Tltt Somerset Herald. EDWARD SCtXi. Editor mid Proprietor. WEDXESO.VY. June 12, ISC ZdmcnuO. Ho, ex-rnitwl States Senator from Kansas, wltnxr vok waved Andrew Johnson from Imjx'aohii.ieiit, in now a jl priuU-r in Albuquerque, N. M. The bill to retire MiDeranuated judge on a pension, was slaughtered in the House on Friday last I-afk of funds and aveMMiene to creating a civil nsioi list did the Imisiim-ss. The President has appointed Attor ney .'neral Olncy, Secretary of State, to fill the vacancy occasioned l.y the death of JudsreOresliani, and has ap- Jik)siii Harmon, of ....... - . Cincinnati, Attorney Ociural, vice !i:ey. Juuge Harmon is uuknown jwliticully outside of Ohio, but is reported to lie a lawyer of ability. The New York Journal adopt (iov crnor McKinlev's saying that politic is business, and adds that when we l-.ave uleiitv of politic we know that f,f people are attending to their busi ness. This rear and next tlie ieopie will lie verv attentive to business, as tley rememlnv what the Dciiwratk administration has cost and is costing lllCIIL. The proposed new revenue bill, over the construction of which so much lime and discussion was expended. came to grief in tbe expiring hours of the Legislature. It had passed the 1 louse and then passed the Sscuate on first and fecond reading, and then was fmallv knocked out The principal .J.Wli..ii to it was the doubt of iU ability to raise as much revenue for the Jtate as do the present law. A Kansas Democratic postmaster has writteu to Postmaster ('.ciierul il noli: "If vou do not like my report vou can go U hades." That postmaster ln-lieve in Jcfl'ersoniau simplicity an.! Jacksoniau directness, but Mr. Wilson was so much shocked by the letter that he has ordered the Katisa jiostmaster lroseeuted for sending olisueiie matter through the mails. iemocraw u have to lie cartful about using postal -ards while Mr. Wilson is at the head of the department The estimates for the (Jcrmaii army for this venrhiehldeHU appropriation of lmi,XK marks to supply the army with bicycles. Two wheels are to lie atUu-a -d to eaeli U-tttallion, and wheelmen ure to take the place of cavalrymen for iiiieliigeiitr duty and mounted order lies. It has liecn demonstrated that a liicvcle rider can cover double the dis- tauce covered by a cavalryman in lav, and Russia, Itclgium and Portugal have introduced the wheel into their armies for similar duties. The withdrawal of Mr. Miller as a candidate for Poor Director leaves but one candidate for each office to be filled in the field, which does away with fie necessity of holding a primary this year. This will give the lU-publican voters all the more leisure to pn-an- for the contest next year, which w ill doubtless be an interesting one, as there will then le a full list of county officers to Ik? nominated, including an Associate Judge and memlicrs of the Legislature, as well as a candidate St Congress. Tin: bill to create an intermediate court between the county courts and the Supreme court Kissed the legisla ture liefore its adjournment and is now iu the hands of the (iovcrnor, and will doubtless le approved by him. It is to Ih coniHsed of si-veil judges nd will have limited jurisdiction. The creation of this new court meet with general approbation as it will 'Xiedite 1-usiness in the Supreme court by relieving that tribunal of many minor eases. It will be known as the 'S jj:rior c vjrt" iiKXKKAI. IltMIXKLL, the Rcpilbli can candidate for (Jovcnior of Ohio, savs that he is for McKiulcy for President in' lS!i, and that he be will 'Stand by him through thick and thin." The Cincinnati Cohuitrr t l'i! (iitzttic adds to Rushncll's state ment that nineteen men out of twenty in Ohio are at heart McKiulcy nicii, ami that the Ohio delegation in the next convention will lie made up A earnest McKiulcy men. This ought to satisfy the Democrats that it is folly for them to count on a Republican plit in the Buckeye State next Xo- vciiiIht. The Ieirislature closed its sessions on Saturday, and truth to tell, its end is generally hailed with satisfaction. 1 1 has not left a pleasant record 1k liind it and it has liecn disappointing to the thoughtful and discrete Repub licans of the State. It agaiti demon strated the danger of large majorities to the party in power. Conscious of overwhelming strength the Republi can majority ran into extremes, and in some instances neglected, and in others disregarded the wishes of the people vhose chosen representatives they wcr . Factional spleen was in sonic in stances given rein, and wrangles and bad blood, more or leas lasting, were ngendered, to the discredit and dis organization of this party. Uutil the numerous bills in the hands of the iovcrnor are disposed of and the roster is made up, it is hard to tell just how much good legislation was enacted, and how much wa neglected that might have liecn accomplished. It is not a plsasaut duty to disparage the action of a Issly made up so largely of our own political friends, hut Hit bet ter to s.