The Judgeship "figh:"in Lawrence coun ty continues to grow in interest. Carson «t Pry or, proprietors ot the Courant, a Re publican paper, disagreed as to the pa per's course and Pryor bought out Carson and came out for Martin. The Sexes, anotbor Republican paper, published a ta ble lately showing that more votes were counted for Wallace at the primaries in New Castle, than the combined Republi can aud Democratic vote of the town. The political cauldron in Clarion county is boiling merrily as the election, approaches Tiie Clarion JackJtonian, one ot the organs of the Dam emtio party in that county, has created somewhat ot a sensation by bolting its party candidates for Congress and State Senate—Hon. Aaron Williams and W. H. Hyde. President Cleveland left New York last Thursday and returned to Washington. He refused to register in New York and so cannot vote, and also refused to say anything or do anything for Hill. Warner Miller presided at a Republian mass meeting in the city Thursday night, and Chauncy M. Depew was the principal speaker. Depew is billed for forty speeches in the state, this week and next, and Mc- Kinley made some speeches in that state last week. Piatt expects Morton to carry *he state by 100,000. McKinley will speak at Erie, Friday evening. Hastings spoke to a large audience at Chester, Thursday evening, afterwards to a large audience in Industrial Hall in Philadelphia, and accepted Singerley's challenge to trade audiences at Norristown Saturday of this week. Reed spoke to an immense audience at tho exposition building in St. Louis, Mon day night. McKinley addressed seventeen audi ences in Illinois, Monday, speaking t» no less than 150,000 people during the day. It looks odd to see a squib like this in a Clarion Co. paper.— "What district in Clarion county will give the largest Republican majority?" Judge Wickham, of Beaver, decided that Jackson Davis and not Solomon Hoch was the Democratic nominee of Armstrong Co. ior Jury Commissioner. The political and social situation in New Castle, Pa., haft reached what in medical phrase would be termed an acute stage. Mayor Alexander Richardson bad been forced to resign his office, although his term has one year and five months to rnn. The incident leading to this step is briefly this: An Italian who was before the May or was assured that by the payment oftloO. he could escape the penalty for a misde meandor. The prisoner "paid the money, but he was conv cted and served a term in the Allegheny workhouse. On being re leased he brought suit against the Mayor for the $l5O. The Mayor has made virtual confession by resigning. Now, Richard ion was the right hand man of D. H. Wal lace in manipulating the primaries and se coring for hitn the Republican nomination for President Judge. Indignation against Wallace is running high. Two New Castle dailies, the Courant and the AVi ex, both Republican, have bolted Wallace and are supporting his opponent, J. Norman Mar tin, and Wallace has been denounced by the U. P- Beaver Valley Presbytery.— Franklin New*. In a speech at Carnegie. Tuesday night, John Dalzell said that Bill's course in Congress showed that be was the biggest man in the Democratic party, bat that this tall would show him he was not big enough to be again elected Governor of New York. TSe only way to prevent a repeti tion of the recent distress was to elect a Republican Cong reft s "I'm not going to say anything about the governorship elec tion," be continuen; "everybody knows Gen. Bastings will win by an unprecedent ed majority, but I want to see the opening of the Filty-fourtb Congress, over which Thomas B. Keed will preside, a full dele gation of 30 Congressmen from Pennsylva nia. Tuuy will stand for protection for the people. Come out and vote for your candidate in this district." Barrison and Morton addressed an im mense aadience at New York, Wednesday evening. In his speech Barrison referred very strongly to the municipal corruption and debauchery that have been made pub lic there. Alarming irregularities in the registry lists of New Castle have been discovered. Judge Hnzen has summoned the county commissioners and registry assessors to ap pear before bim Thursday afternoon and show cause why 155 names should not be stricken from the lists in the Second pre cinct, First ward, and 46 in the Fourth ward If the same ratio of irregularity is found in other precincts the list will amount to about 700 ov. r the real number of voters. Triumphant Japan Japan has struck another sturdy blow at the prestige, and therefore at tho stability of the Chinese Empire. Ci>uat Yam victory at Kiu-Lien-Cheog, form* a fitting sequel to the triumph of hi* arms at Pings Yang. On thin occasion, however, the re sistance encountered was absurdly slight. Tho Chinese appear to have become utter ly demoralized on the approach of the enemy, and they were routed and slaugh tered with the greatest ease. The way seems now completely opened for a march upon Moukden. Judging from the melancholy exhibition made by the Chinese troops on the frontier, where a de termined stand would natural!.