GEORGE ROWE YET ON HIS TRAVELS- WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1888. Tbe General Receives Delegations Numbering Thouandi, from Indiana and I1H-Illinols Some Questions for the Free Traders. He Represents Himself as a Collector for Brewer Joseph Hsefner, and. Tries to Get a Bottla cf Whisky at the North Foie Hotel. Let every Republican voter see that he is registered.

September Cth is the last day. It is always well never to be late. From 700,000 to 1,000,000 bales of cotton are received in Memphis yearly, malting it the greatest inland cotton market in tho world. On Monday' afternoon a neatly-dressed young man of medium stature with a mustache of fiery redness entered the saloon ot Philip Dassinger, on North Queen street, which is known as the North Pole. The new arrival advanced to the bar and spoke familiarly to the proprietor.

He said he intended accompanying a party of brewers and saloonists to a 'picnic, and mentioned among other names those of Frank Rieker and Joseph Haefner. Alter some further conversation the red-mous-tached youDg man produced a check on which was written the following in a scrawling band Mr. Blaine and that an attempt has been made to overshadow tbe nominee for the presidency by the plume of the great Maine leader. This is all bosh and nonsense. Mr.

Blaine has been absent from the country more than a year, and the welcome given him was natural rejoicing oyer the return of a very great man, a splendid leader and an American whom all patriots honor. He was welcomed because he is needed at home to take a leading part in the momentous campaign. The whole situation is well summed up by tbe Chicago Journal ODe of the ablest and staunchest Republican papers of the "West and an ardent friend of Judge Gresham for the Presidential candidacy during tbe convention. Our cotemporary says: Some ingenious enemies of tbe Republican party and some of its fearful friends have considered the result that should be produced if Mr. Blaine should overshadow General Harrison during the balance of the political campaign.

These over-prudent adherents and iricconcilable enemies to Republicanism may possess their souls in patience. There will be no envy, no jealousy, no heart-burnings between the great official and the great unofficial Republican leaders. There is no movement to put Blaine in the front in the fight that is, to the front of tho candidate and chief though Mr. Blaine will be where the hardest fightiDg is to be found. His magnetism, which the old grannies of mugwumpery affect to deride, will thrill the Republican party, and fill it with something like its old.

ardor. But Mr. Blaine enters tha campaign because of his faith, because of bis patriotism, because of his political zeal, because of bis high apostolic spirit, and because be is a Republican ambitious only for victory. He. does not come to snatch away the honors of others, nor from any selfish or sinister motive.

And ho comes as a man always comes into a contest where he can do more for another than lie could do for himself had different circumstances made him the candidate. Fhilis, Give to Geo. 1 qt of whiskey. Bow, try ltAPFNEE. VIGOROU3 IN OLD AGE.

An Octogenarian of East Donegal Makes a Wheat Stack. Manheim Snn. Several old folks have brought themselves into prominence quite recently. Jacob Hertzler lives on nis farm in East Donegal township. He is 81 years old and during harvest he took to the top ot a wheat stack and placed nine loads of grain in position.

He is said to be the best-informed Bible student in Central Pennsylvania. Rev. Mathias Brinser, is ninety-four years old. Last Sunday he occupied the pulpit of Zions Childrens church at Elizabethtown. Hundreds of persons were present lrotn Lebanon, Dauphin and Lancaster counties.

Rev. Brinser is a Bishop in that branch of the Dunkard church known as the Brinserites. The split was caused on account of many members who did not want to keep on holding their meetings in the houses. Rev. Brinser has been a preacher ior sixty-six years.

His son Solomon is a preacher in the same denomination. Michael Kich, sr. lives near this town. He is ninety-one years old. When they were harvesting wheat the old man went out into the field and bound a dozen of sheaves, just to see if he could get his hand in.

He is proud of his feat. Mrs. Nancy Horting is eighty-eight years of age and during the past year did a great deal of sewing and knitting. One of tne things which she accomplished and of which she is vory proud was making a silk quilt in crazy patchwork style, consisting of 101 pieces. The old lady lives with her daugmer, Mrs.

John Kemper, ot East Ephrata. Recently a local paper said that Hannah Brown, colored ot Mount Joy was 100 years old and chews tobacco. She says it is hard enough to be eighty and poor and that she does not chew tobacco. She only smokes the pipe. Mrs.

Katie Fricker is 60 years old and she and ner husband live near town. On Monday when it was very hot she helpod to thresh grain. Her husband and son-in-lawgave out, but she stood it like a young man. Mrs. Fricker works every "davaT; the Hardest kind of work.

ohn Fritz farms several acres of tobacco in summer time and makes brooms in winter. He is 80 years yolu. lie is a great talker and if talk would do it Harrison would he our next president. George Rodfong, of Middletown, celebrated his eigbtietu birthday by working ail day at his trade. He is a carpenter.

A tew monthsagoMrs. Elizabeth Booser. of Dauphin county, found a four-leaf clover. She is ninety years of age. She hunted often since and found another the other day when on a visit to ner nepHew.

The Cobden Club, of England, are rejoicing over the fact that there is a prospect of Free Trade having a triumph in this country. The old adage comes into play dont count your chickens, etc.

During twenty-two weeks of this year 8,126 patents were issued by the Uaited States Patent Office, and of this number fifty-three were issued to women. Keep a moving, sister. You are well. Pike county, has another outbreak of the Hatfields and McCoys. It is about time tho Old Settler of Pike county, should raise a little disturbance just to keep up an equilibrium and local rivalry.

THE TOLL GATE MUST GO. A Correspondent Frees EH Mind on the Turnpike Question. Lancaster, Aug. 14, 1888. Editor of the Examiner.

The toil gate must go, is the heading rticl 111 Inquirer and should echoed and re-echoed by every paper, and ery business man in our city and county, until our highways are as free as the age and times demand them to be. It is well known that but few, if any, of the turnpikes in Lancaster county'are kept np to the requirements cf their charters. It is also well known tbat the stock ia these corporations is held and owned by a few greedy money grabbers, who persist collecting toll from those who are forced to drive over their roads, regardless of the condition of the road. Neither do they care about the comfort and welfare of their patrons. Money, money, moneyr tho almighty dollar, iswhat they want and care not from whom it comes, or how hard it has been earned.

