THE nEATIs or \ NOZZLE MAN.
IS Virginia mourns the death of eX-Gov.
Kemper. His was splendid charac.
Ser. He was truly noble mau, un.
selfish, patriotic, true to his convlc-
tionr, the embodiment Of honor lie
leaves the record of life without blot
or blemisb. Well had he served Vir
Rinia and forever will the meme of
James l.. kemper stand high upon the
roll of her much honored sons.
In every station of life he was called
upon to occupy he was faithful to duty.
AS soldier he was super b--Indeed he
was heroic in the full acceptance of the
word. As colonel Of the Seventh Vir.
ginia he distinguished himself at the
battle OF Williamsburg. and MS brigade
general he won imperishablo fame
mt Seven Pines, Second Manassas,
South Mountain, Sharpsburg, Marye's
Heights and at Gettysburg, where
"ttAousaui fell where Kenper led"
Here it was that he was desperately
wounded, from the effects OF hich he
never recovered, and which rendered
his life forever afterwards, one of in.
tense pain aud suffering, ending in his
death at his home in Orange Sun
day.
After the war he was called upon to
I'LL high positions of trust. He was
elected Governor OF Virginia in 1873.
His administration was most remark.
able one. He met every issue of those
troublous days in square, honest
manner. He never swerved from WIN.
he considered right, as was notably
shown in his veto of the Petersburg
bill--which at that time rem dered him
very unpopular. Since then the wisdom
OF his course in this matter has been
recognized. He could have,been elected
United States Senator, but he
refused the use of his name for that
high honor, and he retired to private
station with the respect md esteem of
every unprejudiced person. His ply
steal conditlon-torture from pain
prevented him afterwards from taking
an active part in political matters. He
was, however. keenly alive to every
thing connected with the welfare and
advancement OF Virginia, and from his
he'd OF suffering he viewed TRANSFERRING
events with keen and deep concern,
Death las claimed this incorruutible
man and over his grave Virginia sheds
her tears of sorrow, ior 10 her lie was
indeed true nnd faithful son.
sLANbEisiNG THE PEEsInENr.
1t is but natural that President
Cleveland should feel indignant over
the SANDER uttered against him by The
Rey. DR.. Lansing at Salem, Mnss.. q
lew days since, but it may be said that
1T wonld have been better had he per
mitted u assault to pass by unnoticed.
The Rev. MIR, Lansing was no doubt
seeking notoriety. and by noticing bis
sianderous utterance MIR. Cleveland
has only given him the prominence he
no doubt was seeking. 1t j. serious
Shipg to assail the reputation of the
president of the United States, and
when done 1t is an affront to the whole
people.
Ihe exalted position of the Chief
sAaglsiery of the country should be free
gm the venomous shafts of scandal
