The Somerset Herald. EOVPARD 8CULU Editor and Vnprieiot. VEDSE6UAT. .K. Tiry S, 1SS Mr. Tfxlek desired to test the Pres ident and the House on free coinage. He heard from both without delay, and in a manner not to tie misunderstood. Evexts njove fa-sl iu these that's.

Bv the time the November election occurs the members of the "Taxpayers' Union" will be &a lonesome as most other good little boys whose parents will not allow them to play with bad little boys. With a full-fledged Democratic can didate for Governor and the President of the "Tax-payers' Union" both resi dents of Somerset, this section is liable to have tmnie politics before "the rones bloom again." The German people who are no longer tiennit-ted to comfort themselves with Am rican apple are the chief suf ferers from the ridiculous decree just issued. The apples will find a ready market elsewhere. The Teller resolution reached the House on Saturday, and was kicked into a shapeless mass on Monday. That is how a proposition t- pay the IioikIh of the Government in "-cent dollars fares in a Republican lxx!y. The Suae delegation to the Republi can convention from the Sixth, Alle gheny County, Legislative District, have endorsed Senator C. L. Migee for Governor. This was probably a move to prevent CoL V. A. Stone from get ting the endorsement. Theue is great interest in the trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies at Wilkesbarre. Even Secretary of State Sherman has sent a representative to watch the trial, so that a full report miy be made to the Austrian Govern ment, which has fiied a claim for dam ages on account of subjects of that country killed in the riot at Lattimer last summer. Congressman William A. Stone, of Allegheny, has scored his first real vic tory iu his campaign fr Governor. The Republican voters of Snyder county Lave voted at their primaries, by a de cisive majority, their preference for Col. Stone for thegu'.ieruatorial nomination, and the delegates to the Republican State Convention were accordingly iu etruced to vote for him. He mtst have used a golden horn, and the blast he blew on it must have been long and loud that enabled ''JJr'er Gabriel" Wanamaker to resurrect the aggregation of venerable political fiw sils that attended his- Bourse meet:ug last week. Among the number were many who have beeu identified with every bolt or disorganizing movement that has taken place in the Ilepublicau party since its organization. Not a few were of the vintage of 'hJ, and have lieen in political iiiiarantitie sines that memorable year. Surely, such an ag gregation never exhibited before under one canvas. """" he treasury gold fund keeps right on growing, notwithstanding the re ports sent out ncently that it was al ready so large as to be burdensome. The tloJ,nuO,OnO mark has just been crossed iu the upward movement, mak ing a new record for the period which has passed since, the middle of Harri son's administration. Not since lS'.K) has this liue been touched. Although the treasury may be somewhat embar rassed, or imagine that it is, by the size of this gold accumulation, the fact that the gold is in the Government's hands and not in safe-deposit vaults or private hoards shows a financial confi dence in the situation throughout the country which is very gratifying. Th ere asse mb!edinthelioursebuild ing iu Philadelphia last Wednesday a large number of self-appointed, self-accredited delegates, principally from the c'ty of Philadelphia aud adjoining counties, who formed an organization kntwn as the "Taxpayers' Union," a lopted a platform charging the State Government aud Senator Quay with all manner of uluses, and nominated John Wanamaker as their candidate for Gov ernor. The Republican Taxpayers' Union is the latest form of the Business Men's League, the members of which organ ization made a lamentable failure in their efforts to elect Mr. Wanamaker to the Uuited States Senate, and later to control the Federal patronage of the eastern part of the State. A glance at the list of delegates recalls very vividly the campaign of 1SS2. Most of those prominent in Wednesday's meeting were active in the Independent cam paign of that year which resulted in the defeat of Geueral Beaver, and the elec tion of a Democratic Goveruor. While denouncing Senator Quay as a political "boss," these pure reformers uublush Ingly adopt the very tactics they pre t -nd to condemu in him, and openly attempt to exclude every other candi date save the out of their naming. If their actions aui atterances tn?au any thing, they mean that if their choeen candidate, Wanamaker, is not ro nina ted by the next Itepublicau Conven tion, b will still be a candidate at the November election. They practically say to the Republican voters of the State : "We have named for you a can didate for Governor; endorse