One of tlt mst cowardly attempts to coinpa i lie i l(t ot t'xpl. W. II. ban tier, w ho Is a candidalo for the Ke- piiblican nominal ion for the li-gii-lature. ia revealed by the following letter, which was handel to t;s l y one of the most prominent public school teacher in the county. At the ruiuost of the teacher who received the couiniun'.-Uioii we withhold h'n name and tho iit'.me of the w riter, aa the latter, ow iog to his official place is in a position to throw A)ltacl in the wcy of the f raier, the character of w hich it it unnecessary ta' mention : My Vf.u Sir: I knw you are a prf:t'.ional teacher and -n not te imt ii!tercsti. .Now m your opportunity to look Htier y.ur own iuteref.iK. fanner H a randiiiaitt; he ou record agaiiiMi aii ling Hiiolhcr tiionlh to the Hctiool term.

It w ill I up sgiin next winter and he will again tight it, but KTrt care must he tak?ii to keep this quiet; the tax payer are pro.l to increasing the term, as t Vntild cot a laree mu. aud are smart enough to knuw that they could get no more Male appropriation. A long term is w hat yi.u want. o look out for your.-lf. Se theotlier teachers in your tow nship. Tell no one w ho wiil let it out or tue enoi i w in work the other way. Just go to the ill and elo-tioneer against Sanner by BHying "the State Superintendent did not like San ner'a actions ou some school iegislaiion." Tiiis i- true, as this was lr. Schaelfer'a l-ill. The two canJi'bites on our sMe are Ixith right; vou can trust them. Ion't divulge and oliey instructions. Yours respectfully, "The two candidates on our side are iK'th right; y"u an trust them," erUin ly does not refer to Capt. W. 11. Sanner r I I). Miller, who are the recognized and acknowledged straight Republican candidates, nor can !hey refer Ui Dr. II. Clay McKinley or Amos W. Knepper, neither of whom i Ix ing auppiirtrsl by the contending party -rgsuizitions. The logi-al concluyion, therefore, is that "the two candidate on our side" w ho are in favor of inci easing the school term against the w ishos of a majmity of the taxable of the county, are not named above. Capt. Sanner's record on the school fju est ion has been consistent throughout with the expressed sentiment of a large majority of his constituents. The people of Somerset county have ste.tdfa.stly op posed an increase of the school term to more than six months, and Capt. Sauner has not only voted, but did such substan tial wo. k ia favor of his const! i jents that he thereby gained the hostility of the State Superintendent. It was largely owing to the inllucnce exerted by our egislative representatives Sanner and Miller last winter that the method of dis tributing the school appropriation was brought alxnit -aud through which the schools of Somerset county have been benefitted to the amount of ll,H7..i!t, or an average of r7 to each school in the county. Kvery taxpayer in the county should consider this matter carefully and in the light of the eonlideiitial letter quoted above, and then tuake up his mini"! whether his personal interests will be lest served at Harrisburg by a tried and faithful representative, or by a corpora tion lawyer and railroad director. Vote for Senator Qiay. The lH-al Wanamaker organs are quite certain that a majority of the Republican voters of Somerset county are opposed to Senator M. S. Quay, and call upon them to scratch his name at the primary. We d not believe that there isa true and con sistent Republican in the county who 11 scratch S-nator i lay's name, w hile w e lit-1 nuile certain that had the Million aire -Merco.int, who is iioing i: in his power to disrupt the party organizition. submitted his name to be voted for either for governor or the seuatorship be would have been overwhelmingly defeated. The best way for the voters, however, to ad minister a lasting rebuke to the Million aire Merchant is to scratch the names of his candidates, Messrs. Cook, Barron and ttood, w ho are seeking to tie elected dcle- utes, and the names of William H. Kooutz and S. A. Kendall, w ho will, if nominated and elected to the Legislature, in all probability vote for John Wanama ker lor tue I'niled State Seuate. Senator -iay enlisted in the Union army when a mere lad, and is the posses sor of a medal awarded him by act of Congress for distinguished bravery on the field of battle. Mr. Wanamaker was engaged in attending to his bargain-coun ter and building up his fabulous fortune while the war w as iu progress. Later on Mr. Quay w as the Chief Aid to Pennsyl vania's great War-Governor, Andrew G. Curtin, in caring for the troops from the the old Keystone State, and in upholding the hands of President Lincoln. Senator Qiay stood like a stone wall in the halls of Congress w hen the infamous Wilson bill, seeking to cripple and ruiu the great industries of