STAUNTON'S FUTURE.

Several articles have recently appeared
In the Rockingham Register noting
the fact that considerable portion of the
trade from Highland county is being divert
ton to Harrisonburg. Our contemporary
'-seee..--c-=Peaks OF the growing trade between
Pendleton county and the latter town, but
Staunton's business relations with this
county have not been half so large as with
our neighbor just over the western noun
tains. We appreciate the desire of our
sister town to secure for itself the trade
with these two counties. Shut in On all
sides by lofty mountains and without rail-
road facilities of any kind, Highland and
Pendleton have been forced from
their organization as counties to come
over into the Valley for purposes of trade
with the outside world.
From time immemorial Stanton has
been the outlet and market for Highlands
products, and with it's people our mer-
chants have always driven a lucrative
trade. In the present condition of affairs
Stanton cannot afford to lose single
trade tributary. Our streets are lined with
splendid store-rooms of every kind, but
they will be valueles piles of brick and
mortar if the city's trade with outside
communities is allowed to languish and
perish.
We sound this note of warning to
Stanton merchants because Harrison
burg is evidently dead in earnest to secure
the Highland trade, and we should make
1t to the advantage of Highland
people to continue their trade
with Staunton. Profits are short
and business dull it is true, but
short profits are certainly preferable to
no profits and no business at all. We
have now reached that point in our history
when the county-seat of Augusta can no
longer depend on the county alone for its
entire business support; we must reach
out and draw to US new fields of enter
prise, and it is our imperative duty to
bold the territory already in our grasp.
The attention Of the Chamber of Com
merce is called to the danger threatening
cur territory on the West. Let the intel
ligent business men who compose that
body see that Highlands trade is not
taken from us without an effort made to
save it.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE. 4. i
A PLAIN DUTY.

Now that the smoke of the stubborn
conflict for our municipal Offices has clear
ed away it is the imperative duty of every
Democrat, Primary and Anti-Prlmary, to
look the situation squarely in the face and
to take steps for an immediate and COM
plete reorganization of the Democratic
party in the city Of Staunton.
With the causes which led to the defeat
of the Primary ticket in the main we now
have nothing to do, except to express re-
greet that so many tried and faithful
workers in former contests, saw fit to
place themselves outside the party Or
ganization in this election. Having, how
ever, seen fit to pursue such course we
can only counsel harmony and concilia-
tion between the two wings of the Demo-
cratic party. If the Anti Primary Demo-
Gratis had any real or fancied grievances to
redress, they will soon be righted by the
new regime which comes into power on
the first of July. We sincerely trust and
believe that the new City Fathers will do
nothing to set back the prosperity and ad-
vancement of Staunton, for. after all, gov
eminent is intended and designed to pro-
mote the general welfare of all classes,
and that which weighs heavily upon one
portion of the community will sooner or
later injuriously affect the whole CON-
munity.
To the Primary Democrats we have
only to say that, having done your duty as
you saw it, it is idle folly to indulge in
useless repinings and harsh criticisms of
those who successfully opposed syoa. Give
the new council fair trial and judge
their intentions and mistakes by their
acts and not by the rumors of the street.
Ten-twelfths of the incoming council are
men who have never voted any but q
Democratic ticket, and we can safely ex-
pect from them not only conservative
but a Democratic Administration to the
core.
This paper did it's best to elect tie Pri-
mary ticket and would do so again under
similar circumstances; but the harmony
and integrity of the Democratic party are
of paramount Importance to US. and we

of battle and do his best to end every
lingering feud inside the party ranks.
Let it not be proclaimed and exulted
over that Staunton is no longer Demo-
cratic city; she is Democratic to-day and
will 80 remain until causes that do not
now exist arise to sever her from the
party which has SO long held the reins OF
city government.

Closing Exercises of the City Public
Schools.

Reported for the Staunton VINDloAroR. !
WHITE SCHOOLS.
On last Friday in the Institute Building,
there were collected into one large room
specimens Of all kinds of school-room
work, executed by the pupils of the City
Public Schools.
This exhibition, which was open to the
public, and which was largely attended
by visitors, proves that the positions held
by our city public school teachers are not
s1necures, but that great amount of:
hard work of most practical and high
order has been done by them during the
past session. This exhibition rejects
much credit upon the teachers and pupils
of our public schools.
The copy-books from all the grades,
Primary. Grammar and High school, the
compositions. maps and numerous exami-
nation papers from the grammar grades:
the diagrams, charts, translations, &C.,
from the High school, all bore the appear
ance of great neatness, care and accuracy.
The artistic arrangement of all this
work exhibited great taste on the part of
the teachers. So many Of the pupils are
worthy of special mention in connection
with their contributions that we cannot
attempt to enumerate them.

guished themselves during the session by

MR.. GARLAND's DILEMMA.

