The Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCTLLs Editor and Proprietor. I WEDWESDAT .JnorT H, l- D i' RING the past year the public debt wa reduced 110.000,000. A bill has already been introduced in the Ohio Legislature to repeal the Scott law. Thb man who is io favor of a pro tective tariff, is bound to vote the Republican ticket this year, if he claims to be consistent. It looks as if Hancock was right when in 1SS0 he declared "the tariff was only a local issue." It seems to be local in a good many places just now. Chairman- Cooper has called a meeting of the State Central Com mittee for January 23J, to fix the time for holding the Republican State Convention. TniRTV years ago lager beer was almost unknown in this country. Now, 2,500 large establishment, with $150,000,000 of capital, are engaged in its manufacture. The yearly val ue of the product is $200,000,000. The Democratic fre trade paper? are ju!"t now engaged in tfie attempt to bull-dose Sam KunduII, by threat ening to read him out of the party for opposing their efforts to repeal the protective duties of the present tariff. It costs the Government $SO0.OX) for salaries of employes in the New York post office, exclusive of letter carriers. This is a greater sum than is paid to the employes in the post office Department and in the Wash ington pott office. Since Carlisle was made Speaker of the House, his Democratic free trade admirers appear to think there is no limit to his popularity, and he is being urged for election as a Sen ator from Kentucky, and freely can vassed at a IraJing candidate for President, "it never rains but it pours." For about the twentieth time it is announced that the B. & O. 11. Company proposes to push to com pletion its Hemptield branch leading from Connellsville through Wash ington to Wheeling. Five miles of the heaviest work near Washington, and three miles near Connellsville, have been put under contract. Law is getting to be such an ex pensive luxury that men of moder ate. means cannot indulge in it. Every few days we see statements of fees, of such magnitude being paid to lawyers, that we deem the stories apocryphal. But here comes an offi cial statement, showing that in the two unsuccessful star route trials, the Go"ernment has paid SS'J.OOO to its lawyers. Of this sum Mr. Kerr got 831 ,000, Mr. Bliss. $30,000, and Mr. Merrick. $17,500. By the defeat of Senator Pendle ton for re-election, the Democrats have defined their josition in regard to civil service reform. They have no use for it, and are therefore hos tile to it. Senator Pendleton is in favor of it, and this whs the sole rause of his overthrow. He is an able man. and made a most excel lent Senator; his character is unim peachable, and his personal popu larity was lcrge, but he was in favor of reforming the civil service, and therefore bis usefulness as a spoils Democrat was destroyed. The Dem ocrats want the loaves and fishes every time. Th at able Democratic paper, the New York Sun, is opposed to the free trade policy of its present party leaders, and does not hesitate to say that it will lead to dofeat. It is sat isfied, however, that the false steps taken will not be retraced, and in its issue of Wednesday last, says : " It is true that some of the con spicuous gentlemen who have ini tiated this notable movement, now show evidence of a desire to draw back ; but in this second purpose they are uot likely to be gratified. The movement has become too htrong for them, and while the re sponsibility attaching to the tempo rary overthrow of their party by their own hands may well seem grave enough to give the most ener getic statesmen pause, we do not be lieve that it can suffice to make them depart from convietions avowed for yean and from a doctrine which they have long advocated with en thusiasm and ability. The Democratic party may be de feated, but the flag of free trade will not be struck. No cowards will be allowed to approach the halliards !" j A Greenback crank named Weller, jwho has found his way into Con Igress from Iowa, has introduced a bill providing for the issue of $o00, 000,000 in Treasury Notes, in which to pay to soldiers and sailore the difference in value between the greenbacks with which, they were paid and gold, together with eight per cent interest thereon. It has been the fashion of the Democratic press of late, to denounce the Republican party for its alleged subserviency to corporations and monopolies Since the Standard Oil Company, one of the wealthiest