} have been expected, Count Yamagata is not likely to meet with much hindrance on the way. Th«u, with the fall of Moukden and the re daction of Port Arthur and Wei-Hai-IVei whose garrisons are already flying Irom them, tho cup of China's humilation will be auificiently full. Should internal dis ruption not result from this succession of national disasters and the present Empire of China still oxist, Japan will.be able, if not interfered with by the greater Powers, to impose upon her rival what terms she proposes. THE leading Prohibitionists (IF the coun ty were somewhat agitatfcd last week when they discovered that their county ticket had not been certified to the S«Vy of toe Commonwealth, and consequently will not appear on the Official Ballot, r*OTECTION IN* ENGLAND. Walter Besant, the well known Euffllsh novelist, has been looking Into Britain 9 trade policy and Is not pleased with it. In a well directed attack upon free trade fal lacies ho roused Inquiry and forced Blr A. KayShuttleworth and Sir J. Hibbert to aJmit that a great sum of public money *ent abroad for supplies which could bo produced at home. Mr. Besant brought to light many things not generally known. The Danes furnish more than half the pork used in the British navy; lubricating oil is supplied from America; boilers were re cently brought from France and nsed in equipping gunboats. Hent wood chairs, which oould bo easily manufactured in England, are imported from America; the British fleet is supplied with Danish but ter, and the admiralty use German boats; foreign paper. Bavarian pencils and Swed ish matches are supplied to the govern ment stationery offices. All this means loss to labor at home. "Let us remember that (5,000,000 spent out of the country," argues Mr. Besant-, "de prives at least 1,500 British workingmen of their daily bread, and that it sends to the workhouse or abroad at least 7,500. Ia that a matter to be disregarded?" PROTECTION MIST PREVAIL It is evident from the present condition of labor that a great anil distressing chanp< has been and is pending. To make a mis take in deciding why this condition of in dustrial unrest and idleness has set in would make matters worse. To fairly un derstand what the trouble is intelligent®* - tion can be taken. The Democratic party proclaimed the old Calhoun doctrine of free trade. The people elected them on that issue. As soon as this was done business adjusted itself for the change. It meant the destruction of our industries or a heavy reduction in wages. To look elsewhere for the disease and to apply any other remedy than pro tection will only prolong the disaster. We are in the midst of what our past ex perience teaches us would result from the election of a party to power that would abandon the protective policy. After 1816, after 1833 and after 1846 tell the same story. Everywhere an abundance of everything to add to our prosperity except work for our people. Without protection work for the American laborer at American wages has never been, and will never be, found. The party that will not give us protection cannot give us prosperity. THE STOREKEEPER'S TRADE. The storekeeper is congratulating him self upon a slight improvement in his business, and he needs it badly enough. He is thankful, indeed, for the little re vival that he is now experiencing, but wonders why he is not doing the rushing business that he did in 1832. Those were the good old palmy days when everybody had work and money to spend. His store was always full then, and he could go home at the end of each week feeling con tent with himself and the world at large. But how different has his business been this year. He might have discharged all his help, but kept more hands than he needed, partly out of sympathy and partly because he hoped every day that business would improve. Many was the time that he has looked out at his empty store and wondered if ho would be able to pay the month's rent and salaries when they be came due. He Is doing a little better now, but not much. That big boom in business that was to follow the passage of a Democratic free trade tariff bill has not turned up yet. The storekeeper is still waiting for it. CORRECT THE BLINDER. The way that the northern states sup ported the Democratic nominee for presi dent in 1892 really looked as if it delirium had seized upon the people. In every in stance, however, since that fateful year, where the people have been called upon to ratify or condemn their former action, the result has been an overwhelming an nouncement against the fearful mistake into which they fell. Every true friend of industry and the hundreds of thousands of the unemployed throughout the length and breadth of the country will look to the industrious east and the great northwest for a thunder of protest against the party of free trade in the coming election, and for such a con trol in the next congress as will check far ther tariff reductions until all branches of the government can be recovered in 189 C, and the devastated industries of the land be rehabilitated and restored by wise, effective protection laws. The emphatic protest from Louisiana, too, will be one of the features of this year's congressional election. BMOKZ FROM THE CHIMNEY. Not later than the early part of this month between fifty aud sixty ladies and gentlemen living in St. Louis were invited to visit the springs at St. Clair, Michigan, where they were highly entertained and had a trip on a steam yacht up the river. During this trip the captain called the at tention of the party to a smoke stack, 100 or more feet high, saying: "See that smoke coming from the