the high character of the late DR. Hen
ry ]. Wiesel, who died recently in the
city of Wheeling. We met many of
his friends and associates during our
stay in Wheeling last week, who bore
testimony of bis personal worth. He
was o young man full Of promise, every
where honored and beloved by his ac-
ouaintances. He had Deen married lit
tie more than wear when stricken
down bv the hand Of death.

Tribute Of Respect.

At meeting of the Wheeling Musl-
cal Institute held at their rooms on the
evening Of November 1th, 1863, the
following was presented and adopted:
DIR. Ii j Wiesel, member of the
Board of Directors, and Musical Con
ductor Of this Institute from its organi-
zatioa, in the mysterious dispensation CT
an Allwise Providence, has been taken
away from us by death.
1t seems almost impossible for us to
realize the truth Of this sad announce
ment; even yet We almost expect to
hear his footsteps on the stairway, fol
lowed by his cheerful presence and
courtiy greeting, which were to us the
best preparation for q spirited and
agreeable rehearsal.
Our association with him steadily
increased in value and cordiality. He
became to us not only skilfulinstruc-
tor, but also an esteemed friend. While
he gave us abundant reason to appreci-
ate his musical taste and requirements,
he at the same time won a cherished
place in our affections by his modesty
of spirit, his purity of character, his
devotion to friends and to principle.
Now that he has gone, aud our
hearts are bowed with sorrow which
words can but family express, we in
sti actively recall the familiar features
of his person and character, and fix
th"m in the chords OF memOry's sacred
harp, which in strain of holy music,
softening with time, but never hushcd,
will sing Of him to US forever.
Our loss is great, but there is one
who was nearer to him than any of us,
and whose loss is immcasurably greater
than ours. TO her We extend our pro-
found sympathies and sincere condo
leuce. For her we invoke the benedic-
ton and consolation which a III rcltul
Heaven had especially promised III such
un hour Of bereavement.
How stlikingly are we reminded by
the circumstances surrounding us to-
night Of the finale in the Cantata of
the Erie Kings Daughter, a favorlie
sabiect of DR.. WicserS in the study of
which, with him, we found so much Of
interest aud enjoyment.

The Sixth General Conference of
the Evangelical Alliance was hell
in this city in October, from the I'd
TO the 18th inclusive. The Alliance
is not a union of churches, but an as
ISOLATION of Christians representing
all the evangelical denominations OF
Protestant ChristendOm. 1t is ready
to receive as members all who accept
fundamental principles and doctrines
of Evangelical Christianity, namely ::
The Divine inspiration, authorit
and sufficiency ofthe Holy Scripture :;
he unity of the Gudhead and the
trinity of persons therein; the utter
depravity of human nature in .onse-
quenca of the Fall the incarnation
of the Son of God, his atonement and
mediatorial intercessiOn and reign :;
The justification ofthe sinner by faith
lone; the work of the Holy Spirit in
conversion and sanctification of the
sinner; the divine institution of the
Christian ministry, and the obliga-
ZION and perpetuity of the ordinances
of baptism and the Lords Supper;
he immortality ofthe soul, the resur-
rection of the BODY, the judgment of
he world by Jesus Christ, with the
eternal blesEedness of the righteous
and the punishment of the wicked.
This summary of belief was adopted
az the formation of the organization
At London, in 1916. and has been ac-
cepted by the various branches which
have since been established.

The Wise Sgen of Walt Street.


Only year ago the men of Wall
street were exerting themselves to
the utmost to prevent the election Of
Horace Greeley as President. They
laid that if he should be chosen there
would be danger of a financial revo-
luton and so they raised large sums
of money to defeat the Greeley CALL
didates in North Carolina and to Sc
cure the success of Grant in Penn.
svlVania in October; and the work
was done.
But notwithstanding the election of
Grant and the perpetuation of Grant
ism i'll the Government, we are now
passing through one of the worst
financial cataclysms ever known in
he history of the country. The
Grant system of finance is still main
aimed, and President Grant has call
ed to the management OF the Treas
ury the financial genius who suits
him best in the person of Judge
Richardson. No attempt has been
made to apply the dangerous theory
IF quick return TO specie pay ments
which Horace Greeley used to advo-
ate. No such statesman as VIM. S.
Grosbeck has been appointed Secre-
airy of the Treasury. The Grant
party have had it all their own way,
and have done unchecked what they
liked.
We trust the Wall street bankers
md capitalists are still perfectly sat-
ST d with their success of last au-
tumn.

From the Golden Age.
During the toilsome months of last
ear, when we were doing our best
to urge the claims of Horace Greeley
to the SURFACES of his count ymen,
we were constantly told that Mr..
Greeley was man so unskille d in
financial economy that his election
would disturb the money ed classes.
Henry Clews s. Co., Jay Cooke & Co.,
Fisk 81 Hatch, and other firms made
themselves conspicuous by discredit-
ng Mr.. Greeley on the ground that
his election would unsettle the mon
" market. Under President Grant,
laid they, eve shall have prosperity
and case"
But Grants election has been fol-
lowed by the very panic which it was
expressly designed to prevent.
MOI cover, the very firms that trust
led to it for safety are the chief vic
TINS to their own false prophecy.
Furthermore, the conspicuous capt.
taIists who last summer advocated
Grants election-we mean such men
a. Horace B. Claflin, FL nry Clews,
William Orion, and others -distin-
guished themselves on a recent SUI
day morning by urging Grant to vio-
late the law of the lend in order to
relieve them from a pinch and pres
sure which they were once sure could
come only through the election OF
Grants rival!
The campaign ISLANDERS which these
professed opponents of the business
community uttered, against blame
less man a year ago, have now been
brought home, by q sort of avenging
poetic justice, to their own doors,
and find a strange commentary IN
their own misforrunes.