corporations and the greatest monop oly in this country, has just pur chased the nomination ef a Demo cratic U. S. Senator in Ohio, we suppose the journals of that party will now ''give us a rest" Mr. Samuel J. Randall posed as a protectionist and was beaten for Speaker, by an avowed free trader, who has placed the tariff question in the hands of a free trade commit tee. Since the happening of these events, some of the fool friends of free trade have undertaken to read Mr. Randall out of the Democratic party, and nowcomes the news from Washington, that he and about ferty of his followers are about to come over, bag and baggage, into the Re publican camp. The Republican party has no room for tariff men of Mr. Randalls stripe, who, when Speaker, placed the most uncompro mising free trader in the House at trie head of the Ways and Means Committee, and personally accepted the doctrine, and advecated "a tarifl for revenue only." Mr. Randall may possibly come over to the Republican party when the millenium arrives no sooner. He is a Democrat by inclination and by interest. He represents a Pennsylvania tariff constituency. He has straddled the- question of protection for years, and when the time comes that he must get off the fence, like George M. Dallas, his predecessor and prototype, he will drop down on the free trade side. Personally, he differs but little from Mr. Carlisle on this question, and when prudence calls, or necessity will, he will be found arm in arm with him, marching under the ban ner of lree trade. "lives to the maintenance of Democ "racy, by a combination against "them of hatred and overgrown "wealth. I want to "see all true Democrats have a fair "chance according to their merits, "and do not want to see a political "cut throat bossism inaugurated lor "the benefit of a close party corpora "tien and syndicate." And General Warner, Congress man from the Marietta district, openly declared that, "the party was placed upon the block, and sold out to the Standard Oil syndicate,' and in the most emphatic manner ad ded: "The evidence is not wanting that this is the most corrupt contest that was ever waged in any political party North or South. The methods adopted by the gang you see here would fill a political graveyard even in Texas, and the men engaged in i it The men who are howling down Pt-nelit ton do not represent ten per cent oi the Democratic voters in Ohio, and if he is defeated it will be because of the introduction of the most damnable methods in our pol itics. It will be a complete over throw of the party far years to come. The machinery of the party is in the hands of those who are engaged in the disreputable methods here no ticed, and they will be held to a strict accountability for their deeds by the people." Just now, the indignation of the decent portion of the part is hot against the office brokers, and por tends anything but united action in the coming Presidential contest, but Listory shows that a Democratic politician never goes beyond the point of protest, and we will doubt less find in the Presidential battle, a united Democracy cuddled under the dirty blankets of the Standard monopoly, all equally intent on the spoils of office to be secured by success. Payne and the Presidency. Cleveland, January 13. A gi gantic movement has been inaugura ted t elevate Henry B. Payne to the Presidency. The Payne -jo ona gers conducted the election in Ohio last fall and secured control of the State organization. Over twenty thousand dollars of Payne's money was used to carry the State for Hoadly. In the recent Senatorial contest Payne defeated Pendleton and is now" the leader of the Ohio Democracy. This Senatorial 1 move ment from the first was but a step ping stone for the Presidency. Sam uel J. Tilden is a firm friend of H. B. Payne. He has been int erested in the movement from the start, and it is claimed that his influen ce for New York is guaranteed. Mr. Payne's son in law, William Whit ney, of New York, has considerable influence with John Kelly, and John Kelly himself is said to be per sonally interested in Payne's candi dacy. New York, the principal stronghold for anv candidate, is se- vould be driven trom tne state. ! "'lcauJ- mum.., oi tlie ztanaard, who was the quiet manager ol the campaign at Colum bus and whe really is the (juicing power of the movement, is a brot her in law of United States Senator dun duo, of West Virginia, a man of great political influence, who is in terested himself warmly in the Payne business.

