The Somerset Herald. EDWARD BCtTLU Bdiwr and Proprietor. WCMftSDAT., , .....Trtrwy i. ! There are twenty five ex-Confed erate facers in the United States Senate, and more than fifty in the j House. ' "Mrrenv loves company." That is the reason, we presume, there is such a crowd of peckers after every j office in Cleveland's gift. The production of gold in this country increased the past year SS00.030: the total output of the mines amounting to ?30,S07,169. It is estimated that cinety thous and persons die every day. And yet the Democratic crowd for poet masterships appears undiminished. Oxly four weeks more, until the hungry and thirsty Democracy cone into possession of the spoils they have so longed for, lo ! these many years. Dcrivg the month of January the public debt was decreased $9, 420,046, which makes the total de crease 6ince the first of July last, 40,921,010. Oct of the 172 Republicans in our Legislature five only, refused to vote for Senator Cameron. Bolting is played out, aid white-robed peace baa sDread her wines over the Re publican "party. , ( The newspapers of the country pay f 1,500 ,000 annually to the Post ofice Department, and when a gen eral reduction of postage is being made, it is only just that they should be allowed to share in it. Congkks is asked for a further appropriation to build another vault to hold the silver. dollars which the government cannot put into circu lation, and yet the folly of minting this coin simply to be stored away, is continued. The inipresrion is getting abroad that an extra session of Congress will be called immediately after Cleveland's inauguration. Better consult Governor Fattison about the fruits of extra session?, before fur ther experiments. O.n Saturday last, James K. Jones was elected. H.SEenator by the Legislature of Arkansas. Thus, another Jones, (the third one) another Denutcrat, and another Con federate soldier, will be placed on roll of the United States Senate. Hon. G. V. Lawrence, of Wash-1 ington county, has announced him self as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. George will be out of a job when Congress aJjourns on the 4th of March next, and he evident ly believes in taking time by the forelock. - j It is proposed to form Westmore land and Somerset into a Congress ional district. Not any of that in ours, if you please, gentlemen of the Legislature! The Republicans of Somerset are not ambitious to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for others. Governor , Pattison received a' set-back from the Senate last week: four of his nominees being rejected by a full party vote. One of the rejected nominees was a rebel sol dier whotn the Governor bad select to take the place of a Union veteran, as Notary Public in Juniata county. The Democratic leaders will find that there is a vast difference be tween their party in power, and out of power. Out of power for a quar ter of a century, they have been mere obstructionists, but in power they must meet the issues of the day, and present some well-defined National policy. The Democrats in the Legisla ture are not claiming the earth quite so stoutly as they did during the late extra session, but they seem to think that the all tired licking they got in this Slate last November, don't count, and want the appor tionment based on t he vote of 1882. which would give them eleven Con gressmen all they heretofore claim ed. ' 1 gMMMBKMM O'Dokovak Rosea, the notorious dynamiter, was shot on the street in the city of New York, Monday evening nearuU office, by a woman. At last accounts he was still alive. The woman was arrested and ac knowledged the act, but will assign no reason for it The attempt to as . eausia&ie the fiend who was plotting the assassination of others, looks like retributive justice. The English scare over, the late ' dynamite explosion seems to be ex tending to this country, and some of oar lew makers seem to be afraid ' of the windy threats niade by a few1 fclaeterers. Tae sooner a man, j who is too cowardly to openly de nounce attempted assassination or help fraawJUsa .suppress and punisb iberaeaaeeioa, is retired from public life, the better will it be for the country. - tut Illinois Legislative deadlock 7ha atfast been broken by the elec , eioo of J&iines, Independent Dem ocrat, as Speaker. . Governor Ogles fcy, arho has be&a kept from assum ing the duties of ua office for three ereefc, jias dcljvered his inaugural sand the machinery of Stte is once again fawijr id motion. . A . Demo cratic 8eaater is lying dangerously, perhaps fatally ill, and his party friends, who by filibustering kept. tbe House Trbm beicj. organized up to this date, threaten ta ' further til ' his successor is elected. "The fact that a successor to General Logan in the U. 8. Senate it to be elected, and that the Legislature is evenly balanced, is the milk m the cocoa nut. and the "Democratic reform- ' . ershave defiantly resolved ' topre