From this tiaie on let every one do his
utmost for Harrison and Iieid, and the
Republican state and county tickets.
Senator Jons A. Lemon" has been re
nominated in the Blair-Cainbria district
and will, of course, be elected by a large
majority.
The Democratic candidate for Govern
or of Georgia is a Northern carjt bag
ger. I'oorold Democracy, it is Lard up
almost everywhere.
G. C. at Gray Gables has either heard
taethinjdrop or the fish have been
biting well. There has not been a letter
published now for 6ix days signed
' Yours truly, irover Cleveland."
Senator Hii.i. did not call on Grover
Cleveland, but the Eastern free-trade
journals are very mad over the report
that "Senator Hill made a pleasant social
rail on Governor William McKinley"
bile at the sea shore.
Wake Hamiton says: "The alliance
as a party has been wijied out in the
South." Certain! v. There is not a St ,te
in the South that wou! J count a majority
for the alliance ticket it matters not how
many vote it secured.
Governor Mt Kinley will be in Ver
mont this week an 1 then go to Haine.
McKinley is the kind of educator the
Democratic leaders do not like. He
wakes votes that stand Dy convictions.
The votes which Democrats boy ill not
stay bought. The odds are in favor of
McKinley methods.
An Alderman, of Chester, Ta., who was
called upon to decide a case where a man
threw his sister-in-law out of tiie house,
realized thoroughly thegreat importance
f his duty as a magistrate, for he open
ed court with a prayer, in w hich lie ask
ed that the w isdom of Solomon might be
giyen him, that he could judge impar
tially. While Mr. Dana in the East is shout
ing, "The f.in-e bill is the only issue," his
co-worker, Colonel atterson, out West
enlarges the field. He says: "Down
with the thieving duties at the custom
houses; down with the swindling reci
procity treaties ; down with the cant
about the wage earners ; down with the
fraud that taxes make wealth; down
with the fallacies of protection, and up
w ith the ftarry, flag of the Union, Free
Trade and Sailors' Rights!"
An exchange says : "The People's par
ty wi'l at once put 100 speakers in the
field in Kansas." Cut it is of no use.
The corn is too high and the bins are too
full of w heat. When the "drought," ti e
' cut worm," and "the grass hop; er" fail
in Kansas to get in their work calamity
orators have to join "the mourners who
go about the streets." Kansas is one of
the flourishing and prosperous States of
the I'nion, and it will vote for the party
that made it such.
The pestiferous ;En!oe, of Tennessee,
and the Ikmocratic committee w ill prob
ably circulate, throughout the campaign,
the charges cooked up by that gentle
man against the administration of the
pension otlice by Gen. Green B. Rauru.
Yet the Democratic House, for very
shame, declined to take any action what
ever oa Enloes report of Lis bulldozing
investigation, knowing that the persons
inosi compromised by that report were
Democratic Congressmen.
When Grover Cleveland wrote "The
Democratic party is not a destructive
party," he should have added the word
"now" in big letters. It is in the memo
ry of a multitude of living witnesses that
the Democratic was "a destructive par
ty." It was willing to destroy the Union,
trail the Cag in the dirt, and "let the
wayward sisters go in peace," Erery
State that is t.-Jay solid for the Demo
cratic ticket excepting possibly three
labored in the work of destruction.
l.CuAiEUAX Il.untirv will not resign Lis
o ffi?e as Secretary of the State of Penn
sylvania, while running Mr. Cleveland's
campaign. Chairman Harrity holds the
bet t-aytng State o!liee in Pennsylvania
w ith one exception, and is besides presi
dent of the Equitable Trust Company of
J niladelphuu Senator lay, who once
ouic uuht, retignea it iielore
undertaking the management of another
campaign. Chairman Carter promptly
rtisignea nisomce or Commissioner of
the Laud Otlice upon accepting the chair
manship of the National Republican
Committee, Joseph II. Manley, of Me.,
resigned the post mastership at Augusta,
Me, before even accepting a position for
the campaign on the National Executive
Committee.
