Two United States Senators have re

they have not resigned, and do not in

Ex-State Chaikmax Thomas V.
Cooper has injected some mirth into
the gubernatorial campaign by the an
nouncement of his candidacy on a
harmony platform. The Philadelphia
Times' cirtoon, in its isue of Monday,
on Cooper's candidacy, is the one really
good newspaper carcon we have seen
for some time.
While everybody recognizes that the
late Spanish minister's abuse o our
President and country generally was
his personal, not official opinion, for
which his government ought not to be
held responsible, there is small doubt
that it has increased the general desire
to see Cuba gain her freedom from
Spanish rule. The force of ass'tciation
is rathsr stronger than that of mere
logic
If THE system of book-keeping in
vogue in the County Commissioner!,'
office is as rotten as the mild intimation
of the Auditors would seem to indicate,
it is not to be wondered at that in the
"remarks" emanating from that office
fear is expressed that the expenses of
the county will be iucreased by litiga
tion that will follow in order that the
taxpayers may learn whether or not
they hc.ve Leen fleeced by their duly
accredited agents.
Tils Loudon Statist, me of the ablest
and bet known fiuauciul journals in
the world, says "if Mr. Bryan should
be elected in 1900, and if a silverite
congress snouia ue cnosen, a panic
would follow more severe than has
been witnessed in any part of the world
for a very long time," That, of course,
is the judgment of an overwhelming
majority of persons in the United States
also. In fact, Bryan himself in 18'W
acknowledge! that his election at that
time would precipice a panic, but he
said it would soon end. The fact that
nearly everybody believes Bryan's elec
tkm would have this effect is the chi.-f
reason why neither he nor anybody
who represents Br van ism can ever be
President
The moot recent exhibition of "vtl
low dog" journalism that has come to
our notice is the wholly unwarranted
and grossly libelous attack made up-in
Mr. A. J. Hileman by the "fake" organ
in its istus of last week. No man in
8jni3rset county bars a higher char
acter for honesty and official integrity
than does Mr. Hileman. The charge
that be practiced deception and fraud
upon Auditor Sipe to induce him to
sign the recent Auditors' Report, no
neaoqUiinted wit'a "J.iek" Hilemau
will believe unless the fact is estab
lished by uncontrovertible proof.
For ourselves we j lestion whether
the venerable Mr. Sipe ever signed and
swjre to the patition pibiiibed over
Lis came, or that th svui will ever
be presented to court. We rather in
cline to the belief that It is only anoth
er desperate effort on the part of the
editors of the "Uke" organ to deceive
and "fake" the people. In this con
section let it be remembered that both
Commissioner Kretihman and Qjod
have deniei in the most positive terms
that they either signed or authorized
their names to be signed to the alleged
"annual statement" of rw;"pij and
expenditures of Sjanrs-l cuaty. pub
Itshei In several of the county papers
list week.
It appears from a published peti
tion addressed to the Court of Common
Pieas of Somerset County and siened
by Peter Sipe, a member of the board
of County Auditors, that he was
Induced to sign the repirt of the
receipts and expenditures of -u J coun
ty for the year JS97 through misrepre
sentation, and that the foot note attach
ed to said report was substituted by the
clerk to the Auditors for a foot note
prepared by Auditor Bowman.
Thesa are serious allegations ti bring
against sworn officers of the couu ty.
and if they cn be substantiated, the
guilty officials should be sa.umirily
dealt with; but, before the matter is
disposed of by the Court to which Mr.
Sipe'a petition U addressed, it would hi
well to remember that Auditors RhoAds
and Bowman, and Clerk Hiletnin are
all ci Ui mis of unblemished character,
that they are sworn officers, and, as ap
pears from a card published elsewhere
in this paper, they sejk ths fullest in
vestigation of Auditor Sipe's charges.
If it should t shown oa judicial in
vestigation that Auditor Sips's charges
are utterly without foundation, that the
Cull statement Wis read t him
. - as
bv a member of the board, in tne
presence of at least two other persons.
it will Dlsce him and those wbo inauo-
ed him to sign ( if be did sign) Lis pub
lished petiliou in a position that few
men would like to occupy.
Several of our county contempora
ries last week published a little item
anent the meeting of the Taxiyer
Union intended to be complimentary
of "General" KoontE, taken from the
Philadelphia Press, and announced:
with much unction that it was from
the ieu of Charles Emory Smith, and
that the Press was a tborough'y Re
publican paper. To believe that Cu&rles
Emory Smith "Sit -Down Smith"
writes the little personal Kiuibs for his
paper, requires as great a stretch of the
imagination as it does to believe that
the Press is a thorousrly Republican pa
per. The Press bolted the regularly
nominated ticket in lwJ and in IbW,
and is threatening: to do the fame thing
this year if its and the Taxpayers' Un
ions candidate for Governor, John
Wanamaker, is not nominated by the
next State (kmvention. ben the
Press, in the item referred to. speaks of
"General" Koontz, president of the
Taxnavfrs' Union, as "one of the tru-
a '
est, soundest and worthiest Republi
cans in the btate," it apparently gaug
ed the " General's" Republicanism by
its own standard. But, "ere tne rob
ins net airain." when the "General"
has become a full-fledged candidate for
a scat in the State Legislature, we
thick a publication or bis past political
record will convince even the Press,
with its peculiar ideas of what consti
tutes a true Republican, that the " Gen
eral " is decidedly ofl color, and any
thing but a sound party man, but on
the contrary is a mugwump of the first
water.
Should Hv Beta Tka Wlula Hot.
Frum Saturday' Johnstown Tribune.
It is intimated that Wanamaker may
on Monday reply to the notification of
the Goo-Goo Committee as to whether
he will accept the bid of the Taxpay
ers' Convention to distribute some of
his money for alleged "campaign ex
penses." We are not an" ad vLser of Mr.
Wanamaker politically, but if we were
we should have told him it was not
good to let the red-'hot speeches of the
Bourse men gtt cold before he attempt
ed to mold the material to his wishes.
When he does now attempt to handle
the stud he will f.nd much of what
was molten metal nothing but cold slag.
Luetgert Derides Hi Jury.
Chii aoo, 111., Frb.19. "That jury was
a pack of cowards," said Adolph L. Luet
gert at the County Jail to-day. The big
sausage-maker showed some anger as he
spoke. "If tbey had been men men of
nerve and character," continued Luetgert,
"there would have been no compromise
verdict.
"I am either guilty or I am innocent
If I am guilty, I deserve death they
ought to hang rae as high as Gilroy's
kite. If I am innocent 1 a in entitled
to my liberty. Luetgert is as innocent
of the crime charged against him as any
man who walks the streets of Chicago.
It is said that I laughed last night when
the verdict was read. Ttiat is true. I
langhed because the verdict to me is a
ridiculous farce. It is a coward's verdict
Tbey didn't have the nerve to find me
not guilty when tbey saw the evidence
did not prove my guilt, so they com
promised. The case will go to ths Su
preme Court, and eventually I will be
free."

