United states IN the last twenty-five
years. The Proteciionists tell us the
country is very prosperous, and say
that the tariff is the cause of the great
development in America. / deny the
statement in full. In the first
place the United States is not
in prosperous condition, but the
great de elopment has gone on in
spite of protection, on account of the
cheap land which has been open to
settlement by people Of all nations,
and also on account of the develop
ment and use of steam power. We
would have had much greater devel-
opment had not the productive power
of the people been curtailed by the
tariff to enrich a privileged class
Wien the mortgages on the farms in
in those old States of Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio have been increas-
ing some hundreds of millions of dol
lars per year, l deny the assertion
that those States are prosperous.
Does it look like vision of prosperity
to see every city in the United States
filed with idle men from Europe
ready to listen to schemes of Anarchy
and Socialism? 1t is less than thirty
years ago when it was customary in
the Middle States for people to leave
their horses at night with unlocked
doors and windows without the fear o.
tramps and thieves. Now it is quite
the contrary as those States are swarm
ing with the idle and vicious, the di
rect outgrowth of protection. Does il
seem like sky radiant with the sun
beams Of prosperity when you hear or
every side the muttering thunder o
the coming storm? Does it seem like t.
vision of prosperity to see q countr,
capable Of ofsupporting hundreds of mil
lions of people-exporting millions o
dollars Of food-and yet having thou
sands on the verge OF starvation, will

in connection with the Chief Justice
ship. Mr.. Fuller, after leaving COL
lege, began the study of law in the
Office of his uncle, George Melville
Weston, at Bangor. After attending
lectures in the law department Of
Harvard University he began the
practice Of his profession in Augusta
in 1855. While waiting for tents he
acted as editor Of the Age, AMI won
his spurs in journalism.
Feeling that his true field of work
was the law, and realizing that his
native city did not afford that scope
for effort which he stood in need Of,
Mr.. Fuller came West and selected
Chicago. Here he did not have to
wait long for practice. His ability
was speedily recognized and properly
rewarded. For thirty years he has
enjoyed lucrative practice and has
won distinction among the foremost
at this bar. In 1861 he was elected a
member of the State Constitutional
Convention. In 1862 he was
chosen to the Legislature, and, al
though q Democrat, running each
time in strong Republican district,
he was victorious by large majorities.
He was delegate to the Democratic
National Convention of 1864, 1872,
1876 and 1880. In 1860, when he had
been in Chicago only about three
years, he was selected by the citizens
to deliver the address of welcome to
Stephen A. Douglass. 1t was an elo-
quent, scholarly and brilliant effort
In 1858 Mr.. Fuller married Carrie O.
Reynolds, and, after her decease
Mary Ellen, daughter of the dis
tinguished banker, William F. Cool
baugh. He has eight daughters
Mr.. Fuller's most prominent traits o
character are incorporating integ
rity, devotion to the interests Of hi
clients, industry for the sake of tn,
pleasure there is in labor and love o
family and home.

WatertoWn Shoe Factory.

No enterprise in our city bears better
tokens of success than the WATERFOWL
shoe factory. Thirty hands are now en-
ployed turnirg out an average of 100
pairs OF shoes day. The company is at
present running on orders for immediate
delivery and the demand for the goods is
increasing at promising rate. The en-.
ployes are working on full time, 10 hours
per day. The company has two statesmen
on the road. The factory is now running
altogetheron the manufacture of medium
styles Of ladies and miases' shoes, but soon
boys and youths mike will be added.
The shoes turned out have thus far given
splendid satisfaction, and there is every
reason for believing that the WATERFOWL
shoe factory will soon take front rank
among the manufacturing establishments
of the state.

From the close attention given by every
member Of the bench during the progress
of the arguments OH both sides it was
very manifest that the judges were deeply
interested in the case and that something
of more than ordinary importance was be-

The great solicitude our citizens feel
over the coming decision from the highest
tribunal in the land is not surprising 80

The Coming Election of Bishop
Welles' Successor.

