The Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCULL Kditoe and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY.. ..AFRILli, IS. Is Cincinnati last week tbty "turned the rascals out," the Repub lican majority reaching Feveral thousand. Oct f the tix New England States, four of them have prohibi tory c!auea in their constitutions.; The exceptions are Massachusetts and Connecticut. The Clearfield county miners are asking the Governor to act as arbi trator between them and their em ployers, and therein they show their good sense in the choice of the trib unal, if net of the judge. Tee papers of Westmoreland county are tearing their hair orer a five-mill county tax levied by their Commissioners. In this county we have a ix mill tax, and are trying t take it coolly and philosophically. A coostiulional amendment pro hibiting the manufacture and sale of liqjur in Rhode Island was car ried at the election last week by a majority of over three-fifths. The vote whs the largest ever polled in the Stute. The House settled the question of unrestricted silver coinage on Thurs day last, r far as- this session is coiiccrLt-j, by a vote of 12C ayes to K:j nays Ho there is lo be some check at lwHt to the Untitle issue df silver dollars. And now it is Charles A. Buckalew that the Democratic press is trying to boo-l f.r Governor. Let it be Ilui-kalew. bv all means. Hartranft kn x:keJ the stuffing out f him in 1S72, and leaver cn repeat the feat a:id not half try. Thk Republicans of Rhode Island last week re-elected Governor Wet roore by a handsome majority, and cecured a solidly Republican As sembly. Thin ensures there-election of Senator Aldrich, and the Repub licans ef that lirtle State are conse quently happv. Hon. J ski'H Pilitzer, of New York, has reigned his seat in Con gress, intending to devote his entire time to his newspaper, the New York World. Mr. Pulitzer has sel dom been in his seat during the present ression, and his Democratic brethren will therefore Bcarcely note his loss. Ever fine his inauguration the gossips have been insisting on the marriage of the President. It is now telegraphed from Buffalo, his home, that Miss Folsom, of that city, has announced to her intimate friends her engagement to the Presi dent, bat that the time for the cere mony is not yet fixed. One of the Democratic Comniis moucrg of Lehigh county Las been arrested for a violation of the elec tion laws by promising offices to se cure his election. He was entirely too prolific of promises, and when elected hadn't positions enough to go rnund. So, one of the disap pointed aspirants squealed, and a prosecution has been commenced. Congressman Bennett, f North Carolina, declared in a speech in the House the other day that the South ern people regarded the doctrine, "to the victors belong the spoils" as " God's gospel." No intelligent per son will dispute the gentleman's as sertion, and honorable men will give him credit for his blunt and manly declaration. It would be easier for a leopard to change its spots, than for a Bourbon Democrat to willingly surrender the spoils. The Secretary ef the Treasury is verr kind to Collector Dowlin, of this district. He has created several new offices lor him, in which active Democratic partisan are snugly en sconced. The scoffers, however, in sist that the main object is to pro vide places lor the frenchmen oi Congressman Boyle, who is laboring l.ir a re-nomination. 1 was but a brief time since, that the Democrats were bawling theuisvlve? hoarse over the "swarm of useless internal rev enue officials" kept in office by the Republicans. Chairman Coopkr has issued his call for a meeting of the Republican State Committee, to be held in the building of the Union Republican Club in Philadelphia, on Wednes day, April 14th, for the purpose of fixing the time end place for the meeting of the Republican State Convention, and for the transaction of other businees. We hope that there will be a full attendance of the members of the Committee from the rural districts, and that they will insist upon a later date than June for the Convention. is Judge McPberson of Lebanon couirfy is correct in his view of the Jaw enquiring physicians to be registered, the doctors of the state bad better begin to "look a leetle out."1 The Jearned Judge fined a physician, egularly registered in Jierks connty, for practicing id Leb anon county without a license there also. The law provides tiiat nothing in it shall be construed to prevent any phyeicias er surgeon legally a titled to practic medicine or surgery in the State in whieh he resides from making professional risits in the Commonwealth, and to Is layman ! Judge Mcpherson's interpretation of i the law appears to be etraiued and against public policy. Of course, the Supreme Court will be called upon to finally settle the matter. 4 The result of the electien in Cin cinnati last week sheds a good deal of light upon the methods of the Democracy in last year's campaign. In the now famous precinct A, Fourth Ward, f Cincinnati, ia Oc tober 18S5 the Democratic vote was returned at 926 and the Republican vote at 48. At last week's election the Democratic vote was 292 and the Republican vote was 203. Thus in this one precinct the Democratic loss on former vote was CM, and the Republican gain on former vote was 15a. Total Democratic loss from an honest count 789. As makers, not executors of the license laws, the Judges of this State are making for themselves a wide spread reputation. For instance, i Judge Sadler, of Cumberland coun ty, and Judge Rowe, of Franklin, have refused to license basement bars, while Judge Krebs, of Clear field county, has decided that saloon keepers must remove all paint from their windows, Screens