te overflowing and many persons were nn
able te Ksln admission. Oa the stage weie
tested prominent members el the Demc Demc
rratle party and the speaker et the evening.
The parquet was well filled with ladles who
showed a great Interest In the discussion.
Alter music by the bsnd Frank H. Wilsen
eslled the meeting te order by stating that
"we have gathered here te hear the tssuea
of the campaign discussed by a well known
gentleman, In answer te a petition signed
by 200 werklngmen, Democrats snd Repub
licans, and all are anxious te hear the ad

H. M. Simple, secretary of the meeting!
read the list el elHcara of the meeting, Wm,
B. Given, ecq., as chairman, with a long
list of vlee presidents and secretaries.
Mr. Qlvttu wss introduced and said : "I
tmnet unmltdtulef theh'gh honor con.
terred en me when asked te preside ever
this great assemblage of my fellow citizens.
We are In stirring times and en Tuesday
12,000,000 of freemen will decide by suffrage
Inte whose hands the government will be
given for four years mere. We will prac
tically d eel Je the line of administration.
The day which saw the entry of drover
Cleveland tn the presidential ens r marked
a new epejh la our peUtlsat history. The
political past Is dead. The great questions
cf slavery and soetionsl strife have
been settled by the sword. Today
we have new Issues just ai Impor
tant as the questions gene before.
We should be proud of the Demoeratlo
party. It Is ce-cxIUent with the American
republic. The Demoeratlo party fought
every foreign war successfully. It Is a
fatty wlles can tout of Jetleisen, Madlseu,
JaoKcen, Meade and Hancock. Te-night
new Issues present themselves. On the
lssuea of the hour the campaign will be de
cided. As a young mau I speak te the
young men. Their true place In this cam
paign Is with the Democratic party. It was
Bplendld in the past, and te-day is a party
of progress. The candidate of the party ap
peals te the young man. Cleveland resi
from a peer boy te be meyer.Bherlll, governor
and president. The young man cueuld lay
aside partisan prejudice and join the ranks
et the Democrats. It Is the parly, true and
tried, of the werklngman. Tue contract
labor bill, the work et the Republican party
In 1SC1, was repealed under Cleveland ; tte
Chlnesojexcluslou bill wm also t'ie work of
his parly."
MR 1IKNSRIS HKCEPTION.
When Mr, Hensel arcse te speak he was
greeted with terrific applause, lasting
several minutes. People rose from their
seats and the npplause was quieted with
difficulty. The speaker started by address
ing his audience : "Ladles and gentlemen,
werklngmen of Columbia and white men
Fer," said he, " I regret that our friends
the enemy felt such apprehension, lest some
fancied charm In this peer voice of mine
should mislead their colored friends, that
they have cerralled them all in the rink te
listen te wit aud wisdom, eloquenee and
elegance from Columbia's distinguished
soldier, Mi. J or Uenerul Jeseph Warren
Yoeuin, ami her no lesi distinguished
statesman Hen, Chrlstnpher Columbua
KanQmnn."
Mr. Hentelsatd be weu'd have te lake
some of the tluie et his audience which
ought te be appropriated te better purpoies
te answering cerUlu Irrelevant and scatter
ing questions propounded by Editor
Yoeuui, of the Spy, and ex Senater Lee in
his speech of .-Saturday evening. These
questions hsd been revised and altered se
elten that some et the later editions the
