early revolters against established federal
law in this country, who in 1894 joined in
what has ever since been known as the
whisky rebellion. Tt occurred in 1894,
when George Washington was president.
A federal excise law had been passed in
1871.
Unpopular as 1t generally was, it nev-
ertheleSS was carried into execution by the
officers of government except in a few
counties Of Western Pennsylvania. Re-
Sistance by the people there was followed
by defiance of the law in an increasing
degree as forebarance by the government
was had in the hope that respect for law
would soon assert itself.
Prosecutions were ordered in 1894, and
LenoX, the marshal, serving the process,
and General Neville, the inspector, were
attacked by an armed mob and compelled
to deSiSt from the execution of their Of
fetal duties
1.-THE next day a mob of 500 assembled
and endeavored to seize the person of the
marshal. Failing in that, they eXacted a
promise from him that he would serve no
more processes in the district west of the
Allegheny. They then set fire to the in
spectors house, destroying it, with its
contents.
"The mob also demanded that the mar
shall and the inspector resign; but they
refused, and sought safety in flight.
MANY reasonable acts and unlawful
assemblies followed, causing President
Washington to issue proclamations COM
manding the insurgents to dispense, and
warning others against abetting them.
Federal troops were sent into the districts
of outlawry, and General Lee, command

granted amnesty to all who had submit

The supreme arrogance of the hackers
of this movement has caused their efforts
to fall fat with thousands of voters in
the Sixth district who, in the November
election, expressed their view that pro-
hibitory laws should be repealed.
MANY Of the signatures upon the doc

A large number are from persons who
live outside of the Sixth district; many of

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,
FATHER OF AMERI-
CAN DIPLOMACY

America has never produced
a greater statesman than
FRANKLIN. The great
Lord CHATHAM pronounced
him not only an honor to the
Anglo-SaXon people, but to
human nature. He it
was who induced France to
lend us ships, men, and money
during the darkest days of the
Revolution. Upon his death
Congress ordered a general
mourning of a month. In
France it was decreed that all
members of the National AS
sembly should wear mourning
for three days. So long as
Americans treasure the Re-
public and Personal Liberty
the fame of FRANKLIN
can never perish. Personally
he was possessed of robust
health; he was a mod
crate user all his lifetime of
Old Madeira and barley-malt
brews. 1t is safe to say that
he toasted the New Republic
with every great man of
Europe and America.
