The Somerset Herald. 5CDWARD RCCtX Editor and Proprietor. The scientists aay that for the first time in 1S00 years, we are to have two full moons during this month. The six New England States are rvrvw. nted in Congress by just one IVnioeratic meinljer. How that fellow -lipje.l in is exciting some s'K-oulation. There is said to be more young blood in this Congress than in any one ever conveued at Washington. Evi dently young men are coming to the front. Cleveland's remedy for our bank rupt treasury is to retire the greenbacks fr.m circulation and supply their place with government lnds. What a handy thing those bonds would be for ever" day circulation and business purposes. Some of our Democratic contempo raries are borrowing trouble, fearing that "Czar" Reed will jeopardize his Presidential chances by rigid rulings during the present session of Congress. We deeply sympathize with them in their affliction. We gather from the message that the Cleveland plan to meet the deficit in the treasury is to plunge dceHr in to d.-bL A few old Republican fogies are of the opinion that an increase of the revenues would meet the trouble, but then, that would smack of again huilding up the "rohU-r tariff"." Postmaster (Jenkuae Wilson is in grt-:-.t luck ; according to his report there is only a little deficit of 10,000, 0U! in bis department, which, compar ed with the deficit in the Treasury, caust-d by his tariff bill, is but a drop in the bucket. How to reduce reve nues appears to le thoroughly untkr !tood by the "learned Professor." "Take the (iovimment out of the liauking business," "Ilelire the green lacks, and let the bunks issue the nec essary paper currency," is the present Democratic cure all for a lankrupt treasury. In the light of the last Na tional platform of that party, don't you see the glaring eyes of the "Wild Cat bank shining from under the mask?" ' Mr. Cleveland thinks that the trouble with the treasury is the grecn Iwtcks Is'ing redeemable in gold; they lraw out the yellow metal and it goes abroad. It is most singular that for over the thirty years we have been using these notes, they never lvhaved so naughtily lefore. Any school-boy eould tell the President that if more money is paid out daily than is com ing in, the bottom will soon 1 reach ed, and yet not a suggestion is made looking to an increase of revenue, to meet the deficiency. IH'Rixu last year, according to the reports received at the Department of Internal Affairs, there were l.os. peo ple killed and 10,07 injured on the railroads of Pennsylvania. This seems almost incredible, but as the railroad reiort it themselves, we must accept it as true. I n the entire number, howev er, there were 2" passengers killed and A2 injured, showing that the danger of railroad travel has wonderfully di minished It is found from the reports that there is one employe killed to ev ery 3t;l employed, and one injured to every I" employed. These latter fig ures are the sad ones and tell a sorrow ful story. After the onerous ta-k of writing, or rather compiling, a message that is longer and says less than any annual message on record, Mr. Cleveland fired it into Congress and then straight way hurried to the coast of North Car olina for ten days or so of duck-shooting. Here is Congress in session with Hie greatest of National questions be fore it; but what cares (.rover for a Ite publiean Congress, or National mat ters? Ducks are riie, and so public bus iness may wait, and Congress can be tiiiubiKsL For six months during the j'li'ii.T and fall Mr. Cleveland ab tetited himself fum the capital and directed his time to fishing and gun ning; he returned at Thanksgiving. pLMit a few days at his country seat near Washington, and again he's away for sport. For a statesman who e u ecrated himself to the welfare of the country at ?VJ,tr) jht annum, he is the e.Mlest sjv-cimcn of inlluitd ego tism now figuring on the world's s-tage. It is true he is but of little cousin juence in National affYirs, as there is no prob ability of his suggestions being adopt ed by this Congress but still a decent r.'sp-H't for the dignity of his pxiiion, ii not for tiie opinions of mankind, should constrain him to give apparent attention to nis pjbiic duties snd maintain at leat, a show of courtesy t.t the other cj ordinate branches of the iovernment. It is the old, old story of Nero fiddling while Rime burned. The South Carolina Constitutional Convention has adjourned after fram ing and adopting a new constitution, which was not submitted to a vote of ratification by the eop!e. As the principal object of changing the late constitution was to wipe out negro fj.it rage, it was of couivc accomplished. Tiie suffrage article provides that le for a man is i-rmilted to vote he must be able to read a jHirtion of the s institution and explain it intelligent I. to show that he understands it. TUis will "knock out" most of the col ord voters; for tJtone who were slaves or have grown up since the war, can not read, and therefore cannot explain the c :ilitutiou. A few whiles will also Ik' caught by this provision, but hm theeb'ction officers are the judges of their qualification, it may lie set down f'r crtaiti that but very ftw white m?ii will be rejected; and, for the pur jvtvse of keeping tli colored p-.Htple in a staU- of igmra!)ee, it is provided &Uu that the money collected from while jeip!e for school purports shall loused for the maintenance of white schools aly, aud that collected from colored ieople shall lie used to educate colored children. As is Well-known, the color- I people of South Carolina are noto riously poor, it can lie readily seen that a mighty small number of them will ever le able to read and explain the Constitution. It is said that this ras cally suffrage clause will le taken to the Supreme Court of the United states for settlement. We publish in this issue of the Her ald as much of the very voluminous