The New Court House.

| SpottswOod. Sept. 10.-It may be OF
interest to some of our county brethren
! to know that our much talked of new
courthouse building is nearing com
pletion. We are informed by the
workmen that they want to have it far
| enough on to hold the next term of
the county court in it. whether this
be the case or not the building process
is moving along and when complete
we will have a building that will be all
ornament to Stanton and credit to
Augusta county. A building, con-
venient, commodious, necessary and
durable. According to the best in
formation we can gather it has been
cOnStru cted on the most economical
plane possible to get good material,
good work and nothing fancy or un-
necessary. We are informed that the
building costs about $46 900; heating,
lighting and iron caseing cost about
SO, 900 sum total of about S55, 200.
When finished We will have court
house that we would not exchange for
that of either of our neighbor counties
though they cost great deal more
money. 1t has a large court room on
the second floor and all other room
necessary for clerk s offices, jury
rooms, record Offices and the record
Office being strictly fire proof. Now
to provide for this expense our super
yisoTs have acted very wisely, and
managed it in business like way.
They had OH hands $4,000 which had
been saved to repair OF rebuild the old
house. When 1t was being torn down it
Was found to be impracticable to re-
pair the old house some of the main
tim bers being rotten and other defects,
the building suffered TO some extent
for want of repair during the civil
war. When it was found necessary
tO build anew, it was also necessary TO
provide the means, with which to do |
it. Finding the cost to be about $685. |
900, and having $1,000 On hands and |
the old material that could be used at !
an estimate of $1,000, left a debt of
ga 900 to be provided for. The assess
I'd value of the property of the county |
being about S12, 900, 900 it was found !
that an increased tax of 10c on the
800 for four years would cover prin-
,iple and interest CT the debt, so that !
4 man paying taxes on 81 900 would
have to pay one dollar year more for
our years, which no thinking man
would refuse to do to secure such a
)ailding as this. This as | under
stand commences with the present
Jear and amounts to about 10000
IS, ZOO of which has already been col
ected. To get the money for immedi
lte use the supervisors issued war
ants which are being taken up at
Ind per cent which will reduce the
interest very materially. Upon the
whole our board of supervisors should
De congratulated for the management
# the whole business, and let it be
said well done good and
aithful servants. J. W. NJ.

POLITICS AND STRIKES.

II Is fortunate for the country at
large that there has been no national
campaign on or any state campaign OF
national interest In progress during the
continuance OF the steel strike. Had
there been. there Is no doubt that the
strike would have spread to other de-
partments Of industry and soon have
become a political issue. for the dema-
gogues Of politics live on strife and
they never cease to work that there
may be contention In times OF labor
troubles they find their harvest But
the strike has prodted them nothing
this year for It has been year without
politics. Hadit been otherwise the whole
country might have become involved in
one vast strike. Strikers usually have
some grievances, but they have not all
that they are credited with when a cam
paign Is on. Then the ills they have
are magnlhed and others they know
not Of are added to the list And why?
That they may be alleyiated and their
wrongs. whatever they may be. right
ed? BY no means. They are wanted in
political times that they may be used.
that they may be as dumb, driven
cattle, to be moved hither and thither.
And with their passions and prejudices
up they are but too easily swayed. Nor
Is all the trouble with the political
demagogues. There are labor demo
gogues, too. men who profess friendship
for the workingman, but whose chief
aim Is to exploit him. They are the
chief aides to the political demoeogues.
Largely owing to the absence OF in
terest in politics this year the country
has not been put in a turmoil through
strikes, and the greatest one OF all Is
now in a fair way for settlement The
issues between employer and employe
have not become COMPOUNDED with ex-
traneous ones always a great dangol,
and so Il has not been necessary to
eliminate foreign matters When people
who differ on any matter cap define
their issues, the chances Of agreement
or settlement are greatly enhanced.
But strikes. like municipal elections.
should not come OF In the same year
as a general election.

AGUINALDo's POSITION.

Aguinaldo's position Is truly an an
omalous one. The instruction or war
whichever 1t may be termed, is over
and he remains a prisoner. He was
captured but after his capture he took
the oath of allegiance to the United
states. He did more He used his in
fluence to have his fellow insurgents
come in and lay down their arms and
formally accept the sovereignty OF the
United States. He remains n prisoner
of war after all this. yet there is no one
for whom he can be exchanged. What
shall be done with him? From Manila
II has been said several times. that he
is kept guarded so closely because II Is
feared that his enemies viii do him
some harm. But Aguinaldo fears no
harm, knows no enemies. To say that
he is guarded so closely out Of solicit
tude for his own welfare is humorous,
10 say the least. The truth is that he
is guarded so closely because he is mis-.
trusted. His nature is Filipino. and
Filinino nature, none too good at best,
has been made worse by domination OF
Spanish nature for over three hundred
years.
So soon as civil government
has been thoroughly established in the
Islands, and the inhabitants have be-
come accustomed TO American men and
ways, II win be perfectly safe to re-
store Aguinaldo to liberty for the
abuses which existed under Spanish
rule and against which ne raised rebel
lion viii have ceased to exist. II poll
tics In the proper sense OF the word are
established In the Islands, it is alto
gether probable that the late rebel
leader win become an important factor.
Upon his liberation II Is not unlikely
that he may visit the United States. II
he does, and he makes any study OK
American institutions and ways. It can
not fail to modify profoundly his the
ories Of government and also his ideas
OF the United States. So far as the
government at Washington Is con-
cerned, Agulnaldo's position Is vs,y
largely that Of a white elephant. What
shall II DO with him?

the sympathies Of all, whatever opinion
Is held OF the merit OF the struggle as
2 political question, Is the death Of Dom

her self-eXiled husband. Mrs. Kruger
was descended from an ancient and
distinguished family, and had the vir-
tues OF an interrupted line. Her traits.
as narrated IN the biographical sketch,
suggest the homely Dobleness OF the
best women Of the early days OF New
England, who endured the poverty and
hardshps Of lie In the untamed viii
derness. Their accomplishments were
not those % the social favorltes Of to-
dag, but they were willing toilers who
bore hardy. righteous sons and daugh-
tiers. and they failed not in the duties