chimney? That factory has been closed for.elghteen years, and last week was the flint time since 1878 that it has been in operation." A couple of prominent St. Louis citizens, who an' strong Democrats, immediately jumped up and said: "What can McKinley say to that? Here we have started a fac tory running that has been idle for eight een yenrs." As soon as they had finished their little jubilee the captain quietly remarked: "Gentlemen, that factory is on the Cana dian shore." It was then the turn of the rest of members of the party to laugh. FKEE TP. AOK , as advocated by the Dem ocratic party, is for revenue only. Dis carding the policy of protection to all American industries, the tariff is laid on non-competing products that the people most need, and when on competing prod ucts it is made so low its to encourage the Importation of such competing products. SOME people think that the tariff ques tion is settled. That's where they make a mistake. It is still the liveliest kind of a live issue. AX EFFECT or Till: TARIFF, The Democrats have always insisted that there was no necessity for protective duties on farm products, as other nationa could not possibly send such products here in a competing way. They framed the »ew tariff according to this theory, de creasing and removing duties previously imposed upon articles of that kind, and now the farmers are beginning to have object lessons presented to them upon the subject of the practical working of the non-protective policy. For example, a consignment of eleven cars of cattle was received at Chic ago a few days ago from Mexico, a thing hereto fore unknown in that market. These cat tle, numbering 234 steers and fifty cows, were shipped from a ranch at Sabinas, Mexico, crossing the line at Ragle Pass, anil the freight on them was >101.56 per car, and the tariff duty—2o per cent, ad valorem—amounted in all to al>out 3600. They were sold at prices averaging $10.8:) per head, and after payment of all expenses the shipper had a good profit left, and predicted that the success of his experiment would result In large ex ports of cattle from Mexico to this country, as they can be raised there on native grass at a comparatively small cost, and profit ably transported by rail across a large por tion of the United States and sold at rates which put domestic competition out of the question. Thus we have one of the effects of the Democratic tariff law, and it is cer tainly not an agreeable one for agricultural voters to contemplate. THE CONSISTENCY OF PROTECTION. The point is often made that no protec tion should be given to the sugar industry by the payment of a bounty, because no bounty is given to the farmer who grows corn or wheat. It Is forgotten that corn, wheat and cotton rank on the same foot ing as the sugar cane and not with the sugar product, which is quite as much a manufactured product as cotton or woolen goods which arc protected under the Re publican policy, which, moreover, aims to protect the wheat, corn or sugar cane of the farmer just as much as it does the manufactured product of the manufact urer. It has protected the rice of the south and the barley of the north, but the Gor man tariff bill, while continuing protec tion to the rice of the south has diminished the protection to the b-irley of the north,so much so that imports of Russian barley are shortly expected at New York. The next southern industry that will probably need protection will be that of raw cotton, in view of the large quanity of that com modity that has been grown in other parts of the world, more of which is each year finding its way into our markets. When the south finds its cotton growing industry needs protection it will also find that the Republican party will IK- glad and willing to vote for its protection. IMPORTERS- ADVERTISING* CARDS. The following notices, taken from adver tisements of importers of foreign goods, are given a national application: Owing to reductions in the tarifT we offer greater bargains than ever. Owing to reductions in the tariff Maine and Connecticut roll up unprecedented majorities for the party of protection. Our prices are lowered with the tariff. Democratic chances for carrying any state where industry »«rmerly thrived are also considerably lowered with the tariff. Great reductions on account of new tariff bill. Yes, great reductions in work and in op portunities of employment; great reduc tions in wages and in ability to buy the cheap things so industriously advertised. Great resumption of industry. Our store is crowded daily. Our industries are not helped when the importer's store is crowded. It is the whirr and rattle of the loom and the spindle and the hum of productive machinery that helps our industries. Activity in the im porter's shop means activity of industry in Europe, not in America. POINTS OF DIFFERENCE. The American sheep farmer and wool grower pays taxes for township purposes; pays taxes for county purposes; pays taxes for state purposes; contributes to the build ing of churches; contributes to the sup port of the ministry; seeks to raise and educate his children to be useful, Christian people in the world. His lands are valued at 125 to SIOO per acre. The Australian sheep grower raise! wool on lands rented for a few cents per acre. He pays no township taxes; he pays no county taxes; he pays no state taxes; he pays no road