The whole nation ruouras over the
awful sacrifice of human life in the
harbor of Havana.
Bbyan is aiicg -i to have cleared
f V),0Mon his bvk. No wonder he re
fused to retire froru the prune.
Now that the "fake" organ has apol
ogized to Jack Ilileman, that little inci
dent may he considered as closed.
The Pieniory of Washington will be
revered as long as this Dation lasts, and
that means till the end of all time.
Where such a multiplicity of theo
ries exists as to the cause of an explo
sion, the proper course is to wait for the
true one.
A rare compliment is extended to
Congress. Many papers are urging it
not to turn its attention yet a while to
adjournment.
Pennsylvania's local elections
prove that there are still more than a
handful of Republicans left in the good
old Keystone State.
The publication of Auditor Sipe's
petition to the Court before being pre
sented to that body was certainly a very
unusual procedure, and will not require
expert testimony to show that it was
due to an "outside explosion."
Jefferson Couuty Republicans voted
for delegates to the State Convention
last week, and the three candidates
who openly made the contest in ihe in
terest of CoL W. A. Stone were elected
by a haudsome majority. Every dele
gate thus far elected, except those from
Philadelphia, is favorable to CI.
Stone's nomination.
By an overwhelming majority the
New York Legislature has ceiibtired
that State's recreant Senator, Murphy,
for voting for the Teller resolution.
This will not induce Murphy to resign,
but it will show him that the rotten
money cause is as weak in New York
in HtH as it was in lS'.tfi, aud incident
ally it will tell him that he is terving
his last term in elective ollice.
Senator (Jtay has registered hU
name as a candidate for Unite! States
Senator in Indiana county, the home
of State Chairman Eikiu, and will be
voted for at the R-publican primaries
which tae place in that county next
month. Some of the Senator's friends
in this county are desirous that he an
nounce here and give bis friends an op
portunity to vote for him ut the com
ing primary.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
ItKieevelt siys "the United States is a
tie with (iermany for fifth place in
nival power among the great nations."
This is an effective answer to the igno
rant writers and talkers who nay that
the United States would be au easy prey
for Germany and the other nations of
Europe in a war with any of thone
countries. The fact is, in the quality of
its vessels and in general fighting
a'rengtb, only two nations of the world
England and France are ahead of
the United States. However, the naval
strength of the United Slates is far
bMow what it ought to lc. Lilteral
appropriations for the navy and for
c tast defenses should bj mu'b, and the
work ou Itoth liU-rally pushed.
It it now authoritatively announced
that John Wanamaker will make pub
lic, the latter part of this week, his de
cision as to whether he will beconi3 the
c ludidateof the Taxpayers' Uuion, aud
make a fight in the State Convention
tr the nomination for Governor, or
whether he will announce as an inde
pendent candidate aud fight it oat at
the polls this fall, or whether he wiljj
rot lie a candidate at all. JIjity'oT those
who attended the Ute llourse meeting,
.it is said, are ntrongly urging him to
run as au independent. The party at
large is not much interested as to what
decision Mr. Wanamaker comes to, but
the fellows who are urging him to be
come a candidate in the hope that if he
does he will put a large-s:zl barrel ou
tap, are intensely interested, as the de
cision will mean much to them.
Several of our fellow-to wusmcu
who attended the recent Bourse meet
ing in Philadelphia, called for the pur
pose of making John Wanamaker a
candidate for Governor, have taken ex
ceptions to the Herald's speaking of
the organization then formed as the
"Taxpayers' Union," and call the Her
ald editors falsifiers for so doing. Tiie
following are the resolutions adopted at
the Bourse meeting and published in
the Philadelphia Press of the day fol
lowing. We have from the "fake
organ itself, could higher authority be
asked for, that Charles Emory Smith
is the editor of the Press, and that it is
"thoroughly Republican :'
"Resolved, That we deem it expedient
to torra ourselves into permanent organ
ization under the name f The Keputili
can Tax pavers' Union.
