After glancing over last week's issue of
the journal that is so "eagerly sought after

unusually loud report from the "General's

Dr. Higltee, the new State Superintendent
of public instruction, is calling in the per

Many of the teachers employed in this
county hold such certificates from the
S'ate, which licenses the bolder to teaeli in
any part of the State. Without one a Som
erset county teacher cannot teach outside of
the county. The examination of appli
cants for State certificates is very rigid, aud
teachers holding such certificates wiil like
ly be compelled to devot; months to re
fresh:!!'? their memory in certain branches.
Saturday morning a number of our fann
er friends c. ) led at onr office with Copies of
that paper thai is so "eagerly sought after
and extensively read," addressed in the fa
miliar bands of several of our neighbors.
They said they haJ never suitscribed for the
paper nor did they want it. We explained
that as the "IlEBALn'ssubscription list is tre
ble and probably four times as large as the
Gfinnwrcitirt" the littlet rick of "duplicating"
was again being played. We to-day addad
nine new names to our already large list of
subscribers. We simply make this statement
that when the "boys" are again told to "du
plicate" they may order a sufficient number
of copies.
At the meeting of the new board of C.mn
cilmcn, Friday night, the offices of police
man, lamp lighter and weigh master were
consolidated under one bead and John S.
Shafer, a graduate of the Hebald office, was
selected as a fit person to discharge the on
erous dut it of Ibis jiosition. That be will
do it in a manner highly satisfactory to all
good ciitzcnn we have no doubt. At the
same meeting it was decided to raise the dog
tax fifty per cent, and several beneficial or
dinances, which apiear in our advertising
columns, were passed. The new council
evidently mean business and we hype there
will Vie no let up in the good work during
their term.
A 1'ittsburg man named James Black,
who don't like getting up early in the
morning to build the fire has contrived a
machine which does the work while be
sleeps. He has contrived an alarm clock
with weights which .he connects w ith a
picceof wire, a sheet of sand pacr aud
some matches, ier, wood and coal are put
into the grate of bis cooking stove, and a
teakettle with water, and having a tiny
whistle fitted into the nozzle of the kettle, is
placed on the stove. By setting the Hlarm
in the deck he can have a fire at any time
he wishes. When the alarm in the clock
goes ofl, a weight falls and hits the w ire ;
the wire moves and scrapes the matches
fastened to it on the sand pajier ; the match
es light the paper in the stove, the pajer
fires the wood and coal and soon the fire is
under way. In a little while the water in
the teakettle boils, and then the tiny whis
tle gives the note of warning that every
thing is ready and it is time to get up.
A meeting of the directors and stockhold
ers of the Somerset & Cambria Railroad was
held at the office, corner of Grant and Water
streets, llttsburgh, Thursday, for the pur
pose of increasing the capital stork of the
company and to authorize the issue of
bomls. An election was also held at the
same time to till the office of I'resident,
made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Charles
iKinnelly, and 'J' B. Washington, F;.,
Assistant Auditor of the B. A . R. R., was
chosen 1'residcnt.
It was decided to increase the capital
stock of the company from $100,000, the
present figure, to $.V ',000, and 8,00I shares
at $59 each will be issued at once. There
will also be issued $400,000 in trnfllc bonds,
which will be given to the Cambria and
Somerset Company, in payment for mate
rial used in the construction of the road.
The road, it will be undcrstsood, is now
owned and operated by the Baltimore tt
Ohio Company. These traffic bonds will
bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent.,
and will have twenty years to run. The
road is now doing a good freight business,
and it is to be hoped that passenger trains
will be put on at an ca.-ly day.
As will be seen by an article published
elsewhere in to-day's IIekald a couple of
illicit distillers, of Middlccreek township, in
this county, have come to grief. It has
been known to the Revenue officials in this,
and the 22nd district for some time past
that Jonathan Hoebstetler and Wra.C. Mil
ler were engaged in illegal traffic in, and pre
sumably, in the manufacture of Moonshine
whiske'. Their arrest and conviction for
illegal sales of whiskey could have Wen ac
complished long since, but the object of the
otilccrs was to get pioscsxion of the distill
ery api-aratus.
