JOHN JENNINGS, aged a5, died in Hsr.
ford county, Maryland, a few days ago. He
was the last survivor In that county Of the
defenders OF Baltimore In 1872.
CHAUNCEY DEPEw, who Is mentioned
for tho Repu blican presidential nomination,
had mother who was the best OF women,
and Chauncey, who was always her favor
ite fairly worshipped her Anything that
she told him to do he would do.
Mrs. LAWRENCE CoRCoRAN, who with
her husband and family have for number
OF years lived In comparative poverty In
South Orange, n. has been informed
that by the will OF a deceased aunt she has
fallen heir to fortune OF Sl50,0CO.
Mr.. w. y DABoLr., who has made fame as
the partner in crime of Mr.. Francis Wilson
in "Erminie," has been Ill for some time
ana unable to play his part OF "Rsvvy" In
the famous oleretta Ill health will
probably cause his permanent retirement
from the stage.
CHARLES f. DAILY died Friday In Mar.
shall Intrmary in Troy, Now York. A
short time ago he received word from
q leen Anne county, Marylan that his
isther had died, leaving an estate valued at
more than 100000, to which he was sole
heir.
SENATOR NoRHEEs Is quoted by a
Washington dispatch as saying that he Is
not candidate for vice president, nor Is
ex-senator Mcdonald, no lar as he knows
"The Indiana Democrats, says Mr.
Voorhees,, have but one candidate for vice
president, and that IL Gov. Gray. His
name will be presented to the national
| convention by the solid delegation from
the state.
CHATTERToN's famous line in which he
epitomiz3d tho miraculous story OF the

Mr.. JOHN Il. MEGINNEss, who is an
old Lancaster county boy, has been pub

devoted to the historical life OF the West
Branch valley In this state. In the last
issue, that OF April, 1888, he says the Jour
nal " has brought no pecuniary reward to
It's publisher tor his labor. In fact he finds
himself slightly behind at the close OF the
volume. But As "A hundred or more full
sets are still on hand, II Is possible that In
the course OF time he may sell enough
bound volumes TO make up the deficiency.
As u general rule, writing and publishin q
local history is purely labor OF love-
Ii rarely pays. Ga an average, scarcely
one Ia fifty appreciates such literature. But

About (hild Labyr.

The Lancaster Inquirer comments
upon recent utterance Of this journal
upon the question of child labor. The
law forbids the employment of children
under the age of thirteen and We were
disposed to believe that there was no
great infraction Of it in this city. We
also stated the evident fact that 10 many
poor and struggling family child labor
was boon, though it was hardly thought
necessary to repeat what we have often
said Of the great harm that it does to the
whole community. On this poiLt We can
cordially echo the opinion of our
esteemed contemporary. The system of
child labor is az clearly against public
pJicy as it is against the law. at is
bringing up generation of men and
women who are dwaried in body and
mind, unfit to exercise and fu'lll the
higher and more responsible duties of
citizenship, and incapable of performing
properly the services to the government
which may be required of them at the
age Of maturity"
But suppose poor man with eight or
ten children and dollar day, and even
that small income dependent upon his
own good health and the prosperity of
bis employer; would our contemporary
severely condemn that man for using the
labor Of his children TO keep the wolf
from the door We admit the evil
~ We admit the infraction of the law.
There Is a tenderness of years which is
very necessarily protected by the law from
greed or need OF the parent and the
sgeofthhteen is a iudicious limit. The; Q

The Soldier Business.

l The Columbia Spy is Sin way" over
i thu soldjer business. 1t thinks the IN.
srELLfeENCER is the champion soldier
hater Of the country, or on the way to
!. being SO, or some nonsence Of that sort.
y There is q certain class-and 1t is big
- aes--of newspaper editors who never
Dfsll 70 howl when anybody says anything
A1afnst an ex soldier getting anything.
1 They think IL is popular way to talk, or
else they had cousin or wife's relation
In, the war, or maybe were somewhere
: around the outskirts themselves; and they
il think that the soldier can never he sufli-
ciently rewarded.
And the curious part Of it is that they
!. always insist that the soldiers of the late
\ war always enlisted through patriotism.
. They never speak of them as drafted
. men or bounty Jumpers /; and ths present
generation who have grown up since the
war, would never know from them that
the patriotic ardor which fired the three
months volunteers, subsided immensely
when three years volunteers were asked
\ FOR, and had got to a low ebb when the
drafting time came at the end Of two or
three years.
No doubt there were a great many
soldiers in. the war who enlisted chiefly
= through patriotism and the great ma
'jofity were OF this kind in the beginning.
q But 1t is Just as certain that after a while
the patriotic fever failed to draw the
i needed crop. of soldiers and the draft
lhad 10 be resorted to. These are facts
sof history which will not out, and which
no Intelligent man will gainsay.
And We say that the prevalent DISPOSE
|. tion OF the "old soldier" to demand
everything that is going, contradicts
his claim that he enlisted only through
patriotism, and suggests strongly that he
was fred with the love Of plunder then
Is he is now. II he was patriotic now
he would say /" fill the Offices with the
flttest men, instead Of crying " fill the
Offices with old soldiers"
That this country has been just to gen
y orosity with its old soldiers cannot be de
MED. The German empire, after goini
<, through war OF greater cost of life an'
:. money than ours, pays but ten millions
year in pensions. Great Britain pays bu
y six millions; while the United States pa
seventy-five millions, and the unsatisfe'
= soldier element asks now a service pen
sion for, every man and the preferenc

