4 The Somerset Herald. EDWARD 6CTLL, EJitor and Proprietor. WEDSESDAT- Feb. 2S Ctckoo ! Hancock appears to be as popular the imallpoi. It w&s "corker," "stunner," an all-around cyclone. The Democrat bad a party. Where is that party now ? V haven't heard any talk yet of con testing Grow's seat. V, eree Greevy ? Th result of the "educational cam paign rather discouraging to Professor Wilson and tia corpe of teachers. Ii was a square issue between a pro tective tariff and free trade. There is no mistaking Pennsylvania's Toice. Haxcxxk seems to be fully appreciated at home. His county gave 000 more of a majority for Grow than it did last year for Jackson. The Democratic .Slate Convention en dorsed Cleveland's Hawaiian policy and the tariff de truction act. The peojle's answer is "written in the stars." Now, men and brethren! get "a good ready on" for Xovemter. This free trade Congress baa "sot to go," and Pennsylvania musn't siand by hugging herself over the present victory. finiEMJS G:lke-s has issued a call for the Republican Slate Convention to meet at Harritburg on Tuesday, .Slay when candidates for Governor and other .tate ctT.oers will be nominated. The New York .Vki fcas this to say of the Wilson bill : "Tue Wilson bill, with its internal revenue amendments, consists mainly of a tariff denouucei by the Democratic party as a fraud, and of internal revenue taxes long ago denounced by it as an outrage." A Democratic' compeer says that some of the Senators of its party object to cer tain provisions in the Wilson bill which they think likely to " injuriously alTect industries in their States." It's the votes, dear brother! It's the votes they are afraid of being injuriously auVcted; Not the industries. Theke is now just forty-three cents' worth of silver in a dollar, and yet ail of last week was wasted in the House in an attempt made by the southern and western Democrats to force the coinage of fifty millions more of the stnil. This thing of stamping cents' worth of sil ver as a dollar, is simply a revival of the fool idea of "fiat money." That staunch Democratic journal, the Philadelphia Iticonl. is very hot under the collar because of Grow's majority. It jumps upon its party friends with bcth feet, as follows: The State ha probabiy been carried for Grow by 1 0,XKJ majority. Philadel lhi has eiven a Ilenublican majority of '. ntul Thia in vlndtlrMt dpfAllit. Hilt there is still more striking evidence of Democratic incapacity, ine organiza tion is rotten. It is a corpse that should be buried out of sight as quickly as pos sible, and the chairman of the D-mo-cratic State Committee and the chair man of the Democratic City Committee should act as pall-bearers. The Democratic journals are all busy trying to explain just how it happened, and their reasons are as plentiful as non sensical and laughable; every excuse be ing given except the true one. Among others, the Philadelphia 77 advances the theory that it was lack of pie. Hear it : The fact appears to be that the Temo cratic party in the State is sharing in the ppneral conditions of business through out the world, it is goinii through a peri od of liquidation. It seems aaf to as sume from last Tuesday's returns that it has about got down to ted rock, which is a good place from which to begin to build up again. The judicious distribu tion of post otlices would no doubt pro mote this process wonderfully, and it mint be hoped that the country editors wi!l not lose their courage. The election of Galusha A. Grow was a forgone conclusion. Everybody con ceded it ; nobody doubted it. It was simply a question of majority. The Democratic leaders hoped for, and strug gled to secure, their normal vote, so that they could go to the country with the claim that Pennsylvania Democrats en dorsed the National Administration and its policy. To that end they etrugcled to reduce the phenomenal majority rolled np by the Republicans last No vember, and w ere prepared to claim any rednctien, however small, as proof that public sentiment was changing in their behalf. On the other hand, the Repub licans, assured of victory, were supine, and outside of Philadelphia and Alle gheny, little or no effurt was made to poll the vote. That the result is a sur prise to both parties is unquestionably true. The magnitude of the Republican majority is surprising, and when the sea son of the year and the fact that but one important candidate was to be elected, are considered, the extent cf it is most wonderful. There was a single but well defined issue before the people that between a protective tariff snd free trade, and the result is as decisive as it is crashing to the Democracy. So em phatic, so severe a rebuke was never be fore administered to any political party in Pencsylvania. All