THE WAKEFIELD BURYINC
GROUND.

A letter from Comorn, King George
County, to the Richmond Dispatch
says: The impression prevailing in
many parts OF the country that nothing
remains TO mark the location of the
old Washington burial ground atWake-
field, the birthplace of the first Presi-
dent, iu Westmoreland county, is er-
roneouS. Ii is true that the spot,
which should be held as sacred treas.
ure, has not received the tender care
aud attention it deserved, and it may
be true taat 10 strangers the gronnd
has a 'desecrated" appearance, &c,
but for such unpardonable neglect, the
national aovernmeD, which owes
mucn oiits boosted greatness, ana TN
everlasting debt of gratitude 10 the
man VINO made Wakefield and Mount
Vernon famous, is TO blame, and not
private individuals, into whose hands
the old pIau ari01 has fallen in recent
ybHrs.
As tar 9s il is known, the old burial
ground at Wakefield contains graves
of Uut ,wo members OF the Washington
family, aud these are marked with
neod-stouea, now grey with age,
mess covered, and somewhat
dAfaCed and crumolng from
long neglect. Close by them stand
40 taIi, venerable trees, which nave
survived the gales OF many winters and
def4d the hercest storms OF summers,
IS # spared 10 keep silent watch and
warn visitors TO The historic birth
place" that be who approaches them
treads upon hallowed ground. Cor
rodiug time, moss and dirt have done
.ner cruel work so well that the in
scripti5us on the two tombstones are
we'll nigh obliterated, SO that the let
,evs mast be traced with penknife or
other pointed instrument in order to
render them readable. One OF them
bears testimony that John Washington,
eldest son of Lawrence Washington,
was buried there in January, 1890, and
that he died when ia the 10Th year OF
his age. Some suppose that this John
Washington" was the namesake
(nsmed afier) his fathers brother, who
came TO this country some time (prob-
ably the mjddle) in the seventeenth
century. On The other stone can be
raced these words: Here lies the
BODY OF James augustine Washington,
of P0pe's Greek, Va, who died in
1929" s number of other names are
On this stone, supposedly a partial ilsi
oi persons related to the de-
ceased, ont they are not easily
deciDheraole. The belief that moth
ing remains to indicate the location
of :hese Washington graves has proba"
NV grown cut of the fact that Mount
Vernon, Wakeield's famous rival, is so
inseparebly associated with the name
OF ouc country's first President that the
aorored old birthplace has had to take
a lack seat in the public mind, and, to
q great extent, be almost consigned to
oblivion by an iuexcusable neglect OF the
national government until recent years
the closing decade of this century
when a wharf and monument were erect
cd there. Since then the tomb has been
made famous the world over, but little is
thought and known OF the birthplace,
especially by the rising generation. An
able writer said several years ago that
when visitors TO the tomb at Mount
Vernon ask where George Washington
vas born. they usually receive this
answer: "Oh down the river, some
where"

CONGRATULATIONS TO KANSAS.

The inaugural address of Governor STAN
ley, of Kansas. is full of hope, of joy, Of
brightness. of promise. Such an address is
peculiarly appropriate for a people who are
parting with a government of calamity, of
incapacity. of corruption and scandal. and
ushering in a government which there is
every reason TO believe will be the reverse
of all these things. Kansas will be sincere
ly and heartily congratulated all over this
nation upon her happy change. Tn fact
that her burden was self-imposed does not
lessen the obligation to rejoice with her
people in their deliverance. Kansas may do
more experimenting In the future with poll
tics and parties. but IT is reasonably safe
to say that her experience with Populism
will last her a long. long time. This will
become more and more apparent as. the
Kansas people see from Governor Stanley's
administration how much superior In every
essential respec: Republican rule is to ca

in vogue under American rule. The promises
of commercial freedom and personal liberty
in themselves are such an advancement
over the conditions imposed by the Spanish

should be welcomed; but when to these in
estimable boons is added that of native
p~redominance in the colonial government
so soon as the self-governing qualities or
the natives shall be made apparent. the
prospect of improved conditions for the
Filipinos could not possibly be brighter. Yet
the specious representations of Aguinaldo
and his l~ieutenants. and the misconstruc-
tons of certain Americans who must and
do know better, are calculated TO becloud
the real significance and purpose of Amer
lean government in the Philippines.