ventslf legislation, if thereby, they can worry the Republicans into permitting them to carry oS the prize. ""Yhe 1)111 to i take $10,000 from the State Treasury to assist in making a display at the New Orleans exhi bition, was very properly defeated in 'the House last week.. If good comes to the manufacturers of the State lrom the exhibit of their pro ducts, it comes to the firm or indi vidual, and only in a secondary de- greeto the State, and it is only jutt that those who are primarily and directly WneGted should defray the expenses. Let the exibitors put their bands into their own pockets, and not into the Treasury of the Commonwealth. The Democrats are all torn op over 'he dreadful suspicion that Grover Cleveland is inclined to shake off the mossbacks, and with thpm th venerable traditions of the partv. his declaration that this would be a business adminis tration, and that young, active busi ness men would perform its duties, has created the fearful doubt It is observable moreover, that it is the younger men of the party, the kids, so to speak, that be is inviting to visit and counsel with him. This is gall and wormwood to. the venerable men who have nursed, and cuddled, and set up o' nights, with the Jeffer- sonian and Jacksonian rehes, and who continually prattle of the rock ribbed, immutable and unchange able Democracy, and it brings un speakable woe and tribulation to their hearts. Mr. Cleveland will hav to walk warilv. else he will wreck bis bark before it is fairly launched. The inossbacks with their ancient doctrines and tra ditions, cannot be lightly whistled down the wind, a incapable?. They have held the Democracy up by the tail for the last twenty five years, and they will make things lively fr him before they relinquish tieir grip. Presides t-Eli ct Cleveland is storing up wrutti tor the day to come. In bia anxiety to be inform ed of the condition of his party, and the views and wishes of its leaders, he is inviting interviews with a number of them for consul tation. Of course, each ot these statesmen has a policy of his own to advance, and equally of course, Mr. Cleveland will receive and treasure up a large fund of informa tion, backed by much sage advice. But when he has bad al1 the garner ed wisdom dumped into his intel lectual hopper, and comes to sifting, and bolting, and sampling it, and selecting therefrom that which suits his taste, and is adapted for use, won't the fellows whose claims are passed by, or whose views and sug gestions are neglected, be in a wrathful mood? To be consulted with, and their views ignored; to be counselled with, and their advice rejected; to be flattered to the top of their bent, and then be cast aside: what can be be better calculated to arouse wrath and create jealousies? Verily it looks as if Mr. Cle 'eland. in his anxiety to , conciliate, and consolidate- and reconcile the well known conflicting views of his par tisans, had laid up for himself wrath for the day to come. lt is evident that there is go-f ing to be legislation on the license question this winter, but judging from the number of resolutions al ready introduced, no idea can be formed of what its character will be. Brooks, of Philadelphia, has in troduced a bill fixing ail tavern li censes in that city at $1000, and making $500 the minimum in all other parts of the State. It requires every saloon keeper to give bond in 62000, and creates the ntGce of ex aminer to receive applications for license, who-e fee shall be $10. Low ry, of Indiana, has introduced a -bill, requiring advertisement of the names of applicants, of the signers, the petitioners, and of bondsmen. StevensonTTif LiwreTiceand Glenn, of Armstrong, have introduced bilk requiring that the physical and hy gienic evils of intemperance shali be taught in all the schools of the State, and Thomas, of Philadelphia, block the wheels of legislation un has introduced three sliding seals liq- good adminigtr4tion measure to uor license bills. The firstdirects that I build a gunboa. And so one might saloons doinsr a business of S35.000'2' through all the committees. eball pay a license tax -of $3,500, those doing $30,000 a fee of 83,000 and at this rate of ten per cent, down to a business of $3000. which is made the least for which a license can be issued. The second bill im poses a tax of five per cent, on the manufacturers and bottlers of liquor, tbe scale extending from sal's of U .000,000 to $10,000. The third bill fixes license fees for the wholer r-ale liquor business at five per cent, tbe scale extending from 130,000 to 16000. In all iheee bills it is pro vided that one-half the revenue from licenses shall be paid into the County Treasuries. From out of these manifold jpropoaitious to xe strata ani eontrol tbe liquor UajQc, our UwaiWs wijl surely be Abje to evolve a law, moce . satisfactory than are the present cruie asui contradictory-statutes &a ia force fn this Commonwealth. - .