over the State, from every couny and city of the Commonwealth, comes the verdict "Weighed in the balance and found wanting." That a free trade candidate should be set up in this State, on a free trade plat form, and a free trade issue courted, giws t prove the besotted condition of the leaders of the Democracy. Pennsylva nia is now, always has been, and, we doubt not, will continue to be, in favor of a tariff that will protect her indus tries. It is but a few yearj since, that the Democratic leaders were clamorously sserting that tbey were as good protec tionists as were the Republicans ; but in their eagerness for spoils they abandoned their home interests and followed tltir Southern taskmasters into the shambles of free trade. They have their reward. Divided, distracted, broken, crashed and repudiated by the people, there is none left to do them honor. They betrayed aud deserted their great leader, Samuel J. Randal!, and applauded when his last laithful follower kroden was made the victim of Cleveland's personal hostility. tep by step they have retrograded from the true faith, and now, the deluge. In the language of Henry Watteraon, they fcave marched through a slaughter iiouM to aa open grave." GROW AS A RECORD BREAKER. But Twelve Counties in the State in the Democratic Column. Official returns from all of the sixty-seven counties in this state send Grow's plurality up to the unprecedented figure of 167,169, gin of S3.02S over the plurality given the Repub lican candidate for State Treasurer last fall, whose vote it was expected then would stand as the u high water mark" of Repub licanism in Pennsylvania for a long time to come. The people of Pennrylvania Tuesday in dicated their opposition to Clevelandism and the removal of protection to American industries in no uncertain manner. Strong holds of Democracy were shaken and coun ties which hitherto have always been found in the democratic column shifted to the Re publican aide. In Mr. Grow's old Congressional district the Democrats were complete! snowed an der. Susquehanna Rave 2AK) pluraliiy ; Wayne, ToO; Bradford, oooO, and Lacka wanna, 50:20. In November, li'JX there were twenty -six counties which gave Democratic majorities aggregating S:5S9. On Tuesday only twelve counties gave Democratic majorities, aggre gating but fC?52. Tbe following Democratic counties are in the Republican column : Aiams, l'ucks. Cambria, Carbon, Clearfield, Clinton, Eik, Fayette, Fulton, Janiatta, Lu zerne, Montgomery, Northumberland and Schuylkill. Oaly three Democratic coun ties give Hancock over IwjO majority, and in two cases there is les than I'M. The news of the remit of the election in Pennsylvania was received with freat re joicing by Republican members of Congress from all parts of tbe country and with cor- rsponding dismay by Democratic members. A'reaJy there is talk to the effect that the rejult may seriously modify the tariff pro gramme in tbe Senate. "It's the beginning of the destruction of the madmen," drawled Tjm Rted. Even Democrats now concede that the next House of Representatives will overwhelmingly Republican. Dozens of Democratic members of the House have vis ited tbe Senate vVing of tbe Capitol and ini p'ored the Democratic leaders there to radi cil!y change the Wilson bill, frankly de claring that unless this be done their dis tricts wi'l become Republican. Many of them echo the statement of Representative Geary, of California t Democrat), who said: "I am more than ever glad that I voted against the WiKm bill, and I kuow of other Democrats who now wish they had.''

Tbe Billion-Dollar Congress sinks into insignificance in comparison with the Fifty-third Congress, for the people got some return for their money under that reign, while under the present one all is a dead loss, and the worst of it all is that the re formers do not seem to be fairly warmed up to their work as yet. Death In Student's Fun. Ithaca, X. Y., Feb. 'IX la the name of "college fan," Cornell Sphomores last night perpetrated a fatal outrage, aimed at their traditional foe, the Freshmen. Concealed in a room on the Cur below the hall where the Freshmen were banqueting the recklea upper-class men poured through hole bored in the floor a flood of deadly chlorine gas, prepared in a jog by means of cheinicils. The sickening fumes prostrated a'.i in the kitchen above. Mrs. Mary Jackson, a color ed cook, was taken out of the -building oiily to die ten mirut.s later. Her daught er was rescued ust in time, but is herself in a serious condition. A trio of atadents guards, posted in the room, willed under the effects of tbe gas. and had to be taken out bodi y. They still lie critically ill. Policeman a Poor Shot. Hrirnsonox, Ta., Feb. 24. A hatred of long standing caused a