The Democratic financial policy ex j,l.leJ, and the Democratic U-aders are all Biyinjj "You're another" to eath oilier. It is ditlicult to keep tbe Democrat from passing the Eland bill until after election. If they wait that long, they will wait no longer. Governor McKisney, of Virginia, baa appointed General F.ppa Ilunton United States Senator to fill the vacancy occa aioned by the death of Hon. John S. Bar bour. As aduiirer of "the staffed prophet" says, "Nominate Grover Cleveland an J no platform will be necessary." Hill has neither a back euiUola for a platform, iior any Lair to hold on to. Sknatoks Hillaxu Ukke are both men who have the art of "seeing the boyt" brought nearly to perfection. But they may find a National convention harder tj'uianiimlatethan an Ohio or New York IjogisUture. Many a man has drowned by getting into too deep water. The River and Harbor bill of the present Ieuiocratic House appropriates J'jO.'JOO.OiiO, or twice as much as the alleireU " billion-dollar Coneress." Striv ing to secure a record as a "five-cent' Congress the Iteinocratic statsemen at Washington take the cake for spending the most money for the least results. A was agreed upon, the criminal pros ecution of William H. Dill, president of the broken Clearfield Bank, has been dis continued in the United States Courts at Pittsburg, the basis of settlement being the payment by Dill of the full amount of the claims of depositors and others. Up to the time the case was listed for trial in Pittsburg Dill resolutely hell out against any compromise looking to his disgorging bis ill-gotten gains, but w hen tie saw the prison doors yawning in bis face he weakened and came down with the cash. It Li understood the the depositors w ill be paid dollar for dollar, and some of them are thus lifted from poverty to comfort, and many a heavy heart lightened. Ix reply to an atide in.'the Mugwump Jioeton Hrmld groaning over the ignoble and unpatriotic cause of the Democratic majority in the National House of Repre sentatives the New York Vitu discourses in the follow ing rigorous manner : "The Herald" r sorrow that 77 Pro is a Republican newspaper is touching, but we must decline to grieve over the fact The iWif is Republican and proud of it. That it is in any sense a party organ is absolutely untrue. It has never hesitated to criticise Republican leaders or meas ures when it deemed the criticism merit ed. But Tht I'rtsi glories in its advocacy of the principles and pulicies of the par ty to w hich the nation owes, not only its progress, but its life ; not only its magni ficent industrial development, but its present commanding position among the nations of the earth. The party that broke the slave shackles, that welded the riven nation into unity, that made the credit of the United Slates the highest in the world, that opened the fertile West to the settler and founded a score of free commonwealths where the slaveholders had planned a hideous empire; tbe party w hose tariffpolicy Las made us the great est manufacturing nation on the face of the globe, whose foreign policy has won for the American flag the unfeigned re spect of every foreign government, w hose naval policy has given us a superb fleet of warships, is not a party that has to be apologized for. It can be stated without the slightest exaggeration that wherever prosperity, intelligence, morality and good govern ment have been promoted by means of legislation in the past thirty years it has been by Republican legislation. The Re publican party has never yet assumed a position that the progress of events did notjust'fy. Its great national measures have been passed in spite of the fiercest Democratic opinion ; and in nearly every cane the Democrats have afterward turned around and tried to claim the credit. These are facts whose import ance it is well for every American voter, young or old, to keep in mind. Would the II, raid regard the enact ment of the crazy Bland Free Silver bill for degrading the currency and unsettling all business values as "benefiting the country T Yet if it had not been for a Republican President and Senate the Bland bill would have been a law to dav. Does the 1ItuM as an American news paper regard the present unfortified con dition of our great seaports as a bene-fit?-' They are kept in that condition by I democratic "economy" of the sort that passes JVt.OO'i.'XXi River and Harbor bills. iKxstle Ilt-.-ald consider Hill's exploit in stealing New York State "beneficial" to the cause of honest government ? It was applauded by the Democratic press of the whole country. Is our Boston con t :mporary of the opinion that the Tweed Inspectors bill, designed for the express pirpt-seof enabling Tammany Hall to count in its candidates, is another "bene fit?" It was passed with practical unan imity by the Democratic representatives in the New York Legislature. In sou-e respects the II,ralIi present perturbation L-- an encouraging sign. It shows that journal still has a certain amount of self respect This being the casf, there are only two courses open to it The JI'.