him at your convention, or we will run I In as an independent candidate and dd'eat your nominee." Mr. Wanamaker has an undoubted right to aspire to the governorship, but be, his friends and followers should ac cord the same right to Hon. C W. i Stone, CoL W. A. Stoue and the several ' other equally honorable gentlemen who J sue open and avowed candidates for the same position. We greatly misjudge the temper of the Republican voters of the State if they do not resent this unwarranted at tempt at dictation on the part of a handful of political shysters, political rc -beads, political castofl's, mug wumps, day-dreaming tinkers aud tbe- the gulne of politluiJ refonm and in tent upon the dUrup'.ion of the Repub lican organization aud the defeat of its party nominees. Wanamaker ''He Pays tha Freight" From the Philadelphia Press we gather that the following-named gen tlemen from Somerset county were pres ent and participated in the "Taxpay ers' Union" meeting held iu Philadel phia last week, at which John Waua tnaker was nominated for Governor. From what source they obtained their credentials, or by what authority they undertook to represent the Republicans of Somerset county, the Press does not state. That the agents of Mr. Wanamaker "paid the freight,'' or, in other words, furnished railroad transportation, aud, perhaps, the wherewithal to defray other little incidental expenses for all but two of the party, who have their own transportation, goes without say ing. Is it any wonder then that these very practical "reformers" were enthu siastic for Mr. Wanamaker'8 nomina tion, aud for anything that his paid agents wanted done? And isn't it de lightfully humorous, the coyness of Mr. Wanamaker in apjareiitly hesitating to accept a nomination for which he expended thousands of dollars in bring ing together his "friends" that they mijrbt tender him it !

Tbere will be sharp criticism and uni versal condemnation of the ourse pur sued by Goveruor HastiEgs in riling aa application just at this tiiue for a pre liminary injunction to restrain bisfcllow- raeinbers of the new Capitol Commission, with whom he has refused to act for a nuiiiberof months past from making contnwt on Monday next forthe erection of the Ciipilo! building. The only ptir Mse of this action can be delay. The Court, of course, will grant a preliminary injunction, although it may very prompt ly dissolve it whea the time comes for a hearing; but the effect will lie to waste much valuable time of the little that re mains in which to prepare for the ac commodation of the next Legislature. The feeling will be wide-spread that this action by the Governor is prompted not so much by anxiety for the interests of the state as from a desire to preveut the consummation of the plan of const ruction adopted by the four other members of the Commission ; and tbere will be universal hope expressed that the Court will act promptly in deciding the question. Of course, if the Court continues the injunc tion, after argument, that will end all hope of erecting a Capitol building this year. If the Court shall dissolve the in junction, the other Commissioners w ho are deserving of much commendation for the energetic work that they have been lining, will at once proceed with the buil ding, and it is not at all prolial.le that the Supreme Court, after its emphatic decla ration as to the large discretionary power of the Commission will interfere with it- It is a great pity, and an everlasting thame to the state, that jualousies aud en mities should obstruct the construction of a building so necessary to the State It was hoped that the scandals that have attached theuiselvea to this class of pub lic work in 90 many Plates would not ap pear in Pennsylvania, but it seems that we are no better thau our neighlioru. II the other Commissioners differed iu opin ion front Governor Hastings, he had no cause to complain. It was not the first time In the history of the world where a Commission composed of five persons did not agree, and where the minority of the Commission though it had quite as much cause of complaint as Governor Hasting had in this instance. Governor Hast iugs alletre as one of his reasons for this action that the timo is not sufficient iu w hich to construct a building, and anoth er that the plans do not indicate a fire proof building. Is it fair to assume that the 'our members of the commission are pjite as well sWe to juJ,jeof the ability to construct a building in the time that in tervenes and as to that building lieing fire-proof, as the one member? However much Governor Hastings may think otherw ise we greatly fear that the sin cerity of bis actions in this matter will be questioned by the vast majority of the people of the Co.iimouwealth. They will regard this new delay as only another piece of evidence