"Resolved, That in furtherance of this
detprniinaliou the pro-i.'ent, vice presi
dent and secretary this day chosen be and
are herei.y continued for tbe year.
"Reoolved, That tbe president is auth
orized to appoint an Fxecni; ve Commit
tee of nine memlx-rs, who shall assume
control of aud shall conduct the ensuing
campaign."
If it was merely a-"conference" of
Republicans to protest agaiust Senator
Quay's leadership, why the necessity
of electing officers to serv? during the
entire year? Is not "General" Koontz,
the Somerset county veteran, as those
who do not know him term him, now
in Philadelphia arranging for the ap
pointment of an executive committee,
as provided for in the above resolutions ?
"A rose might smell as sweet if called
by another name," but why repudiate
the name adopted ? It certainly is an
inappropriate name so far a 'lie presi
dent and me rollers from this county
are concerned, but perhaps they were
not consulted when the name was se
lected. They might as well, however,
march out to sure defeat under a ban
ner inscribed "Taxpayers' Unionists,"
ai one inscri'.ied " Independ "its, "
"Half-breeds," "Kickers," "F.4k:is,"
or "Mugwumps."
He is Still a Veteraa.
Tbe managers of the Want makr
"literary bureau," in the "fake" letter
which they weekly send to the editors
of such country papers as are willing,
for so much per column, to try and
'f-ke" their readers wit- them, will
insist in injecting into them such ruia
aJatements as occasionally call for cor
rect k)ii. It will be recalled that in our
last iue we Lad occasion to advert to
this same subject. Of ourse, the id. a
of the writers is to give those, or son e
of those who attended the r.-cx-ut Tax-
payers' Union meeting title and char
acter to which they are not entitled, in
an effort to impress tle public with the
importance of the gathering, but when
th ?y speak of the president of the Tax
payers' Union, w ho is al-o one of the
owners of the "fake" organ published
in this town, as "a veteran of the late
war," it places the "fake" organ in an
embarrassing position. It is ready and
willing to attempt to "fake" its readers
in all ways and on all occasions, but
when it comes to a "fake" like this it
know that every school boy in Somer
set county will know that it is"fakuig,"
a-id while it can't ailbrd to lose the
smill compensation it receives for pub-li-ihing
its letter "From Our O -n Cor
respondent," it carefully "saws out"'
that part referring to its owner and
lets the balance of the "fake" go.
The following paragraph occurs In
the letter as published last week in a
number of our exchanges :
"Brave Independent Men.
What a different grade of men was
there that made up the conference at
the Bourse ! The" Independent, big
brained, manly men of the Republican
party. Veterans of the civil war, like
GENERAL KOONTZ, who presided,
and Generals Leiperand Stewart; clean
handed legislators, real champions of
the people, such as Senator Kauffman
and Representatives Crothers, Keator
and Stewart. Fearless editors, like
Zrbey of Pottsville, Hiram Young of
York and Donath of West Chester.
Manufacturers, likeTilden of Philadel
phia and Deemer of WiUiamsport, and
sinn through the list of country mer
chant, country lawyers aud farmers."
By comparing this paragraph with
the one as it apeared in the letter in
the last issue of the "fake" organ, they
will be found to be exactly the same,
word for word, except that one line
which reads: "General Kooutz, who
presided, and" but here the saw got
in its work on the plate matter in the
interest of truth. Can it be possible
tbe "General" is engaged in perform
ing the Jekyl-Hyde act aud is a "vet
eran of the civil war" when away from
home, while at home he is simply "the
'General' "? If 90 this might prove
hazardous even in these "piping times
of peace."
If it should be shown that the re
cent disaster to the Maine was caused
by Spanish treachery and war with
Spain should follow, Mr. Jekyl, with a
record as "a veteran of the late war,"
might le called upon to bead a regi
ment and then Mr. Hyde, "the 'Gener
al,' " would be forced to appear in his
true light as he did at the outbreak of
the civil war.