Tuk attention of every Republican Tote-
in the County is calied to the circular
letter of General Roeder, Chairman of the
"Republican State Committee," which
will be found in another column of this
paper. The necessity of registration is
important, and eveiy voter w ho does not
personally see that Lis name is on the
reigstry list has his right to To'e.. endangered.
The appalling number of votars in this
district who were not properly registered
in IS O, and where ballots were after
wards challenged for irreg uiarity, should
impress upon voters and election officers
the necessity of a strict and literal com
pliance with the law. Read carefully
the instructions of the State Chairman
and at once make personal application
to the Assessor to have your name added
to his li!, if it is not already there.
The regif-tration of voteis in Mississip
pi under the new constitution shows but
70,742 voters instead of 2-r7,lt5, which ifl
the number of males over 21 years of
age. This reduction has been accom
plished by excluding the neT3 voters.
Rut Misriiipi is still claiming seven
members of Congress and nine electoral
votes. The State is by its voting popula
tion entitled to two members of Congress
and four electoral votes, and that ques
tion should be raised when the seven
Congremen appear in Washington and
,i cWfrs trv to cast their votes
for the Democratic candidate for Presi
dent The men who framed that new
constitution in Mississippi said they were
willing to reduce their representation m
Coccress to get rid of the negro vote.
They should be compelled to do so, and
Lave but two seats in the next congress
of the United States.
The Real Cause.
From the Ham-burg Telegrai-h.
There is a growing disposition among the
IVmocratic politicians to criticise Chairman
Harrity' management of their party a'T.i:rs.
There has been sc me correspondence on the
subject with the New York leaders, whiih
makes it look as if Harrity were to be made
the scapepoat of the Democratic collapse.
They claim that the only management
the chairman has shown so far is to manage
to get around from place to place without
accomplishing anything.
It is not Chairman Harrity 's fault that
the Iemocratic outlook is so discouraging
and yet there are many, especially in the
West, who are clamoring through cor
respondence for his removal from the thair
luansLip. The publication by General Springer of
a book on "Tariff Reform the Paramount
Issue," which he is circulating very gen
erously among his friends, is just the kind
of a volume to convince any thinking
American of the nonsense of tariff reform
and the economic suicide of free trade. It
makes a fine Republican campaign book,
and is much more responsible for the
paralyzed condition of the Democracy than
anything Harrity has or has not done. It is
the current history of the party on free trade
that is making the election of Harrison a
certainty and Harrity's work useless.
$50,000 Eaten by Rats.
From the pnuxrauwney Fi-irit.
Daniel McSweeney, chief of the United
States secret service for New York and Penn
sylvania, has been in Ringgold township
and Ticinity for the past week working up
what he says is the rankest fraud ever at
tempted to be perpetrate! u(on the govern
ment. The story as reported to the Sjiirti
is to the e fleet that several weeks ago a let
ter was received at the United States Treas
ury Ieiartment containing a large number
of small pieces of bills of denominations
ranging from to i!..n0. The pieces
sent invariably indicated the value of the
bill of which they had been a part, and ac
cording to these the scraps sent in represent
ed over $17.i, the mutilated remains of
oyer $," in greenbacks.
Aficomiianvimr this iarpe collection of
small bits of paper money was an alhdavil
signed by Daniel F. Harrison, of Ringgold
township, setting forth the circumstances of
the accident, and asking the United States
Treasury to redeem them in new currency.
The affidavit set forth that he, Mr. Harrison,
bad $.V),'ju in greenbacks and that as he
considered the banks in these parts to be a
little shaky, and there were some bad peo
ple in the neighborhood, he concluded that
the safest thing for him to do was to hide
his money. Accordingly, about the 6th of
November, IS:i, he took it to the oats box
in the second Jloor of the spring house,
made a hole in she oats, put the money in,
covered it up and left it there. About the
middle of April, l'.2, be weut to look at his
money to see if it was all right, when, to his
horror and dismay, the rats had gnawed it
into little bits. He gathered therefrom all
the pieces he could find that would give any
clue to the denomination of the bills and
sent them in for redemption.