So frcjuent, however, were the removals,
and so thoroughly was the surrounding
community terrorized, or in sympathy with
them, that it was found almost impossible
to obtain information, or to locate their dis
tilleries with sufficient certainty to justify
an attempt at their seizure.
A year since information wxs procured of
their b nation, anl application was made to
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
funds toann aud pay the expenses of i;w,
but just then the iniortnnt work of break
ing up the illicit manufacture of liquor in
the Southern States was bciGg vigorously
prosecuted, and all available funds were
thon lieing used for that object.
During the late fall, and this winter, an
amateur detective, working under the aus
pices of the Deputy Collector in Westmore
land county, traversed the mountains, os
tensibly for the pnrpose of buying hogs, and
finally obtained the location of lwth the
citured distilleries. On the 30Uiof March
he called on the Collector here, imparted his
information, and as he could not fix tlie lo
calities from this side of the monntain, hav
ing come in on them from the west side, ar
rangements were made for-Deputy Collector
Stulzman to meet Lira on the succeeding
night. The snow storms of the few next
succeeding days prevented the carrying out
of this plan, nd meanwhile Information
was given Collector Davis, at Pittsburgh,
who, It ot being certain in which county
th! distilleries were, after telegraphic cor
respondence with Mr. SculL sent his own
deputies ont with results as elsewhere nar
rated. If all reports bo true, Hochstetlcr and
Miller are not the only petsons on whom
punishment shouid be visited, as numerous
other parties in that conifiunity were en
gaged m the traffic, if riot Su the ruanuCict
ureof illicit whiskey.
InonrtssueofMaretiaotliweiH.Hnte.lout!
the fact that the Appraiser of Mercantile j
taxes was violating the spirit of the law by j
advertising his list and notice of appeals in j who are prond of the history of thair party
the Oim.-HrrctVu', a journal whose circulation and anxious to preserve its integrity to sny
is not one-third that or the Herald. We ' a word to your readers concerning the "In
further said that complaint was jnade of dependent" party now blatantly bawling
this method of advertising, which did not
reach the parties interested, and W9 added
that the County Commissioners, for reasons
best known tifthcniselvcs, had similarly os-
......
iraoscu uie oiiwi".
As was to be expected, the Appraiser who
hud not sense enough to perform a plain
duty, in the first instance, had only a ribald
reply to make, but the County Commission
ers publish la their favorite organ, the Cnn
marcial, a carefully prepared address "To the
Tax Tayers of the County,"' attempting to
justify on the ground of economy. Xovr,
their position is well taken, it well sustain
ed. By it they have invited investigation,
and we proceed to gratify them, and at the
same time not only to show that they have
not been economical, but that they have at
tempted to take a mean advantage of the
Herald, in their attempt to show it. They
allege that on first assuming the duties of
cflicc they caused an inquiry to be made of
the I1EBAI.D and Co;nnurci(i( as to tlitir re
spective prices for printing election blanks,
"without notice that there were to be com
petitive bids." The Commercial bid $'(2 ;
the Herald first $00, then $15. Xow if
competition was desired, why conceal the
fact the bids were in reality competitive?
Was that fair or calculated to procure low
prices, by competition? We now have no
means of verifying our bid, if bid it was,.but
we do have a most distinct recollection of
our impression that the job was alloted the
Cumutrreial in advance, which impression
was verified the same evening, by the re
ceipt of a note from the Omtmrreinl, asking
ui to furnish them the paper for the job,
there not having been time meantime, to
notify it of the acceptance of its bid. It is
not alleged, it will be noticed, that the Her
ald was ever afterwards given a chance to
bid or name its prices. The dodgo of put
ting in one low bid, to secure future work
at remunerative prices, is as old and as well
known, as is the trick of the merchant to
soil one kind of goods, calico for instance, at
less than cost, to attract purchasers. So by
its low bid the CWimrrrMi secured ull the
jobbing for the past two years from these
officials.
