The Somerset Herald SCU5.L, tJitur and Fropriutor. WEDNESDAY March 8. ISW. Jcdce Day and Senator Grar, two of the l'aris Peace tVHiiiiiissioDers, have received their reward in the shape of a United States Judgeship. Fifteen thousand iroa workers in rit!UirR have had their wt-s a.l vanwl fifty ceid a ton. N wont;er the ctlauiity-howler refu-s to be com forted. It is wh:i-red alxnit that the sena torial deadlock at llarribburg will be broken to day. If it thould last over this week there is no telling when it will end.

Foreign trade and a Repub lican tariff get along together hai.d BOtnely. Tue new Director of the Ccusus is ex tiovernor William IL Merriman, of Minnesota. The present iucumbent has not yet finished the publication of all the ftafstics of the census of IsiiO. It is to lie hoped that Director Merri man will be able to do the work in less time than his predecessor. The Johuftown Tribune pertinently inquire: "Would it cot 1 well for the .Philadelphia 7V to ask Hrother In surgent Koontz to have a Iegisdutite Committee appointed to investigate the doings of the District Attorney and Judge in the Philadelphia Court, w hen the trial of the Quays was pof juried '." At a caucus of Democratic Congress men in Washington, to decide upon a policy, it was declared by resoluth O that the Democratic party stiji stands upon the constitution. A more comet way of putting it would be to say that the party stands still upon the constitu tion, and that it always will be found standing still. The President has appointed Judge John I. MePberson, of Harrisburg, to the United States Court bench, to sue eed Judge Butler. The appointment is one eminently fit to be made. Gov ernor Sione has uot yet indicated whom he will appoint ae Judge McPherson's successor on the Common Pleas bench of Dauphin county. A IX th E reports of the war investi gation -boards have brought forth the uniform cry of "whitewash." Hud the reports leeu exactly the reverse in their findings, the same cry of "white wash" would have lieen raised. There are two morals to this incident: First, the public is a hard customer to please; second, there are two sides to every question. The army b 11 has been passed am ended so that the author of the origi nal bill scarcely recognizes it. The fear that no bill autaoriziog the needed in crease in the army should be passed this session, thus makiug necessary an extra session of Congress, coerced rnem lers to vote for a bill they did not like. The new bill makes the increase last only until the jear 1901. Up to February 20 the total casual ties to the American army in the Phil ippines, from the Filipino outbreak, amounted to CS killed and SIS wound ed. Previous to that the record gave a total of 2K died of disease and killed by Spaniards. The casualties to the army sent to "Manila from bullets and disease is less than 700 for operations covering eight months. Both Republican factions at Harris burg last week surrendered to the Dem ocrats and unanimously adopted the amendment to the Superior Court bill providing for minority representation on the beuch of that Court, although it had previously lieen defeated. The Democrat in the Legislature r In & fiosition to demand favors and they are not alow in taking advantage of it. The next United States Senate w ill liave a larger Republican majority than the one that has just concluded its ses sion. The latter hud 4'J Republicans, ."4 Democrats and 10 lVpuiists, a Re publican majority of two. The coin tug Seuate is likely to have 5.1 Republi--aua, 17 Democrats and 8 Populists, Republican majority of 20 the larg est senatorial majority since the days of the Civil War, w hec there were no Sen ators from the South. The bill now befjre the House cm powering school boards to organize themselves into boards of health is a good bill to pass, tys the Harrisburg Telegraph. If it had been in operation some months ago there would have been do need to call on the State Board of Health to aid Bedford when that county had an epidemic very like small pox. The local ecijooi boards could have taken the matter in charge and dealt with the situation without auy outside help. The abuse that is being heaped upon Speaker Farr for adjourning the House ou Friday was to have been expected, says the Philadelphia Inquirer Men who bolt their party are no longer gov erned by rule or customs. Those who Lave been fighting the candidate of the Republican majority for Senator on no other ground than a personal desire to beat him, care nothing for the princi ple of majority rule, and they very nat urally criticise and abuse all who refuse to follow them into a state of politi ck anarchy. The bolters wanted the Hoose to remain in session after -the regular hour for adjournment on Fri day, the Speaker merely enforced the very plain rule, and there was anar chy. That is the whole story (a a few ords, and the fact can not be changed Jy threats aid denunciations coming tmrn men wfco, fc!ng taltsM, no lanpr rt-cognl rule. Speaker Farr, in adjourning the House, was entirely right- According to the rules now ia force the House meets on Fridays at 10.S0 and adjourns at 11. When the hour of lrarrives ic is only necessary for any member to call for the order of the day, and the order is a declaration of adjournment on .the tart of the Speaker. For the Speaker to act otherwise would bo to usurp power that does not belong to him, to ally himself with anarchy, to render himself liable to impeachment. No parliamentarian who has the slight est respect for his osn opinion could take any other view. Speaker Farr was simply obliged to enforce the rules, and the fact that he is assailed byisia tors who have violated party honor themselves is high commendation for the fairuews and impartiality of the Speaker, for in attacking him they but show their utter contempt for law and order. Ix THE Joint Assembly at Harris burg Monday only 20 votes were cast for United States Senator, of which Quay received 1 1, Jenks 8, Tubbs I. At Friday's session three of those who had been heretofore voting for Quay, Hersh aud Yates of Philadelphia, and Mackey of Lackawanna, deserted him and cast their lot w ith the bolters. This disaf fection from the Quay racks had been discounted weeks ago by the Quay managers and was a surprise to no one. While many of the bolters at the out start gave as their reason for bolting the party caucus and joining hands with the Democrats in the senatorial fight that they could not vote for Sen ator Q Jay w hile the criminal charges against him remained undisposed of, the practical abandonment of these cases by the prosecuting attorney does not seem to have changed their opposi tion in the least, and shows that this plea was merely a make-shift used for the purpose of concealing their actual motives aud of deceiving their constit uents. The friends of the Senator aud his political managers are still confi dent of his ultimate triumph, while his enemies claim that his re-election by the present Legislature is an impossi bility. The chances are that Quay will succeed himself or there will be no election. It is not within the bounds of reason that a large majority will submit to be dictated to by a small minority. Hucaied to His Death. Ks .State Treasurer Haywood, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, who was iudicted "with Senator Quay aud the latter' son Uicliard, will nnt he tried, for he is dead, ile lm.1 not teeu ia robust health for some time, and there can lw no doubt that bis end was hastened by the attacks of polit ical enemies who have been trying to ad vance their own personal Interests. It may lie said w ith a good deal of truth that be has been hounded to death. Men are constituted differently. Sena tor Quay, w ho has beeu pursued as no publio man has been in recent years, is still enabled to face his enemies. Mr. Haywood, with failing health, did not have the physical strength, and he has succumbed to abase and vilification. It in to be hoped that those who have been conducting on the stump the most mon strous campaign of slander and falsehood in the history of the State are satisfied as far as Haywood is concerned. He is dead, and they can gloat over it in their secret conclaves if they will. But Quay is alive and still in a condition to defy tlieiu. And yet it is a wonder that he is so, far he has been made the victim of eonlinu oos abuse. A inoxt dwperate campaign has been waged against him. From every stump he ban been charged with every crime, and lying tongues have lashed him with their venom in the hope that organ ized hypocrisy might gain personal ad vantage by bis downfall. Organized by pocrisy is rid of Haywot!, and one era readily imagine the riotous glee tbut would prevail in some quarters could Quay be driven into his grave. Tn.it time has not come, and we venture to predict that Quay will live to triumph over the character assassins and the hyp ocrilical vilitiers, for nothing more disas Irons could overtake this State than its surrender to pretenders.