or bridge taxes; he sup ports no church or other enlightening in stitution. He simply raises wool, and now under the new tariff law he comes into the American market and competes with the American farmer. This is "tariff reform"—free wool to drive the American fanner out of busi ness; to nduce him and his family to want; to rob him of the thousands of dol lars that his sheep were worth under pro tection. VOTE THE FIRST COLUMN On the official ballot as prepared by the state department is a column headed "In dependent Republican." Voters should not be misled by this. The regular Republican ticket is in the first column of the ballot, as it will bo presented to the voter by the election offi cers. To vote the straight Republican ticket put your cross in the place prepared on the first column of the official ballot. The straight Republican ticket will ba found on the first column of every ballot. Vote there end nowhere else. Any devia tion from this rule is likely to result in » ballot cast entirely unsatisfactory to th# voter. LABOR AND CAPITAL. The claim that the protective policy robs labor for the benelit of capital is shown to be false by results. Under protection labor has steadily gained on capital in the division of their united earnings. In 1860 labor received $44.50 and in 1890 $54.50 out of each hundred dollars' worth of net products, while capital hail $55.50 in 1860 and $45.50 in 18' JO. Lal>or advanced from 1389 to $485, or 70 per cent., while capital went from s.'i6l to S4OB, an advance of only 40 per cent. This shows a differenoe in favor of labor of 30 per cent. AN INQUIRING ENGLISHMAN. An Englishman. James Edgecombe, writes from London to the BirminghaA Post to make some comment upon the recent speech of Mr. William L. Wilson to his British constituents at the cham ber of commerce banquet in London. Mr. Edgecombe wants to know how it has happened that, if one tariff has been so destructive to American interests, the United States within forty years has built up an iron and steel industry greater than that of England. England used to le&4 the world in this business, but, observes Edgecombe, "the tariff protection of the United States has placed us second'* This inquirer also wants to know how protec tion has harmed the American iwople if it be true, as Wilson says, that we have created here a manufacturing plant which will meet the home demand fully by run ning for six i«'>nths in the year. It is not indcarn is in process of erection. Even more building will be done next year than in the last.

The Japanese legation at Washington received a dispatch, Sunday, which con firmed the news in dispatohoc from Shang hai of a second victory of the Japanese array under Marshal Yamaeata. The tele gram is dated Hiroshima, and reads as fol lows; "Before dawn of October 26, our army under Marshal Yarjiagata attacked Kin Let) Cheng, one of the important strong holds upon the Chinese frontier. The place was defended by 16.000 troops under Generals Lin and Song. They fled after offering only a slight resistance and the Japanese force* took possession of the for tifications and the city. T' ,e y captured thirty large lield guns, an immeuiia £uan- ( tity of rice, food of other kinds, etc., aud more than 300 tents. The Japanese loss was 20 killed and 83 wounded. The Chi nese lost more than 200 killod: the exact number ot their wounded is not known."

He died at bis old home iu that township at 4:30, p.m., on Monday, Oct. 22d, 1894, at the advanced age of 91 years, 6 months and 6 days, having been born in Greensburg on the 16th day of April. 1803. He was universally beloved aud respect ed. All, of course, knew that he had met the inevitable; yet, ali deeply deplore the loss which the community iu which he had so long lived, sustained by his death. All feel that a valuable landmark has been re moved, He was an important connecting link between the past and tne present. The traditions of long.gone by days which he banded down to us with wouderful partic ularity are invaluable. Many of them have been crystalled into imperishable history. We only regret that we will not again be privileged to listen to bis pleasant reminiscences. He was a son of John Fowler, who was born in Bucks county, Pa , July 4tb, 1776 His natal day was, therefore, the same as that of the great American Republic ol which he became an honerahlc aud uselul citizen. What au inspiration! Think, for a moment, of having been born contempo raneously with tbe tolling ot the renowned bell which proclaimed liberty to a great nation, and inspiie the down trodden aud oppressed of the world everywhere with a new hope snd higher aspirations! Could one ever forget such glorious circumstances of birth. Mr. John Fowler, father of the subject ot this sketch, as above stated, removed from Bnrk* county at an early age, and took up bis residenpe in Westmoreland county, where he Jived lor several years, and there matried, in 1802, Miss Margaret Carson. His wife died the following year, leaving one child, George 0. Fowler, whose life we now commemorate. Abont four and a half years thereafter, and, when tbe subject of this sketch was only five years old, John Fowler migrated to Butler coun ty, where he followed, as he had in West moreland, the occupations of millwright and parpenter. While if) Westmorland coqnty he built numerous mills, among whjcb