speaker had net seen. As for the Spy, Its
fabrication of alleged oxtraeta from the
Saokvllle-West letter that were net con
tained In It at all showed the wertblessness
of wasting time en inquiries from that
auuiee.
As for Senater l.ee'a inquires as te when
the speaker had been "converted" en the
taritl and why he lett "Randall's camp,"
Mr. Hensel ssld It was enough for him te
say he bad never changed his views en the
tirltf question; for fltteen years he had held
the eatne views be expressed new and no
man In Penney Ivania knew that better than
Mr. Rindall. As te Lee's n-julrleswby
one article In the Mills bill was higher
or lower than another it aeemed hardly
relevant te the lssue,slnce the same and far
greater 'Irregularities exist both In the
present Republican tarlll and In the pro
posed Henate bill. With a higher duly en
Bibles than en ginger beer, and four times
the tax en caster oil that Is levied en ostrleh
plumes, he could net see what Lee's In
quiries about the relative taritl en rice and
potatoes, granite and marble had te de with
the case, especially when the present Re -
Eubllcan tarltr puts a higher tax than the
Mils bill en both sugar ana rlee. As for
cotton ties for the white and black planter
la the Featb, tbey ware put en
the free lint, but se wis the raw
material for 33,000 teiiR of twlnn whleh
the Northern farmer used te bind his har
vest sheaves and tie his grain bags. Mr,
l.ee'a questions would be met In the regu
lar course et the argument. Mr. Hensel
proceeded te combat the theory that high
protection makes high wages by laying
down the following ten prepositions, each
of which he copiously illustrated and con
firmed by an array of faeta and figures and
profuse quotations from leading Republi
can authors and statesmen.
1. The excess of wages in proteetcd
America ever free trade England Is net
nearly se great as It was when United
States bad free trade and England had high
tarlll.
2 England's abandonment of high taritl
bad greatly strengthened her manufactures
and vastly Improved the oendttion of her
werklngmen.
3 In Eurepe tbe cheapest " pauper
labor " Is found with tbe highest pretec
tien ; and everywhere the higher the tarlu
the lower the wages. In this country wage
reductions had followed taritl Increase and
i'it'4 versa.
4 There is mere dllierence between the
wages In the several auctions of this coun
try than between this country and Kog Keg
land. 6. The highest wages here are found In
unprotected Industries, the lowest In pro
tected industries.
0. The most frequent labor strikes, lock
outs and suspensions are found In pre
lected Industrie?.
7. The Inequalities of home and foreign
wsgCB are chleily due te the greater
etllcteney of American werklngmen, better
machinery and their lenger hours of tell.
8. Tie addltlonetrawmaterlalstotbofree
list will give American manutecturers what
they meat want and need; It will iclve mere
work and better wages te American work werk
lngmen. and it will open new and widen
the foreign markets for American produe s
9 The ltei u'jlkans In Cern-rues In lse7,
lb72 and 1S32 proposed and favored deaper
cuts Inte the taritl than tbe Mills bill makes;
and nearly all the leading Republicans,
especially Grant, Arthur, Uarrleld, Legan,
Humner, Wilsen, Kelley, Dawcf, Hale,
Morten snd scores et ethers had at times
voted for and lustily supported additions te
the free list and reductions of the duties

