Many heretofore pronounced Indepen dent Republicans are rotcdly denouncing the "compare notes" meeting as tbe worst species of "bossisin" they ever heard tell of. and frankly and empbrtically declare that they will not Uke orders or surren- thair political principles at tbe dictation f certain Keullemeu who have crept into the ludependentfoid for the mere pur pose of usiog that faction for their indi vidual aud personal ends. One of the old time Independents w ho is most vehement n bis deuunciaton of the "compare notes" meeting, ho is fiilly cognizant of the humiliating facts leading up to tbe retire ment of X. E. Berkey, B. K. Pullin nd others from tbe field a candidates for the nomination fr Prothonotary, is Mr. V M. Pbillippi, Secretary of the so-called "McKiuley League." Mr. Phillippi open ly declares that the manner ia which udidates w ere choked off for Protbono try, aud power delegated to committees to fclaie candidal for f Yioiu.ia!onr and other placet on tbe ticket, was such rank "hoasUm" sa he could not believe any aet of men guilty of until he saw the trick dotie.

A L4B0EIKG MAN HIXSELT H IS A TEIE5B OF LAEOIL The Salisbury Star, a weekly paper of which J. A. Berkey, .Esq., John Q. Emert, Clerk to the County Commission ers, and Henry F. Barron, Prothonotary of Somerset county, are the responsible proprietors, ten days ago made a vicious and libelous assault on the Saylor family, of which James B. Saylor, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Sheriff, is a member. Among other libelous and false state ment made in the article was one al leging that James B. Saylor had acted the part of spy at a meeting held by (be miners at Listie, in Somerset township, and that be ia responsible for the dis charge of a number of the miuers em ployed at that place. Continuing, the libelous article says that Mr. Saylor fail ed to keep an engagement to meet with the miners. Five or six days afUr the meeting held by the miners J. A. Berkey, Esq., who ia managing the campaign of Say lor 's op ponent, Frank B. Black, visited Ltstie and made an address to the men, ia which be sought to obtain their votes and influence in behalf of his candidate. Mr. Black also visited Lislie and mingled among the men employed there, as it was perfectly right and proper that be should do, but notwithstanding the lilwlous at tack of the Star, the demogngic speech of Mr. Berkey and Mr. Black's repeated visits, a large number of the Liftie miners, more than two-thirds of the oters employed there, have published a aigne-j statement in which they flatly contradict every allegation made against James B. Saylor in the Star article. Mr. Saylor immediately seut IhesUte- ment signed by the Listie miners to the ostensible editor of the Star w ith a re quest that he give it snaue iu the next issue of that journal, which he has so far failed to do, notwithstanding that it was signed by more than fifty of the men em ployed at Listie. We uuderstaml that Mr. Ssaylor has placed the matter in the hands of his at torneys and it is probable that the own ers of that paper w ill be defendants in an action fir criminal libol. Following is the communication ad dressed to the Star by the miners at ... isiie EHtar Sumrraet Ctnntg Star. In vour issue of June 1, 189, there ap- 4 n anicln in which James U.

Saylor nail never been born. Mr. Saylor has acted manly and we are satisfied it is a take. It is a scheme, it is luienaeu to iaao me miuers and draw them into politics, which they do not wa it. what the miners are aner is oreaa anu butter.

This time it is at tlarris- burg, and the jury to be find is the grand Jury before w hom will come the cases oi those persous indicted for bribery at tbe instance of the legislative Investigating ' committee. It may be true tbls time, and it may not. Everybody remembers that when the Quay trial was so mysteriously postpoued in February at the instance of District Attorney Rothermel, it was sug gested, and in some cases baldly stated by a curtain coterie of newspapers that attempts to bribe or otherwise unduly in fluence the Jury bad been discovered by tbe district attorney, and that this was the reason for postponement. It wasn't true, of course, or we should have had it re-told many times since. The state- menu were themselves attempts to im properly influence popular opinion.

Mr. ajciviuiej win pay the borough 13,000 for the property he obuina anil tbe borough win pay CaDUtiu Miller $if for his Union street property. A delegation representing the two fire companies met with council and unanimously ag-eed that tbe Miller lot was the most advantageously located one about tow n on hich to erect a build ine (or the use -f tlie fire companies and for a council chamber. Somerset has so far failed to provide a suitable building In which to shelter tbe hose oarts, hook-and-ladder truck and other apparatus for fiehting fire, and it is the object of couucil to rect a building for that pur oose, as well as to provide a coun.-il chamber.

