The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1893-08-17

VIRGINIA Day at the Worlds Fair
was celebrated in fitting manner,
Senator John w. Daniel being the
orator of the occasion. His effort was
mastery one and won high praise
from those who heard him, or have
read his eloquent and fervid words.
In referring to the peerless Lee, the
speaker said:
Robert Edward Lee, who in
the nineteenth century seemed to
embody every noble trait which had
distinguished the people from whom
he sprang during the struggles of we'll
nigh three hundred years. A thous-
and roses must be crushed to make
one drop Of precious ottar, but that
one drop fills the whole house with
perfect perfume. And if the thousand
conflicts of Virginia had produced no
more than the character Of this
illustrious man, they would have done
enough to fill the world with the
sweetness and glory of her nature.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1893-08-17

The Springfield Republican, a
paper of Republican proclivities but
independent principles, is not of those
that believe the present condition of
affairs is directly chargeable to and
caused by the changes in tire Admins
tration. 1t says:
The causes which have produced
the financial troubles throughout the
civilized world are not and cannot be
purely local, though there may be
contributing local influences. We
shall do we'll to remove such unfavora-
bic factors with the utmost speed
possible, but thoughtful people will
not follow the unthinking in holding
that change in the politics of the
federal administration has precipitated
our trouble. If that line of inquiry
IS to be followed it will have to be
admitted that the other fellows be-
queathed 4 condition and not theory
to be solved by the present admins
tration. "A little broader thought will
snow how the financial fabric of the
entire world is related, and how
speculation and the exploiting of
booms everywhere lead inevitably and
always to a reckoning day. Such a
time of settlement is shown by history
to be periodical, and yet each new
generation forgets all about that, and
proceeds as if the laws of the universe
were obsolete for the time.