It has long since been a question in the mind of the writer why tho intelligent farmers and business men of the county submit to the imposition. Of late several ot these pennv-catching, money-grabbing companies, (the Millers-ville and Columbia Turnpike Com-panics) ar not even satisfied with the toll gate extortions, but have leased or sold part of their right of way to horse car companies lor consideration. While the reader is not versed in the law, common sense suggests tnat a privilege granted by the legislature for the construction aud maintenance ot a turnpike road could not be sold or leased for any other purpose, without forfeiting tho original charter. Why should not some long suffering party take this mat-tr and have it tested by our cou secure the blessings of future generations 83 well as the pleasure of driving over a free highway himself? Countryman, WA3 HE rOXSGNED? A II or Belonging to Daniel Brotvo, Dies Suddenly. A horse, valued at belonging to Daniel Brown, the well-known ice dealer, died Wednesday, and it is suspected that the animals deatu was due to the administration of poison.

The horse was woi ke'd all day on Tuesday in tbe ice wagon and partook ot a heairtv meal of ieed in tbe evening. Between one and two oclock this morning Mr. Brown went to the stable to secure the animal. He appeared in good health when he was led outside, but about one hundred yards Irom the stable the animal commenced a series of loud and agonizing cries and staggering a short distance, tell to the ground and expired In iess than ten minutes. The supposition is that some miscreant put poison the maDger.

Another animal belonging to Mr. Brown was taken ill a tew days ago and the symptoms were much the same as tbe animal "which died, but on his being put in pasture recovered. Mr. Brown has no clue to the dastard who has been guilty of such meanness. Congressman Wm.

Walter Phelps has hard luck. Not more than a year ago his house was destroyed. Now comes the news that his stables have been burned. Evidently there is some one in Mr. Phelps district who does not love the Congress man.

The Lovejoys, of Massachusetts, were all original anti-slavery men and two of them were clergymen. It was after hearing a speech at Faneuil Hall, condemning the Lovejoy who was killed at Alton that Wendell Phillips made his first anti- slavery speech. Mr. Tiiuioian says that he had his letter of acceptance ready four days after he was nominated. He holds it back, course, out of courtesy to tbe head of the ticket.

We suppose Mr. Cleveland holding his back out of courtesy to Con gross. OVER A CENTURY OLD. THE NEGIIO AS A DEMOCRAT. The New York Star glories over a discovery in that metropolis of a colored man who is both a lawyer aod a Democrat.

It has had this curiosity of natural history interviewed. This man, bciDg a lawyer, and of course an office seeker, or expectant, tells his tale with fervor if not with truth. According to the Star's story, a large majority of the colored citizens of the great metropolis will vote for Cleveland in November. It is not necessary to doubt the statement, as such a doubt would spoil the humor of tho thing. Yet it is well enough to say, in parenthesis, that this staple Democrat may have come off the same piece of sable political cloth with the recent Indianapolis convention of colored Democrats.

The other day the world was electrified that is the word, for the story came by wire with. the news that an assemblage of men gathered from North and South, representiug the colored peope of the nation, met at Indianapolis and organized a Democi atie ational Convention. Several score of them resoluted and speechified and said and did things from a Democratic standpoint, and then were ready to go home. But they could not go home. A second dispatch said these men bad been unable to leave Indianapolis because their Democratic managers failed to come to time and pay their passage.

Tbe so-called convention was a Democratic luse, and failed as many other modem enter prises do for want of funds. Possibly President Cleveland went a-fisbing instead of staying at home to pay the bills. Can any human deformity exist more hideous in its moral visage, and more incongruous as a sentient than a Democratic negro? What wa3 the negro in tbe past? What great upheaval of sentiment and principle worked out his salvation and made him possible as a man and a brother? What vile force held him down, made him despicable and asserted that he had no rights a white man was bound to respect? In the past the negro was a chattel to be sold, a slave to be driven. There came an upheaval caused by the Republican party, whose sentiments and principles roused the worlds sympathy and took form as a political movement. That movement soon raised Southern pride to rebellion, and at tbe price of a half million, lives lost on battlefields gave the negro freedom and equal rights.

While Southern armies fought, Northern Democrats voted, and all the drift of their sentiments was to hate and contemn the nigger. What the colored man is, or may hope to be, he owes to the Republican party. But for that force in politics slavery would to-day exist iu Kansas and California, as weli as throughout the South. The rights and privileges of citizenship may not be precious to him, and he may not fully value his sovereign posi tion as a voter, but if he deems life and liberty precious and happiness worth possessing, let the colored man not forget the Republican party as it lives to-day, and the dead who would be its living forces bad they not laid down their lives in the war against slavery. In view of all the past and of the race war that exists in tbe present; in the face of a solid South, only possible because tbe votes of colored citizens are wickedly rejected and the rights troudeu under foot how can a colored man become a Democrat? To be ingrate, coward, dastard, traitor all in one the negro has only to forget what his people were and what the Republican paity ha3 done for them, and be a Democrat.

The memory of Lincoln and Grant, and tbe times that called them to he the nations saviors, should hold the colored people like a speli. The recollection of Jeff Davis and tbe rebellion he led and Democracy sympathized with, whose object was to perpetuate slavery, should nerve tbe negro to cast tbe ballot the Republicans gave him on the same side today that he gallantly shouldered bis musket for during tbe war. When education and time shall raise that race to the standard of manhood our great Republican statesmen devised for when the solid South shall accord to colored men the rights Republican legislation has promised them, and their votes are counted as they are cast; when Democracy shall heartily accept the amendments to the constitution Republican congresses and legislatures have enacted, then there may be a time when the colored voter can forget tho past and believe in the new present. Then his battle will be won and then party has been for his race and has done against it. is vote may be divided, but not he forget what the DemocratioT In another column we print the inter view with Col.