im.isage of the President as we hare paoe for. The two principal topic WEnXEStfAT Pecember II. 1395 discussed in the message concern for eign affairs and finaucial affairs; th baltnce of the document being chiefly made up of the contents of Department reports, to w l'ich Congress is referred. As to foreign affairs, the message is tame, and shows a lack of sympathy with the struggling patriots in t. una, who are attempting to shake off the irallinz voke of Spain, or with the little state of Venezuela, whose territory is threatened with dismemberment by that big bully, John Bull. So that the neutrality laws are not violated, the President is content to see might pre vail, at the expense of right, and just ice, and freedom. The message has much to say about the importance to us of foreign mark ets, and through this portion of it, free trade ear-marks are plainly visible. On the financial question there is not one word regarding the deficit in the reve nues of the government, nor a sugges tion as to how matters are to be amend ed, and the amazing suggestion is made to retire the greenbacks from circula tion and issue 1 Kinds in their stead, which would at once precipitate a fi nancial panic, if there were the most remote probability of its adoption. On the whole, the message is not accepta ble to either of the great political part ies, and it is safe to say that there is not the remotest chance that a bill for this purpose w ill pass the present con gress. Eli Perkins oa th Menage. Potsdaji, X. Y., Dec 6. Melvil P. Landon, better known as Eli Perkins speaks thus of the President s message : "President Cleveland's message is a clear and lucid document. It tells us Demo crats why we had to kill the Monroe Doctrine. It tells us why we Democrats had to try to sink the Republic of Hawaii and put a negro on the throne. The mes sage proves to us Democrats that it is wisdom to send gold to low-wage Europe for tin and glass and pottery and cloth, and stop our home mills, giving our workmen low wages and a rest. It ex plains how, when we bought JWO.OnO.ftX) more of goods from England than we sold ihein, and paid the balance in gold hired from England at 4 per cent, it was the Sherman bill that made the deficit. "Then, Cleveland explained what a calamity the greenback has brought nKn us. We Democrats loved these green backs during the thirty years of prosper ity, when we had a tariff for revenue, a full Treasury, and paid off fiOOu.OUO.OjO of the Xatioual debt, but uow we see that free trade is a blessing, and that the greenback is ruining us. The message shows us DemocraU that it was right and neighborly for the King of Spain to grant belligerent rights to "Jell" Davis in a war to kill a republic and save slavery, while it is all wrong for our Republic to grant belligerent rights to Cuban patriots fighting for liberty and a twin republic Yes, ouMirover is a lemocrat, and Dem ocracy is always right 800161111168." Romance of the two Continents. Morristown, X. J., Dec 5. After be ing separated for 17 years, William Job and Sarah Ann Ennis were married here to-day, eaeh having traveled about SU miles to keep the tryst. The home of the bridegroom is near Helena, M011L, while the bride came from her home in Cornwall, England. The two had been children .together in a little Cornwall village and lovers as they grew older. William was too poor to get married. however, and 17 years ago sailed for this country, after Sarah had promised to wait for him. He landed in Xew York and proceeded direct to the copper mines at Eake Supe rior, where he got work. It was not the kind of work that he was looking for, nor what his studies hail fitted him for, no he soon drifted West. British pluck aud native ability won, and William Job's cheek for i"0,00 would be honored in Helena to-day, it is said. During all these years aeross the ea a woman wait ed and wat-hed and toiled aud prayed Faithful and true she stood by herplight- ed troth. About two months ago Sarah received a letter from her lover, asking her to meet him in Morristown, where she has a brother, William Ennis. At his home they were to be married, William said and the brave Cornish woman came. reaching here on Xovemler lis. Job ar rived on Monday and yesterday they were married; immediately after the cer emony Job gave his happy bride a check for flo.Oiiil. On Saturday they will leave for Helena, where they will reside. Job is superintendent of the Ontario Mine, which is owned by English capitalists. A Saprtm. Court Jastis. Washington, Dec 3. The president to-day sent to the senate the follow ing nominations: Ilufiis W. Peckham, ol Xew York, to lie associate justice of the supreme court of the Viiitcd States Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, to lie secretary of state; Judson Harmon, ol Ihio, to le attorney general. Kadis W. Peek ham, of Xew York nom i nated to be associate justk-o of the su preme dart, is a brother of Wboeler II Peckham, nominated and rejected for the same placj during the last congress. The nomination appears to Ihj satisfactory to the senate and there will lie no dilatory tactics against the confirmation of the nominee. The senate in executive ses sion confirmed (he nomination of Olney to be secretary of Stata and Harmou to le attorney general. The Keatutky legislature Tied. LorisviLLK, Dec. H. The special elec tion in the Fifty-eighth legislative dis trict yesterday was won by the Demo crats, who elected their candidate, A. J. Carroll, by a majority of over the Re publican nominee, Charles A. Illaiz. As a result the Kentucky legislature is left with a tie on joint ballot, and the ballot ing for a I'nited States Senator to succeed Senator Blackburn is likely to result in a deadlock. Onj iint ballot the Republi cans and Democrats will have 5S votes each and the Populists two, and it is pretty well assured that the Populist vote will split. Arizona'! Glorions Climate.