When the treasury eiperts came to exam
ine it they became suspicious. They thought
the money did not look as though the rats
had eaten it, and even went so far as to
doubt Mr. Harrison's aflidavit. Chief Mc
Sweeney, of the United States secret service,
was sent out here to look the inath-r up.
He went to Ringgold, found Mr. Harrison
and told him his business. Mr. Harrison
was, of course, indignant at this apparent
want of faith in his veracity, and told the
detective so. But he was persistent and in
sisted upon knowing ail about Mr. Harris
on's business. He asked him what year he
came to this country and how much money
he had made each year up to the present
time. To all of which Mr. Harrison msde
aiidaviL, But as it amounted iu all to only
about $,', the detective was still in doubt
about how Mr. Harrison happened to have
$.), w and where he got it.
Mr. Harrison insists that he had the mon
ey and does not seem to think it is anybody s
articular business where he got it, as long
as it was honestly acquired. Mr. Harru-un,
although looked upon as somewhat of a
Colonel Sellers, being very fertile in schemes
to make millions, occasionall makes a tin
strike iu a financial way, and during the
past year made a profitable real estate deal
out in Seattle, Wash.
Detective McSweeney has returned to
headquarters where he will submit his re
ort, and if it does not appear to the Treas
ury Iepartment to be all straight and right
the mutilated currency will not be redeem
ed, but the detective wiil return with the
warrant for the arrest of Harrison on a
charge of attempting t-. defraud the govern
ment. The detective's theory is that the little
renr.ianta of greenbacks, not !a-ge enough to
dt-stroy the bills, had Ix-en torn from the
comtrs and sides at odd times and saved up
with this purpose in view. But the detect
ive may be ail wrong. If Mr. Harrison real
ly did lose $-V,Oou he has our sincere sym
pathy, and we hope he may get !7,ni if
justly entitled to it.
Tariff and Price.
The fjllowing extract from Pre.-idt-nt
Cleveland noted tariff-f ir-revenue-only
message of ISsT reads like very primitive po
litical eonomj in this day :
" These tArilT laws, in theix logical and
plain ttlect, rai-e the pr.ee to consumers of
ail articles imported and sutjfct to du!y. by
pret istiy the sum paid for such duties. Thus
the amount of the duty measures the ui
paid by those who purchase for use these
imported articles. Munv of these thiniM
however, are raised or manufactured in our
own country, and the duties now levi d up
on foreign goods and products are called
protection to these home manufactures, be
cause they render it possible for those of our
leop:e who are manufacturers to make
these taxed articles and sell them at a price
equal to that demanded for the imported
goods that have paid customs duty. So it
happens that whiie comparatively few Use
the imported articles, millions of our peo
ple, who never used and never saw any of
tiie forelpn products, purchase aud Ufo
things of the same kiud made in this conn
try, and pay therefor nearly cr quite the
same enhance! prie which the duty adds to
the imported articles."
After all the threshing over and discus
sion of the tariff questions before the people
since that message was sent In, the public
understand thoroughly t wo principles of po
litical economy which are wholly ienored
by President Cleveland or, more properly
eaking, are contradicted. The first is that
where there is home competition in aa arti-
e'e the foreign producer of that article pays
a whole or a part of the tariS in order to en
ter the market The second is that home
ujiupciiuou in me manuiacture or nearly
all protected articles has brought the price
down in rjfar.y cases to a price lower than
the dity upon it alone, and in wine cases to
as low a point as the foreign manufactured
article. There is an endless series of exam
ples in tli is in nearly every manufactured
article on which a tarifT is levied. Every
newspaper reader can recall examples from
his own reading.
President llevdlaod never reiterated and
never defended this remarkable statement,
which ippred in his tariff message. Pre
sumably he grew ashamed of it.
Free Trade Fallacy.
Detroit, Aug. 25. More than M.00O per
sons assembled to-day on the grouaiti of the
Detroit International Fair and Exposition
Company, it being ' political day," and there
being present prominent seakers of the dif
ferent parties, w ho made addresses of some
length in favor of their respective political
beliefs. The speaking lie.ran at 1 o'clock.
