When some of the mischief he did is rectified Democrat say an assault is made on the "merit system." There is danger of the Populist editor or the Berlin Iieeord working over time in his iffnrt to earn the few paltry dollars that the Somerset "hosse" are paving him fur the use of his columns during' the present primary campaign. Yoc can't get candidates who wer "endorsed'' Ly the "bosses" to admit that they were within gunshot of the "compare notes" meeting, but the peo ple are on to them, all the same. And h)W they do wish they hadn't hetn "endorsed." The Democratic State Convention, which meets iu Harrisburg to-day, will be the most largely attended that has assembled fur years. There are almost as many candidates for the nomination for Justice of the Supreme Court as tiiere are counties iu the State. The Franklin county llepublican convention last week elected three friends of Senator 2iay as delegates to the State Convention. PranVlin county is the home of Judge John Stewart, fr whom Representative Koontz cast his vote for United State Senator on almost every ballot taken during the senatorial contest. Kenvioi: Haxna has given notii-e that he will not le a candidate next year for Chairman of the National Ite publican Committee. The astute Sen ator evidently thinks that it will not require much of au i-lfori next year to re-elect President Mclvinley. and that there is no ueeetsity for him to enter ou a vigorous campaign. And he is about right. The Erie county llepublican Con vention, held at Corry, Monday, elected four delegates to the State Convention, nil of whom are Stalwart Republicans, and adopted resolutiousendorsing Gov ernor Stone's administration and his action iu apjiointiug Hon. M. S. Q'lay Vnited States Senator. Every meutiou of Presilent McKiiiley'a mm was loudly cheered, and his administration was stronsilv endorsed.

Ik- Ed Hoover and r red Kiwe are . aoicobed to' represent the Republican voters of Somerset count- at the com ing State Convention they will vote for candidates with a clean record, po litical and otherwise, and they and their friends will support the nominees of the Convention this fall. If Horner and Boose are elected there is no assur ance that they will not bolt the ticket nominated aud oppose its election in Xovemlier. They are the personal rep r,"sentatives of Assemblymen Kooutz and Kendall, who brazenly proclaimed their opposition to party regularity and majority rule during the recent session of the Legislature, They openly took the position that nominations do not nominate, and that a Republican min ority is justified in uniting with Demo crats to defeat the will of a Republican majority. "The State machine snen Ir. -for ornamenting the public erounds at Harr.st.urs .S00.5!tU SC. and $1(W,57!) so for Soldiers' Orphaus' Schools. The old soldiers cannot afford to support Scull delegates to the State Conven tion." The above item from the "fake" or gan is one of its many illogical and nouseubical arguments against electing two Republicans who are firm believers in majority rule as delegates to the Siate Convention, where candidates for State Treasurer, Judge of the Su preme Court and Superior Court Judge are to be nominated. Just how these delegates are to control or affect State expenditures, the "fake" organ does not explain. If the "fakir's" conten tion is correct, then it would not lie safe to send its owner's personal can date, ex-Associate Judge Horner, to the Convention. He would simply vote the entire resources of the treasury to the pay of Associate Judges, and the public grounds and Soldiers' Or phans' Schools would have to take care of themselves. electing tbern, as they ere la honor bound to do.

