The Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCULL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY. . April M, W. The first iron Bailing ship built in this country, was launched it Roach's ship yard, in Chester, on Saturday last A call has been issued for a meet ing of the executive committee of the Greenback Labor party at Har risbnrg on the 2d of May. Senator Sherman positively de clines to be a candidate for Gover nor of Ohio, but his friends still per sist in urging him to accept the nomination, if tendered to him. The Democrats of Fayette county, J on Saturday last, nominated Hugh J. Gillmore, of Masontown, for the Legislature to fill the vacant seat of Dukes, the assassin of Captain Nutt Orders from post masters for sev en million postal cards were receiv ed at the Postoffice Department on one day of last week, being the larg est number ever before called for in one day. Philadelphia dethroned her "Borises" and enthroned her "Re formers," and never before was a more lusty howl of misgovernment beard, than daily ascends from the press of that city. A railroad percussion cap was accidentally exploded on a street in Boston hut week, without doing any damage, and the sensational news makers at once proclaimed that it was a death dealing bomb. Pennsylvania "Reformers" dis carded a gallant maimed soldier, and elected a Knight of the goose quill, Governor. They now appreciate the condition of the frogs in the fable, that reformed their government, by electing King Stork. McDamel's, the Democratic can didate for Governor of Georgia, was a Confederate soldier, and was badly wounded at Gettysburg, which facts will aid his election. In Pennsylva nia we "Reform" tliat sentiment by defeating crippled Union soldiers. Labor troubles are fomenting in many different quarters, and it looks as if the working men will again be guilty of the folly of inaugurating strikes, which, owing to the condi tion of trade, will probably be pro tracted ones, and cause much suffer ing and misery. Again the Census Bureau has run out of funds and is discharging a number of its clerks. There is some thing wrong about the management of this concern. Three years of time and an enormous 6um of money have been expended, and yet we are without any results. Ex-Senator McDonald, of Indi ana, now seems to be the most prominent Democratic candidate for the Presidential nomination. He is an avowed free trader, and says: Free trade is the true doctrine, and that a tariff in excess of a revenue standard, is simply taxing one man for the benefit of another. The "Independent" leaders, who took a number ef the people to the top of a high mountain, and prom ised them "Reform," if they would follow them, are not so prolific of promises just now, while their de ceived and betrayed followers, like mother Eve, regretfully cry : "The erpent beguiled me, and I did eat." The working of the "machine" was never more apparent, nor more effectually displayed, than in the passage of the Legislative apportion ment bill, by a solid Democratic vote in the House, and yet, these be the time Democrats who bawled so lus tily in unkon with the "Independ ents" against "machine" politics dur ing the last canvass. These be thy Coin! Oh, Rome! After a protracted struggle in tlirir State Convention, the Demo crats of Georgia, on Thursday last,! appointed a special committee of eighteeu, to seleet a candidate for Governor, which duty they perform ed by setting aside Messrs. Bacon and Boynton, the two leading candi date, and selecting Henry D. Mc Du me!, as a compromise candidate, who was then unanimously nomina ted. The Washington news-mongers are filling the papers with any anrount of twaddle about Judge Greshaai, the new Postmaster Gee- ral, as a etpital candidate for the rreaideney. W&Ljn sixty days They will be denouncing and ridiculing the Jude for having, as Jhey will allege, the ''Presidential bo ;.n his bouneL" getteg up men of strx and then knocking them down, these euterprisicg geoUemee denominate furnishing "iresh news- or the pre. X bill exempting the Seventh Jay Baptists, and others who observe that day of Ibe week as the Sabbath from the penalties of our Sunday laws, was again, last week, defeated in the House at Harrisburg. This is a species of religious intolerance worthy of the old "Blue law" days af Connecticut, against which Detu .orcatic politicians are so wont to xaiL Judge Black ought to turn his .eyes.fotn Utah to his native State, . and inculcate some of his views of ireligious Werance into his political brethren. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye "ven so unto them," used to be held pound doctrine. 4 Hos. Joseph J. Lewis, the oldest member of the Chester county bar, and formerly Commissioner of In ternal Revenue, died on Thursday last, at the age of eighty-two. Fearfully and wonderfully con structed were the arguments made by the Democratic statesmen at Harrisburg last week, to show that, when the Constitution says : "The Senatorial ratio 6hall be ascertained by dividing the whole population of the State by the number fifty," that it didn't mean what it says. How our old friend Judge Black in ante bellum days used to ding into our ears the doctrine that, true salvation was attainable only through a 'strict construction of the Constitu tion, and lo ! all hope of a happy fu ture is thus wrecked by a well oiled "machine" in the hands of his par tisans. Gov. Dawes, of Nebraska, calls at tention to the fact that '"the State Board Gf Agriculture offers liberal premiums for the greatest number of trees planted during the month of April, 1883, by any one person ; and for the greatest number planted or put out during the year 1S83. In addition to this, they offer a special premium known as "Arbor Day" premium for the greatest number of trees planted on a given day, di vided and classified as to varieties, and earnestly inviting competition thereto from all." He appoints, as has already been