Ex-Conressu:an Dunnell, of Minnesota, rep
resented the lU-puhlican party, and was well
received by those present. Colonel Norton,
of Georgia, ruade a strong speech in favor of
the People's party crusade, aud was follow
ed by Congressman William M. Springer,
from Illinois, who received a flattering re
ception when he arose to speak on behalf
of Democratic tenets. He discussed nation
al politics, dwelling particularly upon the
tarifT question. Mr. Springer, having made
a brief introductory statement, proceeded to
discuss national iolitics, and especially the
tariff.
Death on a Rag Pile.
Usiosrowx, Aug. i5.--William Crago. a
blind soldier living neai Carmichael, Greene
county, was robbed Tuesday night by un
known thieves. The burglars entered the

he had any more money. Mr. Crago has
been getting a pension of -r2 per month for
the past uine years. She burglars summed
it up and made hiiu explain what he had
done with it. The crime is charged against
the Cooleys.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Quay's Hopeful Views.
Senator Quay was at Washington Thurs
day on his way to Florida, where he intends
engaging in his favorite health-giving past
titue of tar on fishing. ' He pmpewes to re
turn north before the election, and is confi
dent of President Harrison's success. He
says:
"Regarding the invention of the enemy to
the eileet that certain Republican political
leaders do not intend to work for the lrty
ticket, I have only to say that they are in my
opinion as diaphanous as such stories usu
ally are.
"Personal feelings never figure in a Presi
dential contest. The questions involved are
not personal. Republicans are Republicans
for the sake of their party's principles. If
the party's National Convention decided
upou a ticket it is the duty of every Repub
lican to support thai ticket. The call of
duty in this particular instance is always
heeded. First, because Republicans are es
sentially loyal, and second, because it is no
more than common sense to acquiesce in
the party convention's decision.
'"From ail I can gather Republican con
fidence iu the result in New York state is re
markable. There appears to be working a
slow and complete change in the political
situation in that state. There seems to be
no doubt that the Democratic Presidential
candidate is not as strong as he was sijc
weeks ago. Reports received at Republican
national headquarters are very gratifying.
These reports are not the mere opinions of
emhusiasts but are the result of a careful
survey of the respective communities from
which the reports emanate.
"The Republican managers are blessed
with common sense. They want to know
the exact condition of affairs. They are not
rainbow chasers, bet keen! politicians, who
appreciate the necessity of knowing the
truth, and who will not be deluded by mere
surface indications. As for the south, or at
least portions of it, roseate views of the
southern Democrats cannot change the real
situation, which in several states look de
cldedly blue for Democratic success."
i 100,000 Boys In Blue.
The twenty-sixth National Encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic, which
will be held in Washington, oa Wednesday,
September 21, will probably be attended by
by lnO.uu) men who participated in the War
of the Rebellion, and Pennsylvania will be
represented by not less than tio0 men who
wore the blue. The encampment proper,
which will be held in Albaugh's Ojtra
House, is but a small part of the reunion of
old veterans.
The great parade to be held on Tuesday,
September 2", will probably be the grandest
demonstration that has been made at the
Capital since the review of troops at the
close of the war. The line will march on
Pennsylvania avenue from the Opilol
grounds to Washington Circle, a distance of
two miles, moving in double column. The
streets of Washington, being paved with as
phalt, atford a smooth surface for marching
and oa this account it is eijected that the
parade will be larger than usual.
Among the aids oa the staff of Command
er in-Chief John Palmer, of New York, are
the following from Pennsylvania: L. A.
Canter, E. S. France, A. C. X. Halbach, IV.
II. Hunt, Thomas Kelley, George W. Kerns,
James E. Mcl.ane, R. S. Savage.

Burled Sitting in a Chair.
Centerville, la., Aug. 27. Ilezckiah II.