VTCilCS SONNCSSOI'
Tn significant contrast with the very
general public and even acrimonious con-
tention over the rival claims of various
candidates prior to and pending the cleo
ton of the late Bishop Welles, there is at
this time an almost total lack OF discus
sion among the clergymen as well as laity
in regard to the probable or desirableout-
come of the special diocesan council which
is TO convene Dec. IL to select a new bish-
CD for the see of Milwaukee. The former
occasion has been trenchantly though
somewhat IRE yerently characterized as a
"high, low, church and the name sort
of time.
But now," said prominent church
man Yesterday, exactly the reverse of all
this ia true There has, of course, been
deal of canvassing among the laity as well
as clergy in behalf OF various candidates
personally the tavorites OF their several
advocates. And in this way it may be
said that the names of five prominent
clsrpymen have become familiar to Us as
those from whom, in all probability, a
choice will ultimately be made. These
gentlemen are Rev. DR.. Albert st. John
Chambre, of Lowell, Mass; Rev. DIR. w.
Fl. Vibbert, rector oil st. James church,
Chicago; Rev. DR.. J. S. V. Hodges, of
Baltimore; Rev. DR.. Frederick T. Daven-
port. of Cairo, H.; and Rev. DR.. Cyrus F.
knight, of Lancaster, Pa. The three
e no hoor
to the attention of prominent delegates
to our council by correspondence, IN part
solicited. But Drs Knight and Daven-
port are comparatively well-known per-
sonally or by fame to many in this see.
The latter is estimated to be as sound
canopist as we have in the church. He
ia indeed professor of canonical law in our
Chicago seminary. He is, moreover, an
active man and a writer of reputation.
Dr. Knight has repeatedly been a dele
gate in the general conferences, and de-
servedly prominent in every instance.
Upon the occasion of the last, held two
years ago in Chicago, be made many
friends here as we'll as in Nashosah by
brief visits, during which he preached at
both places with much success.
"Other names have also been mention
ed. as to- instance those of Rev. DR.. Geo.
R. Van de Water, of New York, and of
Rev. John 2. Gaylor, of Memphis, Tenn.
But there is reason to think that none of
these will be seriously considered. 1t
seems likely from all can learn at this
time, that not single delegate will enter
the council as an advocate of his favorite;
but rather that all will be open to con-
viction for the good of the diocese, which,
from its extent and peculiar configuration,
would seem to require the selection OF
bishop of active habits and robust health /;
in other words, younger man though OF
matured character and fixed mental hab-
it's. AS to so much there seems to be a
general conceDsus."
The basis of representation in the coun-
eli! is one vote for each clergyman and
clerical professor and one for each parish,
represented by four laymen, tie vote
among whom thus DISTINGUISHES the parish
al such. The vote itself is taken by Or
ders a majority in each being necessary
to an election. -MilUouke Sentinel.

Death of Mrs. L. a. Charboneau.

Death of Mrs. L. A. Charboneaus
The death of Mrs. Elmire j. Charboneau,
wife of L. A. Char boneau, at her home
ar Centralia, Friday, November %, 1883,
is learned by her friends 10 this city with
unfeigred sorrow, and the warmest SYM
patty is extended to the stricken husband
in his deep affliction. Deceased was a
person beloved by everybody possessed of
her acquaintance, aud the great loss sus-
tanned by her family and friends by this
visitation of the angel of death is best told
by the following taken from The Grand
Rapids Reporter:
ct is with sadness of heart that we note
the death OF one of CeDtralia's fairest
daughters 10 the person of Mrs. Emire
Jessie Charboneau nee Colriveau. A
Young woman who was loved by all those
who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
We bad reason to know her intimately as
she was a playmate aud schoolmate of
ours when we attended school in that city
as children She possessed the attributes
girl, woman and mother. Enemies were
| unknown to her. such she never had.
Friends were only comprised by the ex-
| tent of her acquaintance In the cOmmu
pity Her place can never be filled more
acceplably and perfect in her own home,
at the family homestead or in the COM
mun;ty in which she lived. She was
known to be1quite a lover of her home
| and gave all her efforts towards beautify-
| inc that place which she admired most
home.
Her sickness was of short duration. She
was taken sick on Monday the 10Th and
gradually grew worse until death relieved
her suffering on Friday afternoon follow
ing at l o'clock. Her trouble was that of
the heart.
Mrs. Charboneau was born in Contra
lia May LIST, 1862, and was therefore 26
years, 6 months and % days old when she
died. She was married to L. A. Charbo-
neau, February 14th, 1881. This union
was blessed with a son who ia now six
years of age, aud with her husband are
| left TO mourn her early and sudden de-
parture.
The funeral services took place at the
Catholic church in this city Tuesday
morning. That large edi6ce was crowded
with admiring friends of the deceased.
! The Aoral decorations were few but choice.
A "Gste ajar" and 1.-TWO crosses with
several beautiful boquets constituted the
list They were costly and elegantly pre-
pared. They were symbolical of the life
of the one in whose honor they were given
] Spo.less in their purity and uniform in
their beauty. Rev. Byerle oficiated over
the High Mass services which was con-
duc1ed in the usual way. The service
wa. impressive and the singing excellent.
, After the funeral services were over about
one hundred teams followed the remains
to the Catholic cemetery where they were
deposited in their last resting place by
loving hands. The grave was beautifully
decorated with flowers and evergreens
which had been arranged by lady friends
of the deceased"

No newspaper in the campaign just pass
ed had a more comman ding influence
than The Inter Ocean, and for the great
victory won by the Republican party no
small part of the credit is due that jour
nal. Even those not agreeing with it
on political questions admire and bear
testimony to its sterling honesty and fear
lessness in the advocacy of what it con-
siders right and just in the settlement of
all matters involving the welfare of the
Nation. As family newspaper The
Inter Ocean is clean, and it treats social

should send for The Inter Ocean.
