The fire originated in the Allen

had gained such headway that it was
impossible to check it. This struc-

dry goods store of j. M Allen, the
drug store of Joseph F. Schefcik and

The flames spread to the harness

the battles at Trenton and Princeton,
marked a turning point in the Ameri-
can Revolution. 1t was the victory at
Trenton that first impressed the Brit
iSh with the great strategic genius of
the American commander. But, after
it was all over, he must needs husband
his scattered and ill-prcvisioned army,
while at the same time he must be
within easy striking distance OF the
two great centres, New York and
Philadelphia. 1t was master strike
when Washington came to the hills of
northern New Jersey and took up his
headquarters, first in the Arnold tav-
ern and later in the Ford mansion.
There we can see him still, maintain
ing with dignitied and simple state a

with appropriate ceremony the due
recognition of his exalted rank, en-
couraging his friends, silencing his
enemies and planning with unceasing
vigilance the vast campaigns, reaching

MIR. F0WLER'S BILL.
Tariff Board Measure Outlined-Ald-
rich and cannon Hit

Tariff Board Measure Outlined-Ald-
rich and Cannon Hit.
Representative Charles w. Fowler,
of New Jersey, gave out Sunday night
a statement Quilting and commenting
on the tariff commission bill which he
will introduce in the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes. The bill, as described by
Mr.. Fowler, provides that Congress
shall fix the maximum and minimum
tariff schedules and rates, and that
the commission, consisting of fifteen
members, shall, with the approval of
the President, fix the actual rates to
be paid at some point between the
maximum and minimum rates so es-
tablished by Congress. But no rate
so fixed and approved shall become
effective or operative for eighteen
months after it has been promulgated
by the President, in order that every
industry affected by tariff changes
may have ample time to adjust itself
TO the new conditions.
Ii any one should suggest" says
Mr.. Fowler, that such commission
could not constitutionally fix the tariff
rates at any point between the maxi
mumand minimum rates established by
Congress because that would be an ex-
ercise of legislative power, let him ask
himself whether the power to so fix
rates is any such stretch Of legisla-
tive power as that given to the Inter
state Commerce Commission and ap-
proved by the Supreme Court to fix a
reasonable railroad rate"
Returning to his attack on the pres
ent control Of Congress, M Fowler
declares IL to be now perfectly clear
that unless the Republican party
gets rid Of Aldrichism and Cannonism,
the people will get rid of the Republi-
can party"
He asserts that the peoples hopes
have been turned to disgust and their
faith to resentment, and he says he
does not believe that they will permit
Mr.. Aldrich to pick their pockets
through the legerdemain of words. ="
He prophesies "a thunderbolt of right.
eous indignation and punitive wrath"
as about to strike, shatter and par
alyze the Republican party unless it
utterly repudiates Aldrichism aud It's
subservient complement, Cannonism. !"
Impending defeat and the loss of
the next House Of Representatives,
Mr.. Fowler says, can be avoided only
by emblazoning on our patry banners
these pledges:
First. We are against Aldrichism
and Cannonism.
"Second. We demand tariff revis-
ion hereafter by evolution and not
revolution.
Third. We demand tariff revision
based upon ascertained facts, and not
upon selfish trades and corrupt agree
ments.
Fourth. We demand permanent,
broad and responsible tariff commits
sion, which shall ascertain these facts,
obviate trade wars and assist in Secur-
ing and retaining the good will ana
friendship of all nations by wise, Just
and advantageous trade treaties"

found section of the roadbed, which
had been previously constructed near
a pond half mile northeast of the Par

The only explanation is that there
