TIE LATE LEMuEL STETsoN.-Hon
Pittsburgh on Sunday, nth Mr.. Stotson
was born at Champlain, n. Y, in 1901.
Early in his professional career he was
made District Attorney, and in Novem-
Der, 1912, after serving three sessions as
OF the New York Assembly, he
was elected Representative to the 2sth
Congress, from the lsth Congressional
District, composed of the counties OF
Franklin, Warren and part of
that Of Hamilton. The Hon. Mr. Stot-
son was equally capable in the Congress
Chamber, as he had been in the Assembly
Room; and in the first session II his term
he was member of the committee on
foreign affairs, and also one of that ON
Revolutionary claims. IN the second ses-
sion he was appointed chairman of the
committee on the District of Columbia
In April, 1876, Mr.. Stetson was elected
delegate to the convention called and held
at Albany, to amend the constitution of
the State, at which convention he was APP
pointed chairman of the committee to
consider the powers and duties of the
Legislature, not otherwise referred
In ls41 he was elected County Judge
He was at one time the Democratic can
didate for State Comptroller. Was a
Barnhurner in 1S4s, left his party, and
for time acted with the Republicans as
a war Democrat in 1861, when he was
elected to the Assembly and served with
distinction. Subsequently, however, he
to the Democracy, but took no
very active part in politics. The loss of
his son, Col. Stetson, in the battle of
South Mountain, was terrible blow,
from which Mr. $ never recovered. He
was man of warm heart and generous
nature, and all who knew him will regret
MS dcceasc.
An EFFoRr AGAINST HONE INDUS
TRY-An insidious effort is being made
at Washington to repeal the provision in
the Pacific Railroad bills which requires
that all the iron used in their construc-
tion shall be OF American manufacture.
This iniquitous movement should be
strongly resisted by every Senator and
Representative who has at heart the well
fare of the nation. One Of the most pro-
life causes of railroad accidents is the use
OF cheap and inferior iron purchased in
England and the attempt TO draw from
the national treasury moneys to be ex.
pended for English rails, and to ruin
American manufactures, canno, be to,
bitterly denounced.