Experience snewswai toe stn.moroemeni w j prohibitory laws is an absolute im. I possibility, unless they are tacked by a strong public sentiment, and this sentiment is nat universal,-) far as is known, in any single com munity or Commonwealth. On this point a commission that has lately investigated the Iowa Prohibitory law wye: "It has restrained the sale I a J:Sam of liquor in the country districts, where t is strongly' supported ty public sentiment, but in towns and cities there is no restraint, and great er drunkenness there results from the illicit sale by the lower glasses of the people," We suggestU) our temperance friends that, while there is not much probability of their procuring prohibitory legislation, that judging from the apparent mood of legislators, they may, by addressing themselves to it, induce the enactment of a law requiring such high license fees to be paid, as will close up a great proportion of licensed houses, and enlist the vig ilance of those who do pay the tax, in the effort to suppress illegal sales to their injury. "Half a loaf i bet ter than no bread," eood friends! WASHINGTON LKTTKB. From Our Rrgular Oorretjxmdrnt. Washington, January 3D, 1885. With dynamite debates and resolu tions in both ends of the capitol ; with some attention to appropriation bills, and to a mas of rather unim portant miscellaneous matter ; with the secret sessions of the Senate over the treaties, and filibustering in the House, the Representatives of nearly sixty millions of people have writ ten another page in history this week. The work canuot be called credita ble to themeeives, or profitable to the Deople. It is the old habit ot Democratic dilatoriousness. But more ot this anon. The Edmunds anti-dynamite bill which passed the Senate with but one opposing vote, will provoke op position in the House frem other members besides the etetnal twisters of the British lion's tail. Those whose constituencies are large ly Irish will vote against it A wes tern member rem irked to me yestsi da v that the laws acainst crime were ample, and the bill was superfluous. He thought it the Secretary oi ti e Treasury required his subordinates to do tbeir duty, in the matter of in spection of shipment, dynamiters could not export explosives to Eng land. In other words a large part of his constituents hated hngland to such a deeree. that he was fearful they would remember to leave him out at the next nominating conven tion, if he voted for a bill that savor ed of sympathy for that nation. Ther" are d .iiy contents in the lower House now over the precedence of business. One member alter an other brings his favorite measure forward for consideration. The long roll call is taken, and usually the House refuses, by vote, to consider the bill. The other day Mr. Hewitt of New York, proposed the bill to carry into effect the Mex ican treaty, but tne house declined to discuss it It will not be passed this session. Congressman Single ton, f Mississipppi, pressed forward the Congressional library bill ; Mr. Townsendof Illinois, presented I the cltins of the mexican pension bill ; Mr, Stockslager.ef Indiana, thought the puhlc building measures were entitled to consideration : Represen tative Hunter, of Louisiana, sugges ted that it was time to take action on the bill for the encouragement of the American merchant' marine ; and Mr. Heuley, of California, wan ted to take op Northern Pacific and torfeiture bills, which was agreed to. The first bill on the calender, how ever, forfeited certain land in Michi gan, and the House refused to dis cuss it Likewise the next land grant bill was rejected. Mr. Van. Edton of Miss, then sub mitted various filibustering mo tions, to adjourn, over, to take re cess. Several more roll calls were taken, and finally wearied with roll calls, the Houbc adjourned. If a Republican President had been elected, a policy of administra tion would have been outlined for the next four years, during the pres ent winter, which would- have as sumed form in legislation. The Ke publican leaders in Congress would nave pressea tne legislation to a vote and it would have passed, or else an issue would have been made upon it against the Democratic House to decided by the people in coming elections With such laws and methods as it might command, the fourth of march would have seen the new administration at work to accomplish its purposes, mindful that four years are, sfur all, but a Bhort period in a Nation's life. Look at the Cleveland leaders in Congress, They are incompetent, and have no policy, no measures, no ideas. Since the death of the hori zontal tariff bill, the Waysaod Means Committee has been utterly expres sionless. Its bead, Mr. Morrison, ie thinking' only about the Illinois Senatorship. The Appropriation Committee devotes itself to stinting every necessity of the Government. Willie no vuaiiui.u, i.i. iium., id maneuvering for the next Speaker ship. The Banking and Currency' Committee do nothing. The Judi ciary, under Mr. Tucker, and the Foreign affairs Committe under S. S. Cox, is waiting for Mr. Cleveland to .'hfli- hv enrl Kv St in it tint Nothine hasleen done, and noth ing is likely to be done. Tbe South ern men have been oot of power so long that they are awkward, and do not now how" to lead. Their unex pected victory jrYercame them, and they are still in a convivial, maudlin stale. Besides' most of them would rather assert that secession was right, and that Jeff. , Davis was a patriot, than bring forward and advocate any wise measure of legis lation. While they go to dinner and parties, drink, smoke, tell sto ries, and ignore their duties as the leaders of a pafty, coming . into national . ' power, ' .democracy is becoming a laughing stopt.