from before their doors and bars, and close their bars not later than 10:30 p. m. These are all salutary provisions perhaps, but from whence these learned judges evolve their power to pre scribe or enforce them, is a matter of conjecture to unlettered laymen. On Monday of last week (the 5th inst) the House by a vote of 15S to CS passed the bill granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the Mexican war. The bill provide that $S per month shall be paid to all the survivors of that war who en listed and served for any period dur ing the years 1S45 to 184$ inclusive. The act does not apply to persons under political disabilities, but as the disabilities of nearly all the confed erate soldiers have been removed, the older ones who served in both wars will nw draw pensions for their services in Mexico, should this bill become a law. The bill has been frequently defeated heretofore, be cause Republicans were averse to having ex-confederate Fnldiers reap its benefits. The Nashville Rrgt.-trr has taken alarm at the free-trade proclivities of the Democratic majority in Con gress, and reminds its brethren that one-half of the Democracy of the South are old line whig who are Henry Clay protectioiUU. Section alism and the war drove these men into the bosom of the Democratic party, but they carried with them the protective principles they had been taught at the feet of Henry Clay, and they now begin to feci like astertiug themselves against the heresy of free trade. The South has as great an interest as has the North in protecting her home indus tries from foreign competition, and she will not much longer be kept solidly Democratic by appeals to sectionalism. When the Knights went to Mr. Hoxie to arrange their grievances, they demanded that he should dis charge all the new men he had tak en en after they struck, and restore every laNt one of the strikers to their former positions. Suppose he had done so? Would not the men thus discharged have an equally serious grievance to resent? If after being taken into the service of the railroad, wouldn't they be apt to ask why they were turned out ? What i9 sauce for the goose should be sance for the gander." The Knights struck because one of their members was discharged, and now they demand a wholesale discharge of the men who took the places thev voluntarily abandoned. They should remem ber that it's a poor rule that won't work both wavs, and that the Amer ican public al nay e sympathizes with tho who are for fair play. The sweeping Republican majori ties at the Ohio and Indiana elec tions last week have startled, if not terrified the Demcatic leaders of the country, and they are casting about them for the cause. Tfiey are quaking in their shoes over the out look for t!)' future, and are begin ning ta tremble for their majority in the next' House. The South z be coming aroused on the tariff ques tion and the spoilsmen are falling off from an administration from; , . .i 1 mi which they reap no benefits The Ueniocraiic parly was never oeiore so cut np and divided, and it re - quires only a determined and united effort on the part of llpubliear,s to secure a majority in the iext House. If Morrison's amended free trade bill, now ready to be reported, and which largely reduce? the duty on sugar, and places cosl, salt, lumber, wool, ores, etc., on the free list, pars es the House, it will be the straw that will break the Democratic cam el's back, and will almost inevitably secure to the Republican" a iajo! ity of the members of Congress that will be elected next fall. . The "wee emi' voice heard through the western local elections last week has warned the Democracy of coming events, and they are bad ly alarmed. Already calls are made apoo the leaders to cease their quar reling with the President, and be in turn is advised to give more consid eration to their opinions. That the Democratic leaders at Washington are badly scared is not attempted to be concealed, and they go about from one to the other expressing the fear that they will lose the House by the next election. The &ar speaking for the Administration says : "Mr. Cleveland has come to the conclusion that there is some thing more that he can do for har mony's sake without breaking his promise to tha country, and is wil- ling and, in fact, about to take a step toward the uniting of the par ty." The Democratic and Mugwump comitiuawon u airamea 10 most tension, and it ia plainly evi- dent that the coalition is nearing it 1 - . , .. . end. The old Democrats cannot ( exist without the t-poils, and Mr. Cleveland must either "cut bait or fish." As will be seen in our news col umns, the strike at St. Louis iias re sulted in murder and arson, and east St Louis is now a military camp, militia guarding the railways j and assisting in the work of starting I trains. Accounts are very conflict-, ing as to who committed the first j deed of violence resulting so lamen-1 tably, and each side insists that trie other is responsible. A legal inves tigation, which will ot course lollow, will fix the responsibility, but the origin of the trouble unquestionably lies with the strikers. Of course, the terrible sequence that followed was not counted upon, but by lawlessly resisting the running of trains by J others, which they refused to man,. the strikers engendered the feeling that brought about the shedding of innocent blood and the destruction of much valuable property. The firing by the deputies was cowardly and unjustifiable, but the local lead ers of the Knights of Labor must bear the responsibility of having originated the lawless violence that brought about the bloody tragedy, and the entire organization will suf fer in public esteem by reason there o .