was one on Loyalhanna creek, not far trom its confluence with the Cone maugb river, where the two streams unit ing form tbe Kiskiminetas, and not far distant from Saltsburg, Indiana county. Upon his arrival in Butler county.be im mediately, aud with marvelous enterprise, put itbyjjf developing the latent, natural resources o} the county in which he ihen expected to spend the' residue pf his life. He accordingly purchased that tract of laud on Hear creek, in Parker township, which is now known as the "Stone House fjroperty, 'ou which, with as much dis patch poj»#;ble, he erected a carding mill —an almost equipment in pioneer life in those days— ai'tl. glvO, a sawmill—au equally valuable appurten ance. He also erected the stone house, which, although now vacant, is still stand ing on that property, and which, in later gave it its name. Along in the sevent/fes f.hr prouerty became a celebrat ed oil field, aud, p on it, a Jew wells are still producing the oleaginous fluid in pac ing quantities. 'J he subject ol this sketch, as soon as he became sufficiently advanced iu years,t >ok charge flf fhjs carding and sawmill, and, as a young man for bjs operated them for nine years. About this ijuie, his father erected what is Uow known as "Harper's Mills" on the North Brunch of Bear creek, in Parker township, Butler county. Then having purchased a tract of laud containing 400 acres udjacent to Six Points, tbe family rao.'fcd hijfcer, and, after making some necessary iuiprov - »'i/, 0) 4c thereon, George C. Fowler f<>riu»d a matri monial alliance with Miss Elizabeth Ilealty on the 2d day of November, 1820. As the result ol 'his umou John P.; Margaret C.; Samuel n.; Frances T. ■ Sarah G.; Dorothy T. aud Nancy A. Fowler were born, s'l of whom are now deceased except Frances T. Forquer, of Foxburg, Clarion county. Shortly after his marriage, he purchased fiU acye;) of laud which now constitutes a part of the Cobbet*., formerly the Blyinil ler farm, ou which be erected 3 dwelling house and other buildings After living here a few years he disposed of this prop, erty, and then bought one-half of the 400 a;res tract from his father to which we have above »efe;rred. He divided this por tion into two jarins, aod twin cno and retained the other, on which l&tte;- ho re sided continuously 06 years prior to lus de* cease. f£is first wife having died December 17, 184/, he was unjjed in ihe bonds of holy wedlock to Miss Mary a. ilagill on tho 21st day of August, 1849.

Fowler in the lower oil field of Butler county. Mr. Fowler was a good citizen, a success ful farmer, and an upright and honorable man. He was po&essed of most admirable qualities of both head and heart. He had a must remarkable memory, apparentlv never forgetting anything. He never sought to take advantage of his fellow man. Dc mortuia nil nisi honnm, need not be en joined in his case, for no one can trnthfully or justly epeak otherwise. He was a man of sterling integrity; kind and affectionate disposition; and of large and varied inteli gence. He was tbe most inveterate and indefatigable reader with whom we have ever been acquainted outside the learned ! professions. Up to the time when he took his bed, two weeks before his demise, be | read each week regularly nice newspapers —six dailies and three weeklies, besides much other good pabulum for both mind aud heart. His mind during the course of bis lite devoured good books, among which was the Great Book of Books, which he read and re-read many times, and prized above all others. A large volume contain ing verbatim reports of sermons delivered by the celebrated D. L. Moody, the evan gelist, was twice read through by him a abort time before God, in bis goodness and mercy, called him to come up higher. Politically he was au unswerving, un compromising and staunch Republican. Be was no political weather vane, shifting around with every political breeze, and al ways ill at ease. His political affiliations were always with the great party of freedom and equal rights toward all men, without regard to color or provious conditiou of servitude—that party which has ever and j always been in lavor of America as against all the rest of the world. On his tomb stone should be inscribed as an epitaph, in letters both bold and bright: "He voted ticiee for Abraham Lincoln." He was a consistent and devout member of the Presbyterian church. He had given bis heart to God and connected himself with the church in his early manhood From this consecration he never wavered nor faltered. He always considered it ''more than his meat and drink to do his Master's will." lie died peacefully and happily, and with all the ooinfort aud con solation incident to the closing of a ohris? t inn's life. The dissolution of bis soul and body was like the burning out of the last vestige of a candle. Thai he has obtained a glorious immortality beyond the grave, and been permitted to sit down at the mar riage supper of the Lamb, no one, who knew him intimately and well can, for a moment, doubt, liequicscat in pace. His funeral took place on Wednesday, tbe 24th instant, and was attended by a large concourse of his friends and fellow citizens, all desirous to do honor to his memory. liev. J. K.

In response to the expression of surprise uiade Ijy an English student he was told that this sentiment waa njore common in America than he imagined.
