THE CEMETERY.

Throughout the large cities Of
Europe and the Uuited States, the
cemeteries have received the attention
OF friends and corporations. Wood
stock has beautiful cemetery. I'm.
fortunately the charges have been sc
low, that the company has been un-
able to care for and decorate it as II
should be. 80 often our dead are
placed In graves covered With flowers,
expressive of the love and sympathy
OF their friends. The flowers wither
and grass and rank weeds seem to al
most conceal the fact that it is the
last resting place Of some ones loved
one
This should not be. The cemetery
company has placed small tax OF
one dollar per wear upon each lot,
the money TO be used In hiring man
to take proper care of the lots. 1t
matters not how prosperous an 10
divldual may have been or in what a
luxurious home he may have lived,
when the time comes for him to rest,
he will have but small piece OF
ground for his home for many, many
years.
Is 1t not becoming, is 1t not the
duty OF those whom he loved here to
at least, care for his small resting
piece, but two feet by six?
Tourists passing through the valley
have been known to visit our grave
yards and the cemetery. Their COM
ments have not always been COM
plimentary. 1t is said that the ceme-
teries in Strasburg, Toms Brook, and
Mount Jackson are better cared for
than the cemetery in Woodstock.
The funds for the purchase of the
property was contributed by com
paratively few persons, and they
have received but little for their in
vestment. Let them determine that
next year we shall have beautiful
cemetery. If they can not do SO, let
them turn over to the ladies, who
generally accomplish any improve
ment which they undertake.

PATTERSON'S DECENT
DUTY

Judge PatUersOn's right to
remain on the bench while going
before the people. as a candidate
for the Mayoralty nomination
has been questioned.
"Of course, in one sense, he is
as much entitled to hold on to
his place in Court No. 1 as Con-
gressman MOORE is to retain
his seat in the House at Wash
ington.
But in point of property the
re is a certain moral sense viii
ch applies peculiarly to the judi
ciary in connection with such a
question, and that is that it is
Unbecoming and undesirable
that a Judge should remain on
the bench while seeking another
office in a political campaign,
not to speak Of a campaign in
which he may make his appea-
rance as the representative of a
faction
Under such circumstances it
is usually contended that a Jud-
&c should resign. Sometimes he
does, and sometimes he simply
continues to sit quietly in the
performance Of his customary
judicial duties, without taking
any active, or public, part in the
campaign.
I'm the case of Judge PATTI
ERSON as a candidate, he has
been chosen at the instance of a
factional boss, and the nature
Of the impending contest is such
that a large portion Of his fell
low citizens would look with
stern disapproval on his conduct
if he were to stay on the bench
while playing the role of a cham
plon and standard bearer of the
WARES.
1t is, therefore, to be taken
for granted that the Judge will
be prompt to resign his seat in
Court No. /. If he We're not to
do so, he would be chargeable
with a gross breach Of the deli
cate honor which a Judge should
be scrupulous to observe if we
are to yield to him at all the
right of jumping down into the
arena and entering the lists as
a boss favorite in factional poll