SjFERISTZjDEXT FBITTS E2A2D raoac. Letter From " Soldier Joe." C a vite. P.L.April 3US. We kin i r thought that hen Maluloa as Uki tbe war would be eoou over. as that was the capital ana neaoouarieia of lb enemy, but they evacuaiea wmi out a content and moved farther into the woods so tuey would bo harder to tiud. Tbey lost very little when tbey loot their capital as it i an ordioary Pbilippiae town, builiof nipa huts aud an as mtuy as couio. tie. im u.diuiiiiiu buildings of which we had heard so much, soein to have existed only in tbe minds of newspaper writers, as Ihoy are no better than the ordioary native huts. But it took lots of work and hardship to get there. For seven days the. American army pushed ahead, fighting almost every step of the way, suffering from scant rations. foul water and an intense tropica! sun. and in the end received a "gold brick." "Aggie" wasn't there; no one willing to stand against the Americans, so nothing was accomplished but the capture or a miserable village. Since we. led the firing line the other troopi have caught up with the insur gents with the rwult that Aguinaldohas sued for peace, but, as usual, with a string to it. After a oonfereuce with the Amer ican commanders they agreed to surren der, but wanted permission to convene the insurgent congress. General Otis is reported to have replied: "Why, d n it, you fellows have no Congress. We will give you just time enough to lay down your arun or the fight gies on." The chances are that all will bo over io a short tiina, wheu the volunteers will get home and the regulars will do garrisou duty. Tbe record mate by the volun teers io the Philippines compares most favorably with tbe record of the regulars. Whenever there was fighting the volun teers were on the firing line, I; seems, however, that the home papers make more fuss about a little skirmish by the regulars than over a seven days' battle by the volunteers. A regular ollhr told Howard Cromwell aud me the day the advance was made from our entrenchments at Manila that he had often heard of men running their bends into a lion's mouth, but that be never dreamed that men would so coolly liue tip aud go after the uatives as tbe ohnilecrs did that morning. "You will never huar of my suying mother word against the volunteers," he continued; "tbey can beat the regulars all 'round wliw it comes to actual fighting." We all thiuk that the Tenth has done enough fighting, and that we should be sent homn. While we are not doing any ai-ti ve work at present, we are liable to be called upon at any time. Tbeadvauceon Malolos was about the hardest fight tbe Tenth was in. We started on the morn ing of March 2.1th, and ha only gone a few hundred yards from our entrench ments when the insurgeuts opened fire; but the line never wavered. We kept on the move for five day, fightin-r all the way, and undergoing all kinds of hard ships. General Hale reported that we had traveled sixty-five miles on this ad vance. Everything in sight was taken, as pre arranged. Tbe insurgent trenehes were simply models of engineering, and their guns were superior to ours, but they were forc ed from every position. We had six kill ed and thirty-two wounded in all this time, but had the aim of the insurgents been belter, there would hve been few Americans left to tell tbe Ule. It was a tsnible trip, through jungles and under a harassing fire, and the men clearly showed tbe effects of it. I can not un derstand how the natives live, with the horrible water they have to drink. The land is almost level with tbe bay, and not a drop of water cn be bad that has not a strong taste of salt. The country between here and Malo'.os, alng the railroad, is fine, level and fertile. The uatives ap pear to have been very prosperous, hav ing plenty to eat and wear, and most of their homes are comfortably furnished. All talk of starving them into submission is fiioli fitness, as they have more food thau we, and more than we can bring here in a yesr. Tbe only way to make them quit fighting is to kill tbem, and that is being rapidly done. It is evident that they are tired of fighting. Tbey ha-1 expected us to furnish them entertain ment for a little while, but they have ben pushed too hard to find auy fun in it The city of Manila is improving rap idly. Americans are coming in every day and engaging iu business. The city has been pretty well cleaned up and is taking on an American air. Yesterday I went over to tbe walled city to see Bern. Ben ford, but he was doing guard some where down tbe bay and I was uuable to find him. Cromwell saw him the day after his arrival and says that be is look ing well aud happy. I will look him up again wueu l liave an opportunity, i also expect to spend a day with Ensign Ku upper before we get away from here. He has been ou tbe move continually sime tbe war started aud it is dilUcult to find him. We were ordered to Cavite from Malo- ios and I presume we will remaiu here until ordered hiue. This is a beautiful place. Tiia to a is elean, the sights new. excellent bathing aud plenty to eat, but at the same time I have plenty of work. Colonel Hawkins has command oi the distriet, which includes thirty miles. Lieutenant-Colonel Baruett is in com mand of the regiment, but he is laid up at present. Nothing serious. I and four or five friends are considering the ques tion of returning via Sues Canal, which will complete our trip around tbe world. If we decide to do so we will leave here at the same time the regimeut sails, and after stopping at a number of places alon; the route expect to reach homa about one month later than the regimeut. "Joe." Tb would-b-"bosBes" are making a great ado over Governor Stone's having clipped l,0U0,O0O from the school appro priation and are assigning that as a rea son hy all of the county oraoea should be delivered over to them, regardless of the fact that State Iwiics are not involved iu the present campaign outside of the election of delegates. Accepting the fig uiea they present as being correct, the fact still remains that the alternative left the Governor was to build cp a StAte In debtedness, that eventually would heve to be paid by tbe taxpayers. In bis inaugural address the Governor wsmed tbe members of the Legislature that unless they provided by legislation sufficient revenue to defray the expen ses of the State government he would un hesitatingly, but regretfully, apply tbe knife to the school and other appropria tions. The gentlemen who are now howling themselves hoarse over the Gov ernor's action seem to have lost sight of the fact that tbe parties against whom thej protest so vehemently are entitled to the credit of increasing the school ap propriation in Somerset county to the ex tent of I10.9S7.01 for the year IStS, and a sim Iar amount for the year 1, or a to tal increase of f-Jl.97t.02 for the two years. It was largely due to the Intelligent and persistent labor of Representatives San ner and Miller that the method of dis tributing the school appropriation, which was formerly made on the number of tax ablos, was changed to tbe present equita ble and juBt method of distributing it: nne.f hird on the number of schools, one- third on thenumber of children inattenj- an-e between the ages of six and 6'ixteen, and one-third on the number of taxables. It will be remembered that tbe cities and larger towns fought the new method sav airely, and that the city members lined op against the country members of the Legislature, tbe latter being led to victory by Captain Sanner. The records of San ner and Miller, Stalwart Republicans, when compared with the records of Kooutx and Kendall, who acted iu har mony with the Democratic members of the Assembly throughout the legislative session are something their constituents can look back to with pride. In order that there may he noquib bliug about this matter and to show the hypocrisy of the "compare notes bosses' and their newspaper organs, we herewith reproduce from the report of the Super inrendent of Public Instruction the exact amount of increase each school district iu the (shi my received last year and will re ceive agaiu this year from the sehool ap propriation, in addition to the amount tbey received In 17, and the amount eacn district will lose in me years iw and 1''H by reason of tbe Governor's cutting down tbe appropriation. It will be seen that the schools of the county in 1900 and 1X1 will still have tbe sum of Jo.SlS-Ul u excess of tbe highest appro priation ever received in the history of tbe public school system, with the excep tion of the years 18118 and ISM, and that the claim that taxation will be greatly in creased hereafter is maliciously false. No less an authority than County Su perintendent Pritts has said that "tbe cut in the school appropriation will Dot be felt by the schools of this couuty, as it will be a mere trifle." Ali!i'in ...