Every warship in the world, of what ever Power, from this ou, must be the first to dip its ring on meeting Admiral Dewey's flagship, for he is the highest naval officer afloat His salute is seven teen guns and he will fly the admiral's flag of four stars, placed diagonally on a navy blue field, and will wear epau lettes decorated by four embroidered stars, the end stars being worked over four anchors. Admiral Dewey, as well, ranks above every officer in the United States army, including Major General Miles, and in, therefore, in supreme command in the Philippines and in every joint action of the navy and army. If all the fleets of the world, as tbey are now officered, should gather for a celebration or display, every foreign flag would be lowered to Admiral Dewey, and hia flagship would lead the procession.

This nomination was also canfirmed by the Senate, and Secretary Alger seut the following measage to Gen.

Hobion's Promotion. A dispatch from Washington says: The President's nomination of Richmoud Pearson Hobson, to be advanced ten num bers from No. 1 on the list of assistant naval constructors, it is said by naval officers to constitute the greatest material promotion as a recognition of gallantry in Ihe history of the naval serv'ce. It will make Hobson a captain at tha age of 30. His advancement amounts to 250 numbers in the line of the navy, which is remarkable in comparison with the single number secured by Admiral Dewey, eight numbers by Admiral Samp son and from three to five each by other officers during the war with Spain. When it was proposed to promote Hobson to the foot of the grade of lieutenant com manders, the "jump" amounted to about 150 numbers only, hut under the nomi nation made yesterday Hobson skips over all tbe lieutenant commanders and goes nearly to the top of the commanders' list, so far aa relative rank is concerned.

Again Grandy demanded that she make a choice. Then the girl declared her love for Cole. Instantly Grandy drew a revolver. Cole jumped forward and grabbed tbe weapon. Then there was a struggle for tbe posses sion of tbe pistol, and after five minutes Grandy disengaged himself, still grasp ing tbe weapon, aud aimed at his rival. The girl sprang forward and interposed her body to shield her lover. Grandy pushed tbe weapon under tbe girl's arm and fired at Cole. He dropped dead.