Pennsylvania was u ldt-r consideration, aud to his efforts, more than to those of any other man, is due the fact that the industries and labor ing men of this great Commonwealth were saved from ruin. Il was Senator Quay whom the entire Republican party aud press of the coun try applauded for his magnificent con duct of the National campaign resulting in the eleotiou of President Harrison. It was Senator Quay to whom Senator Mrk Hanna appealed to take charge of the eastern bureau of the National com mittee, and it w as largely due to his coun sel aud efforts that the foes of the Nation's credit were defeated and William McKin ley w as elected PresideuL No Senator iu the Congress of the Uni ted States to-day look more carefully after the interests of his constituents, the veteran soldier, and the soldiers' widow than does Senator Q jay. Are the Republican voters of Somerset county content that his valuable services to the Nation, Stale, and party should be set aside by such scheming local poli ticians as J. A. Berkey, William II. KiSiutz, George F. Kimmell and others. Rr-publicaus, rebuke w ith your ballots the impudence of these party wreckers. Perverted Sforal Seme. The Wanamaker organs are attempting to create the impression that County Treasurer Winters has made himself liable to a criminal action by permitting County Commissioner Kimmell lo have fooo f county funds for a period of some nine months. The "fke" organ pretends to see iu the due bill given by Commis sioner Kimmell to Treasurer Winter a "receipt" for f -K), while Mr. Kimmell in a published interview ( evidently uot in tended for publication in vievv of the pul licaliou of a fac simile of his da due bill iu List week's 1 1 K it v i.: ) declares that "Mr. Winters w ill not say it was conuty money ;" another Wanamaker organ says "il cannot see how Kiiiintell violated the law." Well, gentlemen, the Hi itAi.n has dis charged a duty it owe J to the public as a defender of the taxpayers of the county; it has show n up how the money wrung from the taxpayers has Ixm ii squandered and turned to the individual use of pub lic officials and it is content to let the mat ter w ith the proper tribunal for final ii pirsal. Meanwhile the H fralii will con ti nue to expose the direiietinns of county i.t'.icil w he rever they can le found, f ol- ing assured that its course will -iie-esl with the approval of all hones; men. Impostors are at work in the rural dis trii-b, representing to farmers that they are in the employ of the Government as "enrol'dne .illicers." The name of the farmer is enrolled and he is notified that he will have to go to the front. Those w ho do not desire t g are t 1J that if a certain sum of money is pil nulisliiute can be provided.

The residents t f this place were aroused from -dumber at 3 o'clot k Saturday morn ing by the tolling of the Court b'mse be, whic h for some time past has lf"n used for the pnrtose of announcing the out break of fire. The scene of the fire was easily locntCsi by great volumes of llame aud smoke w hieh shot high into the air on North. Main Cro.s street, aud Iheglare ol the lUimos lighted thrt way to the pu tty residence of Joseph Gu.stiger. The tire companies were prompt in res ponding to the alarm, but arrived too late on the scene to save the building from total destruction. Tongues of flame were hhooting out of all the vviodows in the house when the fire-companies put in their apearaiice, and the thousand of gallons of water that w .ro flooded into the building were ineflm-tive. The air was perfectly ca5m and there was no dan ger cf the (luiu'is communicating with the adjoining properties, but, notwith standing this fact, the firemen labored w ith all of their energy agaiust tho nne- cpia! task of extinguishing the fire. Nearly the entire population of the town was attracted to the scene and several hundred men and women stood idly by watching the course of the flames. The lire was first discovered by neigh- Ixirs who saw i! lines in the south-east inrner of the building, on the parlor floor. They at once raised an alarm, and Mrs. Gastiger tnd one son aud a little daugh ter, who were the only occupants of the house, were compelled to flee iu their night clctlKta, so fiercely was the lire burning when they were aroused from sleep. The building was erected some two years ago at a cost of not less than $",.710. Insurance f l,3"l. Great excitement was created at eight o'clock Sunday morning w hen the fire- iann was sounded. The smouldering timbers of the Gastiger fire bad broken out afresh, when some indiscreet person rang the Court-house bell, instead of qui etly informing the members of the tiro companies. An alarm of the same character was sounded about It! o'clock Sunday. Xemotial Say Program Arranged for tlie Da't Clebrut on.

