The Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCULL, Editor and Proprietor. WEUSKSOAV. ..Manh 24, lssiT. Mr. Corbett's request for another delate with Mr. Fitassimmons sounds as if it might be arbitrated. A business administration is at the lielm, and it will run the business of tlie country on business principles. Speaker Keei has leen elected pre siding officer of the bouse for the third time. Seven other men have filled third terms in this osition. The wort the free-traders can say against the new tariff bill i mild, to the ruiu wrought by the Wilson bill. The sooner it becomes a law, the Utter. The stone sarcophagus in which the remains of General Grant will finally rest has reached New York, and the oereniony of transferring the tomb from the monument committee to the city will take phiee April 27. The Democratic minority in Con gress is not harmonious. No one ex jiected it to be. The very fact of elect ing Ihiiley, of Texas, as their leader as sured trouble and plenty of it. What in the world will become of the party if it keejis on poing to pieces? A Democrat and a Populist in Ohio are applicants for positions on a lioard which must be composed of men of dilll-rcnt parties, and the Attorney Jeiieral is in doubt as to whether they are the same or different. If both are fr debased money they are Pojw, though one is ashamed to own it. Official statistics of strikes show that they are profitable to neither side. According to the report of the United States commissioner of lalor, the t-trikes in thiscountry from lvsl toIS!K caused a loss of wages amounting to $11, si -I ,!, while the losses to employ ers aggregated fcM.THMMA, Jsfi'H I. UiiisTiiW, of Kansas has lxvn named by President MeKiuley as headsman of his administration, oth erwise the fourth assistant postmaster general. Mr. BrLstow was appointed Monday and will probably be confirm ed by the Senate to-day, after which the heads will commence to drop. Senator Tillman said in Chicago the other evening that the way to deal with the Republican party is to allow it to settle the tariff jiiestion as it pleas es. That is a sensible sentiment from the pitchfork statesman. Now will he please practice what he preaches when the new tariff bill reaches the senate. John L. Scllivan thinks that la dies ought not to see prize-lights. Mr. Sullivan is not exactly an authority on ti Uetteof a social kind, but even s-v cial exeru will agree with him, though the implied, though uncon scious, comment on his own profession is about the best criticism it could well receive. The story of the very animated jo-liti-al meeting in Denver the o: her day, vhere men fought and women pulled hair, is being used to show the evil ef fects of admitting women to a share of Mlitical power. ISut this exclusive de nunciation of the mischief-niakiiig tiossihilities of the sex in politics is un fair to Populism. The Philadelphia brauch of the "National Ii-puhlicati League of Bus iness Men'' has endorsed John Wana Itiaker as their candidate for State Treasurer. In view of his recent mor tifying defeat f-tr United States Sena tor, we do not think it likely that Mr. Wanamaker will consent to be a can date for State Treasurer. NoitoDY should object to the policy auuounced by the new administration in regard to postmasters. It is stated that each will have a four years term, except where there is good reason for removal. This has been the policy in n'gard to presidential offices for some time, and now it is to be applied to fourth class offices as welL It will no doubt become a permanent policy and lie resjiected by both iarties. The country is glad to receive Secre tary Sherman's announcement that there is henceforth to lie no secrecy as to Cuban news. All facts that come to the State department from the island are to be given to the senate and the country. This is right. Among the private citizens of the United States are oftentimes persons who have had opportunities for knowledge with re gard to foreign countries, Cuba in cluded. It now looks very much as if the battle for the admission of women as delegates to the (Jeneral Conference of the M. K. Church had lieen lost for the time being. Annual conferences are apjiarently lecomsiig lired of the agi tation, and are showing a disMsition to vote against admission simply with the hope of getting the subject out of the way. Hut, like Bin-jo's ghost, it will not down, aud the men who are opposing admission of wvirn now are free to confess that it will not lie many years before the door of the General Conference will be thrown wide Ojieu aud women will lie welcomed in. Rhode Island has a state election on the first Wednesday in ApriL The Republicans are ready for the contest, and their victory is well-nigh sure. They have put a ticket in the field which represents