Mr. Janies J. Shier, the accomplished and versatile editor of our valued con temporary down the street, braving the dangers to life and health, which all incur who enter the malaria-haunted precinct of the rink (see Gazette of W ednesday), and impelled, no doubt, by a commenda ble spirit of journalistic enterprise, ven tured inside this dreaded building last Fri day night and unless we are misinformed, remained there during the whole of the time that the Republican meeting was go ing on. We are glad \o know that Mr. Shier still lives, and we congratulate him on the fact that his constitution sustained no irreparable damage lErom the strain to which it must have been subjected by this long exposure to a malaria-infected at mosphere. But, although he escaped With his life and presumably without serious damage to his health, it does not follow that he got off with impunity. No one can sin and escape the penalty of sin. What Mr. Shier heard and saw at the Republican meeting seems fo have had a very curious and unfortunate effect upon his mind—or possibly the noxious vapors, ascending to his brain, have produced an obliquity of mental vision, which disabled him from seeing things m their true rela tions, for how, otherwise, can we account for the extraordinary jumble Of misrepre sentation and ridicule, the rambhng tirade of abuse, which the places before its readers in lieu of a truereport of the Repub lican meeting. Our contemporary seems to think that its duty, as the local exponent of Democratic opinion, is to shower down ridicule, misrepresentation and abuse upon all that their opponents do. Accordingly, the Gazette denounces the statements of the speaker as untrue, without proving, or attempting to prove their falsity; ridicules his apt and convincing tariff arguments as “ old protection chestnuts;” derides those who applauded the speaker as an “ ignorant ” lot. Every argument which the QazetU could not answer is a “ chest nut.” In feet, this word figures prom inently in the political vocabulary of the Gazette, and any argument it cannot an swer is labelled “ chestnut.” These choice expressions culled at ran dom from the Gazette report are a fair sample of its method of reporting a Re publican meeting, and we leave it to the public to determine whether this style of treating important subjects is calculated to enlighten or edify its readers. To us, the address dehvered at the nnk by Mr, Teimey, on Friday last, seemed a very able, lucid and convincing exposition of an im portant question, and we are surprised that our contemporary can find nothing therein worthy of its serious considera tion, but only material for misrepresenta tion and ridicule. We are in the midst of apolitical contest the result of which is to determine the fiscal policy of this coun try for years to come. The Republican party is pledged by its platform, by its Whole past history, to a continuation of the protective system, under which our flourishing industries have grown up, under which the country has attained a marvelous development. The Demo cratic party on the other hand, proposes to change all this and enter upon a free trade, tariff smashing era, and when Re publicans cry out “ Beware! think twice nefore you destroy the system w h ich has dotted this country all over with factories and m a d e i t a live w ith the busy hum of industry,” the Gazette cues “chestnuts 1” The protective system advocated by such high minded publicis.s as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Henry C. Cary and Horace Greeley is denounced as a fraud and the very arguments which these men used in urging its adoption are character ized as “ false,” “ illogical,” ‘’abourd,’ ;;r- worthy of consideration, are only amusing because of their extravagance. We can tell the Gazette that its flippant tone in handling public questions, will not jquirements of such readers as OBITUABY. D e a th o f a W e ll K n o w n an d E s tim a b le Young W o m a n .

The weather be ing unfavorable on that date, it was post poned for two weeks, until last Saturday, September 22nd, but rain again prevented. The boys were not going to be outdone, however, so they hired the new Manner- cbor Hall, in St. John’s block, and held a bill instead. The hall was well filled with pleasure seekers, and a very enjoy able time was had. The music was fur nished by dune’s orchestra of 7 pieces, and was very good.