Brice published in the Cincinnati Inquirer the leading Democratic paper of Ohio; also some remarks of Col. Watterson and Senator Gorman. From all of which it appears that everything is Dot happy and pleasant in the Democratic household. The boys want more spoils, and the New York postoffice especially, to help them. There is very little left to give them, but that little Mr.

Cleveland will be forced to bestow. After all, most political fights in our uay circle around a postmaster or collector of in ternal revenue. Platforms and revenue bills are made a basis of argument, but with the average Democrat the loaves and fishes are the objective points. Tho nigger in the Democratic wood pile now is the torn and tattered remnant of Cieve lands civil service reform. Give us the earth and wi will fight for you, says Col.

Brice and Senator Gorman. And they must be obeyed. After five days partial cessation, the reception of large visiting delegations was resumed by General Harrison. In point of numbers and enthusiasm the demonstration was one of the most memorable since the day of General Harrisons nomination, between six and seven thousand visitors participating. The first delegation to arrive came from Arcadia, New Britian and other points in Hamilton county, and numbered about 3,000.

The excursion trains brought the visitors to the outskirts of the city, where they united and were received at the depot by a local committee, headed by General Foster. The march to-University Park was quite imposing. At the head of tbe column marched a Tippecanoe Club of eighty-three veterans, carrying before them a life-sized portrait of General Benjamin Harrison, set in a framework of flags. On the reverse side were the words: Protection, prosperity and perpetuity of the Uniou. Tho column reached University Park about noon.

Hon. J. It. Gray, of Nobles-ville, was spokesman lor the visitors. In responding to Colonel Grays warm address Geueral Harrison said: Colonel Gray and my Hamilton county friends: The demonstration which you made this morning is worthy of Hamilton county.

It is worthy of the great party to which you have given the consent of your minds and the love of your hearts; it is altogether more than worthy of whom you have come to greet. You come from a county tbat, as your spokesman has said, is greatly favored, a county rich in its agricultural capacity; but as I look into your faces this morning I turn from the contemplation of moral wealth to the thought of those things that are higher and better. (Applause). Not long ago a distinguished Englishman and jurist visited our country. On tbe eve of his return, in a public address, riie alluded to the fact that wherever ho went he was asked whether he was not amazed at the great size of our country.

This student of law and government very kindly, but very decidedly, rebuked this too-prevalent pride of bulk, and called our attention to the finer and higher things that ho had observed in our American civilization. So to-day, as I look od these intelligent faces, my thoughts are turned away from those things that are scheduled, that have their places in our census returns, to those things which belong to the higher man-his spiritual and moral nature. (Applause) I congratulate you, not so much upon the rich farm lands of your county as upon your virtuous and happy homes. Applause. The Home is the best, as it is tbe first, school of good citizenship; it is tho great conservative and assimilating force.

I should despair for my country if American citizens were to be trained only in our schools, valuable as is their instruction. It is in the home that we first learn obedience and respect for law. Parental authority is the type of beneficent government. It is iu the home that we learn to love, in the mother that bore us, that which is virtuous, consecrated and pure. Applause.

I take more pride in the fact that the Republican party has always been the friend and protector of the American home than in aught else. Applause. By the beneficient homestead law it created more than half a million of homes; by the emancipation proclamation it converted a million cattle jiens into homes. Applause. And it is still true to those principles that will preserve contentment and prosperity in our homes.

I greet you as men who have been nurtured in suck homes, and call your thoughts to the fact that tho Republican party has always been and can be trusted to be friendly to all that will promote virtue, intelligence and morality in the homes of our people. Applause. Now, iu view of the fact that I must greet other delegations to-day (cries of Dont, stop). I am sure you will be content with these brief remaiks, though they are an altogether inadequate return for your cordial demonstration. (Cheers.) The Illinois Delegations.

Shortly after noon the delegations from Illinois began to arrive. From Tuscola and other points in Douglass county came nineteen carloads of people. A notable feature of this display was tho old tattered flag of the Twenty-first Illinois Regiment, General Grants original regiment. Tho Douglass county delegation awaited the arrival of the train from Decatur, which brought, perhaps, the finest looking aud largest delegation of the day from Macon county, 111. At their head marched Captain Strange with 300 members of the Young Mens Republican Ciub of Decatur.

Arriving at University Dark about three o'clock, a crowd of several hundred Mr. Dassinger, who was behind tbe bar, looked at the note and suspected that something was wrong. He refused to com ply with the order. The young inan was none other than George Rowe, the individual who has gained great notoriety in a few days by his audacious operations and display of monumental cheek. Rowe represented himself to Mr.

Dassinger as a collector for Brewer Haefiner. He never was in the employ of Mr. Haefiner and that gentleman has not yet formed his acquaintance. Rowe said he could brfog D. S.

Mearig to go his security for the liquor, and Mr. Dassinger replied that if Mr. Mearig would bo responsible he could have tbe whisky. Rowe left and did not return with Mr. Mearig, whom he said he knew very welL Buying Sixteen Founds of Bologna.

Rowe, the champion of all dead beats, past and present, on his failure to secure the much-coveted whisky, went to the butcher shop ot D. S. Meang, which is one door north of the North Pole saloon. Mr. Mearig was in the shop at the time.

Rowe asked for thirty pounds of bologna, saying ho was going on a picnic with some brewer friends ot his. The bologna was weighed, and the amount was but seventeen pounds. He said that quantity would be sufficient. The extensive bologna buyer said he would return for it later in the aiternr.on, as the picnic would not start from Dassfogers until about four oclock. Shortly alter four oclock Rowe entered the shop, Mrs.

Mearig being there at the time. The kfog of dead beatdom has a faculty for smooth talkmg and ho can lie faster than a horse can trot. He informed Mrs. Mearig that lie callad for the bologna which he ordered earlier in the afternoon. The package was handed him and asking ior pen and ink Rowe wrote an order purporting to come from Joseph Haiflner.