the let elements of the iarty, and which will receive a hearty support. Rhode Island is now under Republican government, and no on i has any fault to find with the man agement of the state's affurs. The platform w hich the Republicans adopt e i at their state convention on Tues day was strong and sound, a hearty endorsement of the new national ad ministration, and a pledge of contiu u id loyalty to the principles of the par ty. Thomas 1J. Reef promises to be the m st famous of all presiding officers who have ruled in the House of Rep resentatives. To-day he is the broad est, brightest, ablest man in public life in the United States, and his talents seem peculiarly adapted to the place he holds. Three times elected to that dis tinguished jiosition, bis popularity has increased with each succeeding term, as his unanimous selection by the late Republican caucus attests. Mr. Reed's popularity does not result from any ef fort to please people, or from a desire to conciliate. It proceeds from his clear and accurate judgment, extensive and varied knowledge and great personal force. He is an independent, able, up right man who makes bis way without any f the arts of the demagogue. Pexdimj a motion for the transfer of a retail lienor dealer's license at last week's term of court. Judge lxngeu- eckertook occasion to notify the niem- lers of the bar, and tlirongti lliem their clients, that when petitions for licenses next come to be heard he will expert each applicant to be present in court and to make answer under oaiu as to whether he has violated any of the provisions of the liquor license laws during the year last past, and as to whether he has complied w ith the ropiest of the Court relative to closing his l.ar at not later than ten o'clock p. m. The Judge stated that there had been considerable complaint in regard to certain dealers neglecting to pay at tention to the Court's request in regard to closing at ten o'clock, and that hereafter the neglect or refusal to do so on the part of any licensed dealer would le taken into consideration when the parties so doing next asked that a license be granted them. Civil Service San KL From the Lancaster Inquirer. The esteemed Public Ledger in refer ring to the intention of the MeKiuley ad ministration to give each postmaster a f u r years' term, takes occasion to remark that the true policy would lie to continue tuetu in oflice indefinitely so long as their duties were properly performed. Taking the soundness of this doctrine for granted we can see no good reason why it should iut apply to all the offices under our gov ernment. If it should apply to postmast ers why not to all state, county and town ship oflieers? This is really what the ul tra doctrines of the civil service radicals runs to. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander or should be. Their doctrine is: "If we have a good postmaster keep him in during good be haviour." "All right; but if we have a good Governor of the State, or a gxxl Presi dent of the United States, shall we not do likewise with him? If not, why not? The thoughtful man will tell you ; be cause it would establish an ollice holding class which is contrary to the genius of our institutions, and at war with the fun damental principles of our Republican govtrnmeuL The wise men who founded ourgovern tnent deemed it advisable that officers to carry it out should be chosen for short terms, and that their fitness and qualifi cations should frequently lie passed upon !y th supreme trilmiial of public opin ion. There was wisdom and rare fore sight in this policy and when the nation departs from it to any great extent it will have liegim the destruction of the foun dation on which our theory of govern ment rests. The New Ambassador!. It is a tribute to literature to say Unit the two prizo appointments in the diplo matic service are best known by their contributions to the magazines and the press. The amlassador to Great Britain occupies the first pla-e in importance, for the most of our leading international questions are with that country, aud Col. John Hay, although admitted as a law yer, and although for many years secre tary to President Lincoln, is a literary man above all else, and a journalist mainly. He liclongs to the era which produced Whitelaw Ueid and others of his class, and he is a man of great ability, who will fill the position with safety to the country's interest and with satisfac tion to the nation's pride. It is very cer tain that he will not commit the blunders of l'ayard through too much talk, for he is a man who thinks twice lie fore he sjieaks. Mr. Henry White, who will be secretary of the legation, has had years of experience in the office and is a nat ural diplomatist. General Horace Porter, who will go to France, is one of thse