In Memoriam.

ain the midst of life we are in
DEATH"
How true and applicable are these
words in the sad and untimely death
of GEO. w. HOLLIS, which occurred on
Saturday last, at the age of % years,
months and IA days.
Only few nights before the occur
renee, in company with the writer, he
talked of the many dangers to which
he was subjected and stated that on
several occasions he came near meet
ing death.
He spent some time in talking over
past and happier days when we were
raised as brothers together, with also
another dear friend, j. VIM. Heller
stay, who died some time since. Over
the bier of the latter we paid homage
to our departed friend, little thinking
whose turn would come next TO answer
deaths summons.
From infancy we were raised to-
gether, as brothers, until some five
years ago when all separated to enter
life's business stage. Gradually the
links have broken. and the two de-
parted.
With those who weep deeply SYM
pathize, and feel that another place
has been made vacant that will meier
be filled.
He was an industrious and energetic
young man, and was married only a
short while ago. His start in the
world was made without aid or assist
ance, and unfortunately it seems as
though adversely confronted him on
all sides. Like his companions, he
was poor boy, and possessed moth
ing but an honest principle and high
sense of manhood, by which TO make
his mark. For this we respect him,
and will hold dear his name and
remembrance.
He was Il son of John Hollis, and an
employee of the B. & O. II. r. where
he met his death by being run over by
an engine.
His parents, wife, relatives and
friends, should console themselves in
the belief that call things work to-
gether for the good of them that love

LABOR THE SOURCE OF WEALTH.

Labor is the source of wealth. No
other means of producing wealth
have eyer been or ever will be found.
1t must be wrung from the soil by
patient toll; it must be brought up
fiom mines deep in the earth by the
labor of man; 1t must be coined from
the forest by the axman and the
millman it must be wrought ont
from the raw materials by the skill,
the patience, and the labor of human
operatives. The curse of this and all
other communities to day is that so
many persons are trying to escape
this Heaven-ordained law, and to
secure something for nothing
wealth without labor of their own
Senator Dolph.

MR.. GARRISON ON THE PRESS.
THE NEWSPAPER IN POLITICS.

~ have spoken Of the past. Let
us turn to the future. i believe il
is Republican. But the party to day
ia rallying on faith rather than works
The opposition takes on new form
and power. 1t is ceaseless in activi
ty. 1t decided on the morning after
the last national election that the
next campaign would he one Of
newspapers, and it began it imme
diately. ILhas kept up its campaign
every day since, and every where
has strengthened its press.
ain this connection | would like
to call the attention Of my friends,
the MugwumpS, TO the activity Of
tho Democratic postmaster in the
four years of Cleveland. During
that time he aided in running up the
circulation Of Democratic newspa
pers in the United States far in ex
cess of the circulation of Republican
newspapers.
"The Republican party everywhere
should awaken to the fact that the
Democrats are beating them in the
circulation OF newspapers. In this
city, which used to be the great
heart or Republicanism in the Unit
ed States, and where there used tc
be three Republican newspapers
printed every day to one Democrat
ic, the situation is changed tC
the opposite condition. In New
York city to day you have to pick
up six or seven newspapers on any
news stand Geiorc you find Repub
lican paper. 1t is six to one against
us in that empire of power and in
fluence. A less ratio only is true in
Chicago and nearly all the large
cities. The Republican party is
strong in the agricultural regions
and the small towns. The weak
place in its line is in the large cities
and there it must be strengthened
The Democratic arty has sought
to utilize every possible power of
the press. They have captured a
large humble: of the agricultural
papers OF the Western states.
81 want to submit to the conSid.
Grafton of Republicans here, and
through you to the consideration OF
all Republicans everywhere, that an
increase in the circulation of demo
cratic papers means an increase in
readers of Democratic papers, and
that means an increase of Demo
cratic votes. The Democratic party
and press are always partisan, and
do not run after isms. The Repub
lican party and press are too sym
pathetic and take up too many
local cause which all of its members
can not approve. Tue parry should
be made and kept national. 1t is
stronger everywhere nationally than
it is locally. Public discussion is
too free, and public opinion too toll.
Grant, to say that no one should
read any but the papers of his OWL
party but it is safe and patriotic tc
say that every Republican should
read his own party papers as well al
the Democratic, and it is also safe
and patriotic TO say that Republicans
everywhere should unite in extend
ing the circulation of Republican
papers. This may be treason to thu
independent press, but it is loyalty
to the Republican party, and thai
means, as believe, loyalty to thu
republic itself"
