The Somerset Herald. EDWUU) SCULL. Editor ud Proprietor, WEDNESDAY. MAT SO, W. Thk Senate and House promptly passed the indigent soldiers' burial bill over the (rovenior's veto, and it is now a lav. On in Iowa, bar-rooms are sup plied with beef tea and buttermilk, and indignant Democrats are cure ing civil service reform as the cause. Ma. Cleveland and his Cabinet are swinging their axes vigorously. Republican officials are decapitated by the score, and the rebel Briga diers are gathering the fruits of their victory. This Legislature is great on lit tle things. It is strongly opposed to the people being cheated with bogus butter, but is gayly indiffer ent to their being robbed by rail road corporations. Mr. Blackbcrs, of Kentucky now wishes he had not learned to write. The President couldnt stand that bloody letter written to his wife, and bss revoked bis appoint ment as Collector. Miss Jane Holmes, an old maid en lady who died in Pittsburg a few days since, willed her entire estate, amounting to more than a million of dollars, to various charitable in stitutions in and around that city. The Republicans in the Legisla ture are at great pains to make a dis trict from which Samuel J. Randall can be continually elected to Con gress, and Mr. Randall is at equally as great pains to urge the kicking out of office of every Republican in the State that Mr. Cleveland can reach. Admirable reciprocity, ain t it? It is good cause lor removal from offiee which, in the language ot Mr. Cleveland, is a "public trusf to be an "offensive (Republican) partisan," but it is the only recom mendation for office, to be an of fensive Democratic partisan. This makes the difference between twee-dle-dee and tweedle-dum very ap parent. Chairman Cooper says that, in accordance with the rules, he will issue a call for the Republican State Convention for the second Wednes day in July. The fool rule requir ing the convention to be held in the bot month of July should be abol ished. September is early enough, and a campaign of six weeks is long enough for all practical pur poses. It is asserted that General Rose crans will be appointed Register of the Treasury, to fill the vacancy created bv the invited resignation of B. K. Bruce. "Old Rosy" made an ass of himself by his bitter person al hostility to placing General Grant on the retired list Still, the old fellow was a galland Uuion soldier, and we are pleased to see him adorn the Presidential nosegay, where he will bloom, a Rose among thorns, The count of the money in the Treasury bas been finished ; the missing two cents were found on the floor, where they had been dropped; the books were examined and found to correspond exactly with the cash on hand, and the new Treasurer ad mits everything correct and satis factory. Now let us see whether the party thst has been accusing Republican officials with rascality. can make the same honest and cor rect exhibit at the end of four years, when the Republicans will again as sume the reins of government. One of the first acta of Mr. Dan . iel Manning when he became Sec retary of the Treasury, was to dis miss aix Special Agents, and tbis piece of alleged economy was speed ily telegraphed all over the country. Mr. Manning has already replaced them with six sound Democrats, and his alleged economy is no long er visible to the naked eye. The Secretary has only proven himself a sneak, not an economist If he wanted to turn out six Republicans and put in six Democrats, why did he not do so like a little man f The country knows him as a "spoils Democrat," and he can't gather civil service laurels by a transparent trick of this kind. - There is noth ing so despicable as a sneak ! Fekksylvakia was lost to the Republicans at the last Guberna torial election, through a stupid bowl against leadership "Bossisoa" waa the cant term. A pitiful lack of leadership in the present House, is the evident cause of its stumbling, shilly-shally, do-little course, dur ing this session. There is do lack of Ability in the House, but it plain ly lacks a leader in wbom tne ma jority has confidence,- and bence it has drifted about aimlessly during an act of the session. "Independent thooxht1 mav be a most desirable Chlog when independent action on ly k required, bat where concentra tion is necessary, independent ac tion is simply stupidity, or worse. It is unfortunate, but it is evident ly true, that the Republican party is again reaping the fruits at Har- tisborg, of the silly cry against lead erahip, whiofa lost it the State, little snore than two yeaas ago. Another battle for the right was lost at Harrisbnrg last week, by the defeat of the bill to prevent dis crimination In railroad freights. This bill was so obviously in the in terests of the public, end the people in almost every portion of this Com monwealth have suffered such ex tortions in railroad freights, that we are amazed at the hardihood