THE LECTURE LAST NIGHT.-The
attendance on DIR. pAnsGR's lecture
last night was smaller than We had
expected, and much below what its
extraordinary merits should have
commanded. Within our recollection
we have heard no similar effort which
~ all compares with il in vigOr of eX-
preston, elegance Of diction and
beauty Of illustration. We had in
tended to prepare a synopsis Of it for
the benefit Of readers, but the late
ness of the hour at which we write
viii not permit Us this indulgence for
the present, but we will recur to the
subject at another time. Meanwhile
we indulge the hope that the Doctor
may be prevailed on to repeat his lee
ture al an early day. In stating this
desire We know that we hut express
che Wish of all who were so fortunate
as TO be present last night, since the
universal continent expressed in our
1earing was, that the lecture was the
finest eycr delivered in Memphis, and
should by all means be repeated TO a
larger audience.

Ahead of Jlear6eld.

The following item appears in several of
our exchange papers:
''The Erie County Commissioners, on the
petition of the Return Judges, have allowed
each member of the Election Boards three
days pay for holding the late election, in
stead of two as heretofore.
The Commissioners of Clearfeld county
allow but one days pay to election officers.
For the life of us, we never could see any
good reason why election officers in this
county should be compelled to perform TWEEN
ty hours labor for one days wages, while la
borers have to perform but ten hours work
for the same pay. Other counties pay cleo
ton Boards for two and three days services,
and why should those of Clearfield county
not receive an equal amount for the same
services? We commend this subject to the
careful consideration of the county commits
sioners. and hope that their decision viii be
in favor of an increase of pay to election Off
GERS in the future. THE laborer is worthy
of his hire ~

Self Disfranchisement.

\ numerous class of citizens exist in this
country who habitually refrain from voting
while they profess to be very tenacious of
the rights and privileges guaranteed them by
the laws under which they live, and who
generally are the first to grumble at the re-
suits produced by their own apathy OF neg
lect to exercise the elective franchise. The
Newark AiUertiser, on the eve of the New
Jersey election, in alluding to this self dis
franchised class, said:
If large and respectable class of citizens
were deprived by law or by violence of the
right to vote to morrow, they would go to
work and spare no pains for the recovery of
what they justly consider an inestimable
privilege. Yet every year there is just such
class OF citizens, men who disfranchise
themselves, abandon iohdt they could tight
for II at lrsre not their Ot1n, and so commit
political suicide. They omit to vote and
place themselves under the control of parti-
san masters
Here is little food for reflection, worthy
the attention of alllthis class of Republicans
in Clearfeld county. Had our party friends
exercised this most inestimable right of good
citizens-the right of voting-the majority
against US would have been several hundred
less in this county. We hope all will re-
member this fact, ard hat in the future they
will not sbsent themselves from the polls.

4 War of Fire in Cuba.

General Cespedes, President of the Gu
ban Republic, has issued decree urging
the Cubans devoted to the cause OF Inde-
pendence to the destruction of every sugar
cane field on the island, and that 'the rlpe-
ming tobacco crop be also destroyed as far as
may be, whether in the field or gathered
for curing The object is to reduce AS far
as possible the revenues of s37, 100000
which Spain derives from Cuban sugar, to-
bacco and other products, and from which
she obtains her sinews OF war. The eman-
cipated blacks, who know every plantation,
road and by-path on the island are to be
chiefly employed in this war of fire. ''The
more efectually," says Cespedes, this
work of destruction is accomplished the
more swiftly will our holycause be advanced
and the goal of freedom reached. +" This
has startling sound but such is war. 1t
is precisely the course pursued by Sheri-
dan, under the orders of Grant, in the
Shenandoah Valley, and by Sherman on
leaving Atlanta for his march to the sea.
Cespedes also aims to strike the enemy in
his most vulnerable point, and We may ex-
pect, therefore, that there will be such ter
ribls Examinations over Cuba meantime that,
with the meeting of Congress, the attention
of the two Houses will be drawn by Gener-
al Grant to the expediency of some decisive
measures of Intervention in behalf OF peace

MAJ. GEN. JOHN Z. WOOL.