While the day was without exciting event, the determination displayed by the counsel for the defense and the prosecution indicated what may be expected when the trial ban rot ten under full headway. The com paratively routine work of impan eling a jury, tedious as it u import ant, was r-iided without an outbreak, and court adjourned with everything in readiness to lake testimony this morning.

I'ajne Heals I'eiull.-t.ni. Bt'T a lew brief months 6ince, the air of Pennsylvania was vocal with Democratic shouts for reform, and Democratic organs and orators, were filled with unbounded admiration of Republicans who "kicked out! against bossism and the machine." There is a spectacle for reformers to look upon aud profit by just at this time in Ohio. The highest office in the State has been sold at public auction to a syndicate of cut-throat bosses, and of course the Democrats of this State will at once don their armor and do battle in the interest of reform. We are listening intently for the slogan of Pattison and Cassi dy and their following. The bosses must go. Down with corruption to be followed by shrill cries from their Republican allies of last vear. of "Bully boys." -Hit him again."' "Never ay die." "Death to bossism 1 and oorruptien." Up 1 op 1 Reform-' rt ! febow your manhood, and make the welkin ring! 1 The bitter fruits of zeal without discretion, is now being tasted by the Prohibitionists of Ohio. The now famous Scott law, enacted by the Republicans rf that State, was not satisfactory to them, because it was not as ultra as they desired, and therefore, they last year, by support ing a ticket of their own, threw the State into the hands of the Democ racy, and already a bill has been in troduced in the Legislature to repeal that law. In his annual message sen; to the Legislature last week, Governor Foster 8.13-6 : "The receipts upon the sale at re tail in Ohio of wine, leerand intox icating liquors probably amounts to the enormous sum of $70,000,000. Under the act passed by the last As-embly, which is the first seeking to impose restraint upon the liquor traffic ever passed in the State that iiad been successfully put into prac tical execution, more than 4,500 sa loons, and places where the traffic had been carried on, have gone out of existence, and if the law is per mitted to stand, the numlter retiring from the business will be materially increased. A revenue of nearly 51, 900,000 has been received from the operation of the law and paid into the various city, county and village treasuries of tiie State Under the "local option" feature of the law a number of village have, by ordi nance, prohibited the traffic within their corporate limits, but because of the phraseology relating to tip pling houses, the sale of spiritous liquors cannot be prohibited, if not sold in tippling houses. The law should be amended so as to include spiritous liquors, the sale of which as well as wine and beer, may be prohibited by ordinance, and the provisions of local option should be extended to townships so that, when by village ordinance the traffic is prohibited, the people of the town ship may prohibit also if they choose, thus preventing the traffic upon the border line of the village. The General Assembly may re?-t as sured that there is an overwhelming public sentiment opposed to the de mand of the liquor dealers, and in favor of giving the Scott law a full and fair trial before any interference with its provisions is attempted." This statement of the Governor shows the Prohibitionists, what they will lose by the repeal of this law, to which the Democrats are pledged, and again is exemplified the adage of "Grasping at the shadow and los ing the substance." After the bitterest and most per-j sonal fight ou record, the Democrat ic members oC the Ohio Legislature on Tuesday of last week, nominated Henry B. Payne for U. S. Senator, over the head of Mr. Pendleton, the! present incumbent The only bjec-' tion penly urged against Pendleton j was that he favored civil service re- i form, and the emphasis of his over-1 throw can be judged bv the fact; that, out of the eighty -two votes ia caucus, he received only fiftten. The secret of this terrific slaughter ef the once favorite Democratic son of Ohio, is cempressed in the one word money. The Standard Oil Com pany threw its purse in the scale against the unsullied character and admitted ability of Mr. Pendleton, and won. This is the whole story. There is no way of accounting for the selection of a senile candidate, more than seventy-five years of age, over a man like Pendleton, except on the theory of bargain and sale, and on this point the testimony is cumulative and mainly from Demo cratic sources. Thus the venerable ex-Senator, Judge Thurman, said! during the progress of the fight : j "There is something that shocks I "me in the idea of crushing men like!

Born under the Stars and Stripes, the Southern men have never ceased to admire and love it, respect it, cherish it. When tlie Democratic party gave over the Treasury of the United States to the Republicans the vaults were empty and money difficult to borrow at ten and twelve per cent. They groan now over the miseries of the people because the Treasury has its many hundreds of millions and money is easy at three per cent intere?t.

A Blue Day For Democracy. k York Timet ( Rep. ) January 9. It was a blue day for the Demo cratic party yesterday, not only in Ohio but throughout the country. Despite the indignant protest of Mr. Thurman, the strongest foe of mo nopoly in the Democratic ranks, the Standard Oil Company nominated its Senator, Mr. Payne, and the can didate of real reform, Mr. Pendleton, was not only defeated but badly de feated. Fifteen out of eighty-two, or abaut 18 percent, is the highest attainable piopnrtion of streuzth for reform in the Democracy. "Ixt the rascals in!" CoLUMr.i s, January 9. The Denio- ! cratic caucus last night nominated ! lion. Henry B. Payne for United States Senator on the first ballot. Mr. Payne, who is a leading citizen of Cleveland, is about 70 years old, and was the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio in lS-7, but was defeated by Salmon P. Chase. In lS-"7 and VS he joined Douglas in Stumping Ohio ia opposition to the Lecompton Constitution, and supported DougIa in th Democrat ic National Convention in li-ffJO. During the war he was an advanced war democrat. In 1S71 he was elected to congress in a republican district. He was a member of the famous Electoral Commission, and of course supported Tilden. In 1-S.S0 prior to the meeting of the Democrat ic National Convention, he was re garded as Tilden's candidate for the Presidency. His nomination will weaken the democratic party in the next campaign, owing to hisunpop ularity among the workingmen, and to his representing as a lawyer, un popular corporations.