The order was signed George Miller. The price of the bologna was 2.70 and Rowe wouid no doubt have gotten it on his first visit to Mr. Mearigs shop, had not the proprietor been there. Mrs. Mearig accepted the order, and Rowe talked glibly for a tow moments about the picnic, what provisions they had, who was going, eta, and then left the store and joined a companion, a young man, who was waiting outside.

Tbe two walked swiftly away, Rowe carrying tho bologna under his arm. Tracing Rowe. A short time after Rowe left the butcher shop Mr. Mearig arrived and his wile exhibited the forged order. Mr.

Mearig telephoned to Riekers and Haeffners and both gentlemen said they had attended no picnic and did not know any suclr person as George Rowe or Miller. Mr. Dassinger was seen and he pronounced Rowes story of the picnic starting from there a fabrication. Accompanied by Officer James Ehrman Mr. Mearig went in searen of Rowe.

He was traced to the railroad bridge over the Lititz pike. The switchman at ifcat point said a man answering Rowes description had been their a short time before. He had given a portion of a lot of bologna he carried to a couple of tramps. The wrapping of the bologna was found. The switchman said the fiery-moustached individual had walk ed on the railroad in the direction of theCon-estoga.

He had a bottle of whisky and was considerably under the influence of liquor. He said he was a railroad employe and that his heme was in Philadelphia. The supposition is that Rowe boarded a passenger" train, which stopped at the Conestoga bridge, and went to Columbia. He displayed a workingman's pass over the P. R.

It. to the switchman. Mr. Mearig has entered suit against Rowe lor false pretense before Alderman Deen. There are three or four charges hanging over Rowes head at present and it captured it will go hard with him.

His audacious acts have never been excelled Who Rowe Is. Many people have expressed a desire to know who this peer of all dead beats is. His home is in Columbia. By trade he is a machinist and has had short stays at several establishments in this city. lie has a fondness for loud talk and delights in displaying his self-importance.

lie is so tresli that it would require a few bags of salt to tone him down. IIi3 extensive team-hiring was printed in full in last evenings Examisek. No person appears to know what he does with the teams which he keeps away. People who know him will say he is'on a spree and will settle up when he becomes sober. Many other people think differently.

General IIovey, who has been nomi nated by the Republicans for Governor of Indiana, has written some charming poems, also an excellent book on Peru, During tho War of the Rebellion he had more than 50,000 Indiana soldiers under him. Possibly it will be well to keep the poetry quiet till the campaign is over. Civil service reform in the New York Custom House has resulted in the dis missal of 438 Republicans and the employment of 733 Democrats to fill their places, The Custom House ought to be a pretty effective machine for Mr. Cleveland, with so many hands personally devoted to Y.

Her.sol cf Har rftbnrg, Writes a Ilouk. New Yo.ik Sun. Mr. W. U.

Hensel, of Harrisburg, is the author of a duodecimo volume of nearly 600 pages containing biographies of Grover Cleveland Allen Granbery Thurman, prepared for the campaign, and abundantly the life ot Mr. Cleveland Mr. Hensel has made use of the biography which Governor Dorsheimer published four years ago, making ton such'additions and changes as were necessary to bring the narrative down to the present day, including especially and in full the famous message ot last December upon the reduction oi the Treasury suplus. Mr. Hensel is a capable, intelligent, able and interesting writer, and his work has been weli done.

We havo no doubt that it will have a large circulation ia every part of the country. The portrait of Mrs. Cleveland which i3 introduced in this volume is one of the fairest we have ever seen: but the head of Mr. Cleveland is not entitled to such commendation. In fact, it is tbe same that Governor Dorsheimer printed lour years ago, and it fails entirely to show the marks which the progress of time has made upon the physiognomy of tne large and powerlul man.

It is also unjust, for while Mr. Clevelands head is perhaps technically not so handsome as it was 1884, it is far more intellectual and more interesting. Something About Aunt Kutliy Aged Colored Woman. It is not generally known that there resides iu Lancaster' colored woman who claims to nave attained the rare old age of one hundred and seven years. A reporter of the Hew Era called at No.

211 Cnurch street and had a chat with the old woman, whose name is Ruth Woods. Her appearance certain iy indicates extreme old age. Her gray hair was partly covered by a handkerchief of many colors, and on her chin was a growth of gray hair half an inch long. The sight of one eye is gone, but the other is stilt bright. Iler hearing is defective, and her memory has failed very much within the past three months.

She" said she was born 107 years ago near the Back tavern, this county, and was a slave. She was raised by the grandfather of Robert Moore and came to Lancaster two score years ago. Members of her family say she used to he fond of talking of the olden times but ot late she has not done so, on account of failing memory. Hew Era. That Aunt Ruthy, as she was known in Major RobL W.

Moorss home, is very old, is most true, but we think not 107, but certainly almost a hundred. She was not born a slave, but Her ancestorsjhad been slaves in the Moore family before tbe abolition of the barbarism in this State. She was brought up by the father of Major Moore Samuel Moore, deceased. There is no record of her birth of course, but one circumstance she was wont to relate in years gone by shows that she is at least near a hundred years old, if not altogether. When Samuel Moore brought his young bride home in the good old style, on horseback, little Ruth ran before the party and iu mischievous sport kicked up the sand on the road and took grand delight in seeing the gay party enveloped in a cloud of dust.

That wedding party rode down the Buck road about 90 years ago. It was then thought that Ruth was ten years of age so estimating from this data it can be seen that she must be nearly or altogether a hundred. Possibly she is over this. She has always been a remarkaDle strong woman and even when she had passed the three score and ten she paid an annual visit to the old Moore homestead to gather wild fox grapes in Major Moores woods. The bride in whose face Ruth kicked up the dust lived to a grand old age.

We saw her sitting at the spinning wheel when she was ninety. It was from the chattering of Aunt Ruthy to my grandmother that these things came to He will need all the help it can give him. him.

