Mr. Palmer and the Tariff.
Congressman BROUSSARD, of Louisiana,
who aspired to a place on the committee
on Ways and Means, in the next Con- |
gress, has bolted the caucus, according !
to Washington dispatches, because his
hopes and ambitions have been disap-
pointed. Mr. BROUSSARD is a protectionist
and wanted a seat in the committee in
order to embarrass the Democratic pro-
gramme of revising the tariff downward.
“Having labored successfully for the pro-
tection of Louisiana interests in the pres-
ent tariff” he declares, “he will hold him-
self free to defend them from hostile
tinkering.” The interests of the sugar
planters and timber growers in the State
in which he lives is of more importance
to him than those in the entire country.
Commenting upon this political phenom-
ena an esteemed Philadelphia contem-
porary, predisposed to favor the “inter-
ests,’ observes: “It may be expected that
Representative A. M. PALMER, the one
Pennsylvania Democrat on the commit-
tee, will be not less loyal to the interests
of his State.” No one who knows Mr.
PALMER expects that he will be recreant
to his obligations to the people of Penn-
sylvania or the party which has signally
honored him. The iniquitous tariff of
the present and past may promote the
profits of a few individuals of Pennsylva-
nia but it does so at the expense of a vast
majority of the people who are taxed in-
ordinately to fatten these favorites. But
itis no part of Mr. PALMER'S duty to
prolong or perpetuate the injustice.
The only tariff taxation that is recog-
nized by the constitution or tolerated by
the principles of justice is that which
provides necessary revenue for the gov-
ernment. If such tariff taxation inciden-
tally affords protection to industries, well
and good. It is a circumstance against
which there can be no valid complaint.
But a tariff laid for the purpose of ena-
bling manufacturers to put fictitious
values upon, or charge exorbitant prices,
for products that are necessary for the
health and comfort of the people is rob-
bery and those responsible for it are no
better than burglars or highwaymen.
Hon. A. MITCHELL PALMER is not
among this class and is not disloyal on
that account.
——Everybody who knows anything
about the subject will be glad to learn
that the change in the political complex-
ion of Congress will relegate J. A. T.
HuLL,of Iowa, who has been chairman of
the committee of Military Affairs of the
House for sixteen years, io the scrap-pile-
But the incident didn’t occur until after
Mr. Hurt had forced the promotion of
his son, Lieutenant Colonel HULL, so that
he is now the youngest Colonel in the
army by fifteen years. In other words
this Congressional grafter has been mak-
ing family hay in the sunshine to beat
the band.
There is a widespread and urgent
demand for an extra session of Congress
for the purpose of revising the tariff
downward but it is not likely to prove
effective. The President doesn’t want to
take away from the tariff pensioners the
graft which influences them to make
campaign contributions any sooner than
necessary. There is a year of good steal-
ing in the ALDRICH tariff law if it is per-
mitted to stand until the regular session of
the Sixty-second Congress and it is a safe
guess that President TAFT will not inter-
fere with the flow of the golden stream.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.

Joseph Ceader’s lunchon, which was given
Wednesday at noon.
——Governor Tener on Tuesday ap-
pointed Dr. Clarence J. Marshall, of the

Mills, this county, sixty-four years ago, farm near Curtin where the subject of
being one of a family of five children: this notice spent practically his entire
His boyhood life was spent on the farm
and his early education was received in
the public schools and the Pine Grove
Academy. Later he attended a law school
and upon his graduation therefrom went
into the law office of William A. Wallace,
of Clearfield. From that distinguished
barrister he not only gained many valu-
able points in the practice of his profes-
sion but got his first lessons in the great
battle of politics. When Mr. Wallace was
elected to the United States Senate in
1875 the bulk of the firm's practice fel}
upon the shoulders of Mr. Krebs and he
sized up to the position most manfully.
He had been a resident of Clearfield only
a few years when he became quite a lead-
ing factor in the politics of that county
and in 1883 he was nominated by the
the Democratic party as candidate for
judge. He won out with a good majority
and served a term of ten years, from the
first Monday of January, 1884, to the first
Monday of January, 1894. He was re-
nominated in 1893 but was sold out by
some of his own party followers and was
defeated at the election by Cyrus Gordon.
When the Beech Creek railroad was
built and Hon. William A. Wallace be-
came heavily involved Judge Krebs lost
a small fortune, in fact was left almost
penniless, but it only resulted in him ap-
plying himself more closely to the prac-
tice of his profession with the result that
he made big money and accumulated
quite a handsome fortune. He was one
of the oldest and ablest lawyers at the
Clearfield county bar and had a reputa-
tion as a jurist that was State-wide. He
was always a staunch Democrat of the
reform type but broadminded and liberal
in his views. He was a member and elder
of the Clearfield Presbyterian church.
His wife was a daughter of the late
Hon. William A. Wallace, his former law
partner, and she survives with two daugh-
ters and two sons, as follows: Mrs.
Alfred M. Liveright and Mrs. James K.
Horton, both of Clearfield, and whose
husbands were both partners of their
father-in-law; Wallace Krebs, treasurer
of the Ebensburg Trust company, and
David L. Krebs, Jr, a student at Yale
University. He was the last surviving
member of his father’s family.
The remains were taken from Phila-
delphia to his late home in Clearfield,
where the funeral will be held to-
morrow (Saturday) morning at eleven
o'clock.