Shepherd, the esteemed bnt ecceutric old
gentleman who lived at Drakeville, has had
his wishes carried out by being buried in a
coffin in the shape of a chair. For the past
15 years Mr. Shepherd had been unable to
rest except by sitting in an easy chair, and
iu that position he proposed to die.
His friends endeavored to dissuade him
from his eccentric notion, but he ordered a
cabinet-maker to construct the curious cask
et, which was finished before his death. It
was substantially built of white oak with
walnut trimmings. lie left instructions to
have his body placed in this casket in a sit
ting posture, the wrist strapjied to the arm
of the casket, the limbs to its legs and the
head and neck to the back. A glass panel
was placed iu front to expose the face of the
dead man. All these instructions were car
ried out, and the coffin placed in a huge lox
in aa upright position.
The chair-coffin was kept on exhihitton
in the room of the deceased for six weeks
previous to bis dratb, and he took especial
satisfaction in displaying it to his friends.
He was iiO years of age, was a wealthy farm
er, and was loved and honored by all Davis
county. He is probably the only man who
will be sitting up when Gabriel blows Lis
tru nipet.
A Courageous Farmer.
PirTsBi E.iii, Ang. 27. Aa attempt w.-s
made to wre k the eajlbjund Chicago and
Xew York Limited express on the Pennsyl
vania railroad near Enon, Pennsylvania,
this morning. Several ties and pieces of
iron were found tied to the track by a farm

engaged in doing so he was shot twice, one
bullet entering hU hip and the other lodg
ing iu the calf of the leg. He succeeded,
however, in clearing the track and the train
passed in safety. The purpose of the dast
ardly plan must have to rob the passengers
and mail cars ia tha excitement following
the wrecking of the train. Had the wreck

have been very great.
Death Rules Hamburg.
IIampi k-i. Aae. 23. The number of fresh
cases of cholera on Saturday was 4'?.i; the
number of deaths 107. Incomplete returns
for the day show that there are at fewest 5o0
fresh cases. The number of deaths has not
yet been ascertained. The mortality from
cholera has raised the number of funerals
daily from an average of ?." to S2).
The city is not yet panic stricken, hat the
presence of the plague is apturent every
where. The streets today have been
deserted for the first time since the disease
became prevalent.
Dissatisfaction with the measures adontrd
by the sanitary authorities and with thtir
policy of trying to hold back the worst news
is largely responsible tor the growing unrest
w nicn may culminate almost at any hour in
panic. The sale of fruit in the citv has
become a dead branch of trade. Dealers
who handle Southern fruits find their nock i
practically a total loss.
The funerals, which take place constantly
are conducted without the usual ostentation!
Not nure than two or three earrhun-i follow
a btarse and in many cases the body is taken
to the grave without a friend or relative to
accompuiy it The services are limited to a
prayer or at least a prayer and hymn. This
simplicity of ceremony is the result of the
repeated warnings of the sanitary authorie
aud private physicians.

lrMtd apjUiciition of anyone claiming the
right to vote."
Under this provision of the law, the roT
rniiM uinLe ixTMtal apJictilitm to the assessor
to have his name added to the list of voters.
The assessors wiil be present at the election
house of each district on Wednesday. Sept.
7. aud Thursday, Sept. Sth, between the
hours of 3 o'clock and o' o'clock P. Si., on
each of sid days, for the purpose of bearing
and acting upon applications for A wttiiieiU
and lirgi'trf.
'A. No person shall be permitted to vote at
the election, whose name is not in said list,
unless he shall make proof of his right to
vote as heretofore required by law.
4. la view of the difficulties that will arise
nnder the new Ballot Law from want of
knowledge on the part of the voter, you will
readily understand the importance of hav
ing the voter's name upon the list, so that
he may have as little trouble as possible in
castini; his ballot.
;". Therefore, see that every Republican
voter is registered.
0. Full instructions to Voters and Elec
tion ouieers wiil be issued by this Commit
tee, with a form of Ballot, within the next
few days.
7. Make some arrangements to inform the
Voters and all the Vigilants fully as to the
provisions of the new Ballot law, so that
they may not lose their vote through want
of knowledge.
