"Blaine is rich cries the bour

Phil Mex with his two maidens,
one dark eyed and the other blaze
is making quite an impression on
some of the dudes. The first is
represented as Northern, the other
Southern. The first is educ3ted;
the other is not. Phil fOrgets to
add that the republican Senate
voted to distribute all the surplus
in the US. treasury for educational
purposes to be distributed on the
"basis Of Witeracy," which would
have given the South the largest
part of it, and the Southern bOur-
bon aristOcratS of the House, call
ing themselves democrats, scOrn-
fully refused it. Phil is advocating
the cause of the very men and
party who will keep the blue eyed
maiden and the blue eyed boy, too,
in ignorance because they want to-
hold on to the old Southern theory
of an inferior class of whites.

Honorable Competition.

Reports from our Valley fairs are
pleasing and encouraging.
Winchester had the best exhibit
ton for many years, and Staunton
excelled all her past endeavOrs.
This is an age when people will
not tolerate humbnggery. They
expect the worth Of the money Ia
ken at the gate every time they
pay il in. They also expect that
fairs will rise above the dignity OF
travelling troupe, and exhibit at
least as much as appears on the
bills.
We are gratilied to know from
general report that the Baldwin
Augusta Fair, and the Shenandoah
valley Agricultural Society gave
to the farmers, mechanics and cur
iosity seekers quite as much as they
expected.
Let us know henceforth that the
bill Of fare, ifchanged at all, must
be for the better.

Parsons and Politics.


John E. Massey, who still "steals
the livery Of Heaven to serve the
devil in' by prefxing "Rev.r to
his name has made a speech j.
Dauville endorsing the killing Of
seven people there with no indict-
ment or OF. sr process following it.
His chosen expression is 81, with
YOU, deplOie The necessity OF ad.
ministering the medicine, but never
was a dose of medicine administer
ed with better effect The poor
creature makes the mistake of Civ
ing the community away by adj
hitting that the result of the cleo
ton of last fall was the effect OF
the "medicine" of murder.
But to think that any man could
be so depraved as to pretend that
he had ever been ordained to
preach "Peace on Earth and good
will to mem should be so cOwardly
as to acquiesce in the justice OF
murder for political supremacy in
a government where no question
of personal liberty, security of pro-
perty or religious freedom is at is
sue, is to abaSe the God given fac
ulty of thought.
By the party Massey was speak
ing to, he had been called ga cur
a "canting hypOcrite," a "mangy
liar" and such like pet names, and