Officer Philip Gorr this morning ar- rested John Skinner on a warrant in which he was charged with assault in the second degree, in attempting to shoot one John Van Gorder. The facts in connection with the crime are as follows : The complainant Van Gorder worked on the farm of Mr. Na than Skiimer, the father of the prisoner. It seemed that on Saturday evening he was coming from a field with a basket filled with com. Just about this time John Skinner drove up to the bam in an intoxicated condition. He drove the horse up to the corner of the bam and jumped out. Van Gorder attempted to pass between the horse and the comer of the barn, and, as he stooped down to pass under the horse’s head with the basket, Skinner who was on the other side, hit him in the face. Van Gorder immediately dropped the basket and straightened up, when Skinner followed him. Van Gorder then told Skinner that if he did that again he would thrash him. Skinner who is a large strong man, then said, “ You will, will you,” and simultaneously pulled a re volver from his inside pocket and fired at Van Gorder. The bullet would un doubtedly have found a lodgement in Van Gorder’s person if it had not been for the fact that Skinner was intoxicated and ex cited, and for that reason his aim was not Van Gorder immediately repaired to the residence of Judge Allerton at Carpenter’s Point and told him his story. The Judge issued a warrant for his arrest upon the facts as detailed above. Officer Gorr ar rested him and brought him before Judge Allerton where he was arraigned to ans wer the charge. Through his counsel Wilton Bennett he pleaded not guilty and asked to have his hearing adjourned until Oct. 1st. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000 and the hearing adjourned until that time H. B. Fullerton looked after the case for the people and the complainant V w Gorder. Nathan Skinner, father of the prisoner, who is an honorable and upright man, and one of our best citizens, keenly feels his son’s disgrace. He has the sympathy of all his friends. The crime charged against the defendant is not a trifling matter but a crime of high degree. If Skinner is convicted, he will certainly find a very narrow space between four ex tremely solid walls, in which he will have ample time to reflect over the folly of this kind of pistol practice. Van Gorder, who so narrowly escaped, is a quiet, inoffensive man, and the con duct of Skinner towar(^ him can be attri buted to no other cause than that he was intoxicated. ju n tr y and the pauper labor of Europe. This is what the Democratic party must j before it can ju s ti f y itself before the A m e rican people. The Democratic party, always the foe of protective legislation, has at last been forced through the action of President Cleveland, into a position of open and avowed antagonism. The issue hitherto A GENEROUS ACT, The Order of Railway Conductors held a meeting at their rooms in the Farnum building yesterday afternoon, and by a unanimous vote it was resolved to donate the entire sum realized at their recent picnic at Shohola, $553.53 m amount, to Mr. Frank Rosencranz, the well-known and popular conductor who ran the Orange County Express for so many years between this station and Jersey City. We record this instance of generosity and good feeling upon the part of the con ductors, with much pleasure. Mr. Rosen cranz is an excellent, citizen and we are sure that the conductors could n o t have made a better disposition of the money. T H E PR IV A T E SCHOOL.

Superintendent Billings of the Pullman Palace Car company, walked quietly out into the Eric yard a few nights ago to see whether some of his coaches were being put in condition to go west. He came across an emerald green son of Galway, who was busy washing off one of the car hoods,andclimbed upon the car’s platform to begin an inspection, when the afore said gentleman from Galway confronted him with the following remarks : “ You can’t go in this car, sor ; oim washin’ it and have full charge.” Mr. Billings, who supposed, of course, that all the railroad men knew him, mildly replied in his own original manner : “ Are you an Erie or a Pullman man ?” “ Oim nather, boss,” re plied the gentleman from Galway, with native wit, “ oim an Irishman.” The diningrooms at the Erie’s Homells- ville station on the Western division are now in charge of Mr. George Rogers, son of the well known Rogers who ran this famous restaurant so many years, and is still proprietor of the dining room in the new Erie depot at Jersey City. The Hor- nellsville dining rooms are a favorite place with travellers who know how to appreciate the treat of a first class meal at a railroad restaurant. Everything is first class on the tables, even to a variety of fresh fruit. The attention given to guests is untiring, and no one is allowed to go away unsatisfied. Twenty minutes is given for meals, and the price is hut 75 cents.

