Hunt, one of its earlist members, has been removed by deuth, therefore: Itesolved, Tnat we, the niembers of the Clioral Union, most deeply deplore the loss of one who was amoug the founders of the society, wdo has froin the tirst been untiring in her devotion to its interest, to whose retiued musical taste und earneet euthusiasm it oweB no small part of lts success in itn advauuement and in the inoreaaed interest of the public in musical art. liesolved, That we place on record our heartfelt appreciatiou of the churaoier of our deceased associate as u lady of truly noble spirit of a large general culture and eminent domestic nud social virtueu; whose loss will be feit not lees in the large circle of frieuds both in the army and in civil hfe, than by us who will ever cienwh and honor her meinoiyasone whose Iobh to us is irreparable .

K. DePont. L. L. Winbs. The Philadelphia Record publishes a list of the persons who were reported to the pólice as missing last ear, and the number reaches 600. Among those who "myHteriouly disappeared" were flfty-six bet ween the ages of 12 and 21, and beventyfour boys, aged f rom 12 to 20, the otiiera being adulta. What a field for dark imagination of glooniy speculation the faots provide. The millionaire rulers of the republican machine have learned something. Having made the laws for 20 years by which eapital has robbed labor,' they have learued that the people propose to kick. They got an inkling of it ia Michigan in 1882, and auotiier in 1884. In 185 they were fully convmced when they saw the one armed Major mount the oolsack. Nnw tht-.y gathered tbo clans from far and near to talk it over at the nnk in Detroit. "By thunder, somethinu must be done,'they 'said with one voice. And forthwith they dished outjaffy to the boys in the most royal hungry workingman.- Lausing Journal. "It may be assumed that tüere won't be iniicli crape on the republican door wheu iáamuel J. Tilden pases away." Eepubliean pipera are publishing the above with apparent approval and gusto. No doubt they ill wjii him dead aad uut of sight and memory. Tilden is a constant remiuder to tlieni of their great crime aaiuMt him, and against sovereignty of the peopla and their will as expressed at tne ballet box; but these republicana ueed not üatter themselvea that Tilden will be out of memory when dead; he will ouly be rememberd the more; and this memory will grow more and more bitter to the mis of those who did to Liberty and Tilden so great a wrong. - Fort Madison Deniocrat. Every laborer in America ought to be a capitalist; at least, to some alight extent, aud almost every healthy American laborer might be a capitalist, but he must become winer than he is to-day. He must learn to be industrioua, get nd of his viceH, aud must not waste his wages. He must come to such control of his own individuality that will be a free partner in a free contract, able on his own account, to accept or refuse the terms offered him. In some way, labor must organized on one hand capital on the other, so that they can stand facing each other as free, friendly, self-controlling, independent powers. Theu they can peacefully settle the problema that threaten their peace and their prosperity. The outcome, it seems to me, of human historj , so far as the problems of labor, as well as all departments of life, are concerued, is to be this rise of individual into free, personal self-control.- Kev. M. J. Savafce, of Boston. The prosperty of the country dependa largely upon ïts commercial intercourse with other nations in dispoBing of itb producís The United otates difiera from almost any other country, in the 'act that it has more vaned industries for its peopele. All industries should be equally encouraged. iso country can very well live on ltself. That is, people cannot prosper by an interchange of ;heir labor one with another. There are always certain articles that every country miiHt procure from other nalions and other people. The niaases of the people of this country labor in producing our exports, breadstulla, cotton, oil, etc. If we aell tue product of ihese industries, we must get the produot of some other abor. Any national legislation of other countriea that preveuts the sale of home jroducts, causes lower prices to the setler. Any home legislation that binders ;he importation of the exchange products, ncreas.es the price of that commodity to he purchaser hei e. If therefore, every uatiou walled iteelf in with the defence of a high tariff, what would be the effect ou the people? As it is now, the farmer of America han to pay tribute on every maiiufactured article he buys, simply to protect industries, yet bas to take lower prices for his products, because the home demaud does not equal the aupply. Germán tariff for instance shuts out the American wheat. And the American tariü' shuts out the Germán mauufactured kooiIh, and the American farmer holds his wheat, and goes without the goods, while the Uerman laborer keep his manufacturen, and goes hungry all because of tariff betwe'.n the two countries. In one case it injures the farmer aud in the other it ruins the laborer.- Adrwn Press.
