TIE FEDERAL MARsMALsHIP
Ex-Marshai james X. Jordon, OF Pulaski
In tho Field for the Once.

- ". JOrdOn, OF Pulaski,
IN the Field for the Once
With the incoming OF the new admin
istration the matter OF Federal ap-
pointments in Virginia will excite con-
siderable interest. There is no great
number OF candidates for any one posi-.
tion and by general consent the selec.
tlon narrows down to q few whose fitness
Is unquestioned and whose claims. n
claims are to be considered, are OF
strong enough nature to Justify their
candidacy.
One of the most important Federal
offices in tho State Is the marshalship
OF the western district. For this posi-
tion no candidate has been put forward
so prominently as ex. United States
Marshal James R. Jordan, of Pulaski.
His previous appointment was dis
tinctly Cleveland appointment, but
President Harrison removed him for
partisan reasons alone, when he had
served out but half his term. 1t could
nave been for no other than partisan
reasons, for Mr.. Jordan's management
OF the office was model of its kind.
Federal witnesses were promptly paid;
the Office was economically admins
tered. and no breath OF criticism was
raised of aught, but that the office was

the commentator of his superior Of
hcers and the esteem of his deputies
and fellow officials.
Mr.. Jordan was an original Cleveland
man, and proved it by his work at
Chicago, where his wide acquaintance
ana strong influence among the South
ern delegations enabled him to swing a
score or more OF the dou btful ones in to
the Cleveland column. Then after the
nomination he come home and, so far
as an active business life permitted,
went into the campaign. really doing
double duty to aid in rolling up Vir-
ginia's splendid Democratic majority.
Mr.. Jordan is young man and hard
worker. He has not waited for the
office TO come around to him. but ever
since President Harrison fred him out
has been hard at work in active, en-.
crossing business He is strongly in.

leading citizens of Virginia 1t will
take long list OF Endorsements and
strong showing OF credentials for any
rival candidate to make as good case
as that OF James Il. Jordan

MISS CRAMSIE OF ST. PAUL, MIMI,
TO THE C. r. A. II. OF ALBANY.

~ III " l. a. ". VI AGOAN
Your report of the fourishing condi-
ton of your temperance societies is most
gratifying. Permit me to congratulate
the women especially for their devotion
to a cause which, of all others, contrib
utes to the happiness of home. As our
great Arch Bishop has wisely said:
1.-THE temperance movement can not be
an entire success until women are or
ganized into societies." They are the
central power in home influence, and to
them the children look for direction and
advice. But DO ADVICE, and no direction,
unsupported by example, can hope for a
permanent place in the child's memory.
Then every reason, human and divine,
demands that woman should be what
God intended her-the light of the home
and the guardian of its purity.
Fortunately very few women require
the pledge as safeguard, but that is one
of the very strongest reasons why they
should take it. 1t is the strong who
must help the weak. Hers are out in
world among temptations. The saloon
meets them at every corner. But with
the support of u strong temperance adj
vocatO at home, whose love and conf
dence they most dearly prize, tempta-
tons lose their power, and self-restraint
becomes easy.
Then, for the love of brothers, hus-
bands and sons, for their precious lives
and more precious souls, dear sisters go
in the grand work. Do not rest satisfied
until every woman in your neighbOrhood
is enrolled living, working member of
your society.
There is not blade of grass however
lowly, that does not cast a shadow.
There is not life, however humble, that
does not exert an influence; and, with
our love to lead us, our patience to sup
port us, and our self. sacrificing spirit to
strengthen us, we will unite against the
gigantic evil that brings ruin and DESC
lation to so many homes. What if our
firesides are secure from this blight
Are we so poor of heart, so narrow and
so selfish that the woes of Others cannot
move us? o, mol Woman's nature is
essentially kind and sympathetic, and
her hand is ever extended to relieve the
sorrowful and suffering. 1t is their very
tenderness that brings out our best
women into organized bands for the sup
preston of an evil that is the source of
nearly all the miseries that cloud our
fair land
Wishing you God speed, 1 remain
Yours earnestly,
N. l. CRANnsE,
Sd Vice-Pres't G. T. A. U. of America.
