Eelsy Bicycle Race.
Meversdale wheelmen are endeavoring
to get up a relay nice Is-tw ecu that place

bicycle riders from the former town
placed at intervals of tw o miles each lx
twccii Meyersdale and Berlin, and the
same iiuiuIkt of riders placed lietween
Berlin and Somerset. A message ad
dressed to some party in Somerset w ill be
given to the courier stationed at Meyers
.Ule. He will carry it two miles and
hand it over to the second messenger,
who will turn it over to the third,
and so on until it is delivered
in Somerset. As soon as an answ er can
lie prepared the return trip will lie Is gun.
Kvery effort will l made to cover the
round trip (40 miles) in the least sissible
time. Kvery omrier w ill lie accompanied
by a "jm.-er." w ho will carry the message
in case of an accident to the wheelman

The Philadelphia Snn.hi.V 7";m- in its
issue of June 24th, and ag-iin in its rsue of
July 1st, devoted a page to brief skr-tche
of the veteran editors of Pennsylvania.
Iu the issue of the latter date we find tho
following of the editor of the Hkbalii.
The sketch is accompanied by a very ex
cellent likennsMof Mr. Scull, and follows
under a general Introductory :
The State veteran editor ill the sunset of
life is an interesting picture. He has
lieen a tireless agent in perfecting the
registry of events and d.ieds, and in shap
ing the opinion and jx.licy and ways of
those atxrttt him. To this veteran editor
the unversality of persoiuil acquaintance
is true in every detail and toil has leen
hard and unremitting. To him struct
ures have had the finishing touch of time
and fi.r him lias ls.-eii the privilege to live
in the present that once was the future,
when the spirit of prophecy struggled
w ithin. The editor, as the story mus lie
low in chapters briefly covering his life
time, is the genius who came K-fore the
wonders that revoluiioniatl travel and
tho channels of coinunini.-ition, and
whose pen controlled all isilttics and leg
islation and the affairs of government.
"Kx-Congressinan and F'ditor Kdwartl
Scull has long liei-n a leatler among the
frosty sons of thunder, in tho Somerset
country, and he refers to his life as un
eventful. With the average country edi
tor this Ls always a matter of opinion, aa
he is invariably the busy man in his com
munity w ithout seeming to know it. The
Somerset IIkrai.ii was established in
1KI7, and Mr. Scull has ls-en its editor
since the year lS-Vi
Hewaslsirn in Pittsburg in ISIS and
hod a common school ami academic edu
cation. He was admitted to the lor of
Westmoreland county in 1S44, having
studied law in Grecnshurg, ami, remov
ing to Somerset in isKk he practiced law
until 1X37, wheu he was elected Proth .no
tary and Clerk of the Courts for a term of
three years. On March 4, l't.t, he was
appointed Colic-tor of Internal Ueveime
by President Lincoln, was removed by
President Johnson, Soptomls-r, 1-s.n and
was again apiiiited Assessor by Presi
dent iraiit in April, lsiei. Mr. Scull lio-
came Collector of tho pith Pa. district
Mar.-h 1.S7.J and served in that capacity
until August, lxs.1, when the district was
consolidated with another. Ho was a
delegate t the National Republican Con
vention at Baltimore in lsii4, again at
Cincinnati in lsTil, and at Chicago in lssL
He was elect tsl to tho Fiftieth, Fifty-first
and Fifty -soiMiid Congresses as a Kepub-
li.-an. Surely this is indicative of an
eventful life and very strong evidence, of
energy and thrift.
Mr. Scull has lx-en a busy man. He is
descended in a direct line from Nicholas
Scull, who lauded at Chester, September
10, ltiX3, and lieeanie a member of the col
ony of William Peun. Nicholas came
from Bristol F.n gland, and was a uiemler
of the SH'itty of Friends. His tirand-
fathi-r, John S.-ull, journeyed through
the wilderness from loading to Pitts
burg in 171, ami in July of that year es
tablished the lliz-itr, now the fW.er-einl-',''it--l!r,
which he puhlisJied and
edited until some time in lsx, w hen he
was su.siikI by John I. Scull, tho father
of Kditor Scull, a lawyer, who after an
exKrionce of two years disposed of tho
p:ilH-r.
Mr. Scull read law in the office of the
late I'nited Suites Senator Cowan at
Ureeitsb-.irg, and married a .laughter of
4 Jen. Alexander Ogle in 1S32, establish
ing the Whiij the same year, which in a
few months was mcrgi-d into the Hkr

ho has since continuously edited and
steered in in Hliti- il course. His five

" Why," asks this working miner, "is
n. -t the M, Kin Icy taril! on coal a g.d

there lsin no duty, or Isit a -cent duty.
as the amen. I, si Wilson bill pn.vi.l.-., of
CHirse we should have iinM,rt. d much
more. Now," continues the miner, "the
object of tho strike Ls to raise the price of
coal, and consequently the wug.-s of lalxir,
by a curtailment of the output of Ameri
can mine. So that the 7 cents duty Ls
working distinctly on tho side of the
American workman in oial mines. And,"
says this far-seeing workman, "if a pro
tective duty is g-ssi for those w ho w ork
in coal it is g-xxl fur those w ho work in
iron, woo.!, cotton, tin, wool, or auy
Ameri.au industry. For when wages
are high all of as have plenty to eat, and
all of us wear good clothes, and all w ho
are prudent have money in bank. The
free traders tell us," says this working
miner, "that tariff is a tax, but we well
can afford to pay the tax w hou a pr4et
tive tariff puts more money into our pock
ets than the "tax amounts l-j.
"What is tho use of having cheap
g,ssls," asks this miner, "if we have no
money to buy them with? That is wliat
ails us now. If clothing wero down to

when wages are high w e pay (I or
and never miss the money.

money. And w hat shall w e gain in th
w ay of cheapness ? F'ree -oal w ill cheap
en the cost of shirtings by jm4 one twenty-thousandth
part of one cent -r yard
Assuming that the manufatliirer ,I.k-s
not take a fraction of this increased profit
to himself, assuming that the w holcsalers
and retailers take none of it, assuming
that the consumer gets all the lM-nelit of
it w hy, then, after we have purchased
a,l yards of shirtinj wo shall have
s.ved 1 cent. Wo might also save 5 cents
on a suit of clothes, th-High it is an ex
travagant estimate. But our wages would
lie reduced by one-half if w e w ere luckv
enough to get any w ages,"
This working miner argues in a straight
line, and concludes thus :
" In the few intervening mouths before
the next general election let us discard
party prejudi.v and from a workiugmaii's
standpoint stn-ly tho great question of
tariff, which in the intricate machim-ry
of government scemt to le the balance
w h.vl tluit .-,.1 it nils the industrial affairs
of the country and, under favorable legis
lation, makes it possible for tho Ameri
can laimrer to exchange the "sweat of
bis brow" Hir more of the comforts of life
Hum can the working people of any other
nation on the fa.-c of the glolsj ; and in
the light of the object IesoW present, si
during the past eventful year, give this
iiiqiortaut question that affects the vital
interests of every employe as w ell as em
ployer that careful consideration which
it merits ; and let our answer Im at' the
liallot Isi.x next fall, where it can Iwuiade
more effective for the good of the country
than all the petitions in )(.' "