But, in the effort to justify their sition
these gent'emen go back to 1S70, two years
before they were elected, and compare a bill
then rendered by the Herald with one ren
dered by the Cononrixial in 1S.S0, thus prov
ing to their satisfaction that our charge
were 41 per rent, greater. We will not
charge these gentlemen with a downright
attempt to deceive the public, as well we
might under the circumstances, but wc will
simply point out that the difference in pric
es of materials aud labor, between 1870 and
1SS0 will largely account for the difference
in charges, aud we inquire why as fair, hon
est men appealing to the public for the rec
titude of their conduct, they went back to
l!7o, and suppressed a bill of ours for job
work done i n September, 1S7., which shows
reduced prices, as material became cheaper?
However, as these gentlemen chose to go
back to 1S7G for a comparison, they will not
complain if we do the same thing. For
1S70 the printing and advertising for the
county cost $1274,05 ; in l:-!0, if there is
nothing to carry over as there was from
U79, it cost $1:500, 25, being an advance of
$'!2,00, which is in laughable contradiction
to the implied allegation that 40 per cent,
was saved to the county by the transfer of
tiic job work' to the Couiuitrcitil, and this
docs not include work done outside of the
county. While in 187l, the year this
great reform was introduced, the printing
cost $1390,75, being on increase of $125,10
over that of 1S70.
Again, in 170 theCommissionerspaid for
clerk hire $250 ; in l&sO they paid $745, to
which was added $!oi) as custodian. In
147G the total of Commissioners pay was
$t.'.V, 00 ; In 1SJS0, If theothers do not charge
more than Mr. MeClintock, $KsO,00. In
1S70 the total expenses of the county were
$--5.'!,t4.'5,74 ; in !S0 they were $54,KS2,Os, ;
while in 179 they were $3j,1k3,. And
again, in IS the cost ot holding appeals
was $175 ; while in lsf0 it cost $520,7.
Thus it will be seen that these officials
who make a public appeal to the tax
payers to witness their economy in the mat
ter of printing, have notwithstanding the
reduced prices since 1870 actually increased
the expenses of the county in the Items we
have mentioned $2,243,04.

The mail courier from Somerset has had
a rather serious task.for the iast week in

storm like an old soldier.
If the winter continues much longer
where will poor people get feed for their
stock ? aud where will the oats crop for the

harvest are promised they say and we'll take"
the weather as it comes.
In spite of all the inclement weather dur

t.'ijt, April 9, lSsL
En. Hekalu ; Permit one of the many
Republicans who heartily sustain yon and
: for political recognition and doing what they
can to disrupt the Republican party,
Who and what are they ?
! Mauv of them are bankrupt politicians :
I .
seme have vcrv stiti DactLS ana very sore
, l,eads : some have very supple backs and
very soft heads ; most of them for some pri
vate reason or grievance don t any longer
believe in party politics at all, but would
like to belong to a party which is not a par
ty ; with politics which are not politics.
Like every other organization the Repub
lican party has its malcontents, its fault
finders, its selfish men of more rapacity than
popularity, more ambition than bruins.
Kach recurring election has brought more
or less of them to the surface. To-day this
disappointed horde, this jangling, conten
tious brood lusting for power are denounc
ing the usages which preserve the Republi
can i.aHy, and through which they have
luckily been kept out of office, and under
the name of "Independents" hope by tome
bargain orsalc with Democrats, Greenback-
era, or what not to elevate themselves to
power as was evidenced by Reformer Wolfe's
little game at Harrisburg a short time ago
to coalesce with the Democrats and thas
elect himself United SUttcs Senator, and as
it was further, demonstrated by the recent
municipal elections of Thi'adelphia, Titts
bnrg, and even Somerset.
In our own county, hertofore so conspic
uously stalwart, our valiant Gcueral,a man
of domineering ambition and inordinate
vanity, jealous of every other man of popu
larity or ability, seeking distinction, and
I burning to gratify a personal grudgeagainst
j Senator Cameron as well as yourself, has
by means of petitions drawn around him
the sore-beads and sap-heads of the county,
together with a few mistaken, unsuspecting
men, and with this motley crowd to charge,
anil the Meyersdale Ananias to bellow, our
scarlcss warrior evidently intends to cry
'Havoc ! and let slip the dogs of war," un
less all aspirants for office hereafter bow
reverently to him and his.
