For THE HERALD.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Ast the time is draw
ing nigh for the election of County
| Superintendent of Public Schools,
beg leave to call the attention of the
public to few suggestive thoughts.
AS the success of any organized body
or system depends mainly upon its
chief managers, so that Of the school
depends chiefly upon the teacher, and
his success, very much upon the SUI
perintendent, who manages the sys-
tenn. The person selected for such a
position, should be not only thorough
ly qualified to give instruction in the
branches to be taught, but one. who
has been tested by ample experience
in teaching. He should be a person
not only of high moral standing, but
one who is conscientious, faithful and
Jealous in the discharge of his duties.
Such person, in my humble opinion,
may be found in David HI. Dodd. In
filling out the unexpired term of Mr..
Bowen, he has, save the brief period
of his illness, given unremitting at
tention to the advancement Of the
schools, and Improvement of teachers
under his charge. He has done even
more than the law requires of him, by
holding district examinations, and in
commencing the organization of dis
trict teachers institutes. His con-
tinuanee in the Office would enable
him to carry out his work so nobly
begun. Hence firmly believe it will
be wisdom on the part of the citizens
of Berkeley County to give Mr.. Dodd
our hearty Support.
A FRIEND OF PRIMARY SCHOOL Ed
UCATION.

The Louisville Courier-Joarnal,
one of the ablest free trade support.
ers under the Cleveland administra.
ton, compliments PresIden Harrison
upon the fitness of his appointments.
1t says p
The nomination OF Robert Il. Lin
coin as minister to England is at
once a surprise and a ten strike.
Taken in connection with the selec-
ton of Fred Grant for Vienna, 1T
conveys an appeal to the young Re.
publicanism of the period, which
cannot fail to have its effect. Both
these sons of illustrious sires are
American gentlemen without re-
proacb, and fully qualified, person
ally and officially, to represent the
country handsomely and adequately
in the Old World.
In bringing the journalism of the
party to the front and stimulating
that important branch of party SER
vice, the President shows both wis
dom and sagacity. No better min
lister to France could have been
found in any walk of life than
Whitelaw Reid, and no filter consul
general to London than John G.
New. Now we have Murat Halstead
to Germany, and Thorndyke Rice to
Russia. Mr.. Rice is the editor of
the North american Reuieao, man
of many accomplishments and large
fortune, whose knowledge of Euro
pean life and affairs is very great
and has not been obtained by the
sacrifice of Americanism. The Sc
lection of Mr.. Halstead for Berlin is
a particularly happy one. He is al
ready we'll known to the Germans.
In the Franco-German war he was
the companion and guest of Won
Moltke, met the great chancellor ia.
miliarly and often, and viii be no
stranger to the court to which he is
accredited. He is personally both a
handsome and brilliant man, and
will appear nowhere without dis.
tinction.
The rest of the appointments are
all in the same line, particularly that
of Patrick Egan, which at this mo.
ment must be very gratifying to the
Irish on both sides of the water.

The latest romance about Alex
ander, late of Bulgaria, is that while
he was being king there he was al
ways attended by tall and hand
some jaeger, who rever left him for a
moment and who on several occa
sions interposed between him and
danger at great personal risk. At
night the jaeger slept in the anteroom
of the royal chamber, and at least
one plot to assassinate the Prince is
said to have been thus frustrated
After the Prince left Bulgaria the
jaeger disappeared, and it has since
been discovered that the person was
woman, who was desperately IN
love with the Prince and had sworn
to protect him.

1uon District. Arr I'd. y

IfPatriek Ford, of the Irish World,
asks nothing more than the appoint
ment Of his friend and CO worker in
the Irish cause, Patrick Egan,-he
is certainly not asking any more
than what was due Mr.. Egan him
self as one of the ablest IRISH
American representatives in the Re-
publican party. His appointment,
too, comes without all the din and
subsequent political racket raised
by the appointment of A. M. Kelly
under Cleveland. 70
But Mr.. Ford has stronger claims
than all that, and the Republican
administration should be willing to
give them favorable consideration.
The Irish World was one of the
ablest and most original defenders
of the principles of Protection and
fought off and exposed the foreign
free trade influence more than any
other power or force in the campaign.
For the enemies he made and the
oppression he drew upon himself
from the standing lights of liberty
in religion and politics of his own
nationality, his friends all over the
country expect some public express
sion in favor of his merits and APP
probation of his services from the
Republican party. More Irish Amer
leans voted the Republican ticket in
the two last campaigns than ever
did before. 1t was such men as Pat
rick Ford and Patrick Egan who
braved the considered disgrace of
Irish.Americans voting and work
ing for Republican men and princi-
Piles. They and the race hereafter
will vote as American citizens,-i. e.,
as they please,-and it is as such
they should be honored.

THE RECOGNITION OF THE PRESS.

The Staunton Valley Hir9inian
feels encouraged over the appoint
of Hon. j. s. Clarkson as Assistant
Postmaster General, and expresses
itself strongly in favor of the press
receiving its dues =
Newspaper men generally, and es.
pecially Republican editors, will APP
preciate the compliment implied in
this selection. Others are given
more prominent recognition, but no
class of men contribute so largely to
party success and to the shaping of
party policy as newspaper men. The
work is not alone for the few months
of a campaign. 1t is year in and
year out. They are constantly mold
ing public policy and impressing the
public mind, paving the way for the
line of action for the disciplined
forces when the time comes for the
great contest. They not only mold
public opinion, but they make and
unmake public men; sustain them
in the strifes OF political warfare,
defend, them against mendacious
assaults, and present their claims to
public confidence and recognition,
cleansed from the smirch and the
mire of political opponents.
1t is too frequently the case that
the heroes of the hour and the for
Inmates in hOnors conferred are the
active workers in the heat of a brief
campaign, while the laborious toiIers,
through all seasons and in all con.
ditions are solaced with passing
compliment, or patronizing, pity
ing glance. The editors SOW and
cultivate the seed, and the polite.
ians reap the harvest.
If the editors OF the country would
assert their power, and demand
proper recognition, they would be
very apt to get what they asked for
or know the reason why. They are
the sentinels on the political watch
tower, the force that moves to action
and achieves success, and without
their earnest, persistent and self
sacrificing la5ors, victory would new.
er come.
The press ought to be represented
in the Cabinet. Failing in that, it
ought to be generously recognized
in the higher appointments, both in
the civil and diplomatic list, under
an administration that owes it sue
cess more to the press than all the
orators and stump.speakers in the
land.

Undeservedly Laughed At

The unthinking are prone to make game of
nervousness. Yet this is very real and seri-
GUS affiiction, the harassing symptoms of
which are rendered all the more poignant by
ridicule. The stomach is usually responsible
for these symptoms-its weakness and dis
order find reflex in the brain, which is the
headquarters of the nervous system. AS o
nerve tonic and tranqnilizer. we believe that
not one can be pointed out SO effective as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. In renewing
vigorous digestion, it strikes the key note of
recovery of strength and quietude by the
nerves. Headaches, tremors in quiet sleep,
abnormal sensitiveness to unexpected noises
ali these modify and ultimately disappear
as the system gains strength from the great
tonic. Dyspepsia, billlOusness, rheumatism,
constipation and kidney complaints are sub
dued by the Bitters.