stated, Wednesday, April IS, as Arbor Day, and calls upon every resident of the State to plant The professions of some of our high stepping "Independent" lead ers, that they are "as true Republi cans as ever,." are a good deal like the Baptist convert, a mau of notori ously wicked life, who professed to have "experienced religion. The good church people chopped a hole in the ice and immersed the new be liever. The ceremony awakened much interest and was attended by many of the man's former boon com panions ; they crowded around the opening in the ice-bound river, and when the convert was dragged out of the water, a sinner sidled up to him and asked: "Are you cald, Jim?" "N-n-ji-n-o-o-o," responded the glow ing believer, with chattering teeth. "Bah !" responded the sinner, in high disgust, "dip him again, he's a bar still!" Oi'R Democratic "Reform" Legis lature, which came into power with such profuse professions and prom ises, has now been in session for more than an hundred days, and has proven to the public that it can gabble more and accomplish less than any of its predecessors. Dur ing these hundred days, for which each member will draw his salary of! one thousand dollars, only twelve bills have finally passed both Hous es. Out of these twelve, five have been vetoed by our "Reform" Gov ernor, and of those which have been graciously permitted to become laws, but one an act abolishing the of fice of sealers of weights and meas uresis of general interest The people are beginning to ask what is reform? And what is the use of a "reform" Legislature that will not take its instructions in advance from the "Reform" Governor ? This groping in the dark after "Reform" is proving to be a most expensive luxury, and judging from results, our model legislators do not recognize the genuine article when they come across it. Why not? and we make the suggestion with becom ing diffidence follow the device of patent medicine compounders, and conspicuously label the article: "none genuine unless bearing the signature of R. E. Pattison, the orig inal discoverer." This would save a yast deal of time, and labor, and money ; the diligent searcher after the genuine article would feel safe in swallowing it when found, and, moreover, be saved the risk of per sonal mortification on discovering that what they had taken for the pure article, was on examination, pronounced a spurious compound, by the great and infallible Doctor Pattison. How much longer this Legislature will remain in session, is a matter of the wildest conjecture, but as indi cating Us probable ending, we note that a proposition to adjourn on the first day of Juua has been made. Meanwhile, nearly seyer). hundred bills are still on the calander, and the really important measures, such as tis apportionment bills, the pro hibition amendment and numerous appropriation bills, are in a state of suspended anittaLjoa. Let the people posses their souls in patience ; we are only tasting aaiu the fruits of Democratic professions, and proving the truth of the adage thai "Hell is paved with good inten tions ! A Democratic orator told a New1 Jeney audience the other evening that nOvSng important had been accomplished in the political history of this country "ssjre through the medium of the Perooqra,c party." fcc;pe of the old soldiers with cyjm qries way question the statement . A Tennessee seWiclmaster set up the practice of kissing &3 girls by way of punishment The school be came 0 fractory under this course of discipline that the trustees Wi ,tp interfere in otdqr to re-establish the habit of study. Handsome rascal! Harrisburg TdegrajA: "The ex periment of electing a Democratic Governor and lower House of the Legislature has been tried, and the result should satisfy the roost dis contented and independent Repub licans in the State that there is noth ing to be gained by placing the De mocracy in power, or allowing them to stav there." Typographical errors count for something in Texas. An unfortun ate editor has just taken to the bush es, because the word "thriving" ap peared as "thieving" in reference to a business patron of the paper. The proposition for the adjourn ment of the State Legislature of Pennsylvania on the first of June will no doubt surprise many per sons who have so long been accus tomed to read in print journalistic denunciations of preceding Legisla tures on account of the. length of their sessions and the amount of work done. This, however, is a re form Legislature, and seems to re quire more time than usual to find out what to 'do and what not to do. Last fall a number of so-called "Independent" Republican papers did their best to sow the seeds of mistrust and discord in the Repub lican ranks, maintaining that the true path to victory lay through Re publican defeat. The" result was a bountiful crop of Democratic victo ries all over the north. Now these same papers are clamorous for a re united Republican party. Had they shown half the zeal last fall in be half of reform inside the Republican lines, there would be less occasion now for these urgent appeals for harmony. With Democracy en trenched in power in most of the northern States, the battle of 1884 will have to be fought under great disadvantages. Gettysburg Star and Sentinel. Foand Murdered. Denver, April 12. The body of Fred Warner, brother of the late Senator Wagner, a native of New York, and for whom an extended search wes made last fall, was found by emigrants last Sunday on the bank of a creek eight miles from Powers' station, on the Santa Fe Railroad. The body was terribly disfigured. Considerable money was found scattered about it, also a plain gold ring inscribed, "A. B. to P. W., February 1, 1S81," and a bus iness card marked "Frederick Wag ner, successor to J. Bumiller, New York." A bullet hole in the back of the neck proved conclusively that Wagner was murdered for the large amount of money he was supposed to carry about his person. Prairie Fire. Lincoln, April 10.