Knrdered A Young Brids. Wichita, Ks., June 11. Mrs. Ray Hig gius, a bride of two hours, is dead, and her husband and younger brother badly injured as tbe result of a charivari party given tbem at their home near Watonga, Okla., Friday night. The party, compos ed of about 20 friends of the young mar ried people, refused to go when requested to do so, but continued to make deafen ing noises by beating on pans and firing shotguns. One of the party, Henry Randall, delib erately pointed his gun at the young couple and fired. Tbe bride's face and breast were filled with buck -.he i She fell, shot through the luug. and (' led au hour later. Tbe groom was shot in the fate, and a small brother of tbe bride was also wounded, neither of tbem fatally, however. After the accident the chari vari party fled. No arrests have been made yet. S 6.51 S 01 Only those districts are given which will receive a greater amount than they did for the school year 18!7. From the foregoing figures it will be seen that every district in the county will have almost if not snflicieut revenue to provide for an additional month school without iucreasing the sehooltax the fraction of a mill over tbe sch ol tax levied last year. Kvery sehool director in tbe county who does pot already know this to be the case can readily c rrol ra'.e tbs ab solute truthfulness of tbe figures quoted above giving the exact iucrease of appro priation each district received last year aud will receive again this year. D rectors owe it to themselves aud to the taxpayers of their respective districts to disprove the wicked and malicious state ments being made by scheming "bosses' that school taxes will be largely increas ed during the next two years, when the truth is that the schools are receiving more at present and will continue to re ceive more from the State appropriation than ever before in the history of tbe common school system, with the excep tion of the years 1JS and 1H99. The average school tax levied in Sam erset county in S0" was 5.1 mills; the average for 19&S, whea the schools receiV' ed $10,987.01 more school appropriation tban ever before in their history, was 4.81 mills, or a net reduction of (0.29) twenty nine one-hundredths of one mill.

Cassatt of this city was elected presi dent to succeed the late Frank Thomson. James McCrea, of Pittsburg, first vice president of tbe Pennsylvania company, was choseu a member of tbe board of directors to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Cassatt's election to the presidency. Mr. Cassatt's elevation to the presiden cy of the great corporation with whieh he has been connected for so many years an sod surprise in railroad aud financial ircles, as it had been generally antici pated that First Vh-e President Green would secure the honor. The board of directors, however, were unanimously of tbe opinion that the emergency caused by the sudden death of Mr. Thomson uld best le met by M r. Cassatt, aud that gentleman, after some hesitation, coucluded to accept the rosisinsibility. M r. Cassatt is conceded on all sides to be the man best fitted for the position. Like Mr. Thomsou, he has been connect ed with the company since boyhood, and baa a thorough knowledge of the road, iu resources aud business. In lvti be re signed as first vice presideut of the com pany, but was subsequently induced to besome a director, and since then be has taken a most active part in the affairs of tbe ooirrjiany, occupying, in fact, the position of managing director or "power behind tbe throne." It is no disparagement of M r. Thomson's ability or power to say that Mr. Cassatt's authority in the management of the road was equal to'tbat of tbe late president. So that, io view of this fact, Mr. Cassatt is no stranger to the duties that he will be called upon to preform iu bis new position. Mr. Cassatt is perhaps tbe best known railroad man in tbe country. and he will undoubtedly be a leader iu trunk line councils. 403 Filipino! Fell ia the Istt Affray. Wasiiioto. June 11.

It shows that the move inent was a great success, and that tbe enemy s loss was considerably greater than staled in the oress dispatches.

In the habeas corpus bearing at I'nion- town Thursday to decide tne rigni oi William C.

In her testimony Mrs. McCogan stated that she met MeCormiclc just before her marriage to John McCogan on March '. l-4, aud that she had been on intimate terms with him ever since ; she had not been divorced, but continued receiving attentions from MeCormiclc uutil tne night of the tragedy.
