POLITICS AND PHYSIC.

I'm common with all Nirginlans We
entertain high regard for Hon John
Goode and have profoundest respect
for his cultured taste and good Judg
meut We must be permitted, how
ever. TO SAY that he made mistake
when. i'm am address before the gradu-
ates of the University College Of Medi-
cine, Richmond. he threw out induce
ments 20 the young doctors 10 center
the field of politics" and mot TO wait
until the blood has chilled in your
veins and your heads have become
whitened with the frosts of winters"
And the old hero Of SO many political
wars then proceeded to "cite a. cases
Of encouragement the careers Of Pitt,
Fox, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison,
Patrick Henry, Clay, Calhoun as ex-
amples of men who gained distinction
i'm their vocations and in the field Of
politics at an early age"
And there isn't doctor Of medicine
i'm the list. The man who is charged
with the well-nigh sacred duty Of look
ing after sick bodies has no time to be
giving 90 the body polite except as in
telligeut aud we'll Informed voter.
MI Goode would have done well to
have referred those young gentlemen
10 the example Of Gen Lee who could
have mad for the asking the highest
honors Virginia or the South could
have conferred, but he preferred "duty"
I'm the private walks of life, and there
he did most good, enjoyed sweeter
peace and through his greatness shone
out more resplendently. But shall
mo- good mau enter politics? Yes, but
only those who are sought oft 10y the
people. lfthis one happens to be the
physician of the neighborhOod let him
respond and then enter, but let all
competent doctors eschew politics, look
after the sick, live happy and die
peacefully.

DIR. Hawthorne, the gifted Baptist
divine, /, alarmed at the progress roy.
atty is making in this greatest of re
public- lie regrets that DIR. Curry
was lionized and did the lioniziug at
the coronation of King, and that
Prince Henry has so recently turned
the heads Of this people. He predicts
that this toadyism will be an issue in
the next presidential campaign, and
that when the people get blow at it
il will down at their bidding We
have no objection to international
courte>ies, and only hope that while
engaged IN it our rulers won't make
fools Of themselves.
We trust that DR.. Curry has so borne
himself in presence Of royalty a to
have given new emphasis to the fact
that the republic has nothing to fear
when brought in contrast with mou-
archy.
The power Of Kings has been so
weakened in these later years that they
are only allowed 10 wear crowns and
clothe IN purple.

THAT PLEDGE.

II the Norfolk Convention did make
"a pledge. and this We do not deny, who
was represented in the act? The Dem
ocratic voters Of Virginia, who gave the
body being and now those same people
have released the pledge, and it no
longer exists. Nothing but good Of
the dead, and ii may have been good
in its day, but let's dismiss the dead
subject and discuss living ISSUES. Pro-
clamation has been proclaimed.

The Republican party OF the nation
Is on the run, aud a desperate effort
at a rally Is being made by waving the
bloody shirt. The old thing has lost
all but its responsiveness. Wave il ever
so ifautically and it will not hide from
the public eye either the failures or
follies Of the GO. ?. What an OPEN
ing for Democracy? Will it enter and
occupy? United, yes, divided, no.

Mr.. Carnegie says ut is more diff

There are no more loyal Democrats
in all the land than are the Charlotte
county Democrats, but they do have a
way of differing before getting together
which Is peculiar to them. Even on
the question Of proclaiming, the most
popular thing that ever struck the Viz
GINA mind, they would unite before
first agreeing to disagree. II may have
been due this time to the desire on the
part Of 50 many To hear Glenn Green
tell jokes and they do say he told some
good ones.

Now that the st. Louis Exposition
has been postponed for a year, Viz
GINA might still be there in proper

way? Virginia is too poor not to be