On Friday Bight last ten rough looking men, wearing masks, came to the jail about midnight and de manded the keys of J Stiner, the person in charge. He said they were not in his po-session. The mob then (all of whom are said t have been under the influence of liquor) commenced to batter down the dour M eanwhile shotting with pistols and guns through the doors and win dows took place. Atchisoa fought furiously inside for his life, though shot three or four times. Once he knocked a pistol out of the hand of a man who had thrust it through a break in the door. a brutal exhibition. The desperadoes occupied two hours in forcing their way into the cell of the doomed man, during which time the masks fell from the faces of five of them, who were rec ognized bv a man on guard. Atchi son wps finally secured, and. bleed ing frm four wounds, almost dead and unible to walk, was tied and dragged away. About two or three o'ci.ick in the morning the lynchers told the guard lie would find their prir-oner on a certain tree about a half mile from town. After daylight lie followed the track where the. un fortunate man had been dragged through the snow and found his dead bodv on the tree indicated. Minebsville, Pa., Jan. 8. A ro mance in real life was completed here to-day by a wedding in court which not' only furnishes a strong illustration of devotion in humble life, but involves an interesting legal point. A week ago Susie Bradley, a voung girl, was brutally assaulted and shot by her lover, Dennis Pike. The young people wanted to marry, but the girl s parents objected. So to hoodwink them she pretended to jilt Pike for another man. The lover not understanding the girl's scheme became jealeus, andin a fit of ungovernable rage struck and shot her. He was locked up to await trial. Yesterday the girl disappear ed and her lriends were alarmed To-day she reappeared at the prison. She bad been to see a lawyer, and having learned that a wife cannot be compelled to testify against a bus band, had determined to marry her jealous lover forthwith, loung Pike consented gladly, but the warueti oi the jail declined to permit the cere mony. The girl then applied to the court, which was in session, and by order of the Judge Pike was brought into court, and after receiving a lec ture the twain were made one. The Court was in doubt whether to allow the wedding, but upon consultation with another judge and several lead ing lawyers decided to do so, and nid proved the indictment against Pike.

There was not even a steel brush available, appar ently, and the locomotives soon grew helpiess. The cowcatchers permitted the snow to reach the fir-s, and the maintenance of steam was the work of the greatest difficulty, while tiie flying snow clogged the works of the engines, chilled the bearings and gathered on the drivers and rails so that the big wheel revolved with out moving a foot. Locomotives witlnn 100 feet of their trains at the depot in Allegheny could not back that distance to start on their trips. The difficulty has been remedied, to a certain extent, by ignoring freight traffic of all kinds, save the transpor tation of live stock, and by running light engines over the track every hour. Notwithstanding this, passen ger trains are still from one hour to four hours late on all the prominent roads, and on several of the branches traffic has been entirely suspended. Several frame buildings in this city were wrecked to day by the weight of the snow. One person was slight ly injured.

Larrell, who was frozen to death on Friday niijht at Savior, caused reat excitement among the Scandinavian population here. About three hun dred of them gathered in the streets in the vicinity of the college yester day, and at one time it was feared there would be trouble. Three of the leading ones sued out a writ of replevin, ami an officer armed with it, ascended the stairs to the tjp of the college building. The dean could not be found, and the professors in charge denied hav ing possession of the body. The oflict-r broke down the door of the dissecting room and there discovered the corpse lying on the tab!- while tiie sought for Dean was standing by looking admiringly down it. The bodv was taken ami Wilkksbakke, January 11. For a long time past bad feeling has ex- i'-ted between the County Commis sioners and a majority of the mem bers of the bar, which culminated this morning in the sending ofa bill of indictment to the grand jury against the Commissioners for neg ligence in not carrying out certain improvements in t:ie court nou-e ordered by tlie grand jury some time ago. There was much excite ment among th lawyers and for a time great confusion prevailed. Ex Judge Harding led the lawyers in the attack upon the Commissioner; and was followed by several others, who demanded of the Court that a bill of indictment be drawn up im mediately. Judiie Woodward then called up the District Attorney ami instructed him to draw up tlie bill that had been requested. The com missioners say the lawyers are en tirelv too "'fresh ;"'thev are working for the interests of tax-pavers and mean to conduct an economical ad ministration. L. M.
