A correspondent of the Lock
Haven (Pa) Ecensng Express, thus
writes of a former well-known
clergyman of Point Pleasant.
One of the hardest literary work
ers of this city is Rev. Horace e.
Hayden. He has been resident
of Wilkcsbarre for IL years, and
Notwithstanding his clerical labors
are onerous, he has found time to
write several valuable books and
pamphlets on historical subjects.
He is now engaged on a genealogi-
cal work of great magnitude, in
which the origin and history of sew
eral old Virginia families will be
given, and many errors regarding
them, which have crept into history,
will be corrected. He has shown
wonderful research as we'll as pa.
thence in the collection of materials,
and although the work is heavy,
exacting and perplexing, he seems
to thrive under it. 1t will make, a
volume of S00ssor more pages, will
be invaluable to public and private
libraries, and u monument to the
literary ability, industry and tena-
city OF purpose of its accomplished
author. Mr.. Hayden has also ac-
cumulated library which is partic-
ularly rich in American and gener-
al history, and in rare and curious
books and pamphlets. 1t now
comprises about 1000 volumes. and
is steadily growing. lie also po-
sesses many rare and interesting old
manuscripts relating to Colonial
times, and relics and antiquities in
large numbers. He is one of the
most genial and companionable
of men, as well as one of the most
industrious, pious and learned, and
nothing affords him greater pleas
ure than to exhibit and explain his
treasures of art and literature to his
friends.

Charles Brooks Smith voted for
the Force bill, the Mckinley Tariff

his vote against the interests of his

No one can seriously blame Smith
for voting as he did. A duck can,
not pick \ banjo, nor can a Repub-
lican politician of the ordinary type
rise above the measure of an auto
maton.
But if the people approve of the

They will want protection against
this Mckinley robbery.
How is it, if protection is the best
policy for this country, that during
the low tariff decade of 1850 to 1860
the exports of manufactured pro-
ducts increased III per cent. while
during the next twenty years of
high tariff, just twice the time, the
corresponding increase of manu-
featured products was so per cent?