of their representatives in voting down a measure intended for their relief. People cannot be deceived on the merits of this question. The oner ous charges imposed on them by the railroads, whenever and where ever they have the power, is felt throughout every channel of busi ness, and in every hamlet in the State, and we are gravely mistaken if such of their unfaithful repreetn tatives as preferred serving the in terests of these grasping corpora tions, rather than protect their con stituents, are not called to account If the railroads think that in win ning this preliminary skirmish they have settled their right to extort from local traffic, the losses made by competition for through freiehte, we opine they are mistaken. The war is only opened, success is nouna 10 come, and if they force the people to make this an issue in the election of representatives, the more certain will be the overthrow of their out rageous eystem of discrimination in freights. At last we have an authoritative announcement of what in the eyes of this Administration, constitutes "offensive partisanship." Postmas ter General Vilas bas issued a "con fidential" circular to the Democrat- members of Congress, in which It! he savs : "I will require no more proof of partisanship, than that the postmaster has been an active editor or proprietor of a Republican news paper printing offensive articles, easily shown by elips ; or a stamp speaker or membei cf a political committee, or officer of a campaign club, or oreanizer of political meet ings, or that his office has been the headquarters of campaign work, or that his clerks have been put into the performance of political duties." Under these sweeping specifications there is not an officeholder in this broad land who cannot be classed as an "offensive partisan," and it is verv plain that Mr. Vilas is simply marking out a plan to be pursued by faithful Democrats, in malting application for a share of the spoils. The flimsy pretext of "civil service reform," with which Mr. Cleveland launched his administration, is grad ually being withdrawn, and Mr. Vilas's declaration in favor ot "this justice to our people which consists of the reward or enemies ana me substitution of our friends," is only reiteration ot the party's well- known doctrine, "to the victors be long the spoils." Republicans, as a party, have no favors to ask ot tnis Administration, and we are pleased to note that it is wearying of its thin mask of reform, and showing a disposition to take an open and manly stand in favor of :U true principles. The bill requiring private bank ing institutions to make reports of their financial condition the Auditor Genera! was, after much discussion, defeated last week in the House, whose chief business seems to be the overthrow or all measures de signed for the protection of the peo ple. The chief arguments against this wholesome measure were, that "it waa an invasion of private rights," and that " people are not obliged to deposit with private banka." Nothing could be more flimsy. A bank, whether private or otherwise, whether owned by one or a acore of individuals, appeaia to the public for deposits, and the pub lic bas a right to know ita money is cafe, where it is deposited. And it does not meet the question to say that people are not obliged to de posit their money with private banks if they do not choose to do so. In many communities there are none but private banks, and de posits must be made with them, or not at all. The private banker as sumes a public function, and should be amenable to public supervision in the interests of the public, and there is no good reason why private bankers should be exempt from le gal supervision. Mr. Colborn is reported as stating in debate, that "the act would wipe out private banks," and that there were four in his county, all protest ing against it This was an ill-con sidered declaration on the part of our generally astute representative. For veara. all private banks and bankers have made just such reports as this act contemplated, to the Na tional authorities, and as yet tbey are not wiped out of existence. - - j a How sound banks or bankers could be injured we fail to see; and it is only fair play, common sense, and rudimental law that in business transactions, there should be recip rocal knowledge and responsibility between the parties to the contract Why should a bank be permitted to exact a nota with an approved en dorser as security, fur a loan, and refuse security for a deposit? It is useless however, to now argue in favor of an Act that bas been de feated, but we think that the peo ple's interests demanded its passage, and that in opposing it, the bankers exhibited a short-sighted policy, as the mere fact of their hostility to a proposed accountability, to which National and State banks are re quired to conform, is calculated to impair public confidence in their solvency.