BELL.—Andrew George Bell, a son of
the late C. C. Bell, of Huntingdon, but
formerly of this place, died at his home
in that place last Saturday night of tu-
berculosis. Though he had been a suffer-
er with the dread disease for three years
or longer he was confined to his room
less than a month and had been in bed
but three days.
Deceased was born at Aaronsburg, this
county, and was 28 years, 9 months and
9 days old. When he was a boy his par-
ents moved to this place and here is
where he got his early education. Four-
teen years ago his father was appointed
to the position of superintendent of ma-
sonry and brick laying in the Huntingdon
reformatory and moved to that town.
After completing his education the sub-
ject of this notice also took to bricklay-
ing and followed that occupation as long
as his health would permit, his last work
being with the Bayer—Beaver company.
Deceased was united in marriage to Miss
Jessie Kline about three years ago and
their only child died when about six
months old, so that Mrs. Bell is now not
only a widow but childless. His father,
C. C. Bell, died about eighteen months
ago but surviving him, in addition to his
wife are his mother, three brothers and
one sister, namely: John R., C. Earl, and
Mrs. Frank Patton, of Huntingdon, and
H. H. Bell, of Coatesville.
He was a member of the Reformed
church and Rev. D. E. Master had charge
of the services at the funeral which was

IRVIN.—On Wednesday afternoon of
last week Mrs. Harry E. Irvin died at her
home at Bald Eagle of septicemia. Her
maiden name was Miss Della E. Lewis
and she was born at Bald Eagle in No-
vember, 1890, hence was only a little past
twenty years of age. She was united
in marriage to Harry E. Irvin less than a
year ago and only a week before her
| death became the mother of a little daugh-
| ter, who survives with her husband and
mother, Mrs. Annie Lewis. She was a
member of the Bald Eagle Methodist
church and Rev. Clarence Ake, of Port
Matilda, officiated at the funeral services
which were held on Saturday morning,

life and where he died. He was educated
in the public schools of Boggs township
and when he grew to manhood engaged
in farming and lumbering and as a side
issue took to crying public sales, in which
he was quite successful. Naturally this
brought him into close association with
people all over the county so that he en-
joved a very wide acquaintanceship and
was held in high esteem everywhere. He
served as school director in Boggs town-
ship a number of years. He was a good
citizen in every way, a man whom any
community could ill afford to lose. All his
life he was a member of the Methodist
church and lived uprightly and honest.
He was united in marriage on May
24th, 1860, to Miss Margery E. Sanders,
at Milesburg. They had twelve children
eleven of whom survive, as follows: Dr.
James W. Neff, of Enders, Pa.; George

CAPT. RUNKLE'S VERSION OF His RE-
QUESTED RESIGNATION.—Capt. George P.
i Runkle, of the schoolship Adams, arrived
{in Bellefonte on Sunday morning and
| was a guest at the Brachbill home until
Wednesday. Capt. Runkle returned from
his first cruise as commander of the
schoolship several weeks ago, about three
weeks overdue, and at the time it was
given out that the ship had encountered
{ heavy storms at sea which had been the
cause of its delay. Last Wednesday's
Philadelphia papers stated that certain
charges had been preferred against Cap-
tain Runkle and that his resignation had
been asked for by the directors of the
Pennsylvania Nautical School. When at
home on Monday Capt. Runkle stated
that the charges had been preferred by
two of his officers, older in sea service
than he, and that they were inspired
through jealousy. That the matter had
been given a thorough investigation and
i would be finally threshed out on Thurs-
day (yesterday) when he felt confident
of being vindicated and the request for
his resignation withdrawn. Owing to the
WATCHMAN going to press last night the
result of yesterday's proceedings could
not be learned, but it is hoped Capt. Run-
kle’s confidence in being vindicated was
not without foundation.