Warfield, Robert Good win and Han son Dorsey, have been arrested for setting fire to the stable, and will have a hearing to-morrow morning. It is said while engaged in a game of cards they set the place on fire, whether accidentally or not, is not known. The belief is gaining ground that it was intentional, as otherwise they could easily have extinguished it The coroner's jury to-night, in quiring into the cause of the death of Thompson and Shaeffer, rendered a verdict that the stable was fired through gross negligence and reck less disregard of lite and property by the parties under arrest A Steamer Sinks.

Co. has filed for record in the Supreme Court of this city a mortgage deed to secure the pay ment of $12,000,000 worth of bonds to be issued shortly to defray the coat of the construction and equip ment of its new line between Balti more and Philadelphia. The oom nanv's intention to build this road has been known since the spring of 1881, when Vice President Robert Garrett made an unsuccessful at tempt to secure a controlling inter est in the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, thereby leading to the purchase of that road by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany. For over a year two corps of engineers have been.engaged in sur veying lines through this State and Pennsylvanfa, and the right of way has now been obtained under the sanction of acts of the Legislature of Maryland, Delaware and Pennsyl vania. The mortgage is made to W. F. Burns, John Gregg and T. Harri son Garrett and was executed on the 2d of April in accordance with a res olution passed by the B. & O. Di rectors on March 14th last, ordering the issuing of bonds to build the road to the amount of two million four hundred thousand pounds ster ling. The bonds have been issued by the railroad company to Brown, Shipley & Co., of London, England. They are for two hundred pounds sterling each, dated April 2d and bear interest at four and a half per cent Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wbolesoiaeness.

My life was getting wearisome, and my sullering Increasing : especially the serera paint in my back bad Increased to such an extent that I cvultl not stand np to work at my basinesa, and the pains would dart from by baek through my bladder and the region of my groins, and were so Intense and weakening that 1 felt tha: I ouold not lire loag in this condition. Ai I had become euavlnced that my tlokness resulted from Kidney Disease, I decided to try Hunt's Kemedy, and I had taken only about a half a buttle before I began to improre, and was relieved of the dread ful backache and pains In tha bladder and groins, and was soon able to stand up at my bench again and attend to try work as weU as ever ; and al though this was nearly six years ago I had no re' turn of my trouble unUl a few weeks ago, after getting up from an attack of fever, some of the old pains in my baek eame oa ; but I took Hunt's Kemedy again and it banished them at once, and I am now well and attending to my business When I told my doctor that I had been cured by Hunt's Remedy, he replied that be had used it. and knew It to be an excellent medicine. I have recommended Hunt's Semedy to my friends, and it has given entire satisfaction, and Ich rful!y recommend it to all who have Kidney or Blad.lt-r trouble. ' A LIFE IX DAXGER. This Is the fact concerning every maa. woman and child who has in the body tha seeds of Kid ney, bladder, liver and urinary diseases, from which may spring Brlght's disease of the kid neys. Such a prospect is simply terrible ; and it Is the doty of every one to be rid of the danger at one. To do this Infallibly use Hunt's Kemedy, the great kidney and liver medicine. N OTICE.