Ufen iLise ten prepositions Mr. Hensel
argutd for nearly two hours and a half,
during which time scarcely a man, woman
or eblld et the 1.&00 te 3.000 packed Inte the
house stirred from his or her teat or stand stand

2ie band therefrem marched te the outside
T 'be opera beuse, and pUrM lepg ud
loud, In the vain cirert te drown the speak
er's voice or te dampen the enthusiasm of
the audience.
When the speaker quoted the Republi
can candidate for elector at large, Tbe.
Delan, (or free carpet wool ; Senater Alii
son, Grant and Kelley. Arthur and Felger
for free wool s Levi 1. Morten for tree
salt and Garfield for that protection which
led Immediately te free trade, the crowd
cheered te the echo. The humorous ex.
pesure of the Inconsistencies of the Repub
licans In protecting the American sheep,
while the geed gray geese was left In their
tarlll hill te the mercies et free feathers, "
the American poultry yard exposed te the
free competition of pauper Canadian hens
and the industrious bee In this oenntv sub
jected te free beeswax from the Italian
hive wss greeted with shouts of laugh
ter. The depletion of the beneficial ef
fects of free leather, free raw silk, free
quinine and free v smith gums was atten
tively followed. The plea ter a restoration
of American shipping snd cemmeice
was listened te with suspense broken
by wild arplanse ; and when Mr.
Hensel told hew, as seen as the Repub
lican Senate Increased the tax en bunting
for the American lUg from 60 te 00 percent.
Bunting Ben Butler started te stump
Michigan for Harrison, the applause was se
deafening tbat the speaker could hardly
rcauma It broke out sgaln when he told
hew aa seen as Butler's ebattge or base was
announeed the Republican papers whleh
had denounced him, when he ran as a
Democrat for governor In 1882, as "a
cook-eyed spoon tblef," threw up their
hats In praise et "gallant, glorious, old J
uen uutier,"
In conclusion Mr. Hensel said he had
net come te Columbia te solicit voles for
his party. He was content te rest the Issue
of the campaign upon the Intelligence and
Integrity et the werklngmen of the country.
He took pride however tn reading a letter
from Chairman Brlce spurning the request
te send money te buy the votes of
New Yerk railroaders ; and by con
trast he read the letter el instruction
from Quay's committee te the Indiana
chairman te group the " floaters " in
" Heeks of five and put them In obarge of a
man with Innda who would see that none
get away. " A week has elapsed," said the
speaker slowly and with emphasis " since
the dlsolesuro of this Infamous preposition
from Mr. Harrison's personal representative
and yet Chairman Quay has net given Dud
ley his passports nor has Candidate Harrl Harrl
rlsen asked for bis recall." With these last
words a storm of enthusiasm swept ever
the hall and at 10:10 the meeting rose te its
feet with cheers for Cleveland and Thur
man, 0)1, COO Fer the Stiech Llb-arj.
At the eutret of his speech Mr. Hensel
read the following, literally the first edi
torial In the Columbia Spy of Nev. 3 :
Tbe alleged dls iilietil of Lord fackcleth, by
the president, detsn't change the main faet
tint be was lu favor el Cleveland's re flectien,
or his ntber atn'ement ttat "the president's
retaliation message was merely for political
effect,"
Mr. Hensel said the purport of this pub
lication was te Impose upon the readers of
the Spy the belief that the quotation given
was a llteral extract from the Sackvtlle
West letter. He prcdueed a lithograph
copy of the letter ; and offered te give 500
te the Sbech library if anybody would
find that exti act In It.
Of oeurae It is net there ; and nothing
like It.
Te-day Editor Yocum tries te crawl out
of the hole In which this places him by
eflerlng f 1,000 te the library " If he (Hen
sel) or any ether man, will produce a copy
et the Spy containing any extract or quota
tion freui the Hackvllle letter, published n
the Sjiy as such, and preve tbat it is net an
exact, literal, truthful and verbatim quota
tion as It appeared In the big city dailies."
The Intelligent reader ean see for hlmsell
whether or net the Spy's editorial contain
ing the fcrged quotations was Intended te
oenvoy tbe false Impression that It was
contained In the letter.

Dr. David Uetetter, the millionaire

HICKTLHt OP DR. 1I0STK rTKTt
David Hestetter was born In Eist Hemp
field township, Lancaster county, January
23, 1610. His great grandfather, Jaeoe
HeMettcr, settled In Laucaster county In

erected a tubetantlal stone beuse whleh Is
still owned by bis lineal descendants.
Jacob Hestetter occupied ever COO acres of
weeds and meadows, aud lett 320 acres te
his sci', also named Jacob Hestettcr, who
was born In 1752 and died in 1823
The soeond Jacob Uestetter disinherited
his third seu because of his disloyalty te
the American cause during the war of 1S12,
his father and uncle being etauneh aup
Sorters of the government. The father or
lavld Hostetter, Jacob Hostetter, M, D,
was born April 13tb, 1701, graduated at the
Jcllersen Medical college, became widely
known as an able praotltlenor, and died
March 20th, 1859. David Hostetter wss