to confirm theiu in their belief that it was not the intention, at any time, to construct a building upon the modest plan that is now proposed, but that the proposition from its very inception was political buncombe, deviied at the time to cater to the suddenly aroused economical spir!t that singularly enough pervaded the closing hours of the Legis lature. Liberal With the Jurors. Wii.kksbarbk, Pa Feb. 6. When court adjourned yesterday Judge Wood ward, who is presiding in the trial for murder of ShcrifT Martin aud deputies, told the jurors they could go In church, fr a walk and have a trolley ride if they desired. He ailili! that the quarters in the court house were not very otmforta Ke, and that he desired to give them all the opMirtuuity possible to do as they pleased and go out when they liked. The trial thus far has shown that the Comifonwealth will try to prove that the strikers were aked to march to I.attiaier by the men working there for the pur pose of showing themselves and thus gi v ing the Lattimer men an excuse for join ing them. Also, that they were quite un armed; that they had been cautioned by their leaders not to attempt violence, to keep the peace and obey the law in every particular. Having done this, the Com monwealth will go on to prove that the shooting was premeditated and malicious ; that the deputies not only threatened to shoot down the strikers if they came in eonflii w ith them, but openly boasted that they would kill some of them. They w ill endeavor to prove that the shooting was unprovoked by any overt at of the strikers; that they were willing to dis perse if the sheriff convicced them that they were breakiug the law, or if he read the riot act to them ; that when they en emntered the deputies and the i-beritT at IjiUtuir the latter provoked tbe shooting by pulliug a couple of men from the rank-, trying to shoot down ono of the tn with his revolver, aud that this was a prearranged signal lor the firing to com mence. Restrictions On Xarriags. CoLCMBrs O., Feb. 3. Representative Charles W. Parker, of Cuyahoga county, introduced in the Legislature to-day a bill requiring all persons applying for licenses to marry to pass a medical exam ination. Persons having dipsomania, any form of insauity, hereditary tuber culosis or consumption or kindred diseas es are tarred from marriage by the bill. An examining board of three physicians in each county w ill be created bv the bill if it becomes a law. The wiil of Josephine Mellen Aver, the widow of the late James C.

Party 8t Up a Candidate V.to Vast bt Hominated or they Will Bolt the CoaTeaUon. Under the ausj.ir i-T tb "lUisinesB Men's League" a meeting was held in the liocrse at Ph Jadelphia last Wednes day, which drew together some .'iXl In dependent" Republicans, most of whom w ere d isappo i u ted o ffi co-see kers, and oon suently bad an axe to grind, and which resulted in the naming of John Wanama ker fjr Governor. Folly two-thirds of those who participated in the meeting were residents of Philadelphia and the adjoining counties, and those from the "rural districts" present traveled on rail road transportation furnished -y Mr. Wanamaker. whose agenui also looked after their other little incidental expecsns. But forty-six of the sixty-seven counties iu the .State were claimed to be represent ed, but, in order to create the impression that the gathering was not a scheme con fined exclusively to Philadelphia, a "gen tleman from the country" was selected for chairman, and the "honor" was bo stowed upon our esteemed townsman, "General" W. H. KoonU. The "honor" thus thrust upon the "Gen eral" was so sudden and unexpected that he was unable to prepare a speech of ac ceptance, and was compelled to fall back on the old one "dividing the government into three co-ordinate branches, the exec utive, the legislative and the Judiciary ; striking the shackles from 4,000,000 slaves ; free speecli, free press and free men," etx, etc, so familiar to all our Somerset county readers that we will not reproduce it here. The following acoouut of the proceed ings of the meeting we take from the Philadelphia Inquirer of Thursday last: "This reminds me of a Demooratic con vention ! Why the devil don't you shut up !"' Such was the angry expression used by Charles It. Andrews, of Lawrence county, at the conference of Anti Quay Republi cans assembled at the Bourse yesterday for the purpose of naming John Wana maker as the anti -Quay candidate for Governor. The delegates wore in session for three hours, and during half that time the meet ing was in au uproar. The confusion arose from the fact that the managers of the cut and dried conference tried to gag, suppress and bulldoze the handful of ear nest citizens who publicly, boldly and emphatiidly protested. one of the conspicuous figures in the