The Bnined California Grape Crop.
The partial loss to tbe grape crop this
year, caused by the heavy rains, is esti
mated to exceed l,0o0,Oi0, Farmers and
vineyar.ls all over the northern part of
the Slate have suffered, and shipments of
the fruit to the Fast are proportionally
small. At least one quarter of tbe crop
is lost. While this is 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 creat na
tional tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which renews the tone and harmonious
activity of the stomach, liver and the
liowels, counteracts a tendency to rheu
matism and kidney complaint, and pre
vents malarial disorders. Convalescence,
after exhausting diseases have run their
course, is often timeous and tedious. Ke
covery is greatly accelerated by the use of
the Hitters, which improves the appetite
and in: parts renewed vigor to debilitated
physique. A wineglassful before meals
creates a hearty zest for food.

A Funeral For Eii Legs.
A funeral train moved slowly into Cal
vary cemetery, at SL Louis, one day la-t
week. Tho hearse had stopped -at the
side of a new-ma le grave. Slowly and
solemnly tbe casket wa lilted out
and lowered into the grave as the preach
er said a few words of prayer. Then
heads m ere again covered, and those who
had followed tbe hearse and its burden to
tho city of laedead were driven away.
Rdward Iluebler was run over by a
train in North SL Louis. his arrival
at tiie City Hospital it was fouud ueces
sary to amputate both his legs immediate
ly below the hips. This was done but the
disp.-Mition of these members was some
thing which worried Heubler. lie said
he didn't like the idea of being separated
forever from two s:i ;U sood friends, and
so it was decided to bury them in the
grave which tin rest of him will oc
cupy m-hen ho is dead. In order to do
this a burial pormit was necessary, and
this was applied for Wednesday morning,
nd secure.! after a long examination. It
read :
"Legsof Edward Iluebler. Died, Feb

MTSTEST STTEEOIWDS "WHOLE
AFFAIR-
Captaia SigsbM at yet M akes as Btport Be
girding the Origia of (lit Disaster.
At M5 Tuesday night a terrific explo
sion took place at the bow of the V, S.
battleship Maine in Ilavanna Harbor.
Two hundred and fifty-one men are re
ported to have lost their lives, of which
two are officers and the balance seamen.
Captain Sigsbee, commander of the
Maine reports that twenty-four officers
and seventy-two men, many of whom
are badly injured, have been saved.
While taking tbe men from the wreck
age a second 'explosion took place at 2
o'clock Wednesday morning.
The battleship now lies partially ub
merged and Captain Sigsbee believe the
major portion of it can be saved.
The Captain says: "I can not yet de
termine the cause, but competent investi
gators will decide whether the explosion
was produced from an Interior or exterior
cause. I can not say anything until after
such an investigation has been made. I
will not and can not conscientiously an
ticipate the decision, nor do I wish to
make any unjust estimate of the reason
of tbe disaster."
Several theories have been advanced aa
to the cause of the terrible disaster. Cap
tain General Blanco believes that it was
due to the bursting of a boiler. Other
naval experts believe that it occurred
through spontaneous combustion in one
of tbe coal bunkers -near the powder mag
azine in the fore part of the vessel.
A third theory is that the vessel was
sunk by a torpedo.
This latter theory, while it has many
adherents, is not supported by any defi
nite facts.
The feeling throughout the country is
strong that tbe ex plosion was the result ot
Sp 8 nisb plot. Statements are made tba
the harbor of Havana was covered with
torpedoes.
It is stated that Captain Sigsbee was
warned to look out' for his ship; tbe
warning was written on the margin of a
circular of which the following is a trans
lation :
IXXO LIVESPAIX AND HONOR.