SchaefTer, superinten dent of public instruction, is a strong ad vocate of women on school boards. He s ivs the office of director is one of fitness and if woman is more fit for the place than man she ought to replace him. On the tlier side of the Atlantic woman has shown that she is superior to man in her fitness for the olii. Dr. ScUacifer believes man is too prone to neglect the comfort or ilia school h mjso, w hile on the other baud th wo man is more olwervaut of the Leeds of children. He has the first district to find in Pennsylvania w here women are mem bers of the school board that it is possi ble to talk of the "slaughter of the inno cents." He claims it is better to consult women in the curriculum and grading of the schools, and if he had his own way he would put several women on each school board in the State. From long experience and careful observation Dr. SchaefTer believes that we are taking a great step forw ard when we place women on school boards. CAMEROX-IS OUT.

McCarrelL Harris- burg, Pa. Effort to Bribe a Grand Juror. There was a sensational scene in the Cambria county court room at Ebens burg last Thursday afternoon, when the sheriff brought a man claiming to be U. H. Atkinson liefore the court, charged with attempting to bribe a grand iuror. Patrick Connelly, of the Fourteenth ward, Johnstown, the member of the grand jury approached, tells the follow ing story: When he was leaving the court house at noon Thursday, the man Atkiuson, whom he did not then know, touched him on the shoulder aud engaged him in conversation, as they walked along the street toward the Mountain House. When they came to the barroom, Atkin son proposed that they go in. Connelly consented, and took a drink at his new found friend's expense. Just then anotheinan, also a stran ger joined them, appeared very friendly, and also "set up" the drinks to Connelly, after which he disappeared. Then the two men left the liarroom and started to ward the office of the Mountain House. On the way Atkinson said the man they had met in the saloon was Frank Kurtz, of Wilmore, a hotel man, against whom there were two charges of selling liquor to minors and selling to men of known intemperate habits. These charges would soon come before the grand jury for consideration, and Atkinson Ijelieved that if Mr. Connelly would exert his influence no bill would lc found. The two men were walking arm-in-arm, and Connelly drew away from At kiuson and said: "What do you mean?" "It will pay you," was all the answer that Atkinson would give. The proposition was repeated on the steps of the Mountain House, and again Connelly was assured it would pay him to use his influence in the w ay requested. On his return to the court house Con nelly informed the judge of what had taken place. An attachment was issued at once and given to the sheriff, who in a few mo ments produced Atkinson in court. He did not deny that he had made the prop osition, as charged, but said he "did not mean anything by it." The court was plainly very indignant. He said that he regarded such actions with the greatest contempt, aud was so aroused thai he was not in the proper mood to deal with the man. He ordered the prisoner committed to jail until such time as the district attorney should frame an indictment for contempt of court, which would be acted upon by the grand jury. Arrangements could then lie made for the release of the accused on bail. It develops that Atkinson is a resident of Johnstow n aud is employed as an gent in that city for a Pittsburg liquor house. He was formerly employed as collector aud liookkeeper for the Puoenix Brewing Company, but later was em ployed in the same capacity for William Thomas in his bottling house. His ac cuser, Patrick Connelly, is the well known Johnstown merchant and tuem- ler of the school Ixiard. A Qsestioa of Wholesale Hanging. A question is before the Supreme court of Kansas in which the sheriff of Leavenworth county must le profoundly interested. It appears that the (iovernors have claimed a discretion as to the issuance of death warrants for persons f rind guilty of murder in the first degree. Believing they had it lawfully, they exercised it in refusing to issue death warrants. A test of the matter is to lie mide in the case of a couple of men con victed in Octol?r of the murder of the mayor of Kinsley. If the court decides against the (jovoruor f7 persons in the penitentiary will have to go to the gal lows. What a grim job that will be for the sheriff. Vnless he has prodigious nerve he will have to sub-let it. And what a grim job it will lie for I ho Gov ernor to sign all those death warrants. B.it in the event of such a decision the probability is that he will save both him self and the sheriff by using his pardon ing siwer. He might commute the sentenits to life imprisonment, and would be-justified in that. The hanging of a single person now and then Is con sidered a matter of course, hut the hang ing of 47 would Ihj horrible, and go far to strengthen the-demand for the abolition of capita! punishment. It may i.e. as sumed that the neglect to carry out the sentences has itself cone far to that end. The commutation of so many of them will make it all tho harder to carry out any hereafter, and commutation seems t lie inevitable in ca.se the ourt decides against the fJovernor. An average man would resign a Governorship before he signed 47 death warrants under the circumstances. lttx!mg Tim . A 'Weleoms Usher of '93.