bright, exhaust less men, of whom it is impossible to say too much. He is just al"iut sixty years old, with all the honors of the brilliant soldier, the able lawyer and the distinguished writer thick iiwui liim. A man who was promoted five times in four years for "gallant, faithful and meri torious servb-e on the field," and who was picked out by Grant as the man on whom to depend in the thick of the fight, has merit in him to the full, and iu what ever rapacity he has served since the war he has done his duty spleudidly. There is not a lietter after-dinner speaker in the country, ami it shows the Presi dent's appreciation of fitness when it is said that General Porter can match the French iu all the graces of speech, wit and courtesy which are so valuable in diplomatic and social life. Roth appointments are admirable, and it is hoped that those that are to-follow will measure up to the high standard which they set. Gary Will Follow Suit. Washington, March 2'. Postmaster General Gary will smtiiitie the old policy as to distributing patronage of the post oflices, and he announced to-day that he would nt deviate from the practice fol lowed by past administrations. This, as a general rule, gives to every Senator the privilege of recommending a jiostmaster for his home postoflice and allots to ea"h Republican Senatorthe largest postolliee in his district, which, however, in the ease of a Senator not of the Republican faith, will go to the Republican committee or other reference. With these excep tions, the Republican Representatives are usually permitted to name the postmast ers for their respective districts. In Iemocratic distri-ts the selection is left to a referee, or perhaps to a Republican Senator. The Coneressional delegations will have to keep themselves posted as to the dates of expiration of terms of post masters, as the old custom ofilie depart ment of sending notii-e to Senators and Representatives of expirations of jwist maslcrs' commi-i-ions, which was stop ped by Pwtmu.ter General Hit-sell, will not lie re-iiniicl. Disposing ef the Offices. Wasiiinotox, March 2i The Presi dent to-day sent to the Semite the follow ing nominations: Ringer Hermann, of Oregon, to lie commissioner of the gen eral land office; Joseph L. Bristow, of Kansas, to be fourth assistant postmaster general; Ernest G. Timme, of Wisconsin, to l fifth auditor for the State and other departments; James I. KHiot, of South Dakota, to lie attorney of the United States for the district of South Iakota. Commodore Joseph X. Miller, to be rear admiral. The Senate confirmed the nominations of Gen. Towel 1 Clayton, of Arkansas, to le minister to Mexico; William M. Os borne, of Massachusetts, to tie consul general at London; John K. Gowdy, of Indiana, to lie consul general at Paris, and Joseph H. Rrigham, of Ohio, to be assistant secretary of agriculture. To Swim the English Channel. Petor S. McXally, the Boston champion long distance swimmer and life saver, will nail for England in May, and after several weeks of hard training be will at tempt to swim across the English Chan nel from I lover to Calais, a distance of 21 nautical miles, or 20 statute miles. This swim has been accomplished by only two persons, the late Captain Webb, who lost his life in a fool-hardy attempt to swim the Niagara rapids, and Captain Paul Boynton, who crossed in an in Hated rub berauiL Hundreds of expert swimmers have unsuccessfully tried to make pas sage across the Channel waters, but this fact does not seem to be at all discourag ing to McXally. He is confident toat be can accomplish the trip, aud those of hi friends who are acquainted with his abilities as a swimmer are equally confi dent that he will be successful. McXal ly was born in Boston a years ago. Buy your groceries w here you can go ' the lest goods for the least money, ' Mahlon Schrock's is the plaoe. J CORBETT KNOCKED OUT. FiUiimmoni Declared the Champion Pu gilist of the World AT CAESOK, JTEVADa, IAIT.WXDHES- SAT. Robert Fitzsimmons, of Australia, won the heavyweight championship of the world, a purse of f 15.WH) and side lt of 1 10,nuo by defeating James J. Corbett, of California. The knockout blow was landed in tho fourteenth round of one of the fiercest and bloodiest pugilistic en counters ever witnessed and was conce ded by all to lie a fair and square fight in all that the term implies for the sporting fraternity. . When Fitzsimmons and Corbett enter ed the ring and time was called at 12.07 or 3:07 p. in., eastern time, almost 5,000 people were seated in the great arena. Governor Sadler, of Nevada, and Mrs. Fitzsimmons were among the spectators. as was ex-l nampion jonu u. nuiunu. When Sullivan appeared he was cheered to the echo and Billy Jordan, in behalf of Frank G. Dunn, of Boston, challenged the winner to