Harrison Makes the First References to the Chinese Question Since His Nomination American Labor Should be Protected. Between 5,000 and 6,000 visitors from the three counties of Hush, Decatur and Delaware paid tbeir respects to the Republican nominee Wednesday. The delegation from Rush county numbered about 2,000.

In their posession were twelve township clubs. Judge Cullen, of Rush-ville, acted as spokesman. In his response General Harrison said: Judge Cullen and my Rush county friends lam glad to see you here to-day glad to be assured by him who has spoken in your behalf that your coming here in some measure is intended a3 an evidence of your personal respect for me. The respect of ones fellow citizens who have opportunities to know him is of priceless value. I cannot in these daily addresses enter much into public questions.

You are Republicans. You havo opposed always the doctrine of State rights; you have believed and gloried in the greater citizenship that embraces all the people of all the States. You beln. ve that this government is not a confederation to be dissolved at the wiil of any member of it, but a nation having the inherent right, by arms if need be, to perpetuate its beneficent existence. Great applause.

Many of you who are Here to-day havo aided iu vindicating that principle upon tbe battlefield (cries of plenty of us), and jet these views are not inconsistent with a just State pride. We are proud to to bo Iudianians, proud of the story of her progress ia material development, proud of her educational and benevolent institutions, proud of her part iu the civil war, It there has been any just cause of reproach against our btate, we will all de, sire that it be removed. We may fairly appeal to all Indianians, without distinc tion of party, to co-operate in promoting such public measures as are calculated to lift up the dignity, the honor and estimation of Indianians among the States of the Union. Great applause. I will call your attention to one such subject that seems to me to be worthy of your thought.

It is the reform of our election laws. A constitutional amend ment to which a great majority of our people gave tbeir sanction has removed the impediment which stood in the way of progressive legislation in the protection of her honest ballot in Indiana. Formerly we could not require a definite period of residence in the vot-iDg precinct. Now we may, and have. The same amendment authorized our Legislature to enact a just and strict registry law, widen will enable the inspectors properly to verify the claims of those who offer a ballot.

Every safe guard of law should be thrown around the ballot box, until frauds in voting and frauds in countiug shall receive sure penalties of the law as well as the reproba tiou of all good meD. Applause. The Republican partv has always stood for election reforms. No measure tending to secure the ballot-box against fraud has ever been opposed by its representatives, I am not here to make imputations. I submit this general suggestion: Find tbe party that sets the gate of election frauds open or holds it open, and I will show you the party that expects to drive cattle tha' way.

Applause. Let us as citizens irrespective of party unite to exalt the name of Indiana by making her election laws models of justice and severity and her elections free from tbe taint of suspicion, Great applause. Shortly after noon the delegation from Decatur county arrived, 1,000 strong. A half hour later the special train from Muncy brought the third and last delegation of the day from Delaware county, numbering fully 2,500. Each township in the county was represented by a club, and about 300 veterans led tho column.

At the Park the Delaware county delegation was nailed to the Decatur delegation. There were three congratulatory speeches. Y. I. Bray spoks ia behalf of the Delaware county colored delegation, and R.

S. Gregory, of Muneie, represented the delegation as a whole. Hon. William Cumback spoke briefly for Decatur county. General Harrison in replying to these addresses gave his views in brief upon tho living questions of pauper labor and American wages.

He spoke with unusual earnestness and vigor as follows: My friends, the man who does not believe that the issues of this campaign have taken a very deep hold upon the minds and upon the hearts of the American people would do well to come and stand with me and look into the faces of the masses who gather here. I know nothing of the human face if I do not read again in your faces and eyes the lesson I have read here from day to day, and it is this: that thiuking, intelligent, God-fearing and self-respect ing citizens of this country believe there are issues at stake that demand their earnest effort. Applause. A campaign that is one simply of party management, a campaign by committees and public speakers, may fail, but a campaign to which the men and the women of the country give their unselfish and earnest efforts can never fail. Great applause.

It is no per3opal interest in the candidates that stirs these emotions in your hearts. It is the belief that questions are involved ail'ecting your prosperity and the prosperity oi your neighbors; affecting the dignity of the nation; affecting the generation to which you wiil presently leave the government which our fathers buiit-and you have saved. Applause. One subject is never omitted by those who speak for these visiting delegations, viz: the protective tariff, The purpose not to permit American wages to be brought below the level of comfortable living, and competence, and hope, by competition with the pauper labor of Europe has taken a very strong hold upon our people applause; and of kin to this suggestion and purpose is this other, tbat we will not permit this country to be made tho dumping-ground of foreign pauperism and crime. Great applause.

There are some who profess to be eager to exclude paupers aud Chinese laborers, and at the same time advocate a jiolicy that brings the American workman into competition with the products of cheap foreign labor. Applause. The disastrous effects upon our workingmen and working-women of competition with cheap, underpaid laborare not obviated by keeping the cheap workers over tbe sea if the products of this cheap labor are allowed free competition in our markets. We should protect our people against; competition with the products of underpaid iabor abroad, as weil as against the coming to our shores of pauper laborers under contract and the Chinese. Enthusiastic applause.

These two thoughts are twin thoughts. The same logic supports both, and the Republican party holds them as tho dual conclusion of one great argument. Now, gentlemen, to the first voters who come with the high impulse of recruits into this strife, to these old men seasoned veterans or many a contest and to these colored friends, whose fidelity has been conspicuous, I give my thanks and hearty greeting. Applause. There has been a desire expressed that the reception of these delegations should be individualized; that Delaware should be received by itself and Decatur separately, but that is not possible.

You are one in thought and purpose; aud I am not able to individualize your reception by counties. I will so far as I can now make it absolutely individual by greeting each one of you. Prolonged cheers. The General then came down from the platform and shook hands with the large crowd as it filed by the stand. In his speech, when he uttered the words Chinese laborers, the audience broke out in one great cheer, and the demonstrations of approval were frequent and hearty throughout.

