by his neighbors for his kind and un-
pretending manners, was honored by
his church by being called to serve as
one OF its deacons, which office he held
and discharged most faithfully for
moro than thirty years. When his
county called for volunteers he re-
sponded promptly to the call and the
Lost Cause cannot boast of one moro
true to thecause or moro brave in it's
defence. He went when anil where
duty called him and showed no signs
OF fear. On the evening of the 8th of
last Nay he retired to rest in apparent
health, but on the morning Of the 9th,
just as the first dawn of day was to be
seen. the messenger came to his couch
and ere his nearest neighbors and
friends could reach his bedside he
without a murmur laid down the tone
ment OF clay and passed on to his eter-
nal reward. We commend the be-
reaved and Borrowing ones to him who

What protection Did.

James G. Blaine.th great apostle of
Protection, during his lifetime gave
utterance to many expressions which
now appear as if lie spoke with the
tongue of inspiration. On one ocea-
sion. just prior to his death. he said;
In no event can the growth
of large fortunes be laid to the
charge of the protective policy.
Protection has proved a distrib-
utor of great sums of money;
not an agency for amassing it in
the hands of the few. The rec
ords of our savings banks and
building associations can be APP
pealed to the support of this
statement. The benefit of Pro-
lection goes first aud last to the
men who earn their bread in the
sweet of their faces. The aus
Iplcious and momentous result
is that never before ia the his
tory of the world has comfort
been enjoyed, education acquir-
ed, and independence secured
by so large a proportion of the
total population as in the Unit
ed States of America.
Every laboring man, every farmer.
knows that nothing in Holy Writ
is truer than this summing up Of the
benehcent results OF Protection.

that wages are increasing, but they
know that pay day brings them nc

knows that if the statement is true il
must be that the glad return is com.

their aim to keep it up until after

A Grand Tableau.

A great day is in store for West Vir-
ginia when Mr.. Grover Cleveland and
Mr.. William London Wilson, two ex-
leaders Of the Democratic party, meet
to shake hands and eat roast OK in full
view of the audience. The State au-
thorities have made arrangements for
the crowd, and if the little State is too
small to hold all those who wish to
look upon the spectacle, by kind per-
mission of Virginia the State line will
be moved for that day only further
into the Old Dominion. There will
be big barbecue at Ellington very
appropriate event at a very apprcpri-
ate place. After the roasting that
both men have received it will be
pleasant for them to see something
else roasted, and the name of the place,
Ellington, will bring fresh to their
minds the poor little Wilson VIII that
persisted SO young at the hands of that
monster, communism o. pelf."
Mr.. Cleveland will not make a
speech. He cannot now, as there is a
rule forbidding federal Office holders
from interfering in campaigns, and he
is still on the pay roll of the Govern
ment, But he and Mr.. Wilson will
give living picture of Master and
Man." and the chubby hand, fresh
from fishing at Buzzards Bay, will
clasp the hand that tinkled glasses III
the London banquet hall. There will
be no need of speeches. Words would
spoil the symmetry of the picture.
The location is well chosen. 1t is up
in the mountains, where the roars OF
applause can rebound against the
mountain sides and thunder so loud
that even the miner in Senator Cor
mans coal mines can hear the tunult
and ask why. From the rice swamps
of Georgia and oyster beds of Mary
land multitudes will flock to the scene.
There will be no postponemenr ON ac-
count of the weather. for, in case oil
rain, the two men will meet under a
huge glass case especially prepared for
the occasion, which will not obstruct
the view.-New York Press.

PATRICK o'BRIEN,
Of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Writes to Hon.
William L. Wilson.

My Dear Mr. Wilson:
| read the report of your speech in
London, also the other speeches.
Your English friends spoke Of renew
! activity iii England aud Wales, BIZ !.
did lit say anything about Ireland.
and | write you to let he know if
there is any lighting of furnace
and renewed prosperity there. Yor
know, as we'll as do, that there is
none III America. ana if there is none
III Ireland. for God S sake what are we
Irish voting for anyhow, I've been
thinking this thing over very care
fully and I've come to the conclusion
that the Irish in America are fools to
vote for Eng1and's in -erests-fFrec
trade.
Thirty years ago the Irish ii Amer
lea were ''the llewers of wood and the
drawers of wat err" tits not so today.
II you want common unskilled labor
it is impossible to find any Irish; they
have inprovest their condition, and how
have they done so why. through OPP
portunIty. Who made the opportun-
ity? why. the Republican party. You
ask how' By fostering and encour-
aging every source of industry. The
records of Congress for the past thir-
ty years proves this. If we did not
produce an article. the Democrats in
congr IS said. you cannot make it;
the Republicans said we can and will.
and they voted a duty on that article
to encourage capital to make it. ).
This is the history of hundreds of
items on the tariff schedule and til .se
industries prospered SO that Mr.. w.
i. Wilson now says we manufae cure
more than we consume. | see a Mr..
o Mel in the issue of October II, of
the Wheeling Inteliigencer proves
you don know what you are talking
about, when you Offer that as plea
for free trade.
/ I'm going to vote for the best inter-
csts of America and / think / can
help both America aud Ireland by
keeping Irshnen employed in the
mills, factories. mines and railroads
in the United States. The Irishman
who prates Of home rule. ETC., and
then votes to light the furnaces Of
England is a lyon lnow.''

ut must be admitted that no
tariff measure can accord with
Democratic principles and prom
ises or bear a genuine Democrat
ic badge that does not provide
for free raw materials. In these
circumstances it may well excite
our wonder that Democrats are
willing to depart from this, the
most Democratic of all tariff
principles, and that the incon-
sistent absurdity of such q Pro-
posed departure should be en-
phasiZed by the suggestion that
the WOOL of the farmer be on the

tariff taxation be placed around