-mU moat either part company w ith its self respect or with the "conspi racy for public plunder" known as the Democracy." Guilty as "Indicted. TH? VERDICT A RIGHTEOUS ONE. William Boyer will be Given a Lone Term In the Penitentiary for Criminal Assault. William Boyer, of Summit township, was convicted by a jury Monday evening, on the firat count of the bill of indictment charging him with rape. Tbe Commonwealth was represented by District Attorney Col born, assisted by F. J. Kooser, Esj., while the prisoner was defend ed by General CoiTroth and Scott A Ogle. Judge Lougenecker finished charging 'he jury at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Tht jury remained out until 7 o'clock when they returned a verdid of " guilty in man ner and form as indicted." Boyer received the verdict without changing a feature, but his wife, who was waiting in the library room, holding her two month's old baby in her trail, broke down completely when the verdict was made known to her. The maximum penalty provided for such crimes as Boyer'i is fifteen years in the pen itentiary and it is believed that the Court will give him tbe full limit. Fortunately it is not often that the courts of this county have to deal with case of this character. It consumed the time of tbe Court, Friday. Saturday and Monday, and fortunate it is for the defendant that nil of fense was committed in Pennsylvania, for had it been committed ia any of a majority of the Stales of tbe Union, be would not bare been conceded the formality of a trial by jury but would have been strung op on the nearest tree. On tbe morning of the 23th of March last Katy Herwig, the 16-year-old daughter of Henry Herwig, a reputable and highly-esteemed citizen of Summit towDship, was sent to a store in Meyersdale with a basket filled with butter. Tbe young girt reached Mryerodale about 9 o'clock in the morning and after delivering the butter and visiting the posUiffic started to return home. She was walking, and when she crossed the Llk Lick bridge, adjoining the borough of Mey ersdale, she passed William Boyer, who was traveling on foot in the same direction and towards his home on the farm of Jacob Peck, one mile distant from Meyersdale. Bjyer, who was a brakesman on a coal train making nightly trips between Meyersdale and Cumbeiland, was dressed m his work ing clothes and carried a dinner pail in his hand. His face and bands were begrimed with coal dust and soot. He soon overtook Miss Herwig and passing her without speaking, continued ahead of her nn -til he reached Mr. Peck's sugar or chard, at which point there is a gate on the road, through which he had to pass to reach his home, a quarter of a mile distant. Miss Herwig observe! Boyer drinking sugar wa ter from a keeler in the orchard as sha went by. She continued on the way towards home, still three miles distant, and had barely entered a strip of woods one mile from the sugar orchard when she was con fronted by a man with a red handkerchief tied over his face, carrying a dinner pail in one hand and a club in the other, who made an improper proportion to her. The brute said that there were three more men in the woods and that if she made any outcry he would kill her, and gwpiug the now thor oughly terrified girl by the throat he drag ged her from the roa i into the woods. Miss Herwig, who ia tall for her years and very pretty, told the story of the assault when placed upon the stand, with all the innocence and modesty of childhood and her narration of the horrible facts made a profound impression upon all who beard her a:ery. She positively identified the de fendant by his size, hair and voice, and iden tified the clothing he wore when she passed him oa the bridge at Meyersdale and the clothing he wore when he accosted her in the woods. The witness was subjected to an exhaustive cross-examination but did not diveree in the alichteit particular from her original story. Tbe defendant was traced by a large num ber of witnesses from the time be quit work at 9 o'clock that morning at the Meyersdale station, passing along the road to Pe:k'i su gar nmp. Other witnesses testified to hav ing seen a man raoning through tbe fields from the direction of the woods where tbe assault took place towards Buy er's borne, about tbe hour named, 10 o'clock a. ra., while Mr. Peck testified that Boyer arrived at bis home about 20 minutes after 10 a m. but he was unable to tell from which direction became. All of tbe wit nesses identified the clothing worn by Boy er on that day. The theory of the prosecution was that Borer had