tragic occurrence hereto night, and Policeman David Keith is in jail, minus his bi,r-. Enmity bas existed between Keith and Cyrus Brs for several months. This week Beers brought an action against Keith, cha-g:ng the latter with alienating the affections of Mrs. Bers. The case was. however, dismissed. To night on meeting Beers at the Tuion Depot the policeman pulled two revolvers, and, wi'h one in each hand and at three-feet range, fired three shots at Beers. The bullets went wide of their mark. Keith was arrested, and. after being relieved of his bage, was placed inj.til. A Mother-ln-Law'a Crave. Scsakto, Pa., Feb. 24. It is everv mar- ried man's duty to dig his mother in-law s grave, acoordina to a decision eiren ta dv by a local Justice of the Peace. William Stein brought suit to recover (5 for digging bis mother in law's t rave. The attorney (or tbe defense said the plaintiff could not recover, for every man ought to perform that servic for his mother in law. The Justice took a similar view of the ca and refused to award the coveted $3 to Mr. Stein. Ought to be in Every Family. PtTTsEt aoH, Pa., Feb. 27lb. One of the most successful newspaper departures ever undertaken in this city was the changing of tbe Pittsburgh HVri.' Putt to a Semi H'erry without any increase in price. The astonishing popularity of tbe move ment is attested by the rapidity with which subscribers are rolling in. And it is no wonder. A great paper likt the PuM twice a week fur one dollar a year is one of the mar vels of modern newspaper enterprise. It 0ttt ta be in yery family. Religious Fanaticism. From the CoonellsviUe Courier. The farmers of German township have re cently been treated to queer religions doc trines expounded by two Second Adveotist preachers named Raum and Parker. These apostles of this tlrance creed have conduct ed meetings at the Progressive or Union Church at Middle run for two months. Raum was raised in Get man township and went West when be was 16 years old. He became an advocate of tbe Arentist ideas, and in company with Parker came back to bis old borne to arouse his former friends. They preach rather strange doctrines. They have suhtitctl Saturday for Sunday, and under tbeir leadership some of the farmers have quit doing any kind of work on Satur day, spending the day in church and per forming their usual week day chorea on Sunday. The preachers, it is asserted, claim the ability to perform miracles, heal the sick, make the blind see and the lame to walk, but so far have had no subjects to practice on. They teach that the Day of Judgment is about due and that when Christ comes the wicked will be punished for seven minutes and then swiftly and totally annihilated. Tbe same time they claim 141,000 elect per sons will go direct to heaven without tasting death, and of these 40,-iuO will be Advent ista. The preachers, it is. said, claim to be in communication with God, and occasion ally announce a new batch of revelations that sets the community on fire. One of their converts last week prepared to build a lime kiln, but abandoned it upon Raum's declaration that it was useless, as it would not be finished before the grand end ofail things came. One of tbe strangest things connected with this fanaticism is tbe appearance of an alleg ed ghost in a vacant houe. The preachers turned this to good account by declaring it to be the presence of the Almighty, who thus testified to the favor they have found in his sight Even this wild claim happened to find believers, owing to the advent of the preachers and the ghost at the same time. This delusive claim was exploded last week by the discovery that the alleged ghost was one of Raum and Parker's converts who bad taken up his abode in the old house. The discovery turned on the lights and the conservative people of that section at once saw the delusion being practiced by the Second Adrentists. The people composing the Progressive eChurc'n at Middle Run, where Raum and Parker have been holding tbeir meetings, took the bull by the horns. Friday, and closed tbe church against the preachers of the disturbing creed. Tnetwo preachers were not discouraged, however, and adjourned their meetings to tbe haunt ed bouse and have been holding out there. Hicks on March Weather. In the current issue of Ward and Worki Rev. Irl R. Hicks makes these prognostica tions on March weather. We begin with a repetition of our warnings of a hard and stormy March. About the 3d, tbe beginning of a storm period will show itself in westerly regions, by a falling barometer and rising temperature. The winds will shift to south erly the themometer will continue to rise and the barometer to fall until both extremes are reached, and nntil general and violent storms develope and start on their