Xary Thnrman's Strike. Sax Francisco, Doe. a Xews cornea from the mining camps of Picacho, on the Colorado desert near Yuma, that the richest strike in all that section in years has just been made by Mary Thiiruian, a daughter of Judge Thur nian, of Ohio, who was among the early arrivals at the camp, and in prospecting struck a ledge of gold quartz that prom ises to make her very wealthy. Sixteen years ago Mary Thurman, then a belle of Washington, married Lieut. Com. W. S. Cowles, now United States Xaval at tache in London, who was recently mar ried to Miss Roosevelt, sister of the secretary of the United Sta';es embassy. They soon quarreled aud Mary Thur man came West, settling in San Diego county, near the Mexican line, with a sister of Cowles. Mrs. Cowles secured a divorce and married Thomas (Jifford. Tbey went to camp at the Hot springs, two miles below the border, and it was rumored that Uifford amused himself by beating her in their tent home. Before this Mrs. Uifford had made a journey to Ohio to see her dying mother, but the "Old Roman" would not receive her into his house. She went back to lower Cali fornia and secured a divorce from her second husband. This was about a year ago. After this Mary married a pro fessional ball player, "Bug" Holliday. She is well knowu in Southern Cali fornia. Shot Down By a Bobber. CoruERspoRT, Pa., Dec OL The story of a fiendish robbery comes from Ulysses, this county. The victim is an old soldier, and he will prolmbly die. Norman F. Bump went to Ulysses and drew the money on his pension voucher. He was aliout town an hour or more, wheu he started for home. His way led through a piece of woods. When at a point where the trees are the thickest Bump was fired upon from ambush. A portion of the charge struck him in tho side at short range Bump reeled, but not before he saw standing behind a tree not 15) feet distant a young man, who, he says, was Charles Chiltson. Chillson stood with a double-barreled shot-gun partially raised to his shoulder. Bump attempted to run, when Chiltson fired again, this time fell ing him. The shots attracted several men to the spot, where they found Bump. He was able to tell his story, and by the aid of a light snow on tho ground tho men could track Chiltson through the woods. A posse of citizens gave pursuit, but darkness soon coming on the hunt for the young man w as abandoned until morning. Yesterday they found Chilt son hiding, and after some show of re sistance he was captured. Chillsou bor rowed the gun from a neighbor, ostensi bly for the purpose of going pheasant hunting. A Pension Bill By 0.337. Among the bills introduced iu the Senate on Thursday, was one by Senator Quay, amending the Pension' Act of 1SW, so as to more clearly indicate its applica tion to insane, idiotic, and permanently helpless children. The present law has been variously construed on the point, and the bill introduced by Senator Quay provides: First, If a soldier leave a widow and a child who, prior to attaining the ago of sixteen years, has liecome, or shall le come, Insane, idiotic, or otherw ise per manently helpless, the widow shall re ceive f"J per month on account of such child, so long as he may be dependent on her, w ithout regard to his age. Second, If the soldier leave no widow, or if the widow die or re-marry, such helpless child, aliove deserilied, shall be entitled to pension without regard to his age. Third, If a soldier leave a widow who is not pensionable under any law, because the soldier's death was not due to his service, and lecausehe married him subsequent to June '27, WH, any chil dren he may leave by a former marriage may lie pensioned as if he had left u w idow.