"What are ye doing, that ye allow your
sej to Imj insulted in this way? Do you
not see what they have done to us in with
drawing our brave and beloved Weyler,
who at this very time would have llnisli
ei with this unworthy rebellious rabble,
who are trampling on our flag and our
hmor? Autonomy b imposed on us to
sat us to one side and to give posts of
honor and authority to those who initia
ted this relielliou, these ill-born autono
mists, ungrateful sons of our beloved
c lantry. And, tinally, these Yankee hogs
who meddle iu our affairs, humiliating as
to the last degree, aud, for still greater
taunt, order to us one of the ships of war
of their rotten squadron after insulting us
in their newspapers and driving us from
oar homes. Spaniard the moment of
action has arrived. Sleep not. Let us
show these vile traitors that we have not
yet lost shame, and that we know how to
protect with energy befitting a nation
worthy and strong as our Spain is, and
always will be.
"Death to Americans, dath to auton
omy. Long live Spain. Long live Wey
ler." No sufficient evidence has as yet been
produced, the captain of the vessel has
not made his report, and the government
is waiting.
Kind words of sympathy have been re
ceived from many European rulers. Eng
lish newspapers express the opinion that
the disaster was the result of a Spanish
plot.
A Court of Inquiry to investigate tbe
Maine disaster has leen appointed. Cap
tain Saiujtsou, the President of the court,
is commander of the battloship Iowa,
now at the Tortugas.
The menus and facilities for sending
the bodies of the victims to the United
States are lacking at Havana, and Cap
lain Sigsbee advised acceptance of the re
quest of the authorities to make the fu
nerals or tho victims au occasion for show
ing popular sympathy at the catastrophe.
The Navy Department acceded to tbe re
q iet, and an impressive funeral cere
miny was held Thursday.
A report that has not been verified says
that tbe divers who have been working
about the hull of tho Maine have discov
ered an eight inch percussion hole in a
plate. This, if true, would show that it
had been caused by a torpedo. Tbe report
is not credited at the Navy Department.
In the opinion of Lieutenant Hood, of
the Maine, she can never again be utilized
at a ship. Tbe whole forward body of
tbe ship collapsed.
The explosion so disjointed and twisted
tbe battleship that her remains now ap
pear like a pile of wreckage. All thru;,,
per deck strucJi-e. u;its and guu, are
l - uap. and one boiler has been blown
out of its place.
As to the origin of the explosion there
is still a wide ditference of opinion, but
the coal bunker theory is iindiug many
more supporters than any other.
On tbe night of the explosion, when the
keys of the magazines were delivered to
Captain Sigsbee, the temperature of tbe
forward magazines was o!, and it is said
no high explosives wer9 stored there.
It is stated that tho Maine reached Ha
vana unannounced, and it would have
been diilicult, if not impossible, to have
placed a torpedo nnderueath the spot
u here sho was moored.
Secretary Ixng jositivcly denies that
Captain Sigsliee has in any suppressed
telegram expressed the opinion that a tor
pedo caused the disaster, or that it came
from an external cause.
Of the sixty-two survivors brought to
Key West by the steamer Olivette, twenty
re wounded, ten seriously, and one fa
tally. It is probablo that the families of the
victims of the Maine disaster will be
care 1 lor by the Government, as were the
survivors of those who were lost in the
Samcan hurricane, several years ago. A
resolution was introduced in the House
appropriating f t.Vl.OoO for this purpose.
Secretary Loug directed that despatches
be seut to the commandants of naval sta
tions and tbe chief officers of United
States vessels throughout the world to
display all tbe flags at half-mast un!il
further orders, as a mark of respect to
tbe olllceis and men drowned from the
Maine.
Monday morning the naval board of
inquiry into the disaster met at Havana.
The board is composed of Capts. Samp
son and Chad wick and Lieutenant Com
m uiders Totter and Marix. CapL Sigs
bee, commander of tbe Maine was the
first witr.esscalled. The board will make
a close personal observation of the wreck,
and will give out no information until
their report has been completed and pre
sented to the Navy Department.