removed his overalls and blouse and concealed them in Peck's sugar camp, and then took a short cut through the fields to the point in the woods where he met Miss Herwig. AS ALIBI SET Cr. The defense wa an alibi. The defendant testified that he had gone to his home by the route indicated by witnesses for the Com monwealth on the 21th of March, but on the 2-"th he had jumped onto the "Keystone shifter" (the train on which he was employ ed), at Black's brick yard in Meyersdale, and had left the train at Salisbury Junction and proceeded to his home. Unfortunately for the defendant none of the train men hid seen him on the train between Meyersdtie and Salisbury Junction that morning, and only one witness was produced who had sem him on his way boms from Salisbury Junction. Considerable contradictory evidence as to the hour Boyer was last seen in Meyersdale that morning, and as to the ex act time be made several purchases at one of the stores in that town was offered. Boyer'e w ife testified that she saw her hasband approaching their home on the miming of March 21th from the direction of Salisbiry Junction. Tbe distance from B yer"a home to Mev- ersdale is almost exactly the same as it is fr-im Salisbury Junction, Meyersdile being southeast and Salisbury Junction being northeast from his hone, and to go to his home fioai the latter point it is necessary to cross tbe CasMelnian river on a foot-bridge almost in front of his house. It was established by testimony in rebut tal that the defendant had told contradicto ry stories as to how be had gone to bis home that day and Boyer admitted that Katy Herwig had seen him d -inking mar water in Peck's orchard bat claimed that she was mistaken as to the day. Robbed of $ 1,400. Kii Yoder is the name of a farmer of 70 years who lives alone on a little farm about a mile above Sulphur Springs Cambria coun ty. Oa Sunday he left his home to visit a neighbor a short dh-tance away, where be remained all day. In the house was about in notes and $100 cash. When he returned home that evening he found .that the b- use had been ransacked and the notes and money were missing. There is no clue to the identity of the bur glars, as none of the neighbors saw any sus picious persons in the vicinity that day. For A Longer School Term.

Jacob Gilbert, In a Fit of Dementia, Commit Suicide. Three brothers William, J. J., and Jacob Gilbert have been for seme time employed in the Cambria's Carpenter Department at Johnstown. William and J. J. live at Box bury, and Jacob has been living at Osborne Station, in the Eight Ward. For a long time past Jacob was not sound mentally. His condition was not improved by an at tack of the grip which he had last winter. About a year ago he purchased a farm from a man named Sipe in Somerset county, pay ing $) in Land to bind tbe bargain. When set-dine time came he paid a man $07 to do his planting. In March last, during a fit of despondency, he rued having purchased the farm, and ask ed Sipe to take it back. Sipe refused unless Gilbert, who, it is said, was then mentally very much unbalanced, did, and thus got rid of the farm. Soon thereafter, when his spell of dementU had teJ away, he re gretted having parted with the farm and mourned tbe loss of his money. He at once relapeed into a brooding, stolid condition, which told perceptibly upon him in every way. He was at length compelled to quit work, and bis time thereafter was spent about the house. He had Utile to say to anybody, and went about gloomily and in differently. On one occasion he remarked that if be could go off into a dark corner some place where nobody could see him or speak to him, he would get better in about three weeks. He was also accustomed to taking walks by himself in lonely places. His wife mti not, therefore, apprehensive Wednesda evening when, about o'clock, be said be wus going fora short stroll np the rail road and would return in fifteen minutes. She, however, warned hiiu to return soon, as supper would be ready. One hour passed, and another, and another, and he did not return. Then bis wife became alarmed and wt word to his brothers at Ilocksbury. Tbey, knowing tbe peculiarities of his men tal condition and the places where be was accustomed to take bis walks along the rail-. road and in Osborn s woods on the hill across the river from the Johnson Works started in search of him. Tbey had lanterns with them, but the night was dark, there was a great deal of rainfall, and their pro gress was slow. Tbey traveled hither and thither through the woods and looked into coal mines and other places where he might have hiddeo, but no trace of him was found. At 3 o'clock in the morning, tired, rain- soaked, and heavy-hearted with disappoint ment, they gave up the search for the night and went home. At o o clock tbey resumed the search, accompanied