The man who devotes his energies to
the amassing of wealth may succeed in
his sordid ambition, but his heart is apt
to take on metallic ring and the better
elements OF his nature becomes stified
and withered and life become to him
only selfish bittle for gain and an
arena in which to foster the growth of
greed. He is ap. to live as dwarf in
all the better senses OF life, blind and
deaf to oil the beauties of mind and SEN
timent, the sensations aud emotions
that N oss distinguish man from the
lower animals, and dying he goes to his
grave unwepi by those who knew him.
He may have an imposing funeral, such
as money will buy, aud the ne wspspers
may prins formal anl perfume tory
notices OF his taking off. but there is no
feeling of sincere regret, no heartfelt
tribute to his memory. as he passes from
the life in which he lived as human
mole, leaving his wealth because he
cannot carry it.-Knoxville Tribune.

The Wells Fargo Express Company has
given out the following official state

Twenty thousand dollars was sent from
Denver to the First National Bank of
Colorado Springs. This money was in
currency OF small denominations and
was received about o'clock and too late
to DO delivered to the bank.
The package containing the money
WAS placed in the depot safe and both
doors locked. There was nothing to

OF S35, QUO consigned to the same bank.
These packages wers delivered to the

After the train had departed, the
agent, George Kroul, was met at the
door by two masked men with drawn
REVIEWERS. The package containing the
$4,000 was demanded, and the agent
was compelled to open the safe and give
it up. The agent said nothing about

will not be as certain ss most OF the
leaders of the latter party now suppose.
The defeat of the Democratic csndi-
dates in Maryland WAS not so much
Republican victory as the result of Dem.
ocratio protests against men and meas
ures in that State.
In Kentucky the division on the tinan-
cial question gave the State govern ment
to the Republicans, temporarily; but it
is not reasonable to expect that there
has been such revulslon Of sentiment
there IS to make all the men who did
not vote at all, or who even supported
Bradley, staunch Republicans. On the
contrary, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the great majority OF the
voters of kentucky are to-day as strong
In support OF genuine Democracy as
they have ever beun.
In both States men were disguised at
the selfshness Of their leaders, and de-
termined to rebuke them by remaining
from the polls or directly assisting the
opposition.
In this State also the gains of the
coalition!sts and the light vote polled
showed most conclusivsly that forces
similar to those in Maryland and in
kentucky are at work, and that these
protests will be much stronger and far
more potent at the next election if the
party in power do not profit By the hints
given them on the 5sh of this month by
purifying the ballot and insugurating
other needed reforms,
The people are not tired OF genuine
Democracy, but are disguised with the
sham article, uoder which they have
been voting for ye, ss we'll as the so.
called leaders who have presumed to
direct the policy OF the party in this
State. Genuine Democracy means the
greatest good to the greatest number
and the equality OF all before the law;
not the greedy, grabbing rule OF few
men whose motto is office aud. whose
motives are founded pursly on selfish
ness.
Voting for Dam ocratic nominees does
not make q man q Democrat. when tn ose
nominees represent in themselves every
thing that Ia foreign to the name and
real meaning of the word. The old game
of ostracism aud abuse of all who pre-
sumo to differ with such so-called Dem
ocrats will work no longer in Virginia.
The voters Of this State are deter
mined that the ballot shall hereafter
mean something. They have already
entered their protest against arbitrary
and dishonest political methods, and II
those protests are UNDECIDED they will
be heard from at the next opportunity
in manner that cannot be mistaken.

terday at noon by Rev. DR.. Campbell at
the home of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Beckwith, All Beaudfy av-
enue. Only immediate friends and the
relatives of the contracting parties were
present. The drawing room in which
the ceremony took place was daintily
arranged with ropes of smilax and carna-
tons. The room across the hall was
bright with yellow flowers and in here
the wedding presents were displayed,
which included many valuable and costly
remembrances from tho many friends of
the bride and groom. The bride wore a
becoming gown of brown cloth, finished
with Jet anu rosettes of fur. The weo-
ding luncheon was served from small ia
bles placed about the rooms, and imme-
diately after an informal reception Mr.
and Mrs. Boyle left for the north. They
will vsiit different places of interest along
the coast and will then go to San Fran

were only an occasional manifestation OF
temper, or the outbreak of a gradually
q wing prejudice, it would be explainable
ven though not excusable; but when 1t
is felt to be part of a cunning and con-
certed policy TO disparase portion OF
the country and intiame the rest against
it, there can be no respect for it amongst
fsir-minded men. So systematic has
been the sectionalism of the whole ne
publican party since recon. truction be-
gan, that it has on several well remem-
bered occasions defeated its own appar
ent and declared purpose. Going back to
the last force bill. the whole matter finds
illumination in that legislation. Without
help from any leader of the party, and
against the most agonizing efforts of Re-
publican politicians generally, the legis-
laton which alone had kept the south to-
gether, often against interest and reason,
was finally ended-a most fortunate and
righteous outcome, as more than one Re-
publican oracle has openly declared, and
which for the first time disenthrslls the
fairest portion of this land, making it
free indeed.
1t is the conviction in the public mind
that the Republican party is hopelesslv
sectional, which is so fatal to its growth
or continuance in power. 1t is still mas
terful in invention and cunning even to
desperation. 1t may therefore win bat
ties again, but it can never win the war
of reason and f,irness that is now on
for only out of the uplifting of a whole
people into peace and prosperity can
come the issues of a nations or a partys

SHAMEFUL sEcTIONALIsn

The average Republican editor IS
good citizen and good man. He has.
however, one fault that mars his Other
wise all around excellence. He is SO mar
row in his views OF national policy that,
all unconsclously, perhaps. he is hope
lessIy sectional and unpstriotic. lie is
clothed with sectional hatred as with a
garment. For instance, not many days
ago near contemporary published the
following editorial paragraph:
The output of the southern cotton mills
this season will be 20 per cent greater
than that vi last year. Cotton manufac
turing is promising industry IN the
south. Had not such been the case it
would not have received such liberal pro-
lection as was accorded it in the German
Wilson tariff.
1t is OF small account that no special
help tn the south was either intended or
conferred by the recent tariff it is of
small account that there was no ''liberal
protection to any interest in that hill;
it is OF small account that the cotton
manufacturing in the south IS. and for
some time to come must be, small By
comparison with the rest of the country
it is of small account that even if the
south were thus helped it is not the old
south, nor its local SUCCESSORS, but new
generation of men transpanted from the
north, who are dong all this new manu-
featuring industries transferred fIom
some New England state just as the great
ron works of Boston went bodily to Biz
mingham; it is of small account, in a
word, that the paragraph above cited has
no pertinence In point of fact nor found
alton in reason: but it is of great account
that it is part of the stereotyped litera-
ture OF great party which is absolutely
without power or purpose to justice to
the people at large.
If this narrow and dwarfed conceit