gathering was Major K. A. Hancock, who was not made Collector of the Port, and who now has a grievance against Presi dent McKiuley and the entire Uepublicau party; James Kckersley, au amiable young man w ho aspired to the Postmas tership, aud w hose aspirations have been rudely shattered ; J. Levering Jones, who might have been a Cabinet officer if Dola mater had been elected Governor ; Sam uel J. Randall, Jr., the Republican son of a Democrat, who adored the hem of Quay's toga until that gentleman refused to recommend him for Chief Coiner of the Mint; Robert R. Deardon, an unsuc cessful caudid.it for Postmaster, Assist ant Postmaster and several other thing; that eminent reformer, "Sam" Losch, of Schuylkill county; Joseph M. Huston, who seconded Roney's nomination in a recent combine convention, and wh.J be comes a State delegate by the grace of Da vid Martin; August Douath, of West Chester, a standing and unsuccessful can didate for the ollice of public printer at Washington; Charles Heber Clark, the humorist; Chris KaulTtnan, who wiil shortly le defeated for State Seuator in Lancaster dainty, and John F. Keatcr, the distinguished Germantowu legislator who voted for the bill to deprive Phila delphia of a large portion of its public school fuud. CfT AND PRIKD. General W. II. Kooutz, of Somerset, was made permanent chairmau of the meeting. Probably the most humorous speech of the afternoon was his declara tion that bis election was unexpected and that there would be nothing "cut or dried" alx.ut this meeting. Whereupon one of Mr. Blankenburg's attaches quietly slipped a typewritten program to the chairman. Of course, this was done to dispel all thought of a cut-and-dried program. In order to avoid all mistakes "Chairman" Koontz had all of his committees named iu advance. In a burst of gonerosity ths Blankenburg managers left a blank wherein the chair men and the delegates were permitted to name one secretary. The Chairman was compelled to re fer to the type written "order" very often. Tilden, who evidently helped to draft these instructions for the "g lidanco" of the meeting, had himself d wn as ch vir man or the committee to notify Mr. Wan amaker. There is where Mr. Kooutz slipped his trolley. Ha read out all of the names as per instructions, but made Gaorge W. Hoopes, of Chester, chairman. Tilden sulked a little at this, but he will p'ay just the same. The "committee" on resolutions was lit tle less than marvelous. It went out and returned iu less than four miuutes with res Iutions that took a quarter of an hour to read. VAXA.1KKR OPPOSKl. To the intense surprise of Mr. Blanken b irg. J. II. Rsdseeker, a delegate from Lebauon, bitterly oppjsed this resolution "We condemn Mr. Q-iay and Mr. Q iay's methods," he shmited in clarion tones, "an I now we are going to d just what we denounce him for doing. 1 hogofyou not to pass this r?slutin. If you do you put in the hands of Mr. Q lay a knife with which to cut our throats. I hon-ir Mr. Wanamaker as much as any man in this ro'mi, but if you uominato him nivv you sot yourselves tip as dictators. It is the same as ifyou put up one b3S against another bus. We practically say nomi nate this candidate or we will bjlt th eon veil tion. "I have never asked Mr. Q ny for a-ir favors and ciuseueutly I have nsver been turned down by him. D.m't, my friends whatever you do, place any one man in nomination. I alvise you for yoar own sakes to steer clear of the rocks. If Mr. Wauamaker wants to be a candi date let him c m out and announce him self in m inly fashion, a-id if he win the nomination no man will support him more heartily than I will. Bjtlberryou not to set np as political dictators." Delegate Bicry. of Lehich, sp ke in a similar vein. He said: "You should go among the people and God out w ho they want. Ifyou don't they will say you cry 'boss' when you yourselves aspire to be bosses." Th;e ppeeahes were so manifestly out side of the schedule given to the chair mau that Mr. Biaukenburg was con strained to call time on the gentlemen. Then Mr. Biaukenburg took the floor and said "We are here for business." Klab orating this thought h pointed out that the busiuess was to name a standard bearer. J. B. D )bl, of Lycoming, protested against the carrying out of the cut-and drie 1 Wanamaker program, after which a Mr. Moorehead, of Krte. made a speech in favor of Charles W. Stone, which no one listened to. Thomas Roddey, of Crawford, joined in the protest against naming Wanamaker. "Don't let it get out," he exclaimed "tbat a gentleman c;!nas in one corner with a cut an.l-dricd resolution, and an other man trora another cirnsr with a re ort that was prepared tvrenty-fjar haursago." Cries of "Time! Ti.ne !" came from the Claukenb'irg corner. This ouly served to infuriate the speak er. "Ikm'l let us have gg law here," he