-ak the truth than attempt to palliate and defend that which is un savory and reprehensible. For the gid or evil accomplished at the late c:on, the Republican party is enti tled to credit or amenable to censure, end it must accept the responsibility and face the music. It is announced that Colonel Henry Wattcrson, of Keutucky, is going abroad for a year or more, and will ut participate in the next Presidential election. Colouel Wattcrson is aa as tute politician and discovers the shad ows that coming events cat liefore them. Kentucky is on the eve of a vilitical revolution and the gallant Col onel is petting away from the coining fl.KxL The Republicans of that State are resolute'y working to redeem her and at this early date it looks as if suc cess will crown their efforts. At the election in last November the IVmo crjuie vote ia that State was 100.400; the Republican vote 157,0--; the Pop ulist rote IV7; and the Prohibition five of the e'even Congressional dis tricts and are contesting i(i uiniin It will therefore lie seen that at the start the Republicans have a good fighting chance, and Secretary Car lisle is making it better every day by his efforts to commit the party in tlcit State to a single gold standard, while Senator lilacklKirn is advocating free and unrestricted coinage of silver. This pplit between these two eminent leaders and their followers will give rise to the biggest fight in the Demo cratic ranks finec the war, ami the Re publicans will have a most excellent hance to capture toth the tiovernor and the Legislature, which will elect a Republican United States Senator. Col. Wattcrson will therefore ttis- creetly avoid mixing up in this losing fight by going abroad for a season. Te Fight the Garb Bill. The constitutionality of the Garb bill should Governor Hastings sign it will be sieedily tested by the Lancaster School Board. The new law Is declared to l a prying nuisance, and one that will injure many good teachers. Jliss Lena Hege is a teacher In the publio M-hooU of this city. She lieloiips to one of the religiims sects in this community who wear a jieonliar garb. She is a Mennonite, and their peculiar stvle of dress is simple but inoffensive. All the women wear black gowns little black silk shawls and black poke Imii- nets. In no war l tne jiennnmw teachers attempt to inculcate any partic ular relijfious doctrine. Miss Hone is an excellent teacher, and under the bill just passed is not eligible for re-election ay a teacher unless she dis cards the peculiar garb she wears. The Board of School Directors do not want to lose the service of Miss liege, and she will be re-elected unanimously at the meeting for the election of teachers this month. The members of the Board are aware that they violate this law by elect ing Miss Urge, and the expectation U that suit will lie brought for the penalty provided and judgment entered aguiust the IJoard of Directors. An appeal will tie taken, and in that way the constitu tionality of the law will be tested. The members of the board arc unanimous m their opinion that the law should le test ed at fail early day, and public sentiment n tiie coiiimmiity is behind the board in the testing of tlia law, Opinloni Concerning TiriG, The American ErouomUt puhljkhestha opinions of lol Senators and K-jrtentu-lives in Congress, and of some liny edi tors of newspapers, all affirmative of the need of tariff revision along the line of adequate protection to American capital and lalior. I'tah, West Virginia, and Ala bama editors speak quite as strongly in favor of protection as do those of Penn sylvania and Massachusetts. Three Con gressmen from Kentucky declare them selves protectionists, and one of the pres ent Senators from Delaware does like wise. Fourteen of the Congressional Representatives of New York pronounce in favor of a more hizhly pntoctive tar iff. Two of the Representalix t from Tennessee speak in like tone with the fourteen from Xew York. Two Congress men from West Virginia declare them selves fijluwers of McKiulcy, rather than of V. IiU. Texas has a protectionist in the pcnurti of the Representative of the Twelfth District, Missouri has four stal wart protoctiontas in Congress. These facts testify to a revolution in public opinion. Kxpcrience ever has liecn tne great teacher, anil experience uhm been teaching vigorously during the past three years. It is noticeable that none of tuu Congressmen or editors whose opinions are quoted by the ICttiiimiuxt indulge in argument The day of pr.iof by wherefore and becauscs has gone by; the conclusions now arrived si aro the result of the senses of sight and of fueling. The people now see and feel that II Is h profitable and less pleasant to live nm'er a free-trade tainted tariff than under one devised for and productive of proper pro tection to American industries. Inter tent a. Geographic Spelling. The United States lioard on geographic names, created by an executive order of President Harrison Septemlicr 4, 1"1, has already decided more than "kO eas?t f disnuted names. Tui; changing of the name "Behring" sea to 'Bering." and ot the kingdom of forea" to 'Korea," were among the earliest changes. Among the changes approveil are Iir.ipping the final "W in the termina tion burgh:" alibreviatl-m of UriigU to "Imro;" the spelling of tl word "eenter" as here given, the discoiitiitu- aneeof the hyphen in coinm-ting parts of names, the omission of the letters "( II." after the names of county scats, the siinplitiinitiou of names consisting of more than one word by their eoiiiliina tion into one word ; the avciilance of the use of diaeritie characters; the avoid ance of the use of the possessive forms of names, and the dropping of the words "city" and "town" as parts of naijie. Fkaa't Eoai Bill. Senator Flinn's Hoad bill passed the House finally by a vote of Wi to 'It practically a!i;slieti all previous bg-sla-tion atlVvting country roads, and provide another system.