ROYALLY ENTERTAINED. Railroad Eaglueets Spend a Pleasant Iay Off. IIarri9burg Call. On Tuesday a number of well-known locomotive engineers, of this city, upon a pressing invitation repaired "to the farm of Simon B. Cameron, -at Shocks mills, Lancaster county, and were royally entertained by that genial gentleman in his most hospital manner, After receiying and extending them a hearty welcome, he drove them to Wild Cat Falls, the noted Lancaster county pleasure resort, one mile distant, in a two-horse wagou, where the day was spent in pleasure and recreation.

Schutzbach, of Columbia; Cyrus Mel-linger, of Marietta. Belore leaving they presented their host with an elegant golil headed cane with the following inscription: Presented to S. B. Cameron by his engineer friends. They all speaic in the highest torms or their trip and entertainment.

MILLERS VI LLE REPUBLICANS Two Poles Raised and au Enthusiastic Ratification Meeting; Held. The Republicans of Millersvillo and vicinity met on Wednesday evening to have a pole raising and ratification meeting. A large crowd of enthusiastic people had gathered on the square, near the post-office, where they erected two beautiful poles, one on each side of the pike, upon which were stretched the banner with the inscription Republican Headquarters of After the poles had been placed in proper position the crowd went" to headquarters, where THE RING WA3 FOUND. Lost from a Car Window, It ia Picked Up by a Track Foreman. On Tuesday a lady passenger on the Day Express dropped a diamond ring from her linger while her hand was hanging from the car window, west of the Coatesville bridge.

She notified the Pennsylvania railroad authorities at Phitadel-pma on the arrival of tfle train, and they notified Simon Cameron Long, the able and efficient supervisor of the railroad in this bailiwick. He promptly sent word to Jacob Miller, the track foreman at Coatesville, and this morning he re-ceveiep tne ring which was at once sent to headquarters. The ring was found among the stones along the road, two in ites west of the Coatesville bridge. There are 621 newspapers printed in Berlin, Prussia. Fifty-four are official papers, 70 political, 165 have to do with literature, scienco and art, 217 are com luercial aud 30 religious.

Assuming that Boston and New York are our literary centres, what would they do if they had 105 papers devoted to literature? A literary paper hero amounts to nothing. It does not pay and tho more expensive magazine rules iu its stead. Women Are Cartons Creatures. The majority ot women do not carry parasols for comfort, but for appearance sake. Notice this on the street on a hot day.

If in the sunshine the parasol is held so as to look all right, regardless of the suns rays, which may be beating down upon her back and neck with 95 degrees of neat. Tbe parasol is held in precisely the same position in tho shade as the sunshine and is as industriously carried on a cloudy, pleasant day as ou "a clear, hot one. Verily, Women are curious creatures. untieveryone present was entertained and in-can I Arnold, of In his stirring and eloquent speech at New Haven Tuesday, Mr. Blaine said But all personal compliments which I might'take to myself are subordinated in every respect to the great end of rallying the people of Connecticut to the support of Harrison aud Morton prolonged cheer ing, who represent in their political reoord and in their personal history all tho the great issues of the national campaign.

Loud applause. That was as just, as it was handsomely said. Mn. Cleveland found that the Solid South had too much pork iu the River and Harbor job barrel, to permit him to knock ia its head with a veto. Mr.

Arthur vetoed a smaller bill of the same sort, although he knew that he would thereby lose the support of several strong Republican Congressman for tbe Chicago nomination. But Mr. Arthur was not professional Reformer, lie was only an honest man, with no humbug or false pretenco about him. CHURCH TOWN NOTES. A Large Conntry Church Being Built Camp at oanna Heights.

The apple crop is right good; cider is made and the weather very fine. The Texas fly is very troublesome, people are compelled to use tar to keep them off ot the cattle. Camp at oanna is not so largely attended as in former years. Many tents are empty. Not more than three or four ftom our town.

Tneir meetings are good and th6ir preaching very able. A Sunday School celebration will be held at Dellavens orchard, on Saturday Bangor school will there treat their children to a fine dinner and ice cream, with all preparations for a day of enjoyment. Tobacco cutting has begun. Early patches are good: late coming on fine. Raloon fc peHaven were up to Watson-town and bought up five carloads of last years goods.

They will re-case the same here. The new church that is being built near the Plow is one of the lanrest of country churches. Its length is 82, and width 55 leet. The church is being well built throughout, and the estimated cost is about 815,000. Levi Yoder of our town is awarded the contract lor plastering the church.

His reputation as a plasterer is widely known, having done up a number of churches in his time, and amongst others ha plastered both our churches here, and most excellent workmanship was displayed, as the work staDds to tell for itself that he thoroughly understands the plasterers trade. Oil on the Water. Much complaint has been heard recently of oil being on the Conestoga creek. Fishing parties say that the surtace is covered with the fluid at various points between What Gien Park and the old Water Works. The oil pipe line crosses creeK at What Glen and the oil comes from the leak ot japes.

Reports come that hundreds of fishes are dying in the creek and it is supposed to be Irom this cause. Something should be done to remedy the nuisance, as the water we drink may become impregnated with petroleum, wnich is not at ail palatable. A Rooster in the Headlight. When Day Express steamed into the station yesterday afternoon, the engineer crawled around to the headlight, in ser his hand and removed a fluttering and enraged rooster. One wing hung limply by the fowls side.

The glass of the headiigbt was shattered and tho roosters wing broken. The unfortunate chanticleer had flown against the glass somewhere with such lorce as to shatter it, and being stunned remained inside. The fowl was given to a small boy, who carried it triumphantly home. Lancaster, and Dr. J.

Gatcbetl, of Willow Street. Mr. Arnold grew very enthusiastic upon the protection of our American industries and labor and gave some very pointed remarks upon the vital issues of the day. Oar jolly Dr, Gatchell entered tha hail and mounted the platform amid tremendous applause. The doctor gave us a good general speech, as he is always expected to do.