Attorney-General Carland has jus.t ren dered a dtcision which ieriiiits the whiskey King to import the liqaur which it recently exported to avoid the collection of the tax. Ten million gallonsof whiskey weree.xport ed to avoid the payment of the taxes d'je; and now, under Mr. Garland'sdecision, this immense amount of wHskey is to he brought back, reiinported, and entered into bond ag:iin for a year without the jiayment of the tax. That this swindle of the people should be brought about through the connivance of the Attorney-Genervl would be passing strange, if the public had :iot already dis covered, by menus of the I'an-Klf ctric scan dal, that his hide is thicker than the hides of twenty rhinoceroses. We have been in clined to defend Mr. Garland from the at tacks that have been made on him. But he is not worthy of defence. We desire to tay here, so that there shall be no mistake about our nieaniDg, that any man who is hand-in-hand with the Whiskey King, as Mr. Gar land seems to be, is unworthy of the confi dence of the people and unworthy the con fidence of an administration that assumes to reoresent the people.

A STRIKER SHOOTS AT A SENTRY. One More Victim r Yesterday's Affray The Corenei's Investigation. St. Loria, April 9. A fearful battle took place in East St Louis this afternoon between a number of Deputy Sheriffs, who had charge of the Louisville &, Nashville crossing, and a crowd of several hundred strikers. The latter, the Deputies say, fired stones at and jeered them, and at latst they jespouded by firing a vollev into the crowd. The fol lowing" were killed : Pat Driscom, Wabash section-hand not a striker, Oscar Washington, a painter not a striker, John Bohman, coal miner, not a striker. The injured are Maj. ilychman, a rolling-mill employe, shot in the head and shoulder and will probably die, Mr?. John Pfeif er, shot in the back itnd mortally wounded. NO COMMAXD GIVEN". The crowd was standing on the Cahokia bridue jeering at the guard when, without apparent provoca tion the latter leveled their Win chesters and fired two volleys. No cammand vvtis given that could be heard among the crowd, which im mediately separated. The men ran iu all directions, and the deputies ran over Cahokia bridge toward the Big bridge approach, . Etill holding their Winchesters and firing to cov er their retreat. When it was known by the strik ers that the guards bad tied the for mer returned to pick up the dead. They found Pat Dnscotn ami Oicar Washington lying on Cahokia bridge. They were dead when found. Jitu. liohman was also fouud on the bridge, but showed signs of lift?. He was taken to The Louisville & Nash ville switch house and died in a few moment?. Mrs. Pfeifer was found lying on the track about 100 yards from Caiiokia bridge, and w::3 car rid by her husband to a drug store on Broadway noa the crossing. He cried to her as he staggered along with her bleeding body in his arms, "don't die," in pitiful accent1". Maj. Ilychman was taken into tue Orceu Tree Hotel, aud a number of physi cians were soon on thescene attend ing to the wounded. CRYING plt RKVENGH. When the crowd was running up the struts away from the shootiug, excited member shouted, "to arms." We will get guns and return the fire." Women and children ran out of the houses atid met them on the streets, weeping and wringing their hand?. After the crowd had return ed to the scene and the excitement had abated, several leading men of the strikers, while standing over the bodits of Washington and Driscom, drew their pif-tols and swore to avenge their deaths, even to the sacrifice of their own lives. The crowd began immediately to pro cure arms. From tiie scene t Cahokia creek the deputies, panic-stricken, rushed fur the bridge with a yiew of escap ing to thin city. At the approach aiiil jut on tiie bridge, on the east side.the f )tir deputies who had dor.w the slux ting, with some six or seven others, were met by Mayor Joyce, City Clerk dnby and a third man, who seized the deputies' guns and endeavored to turn them back. THE DEPUTIES FRENZIED. 0:.e ol the deputies in his terror fired upon the trio, killing a man named Thompson who Blood be tween Jovce and Canity. Some shots were fired by the remaining deputies at the approaching strikers, and all started over the bridge in a dead run. The seene on the bridge was one of wildest confusion and ex citement Coal teamfeters and others with wagons were galloping west ward and shouting to all people to turn back. Men and women on foot were running toward the city and turning back all they met, whiie immediately after came the Depu ties imrsutd by the vanguard of the crowd from East St. Louis. One of the frightened guards threw his pun into the river, whiie .mother hid Ida weapon in the load of a stake-wagon that was in full retreat. An eye witness to the original shooting was in the retreating party. He charac terized the shooting into the crowd as a wanton outrage. The crowd bad been "guying one of the Depu ties when lie lost his temper and fired," he said. Soim after Police Capt lin Hercu les, with a squad of police, took charge of the western end of the bridge and stated that he would ar rest anyone coining into the city. Tiie man killed on the bridge was C. E. Thompson, who raided at 