Already the work of intimidation goes on
for threats are being made by some of these
delicious "Iadeicndent.s" that unless candi
dates join them they (the independents) will
bolt from their nominations, and defeat
them next fall by fusing with the Demo
crats. You can't recruit yonr forces in that
way gentlemen ; you had better, perhaps,
try a few more petitions. The bulldozer
won't thrive in this latitude.
Xow it is not snrprising to see the Mey
ersdale Ananias fuss and fuiuo over imagin
ary abuses and maliciously persecute people
because all this helps to sell his scurrilous
little sheet. He is at best an irresponsible
fellow, the less said of him the better, whose
sole object is to mako money. His egotism
is only exceeded by his arrogance. The
idea that a fellow whose pajier had to be
bought in the campaign of three years ago,
in order to keep it from bolting, that he
should now designate it as the organ of the
Republican party of Somerset county is
laughably absurd.
But General yui.-r inconsistency and vin
dictiveness do surprise people. You sus
tained the bolting minority at Harrisburg,
do you now sustain the Democratic minori
ty at Washington? The samegrcat principal
of majority-rule is at issue. How approv
ingly you could smile upon Ben Hill and
Dan Vorhecs ! Y'ou remenibe, too, . General
tlie South bolted from the decision of the
majority in '01, just as you hove recently
been doing. You must have been excited
when you drew your sward at that time and
vowed to wade through blood before you
would be coerced by a bolting minority.
You would have acted rashly General, had
you been as good as your word then, and
joined ' Lincoln's dogs" and helped lick
your bolting, bulldozing friends. Y'es you
must have been excited when you said the
ma jority must rule, or didn't you mean it ?
Which "?
The great trouble with you is. General,
that you have recently allowed your malice
and ambition to run away with your discre
tion. You have confounded yourself with
the Republican party of our county, and
t;ju rant till which is 'tothcr. Xow to a
man up a tree it looks as though you were
only a little General and not a great, big
party. The Republican party has honored
yon ami, perhaps, it may do so again, but it
will never, never allow you to dishvnor it.
It will not suffer you to break down its
usages and precedents just to gratify your
selfish designs. The people are not idiots
nor the detcendents of such, and all your
sophistry cannot convince them that the
party ulcer which you now champion is an
angel. The people intend faithfully to
guard the party that has so benificently
bbsed their country. They do not intend
to bolt with you and yourcliqne nor will they
help you scalp a faithful and honored lead
er of the party simply to pamper your ex
cessive malice. They are under some obli
gations to you, it is true, for the delectable
rrading you gratuitously furnish them in
the Meyersdalo Cummtrrwl, but their fealty
to party comes first,

Ed. Herald. I notice in the Meyer:lalv
Cummmhl of Sth hist., u. der date of April
2d, a communication ifnttnFJ. Watson,
Schrock, Mercantile Appraiser, iu v. hich be
Indulges lu some pleaantrv ; .nMfdSn.t n :o.:,
and a sow, and a tail.
In the same issue of the ' )..; .yt.'.i.' 1 tw
tire a list of alercaiitih: apprtti. ci. ati.i
I must say, if Mr. Schrock hat; done his
work throughout this county as it has been
done around Confluence and in it, onl;the
tall of the tinsinett is appraised, itml a very
devilish short tail too.
I find appraised as retailers: V. M. Ross
Co., GroffBros., A. G. Black t Co.. Leslie
Brown.
Patent Medicine dealers: A. M. Ross tt
Bro., A. G. Black i Co. Xow I wish to give
the actual Mercantile business of the town :
Retailers A. M. Ross & Bro., Leslie Brown,
Win. Dodds, S. H. Brooke, A. G. Black &
Co., GrotTBros., Jno. M, Ankeney, Jno. E.
M McXutt. Mrs. Leslie Brown has .open
ed a store this week in the room formerly
occupied by W. M. Dodds.
Patent Medicine dealers: A. M. Rossi
Bro., GrofT Bros., A. G. Black & Co., Leslie
Brown, Mountain tt Co., Druggists. The
latter firm yott notice are Drnggiats. They
follow as a business the handling of drugs,
tobacco, cigars and patcut medicines, yet
they do not appear in the list at all. Can
not any one see that Mr. Schrock has done
his work in a very imperfect manner ? Can
not any one see that the tax will not be
collected on one half the business of this
borough ? And if the appraisement has
been made in the same slovenly and slip
shod manner throughout the county, only
about one half the actual business has been
appraised, scems very plain to me. Why is
it that Mr. Schrock has made so defective an
appraisement? I cau only say that I at
tribute it to irjstomnre of his dnty aud the
law.