eastward career. Tbe first storm period would end. under normal conditions, about the Tth. but the new moon falling on that date, and the combined disturbing powers of Mars, Earth and Yen us being so near tbe crisis, a series of hard and dangerous storms will most likely center about the Tib, with continued storminess past the reactionary disturbances, central on (be 8th and 9th. During all these disturbances there will be violent con flicts between the tropical and polar storms, with heavy rains and strong probabilities of tornadoes in many places especially south ward, and turning to blizzards and snow blockades in more northerly regions. Sad den and extreme cold m'ist be expected and preparations made for it in tbe rear of these storms, or surprise and suffering are sure to result. On and touching March 11th is tbe annual crisis for magnetism and electrical perturbations. The 14th is the center of the next regular period. A day or two previous to that date indications in westerly parts of the con tinent will plainly show that energetic storms are brewing. Watch the temj-e ra ta re, the weather reports, your own barom eter and the clouds. During 13th to 17th, the storms will reach their crisis and make their sweep from tbe western to tbe eastern extremes of our continent. At the close of storms, each section in its turn will be struck by a polar wave of great severity, for tbe season. Centering on the 20lh, 21st and M, we have tbe full moon with partial, eclipse of same, the equinoctial centers of Mercury, Earth, Venus, Vulcan's reactionary dis tnrbances, and the direct pressure of the Mars equinox which is centra! on February 2tth. He who will carefully read our chapter on "Foundation Facts" in our al manac, will nnderstand our reasons for admonishing the public of great probable danger at this time on land and sea. Unless this unusual eenteringof so many disturbing forces, right at tbe Vernal equinox, shall have neutralizing, balancing effects that we do not foresee or nnderstand, much violent phenomena is sure to result. Expect cy clonic storms of great extent, resulting in torcadic features along the southern tan gents, and blizzards to the north, ail to be followed by a general cold wave that will be felt to the coasts of Florida. Earthquake pertrubations, and volcanic eruptions, will be natural, but not necessarily dangerous or fatal. Tbe last storm period for March will run fioro 2-uh to 2Gib, inclusive, and the storms of the period will show the same characteristics as those of earlier periods of the month. Where March storms culminate in very high temperature, heavy bail with thunder and lightning may be looked for. The month will close cold and fair general An Unseen Enemy. Is more to bo dreaded than an open and visible one. That subtile and lurking foe, which under the generic name of malaria manifests itself, when it clutches us in its tenacious gra.p, in the various forms of chills and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague or ague cake, can only be effectually guarded against by fortifying the system against its ii.sijious attacks with Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters, a thorough antidote to the poison of miasma in the system; and a safeguard against it thoroughly to be relied upon. In the event of a malarious attack avoid poisoning your system with quinine. and use instead this wholesome remedy unobjectionable in taste and far more effica cious than any drug. Use the Bitters for dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, kidney complaints and rheumatism. Cot $1150 For a Wounded Heart Cablislc, Ps., Feb. 23. Besides losings bride, Farmer James Jackson is out $1150 The jury to-day awarded that amount of damages to Miss Margarer Lay, the Perry County young lady whom Jackson courted lor ten years and then failed to marry. He is CO and she is 27. Assemblymen Stat Officers. It Las been decided by the Attorney General, in an opinion handed the Sec retary of the Commonwealth, that cer tificates of nomination and nomination papers for members of the state Iiooae of Representatives must be filed in the State Department In the parent act of 1S1 it was expressly stipalated that such papers should be filed at the State Department, but in the new act of 1S93 there is no specific mention of the office, except that the term "all State offices" is used. The Attorney General decides that membership in the House is a State office, and any papers relating to the nomination for such office most be filed in the SUte Department Those who contemplate being candidates should bear this in mind. It is a simole matter. yet if wrongly construed might lead to trouble. FEBRUARY ELECTION. Official List cf the Newly Elected Borough and Township Officers.