Women Wbo Could Fight
VANt'Kiirita, Ky., Feb. 11. At En-tila-
pia, this county, this morning Constables
Cropper and Thacker attempted to arrest
an old woman named Crow, w ho was at
her home with several grown up dangh
ters. Before the officers realized it one of
the girls flew at them like an enraged
tigress, with a long knife, dangerously
wounding both ouicera. By this time the
old woman and another daughter drew
revolvers and the officers realized It was
a fight for life. The battle ragad for a few
moments, and after the smoke had clear
ed old Mrs. Crow was found shot to pieces
and one daughter dead. Those who sur
vived are in a dangerous condition.
The surviving inmates of the Crow
house are still holding it against the of

BPAWISH XIKISTXB KSIOHS.
Wrote a Letter Denouncing
Fretidtt
McKinley.
The publication of a letter bearing the
signature of the Spanish Minister Dcpny
de Lome ddreoieito 6enor Canalejas,
and making severe strictures on Preaideut
McKinley, created a profound impression
throughout the country on Wednesday.
Ie Loire refers to the President as a
weak, popular hunting man, and a low
politician. There is insult and discour
tesy in erery line.
This paragraph in the letter overshad
ows all the reft of iU
It would be inoxt important that you
should ag itate Hie question of commercial
relations, even tlxuieh it would ba only
for ctTect, and that you should send here-a
man of importance in onijr tbat I might
use him to make a propaganda among the
Senators and others in oi -position to the
junta and to win over exiles.
The reference to the President arouses
patriotic indignation. The cold-blooded
proposition to deceive the United States
w ith pretended reciprocity reveals to the
government the ntter useieesness of fur
ther waiting for Spain to achieve honor
able peace.
The Spanish Minister did not deny the
authenticity of the letter, and the State
Department immediately cabled Minister
Woodford at Madrid, asking for an ex
planation from the Spanish government
Meanwhile Ie Lome cabled his resigna
tion, whieh was accepted.
Spain has not disavowed responsibility
for the utterances of her minister, and
does not consider tbat any disclaimer of
that character is necessary.
It is claimed that the letter was stolen
by an agent of the Cuban Junta in the
post ollioe at Havana. Don Jose Canalejas,
to whom the letter was addressed never
saw the original. The letter was forward
ed to New York and from thence to the
State Department
Defends Asti-Kissing Crusade.
Atlanta, G., Feb. 13. Mrs. Joseph
Kingslrry, wno led the anti-kissing cru
sade here, has published another state
ment in which she defends her position,
and refers incidentally to tb kissing hab
it in the North.
"I am not going to deny my position in
the matter," she says, "and though I have
not the shoulders of an Atlas I will try to
bear the load gracefully."
She refers to an editorial in a Northern
paper on "The Abuse of Osculation in
the South," and says with reference b the
editor, "If he wants a story I will write
him one on the abuse of osculation in the
North."
"The South takes kissing," she contin
ues, "like other fashions, periodically,
and some yonng people yield to its fasci
nation. But the bulk of our Southern
girls and boys are carefully taught at
home all the good, old-fashioned virtues.
Therefore, there can beoaly a little abuse
of what under right conditions is a sweet
and dear privilege.
"A funny side to my dilemna has been
the approval of my views by the women
principals of boarding schools and semin
aries and their desire for my influence
in behalf of their schools."
KcSinley's Devotion to Mother.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 10. Shortly
after President McKinley was inaugurat
ed be appointed John W. Beidler post
master of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Territory, in compliance with the request
of his mother. Beidler had been for
years a deacon of tbe Methodist Episco
pal Church of Canton, and was a particu
lar favorite of Mother McKinley. The
politicians of Oklahoma commenced filing
charges against the old gentleman. He
was accused of the misappropriation of
funds while holding the sameoflice under
President Harrison, and Senator Chand
ler and other memlers of the Senate Com
mittee on Post Offices had investigated
sufficiently to their minds to disqualify
him.
The President has prevented the re
