GOV, LEES ADDRESS.

Governor of Virginia, to whom had been
assigned the duty Of delivering the ad.
dress of the occasion:
Gov. Lee, who was hailed with great ap-
nlonse said that as he looked on this splendid
scene and saw this grand gathering of brave
men and true women, the strings OF his heart
were touched and his memory wandered back
to days when the green hills of this Valley
were crowned with artillery and musketry
roared from the vale below. To-day the pic
ture was different. and we were assembled In
peace to unveil monument which stood IN
attestation of great deeds performed by the

Is that all? Was Duty naught?
Love, and Faith made blind with tears?
What the IL ssons that they taught?
What the glory that they caught
From the onward sweeping years?
Here are they who marched away
Followed by our hopes and fears;
Nobler never went than they
TO bIoodier, lnadder fray,
In the lapse of all the years.
Garlands still shall wreathe the swords
That they drew amid our cheers;
Children's lisplngs. womens words,
Sunshine, and the songs OF birds
Greet them here through ali the years.
With them ever shall abide
All our love and all our prayers.
"What of them ?" The battles tide
= Hath not scathed tho m. Lo! they ride
y Still with Stuart down the ears.
"Where are they who went away
Sped with smiles that changed to tears?"
Lee vet leads the lines Of gray
Stonewail still rides down this way:
They are Fame's through all the years!

THE TARIFF TAX.
Col. Beirne teen took up the tariff tax.
People complained of hard times! How
could they help having hard times when
the COVE nment taxed them to death. The
took the stamps off of checksI Qaughter)
and the tax off incomes both for the ben
eft of the millionaires, and they left the
tax stay on the people. (Applause.) AS for
himself he would frankly say he was not in
favor of Protection of any kind. He favor
ed no system by which my money is taken
| and given to another man that he may
get money enough to buy the fruits
of my labor" He did not favor even in
| cidental protection, and thought Tariff for
Revenue only with incidental protection
was as much contradiction of terms as
Infdellty with incidental Christianity
| Laughter But those OF his way of
thinking had made compromise and the
Democratic party had off.red the Mills
| Bill as the result of that compromise. lie
thought the bill gave too much protection,
but it, at least, lowered the tax on the
people and be was glad to get it.
Col. Beirne went on to illustrate the
heavy tax paid by the people under the
High Tariff exactions. for 1t was a tax
and nothing but a tax. If an article can
be bought elsewhere at a dollar and you
put on so cents tariff to keep it from being
bought elsewhere, then that SO cents is a
tax. Under this sort of tax the American
people had paid to thu protected manufac-
turers and the government $50 600 900.

- MI. llouse is making so
many claims for his perfection of
the educational system of this
county, we consider that the records
Of his Office need little perfecting.
One of the candidates was unable
to secure a list of school officers from
the superintendent last Saturday.
10 us it suggests that his records
were in hard shape since he cannot
furnish such data as was asked for.
OF all others the county superintcn-
dent should be familiar with every
school official in the county. Sup
pose our other county records were
in the same state, what would be
thought of our county officials. And
yet Mr.. House had no difficulty in
mailing those Moulton circulars to
every school official in the county.
The facts on the face of the matter
indicate that Mr.. House has no sys-
tenn of keeping records.-otller than
will serve him IN retaining the office,
whether the public service rendered
is adequate or not.

In another place in to-day's na-

In another place in to-day's pa
per will be found Prof. Muggley's
withdrawal from the field as a can
didate for county school superin-
tendent, and the same is done at an
opportune time, in a manly and
candid fashion, in favor of Prof.
Crocker. Mr.. Mugglcy was very
sincere in his desires to gain the su-
perlntendeney. feeling that he
would in various ways benefit him
self, and at the same time give the
couty a first.clas management of
its public schools, but things taking
such u turn as rendered the defeat
of Mr.. House moro than doubtful
and consequently the prospect for
reform lesscned, Mr., Muggley does
the courageous thing in surrender
ing his personal interests in the
contest to the better feature of the
public wants, and will be accorded
due credit therefor. And he now
asks his friends, one and all, to
turn their attention to Prof. Crocker
and give him an election.

THOSE "UNSOLICITED" NAMES.
The Gazette puts itself in an
awkward position, to say tho least,
in preceding Supt. Houses Gin
dorsemcnt," Signed by some 140 men
of the county with statement that
the thing was "entircly unsolicited
by Mr.. House," when every man in
the double column knows that his
name was solicited to the document
and that the latter was in no sense
or case prepared by any one Of them,
but on the contrary printed and sent
them through the mails under blind
for their signatures, which facts are
not only we'll known to Mr.. Morrill,,
but the latter knows that Mr.. House
has never denied that he wrote his
own endorsement" proper, and
was to the trouble of securing the
names and paying all expense in the
premises. And VIC submit that The
Gazette docs foolish and dishonest
thing in thus trying to uphold
the trickcry of man who of all Of
licials should be honorable and can
did in all transactions before the
public and rising generation in par
ticuiar.
THE TIMES has explained the meth
cd pursued by Mr.. House in this
matter, and think it is shame that a
newspaper would aid through selfish
purposes the preparation of that
sort of fraud on the public at the
expense of candidates vastly his
superior.
But now since Prof. Muggley has
withdrawn in favor of Prof. Crockcr,
give your support to the latter, and
secure good and economical manage
'mcnt of the schools of the county in
the future.

Uiark Comstock has furnished

We have been down to see the let
ter it is said Mrs. Michael Dohm has
from Texas, telling her that her
husband was lynched there recently
for horse stealing but the lady not
being at home we did not see the
letter. Its genuihess is doubted
by men who know Mikes methods
and yet that's what "the likes
o. him" might encounter, in that
country.
Mrs. M. II. Eaton has very
handsome Gala lily, the flower
measuring "a inches in length. We
understand that the largest on
record so far was produced in Mich
igan and measured % inches, so it
would seem that Mrs. Eaton is at
the top Of the list in the production
of this superb flower. Its a cold
day, indeed, when Dakota gets left.
Mrs. Laura G. Fixen will lecture
on temperance week from Sunday,

sofa, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Canada,
Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri, Ken
lucky, Iowa, Colorado, New York,
Illinois and Michigan, and it is said
that her addresses are replete with
wit, eloquence and pathos.

Bismarck Tribune The reading
of "The Blue and the Gray" by Mrs.
Judge Francis, was one of the in
teresting features of the Decoration
day exercises at the Presbyterian
church yesterday, and those who
were familiar with the beautiful
poem noticed the reading of an ad-
ditional verse. This was an origi-
nal production from Judge Francis
and its rythm and sentiment GER
tainly commends it as a choice piece
of literary addendum
When the sound Of the trumpet solemn,
Shall summon the world into line,
And our soldiers in mighty column.
Shall 'front face'' the Glory divine;
Then by the Good and the True,
At the great judgment day,
Mercy and peace for the Blue;
Mercy and peace for the Gray.