Very respectfully yours,
Fka.nk. Kkehek,
Chairman.

A Former Somerset County Lady
Visits Illinois.
Massfield, O., Aug. 20, 12.
T the FAit tr of ihe lUrM :
I have just returned from an extended vis
it to d:lh rent parts of the great State of Illi
nois and met quite a number of Somerset
Co. people, and some being subscribers to
the HebaLu, n quested me to write at least
one letter, and having promised, will with
your permission to print the same, proceed
to write that which may interest a few and
induce some more of the good old Somerset
county people to go to that grand State, Illi
nois. Dixon, Lee Co., III., is destined to be
come a manufacturing city, as the boom
has already commenced. There are two
shoe factories owned and operated by Chi
cago firms; the distance is ninety -eight
miles norta-west ot Chicago. lucre are
three more firms to commence oeraliou by
the first of November. A Canton, O., Steel
Pnmp plant, a West Yirgiuia plow works
and a knitting factory, which will furnish
work for many more people. The Rock riv
er furnishes water power which, by the way.
contains fine fish.
I visited the family of Mr. Henry
Schmm ker, who has one of the finest and
best cultivated farms that I had the pleasure
to see. He is a gentleman of .leisure. Two
miles further south lives the Widow Young,
also of Somerset county. She owtis
and cultivates a l.ire farm, with the assist
ance of her noble son William. I also vis
ited one of my numerous cousins, Mr. Eiij i
Walker, who has lived in the State for thir
ty yenrs and has accumulated a compttancy
which ensbltd him to retire from farming.
If it were not for his poor health he would
er.joy his wealth, with his good wife, who,
by tl e wsy, is one of the best women I met
in all my travels. I also met Samuel Kurtz
and wife, and a Mr. Cupp and wife. They
are all doing well financially. I visited my
cousin, Mrs. Kate Rhodes, who lives in Ogle
county. She and her husband are well fix
ed if one can judge from the surroundings.
I found all those I visited with one excep
tion expressing their intention to vote for
Harrison. Better land does not exist out of
doors ; corn is late but will be a half crop ;
no fruit ; farm help is scarce; girls to do
house work get $4 i at week and scarce at
that ; all Peunsylvania girls marry soon af
ter getting to the West. I must close for
this time. Rcsjiectfully,
T. A. L.
Frleaens Items.
Come to the reunion to hear good music.
It wiil be famished by the choir of the first
Lutheran Church of Johnstown and the
Mineral City Cornet Band.
Chas. Hendricks, of Stoyestown, is busy
at work on the new church at this place.
Mrs. Helvey and Miss Emma Stahl, of
Hamilton, O., are visiting their parents, Mr.
Herman Stahl, of this pi ice.
Cjuite a number of our friends of this place
went to Horner's to picnic and all report a
good time. The people of that place deserve
praise for the amount of work they did on
their ground, and from its appearance they
must expect to have picnics in the future.
The Noel family of Hooversville, Pa., gave
an entertainment at this place on Friday
evening which was a treat for our people, as
we have many lovers of fine music. The
daughter of said family certainly has a fine
voice. If you have a chance to hear this
family do not miss it
Miss Rosie Appel, of Meyersdale, is vis
iting at this place.
A few couples from here were at a
picnic Saturday. Their horses became
frightened at a cow and one of the ladies
fainted and had to call on the doctor. Bob,
take the camphor bottle along next time!
Messrs. Herman Shaffer and Millar Beal
are treating their houses to a nice
coat of paint which adds greatly to the ap
pearance of their properties.
Corn and buckwheat promise to be a very
good crop; potatoes only about half a crop.

Jacob Hanson, a prosperous and reputable
farmer near here, has bad a pet fox which
exhibited an abnormal fondness for Ermst
a baby;i4 months old. Tuesday the fox and
the baby disappeared, and searching partus
looked in vain for the missing pair nntil
Wednesday evening, when the fox and
baby were found in a cave, a quarter of a
mile from the bouse. The child was weak
but unharmed. The fox objected to baby's
removal.
