Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1886-11-19

The Buffalo Courier, President
CIeyeland's home organ, sums 1t
up in the following expressive SEN
tence " We have met the enemy,
and the most numerous parts OF us
are his"
AIr. Barbour slgnalizes his re-
turn to American shores by boldly
taking sides with the "active party
workers" as against ciyll-sOrvice re-
form. Henry WattersOn took Oc-
casion On his return from Europe
to do the same thing.
Roscoe COnkling, in addressing
jury recently alluded to a lying
witness who happened to have a
red nose in the following style
"Gentlemsn, l think l see the wit
ness now-his mouth stretching
across the wide desolatlon Of his
face, fountain of fall shood and
sepulchre of rum.'
Virginia voted Overwhelmingly |
at the recent elections for popular
education, for protection and for
the abolition of internal revenue
For evidence of the triumph OF
these ideas take especially the revo- |
luton in Cabells district, that in
fuckers district, that in BOwen's
district, and that in the Congress
sional district OF which Shenandoah |
county is a part.
Not altogether complimentary to
Congress is a dispatch from New
York which explains something of
the irregularity in the stock market
by remarking, Congress will meet
soon, which always has a disturb
ing influence" 1t is, nevertheless,
very true. Tinkering with the tar
I'll and discussing preposterous cur
rency bills occupy more than half
the time of the national legislature,
and result in nothing more than
disturbing the commercial and
financial markets.
Unmindful OF the wretched
fate Of the mendacious Virgins,
another alleged prophet, by name
Foster, arises In the West to pre-
dict a great storm period, extend
ing from December 4 to II, during
which will occur the most destrUc-
tive billiards and heavy SHOWS Of
recent years. Reasoning by anal
ogy, it is to be inferred that during
the fortnight indicated linen dus-
ters and palmleaf fans will be CON-
Portable.
The Philadelphia Record, which
is a thorough Democratic paper,
and a firm friend of President I
Cleveland, in its issue of yesterday &
gives the names of thirty-three t
federal officials who violated the [
Presidents order on election day by
taking a very active, and, in some
instances, an offensive part in poll /
tics. The Record gives the full I
particulars with its charges. 1t G
will be interesting to watch the re- t
suits OF these disclosures. t
Elsewhere we publish an article .
on the debt question from the Bal
tImore Sun, a paper always I'M "
friendly to Virginia on that subject. =
1t is little more kindly in tone '
than we are accustomed to read in :.
the Sun. Bat it is the same old :
cat in the same old meal tub. Vir- y
ginia is to have trustees; she is to
accept the principal of the debt as =
ascertained by the hcCulloch bill
which means an addition of thirteen :
millions for West Virginia; she is =
to fund all outstanding coupons, "
amounting to four millions, thus =
compromising interest for the fourth
time, and she is to abandon all con- .
troll over the taxation of her peo- i
pie. We shall endeavor to expose :,
the whole fraud next week. '
The movement against the de. N
struction of birds, and the use of 81
their feathers and wings and bodies p
by ladies for decorative purposes, W
is being pushed vigorously by the Ii
of the Audubon Society 81
aud its friends and imitatOrs. One
step IN the right direction has been SC
the formation of a bird protective ~
society among the Brooklyn school HI
girls, who pledge themselves to dis de
courage the use Of feathers. The tb
IDEAS instilled into them when young P'
nay last throughout their lives, =;
mi their influence upon their CON- w
,anions will, doubtless, be consider di
bile. Unless, though, the women W
# today also make a strong fight ~
or the lives of the birds, those of ar
he next generation may find few TO
'irds to protect. Some of the most nj
species are already threat TO-
ned with extinction. ~. ~,