Queer Ideal of 0.'5oial Integrity. "If Mr. Kimmell saw an opportunity to ve interest by borrowing money from tne county treasurer, in embracing thai opportunity he probably did no more than others would do under like circum stances, and certainly not more thati others have done." From the Fake rgan. The above is a serious reflection tocaot upon the honest taxpayers of Somerset county. The fact that a county official, charged with creating and paying debts for the county, procured from the county treasury and kept the same in his possession for a period of from six to nine months, aud on the day he procured the money from the county treasury made a payment of fVK) on his private residence, may conform with the ideas of the ow ners of he "fake" orgau in regard to a matter of common honesty and oiU cial integrity, but it does not conform with the ideas of men who bt .ve that public ollioe is a public trust. Could the owners of the "fako" organ procure i-'M of county funds and divert it to their persona! use for a period of six mouths and hope to retain a reputation for hones ty and integrity ? We trow not It is gen erally understood that ex -Commissioner Shober, Clerk Emert and other attache of the commissioners' odi e have utilized county funds for private purposes, but if tho "fake" orgau !nows of any others it owes it to the people of the county to make their names public.

KOOUTZ IK THE SADDLE. Will Have Charge of the Wanamaker Head quarter- at Harriebotg. A PROBABLE " JACS POT" 03 THE SIDE. The follow ii:g interesting new s item is laken from yesterday's Philadelphia Tunes, the jourim! t rit ui.l the Ke pulilican voters of Somerset county to vote for "General" Kooutz as a model legislative candidate. "The supporters of Fx-P.ist master Gen eral Wanamsker have md all their ar rangements for going to Harrisburg to at tend the convention. Their headquartrs at the Commonwealth lioud wiil be in charge oO-Willioui T. Tilden Rudolph Blankenburg and Gen. W. H. Koonlz." In view of the pronounced auti-Wanamaker sentiment in this county and the persistent denials of the Wanamaker can didates that they are not candidates in the interests of the Millionaire Merchant, whose business interests are opialiy di vided between the great cities of l hila de'.phia and New York, it is somewhat remarkable that "General" Kooutz should Ik) announced as one of the gentle men who will bo in charge f his head quarters. The Plain Issues. The issues confronting the Republican voters at this time are so plain that they cannot Ixi set aside or disregarded without iullicting further and greater injury upon the entire people of the State and coi.uty. An organization of disappointed p. ace seekers, assisted by two of the most con spicuous city bosses Dave Marttu aud "Chris" Magee, of Philadelphia and Pitts burg respectively are seeking to get con trol of the Republican State organization aud to force the nomination of John Wanamaker, the millionaire merchant, aud unsuccessful aspirant for the United Slat; Senate, for Governor. Mr. Wanamaker's campaign is being c inducted by men w ho have leeii dis carded by Senator Quay for reasons well known to all reading members j the par ty aud their objx-t is so clear that no one can mistake their purpose to fasten their clutches upon the legislative bodies nf the State in order to accomplish their selfish personal and jMililical ambitious. Here iu Somerset county the issues are of a more personal and direct char acter The Hkk.u.d and other county papers have pointed out from week to week the perils threatening the taxpayers ifthe ahnsos practiced in certain rourt houve offices are longer continued. It hits been shown that profligacy has char acterized the management of the C'om sioners' ollice under the regime of "com bine reformers," who have utterly disre garded tho interests of the taxpayers. It has been shown that orders issued by the County Commissioners amounting to thousands of dollars remain unpaid be cause the hellers are unlawfully de manding six per cent, interest on them and refuse to surrender them until the interest they have lmen prom'sed has Isjen paid out of the county treasury. It has been shown that valuable i-oun-ty furniture lias loen thrown away by t je custislians of the public property and not a penny realized for the same by the county. It has lieeu assorted aud not denied that money paid into tho Commissioner' otlico has not lieen turned over to the County Treasurer. It has been charged by the County Auditors that rehab-s have been granted upon taxes properly assessed, in viola tion of law. It is au established fact that county contract-) involving thousands upon thou sands of dollars of county money, have been secretly let. It has been shown that valuations hp.ve j been enormously increased in dcp:e ciating lauds without- reason and at a time when the burden cf local taxation was never more oppressive upon the people. It is an established fact that taxes will lo higher during the present yer than last year, notwithstanding the pledge of certain county commissioners that this would not be the esse. it has been alleged, and the allegation C'.u lie sustained, that one of the present county ommissionars procured S-ViO of county funds ou tho HtU d ay of August, 1".C, which was not fully restored to the county treasury until the "J'tth day of April, lVis, and that during this period the county was paying interest on bonds and other borrowed money. The above indictment has been brought in the name of the people against mem bers of tho "comViine" that is now endeav oring to force tho nomination of their po litical associates and allies for offices to be, filled at the primary election to be held on the ttSth. iust. Can they continue to impose upon the voters of the county, or will the outraged taxpayers deal them a brain-clout from which there can be no recovery? Criminal Court. The regular .session of criminal court -onvened at 10 o'chx-k Monday morning, with Judge lmgene-ker and Associate) Judges Black and Horner on the liench.

