WILLIAM H Prison

Died at New Hope, Va, on the morning of
the 10Th OF April, after protracted illness.
aged about 33 years
The death of such man calls for more ex
tended remark than the mere announcement in
an obituary column. DR.. Pilsop graduated with
distinction IN medicine at the University OF
Virginia, In 1870, then spent two years in Balti
more preparing himself for the profession to
which for ten years he devoted ali his energies
OF mind and body, and in which he achieved
probably larger success than any practitioner
OF MS years In his county. AS physician, he
was skIlful. intelligent, vigilant and conscienti-
Gus. Careful to keep pace with the progress of
his profession prompt to supply himself with
the newest and best books and instruments: he
was ever ready to meet and grapple with HYDRA
headed disease. He combined the rare qualities
OF nrmness and gentleness, having the nerve to
use the knife when necessary, and the gentleness
to soothe and comfort the sufferer. He had a
pig heart generous sympathetic nature, fol-
lowing his profession to relieve distress rather
than to get gain He went as cheerfully to the
cabin OF the poor as to the hall of the rich He
was positive and frank with his patients. honest
and courteous with other physicians. He would
not Tolerate the slightest approach to charlatan-
ism.
He dared to do all that did become a man"
He was a gentleman always and everywhere
knew him as a man, confded in him as q
friend, and loved him as a brother He was
fond OF philosophical investigation and capable
TO decide upon the merits of modern speculation
yet faith IN Christ was the underlying principle
OF every act of his useful life. Neither did
ratlonalIstlc theories annoy nor profane SCOTS
disturb him. Among his many virtues never
saw wee. He lived above reproacb the
cynical fault finder was forced to respect him
and the low, mischievous quack compelled to do
him honor.
he was great sufferer, and during the last year
OF his lie he was often IN the saddle when I
thought duty required him to stay in bed. He
often remarked to me he could endure his own
pam when conscious of relieving some other
sufferer. The day after 1 was advised of his
death, lady called to see me, and while speak
ing OF Virginia, she said she spent summer at
the springs In the mountains of Va. and there
met young physician who was attending a dv-
ing man that his atentIcn and gentlepess won
her lasting interest. She said that his name
was W. H. Pilson. | replied by telling her I
had Just heard of his death.
No one ever had him in the sick chamber who
could forget his kindness and constant devotion
10 the SICK. He anticipated an early death and
often talked with me freely of it, He said It
was haTd cold, trying world to leave his wife
ana chlld IN but he was assured God could not
fall to guide and bless them His home was the
ABODE OF hospitality, refinement, and good taste
but enough VA VIZ
lie gave his honors to the world again
Ills blessed part to Heaven, and sleeps in
peace" r. MP

This Strike Must End.
Pittsburgh JeLegr1ph.

e<sOefg NV ACNSfNPN-
No progress has yet been made towards
an amicable settlement of the differences
between the iron masters and the iron
workers here, but all the same it is still
safe to predict that there will be no such
prolonged strike as the reporters hear Of.
1t is all very brave for each side to talk of
the test of strength which they are ready
to make, and since each side is angry that
the other will not see things in the same
light as they do, it is natural for them to
talk so. But sane men do not stay angry
very long, and this brave talk will end in
due time. That has been the way
before, and there is no reason why one
cannot judge of the future by the
past on this occasion as we'll as was done
on previous occasions. The men engaged
IN this dispute are sensible men, and
know that they annOt afford to allow a
strike of six months. And if they could
afford to, they have no right to. They
alone are not concerned. The whole bust.
ness of this region is interested, and public
sentiment will compel a settlement of
the dispute. The community has rights as
well as any special classes. The iron
workers and iron-masters know this, and
know the power of public sentiment when
once aroused. The public will find out
which side is the right ooner than some
persons may imagine, and when it does,
will speak in tones that will be heard.
This is not a time for so great an industry
Us the one in question to be Frustrated. Let
those engaged in it recover their good
humor if any remain angry, and put an
end TO this affair at once. II there is to be
a display of strength, let it be in build.
ing up our goodly city.

A DEMOCRATIC paper down east ventures
to say that "Ohio is in reality a Democrat
ic State" In reality it is nothing OF the
kind. Since the formation of the Republi-
can party in 1856 the Democrats have car
ried the State but four times, and in all the
long interval have had but two Governors,
William Allen and Mr.. Bishop. The pros
pect that the Democrats will carry the
State this fall is strong, but it is not a
certainty. The Germans have left the Re-
publican party pretty generally, but the
State is largely agricultural, and its for
eign-born population is but an eighth Of
the whole. II the Democrats van Ohio
this fall, they will have to work for it.

Monongalia comfy will decide on the 10th

discussion of this question by her press dis
closes the astonishing fact that she hasn't a
mile of railroad within her borders. We
say astonishing, because when Sturgiss was
out for Governor, he talked IS though a
railroad wound around every hill in the
county and reached out in all possible
directions, and that they had up in his
strong Republican county many other
testimonials of the advancement of modern