fight Sullivan for $,(i0. Fitzsimmons refused to shake hands with Corbett when time was called. Fitzsimmons received Corbett's blows without apparent effect until the fifth round, when Corliett drew first blood by landing on Fitz'8 nose. In the sixtu round Fitz was literally covered with blood but he fought like a demon. The ninth round saw Corbett weakening so that Fitz was able to land oftener. In the tenth Fitz was cooler and stronger and forced Corbett back. Corbett was weaker in the eleventh round but had the best of the twelfth. Lound 14 ended n Fitz bringing Corbett to his knees with a blow on the stomach. The fourteenth round lasted just one minute and 45 sec onds. Fitz landed a terrific blow over Corbett's heart and he was counted out. He arose and mado a rush at Fitz just af ter the tenth second was counted, but amidst the great uproar Referee Siler awarded the fight to Fitzsimmons. The greatest excitement prevailed for a time as sports from all parts of the coun try crowded around the fighters and ex pressed joy or sorrow. Corbett shed tears over his defeat but made no kick against the decision and offered to fight Fitzsim mons on- more. The new champion said be did not care to fight. Fltasiiumous anuounotw his determina tion to quit the riug forever. He says: "Because of my wife and my baby.whom I love better than all tho world. I bare promised never to tight Mgal"- My only object in signing for this last encounter was to vindicate my honor aud prove that no man ever lived who could whip me in a prize fight, be he great or small. In all my career as a fighter I have tried to lie an honorable man. I trust I will be pardoned for dwelling a little on the general impression circulated by my en emies that I had been fixed to lie down. If the truth were known, and I see no reason why it would not be, I wasoflered fion.ono by a San Francisco combination to throw this fight and fiVl.OnO by a New Yorker. I gave my answer to those overtures when the gong sounded aud Referee Siler, who has been an honon ble and square referee and whom I wish to congratulate, called time, I made up my mind that if they carried me out loser that it would lie hi dead man. The public can decide for themselves. I submit the facts. I met the enemy and he is mine. I am now prepared to euter into some occupation more readily ac cepted by the public and will try to or nameut society as I have the profession which has lieen mine for fifteen years, but which I discarded forever lor my wife." . . Invented Perpetual Motion. Bkahforh, Pa., March 21. James M. Aldrige is in the lockup here charged with defrauding several parties by induc ing them to liecome his partners in a wonderful motor which he has invented. He was arrested at Cleveland last Friday night, and brought here to-day. Ald- ridge has invented a perpetual motion machine. It runs by its own force, and the power may lie multiplied as the size of the machine is increased. No elec tricity, steam, compressed air or any other power is required save the sim ple one of weight so arranged as to over come gravity aud impel the machine to run. Two wheels are placed on a shaft. At tached to the wheels are weights. On the upward turn these weights are drawn by gearing toward the shaft. On the downward turn the weights move out so as to descrilie a circle. While weights are pulling the wheel on one side those on the other side are drawn inward so as to lose their balancing power. Thus the motion is secured. It will run nntil the machine wears out It is a complete solution of perpetual motion, the inventor claims. But, instead of having it pat ented, Aldridge used the device for se curing money from investors. He is said to have gone from place to place selling shares in the machine, and then, after obtaining the cash, would drop out of sight. He was here recently and placed stock in his contrivance, and with the money went to Cleveland, where be was arrest' d. The man has heeu a resident of this section for a long time, and it Is known that he has been at work on the device for eight years.

Colonel Eastham railed out : "There are traitors in the train!" lie then approach ed Thompson and slapped him with his open baud, after a few words had been exchanged.

Preacher Predicts World's End. Lapoutk, Ind., March 19. Rev. John Riley, of Shirley, a minister of the de nomination of Friends, has created con sternation by predicting the dissolution of the world iu the year l!tS or P0. Mr. Riley has devoted years of study to a so lution of astronomical calculations, and his research confirms his implicit faith in his prophecy. He bases bis belief in the world wide disaster for the reason that the planets will again lie in line in 1S or I!U, thus verifying the period in Biblical history when the flood destroyed the earth.