The new system was devised by the last legislature and goes iuto eliect Juueti. It discriminates against the cities and other populous centres in favor of the country districts. Instead of dividing the state appropriation on the basin of the number of taxable in each district, it w ill hereafter be .distributed according to the number of teachers, tax able aud children. Under this plan Ihu districts w ill receive foo 07 for each teacher, 1.07 for each taxable, and Jl tij for each child of school age.

A Word to Cotamiltctaisii. An important duty dc-volyes tpon the Republican committeemen who wiil act as judges nt the primary election to be held ou next Saturday. Chairman Berk Icy has p!a-ed in the hands of each com mitteeman the necessary blanks and tickets for holding the primaries in their respctive districts, together with, a copy of the party rules, and the latter each commiticeinai' should carefully study between now and Saturday. The pri mary eles-tion oilicers are sworn to a faithful discharge of their duties, tho samo as are those who hold the general elec tions. We have no fe:irs that Hiiy in tentional irregularities or frauds will bo committed on the part of any of the cou:-luilte-emen, but there is dangr-r from lack of a thot(.ii!;!i understanding of the party- rules. At the primary of ls''j houdi i.'ds ' of illegal votes were cast I y reason cf certain committeemen mi-construing tho rules relative to what constitutes a ! gal vote r at a Republican primary. Ho u:i;'t have voted the Repub'.iean ticket at t-ie last pris-eding general e'.yetioii attil ::iustbea known Repubii'-an. Tue fact, thai a voter :pialitif that ho will support the ticket-nominated at t'ie fill election does not entitle him to a vote. Ho must have vote-d the ticket Kt the preceding general election, tif imiibf tills does net npply to parties ciuiiing of ng, or those who did not vote at the prcit-ding general election, providing they are known Re publicans. Adiiuie strictly to the rules. commilt'MMiien, and allow none but Re-pobli'-ans to vote. We are told that an organized e tf.irt being made by unscrupulous persons to have a largo numlier of DemiK-rntii; voters vote Saturday. This you must prevent. Again, on several occasions tickets not containing the names of all the candi dates have been circulated, and tickets on w hich the name of a candidate for committeeman has been printed. Tlie-se are spurious tickets and can not be le gally counted. The tickets sent out by the county Chairman contain tho names of all the indidates in the order in which they were announced, and the spaee under the heading "Committeeman" is left blank for the voter to write, or stamp on the name of the candidate for Coiniiiiueman forwnoin he desires to vote. Any other tickets than the'se are spurious "fakes," aud if any such are e-ast should not bo counted. Study the rules, committeemen, and adhere strie-tly to them. Beliability of The Foil Titusvlllc (Pa) Guard. The Pittsburg Post is one of the few ci:y dailies which is worthy of special mention iu its efforts to furnish tho most reliable news in connection with the American-Spanish, controversy. From day to day The Post has given the most reliable and latest information obtaina ble, and in so doiug the managers spared neither time nor expense to secure truth ful matter. Sensational ism is avoided by this enterprising daily in giving to the people the latest war iieuvs, with the result that when it is read all articles can bo relied upon aa being authentic and not highly colored or dra.vn from imagina tion, a practice indulged iu by many of our city papers in order to augulunl the sale of their edilijns. Whilo Tua Post is w illing to pay any pricj to secure the uews, it ulso insists that the information must be correct. This is th) secret of its great success and furnishes a reason for its wonderful growth. From Chiekamanga Park. CiiATT VNooo v, May :!!.