by Chauncey Davis and Frank Smith. They returned to the Osborne woods and resumed their tramp over the same ground they had covered during the nitht. They had not proceeded far when, within a few yards of the B. A O. Railroad, Mr. Davis' eyes fell upon the ob ject of their search in s sitting posture under a small tree in the midst of a thick cluster of undergrowth. His companions were not a second behind him in making the discovery. Tbey all approached the cramped-looking figure. It was leaning somewhat to one side. The hands rested on the ground. A rope and two pieces of twine were looped about the neck and, with a piece of raw hide were fastened in the forks of the sapling under which he sat. There was apparently no life in the body, but nobody in tbe party touched it. There was no evidence of a death struggle. The man, to all appearances, had attached the rope to the tree and to his neck and sat down, thus tightening the rope and causing strangulation. Without in any manner disturbing the body, the party left the scene and called at the residence of 'Squire Weinier and inform ed him of what had happened. He sum moned John Noon, David Barnhart, Robert Barclay, William Lantzy, John Livingston, and William Grubbas a jury of inquest, and with them and the dead man's two brothers started for the place where the body was found. They discovered upon their arrival that the body bad been cut down. This sensible act was done by Mr. D. 8. Shallen berger, well known as a Cambria weighman and a member of tbe Presbyterian Choir, who lives but a short distance from where Gilbert came to his end. After viewing the body the jurors picked it up and carried it to the family residence, not over a quarter of a mile distant. There a weeping widow and many relatives and friends received it in mourning for tbe dis tressing fate that had bcfalen their kins man. 'Squira Weinier left it with tbe relatives to decide whether he should proceed with the inquest or not. Tbe widow expressed her opposition to tbe proceeding and the others also thought that no investigation was necessary, hence no testimony was taken and a verdict of death by hanging was rendered. Shortly after the body was taken to tbe house and washed and laid out. Deceased was born in Somerset County near Forwardstown. about twenty-nine years ago. He went to Johnstown in 1891 and learned tbe carpenter trade in the Cambria shop. Hia father and a younger brother still live at Forwardstown. His mother died last winter. About seven years ago he and Miss Mary Croyle were united in marriage. His wife's parents live in part of the same building w ith her. Sbe and Gilbert never bad any children. Their marital relations, the relatives say, were always pleasant, as Gilbert was a saving, temperate, home-loving man. He was a member of tbe Methodist Church, but belonged to no orders or societies except tbe Cambria Belief. The remains were interred on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in Grand View Ceme tery, Johnstown. Jolmsloun Trilittne, Spring Fever.

Cof-frvth'a, COURT PROCEEDINGS. A Jury Selected to Try W. C. Miller- Cases Tried-Report or Grand J ury. The work of em paneling a jury in the cas m of the Commonwealth vs. William C and Robert Miller was begun Saturday morn ing. J. D. Critcbfield, the constable of Bock- wood borough, was the first juror called. He had read about the case; had not made up his mind or expressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner, and was not hampered with any conscientious scruples against capital punishment. Tbe Commonwealth were satisfied with his an swers to their questions, and passed him over to tbe defense with the announcement that they were satisfied with the juror. Judge Baer propounded several questions to tbe juror, which were answered to his satis faction, and he was accepted, sworn. and took his seat In the jury box. Paul Werner, a Greenville township farm er, was the second juror called. He had beard of the case, but had not formed or ex pressed an opinion and the prosecution thought he would make a good juror, but counsel for the defendant thought otherwise and challenged him. Henry Ringter, a laborer residing in Elk- lick township, was next called. He had read about tbe case in tbe Pittsburgh papers and had heard it talked of considerably since coming to town ; he was not conscientiously opposed to capital punishment and was passed by tbe Commonwealth, but was chal lenged by tbe defense. Joseph Baldwin, occupation miller, and residence Brothersvalley township, answer ed all questions pat to him in a satisfactory manner, and was accepted and sworn as the second juror. Herman A. Walker, a farmer of Cone maugb township, was satisfactory to the Commonwealth, but in answer to a question put to him by Judge Baer be replied that he did not know that