He was for several years Professor OF

He has studied at the best institutions IN

Rev. George T. Gray. senior chaplain
of the institute, has been I'm bad con-
dition physically for some time. Recent
" there has developed an ugly-looking
place on his face, that his friends are
afraid may prove to be a cancerous
growth. Like many another good man
of God, his worldly possessions are small
so his friends and admirers OF the in
stitute raised a handsome purse for him,
and this week he left for Cincinnati,
where he will consult a specialist, re-
naming under his care for six weeks.
Readers OF the Dispatch will remember
him as a prominent figure when the
cadets attended the naval review In Nor
folk and the laying Of the cornerstone
of the Davis monument in Richmond.
He went down with the cadets in full
uniform, and though repeatedly invited
by the good people Of these cities TO come
TO their houses, he refused, and remained
i'm camp with the cadets, sharing their
fare and accommodations.

IGNORING THE HOME PAPER.

Journalism in San Francisco is on
the country constantly seeking write
ups. The journals Of San Francisco
seldom say anything favorable to the
advantages Of any portion of the
State without being paid as a write
up. We are in possession Of a vast
range Of facts on this subject, which
justifies US ia the statement that San
Francisco journalism does nothing in
the interior without pay Record
Union.
The above is true and if the Record
Union will follow this lead it will
make some startling discoveries.
Yet the people Of small country towns
will throw money at a big city paper
the year round which if spent at home
would make the homo paper, which
always advertises its own section, a
money making, Influential and much
sought for journal.
The better the home paper, the better
for the town it is published ia.

The New York Times hits the hail

The New York Times hits the bail
on the head when it says:
"If President Mckinley's message
and MIR. Dingley's Tariff bill had
been put before the people three days
before the election Of last November
they would have put the sound money
cause in the gravest peril. The Demo
cratic o,e which elected Mr.. McKin-
ley were won and kept by false pre-
lenses. He was elected to defend the
financial stability of the country, and
he has no defensive measures to pro-
pose. He was not elected to revise the
tariff, but his first act is to force upon
the country a tariff that is fragrant IN
its protective atrocities. An admins
tration which starts off with an act OF
bad faith toward the people has made
a poor beginning.

"a Chicago museum manager is said

Agriculture and mining are the
fundamental resources OF the world
and all industries be they great or
small must be finally subservient to
them and unless healthy condition
obtains in these two immense factors
in our human economy neither can it
be possible in any OF their deriva-
tives. For the past thirty years this
government has been controlled in the
main by the classes who made money
by using all the immense power that
is in Legislation to debase these only
great factors and make part greater
than the whole. Speculation and
Trust combinations have controlled
and cheapened the product of the
soil in the possession of those who
produce them, and at the instance of
the same class the second mineral
resource Of the world is destroyed by
the selfish inhuman destruction of
silver mining.

done early next month. This is the
first year Harris orchard has borne
for market, and the yield will be
about 80 tons. Harold & Moulton
are buying all the marketable prunes
and peaches there is for sale and
will ship a good many car loads from

for home demand and surplus of ex-
port. Stock on the ranges is in good
condition and the demand still con.
tinues to be in excess of supply. And
when the harvest time is over the
work of rounding up and gathering
cattle will commence, and business
in this line will be active. And ow
ing to the unfortunate condition o.
other countries it now looks as though
prices would be fairly good.