HocsTOX, Tex., March 18. Tho most daring attempt at crime ever known here was frustrated this morning at 3 o'clock, when detectives killed Walter Hughes as he was in the act of entering the house of Frank Dunn, a wealthy resident of this city. The iolice received informa tion some time ago that . a scheme was on foot to kidnap Dunn's little daughter. The purpose of the kidnapers was to keep the girl in captivity and demand f lO.orn) ransom for restoring her to her parents. Detectives have been on guard at Mr. Dunn's house for several nights, but no developments occurred until this morn ing, when it was discovered a man was attempting to force one of the windows of the Dunn residence. One of the otfi cers inadvertently attracted the atten tion of the marauder, who, finding he was discovered, drew a revolver, and fired twice at the detective. The detec tive then opened fire and the intruder fell dead. Hughes was a railroad man but lately had been working as a carpenter. He had rented a house near Dunn's and under the floor ot one of the rooms had dug a cave in which the kidnapped child was to lie secreted until the ransom was paid. At a point some distance from the city Hughes had arranged a number of tin boxes, where he intended to direct that the ransom money lie deposited. Hughes also intended to give notice that if any watch was kept over these deposi tori ties it would result in the death of the child. When Hughes body was searched a revolver, a keen edged butcher knife and a bottle of chloroform was found. Au immense crowd has gathered in and around the morgue where the body lies, Mrs. Hughes has been arrested, but will not talk.

Clark Camplsll, a Representative in the legislature from Westmoreland coun ty, has introduced a bill to protect candi dates ftr public office from the "political boodter." The act has been framed by Congressman Edward E. Bobbins. In some respects the act is similar to the one now in force in New York State. By the grafting Of the feature to the existing election laws it is hoped to lietter the sou- ditlon of politics iu tlie State. The bill provides that every candidate to be voted for at the primary, special or regular election shall withiu 10 days after such election file an itoiulzed statement. showing in detail all the moneys con tributed or expended directly or indirect ly by himself or through any other per son in aid of his election. Such state' ment shall give the names of the various persons who receive such money, specify the nature of each item and the purpose for which it was expended or contributed. and shall be sworn to. Candidates for State offices shall file this statement with the ollice of the Sec rctary of State, and other candidates with the prothonotary of the county, except for such elections as occur the third Tuesday of February, when the state ments shall tie filed with the clerk of courts. Any candidate failing to file such statement within the prescriljcd time shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not exceeding $.jOO, or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, or either, at the discretion of the court. The act shall not entail any expense on cities or counties. Beaming With Smiles Are the countenances of people who have found speedy and thorough relief from malarial, kidney, bilious, dyspeptic or nervous troubles through the aid of Hos teller's Stomach Bitters. Such counteu ances are very numerous. So are letters from their owners attesting the efficacy of the great family medicine. Among the signals of distress thrown out by the stomach, liowels and liver in a state ol disorder, are sick headache, heartburn. nausea, loss of apiietile, sullowucss of tin1 skin and eyeballs anil an uncertain state of the liowels. They should lie heeded at once. If the Bitters are resorted to, the woe-begone look which accompanies sickness will give way to cheerful looks produced by renewed health. If you are drifting on the coast of d isease, throw n anchor to windward by summoning the Bitters to your assistance. It will keep you iu safety. The Connty Paid for Toddy. Among the old papers unearthed in i e- moving the county documents from the Greensburg court house are the o i:rt records at Hannastowu under K'ng George III. Iu those days three eu-cs per mouth of both civil and criminal v as the average of the court business. Another interesting poiut discovered by the searchers after the relics among the old papers is that Westmoreland county, then embracing all the counties round about, in those early days paid ex pense accounts of officials that seem now very odd, and would scarcely lie enter tained were similar ones to le presentrd iu this age. The following are sample bills filed and paid: "September i ISi. To expense bring ing John Xeal from I niontown to Greensburg: To 2 breakfasts 3s. !U; 1J pint of wine.

Realizing that three-fourths of all our sufferings arise from stomach troub les, that the country is literally filled with people who can not eat aud direst food, without suliseqnently suffering pain and distress and that many are starving, wasting to mere skeletons be cause their food does them no good, they have devoted much study and thought to the subject, and the result is this discov ery of their Digestive Cordial.