A high official of the German naval denartinent says that the appoiutment of Prince Henry o, Prussia, brother of the emperor, to tbi command of the East Asiatic fquajron was decided upon as being the most available, the emperor desiring to show ths American people that he is thorough ly friendly to them, knowing that Prine Henry is popular in the I'nited States. When the official referred to was asked whether the appoiir.meut wits equivalent to tbe disgrace of Admiral von Diedriehs he said; "Not exactly. Our government unfoi Innately was advised toolateofs number of occurrences before Manila, none of which were really important; but they showed grave want of tact epoi Admiral von Deidricb's part. The main trouble was that Admiral von Deidricb was insufficiently iuformed regarding in ternational naval nsagea in such a deli cats situation. Consequently' he contin ued naval movements, drill and searc. light practice as if elsewhere tbau io a blockaded port, thus arousing distrust upon the part of the Americana."

ORGANIZE A "RUMP" HOUSE. Au Attempt to Discredit the Hesrular IiepubllcanOrintnlzatlon and Speak er Karr Meet With Popular Coa-Ut-lunation. (Special Correspondence.) HsrrisbiiDt. Mitr.b T. The bolting Rcpuhliraus In the Icjcislatnre under the leadership of Ikjsws Martin ami Fliim made a scandalous record tor themselves last week. Without the slightest justifi cation they attempted to organize a "rump" meeting of the bouse of repre sentatives. Taking a ruling or tbe chair as a pre text to make trouble, as was done on the previous break in the senatorial con vention, tbe insurgents organized what was practically a mass meetiuir after th house was adjourned last Friday. The l-ltins Republican, with their IH-mo-crntic allies eseintr them on, soncht " discredit John R. Farr, the seker of the honpp, and Io contribute to a sen sitliotKtl yeiie wilh the pnroc of injur ing Senator Quay in his cauvass for re elect ion. Never was a scheme for the breaking up of a ward political convention hi the baliwlclcs of either of these two bosses worked so boldly. For a while tbe lead ers of the rump meeting actually as sumed to te conducting the piweediucs of a rcsrnlarly organized and properly constituted branch of the sreneral as sembly. When they came to their sobor sensj-s, however, as they did after their previous bolting exjaTience, tbey realized tlirt they had no leiral standing as a Uly. thut their action was unwarranted nti'l revolutionary, and if carried mmh farther might have h"d to serious con sequence to the men who assumed to usurp tbe positions of the rcguulrly chfted officers of the house. MI ST HAVE TROFBLE. Mutters had Ut n goiug along entirely tts smoothly for the bolters. Their var ious attempts at sensational plays had all fallen flat. Tbey were evidently reaming for an opsirtunity to fijrnre aicaiu, to disconcert the regular Republi cans and to excite public sympathy for their cause. Tbe thin reform veneer of this Flinti-Msrtin-Wanainaker outfit lunl wont off Ion:: a so. The whole state bud sized up the entire outfit. The servile followers of Fliim. iu the west, and of Martin in the east, all politicians of the most practical school, and the disap pointed and disrcnthsl candidates for the KKakership, Biiss of IH-laware and Kisintx of Somerset, and the others in this queer tontiut'eut of "business men in isilitii-s." had all Isss.me known to th in-oiIc. Their filibustering tactics for nets in the McCarreil bill tiidit bud seriously iinHiled lepislation. They re ulix 1 that they were beiu? generally condemned, and esMria!ly by the Re- inibiicans who believe in arty supremacy and in the rule of the majority and who have in every county In the state given etression to their disgnst at the man euvcritis of tbe men seeking to defeat the regular nominee of the Republican mucus for the scnatorship. The row occurred when Repreucnta five Marshall, of Allegheny, at 11 o'clock in the morning, called "the order of tbe day," which, under the rules of the house, meant adjournment. There bail Ihh'U a filibustering move made ea rlier in I he morning by Representative Slater de mamlim: the reading of tne journal. The bolters had a scheme set up to spring a iot of sensational resolution criticizing the action of tbe committee appoiuted to investigate the charges of bribery af fc-cting the McCarreil jury bill vote. The cegulnrs were determined to block this move. If possible, knowing that it was . mere play for the gailerics and also iiiit the investigators bnd planned to ptish their work in the afternoon. Pi eaker parr gave a decision thst under the rules the house, upon Mr. Marshall's rs 11, stood adjvnrncd. The bolters, with 151i: of Delawa.e in the chair, af terward held a meeting, in which they denounced the s)M'aker aud appointed a .onmiittif to draft resolutions con demning his action- Tbe meetiug wa made up mostly of Democrats, with the tsItiiig licpuhlicnn doing the talking. They had uot a quorum, however, though they talked wildly a Unit electing a new speaker. It was all done to create d'ts cord and to discredit the regular Re publican organization. THK SPEAKER'S STATEMENT. SM'iikT Furr naturally feels pained that iu order to carry out a game of politic, the men who led the rump pro ceedings should attempt to place him iu a false position before the people of th- state.