This old veteran soldier died at his resi-
dence in Troy, New York, on wednesday
morning, November 10th, 1869, aged Sc
years.
General Wool was born in Newburg, New
York, in 1889. He was engaged in the
study of law in Troy when the War of 1872
broke out, and he at once entered the army
as captain of the Thirteenth Infantry. he
was shot through both thighs in storming
the nights of Queenstown, and afterwards
distinguished himself at Plattsburg and
Beekmantown. After the close of the war
he was promoted, in 1921, as Inspector
General of the army, in 1926 as brevet brig
adler general. He was in constant military
service, on various duties. and obtained his
full brigadier rank in lS4l.
At the commencement of the Mexican
war he was detailed to raise volunteers at
the West. In less than six weeks he dis
patched y, 600 troops, armed and equipped,
and afterwards took command of 5000
troops, and made march of nine hundred
miles, from San Antonia de Bexar TO Sal
tillo, without losing scarcely man. He Sc
lected the field of Buena Vista, and com
manded in that battle until General Tay
lor's arrival. General Taylor paid him a
high compliment in his official dispatches
for vigilence, activity, and gallantry. In
January, 1854, General Wool received the
compliment of sword and vote of thanks
from Congress for his services in Mexico.
At the opening of the Rebellion, General
Wool at once rendered his services to the
Government, and was employed in organiz-
ing and forwarding the first regiments raised
in New York He reinforced Col. Dimick
at Fortress Monroe, on his own responsible
ty, and thereby saved that important post.
In August, 1861, he was made commander
of the Department of Virginia. 1t was du
ring this command that President Lincoln
made his celebrated visit to Fortress Mon
folk by an expedition under General Wool,
May 10, 1862 He was shortly afterwards
transferred to the Middle Department with
his headquarters at Baltimore. His com
mission as full Major General in the regular
army dates May Is, 1862.
Since that time, General Wool has lived
in retirement at Troy, and died full of years
and honors Stewart and Wool, two of the
few survivors of the prominent sailors and
soldiers of the war of 1912, have passed "a
way together, both leaving behind them
honorable records of gallant and patriotic
services through long lives devoted to the
cause Of their common country.

HON. ROBERT J. WALKER.

This well known and distinguished citi
zen, after long and painful sickness, died
at his residence in Washington city, on
Thursday morning, November Ilth, 1869,
in the 6Sth year of his age.
Robert James Walker was born in North
cumberland, Pennsylvania, 10 1901; gradu-
ated at the University of Pennsylvania in
1919; studied law and commenced practice
in Pittsburg in 1921. He became an active
Democratic politician, and is credited with
having been the first to propose General
Jackson Tor the Presidency; the party NOM
mating him at the Harrisburg Convention
in 1924. In 1926 Mr.. Walker removed to
Natchez, Mississippi where he became
prominent as both lawyer and politician
In 1885 he was elected United States Sen
ator and continued in tha; post until lo45,
when President Polk appointed him Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and it became his du-
ty, as it was his pleasure, to frame and ad-
vocate the low tariff of 1916, whereby the
Democratic leaders ware to fulfill their cam,
paign promises to the people of Pennsylva-
MIA that Polk was a better tariff man than
Clay. Three native Pennsylvanians, John
X. Kane, Robert j. Walker and George
NJ. Dallas, were active in the work of thus
deceiving the Pcnnsylyanians But Mr..
Walker was always consistently and openly
in favor of free trade, which is more than
eau be said of the others. Through all the
L.. H. T. >
to Buchanan $, Mr. Walker sustained the
great measures of the party. especially the
annexation of Texas and the war with Mex
leo. But after President Polk retirement,
he devoted himself to the practice of law in
the Supreme Court of the United States
When the Kansas troubles were at their
hight, on the resignation of the territorial
goyernorship by Geary, President Buchan-
an appointed Walker to succeed him. His
short administration was fair one, but he
opposed the Le;ompton Constitution, and
because it was adopted by Congress, with
| the approval of the President, he resigned
This was his last service in pubic Office In
! 1861, when the rebellion broke out. he took
decided position in favor of the Govern
ment, and his speeches at the monster Union
meeting in New York and Brooklyn were
among the most effective that were deliver
ed. For his noble stand in that great crisis
the people of Pennsylvania will always re
member him with respect and gratitude
while they can also make allowances for hi
candid and consistent difference in opinion
from them on the subject of protection t,
American industry.