It ' was low ; frame bnild ing, 12 feet front and 30 feet deep, with the kitchen and dining-room in the basement Above the bar room were two bed-rooms.' Next to this was the meat shop of Mrs Hammersdoerfer, . which building was just like the one occupied by Morris. Across . Thirty-third street was the saloon of George Mueller. He lived in a feur-story brick bouse, the bar-room being on the first floor and a tobacco manufactory on the second floor. Above this, and in the front of the second floor, were sloping apartments. ; . The first explosion occurred in the cellar of Mrs. Hammersdoerfer, 10:30 A. M. Mrs. Hammersdoerfer sent her sister into the cellar for a basket . Wben she reached the cel lar see struck a match, and instant ly there was a loud explosion, and the little building was almost shak en apart . The proprietress was ihrown across her shop, plasterng. glass and loose articles came crash ing in from all sides, and the girl in the cellar screamed wildly. Before people could recover their self-possession there was another tern tle explosion. It came from the cellar of Morns snlnon, and wrecked the basement Morris wa in bed at the time and was blown out on the floor, but not seriously injured. The bar-room was crowd ed with men, who were thrown about like ten-pins. ; Mrs. Hammersdoerfer found her sister and pulled her up from the cellar. Her little daughter was blown against the wall and covered with debris, and was badly hurt about the head and face. Miss Smoulder, the girl who first' went into the cellar, is so badly burned that she cannot recover. In the meantime a third explo sion had occurred in George Muller's saloon, across the Btreet - In the sa loon at the time were Annie Mueller, a daughter of the proprietor, ad Lizzie Galmath, a cook ; Dr. Ziegler, of Allegheny, and Jack Stern, mill worker. Miss Mueller was just go ing down into the cellar when the explosion occurred. She fell down the wrecked stairs and ' was caught by her feet, where she hung scream ing Charles Kuth, a barkeeper, heard her scream and ran into the room, which by this time was - in flames. Hp made his way through the fall ing ruins and debris to the cellar way rescued her. Dr.Zeigler was blown against the wall and injured inter nally. Lizzie Galmath was bnrned about the face and seriously hurt Jack Stern was so terribly burned that he cannot recover. When the third explosion occur red passenger Car No. 20, of 'he Cit izens' Line, was just passing. A .beer keg blown from one ot the sa-j loons bit the driver, William Rata, and knocked him senseless. The passengers were not injured. August Horn, Jacob Stein, Nellie Oxensbort, John Bevard, Willie . A. Putton and George Zinzer were pas sing along Pen n avenue when the explosion ocurred, and all were more or less injured by flying debris. The bouses of Morris and Mueller were badly wrecked, and , every house within a square was more or less damaged. Among the number were Ebert's saloon, . the Lawrence Bank. Tee's drug store. ScotlV gro cer, Baehin'e jewelry-store and Pey ton's saloon. No one was killed outright, but four' or five will die. There is intense excitement in ; the neighborhood, nnd a gang of men has been formed from the citizens to tear up the gas pipes to-night. Th loss on buicdings and stock is esti mated at TroTKryrsTxxr to $20,000 The gas fires Is ' still burning in the sewers.