Pending tbe olSciai investigation there
is nothing but conjecture or prejudice
upouwhichtoba.se an opinion, and, so
far as the administration is concerned at
least, there is au evident determination
to treat the disaster as due solely to acci
dent. And yet in face of this determina
tion there are but few persons who believe
the blowing up of the Maine was not due
to accident but to deliberate design.
The bodies of a number of blue jackets
who went to death in the wreck have
been recovered and divers are at work
recovering the bodies of those still im
prisoned in the ship.
The Spanish battle ship Vizcaya arriv
ed in New York harbor Sunday morning,
where she is vigilantly guarded by the
police and marines who have been detail
ed to watch after her while she is at an
chor in American waters.
THK UniS Six HILLIOSS.
Navy department ofiloials pronounce
the total lots incurred by the disaster to
approximate between five and six mil
lion dollars, of which about cue million
represntits the Ions through stores and
equipment. This total embraces the cost
of the hull, machinery, armor, orduauce
and the formidable batteries. It includes
the cost of ammunition, with w hich the
Maine was more amply supplied than any
shin of the home station. Upward or Ot),
000 pounds of powder alone were stored
ia tbe big magaziue, consisting of the
highest grade of powder now uiaoufact
nred for the navy. Not a pound, how
ever, was of the smokeless variety.
Had the Maine simply t titled cn tbe
bottom in 36 feet of water, without having
been practically gutted by fire, tbe chance
of saving tbe vessel might have been en
hanced, the experts believe; yet from
captain Sigsbee's statement the majority
are satisfied that tbe vessel will prove
a total loss to the navy, and with
her the best part of her costly armament.

Millville, X. J., Feb. 18. Thomas
Campbell, residing in the outskirts of
this city, is dying from blood poisoning,
caused by a pin. Three weeks ago, while
working in a pair of loose shoes, be wore
a blister on his heel. At night he foolish
ly pricked tbe blister with a pin to let the
water out. He complained of being ill
three days ago. He was told to seek med
ical assistance, but he refused, saying that
he could not alTord to quit work, as his
family needed the money. His condition
grew steadily worse until he was no long
er able to work, and when a physician
was called he pronounced it a case of
blood poisoning. His relatives have been
summoned, ard there Is very littie hope
of his recovery.

Before conchulipu our report, tvo doftii

fcystetu of Is-rok keeping practi.-ej ia the
ofhee of Iho C'oorjly t 'oiiitiiissiuiiers,
hereliy laree sums f tbe county futula
are carelesxly, if not illr-ually, drawn
from the county treasury. It is tiianifesily
tho duly of the oinniissioiiei of Hia
county to draw orders on the county
treasury for every cent expended, and
not to witnuraw minis iroin the treasury
upon the mere presentation of bills or ac
counts stamped " Approved by tbe Coun
ty CoimirsnKuier." We are of the opin
ion that the practice ban resulted in great
iiilusUec in the past, and it is iiiinecf-ssarv
to point out the fearful consctiuemt-M it
may have in store for the Uxpsyeis of the
county 11 longer contiuned.
Objection is interposed to issuing orders
iroiu two or inreeuiuerent sources, w hich
of itself must be ree-arded aa unsafe lumi-
11 ess methods, as well aa confusing to

Objection is Interponed to issuing- coun
ty orders liearine i uteris. L which wei be
lieve bass been done without warrant of
law and to the prejudice of the taxpayers

Objection ia interposed to the manner
in which the miuute book, in the ollice
of the County Commissioners, is kep. It
a iarcicai an'i iinoiisinessiiKe to make
a minute of the fact that tbe commission
ers met oil Monday and adiourned on
Saturday, without (riving- the naineo of
the commissioners present, and a full ac
count of tbe public buMiiesfi transacted
by them eacb day they were in sHsion.
Serious objection is interDose.1 to issu
ing- orders on the county (treasury for
ucrvices reuucreii oy couniy commisMiou
ers and their employes before tbe same
have lxen In mis bed, aa it is agninM pub
lic rwdicy and without warrant of law.
Objection is interp-ed to draw iujr war