No other person in Wash ington has been so
torn up in his or her mind over this event az
Attorney General Garland. 1t is we'll known
that years ago he vowed mighty VOW that
he would never-not "hardly ever" but never,
without any qualification or mental reserve
ton whatsoever-array himself in 'fclaw-
hammer" coat, such as custom demands must
He has strictly kept his vow since he has
been in Washington, and has declined with
thanks all invitations to the White House and
elsewhere. In fact the impression prevails that
his Ideas on this subject amount to "cranki-
ness" He felt that as one of the Cabinet he
s'swallow-tail" was ever before him. He final
ly determined to stand by his colors and the
President had to get married without the
presence of his legal adviser.
Mrs. Cleveland is % and the President 40.
1t is considered to be Glove match" on both
Sides The daughter of his intimate friend,
Mr.. Cleveland used to hold her on his knee
when she was child in pinafores, and he can
keep right along doing it now. He has been
her guardian since Oscar Folsom's DEATH now
he is her husband. She is bright, intelligent,
pretty and in every way winning. 1t goes
without saying that she will be most
WARMLY AND CORDIALLY WELCOMED
in Washington society, of which she will be
the recognized leader. The hearty satisfac-
ton with which the Presidents marriage is
hailed by the people at large abundantly at
tested by multitude of presents from all
quarters, and hundreds of congratulatory let
tiers and kilograms that have kept the express
and telegraph messengers busy during the
past two or three days. It is understood that
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland have not matured
their plans for the summer. 1t is probable
that after few quiet days at the White House
they will go away for a week on brief tour.
After the purpose of the President to be
married became matter of general belief,
Prof. Sousa, leader of the Marine Band, com
posed piece of music in honor of the nup-
tails. The members of the band had Just
fairly begun to practice it when the official
bulletin was made public. The suddenness
| of the announcement and the shortness of the
time well nigh staggered them, but they
buckled in and have been almost blowing
their heads off to get the music learned They
played it last night.

till the next morning, about the time when
people were reading the news in all parts of
the country. Immediately society resolved
itself into committee of the whole to find
out all about it. It was soon learned that
the wedding would be quiet affair, owing
to the resent death of the BRIDES grandfather.
But few persons were to be invited, including
only the members of the Cabinet and their
wives, and afew family friends of the bride
and groom. Not more than twenty five
guests would be hidden, while there were
twenty-five thousand who wanted to be.
On Sunday the President, accompanied by
Secretaries Whitney and Lamar and Postmas-
ter General Villas, went to New York on a
two fold errand-to greet his afiancied and
to lend his presence to the Decoration Day

to receive them. He hurried them into
close carriage and they were whisked off to
the White House.
The decorations of the s'Blue Room" in
which the ceremony took place, and the
family dining-room, where the banquet was
spread, were exceedingly elaborate and beau
tiful-the finest ever seen in Washington
The White House conservatory and the Botan-
lcal Gardens are gorgeous with the fresh bloom
of spring, and these were literally drawn
upon for flowers, whose brilliant hues graced
the scene and the fragrance of which filled
the air.
The ceremony was simple, according to the
forms of the Presbyterian church. Except
in the surrounding, and the exalted station of
the groom, it did not differ from ten thousand
other weddings With clasped hands they
plighted their troth and the minister pro
nounced them man and wife. The President
was no longer bachelor and the White House
had mistress.

only necessary on such occasions to pick up
few stray bits of information here and there.
Whether truth enters largely as factor is of
no consequence. An active and we'll devel-
oped imagination easily supplies all else need
full. The members of the Cabinet, as soon as
they left the White House, were almost rent
limb from limb by the newspaper people,
ravenous for news They wished they had
never been born. 1t would have been better
for their peace of mind if the President had
provided sufficient number of ''shakedowns'
and had his guests spend the night at the
White House; taking the further precaution
to cut the telephone wires and unite the dog,
to keep the reporters from climbing in at the
windows or scaling the walls and dropping
down the chimneys

A Pointer for Tailors.

Young James Blank, whose father is among
the millionaires, lounged into IA tailor shol
some weeks ago and ordered a suit of clothes
The suit was sent to the young mans hotel
but of course the tailor got no money for it
A few days ago as Master James was passing
by the tailor shop the bland proprietor hailet
him with a smile:
"Why, Master James" he said, that coat
is horribly wrinkled come in and we will
press it for you" Unsuspectingly he entered
and surrendered the coat. Then something
was wrong with the vest, and that too was
taken down stairs for treatment. The tailor
next declared that the trousers might be i'm.
proved upon. They were given up and the
youth accommodated with seat in the dress
ing room.
"Now," said the willy tailor, "you will have
to send a messenger boy to your room for
your other clothes, for am afraid we cannot
let you have this suit again unless you liqui-
date the bill in full"
Young Master James begged hard for his
clothes, but the tailor was memorable, and
much to his disgust he resumed his winter
garments and departed Francisco Post.