He gave tliePro-hibitiouists a few very fine jiomts to smoko in their pipes and struck tbe nail squarely on the head on the tariff issue. Tne Mil lersvitle band gave some of their good campaign music. The meeting adjourned to meet again on Wednesday evening, Aug. 22, to hold a business meeting. The Chattering Martin is Gone.

JJauover Spectator. Those curious migratory birds, the martins, have already taken their departure southward in anticipation of the approach of fall, and their noisy cnatter is no longer heard at early morn. There is some thing peculiar and mysterious in the migratory habits of tha martin tbat is not observed any of the other Southern birds that visit us to spend the summer months. They make tbeir advent among us ia their Northern migratory flight early in April, during tho quiet hours of the night, when all nature is enveloped in darkness and silence, and as mysteriously take their denarture about the beginning of August for tbe Sunny South. No one has ever observed these birds arrive in daylight or take their departure when expected here in the spring they are discovered some fine morning to have already arrived and taken possession ct the little boxes arranged for them on many of the houses, and so also when the time arrives for their departure they disappear in the same manner, never being seen to congregate in flocks like other birds preparatory taking tbeir flight to their accustomed winter flaunts.

THE GREAT AMERICAN HOG, Ho Takes a Dinner at a North Queen Street Hotel. He was a powerful young man. He stood well on his feet, which were large, his face showed every sign of the animal. As the sequel will show his stomach must be trying to make improvements on the sausage chopper or else has become the Botany Bay for banished tape worms. This added to his natural disposition to get the most of his money led him to act the part of the American Hog.

Ho played casino with everything within his reach and made a sweep with both the deuce of spades and ten of diamonda He took every point and dealt every time himself. Three plates of roast beef, half a chicken, a loaf of bread, two relays of side dishes and six goblets of water simply made him feel comfortable. As he was attacking his thirteenth ear of corn an Irishman opposite whispered, Put your foot on it. The hog simply grunted. He could not understand "the witty reflection.

Theij came the dessert. Two pies disappeared as quick as a free lunch fiend could snap a sandwich. Then fol. lowed into the cavern of dispair a custard and peach tart. The American hog became thirsty.

He called for a cun of coffee and two glasses of iced tea. Into these he dropped thirteen spoonfuls of granulated sugar and several Belgian Blocks the pressed flraud. These went down tho Niagara of his throat and then he was ready lor berries, ice cream, bananas, and all other fruits. He got them. It was Jumbo and his trunk.

He ate and ate. Some people looked on in astonishment, the landlord iu despair. At last the American Hog got through. The landlord turned his eyes heavenward and thanked fortune his napkin was not swallowed or that his knives, forks and spoons had not gone down that throat of famine and desolation. For all this the Hog was not smiled to repletion.

After payfog fifty cents for playing a winning game at the table he went out and bought a quart of peanuts to aid digestion. He was seen eating them with enjoyment as he waddled to the depot. Truly the American Ilog is peculiar. He should be fed on cannibal sandwiches ana stay in summer quarters till sauer kraut and butchering times come. Tflc XU Corq of this Season.

The growth of corn is somewhat phenomenal -this season, and the fields generally present a uniform array of ant stalks "Seldom before witnessed within the memory of that notable personage, the oldest inhabitant Reports of cornstalks ranging from 11 to 13 feet in height are becoming quite common, and if the growth continues in the same proportion throughout August, the farmers wilt have to procure ladders to enable them to take off the ears in the falJ. Mr. George Bowman has a crop in this city consisting of ten stalks that wore 14 feet high a week ago. A Lost Amish Huy. A curious crowd followed Officer Glass and a little boy, dressed in the quaint garb of the Amish this morning.

The child had become separated Irom his father and was wanderfog on North Queen street, when taken in charge by Officer Glass. The little follow was taken to the Stationhouse. a short time afterwards the boys father, Christian Petersbeim, of Leacock, called and claimed the boy, whose name was John. We Lave more than once spoken about tbe nuisance of turnpikes and tbe abornin ation of tbe toll gate. We join all our local cotemporaries in saying these barriers to free intercourse the turnpike and toll gate must be placed among other relics of barbarism.

If our turnpikes were good roads, built according to charter, require ments and charged reasonable tolls, they might be tolerated. But they do not do these things, and so being an inoumbrance on city and county they should go. Robert T. Lincoln was in London Friday, and left the following day to take his ocean passage westward. He was Interviewed, and said that he returned home to meet professional engagements.

As to politics he said: I expect to do hard work in the campaign. I think we have the winning ticker, though my personal choice was Gresham. I am in favor of tho Scnite bill to reduce the surplus, but am steadfastly opposed to any move which will weaken or change our system of protective tariff. We should make reductions on internal revenue, and then know precisely what tve are doing. awaited them, swelling the audience to nearly 4,000.

Captain T. D. Minjurn, of Tuscola, addressed General Harrison on behalf of the Douglass county delegation, and A. Mills ot Decatur, spoke for the Young Men's Republican Club of that city. It was several minutes after Gen.

Harrison arose before the tumult and cheers subsided, when he spoke, as follows My Republican Friends I feel myself unable to respond suitably to this magnificent demonstration and to these kindly words which you have addressed to me. Public duties involve grave responsibilities. The conscientious man will not contemplate them without seriousness. But the man who sincerely desires to know and to do hjs duty may rely upon the favoring help of God and the friendly judgment of his fellow citizens. Your coming Irom another State and from digtapt homes testifies to the absorbing interest which you feei in those questions which are to be settled by tho ballot in November.

Cries of We will settle them. The confessed free-traders are very few in this country. But English statesmen and English newspapers confidently declare that in fact we havo a great many. Applause. We are told that it is only an average reduction of seven per cent, that is contemplated.

Laughter. Well; if that were true, and not a very deceptive statement, as it is really, you might fairly ask whether this average reduction docs not sacrifice some American industry or the wages of our workingmen and work-ingwomen. You may also fairly ask to see the free list, which does not figure in this average. Applause. We would have more confidence in the protests of these reformers that they are not free traders if we could occasionally hear one of them say that he was a protectionist applause, or admit that ou custom duttes should adequately favor our domestic industries.