GOVERN hxedupon Fri
day, the 9th day OF April, to be observed
an Arbor Day throughout tho common
wealth. he says: Not only should trees
and shrubbery be planted In the public
school grounds and along the public high
ways throughout the state, but increased
attention should be given to the planting Of
trees wherever they can be properly cult
waited. Thousands Of acres OF farm lands
Otherwise unproductive can be turned to
profitable account, by the cultivation OF
timber, nut, and fruit-bearing trees. The
subject should receive the careful aud con-
slider ate attention Of all who are Interested
in the prosperity OF the common wealth, and
In remuneTative return for money In.
vested In and tho labor expended upon
their iands. The observance OF tho day
should not be confined to literary exercises
in,snd tree-planting by, our public schools.
1t Is a subject which demands and should
receive the thoughtful attention and careful
consideration fall our people. The gen.
eral observance OF the day should result In
the planting OF large numbers of trees, not
only for shade and ornament, but for prac-
tlcal uses and profitable return In the
future. The Incidental advantages which
will result to the community are great
and varied. The necessity for Increased
attention to the general subject OF forestry
Is becoming more and more apparent.
There should be not only an increased al
tention to the dissemination OF know led ge
upon the subject, but great increase in
the number OF trees actually planted. II
the grounds surrounding our school houses
are filled with trees and shrubs, let the
scholars secure permission from the owners
OF lands along the highways to plant trees
in such a way ~ to be protected from in
jury, and at the same time afford beauty
and shade TO the passer-by.

he Careful.

The Providence Jo,,yaal and the Bos-
ton Jo,und, have been having tilt over
the effect OF the Mills tariff bill upon the
farmers interest, which the latter thought
were injured by it. The former, however,
says that the only agricultural products
affected of any account by the bill are
flax, hemp, leaf tobacco, rice, sugar and
wool, of which the fax and wool pro-
ducers would probably be helped rather
than hurt in the long run. Tobacco,
rice and sugar IL comedies may
be injured, but thinks that their
product is of too little value to be weighed
against the interests calling for the re-
duction of the tax. 1t says that the
tobacco product in 1850 was but thirty
nine millions, sugar nine millions and rice
four millions.
Certainly II there are great interests in
the country calling for the Gripping of
these industries, that might be a justilica-
ton for it. But we do not think there Is
any such demand. We do not want to
stop the production Of sugar or rice, and
IL Mills bill threatens this those provi-
sons of it should not be passed.
Neither do we want TO stop the py oduc-
tion of leaf tobacco for cigar wrappers I;
as it will be stopped under Mills and
Randall bills. There Is no justification
of it all no demand for 1t from anyone ;
and there has never been more causeless
and insane assault made upon any
industry. 1t is simply due to assume
| ignorance. Cigar wrapper tobacco Is
largely grown in New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois
and Wisconsin. 1t has as its competitor
tobacco from Sumatra, because the latter
is exceedingly light, fine veined, tough
and Of fashionable color for cigar wrap
pers. The present duty on the lightest
leaves is rs cents pound /; these weigh
over 100 TO the pound. On leaves weigh.
| ing under 100 the duty is 35 cents per
| pound. The Mills bill reduces the duty
TO 35 cents on both classes, perhaps u
save trouble to the custom house in clas
styling the imports, which might just
as easily have been done by making the
duty seventy five cents on all cigar wrap
per tobacco. No one would have beel
injured, and a great industry would hav
been protected. The duty of thirty.fv
cents will put quietus Oh the HON
grown wrappers. IL congressman under
stood this and that this Sumatra Tobacco
will drive the home tobacco out Of th
market because it is SO light that a poun
of it will cover great many more cigar
than the home grown, they certainly wi
not be willing to innict this great II
jury.

II is not TO be supposed that the law is
wholly observed no law ever is. The
Inquirer says that there are fifty txcep.
tions in Lancaster. We do not think
even that number would show serious