he was not related to the prosecutor. The Hekald representative at once wrote " Iennis " opposite his name, and a moment or two later the clerk of tbe courts wrote " challenged by defense." Henry P. J. Custer, a resident of Paint township, and a farmer by occupation, met with the same fate that befel his neighbor from Conemaugh, and four challenges were placed to the account of the defense. A. J. Miller, a farmer of Stonycreek town ship, declared that he had conscientious scruples sgainst capital punishment and that he could not agree to a verdict which would result in the taking of tbe life of a fellow man. Out of regard for his scruples the court excused him. Aaron Cover, a farmer of Summit town ship, was in the same boat with Mr. Miller ; his conscience would not allow him to agree to a verdict of murder in the first degree, and be was likewise excused by the court. John A. Glessner, a farmer of Stonycreek township, bad read too much about thscase to altogether suit the prosecution, and he was stood aside. John Keifer, laborer, Somerset borough, had heard the case talked about a good bit, but thought be would not be biased by what he had heard and that he could go into the jury box and render a fair and impartial ver dict in accordance with the evidence The Commonwealth evidently had some misgiv ings about this, and tbey stood him aside. Hiram Tedrow, a Middlecreek township farmer, said that he lived in the township in which the homicide occurred, and within a few miles of the place of the tragedy ; he also stated that his wife was related to tbe murdered man, whereupon tbe court excus ed him. W. W. Brown, farmer,. Somerset town ship, read a good bit about tbe case but bad not formed an opinion. Stood aside. Willis M.

To tht Honorable the Judges of the Court of Quarter Stations of Somertet county : We the members of the Grand Jury re spectfully report that in pursuance of the instructions of your Honorable court. We visited on the 27th day of May 1S92, and ex amined the jail and court house. The dry closet connected with the jail does not give satisfaction. We declare it a common nui sance. We recommend that the commis sioners be asked to compel the Pauley Jail Co., to make the heater and dry closet satis factory. The jail is neat and cleanly kept. We recommend that tbe broken place in the court room ceiling be repaired, also, tbe roof obove it, also, the flooring of the belfry be retinned, also, that the court house be paie'ed on tbe outside. After a careful examination of tbe sur roundings of tbe jail and cocrt house we found fences and gates in a di!uijj!td con dition, also, the yard or lawn is in suc'u a condition that reflects no credit on the par ties having it in charge. We recommend that gates and fences be retired aud that the yards or lawns surrounding court house and jail be put in good condition. B. F. S.ntdcb, foreman. The President Talks. New York, May 27. Tbe World to-day prints the following interview, obtained by a staff correspondent from President Harri son, at Washington yesterday afernoon. The President said : "I have made ap pointments as nearly as I could in accord ance with my views of what was fitting. Of coarse, there have been disappointments. The task of filling public offices is so ar duous that it can really be understood in entirety by only tbe one on whom tbe re sponsibility rests. Disappointment some times causes discontent, and discontent may manifest itself openly." It was at this point that President Har rison uttered an epirgammatic sentence one that is likely to be repeated from Maine to California "I don't believe that in" divual disappointments will control the con vention at Minneapolis." 'Were I disposed," continued tbe Pres ident, " to explain hew many of these dis appointments and the subsequent discon tent have occurred, the narrative would be interesting yes, very in teresting." "Gen. Harrison, in view of the recent publications, do you now announce your candidacv for re-election ?" The President replied with emphasis: "I have never announced myself as a can didate, and I do not now. I did not in 1SSS, on the occasion of the Chicago con vention. As if to accentuate what he had said, President Harrison repeaiad: "I make no such announcement." Then he added : Tbe convention at Minneapolis will as semble and take its own action. I am aware that I have been criticised for not calling on my friends and others for their support, but I have been disinclined to do so, and my feelings have undergone no Changs. My public and private recoreds are known the people, and whatever they wish will be manifested at Minneapolis. If the people, hsving in consideration tbe manner in which I have conducted the Presidency d sire me, I presume tbey will signify their wishes." KA NBAS DEADLY CYCLONE. Wellixgtox, Karr., May 29.