The Court has power to confirm, modify, or alter the report The bill also provides that bids must lie regularly taken on all improvement made, contracts to go t; lowest an l bpt bidder. It applies to county bridges as well as roads. The bill does not permit a levy of more than two mills for ro.-iJ-h.iUding purposes. All roads or parts thereof re miin under the charge of the Township Supervisors, as at present until the Com missioners' report, or the rejHirt of the Viewers, covering their im proveinents is confirmed by the Court. Then they be-e-ime public county roads, and the Su ps r visors are relieved from their care. It is not cxiected that anything will be done un.U.r the bill this year, although an effort may be made in some built-up sections, where there u now no ower to make propi-r improvements. Oklahoaa OstUvs Beiegd, OiTiiitii ). T.. June 8.

Pa June 8, The legislature, or Ueneral Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, adjourned die at high noon Saturday, June 8, and is a thing of the past Both Houses wore in session all night, Friday night, relieved by divers and windry re cesses and by a call from lalsir to refresh ment. It was a good lay-out was the solid part of the luuch, but the libations did come in somehow. Naturally, when men lose sleep they must have an eye opener. There was considerable racket sonio disorderly conduit, more than usual, it is saiil, bnt enough for all prac-tii-al purposes. But for the fa-t that tho House refusal to agree to tho Senate pro posed amendments to the general appro priation bid, there would have liecn no necessity for an all night session. One ofthp amendments appropriated 3",fln0 to pay the exenses of the SenaU com mittee to investigate the municipal affairs of Philadelphia, the other $t5,M) to pay the expenses of the Senate committee to investigate tho workings of the public school system. Both were rejected by tho House by an overwhelming majori ty, and the bill was sent to a committee of conference composed of three momliers of each House, There were confer ences and conferences, but the more they conferred the further they appeared to lie from ugreelng. In tho lntorim there were some very hot speeches made in the House, Tho members didn't appear to like tho way they were Ignored by the Senate In forming the committees of in vestigation. The first eonierenoo com mittee failed to agree. The Senate dis charged its threo members of the first committee, and appointed throe now ones, when alxnit 8 o'clock on Saturday morn ing the conferrees agreed to reeedo from the resolution. That ended it and the bill passed. Senator J. M. McCarrcll was elected President pro tern, of tho Sonata, Senater Lamliach, of Northampton has been unseated, and his seat given to Dr. Heller, his Republican competitor, ac cording to the rejiort of tho Committee on Election. I Hiring the forenoon the usual numlier of presents were mado to the presiding officers of both Houses, the Chief Clerks, and other good and faithful servants of the dear people, from a costly silver set to a diamond pin. Purses of gold, gold watches and rings filled up the interval Of course there were complimentary presentation speeches, and grateful ac knowledgments from appreciative hearts "t'o full for utterance." Then there were regretful parting words kind wishes and hopes for a reunion if not in this world, in a lietior ono. The hour of twelve ha lug arrived, the Speaker's gavel fell, and. good by everybody. Mr. Liwrenco will start on his overland trip home on Monday, passing through Somerset After the Legislature adjourned at noon the memlicrs of the House gathered In front of the west portico and presented tiie venerable George V. Lawrence, of Washington, with a handsome horse and carriage. Governor Hastings mado the presentation speech, and Mr. Lawrence resjHmded feelingly. IX THE SKXATK.

