The President in the Valley.

President Mckinley and his wife
and a party of friends made a leisure
ly Journey through the Shenandoah
Valley from Staunton to Harper's Fer
nv last Saturday. They greatly en-
ioyed the the trip through the section
so rich in beautiful scenery and points
of historic interest. Thirty-fve years
agoMr. Mckinley ,as assistant adjutant-
general on the staff of General Crook,
marched through this same valley,
participating in the heavy fighting
which occurred during Sheridan raid.
Though the citizens of the various
towns through which the Presidents
train passed had but little warning OF
the coming of the distinguished party,
the roadways and stations were lined
with people anxious to catch a glimpse
of the chief executive of the nation and
to grasp his hand when brief stops
were made.
The first point where stop of any
length was made was Harrisonburg,
Va, where a large crowd awaited the
arrival of the presidential train. The
President, unable to withstand the i'm
portuuities of the local committee
which waited upon him, left the car,
and, accompanied by the gentlemen Of
the party, drove to the courthouse
square. Here he was introduced by
Gen. John Z. Roller in briet speech.
President Mckinley responded as fol-
lows.
Fellow Citizens | am glad to look
upon YOUR beautiful valley once more,
one of the richest and most attractive
in our great country. 1t is rich herl-
tage YOU possess and enjoy. | heartily
Join with your speaker in congratuIa-
lions upon a reunited country. We are
now happily one in purpose and one In
patriotism. | congratulate you upon
the evidences of prosperity that | see al
every hand. 1t is Il common prosperity,
participated in by both the North and
the South. 1t now rests upon us and
those who follow us TO see 10 II that this
union of States, esta bliShed by the fathers
representing liberty and justice, repre-
senting the highest opportunities and
blessings. shall not perish from the earth.
| thank you and bid you goodbye.
At Winchester a protracted stop
was made. The Presidential party
drove through the town and stopped
at the present Masonic Hall, about
block beyond the humble house, now
occupied as barber shop, in which
the President was initiated into the
Masonic order. Many historic dwell
iugs were pointed out, including the
headquarters of General Washington
during the revolutionary war, and
General Sheridan at the time Of his
raid through the valley. The recep-
ton here was most enthusiastic. The
train stopped at Cedar Greek near the
old mill, which the battle there made
famous. "This ground looks familiar,
said the President, "and there s the
old mill, too. The Sixth Corps was
encamped along the road there, and
over here Sheridan had his headquar-
tiers. They drove us across this creek
pellmell and then We came back and
took our old grounds
The Presidential party reached
Washington safely at $50 p. m. The
President has been much benefited by
his ten days at Virginia Hot Springs.

Postage to be Reduced TO One Cent.

The enormous increase in the number
of letters carried in the I. ). mails
makes ii ceYtain that the rate of postage
must eventually be reduced to one cent
an ounce. The President who succeeds
in getting such a measure through Con-
gresS will hold high place in the es-
TEEN of the people, but no higher than
the esteem in which everybody holds

For some time past the REGISTER

those needing it most, and last week

THINGS do not look 50 rosy in the
Philippines just now. During the
past week or two there seemed to be in
dications that Filipinos were about
ready to surrender, and commissioners
from Aguinaldo were expected to ar
range treaty Of peace. The latest
reports, however, are to the effect that
the peace commissioners are dissati.-
fed with the terms offered them, and
they will hold out against the Ameri-
cans. The rainy season is now about
to set in, and military operations must
soon cease.

for the Senate. The probability is
that if Mr.. Alger doesn't back down

In Memory of VIM. n. Travers.

In pursuance of resolution adopted
March 30. 1899. a memorial service in
honor of the late VIM. H. Travers was
held in Charlestown last Wednesday,
Nav 18th. The following resolutions
were reported and spread upon the rec
ords of the court:
Whereas, In the providence OF God our dis
tinguished brother at the Bar, William ii.
Travers, has been suddenly called from labor
unto rest and has passed over the river TO
rest under the shade OF the trees,
Now bowling with paten submission TO
the will of the Divine Ruler. but deeply sem
sible OF our severed association and under the
Immediate shadow OF his death, desiring in
dividually and collectively to offer an hum
BILE tribute TO his memory; therefore, De u
resolved by the survivors OF the Bar ofJefier-
son county, OF which he was so long a con-
spicuous member, as follows:
That by his death his family have been be-
reaved OF devoted husband and father, our
community of an honored citizen, our STATE
OF a wise and trusted counselor, and our pro-
fession OF an able and learned member OF I'M
spotted integrity and unimpeachaole honor !;
That his whole LIE was a lesson 10 others
of the value OF industry, diligence, perseNer-
ance and lofty endeavor for intellectual
power and requirement;
That throughout his career In the most
conSpicuous degree did he eXemplify In
thought and deed those exalted quantities
which should characterize the true advocate
and counselor.
He taught that law was profession, not
trade, an intellectual pursuit not a CONNER
cial undertaking, and with untiring viii and
unabating energy he addressed himself 10
master its great principles.
Gentle by nature, studious in habit, urbane
always lie so loved the amenities OF life and
the courIesies and dignities OF his CHOSEN
profession that his name In time became
among his associates the synonym for that
of Gentleman.
Respected for his learning, beloved for his
kindness and courtesy, trusted for MS lnteg-
ritv in life, in death the good name lie leaves
behind and the memory of his noble and
generous characteristics are lights to guide
the footsteps of his associates toward that
higher attainment he had reach ed, and TO
INSPIRE Them with the steady purpose 10
guarC with Jealous care the privileges Dig
mites and amenities OF the learned Profess
sion of Law.

An exchange says that no mercy
need be shown by our soldiers to the
FiIipinos, who are charged with COM
hitting the most barbarous atrocities,
one of their crimes, it is alleged, being
the incubation Of American prisoners
with blood taken from lepers. We
doubt this yarn, but if it IS so it Is a
very strong argument against annexa-
ton. Who wants such persons as cit
liens of the United States?

1t is very fortunate that we
had a man of General Woods
nerve and Judgment for governor
Of Santiago, since great deal
depends upon the way we begin
in our reformation in Cuba. One
Of his first acts was to compel
the city to clean up its streets.
It was found, however, almost
impossible to keep the streets
clean, because Of the filthy hab-
it's of the inhabitants Under
authority Of General Wood,
doors of residences were smashed
in arc prominent citizens COM
pelled to work in the street clean
! ing force as a punishment for
dumping garbage into thestreets.
General Woods campaign is said
to have ended in complete sur
render Of the Inhabitants to his
authority, and there will be nc
further opposition to his sanitary
regulations. Several streets
have already been re-paved, anc
the public buildings have beer
thoroughly cleaned. An equally
difficult task awaits the governo
of Havana.