moval of Deacon Beidler and will con
tinue to do so, in compliance with the re
quest of Mother McKinley, w ho, up to
tho time, of her death, steadfastly refused
to believed the charges.
A Sew Anti-toxin.
Brooklyn, Feb. 12. Two Brooklyn
physicians have discovered a new anti
toxin, with which they believe they n
easily check the progress of pneumonia
and other bacterial diseases. They have
not perfected their method as yet, and
will not give full particulars, but they be
lieve their discovery will cure pneumonia
in its worst stages.
The doctors who have discovered tbe
new antitoxin are Charles Lundbech and
Carl Elfstrom. Tbe idea originated, ac
cording to Dr. Lundbech, with Dr. Alf
strom. They have tried the treatment in
a dozen cases, and Dr. Lundbech would
not tell how the antitoxin was obtained,
but it is said to be secured by an entirely
new method. Dr. Lundbech said that
the remedial germ was obtained from the
patient by the application of peculiar
methods. It is re-introduced into the sys
tem by a hypodermic injection.

Fublie Value sf Lawyers.
Ths annual banqoetof the Chicago Bar
association was held Friday night Febru
ary 4th. Joseph H. Choate,of New York,
beiug the guest of the evening, lie spoke
upon the subject of "Our Profession."
He said :
"I maintain' :hat in no other occapation
lo which men can devote their lives is
there a nobler intellectual pursuit or a
higher moral standard than inspires and
pervades the ranks of the legal profes
sion. I am not unmindful of that ever-
mooted question how we can, with the
strictest honor, maintain the side that
is wrong, aud the suggestion that as only
one side can be right in every lawsuit
we must half the time be struggling for
injustice. But that vexed question has
long ben settled by the common sense
of mankind. It is only out of theoontest
of facts and of brains that tbe right can
ever be evolved. There is one respect in
which the American bar has far outshone
not only its brethren in England, but in
t.ery other country of modern times. I
mean in its great share in the conduct
and shaping of public affairs. I believe
that with one consent tbe common judg
ment of mankind would o;nt to Hamil
ton, Webster and Lincoln as the three
American lawyers whose actual public
services had most largely contributed to
the formation and preservation of the
Constitution, on whose continuance the
hopes of civil liberty for all comingtime
depend. But at all times, and especially
in this, our day, great public duties await
us. So long as the Supreme court exists
to be attacked and defended that sheet
anchor of our liberties and of our gov
ernmentso long as the public credit and
good faith of this great Nation are in per
ilso long as the right of property, which
lies at the root of all civil government, is
scouted, aud the three Inalienable rights
to life, to liberty and tbe pursuit of hap-
pinoss, which the Declaration of Inde
pendence proclaimed aud the Constitu
tion has guaranteed, are in jeopardy, so
long will great publicservice lie demand
ed of the bar."
KcBinley Beady for War.
Tbe Administration's preparations for
the possible crisis in Cuban affairs, which
It is now awaiting with constant expect
ancy, in view of tbe appareut failure of
Captain General Blanco's efforts to restore
peace in Cuba, are practically complete.
The concentration of the North Atlantic
squadron in and around Cuban waters
has been followed by the concentration of
the European squadron at Lisbon, Portu
gal, the nearest neutral port to Madrid
Every provision has been made tbat
could be made for the protection of Con.
sul General Lee aud the other Americans
in Havana and other towns of Cuba, and
of General Woodford and tbe other A mer-
icans in Madrid and the other cities of
Spain, and for aggressive operations
they should be forced upon us by the ac
tion of Spain.
"Wewaut no war," is what President
McKinley is continually saying to public
men wbo talk with him about tbe Cuban
question. Tbe difficulty is to restrain the
Senators and Representatives who are
constantly threatening to try to bring for
ward the recognition of the belligerency
of tbe Cubans.
Consul General Lee is not reporting
three times a day, as he was ordered, but
his private reports indicate that there is
a very critical state of affairs in Cuba.
The present situatiou may continue until
tbe summer season, or it may come to a
head at any time.