In 1812 he Legan tbe drygoeda busi

eear. April 15, 1850, he went te Califor

.laitlcB WlllUina' Opinion ueclarlng It In'
couatttutleUMl.
Justice Williams lu Pittsburg en Mon
day banded down two opinions in the huIU
of the Tltusvllle ireu works vs. tbe Key
stone OU company and Gearing vs. Uap
g03d, declaring the mechanic's lieu law
unconstitutional.
Tbe court sayn : "The controlling ques
tion In the case Is en tbe cnnstltutluuHllty
of tbe act et January 17, 1837, entitled "An
act relating te the Hun el mechanics and
ethers upon buildings." It undertakes te
change the construction et tbe aeta et 1830
and 1815 In regard te tbe pereens embraced
within thelr previsions. The courts bad
given Judicial construction te the acts of
1839 and 1815 In a series of well -considered
case. They had uniformly held tbat te
entltle a mechanic or a material man te
a lien upon a building for work done or
material furnished, it was necessary tbat
the work or material for which a Hen was
claimed should have beeu dene or furnished
en the basis of a contract, expressed or Im
plied, with the owner, and en the credit of
the building. Werk done for and material
furnished te a sub-contractor, and work
done by Journeymen and laborers did net
autbems the eutry of a Hen by tbe In
dividual laborer, or by him who dealt with
a Bub contractor.
"The object of the legtBlature In passing
tbe act et 1887 was te change tbe law In
such manner as te extend te aud confer upon
all laborers and mechanics whose clalmi
amounted te 10 and upwards, by whom
ever employed, and te all material men, no
matter upon wbose order tbe material was
furnished, tbe same right te a separate Hen
as was enjoyed by theae who were under
tbe protection of tbe acts of 1830 and 1845 as
declared constitutional by the courts. The
method adopted for making thlH change In
the law was net by the passage of an act ex
tending the rleht te a lieu for work and
materials te the new clieies, but by a di
rection te the ceurlB te construe the acts of
183(3 and 1845 In such manner as te Include
tbe no if classes within thelr previsions.
"Tbe constitution provides, In station 0,
et act 111 that ' Ne law shall be revised,
amended, exiendtd or conferred by a reftr
ence te its title only, but se much thereof
as Is revised, amended, etc, shall be re
enacted and published at length.' The tct
of 1887 extends or confers the benefits el the
acts of 1830 and 1815 te a large class of claim
ants without the re enactment of a elngle
one of the previsions of tbe acts se extended
and by relerence te their ietter only. It
would be difficult te imaglne a plainer vio
lation of the constitutional prevision. Thu
act of 1887 is a judleial erder or decree di
rected te the courts. It undertakes te give
a new and final Interpretation of the acts
of 1830 bnd 1615, aud dtructi tbe courts te
adept that Interpretation tn all cases tbat
may ceme before tbem. 1 he eurt below Is
therefore ordered te enter into Judgment
against tbe defendant."

It says: "The poeplo et Canada

it Is doubtful new whether Mr. Cleveland,

there Is quite as geed ground ler believing

unusually fine, the best we have had In
years, The pear, peach and grape crops
were only ordinary.
Mr. Llnvllle reported that the wbeat In

wet when the wheat was sewed aud it took
two weeks te ceme up, when It was ex.

of wheat
Mr. Eegle said he had been In eorrepon

Mr. Smeych exhibited a poaeh tree,
whose roots and top were all right, but
the main body of the tree was dead. There
are many such trees In the county, and the
members thought that tbe matter should

A dcz?n years back, comparatively few
school houses In this county had mounted
en their reef the large district bell which
new rings morning, neon and evening,
from tbe school house In every neighbor
hood of the outlre county. What was a
novelty tn the community at first gradual
ly grew Inte a necessity ; aud new the bell
en the rural tchoel heuse is there te stay.
A few decades age, little heed was given te
the matter of having water for drinking
and general puroseBeu the school prem
ises'. Every purpoae was answered If it
could be obtained atone of tbe neighboring
beuses. Distance and bad reads were con
sidered only lu se far as te select the place
nearest tbe school, whether a quarter or a
half mile awuy, with little or no reference
te Its luconveuleuce. Slowly a change took
place, beginning and spreading with the
efierts of districts in various parta of the
county te supply echoels with water en
their own grounds; and two townships,
Salisbury and Leacock, have taken held of
this improvement lu an organized way, lu
both townships the directors have supplied
ulue of their thirty oue tchoels with
cemented cisterns, Blatchley pump, cast cast
Iren troughs and ether nvcetHsry equip

the echoel room. The refreshing souse of
enjeymeut aud health which this home

that thu schools wM all eventually hate