DISLOYALTY REWARDED. Senator Frye Arraignment or Presi dent Cleveland. Wabhlnotos, D. O, May 10. Senator Frye, of Maine, has written a letter in answer to inquires as to bis opinion of the appointment of Eben F. Pillsbury to be Collector of Internal Revenue of Massachusetts,' which contains some pungent sen tences desriptive of some of Mr. Cleveland's appointments, and of the Democratic paty. "Where does Mr. Pillsbury fall be low the average of the nominations aleady made by the President, and very generally approved by the press inquires Mr. Frye. "He is a lawyer of respectable standing, a man of agreeable man ners, of correct habits, and of un doubted fidelity to bis party. He was a copperhead? Yes, but no more determined and outspoken in his diiloyalty than Mr. Phelps, whose nomination to the most im portant position of Minister to Eng land was so favorably viewed and confirmed. No more so than Mr, Bayard, whose Doytr?peech fright ened even the Democrats from nom inating him as their candidate for the Presidency. No more so than Mr. McLane, Minister to France. No more so than Mr. Pendleton, Minister to Germany, was openly denounced as a traitor during and after the war. No more so than two-thirds of the nominees thus far named for conspicuous places. I believe every successful candidate from the South was a rebel. Some of them are even now publicly de fending their treachery. Some of them are unwilling to bend the knee sufficient to ask the removal of their political disabilities. "But Pillsbury was an adviser in the State so called and admitted, and his party, the earn now admin istering the Government, from whose ranks officials are to be selected, no blyy stood by him, and has since in every way possible indorsed the attempt One can count on his fin gers every prominent Democrat who denounced the outrage and every Democratic paper discountenancing it even in the mildest terms. "Aeain, there is hardly an intel ligent man in the country who wouldn't conscience speaking, ad mit that at least five State Govern ments in the South have been worse than stolen, have been seized by fraud, tissue ballots and false counts and whenever necessary by whole sale murder. Thousands have been slaughtered, simply because they were Hepubucans ana stood in the way of such seizures. General Phil Sheridan, after care ful examination, reported over 3,000 in Louisiana. Mississippi was wrested from the Republican by the shot gun campaign of 1S7G, a present U. S. Senator being Chair man of the Democratic Committee then running the campaign, and now a bower in the distribution of Federal Patronage. Another Sena tor from that State (Mr. Lamar") gathered the fruits of that damna ble campaign, is at the head of one of the most important Government epartments, himself distributing patronage, lowers tne Hag in mem ory of the most atrocious traitor on the list, champious Jefferson Davis, and is confirmed bv the Senate without division. If you hope to see the offices of this country filled for the ensuing four years by men who have been true to the country for the past twenty-five years, who have been fathful to the best wishes of the people, have favored meas ures to defeat rebellion, to restore the credit of the Nation, to estab lish a sound currency, to purify the ballot to insure honest elections and an honest count, to guarantee to ev ery citizen all of his rights under the constitution, to educate tne peo ple and fit them for sovereignty, I greatly fear that you are doomed to bitter disappointment Mr. Cleve land is no better than the average of his party; will do their bidding, and is doing it as rapidly as pos Bible. General Urant. v, w , t, , . 1 and 11 o'clock last night a hyperder mic injection, containing five drops of morphine, was administered to General Grant This quantity of opi ate usually neutralizes the constant pain in the throat, so that tbe pa tient is able to sleep. This was not the result last night The General, during the day, had talked too much with visitors. The air during his noon-day ride was chill. His throat bad swollen no little, and the pain was so increased that the usual opi ate did not produce the usual result The general found no sleep until 3 o'clock this morning. At that hour he slept and continued to do so, with breaks of wakefulness, until be tween 8 and 9 o'clock this morning At 9 o'clock he aroused and was dressed. Tbe increased swelling of the throat is to day noticeable, and in the words of Colonel Fred Grant: "Father is not so well this morning as he was yesterday morning." U. S. Grant, jr., came to the house at 11 o'clock. Tbe cancer in Grant's throat is said by the doctors to be making very rapid progrecs. Perished In the Flames. Owatonna, Minn., May 15. Last night Henry Lewiston's house caught fire. His family, consisting of himself, wife, seven children, and a hired man, were all" sleeping in the second story. Lewiston and his wife awakened by the glare, rushed down stairs, the wife carrying the youngest child in her arms, another child, aged 10, and the hired man following. When Lewuton opened the door, the flames burst in, nearly overpowering bim and burning off his hair and burning off his hair and beard. Tbe hired man succeeded in breaking a window, through which they escaped, but not before Mrs. Lewiston was severely burned. Lewiston made frantic efforts to reach his daughter and four sons, still asleep upstairs, but all five per ished in the flames. Urging Miss Sumner's Retention.

