PROBABLY the best way to- aboI
Ish the corrupt spoils system which
degrsdes American politics would
be to reform the civil service into b
system resembling the military sys
fem of this county. Let all ap2li
cants, regardless of politics, acquire
positions by passing thorough exam
inations, and let those holding such
positions continue to hold them so
long as the service rendered by
them is faithful and efficient. Let
promotions also be made as they
are in the army. And let all who
wish have equal chances of obtain
ing positions in the civil service. 1t
is on these lines that an effort is be
ing made today by Numbers of lead
ing Americans of all political creeds
TO reform our civil service, and we
believe that every right thinking
citizen will earnestly endorse the
effort. Let rs have genuine civil
service reform, abolish the spoils
systemss and the great Augoan sta
s8sof American politics will be
sssszsssd Of afl corruption.

MIKE FOSTER, TIE BRAV
EST OF THE BRAVE.
Monroe ". Va Watchman.

Monroe W. Va. Watchman.
1t has been to great extent the
practice in naming the Confederate
camps throughout the South to cali
them after some great commander;
and We must say that it is but nasur
al and right that the ilustrious sol
diers WIN differed the Confederate
armies skonId be remem 5ered in
this way. But it is equally and
cminently just that the memory Of
The private soldiers of the Confsder
acy, whose devoted courage and
heroism have never been surpassed
IN all the annals Of history, should
also be honored. 1t was this
thought aud impulse that intiuenc-
ed the old veterans who met in
Union last Tuesday to adopt the
name of "Mike Foster" as the de-
signation of their Camp. Mike
Foster was a member of the "Mun-
roe Guards" 27rh Regimen, Stone
wall Brigade. He was son Of the
late Madison Foster and Was born
in Red Sui. District, this county.
Serving under the eye of Stonewall
jackson and in that Brigade whose
glory is as fadeless az the stars, he
speedily became famous for his in
domitab,e courage and cool daring.
The instances OF his bravery are in
Vulnerable. He was repeatedly
wounded, and it was in 1863 while
lying in the hospital in Richmond
that he was presented with laurei
wreath as the bravest and most eff
cieul private soldier in the Stone
wall Brigade sent him by General
Robert E. Lee himself. lie return
ed to his regiment as soon as his
wounds permitted and served with
his accustomed gsllantry until des-
perately wounded and captured at
H.tcher's Run, tour days before
Appomsttox. Upon learning of
his capture Gen. John B. Gordon
sent fi,g of truce into the Federal
lines with instructions to secure his
exchange and if necessary to offer
fifty Federal prisoners for him. 1t
was thus that Mike Foster WAS
brought back into the Confederate
lines. He was terribly wounded,
and died from the effects of his
wounda a year or two after the war
closed, at his home in Monroe.
This is the record of the ulagnifi-
cent soldier, i'll honor of whom this
Camp of Confederate veterans has
been named.
Mike Foster was man of gener
Gus, kindly impulses, as popular as
he was brave. He was unmarried
and none of his family are now liv
ing in the county.

STEVENSON IN 1896.


President Stevenson more and more
frequently mentioned among Dem
ocrats in Congress rs a desirable
candidate for the Presidency in
1896, for he wins friends all .he
time, right and left, by his courtesy
and kindness. For years the Office
of Vice President has been held by
men who made themselves popular
by being courteous and kind. Every
Vice President since Andrew John
son has had this reputation. Mr..
Arthur, MIR. Hendricks and Mr..
Morton were particularly thought
full and considerable of everyone
who came in contact with them,
officially or personally. 1t was
thought hiatt no one could excel
Mr.. Morton in kindliness or polite
ness when he departed, leaving
every Senator AID every employe
of the Senate his personal friend;
but really Vice Presiden. Steven
son does seem to have surpassed
him, and that, too, without having
the wealth which enabled Vice
President Morton to entertain su
generously as well rs grac;ously.
None of his immediate predeces
sors, not even the amiable and ge"i
al Arthur, had more agreeable
personality than Mr.. Stevenson,
and he has taken pains to exercise
all his admirable qualities in NIX
ing friend of every body he has
met. Although dignified in ap
pearance and manner, Vice Pres
ident Stevenson is absolutely unaf
fected and democratic. He has
never shown the slightest symptom
of what Frank Hatton used to call
"Cfiicial vertigo" that curious men
tai or moral dlsaases which enlarges
the head and effects the eyesight
aud sometimes the tongue in the
case OF mer elected or appointed TO
high Office. He is just the same
man today as Vice President of the
United States, with only one Lille
between him and the Presidency,
that he was when he came to the
Chicago convention tn 1892, not
knowing that he would De even
ment:onpd for the Vice Presidential
nomination. Strangers whe have
never me, him are natnarally more
impressed by his charming man
ners than those who have known
him for years. They go into his
room behind the Senate chamber,
perhaps little nervous at the pros
pect of meeting the Vice President
of the United States, possibly the
first they have ever seen, and they
come away SO delighted with the
man they have met that they have
almost forgotten that he is the Vice
President. He never fails to thank
stranger for honoring him with a
call, nor the friend who brings him
for giving him the privilege of see
ing him.-Philadelphia Press.