cried, "listen to reason and keep on the right track." Chris KaulTman, of Lancaster, rush-d ia lit front rf tb ruom, and ia trteA vein r:npbri tarfr ehcara for Waua mat jr. They wera given. Then usurpiug the office of chairmau he put the motion to endorse Wanamaker aad declared it tarried. Delegat Itodsecker, of Leaion, anis and protested against this revolutionary plan of procedure. Ho was greeted with a series of hoots and hisses, but bested his gn.un J manfully. "I ask for a respectful hearing," he siM. "I rcsxgnize nt motion here not put by the President of this meeting. I say that your policy to-day has been poor policy. It is slapping in tae face good men like C. W. 8tone, I enter my solemu protest against this resolution. That resolution for Mr. Wanamaker was prepared before this meeting assemble!, aud type-written ir advance." It was at this point, wheu ooufusion reigned supreme, that the delegate from Lawrence uttered the profane, but expres sive, sentence with w hich this article begins. But the resolution was declared cart led "unanimously," notwithstanding the strong chorus of nays. Resolutions were adopted denouncing the Capitol Commis sion and advocating the election of United States Senators by direct rote of the peo ple. Then, to avoid the well-grounded suspicion that the title had been selected with a view of bolting the regular con vention, the delegates reconsidered the vote by which the organization was styled the Republican Taxpayers' Association. Then, amid much confusion, the confer ence adjourned. The Knitted California Grape Crop. The partial loss to the grape crop this year, caused by the heavy rains, is esti mated to exceed 1,000,00a Farmers and vineyards all over the northern part of the State have suffered, and shipments of the fruit to the East are proportionally small. At least one quarter of the crop is lost. While this hi true, it is equally a fact that lost and failing strength may be restored to the weak and nervous by the persistent, systematic use of the great na tional tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which renews the tone and harmonious activity of the stomach, liver and the bowels, counteracts a tendency to rheu matism aud kidney complaint, and pre vents malarial disorders. Convalescence, after exhausting diseases have run their course, is often timeous and tedious. Re covery is greatly accelerated by the use of the Bitters, which improves the appetite and imparls renewed vigor to debilitated physique, A wineglassful before meals creates a hearty cost for food.

Before oincludinir our report, we tlcfin it our duty to interpose ol jetions h the Nvstem of book keeping praiiwil in tbe otlice of the Couuty 'oinniissioners, w hereby lartre suir.a of tho county fuuds are rareleshly, if not illegally, druwn from the county treasury. It is manifestly the duty of the connnissioneis of the connty to draw orders ou the county treasury for every cent expended, and not to withdraw funds from the treasury upon the mere presentation of bills or ac counts stamped "Approved by tbe Coun ty Comnrsfiiotiers." We are of the opin ion that the practice has resulted in great injustice in the past, and it is nn necessary to point out the fearful consequences it may have in store for the taxpayers of the county if liii(jer continued. 4lj4-tion is Interposed to issuing orders from twoor three different S4urcs4t which of itself must be regsrdol aa unsafe busi ness methods, as well aa confusing to those charged with auditing the same. Objection is interposal to issuing coun ty orders tearing interest, which we ls lieve has lieen done without warrant of law ami to the prejudice of the taxpayers of thecoiuity. direction ia lntcrp4cd to the maimer in whii-h the minute book, in tbe otlice of the County Commissioner", is kept. It is farcical and unbusinesslike to make a mirute ofthe fact that the commission ers met on Monday and adjourned on Saturday, without giving the names of the commissioners present, and a full ac count of the pui lie business transacted by thnni each day they were in sss,ioii. Sei iiMis objection is interposal to issu ing onjera on the crunly (treasury Ji-r services rendered by county commissii n ers and their employes liei'ore the same have b- en furnishfHl, as it is against pub lic pilicy anil without warrantor law. Objection is interrsx-ed to draw ing war rautri upon tbe rounty tressnry upon pre aenU.tion of unileniized bills. Or-jecti4n is interprwd to letting public out i ads in secret w ithout public notice, as w l-elieve it to be prej.idicial to th bet ir.lerexts of the taxpavera. Ot jistioii is interposed to the granting of rebate- npn t.ixes properly and legal ly assessed, without due notice, as the twine is without warrant of law. andean only Le doiie iu tbe interest of favored parties.