Sanford. The Port Jervis branch of the Y. M. 0. A. celebrated its third anniversary yester day. In the afternoon the men’s meeting, that is usually held in the rooms, was held in the Opera House and was conducted by Mr. W. E. Tenno of New York city. There was a fair attendance, and the meeting was deeply interesting. The anniversary exercises were held in the Presbyterian church in the evening. All the other up-town churches were closed, and pastors and people centered their thoughts and sympathies upon the work for the young men. The church was packed with an audience that showed by their close attention, that they were eager to learn of the accomplish ments by and the possibilities of the as- sociation. Mr. C. G. Lockwood, Vice-President of the Port Jervis branch, had charge of the meeting. The four churches were repre sented by their pastors, who occupied seats upon the pulpit platform, and each one took some part in the services. After the opening exercises, the annual report of the branch was read by D. D. Eaton, General Secretary, which we give in brief. There are 284 names on our member- up bools, of which 136 are railroad men, are clerks, students and business men, while 32 are boys under 17 years of age. 285 of this nuipber are paid up to date. We had a balance in the treasury of $2.40 from last year. During the year ' have received from the railroad compa $580, members dues $425.25, one ent^...- tainment $1.60, gymnasium subscription $32 50, Young Peoples Social and Liter ary Union $30.20, collections from two :ipti public services $12.16, other subscriptions $21, making a total of $1145.11. Paid out during the year $1135.23, leaving a balance of $9»23 to comment year with. Besides this the pany has furnished us with ( $1135.23, leavini commence the prese railroad com- our rooms and _>s them in repairs, also furnishes us with light and fuel free of charge. 14,617 men have called at the room and 1,701 baths have been given to members.

The report closed with a summary of the lone by the association in our town during the three years of its existence, showing that it did, indeed pay. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. G. A. Sanford of Newburg. Bis remarks were from a business man’s standpoint, he being of the firm of Turner & Sanford of that city. He s.iid the work was like that done by a certain farmer, whom he •visited last summer. He had a piece of waste ground that was entirely useless, until he changed the course of a stream that ran through his farm, and so irrigated it that the waste acres became a fertile and valuable piece of land, which was not only of benefit to the owner, but to the whole town near which it was located, by its productiveness. So, said he, there are waste acres in the lives of many young men in your town. I see it stamped upon their faces, and the work of the associa tion is to turn a stream around their lives, that will make men of them, who shall be ornaments to society and whose memory shall remain longer than life. One of the greatest needs for effectually carrying on the work in your town, is a new building. One that will be an ornament to the place, located upon a principal street, that will be more easy of access than a saloon, and one of which every young man shall feel proud to own that he has a part in i t ; with rooms and conveniences so pleasant that the attraction will be greater than the places of vice. What more beautiful, worthy and lasting monument can any man erect to his own memory, or in what way can a man, or men, become a bless ing to the present and future generations of young men of Port Jervis, more than to see that such a building is erected. Mr. Tenno followed with a recital of the rise and work of the railroad branch, and cited many incidents of the good de rived from Us labors. In thort, the Young Men’s Christian Association is for the physical, social, moral and spiritual de velopment of the men, particularly of young men.

Postmaster Larkin of Pittsburg, Fa., a Democratic boss, admits that the employes of the postoffice and of other federal of fices in that city have paid a portion of their salaries into the Democratic cam paign fund. The amount contributed is said to be 4 per cent, of each man’s salary. Charles B. Waite, a Chicago lawyer and formerly a Supreme Court judge in that state, holds that woman has a right to vote by common law, that women were voters in all the original American states, and that the statutes excluding them are unconstitutional and invalid. He will ar gue this question at length in the October issue of the Imo Times, and maintain that the disfranchisement of women is one of the greatest political crimes of the age. F R E E T R A D E R S ! REA D . Some Figures fo r th e Consideration of We commend the ' following clipped from the N. Y. Press to the consideration of those who are continually pointing .to England, as an example for us to fol low. When Richard Cobden and John Bright entered upon their free trade cru sade in that country, free trade was lauded as the panacea, which was to cure pauperism and all social e^ls, the sine qua rum of national prosperity. That free trade in England has disappointed the san guine expectations of its authors will be apparent from a consideration of the fol- lowfaig : The paraders of the English pauper buga boo, imported by Nat McKay free of duty to% campaign purposes, dare not tell their hearers the fact that “ forty years ago, under a strictly protective system, the number of ahlebodied paupers in the United Kingdom, with a population of less than 29,000,000, was 934,419, and that in 1883, after a long period of practical free trade and with a population of over 86,000,000 the number of able bodied paupers bad actually decreased to 709,296,” Your cam paign bugaboo is nothing if not liar or a straw stuffed spook.— World.
