Tor hearing before Judge Voris in the

tempt on the part of this state to reg
ulate interstate commercs, in contra
vention of the constitution of the

void.
The demurrers were argued at con-
siderable length. Mr.. Sheahan's ad-
dress occupied one hour and forty-five
minutes, during which he reviewed
the Federal and state decisions on the
subject, and which seemed to settle

A Russian Juggle of Words.

From the Outlook
You do not change a mans state by call
ing him another name. The liberation OF
the serfs was merely a Juggling of words;
the Russian peasant is not and never has
been free. England paid its colonists mil
lions and set their negro slaves free. Rus
STA liberated the serfs by ordering them to
pay to the state an amount equal TO the
capitalizat ton of the dues their Landlords
extorted, plus the cost OF collection. The
contention of the peasants was that they
were unable to pay the sums the landlords
demanded as being beyond the yield OF the
land occupied. The annual levies are more
than the dues used to be: the tenants got
into arrears; the forty-nine yearly pay
ments which were to bring about the re-
demptfon of the land will not balance the
outlay and to all intents and purposes the
payments are imperial taxes and perma-
nent,

came His wife and several children sur
vive him. The children are Mrs. NJ NJ
Flannery, Miss Mary Fowler, Mr.. E. c.
Fowler of kensington, Md, Mr.. r. w.
Fowler of Riverdale, Mr. w. w. Fowler of
Washington and the Misses Estelle, Grace
and Eva Fowler of Riverdale.
Mr.. Fowler came to Washington from
Baltimore about 1870 and entered the Post
ONCE Department at once. He occupied
positions of great responsibility from the
very beginning of his service and was re-
garded as one of the most efficient and
trustworthy clerks in the service.
Sketch of His Career.
Mr.. Fowler was born in Baltimore July
1, 1887, and came to Washington in his
early manhood clerk in the Post Office
Department. During his long service he oc-
cupied many positions of trust and respon-
sibility.
In December, 1869, he was appointed to-a
clerkshtp in the appointment division Of the
hrst assistant postmaster generals Office.
He knew many of the public men Of the
country, of every state, section and po-
litical creed. His initials upon thousands
Of cases have been sufficient to pass them
Most of the work of selecting appointees
under his division was in his charge. Few
men established for themselves such a rec
ord of judiciouS, discreet, confidential SER
vice as he, and it reflects great credit upon
him that his work provoked so little criti-
cism, inasmuch ii dealt with small com
munities, where petty jealousies and rival
rles so often cut figure in the selection
of the postmaster. He had charge of the
appointments of between 10 900 and 10000
poStmaSters annually.
Declines Preferment.
In 1885, when Malcolm Hay was ap-
pointed to the position of first assistant
postmaster general, he was dying with con-
sumption, and went to Florida leaving the
Office in charge of Mr.. Fowler. For three
months, although holding over from a
republican administration the office was
committed entirely to him, and all let
tiers and papers bore his signature as ..act-
ing frst assistant postmaster general" 1t
is well known that Colonel Villas then
Postmaster General, was only deferred
from urging Mr.. Fowler's appointment as
the head of the office by political consid-
eratiCns His work and worth were highly
appreciat
When asked II he desired the position at
that time, Mr.. Fowler said 1T is not an
office to be sought by me, for l am poor
man. L could not afford to take it for a
few years, and then be sent adrift l have
a large family to support, and am well con-
tented to remain chief of my division
That reply is characteristic of the man
He was not ambitious for preferment but
was simply Woodworking, faithful public
servant. He was practical and devoted to
his family.