But they seem to be content with a negative statement. Those who would if they could eliminate the protective principle from our tariff laws have informer moments of candor described themselves as progressive freetraders, and it is an apt designation. The protective system is a hairier against the flood or foreign importations and the competition of underpaid labor in Europe, Applause. Those who want to lower the dyke owe to those who live behind it to make a plain statement, of their purposes. Do they want to invite the flood, or do they believe in dyke, but think it will afford adequate protection at a lower level? Great and enthusiastic applause.

What I say is only suggestive. I can not in this brief talk go into details or even properly limit the illustrations I have used. Eut this i3 an appropriate and timely inquiry With what motive, what nitimate design, what disposition towards tfio principle of projection, is it that our present tariff schedule is attacked? It may be that reduction should be made; may be that some' of duties should ba increased; but we want to know whether those who propose the revision believe in taking thought of our American workingmen in fixing the rates, or will leave them to the chance efforts of a purely revenue tariff. Applause. Now, haviDg spoken already, The Game Laws Again.

Grey or fox squirrels may be shot between September 1st to December 1st. The partridge and quaii season opens October 15th and ends December 15th. Pheasants may be killed from October 1st to December 81su The rabbit season opens November 1st and ends December 31st. Tiie closing of the Penn Iron Works in definitely, throwing several hundred men out of employment, is not a very pleasant circumstance either to the employes or the public at large. The alleged closing is on account of the dullness of the iron trade, The real reason may be that the Trades Union is trying to run the works accord ing to their own ideas and as usual trying to protect some indifferent workmen by corporate action.

This we simply surmise not having interviewed any manager of the works. It is so common to find iabor troubles founded more upon some caprice, as tbe discharge of a workman, than upon a question of wages, that we can readily assume that such is the case at the Penn Iron Works. As we have often pointed out, the weakness of a trades union consists in the fact that nothing is left to individual effort or expertness. The bad and improvident workman stands on the same plane as the good one receives the same wages and the same care. This is all artificial.

The workingmans union is weakened by, striving after the success of tha average or incompetent man. These are the men who always make trouble and tbe good, frugal, thrifty workmen must support him in his cause. Capital buys cheap labor if it can but it never yet has been able to ignore tbe intelligent and thrifty workmen. These sccomo the foremen in works and the leaders in enterprises. Nearly every man who is at the head of great works to-day, stood by the loom and anvil himself.

He received bis education there and became capitalist through saving and brains. Ialf labor troubles yea, three-fourths, come from barroom discussion and street brawls. No capitalist can afford to discharge a onscientious, honest, faithful workman, unless for bis product. He cannot afford to keep a bad or careless one. Natural law rules capital and labor.

When either go into an artificial state they wiil lose in the end. All trusts will eventually break. They must in the very nature of things. Time will break their necks. These are simple i acts which have oft been expressed, but common truth must be often spoken before it is accepted in practice.

It is both refreshing and amusiDg to hear the Democrat and Mugwump press trying to show that Gen. Harrison has been forgotten in the grand reception given there is no demand I Sunday School Picnic. The Green Hill U. B. Sunday School will hold their picnic on Saturday, September 8.

A Curious Rarrison Relip.

Boston Journal. A Boston dealer in china and glassware on his last visit to Europe went to a email manufacturing town in Germany, being, probably, the only American in bis line who ever calls at the place on business. While seeking novelties he was told that they had recently opened an old closet and there found two "cups and saucers, on one of which was a picture of William Henry Harrison gud on the other a portrait of John Adams. He brought them home and has presented one to the Adams family and has sent to Benjamin Harrison the CUP bear3ng the portrait of his grandfather. How these articles ever came to he manu-iactured in that small out-oi-the-way German town is a mystery.

Mount Joy Roys Discharged. -Noah Harmon, Amos Gantz and William Zeilers, charged with robbing the postoflice at Mount Joy, June 2S, were heard belore United States Commissioner Edmunds-in Philadelphia, on Tuesday, but Samuel Maloney, alias Weaver, the chief witness against them, who had said that he had seen them commit the robbery weakened when placed on the stand. At first he denied having made any such statement, but when confronted by persons to whom he had told the story he said that he must have been intoxicated at the time. As there was no other evidence the prisoners were released. Why the Insects Are Scarce.

The following letter is self-explanatory; United States Department op Agricvltcre, Division op Entomology, I Washington, p. Aug. 13, D. M. Siva Mi, Lancaster, Fa.

Dear Sir: In the absence of Frof. Riley I beg to acknowledge the receipt of jours of the 10th in reference to tho absence of loaf eating insects the present season. The insect -which you sent us last August was the common Fall Web-worm, whieh was treated at length bv Prof. Riley t.n Bulletin 10 of this Division, copies of which were sent you last jear. If jou perused this Bulletin yon doubtless noticed that the Fall Web-worm has many natural enemies and that it is destroyed in great numbers by a fungus disease.

Now we noticed last summer that the season was particularly favorable co the disease and that nearly all of the last brood of worms were killed off by it This accounts for the immunity from worni3 which wo are enjoying in Washington this season and probably tho same is is the case in your vicinity "also. Yours truly. L. O. Howard, -Acting Entomologist John Austin Stevens, who met General Sheridan when he was in Europe during the Franco-German war, said: I met Gen.

Sheridan at a breakfast given by Dr. Beiard, and I asked him why he was on the Prussian side in tho war. He replied: Mr. Stevens, I came abroad for one purpose to ascertai i tho value of artillery as against trained infantry. I went over the battlefields where the dead were hastily buried and turned over the bodies to discover the nature of their wounds, and the experience confirmed my judgment that artillery was useless.

I do not believe in artillery as an auxiliary of war. General Gibbs, who was with Gen. Sheridan iu the Shenandoah Valley in his advance against Early, once said tome: No cannon was ever fired at General Sheridan that be did not capture. The Lititz Fair Movement.