After the battle of Waterloo, when the

Hefore eoncluiling our report, we ileftn
it our duty to interpose objections: to the
system of Isa kkei ping pme:iceil in the
ollice of the County Commissioners,
wherf by lsree stitim of the county fui:da
are c-areleaaly. if not il legally, drawn
from thecotitily treasury. It is manifestly
the duly of the ommnissloneia of the
county to draw orders ou tho county
tr?aiiry for every cent expended, and
not to wimuraw ititxts rroiu the treas ury
upon the mere prehentatioii of Lit 1st or ac
LMtinlH stamped " Approvetl by the Coun
ty Commissioner." We are of the opin
ion that the practice has resulted in great
injustice in the past, and it ia unnecessary
to point out the fearful consequence it
may have in store for the taxpayers of the
county if longer continued.
Dlijection ia interposed to iaatiiug orders
from twoor threedifTerent sources, which
of it-self most be rfg4rdd as unsafe busi
ness methods, as well as confusing to
those charged wilh auditing the same.
Ohjoetion is interposed to issuing coun
ty orders bearing interest, which we be
lieve has Ispen done without warrant of
law and to tho prejudice of the taxpayer
of Iheeoucty.
Objection is Interposed to tbe manner
in w hich the minute hook, in the office
of the County Commissioners, is kept. It
is farcical and unbusinH.like to make
a minute of the fact that tbe commission
ers met on Monday and adjourned on
Saturday, without giving tbe names of
the commissioners present, and a full ac
count of the public business transuded
by tlietn each day they were iu oession.
Serious objection is interposed to issu
ing orders on tbe county hressury f( r
services rendered by county commissi! n
ers and their employes before the same
have been furnished, as it is against pub
lic poliev and without warrant of law.
Objection is interposed to drawing war
rants upon the con t.ty treasury upon pre
aenUlion of unitemiwd bills.
Objeollon is interponed to letting public
contracts in secret w ilboiit public notice,
as we believe it ti be prejudicial to the
best Interests of Ike taxpayers.
Objection is interposed t the granting
of rebates npon taxes properly aud legal
ly asesed. without dne noliis?, as the
same is without warrant of law. andean
onlv be doue iu the interest of favored
parties.
And we further eertifv and find tbat
there is a balance due the County of Som
erset from ex-Countv Commissioner
Henry V. Harnett anil S. U. Shot.ero
f.HK) ml. amount disallowed on order Xo
3.VI of !S!ir, and w as issued in iirtrity
ment for metallic Die cases for the Pro
thonotary's nihee. U has not lsen made
to spoear tbat there was snv public nec s
sity for such extravagant expenoiturn ot
County fuuds at thai time; whereas it
., rvumrv A ndilor's Rervrt
ol rw-eiptsand experd-orra of .V.itierse
Cnuuty forme year 1.- " '
Treasury was at the time the order was
in a depleted oomLtion ; w title, on
the other hand, it appars that vabist ie
public property, life ew ' co,",''lt,",,,
to meet the reiiuirements of theProlh..ii
ol.iry's oilice for a nuintr of years to
rm., was thrown onl ; whereas, so far as
tbe books, papers and vouchers submit
ted for our itispeclion and audit, laillo
show that a single cent was paid into Ihe
County Treasury for the same; that tne
expense book kept by tbe County t om
missiouers did not ouuun an entry o.
the issuing of order No. 35U of lsiioaithe
time or during the audit of the receipts
and expenditures of said County for the
year ot lCi; whereas, il appears on t he
face of said order '. li tnst it was is
sueil by Commissiiiners lUrnett and
Sholr.an i attested by Clerk Kinert, on
IiecemberTth, W- w further believe,
ami l:sv been inionned. that order .
.Ui calls for a sum largely in excos-s of tho
value of property for which it was gi v en,
or for what similar properly could have
leeo. elsew here pun based.