4021 California avenue, St. Louis. His body was taken into the tower and put on a stretcher, and later was brought to his home on this side. THE DEPUTIES ARRESTED. The fou deputies who did the shooting, accoenpaaied by four other.. went to the Thid district police station on their arrivai on this side were met by the Sargeant in charge, to whom they surrended themselves. The police took their rifles from them, regularly searched them and placed them in the hold over. The men were registered as P. G. Hewlett, John Hogue, Sam Jones. Jno. F. Williams, G. Luster, Stewart Martin, Geo. Wornell and W. F. Laird. They said the crowd began firing into them and they re turned the tire. They were armed with Winchester riflts and revolvers. They say that they were guarding a Louisville & Nashville eoaj tram at the Roadwoy crossing when they were assailed by a crowd of about five hundred men who were gather ed there. Stones were thrown at them and they state a couple ot po lice officers beaded the mob. Ihe deputies eay that thev then opened i fire on the crowd and made their es- cape. 1 An eye witness saya : "There was j a crowd ef about COO strikers on tha ! Cahokia bridge and around the Louisville & JNashville- aud St. Louis tracks watching the attempt of both these roads to get out trains. On the trestle works that spans Cahokia Creek stood four deputv RIOT AND BUI sheriffs with Winchester rifles. The crowd had been there all afternoon and were jfteriug the guards and the "scabs." who were doing the switch ing. They did not aeeni disposed to violence of any kind. All at i.nce I heard shots and saw the crow.i run ning in all directions from ihn dep uties who were firing." EAST ST. L0CI3 BCRNING. The strikers gathered again at midnight, as if by preconcerted ac tion, near the Louisville & Nashville depot, and soon aftsr their appear ance the flames were seen to shoot hiiih in the air. The crowd hJ touched the torch tj a King ro v of I freight cars in the Louisvill & Na.h ville yards and in a very few mo ments an extensive conflagration was in nrocress. I ne nre spread ( from the Louisville & Nashville c.irs j to those of the Cairo Short Line. Th fire at 12:30 is still in progress and spreading. The St. Louis fire department has been called on for he!p and tbey have sent engines over. The fire is gaining tremen dous dimentions and promises tt rival the conflagration touched by the strikers in the great railroad Ktrike at Pittsburgh in 1S76. The flames have reach the irnunens round-house of the Cairo Short-Line and are still making a forward march Just now the sky prints a lur.d glare, and from this side t looks as though the whole of Last St. Louis was on fire Seven com-; pames ot militia arrived late to-night and it was their arnval.it is thought that caused the crowd to g j ahead with their nefarious work.

STI11KEK4 TKEtERVE GOOD ORDER AND CALMLY DISCUSS THE T It AH ED Y. Unusual quiet prevails to-day in the Missouri Pacific and Iroii Moun tain Iliilroud yards on this side of the river. The strikeas around the yards are few in number, preserve perfect order, and confine them selves to a calm discussion of yes terday's tragedy in East St. Louis. They all deplore the hasty firing of the deputies, but admit that -the etrikprs were partly at fault. Thf-y say that they will profit by the les son and resort to no violence in any case. The usual number of live freight trains have been sent out to day over both the ronds without in terference. The body of the unknown man who fell into Cahokia Creek wi.en he was 6hot, yesterday, has not been recovered. Inspector-General J. A. Schaeft-r is stopping at the Martelle House and was an eyewitness to the shoot ing. In reply to a. question h. told the following" story ; "I had been on the bridge near where Boner was killed a few seconds before the trouble occurred. I was walking up the track aud was near the Htzl Flour Mills, when I heard a pistol shot, I knew that the report came from a pistol by the sound I am used to the discharge of firearm and can readily t'll tSe difference between a rifle and a pistol shot.

I am positive thif 'ho first shot ws fired from the crowd o;j the bridge near u htre I stood a fe-. moments before." THE WORK OF DESTRUCTION. From a personal survey of the yards this morning in which the in cendiary fires pf last night occurred, the following is a summary nf tho destruction: In the Cairo Short Line yard, two empty boxcars of the Burlington road were burned and one cabt ose car and sis b x cars of the Cairo Short Line ro.id. The property was completely dre troyed, only the trucks remaiuing. The track scales and scale house oi the Cairo road was also burned. In the yards of the Illinois and St. Louis road, near the rolling mills, 14 bos cars, three of which were loaded with .oak bridge ties, and one with coal, ra cQtjijpletely burned. Some further damagu occurred in the Cairo Short Line yards further out, but its exact character has nt yet been learned. It was the evident intention to destroy the car repair hops and round house of the Cairo roaa, and the early presence nf thr troops aloue prvtmted this. Groups of men stood ia the near viciuity of the fire, but made no ef fort ui subside the flames or to save any of the threatened property.