Two amendments to the bill creat ing the Superior Court were offered when it came up for final passage, both of which were ruled out ; one reducing the salary from j7,."irt fo f !,'; the other was to give the Democrat two out of the seven judges. The vote on final passage sI-kkJ: -"fi yeas. 7 nays. The Foss bill, to prohibit the issuing of lupior licenses when a majority of the voters in any district disapprove, and the bill to preserve the purity of and prevent the polution of streams, were defeated. The act Jinn'ting the forfeiture of life in surance policies caigc up on special or tier snd was amen, led by M r. Baker, to meet, as lie said, the objections of the enemies of the bill. The enemies of the bill did not think so and defeated it. The Senate elected to represent it on coinmife.sjou to compute the vote cast for Slate. Treasurer next Novein's-T Messrs. Mflieiseu,Critfbfiud. IiultacIjaud Stijes. The postoi)uJ Senate bjJJ cpaiting the ofHce of Deputy Auditor Uciuiral and fixing his Milary at $.'i,oj" a year, called forth some discussion, but passed the House by a vote of K1 to iV The report of the conference committee on the Judicial apportionment bill was adopted by a vote of l.'ST to $2, and the bill lias been transmitted to the Governer for his approval. provides for five addi tional judges, one each in Westmoreland, Washington, Green and Jefferson, and one in the new Renting lon-Mitlhi dis trict The bill authorising the Secretary of Agriculture, instead of tl0 Secretary of the Commonwealth, to issue ocrtificatpg to manufacturers of common ml tertilizcrs caused some discussion, but piissed by a bare constitutional majority. What is known as the (nay county bill, erei-ting a new county out of portions of Schuylkill and Luzerne counties passed the House finally by a vote of 10.; to 03. Hazeiton will Ie the capital, and the citi zens of that town are in high feather over the passage of the bill, as arc the advo cates of the bill in Iioth branches of the Legislature, The bill giving preference to honorably discharged survivors of the late war in apjHiiiituicnts or employment passed finally as did th tt to erect an equestrian statue of Major General Hart ran ft in Capitol Park, at a cost of ?!!.(.). TOWSSII1P m ii.inxus. An "act to authorize the supervisors, road commissioners or other oilleers, hav ing in charge the constructing and keep ing in repair the public roads iu any township iu the commonwealth, to cause te lie erected a suitable building in which t hold ele-.-tious, store road machinery and transact township business, and au thorizing the construction of sidewalks,' was passed finally and g cs to the gov ernor for approval. TIIK STATK TO BCII.H CKRTAI.V 1IHIOOKS, The governor has approved the bill re quiring thestale to rebuild comity bridges erected over streams declared public highways, when such bridges are des troyed by lire, ilood or storm. In its original sh:ie the bill compelled the state not only to Isiild the bridges but also to keep them iu repair, etc The new bill requires the c.Minty to keep the bridges iu repair and hxik after them generally. It is claimed by tha Juniata Valley counties and ither countic that d not have any state or private in stitutions receiving state aid that it was Ho more than fair that tha state should aid them when they were practically bankrupt by reason of rebuilding bridges that had been swept away by the big tbssls of recent years and that was the line of argument made by Senator Woods, of Mitilin, who introduced the bill. Six years g. Mr. Woods introduced a bill to reimliurse the comities for bridges swept away, Imt, while it passed the Senate it was defeated in the hiuse. Four years ago he got his biil thnnigh both houses and Governor Pattison vetoed it This year be changed the bill w as to require the stata to rebuild bridges that may hereafter be destroyed, and it is now a law. FAItMLKs' IXSTmTEs. Through some misunderstanding it has been reported in several sections of the slate that the bill creating the state de partment of Agriculture would cause a liscontinuanee of tho local farmers' institutes. This, of course, is an error, as '-- - - i I. .... propriation of ri,(X) has licen recommend ed by the committee. The farmers in stitutes will lie conducted under the direction of the Department of Agricul ture, and instead of the local member of the state board of agriculture having absolute control of the institutes in his ounty, tho institutes will be conducted iy tho deputy secretary of agriculture. the masters of subordinate and pomnna granges, presidents of agricultural. horticultural or kindred larmers organiza tions in each county. Judges Retirement and Featioa Bill. For the information of the readers of the Hkrai.p who have lieen watching with interest to see tho final fate of the above bill wo publish the following from tho Philadelphia Lender of the 8th Inst Tho Judges Retirement bill was sent liaek to the