Middle OfTa Faroe Oaln Well-Eart v- a Victory. WnrsEPEa, May 13. The follow ing dispatch fom BatouchA, via Clark's Crossing of date of yester day, has just been received : Batouche bas fallen and the reb els have fled, being driven from their rifle pits and ambush at the point of the bayonet The charge was gallantly made by the grena diers. Riel sent a message to Gen. Middlelon early in the day, saying: "If you persist in firing upon the bouses containing our women and children, we will massacre the pris oners in our hands." The General, in reply, told bim to gather his women and children into one house and it would not be fired upon. Later, Riel sent an answer, thank ing the General for his humane nruniise to save tne women auu children, but afterward, as a gener al attack was just being made, he sent another messenger, saying that he did not like war, but unless tbe troops retired his original intention of massacreing tbe prisoners would h adhered to. But this was, of course, too late, the charge had al- ready commenced ana in a lew min utes the rebels were scattered and the prisoners rescued. f ather Moulin was louna ai nis home in Batouche, wounded, it is believed by the rebels, but not ser iously. A later dispatch says : eaioucne fell at 4 p. m., with a loss on the third day of five killed and ten in jured. The steamer Northcote and another steamer are coming up iue river with company C, school of in fantry and some police, and will cut off the retreat of the rebels. The rebel loss is believed to be very se vere, but as yet unknown. Ottawa May 13. In the House to-day an official dispatch from Midd'letou was read confirming the reports published to-day of the complete rout of Riel. Middleton places his loss at five killed and six teen wounded. Among the prison ers was Jackson, white, who was Riel's secretary, but who is now mad and rather dangerous. Mara Live Taken In a Kentucky Ven detta. Lousville, May 14. Another chapter has been added to the bloody record of the Bell county vendetta, and three more persons sent into eternity by Andrew John son, the notorious outlaw. On Sun day, as Josiah Hoskius, jailer of tbe Bell county prison, was returning from church, accompanied by sever al of his children and Thomas Nap ier, the whold party was fired upon bv Johnson, who was lying in wait behind a building in the town of Pineville. Hoskins, his daughter, 10 years old, and Napier were in stantly killed. The weapon used was a large revolver. The first shot killed Napier, the second killed both Hoskins and the child, who was standing behind her father in the wagon, with her hands upon his shoulder. The assassination is the result of a difficulty between Nap ier and Johnson on the day of tbe last Presidential election, when Napier was wounded in the eye by a shot irom Johnsons ever-ready pistol. The three persons killed by Johnson swell the list to five, all killed within the last five years. Oppuaed to Convict Labor. Austin, Tex., May 15. This fore noon Gov. Ireland received a tele gram from Major Govee,s uperintend ent of Texas penitentiary, giving in formation of the most daring and most successful outrage ever commit ted in Texas. Forty State convicts were employed on Clay's farm in Brazos county. Last evening, when work was stopped, a great mob of armed men surrounded the guards and prisoners, and demanded the re lease of the latter. The guards refused, whereupon a fight ensued, in which the convicts joined with the mob. The conflict resulted in a victory for tbe attack ing party, who disappeared with the convicts. There is no definite infor mation as to whether there were any killed or wounaea. ine outrage is - " to the hue and cry against the employment of convict labor outside of the penitentiaries. The Cover nor bas offered a reward of $200 for the conviction of any of the loaders in the outrage. The Revised Version of the Old Tes tament. London, May 15.

Brutal Burslars. Wheeling, W. Va., May 15. About 3 o'clock this morning burg lars broke into the bouse of Mrs. Louisa Daum andcruelly and out rageously abused her in the hopes of making her tell where her money was hidden in the house. She gave them all she had, about S4, but be lieving that she money they choked and beat ber until she was most dead, and then proceeded to go through her little house, cutting and breaking open trunks, boxes, beds and tearing out a fire-place in the hopes of finding a large amount of money supposed to be hid there. After they left Mrs. Daum mana ged to crawl to the house of her son-in-law about a square away. She is 75 years old and has been ill ill winter. She owns several houses and has always insisted on living by herelf. The treatment she re ceived was 60 severe-that she has been unable to eat anything and it is feared that the shock to her ner vous system will prove fatal. Two burglars operated on the inside. The general belief is that it was the work of city roughs, several of whom are being shadowed. Grant Suffering- from Neuralgia. New York, May 14. Dr. Doug lass saw General Grant this after noon. When the Doctor left the house he said : "The disease is still there, of course, but the increased pain of the last two days has been not so much the result of the in crease in the disease as it bas .been of neuralgic complications, induced by the frightful weather of this week. The General is better to-day. He looks brighter and has this afernoon been working easily upon his book." The General was a little easier this evening than he has been for the last two days, though it is un derstood and stated by both Colonel Fred Grant and Dr. Douglas that he is "really a very sick man." He could not get out to drive tbis after noon, but passed his time in mak ing some corrections in the proof sheets of his books. ReTenee or an Eelcted Farmer. 1x)NDo.n, May 14.

The colored hands at the Pocahon tas Mines in Lazerville County, Vs., just across the mountain from tbis place, are accused of creating a reign of terror in that isolated locality. Last Tuesday was the regular pay day, and, after receiving their. mon ey, the men, excited by whisky, in dulged in numerous blood rows. Po licemen Nevels, the only officer in the place, arrested two of men and confined them in jail. The miners set out for the jail to tbe number of 200, with the intention of tearing down the building and hanging Nevelson sight The mob forced its way into the building, and released the prison oners, and partly destroyed thd structure.

I therefore cordially invite one and all to call and con vince yourselves as to prices, compared with others. ; My stock will be found complete in every department, and ladies will do well to call, bring their little ones, and have them clothed where they will get polite attention and full value for theif money. .
