PRO BONO P UBLlC0.

The most important editorial that
has appeared in any paper OF Shenan-
doah county tor a long time was pub
ished the HERALD OF last week.
As an aftermath of the election two
weeks ago, it hits the nail right on
the head-and squarely too. The
gravity of the situation demands ac-
ton. While people are yet discussing
the recent election, pro and con,
NAV we not find it wise to make IN
effort at once to accomplish some
good as suggested in the HrRALD's
editorial? This county has too many
good, honest conscientious people
who feel aggrieved at the present
state of affairs polit cal; now is the
time TO strike blow at the hydra
headed monster of corrupt practices
that are making our elections a farce
in this so-called free land OF ours
We must educate and act-Organze
and work-or perish miserably by
our own follies-by the dlSgraceinl
wrongs we permit, by the silence we
have far too long maintained.
Next Monday June ~, courtday,
would be n suitable time to hold a
massmeeting in Woodstock to con
slider what steps we desire TO take III
this very important matter. 1t l.
possible to get the right thinking
people of this county to work to-
gether in such a move, if only a start
is made by some one who will lead
without ALTERING. So we say, let
those interested directly arrange for
mass convention, court day. Surely
the response will not be lacking. Let
Is be patriots as well rs citizens.

The G. A. r. OF Ohio refused to
accept a wreath Of flowers from the
ex-Conlederates of Kentucky toplacC
on the graves of Union soldiers. last
week. did so for the assigned reason
that the design of the wreath con-
tanned the American flag supported
by an arm clothed in gray. This re
fusal may have been based upon
sentiment, but it is more probable
that these same people forming the
G. A. r. have a very lively recollec'
ton of how gray arms were in the
habit of castigating Them down III
Virginia, and that they are still
smarting under the blows they re-
ceived. 1t would be well to inquire
how many of that G A. r. are now
receiving p nsions. Without knowing
the facts, we venture the opinion that
Tot less than nienty-nme per cent OF
them are on the pension roll. When
ever you see such exalted demonon-
STATIONS of patriotism upon the part
Of the G. a. R.,you may be sure that
their patriotism aud pocket books
are in very close proximity. With
them the cry always is THE old flag
and an appropriations"

EDITOR HERALD

EDITOR HERALD
Twas very much gratifed
to see that the HERALD has the bold
ness to take the initiative in regard
TO the use of whiskey and money IN
our elections.
We boast of a free country, a free
ballot, and talk about our public ser
wants, as though the people were
sovereign. 1t IS all bosh. The autoc-
racy of money at election time Sways
scepter more empinous than king
or potentate, and unless crushed will
destroy our liberty.
In monarchical countries the peo-
pie are nobody, and the ofiiccholdcrs
are everybody. This country is rapid
ly drifting in that direction. It's eyi.
dent to every one that in important
elections the man who spends the
most money wins, and under pres
ent methods it is next to impossible
to obtain a true expression Of the
popular will.
The buying of votes and calling
every grog,hop into requisition TO
put men into office, is very demoraliz
ing, 10 say the least, and the sooner
the good people of Shenandoah put
an end TO it the better. 1t can be
done. Your suggestion of an as>o-
cation pledged to vote ana work
q gain>t any candidate who uses
money on whiskey to influence voters
is good one, and will be hearty
endorsed. Two hundred voters in
his county, irrespective Of party,
thus pledged, will hold balance Of
power that cnnot be ignored by any
candidate.
The HERALD is to be congratulate
ed on the stand II has taken, and we
hope it will continue to agitaie this
matter till better methods prevail.

DEMOCRACY'S FUTURE.
From The Baltimore Sum

Washington, June 1.-The condl-
,ion md the prospects of the national
Democracy are occupying considers
Lle attention thus far in advance of
the next presidential contest. The
question with patty organs is what Is
best to do. 1t would require gift OF
prophecy.no less than Divine for any
one TO forecast successfully any poll
cy or opportunity Of the Democratic
party at this iuncture of its fortunes
likely to be availed OF. The multi
plici V and the divisions gifts councils
obscure too darby the road TO vic
tory.
For many, many years, with the
exception of one or two intervals Of
reason, its numberless opportunities
have been willtully thrown away by
its leader 5. The rare exceptions en-
tail really no credit upon them, as the
results were due entirely to the ranl'
and file OF the party rising in ind.g.
nant might and passing them by. No
political parry ever had such true,
consistent. devoted. sincere. enthrsias-
TIC followers; 10 party ever SUCH I'M
worthy and incapable leaders.
In the old days 1t was a party Of
great and glorious achievements, but
how dismal, how despair-producing
its more recent record. The men
who manage its affairs have placed it
on the wrong side of nearly all the
foremost issues Of the day, and the
one or interpretations which might
be made to appeal TO popular approx
al would be promptly "coppered" by
the wise and astute men Of the other
side. There are numberless political
doctors in the party, who will be
quite ready TO pre- scribe an infinite
variety ofspecifcs, but their nostrums
Will only increase the debility under
Which the party labors.
There can be no hope tlat the
men who now control the organiza-
ton will themselves do, or permit
any one else to do, anything TO reha-
bihtatc 1t. There is ose method which
opens fair and bright, if pursued.
Should the party, by one supreme Ct
fort, cast out from their high places
those who have led, and still insist
upon leading it to defeat and destfuc-
ton, and replace them with men of
live thought and action, there would
be promise indeed.
Otherwise, unless some tremendous
political earthquake, or tidal wave,
of which at present We have not the
faintest conception, intervenes, tie
party may ju,t as well sit with folded
bands, waiting until the incapables'
whose touch Is poison and whose EN-
brace is death disappear.

last week while driving with his wife

that in Shenandoah county the cleo
tons are honestly and fairly conduct
ed.

1t has been suggested that the
corner stone of the monument 10 the
Confederate veterans be laid on the
4tb of July. We must confess that
we do not see the propnety of select
ING that day. We are ''truly loil, "
but we still think that there are so
many days made historical by victO-
rics won 10y the gallantry of Con
fcderate soldiers that we prefer a day
that is distinctly Confederate. There
has been much gush about 'clasplng
hands across the bloody chasm," but
our own opinion is that the yankee
is still a Yankee and the Johnnie Is
still Johnnie. The Confederate
need not be ashamed of the cause foi
which they fought, nor of the manner
in which they met the foe. In thes'
days when there Is such persls'eh'
effort to falsify history, to magnify
Federal victories and minimize Con
federate victories both in number anc
importance, Ii is well for the old Con
| ftderateS not to do anything 10y whlci
their children could infer that they
in anyway endorse the effort Of the
| q. A. II. to elevate themselves at
the expense Oftheir former foes. Al
far as our sentiments have any IN
fiuence, we emphatically insist .upoT
sticking to our own days. They are
sacred.