committee to-day by iu friends, where it was left A Becial or- ler had been arranged for its consider ation in the Senate for 11 A. M. IU sup Hrters had been canvassing the Senate, and it was deemed unwise to call it up at that hour, and Senator Penrose moved to postpone tho special order to 4 P. M., which was agreed to. The work of secur ing pledges was continued until every Senator on the Hill was seen, and all the pledges they could got for tho bill num bered 10, or seven less than enough to pass it A u hour before the time for its consideration was reached Senator Grady stated to the Senate that tho friend of tho bill had made a careful canvass and could only get !9 Senators to supjiort it Ve have counseled together, he said. "and we have agreed not to put on r friends on record, especially thoso residing out side of Philadelphia, and I move to re commit tho bill." Senator Smith, of Phil- dclphia, seeondod the motion with a great deal of regret, and It was agreed to. The Senators who had pledged them selves to vote against tho bill wero Sen ators Baker, Brewer, Coyle, Critchflold, Fruit, fjobin, Green, Ilaekonlmrg, Hyde, Hardonborgh, Kauffman, Landis, Lemon, MeCarrel, MeCreary, McQuown, Mere dith, Mitchell of Bradford, Mitchell of Jefferson, Moyor, Taylor, Short, Snyder, Vaughn, Walton, White and Woods 1- tal, Ti. Of the remaining Senator three were non-committal and one Is sick. Tho friends of the bill would not give tho names of the 19 who pledged themselves to vote for the bill, except to say that the eight Philadelphians and four Allegheny Senators were among them. M'Liughlin ia a Cell. New York, June S. Poliiw Inspector McLaughliu is a prisoner in the Tombs, confined in Murderers' Row, awaiting sentence for the crime of extortion, of which a jury early this morning found him guilty. His cell companion is Michae) Consjdjuc, an ignorant, rough fellow, who killed John J. Maloney Jan uary IH. When ho heard the verdict Mc laughlin's demeanor was firm, but when at the T mi lis tho door of tho cell was thrown open and ho stepped across tho threshold and saw it was already oc cupied, he started back involuntarily. "How is this?" demanded tho in spector. "Can I not have a cell to my self?" Keeper Skelly told him that every cell in the prison was occupied. "You can share the cot with me," spoke up Considine: "or if you need sleep I'll give it to you by yourself, "Stay where you are," replied McLaughlin. "I don't want sleep," Innocent Mea Freed. New Yokk, June 7. Patrick Shannon and John Henry, who, umii mistaken testimony, were convicted and sentenced iu August 1U, to one year's imprison ment for entering a building with intent to steal, were released from the New York Piiiittcntiary to-day under a pardon granted by Governor Morton. The real culprits have been arrested and one has pleaded guilty. The other is now on trial. Shannon is 30 years old and has a wife and three children. In court to-day, while awaiting the proceedings that would free him, he said : m "You have no idea how an innocent man feels to bo in prison. Many a time I have stood and watched the guards with almost murder In my heart We protest oil our innocence aslot we could. Some body had to lie convi-ted for the crime, and we got it. I Psik my imprisonment like a man and did not trouble my friends or relatives about it; but it has ticeuahaid punishment and my hair has turned gray froii) tho worry over it" Italian Beet for Sale.

Four masked robliers hist night broke into the home of aged William Condon, in Gam ble township, bound bint and his wife wit la ropoa, and tortured tho husband with a butelinr knife. They ransacked the house, a tola every cent of money in It and then decamped a ith a horso and wagon stolen from their victim's stable. The Condons, who are reputed to have considerable wealth hidden at their resi dence, live in a lonely part of tho ca-jnty.

A few minutes later four men entered their lied room, and, after binding Mrs. Condon down iu lie I, they carried the old man to an adjoining apart ment ami tied him to a chair.

The southeastern portions of Shade and Stonycreek Townships, Somerset County, are located in a part of the Allegheny Mountains almost unknown, save to few of the hardy mountaineers who occa-J sionally invade their fastnesses In search of game.

Being remote from railroads, and sel dom visited by anyone save the few plain country folk who live near its borders, its great beauty and grandeur have not liecome generally known. The landscaio painter could here find abundant inspiration among the rocky peaks or deep gulches that would far surpass anything fouad along Paint Creek. From tho towering peaks can be seen the receding ranges of half a dozen spurs of the Allegheny Mountains, while deep down in the gulches where the sun's rays never pierce the dense hemlock and pine foliage the mountain streams mur mur among the rocks or fall in a shower of diamonds from the cliffs alsive.
