Politics in the Valley

Richmond Times-Dispatch OF
May Goth says: Mr.. r. Il. Mcleod
of the auditors office, who has just
returned from visit to his I'D
home in Rockbridge and thence
down the Valley to Winchester,
stated yesterday that while all
I'three of the candidates for Gov
ernOr had many supporters in the
Valley, Messrs. Swanson and Will
lard appeared to be the stronges1.
Mr.. Willard, he said, was very
popular in Lexington and Rock
bridge, being an old V. NJ. l. stu
dent and a great friend of the in
stitute. in the entire Valley lie
believed Mr.. Swanson was some
what stronger.
SIN my entire trip from Licking
ton through ockbridge, Augusta,
Staunton, Rockingham, Shenan-
doah and Frederick, ] hardly met
man who was not out and out
for Martini sid Mr. Mcleod.
"This was rather a surprise to me,
for a year or two ago there was
stroag antiMartin sentiment In
Rockbridge. Now, however. |
hear no one talking anything else
for the Senate but Martin"

CLEVELAND ON PARKER

The Philadelphia North Ameri.
can published an interview will
formar President Grover Cleveland
on the subject of the Democratic
Presidential nomination, in which
he says: 81 have believed for
some months, and / believe now,
that Judge Alton b. Parker of
New York, will be the nominee of
the Democratic National Conven-
tion for the Presidential office.
This expression of my opinion is
not new. In reiterating it at this
time, when there seems to be IA
lull in the Parker movement, | do
not mean to yield my original
judgment, which was that either
Mr.. Olney or Judge Gray might
have proved the strongest candi-
date for the Democracy TO name
for the contest with Mr.. ROose-
velt."
Whatever else may be said Of
Mr.. Cleveland his Judgment is
generally sound, and his public
utterances carry with them the
weight possessed by few Demo-
cratic statesmen.

NOSTRUMS UNDER BAN

Considerable interest is being
manifested by the investigation of
the Postoffice Department of the
nature of patent medicines being
sent through the United States
mails. 1t is said that the depart
ment will not cOnfine its crusade
to the exclusion from the mails of
patent medicines and nOstrums
where chemical ana Uses reveal
premeditated fraud on the part of
the manufacturers and distribut
Crs, but will also include quack
doctors In its vigorous prosecution.
L. is alleged that these unprofes-
sional practitioners prey on the
public through the medium of
questionable literature.
The crusade is, of course, not in
tended to eliminate all patent
medicines, as the formulas of some
are published and shown to be
harmless and cfficacious. 1t is
the spurious compounds and such
as are deleteriOus to the human
system that the POstOftice Depart |
ment is endeavOring to suppress.
Several years ago patent
medicine which had attained con-
siderable favor was analysed and
found to contain large percent
age of opium, and there is ~eason
to believe that some now on the
market contain this drug as well
as other baneful compounds.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT

At meeting of the State Board
of Education held last Thursday
evening in Richmond, Colonel
Robert Catlett of Lexington, was
elected Superintendent of Schools
for Rock bridge to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of DR.. A.
Nash Johnston. Colonel Catlett's
name went before the board with
strong endorsements for the posi-
ton, and Rockbridge is to be con-
graduated on his selection.
Colonel Catlett is public
spirited man and thoroughly
identified with the best interests
of the county, and we have no
doubt he will prove a most efficient
school officer. His location in
Lexington will greatly facilitate
the conduct of school business,
since it will be convenient for dis
trict trustees and teachers to met
with him in consultation.

Our Dead

[The following poem, from the pen
OF Father Ryan, is republished by re
quest from THE LEXINGTON GA
zETTE of May Sth, 1871
Do we weep for the heroes that died
for us,
Who, living, were true and tried fol
us,
And, in death, sleep side by side fol-
The martyr band
That hallowed our land
With the blood they poured in tide
for us.
All fearless on many day for us,
They stood in front of the fray for us,
And held the foemen at bay for us;
Fresh tears shall fall
Forever-o'er all
Who fell while wearing the gray for
How many a glorious name for us,
How man a story of fame for us,
They left would it not be shame
for us
III their memory part
From our land and heart
And n wrong to them and blame
for usl
No no no they We're brave for us.
And bright were the lives they gave
for us;
The land they struggled to save forus
Cannot forget
Its warriors yet,
Who sleep in so many a grave for US,
No no no they were slain for W.
And their blood flowed out in rain
for us;
Red, rich, and pure, on the plain
for us;
And years MAJ go
But our tears will flow
Yer the dead who died in vain for us.
And their deeds-proud deeds shall
remain for us,
And their names-dear names with.
out stain for us;
And the glories they won shall not
wane for US;
In legend and lay
Our heroes in gray,
though dead, shall live over again
for us.