There is an old law, but I unfortunately
have it not by me. Which provides that
hotel keepers and others paying a revenue
to the Government, who wish to sell tobac
co, cigars or groceries, shall not come into
the classification of "dealers in merchan
dise" until their sales reach $l,0in). (I quote
from memory) even though they do sell
tobacco aud cigars, or groceries. Xow this
law only applied, and was only intended to
apply to hotel keepers and others paying a
revenue to the Government, who wi-hed
to join tobacco and cigars or groceries. But
an impression has gone abruad that any one
whose yearly sales do not amount to $1,000
is not liable to be placed in the appraisement
list at all. And Mr. Schrock has i'jnjrnullj
omitted the names that I have added.
Mr. Schrock would do well to look up the
law in this matter, and when he finds his
work only half done, he should complete it.
So far as the appraisement list shows there
are more persons engaged in the mercan
tile business here who are not appraised at
all than are appraised.
When the appeal is made to the Com
missioners, the Commissioners should ap
peal to Mr. Schrock to do his work over.
Xo more but am Respectfully,-
QriLP.
Lah BECTSVILLE, P.V., April 9, Issl.
Eiiitob Herald : I am reluctant to write
for the publi.", but, when the business in
terests of the tax-payers are trampled upon
by selfish men we deem it prujier to cail
public attention to the fact. I was always
under theiniprension that the County Com
missioners were elected by their constituents
to serve the whole county and not a part of
it only. The present Con.mi.-sioncr.s arc all
from the southern end of the County, and
consequently they serve the people from
their section and neglect tho jssijile from
the north. The people here desired a new
bridge built across the Stonyereek, north of
Shanksville, in place of the dangerous and
dilapidated old structure. The Commis
sioner? refused to do anvthins for the
North and our township supervisors are
compelled to leavy a tax of alKiut six hun
dred dollars upon our people iu order to
build a bridge the Commissioners were in
duty bound to build, especially when the
south of the County can have a county
bridge over almost every rill.
The Commissioners snt out their mttices
that they would levy a tax of five mills on
the dollar. After the notices had gone forth
they added another mill to the dollar which
to say the least looks like incapability. But
then these immaculate fellows must have a
clerk whom they pay a fat salary with fat
ter perquisites aud his son is paid a hun
dred dollars a year to clean the Court House
yard and a few other small items, to small
to mention, while other parties always cut
the grass and make the hay while Schrock's
son draws his pay and does not earn two
dollars of it.
When this august body hold their ap
peals the clerk gets an additional fee. The
best livery team in Somerset must bepnicur
eil and all this at the expense of the County.
Even when a bridge is viewed the livery
must be on hand or they ran not go.
We think it is time for the people, or tax
payers to call a halt so that these princely
coniissioncrs may have time for a little re
flection. They might then see the folly of
borrowing a thousand dollars at 10 per cent,
interest to buy a safe not needed when
plenty of money could be had for 0 per
cent. We can see no use however in bor
rowing money to buy a safe at all unless
they want to put the borrowed money into
it. The tax payers money is all squandered.
We desire to know by what authority
the Commissioners levy tax on purchase,
money? In this way they secure a double
tax from jiersons who have invested money
in property." We presume that it will not
be long before we will all be compelled to
pay a double tax so that these "Immacu
lates" can fare sumptuously, hire clerks,
yard cleaners, livery rigs and purchase safes
for ornaments about the Court House.
The Mercantile Appraisement has been
inserted in the Meyersdale CummtrrUil aud
Somerset JJrywnrt of this week while, it
does not apjiear iu the Herald. At this
postoflice, Brine, we receive one ropy of
the above naned papers, while the Herald
has a large general circulation here, ant as
we are tax payers we would like to seethe
advertisement iu the IIkku.h which was
heretofore the official newspaper of the
county and which has a larger circulation
than the other papers combined.
