. EDIrcR:-
Permit me through
vorr columns to express my spprecia-
ton Of the old town Of Woodstock
The chronic grumbler, who said the
town was finished years ago, has had
his mouth closed by the evidence OF
thrift which can be seen on every hand
Main Sheet has been metamorphosed'
Its shade trees and excellent pavements
have added much, while The new build
mos 10 the center Of town make one al'
most believe that 1t certainly Is not
Woodstock. New blood and new energy
seems to have been Infused into Inc
veins of our people.
There is not town in the Valley so
we'll supplied with good churches as
Woodstock. There are now five new
blick churches, all well finished, With
seating capacity greater than the de-
mands OF the population. During the
nresent season, the Lutheran congrega-
tlon will add another.
Tue people of Woods t ock. win 'neir
excellent churches, fine hotels, gOou
side walks, shaded streets and social
population, have certainly good reasons
to congratulate themselves. There Is
one thing, however, which is stigma
upon the people. The facilities Tor
educating the young are not as good as
they we're thirty years ago. Then We
had two good classical schools, last
ing ten months every year. No" we
have a graded school which lasts but
Cne hundred days, including holidayS'
scarcelv over four months. out OF twelve
Then young men could be prepared
Ct Woodstock schools for the higher
classes IN colleges; now our tacllltie'
are scarcely sufficient to prepare them
for the preparatory department OF any
especlable institution. We repeat
is a shame upon the enterprise OF on
people. We pay not less han twenty
five hut bred dollars per year 10 minis
tiers to preach TO our people, on Sun
| DAYS, and endeavnr to employ teacher
10 teach our children through the wee
for about Que thousand dollars per year
If we desire to attract population, an
business, we must have good schools
There is no reason why We should no
have the best school, in the coultyf a
Woodstock. The public fund, towl
and state, ID about one thousand del
lars. Does any sane man suppose tina
this is sufficient to furnish good schoo
facilities for nine or ten months, 10 on'
bundled aud fifty or two hundred chill
dren ? 1t is a suicidal polcv 10 attemp
il, Let US determine that our school
shall Advance equally at least with the
progress of the town in other respects
We have the means, we certainly hav'
the children, and we can have school
which will not only be tie pride OF TIT
town, but which can be made so goot
as to attract Number Of boarders, al
well as number Of families to GU
place.
Fearing that l may be imposing upor
your space, will say 10 more, at pres
enI, but if The people OF Woodstock
desire first class facilities Tor the educa
cation of their children, l will tax
pleasure 10 submitting plan, which IL
my judgment, will be useful in accom-
pllshiDg the purpose which is so mucl
to be desired. We canuOt affJrd to d.
without good school. w