And What Will tbe Harvest Be T On Wednesday eveniug of last week the citizens of the quiet village of Jen nera were gently agitated when handbills were posted about the hoiel ami stores aunouncfrig that a political meeting, to be addressed by Hon. W. H. Koontz, Hon. S. A. Kendall, and Hon. F. J. Kooser. would be held at that place on Saturday afternoon, and that in addition to this startling array of orators the Berlin Brass Band was to be in attendance, in the nope that it could enliven, by some of its choic est music, what otherwise promised to he rather a doleful occasion. "What have we done to bring upon us this additional affliction?" was the thought of the aver age voter as he glanced at the posters ; "it is culy a few short weeks since D. J. Hor ner, J. A Berkey, and a few other Somer set 'bosses' were here to 'learn' a few of our neighbors, that they in turn might 'learn ns how to vote intelligently,' and now we are to be given a larger and stron ger dose; are we so densely ignorant, are the voters of adjoining precincts so much more enlightened than we, that the 'boss es' deem it necessary to hold two meet ings within two weeks, and send their foremost and ablest instructors among us to ''urn. us how to vote intelligently,' sud that the voters of neighboring tow n ships need no instruction on this score; why is it that Jenner is looked upon by tbe 'bosses' as snch fallow ground? but tbe musij, at least, will Le good." ' Wheu the time for the appointed meet ing arrived, much to the disappointment of the slender crowd that had gathered, the two chief attractions, "that gallant young Republican, S. A. Kendall," whose chief claim to fame, according to lis friends, is that he "couldn't be bribed by -j0O0," and the Berlin Brass Band, were missing. So it came to pass tliat the meeting had to be held by Messrs. Koontz and Kooser without the aid of music, and without being able to place on exhibition the star atti action to whom they could "point with pride," and urge their hear ers to emulate. As both Messrs. Koontz and Kooser had frequently addressed po litical meetings at Jenners In the past the former only once, however, since 1SS2 there war no great anxiety on tbe part of tbe voters to hear them, and the crowd that gathered if the schoolhouse, where the meeting was held, was neither large nor enthusiastic, and most of those present'were attracted by a desire to bear what possible excuse the eminent speak ers would give, both of tbem being pros pective candidates, aud one of them now being in office, for having set up a ''boss"- dictated ticket and adopting the novel and remarkable plan of holding meetings in primary campaign for the purpose of furthering the success of their slated can didates and widening and intensifying the factional feeling in tbe county. It goee without saying that Assembly man Koontz was the first speaker, and it was tbe things he refrained from saying, rather than what he said, that surprised is hearers. He told them that he was a Republican, and had been one before the atolition of slavery, but be neglected to state tbat at frequent intervals during that time he bad fallen from grace and had given bis vote and aid to certain can didates on the Democra.lc ticket. He out lined the expansion policy of the National Administration and pronounced it good. He gave as his reason for refusing to vote ith the majority of his party for the par ty s nominee for United States Senator that be was under criminal indictment at the time, but did not state tbat long be fore such indictment was dreamed of or brought he had frequently declared that he would not obey the instructions voted him by bis constituents aud would never vote for Quay for Senator. He said that he bad voted against tbe seven months school bill, and tbat he could not iuflu ence the 141 members who voted for it, but he failed to explain, and the thought ust have struck every one of his hear ers, that the reason why be was unable to secure more votes against the bill was that he had been acting and consorting with the Democratic minority on the sen atorial question, and, as a natural conse quence, was entirely devoid of standing or influence with the Republican mem bers! and again, if be could spare the time to come to Jenners to tell them that be bad voted against tbe increase of tbe school term, why it was that be could not and did Pot take time to speak against tbe measure when it was before tbe ouse. of which he was a member. He also failed, when talking on tbe rev enues of the State, to explain why bis vote was not recorded iu favor of the pro posed revenue producer, the Creasey, or Granger Tax Bill. Of the two billa tbat be introduced during the session tbe As semblyman had nothing to say, while be must have known tbat his hearers were anxious to have him explain what bene fits would have accrued had bis "reform measure allowing distillers to sell tbeir product by retail and without applying to the court for a license so to do had be come a law. He spoke briefly of the aims and object of the "McKinley League,' but refrained from stating tbat tbe first action taken by the "League" ou the night of its organization had been to "en dorse" certain candidates for county offi oes, aud to appoint committees to select other candidates foi It to "endorse;" tbst while its apparent aim and object were laudable, iu real purpose was to effect s secret political organization to which only a chosen few in each voting preoluct were to be admitted, and iu main object to dic tate who shall and w bo shall pot be can didatos for county and district offices, nor did be read the following invlutiop which brought together the solf -constituted 'bosses" at their original meeting, nor did be disclose what occurred at that time. When tbe speaker closed he was slightly applauded. Tbe Assemblyman was on to bis job. Jenner township bad been ploughed by J. A. Berkey, D, Horner, e at,, at a former meeting; bis mission was to narrow, to sroootn over the rough places, while the furrowing and seed planting' were to be done later on Somersbt, Pa., April 28, !. DrarSibi After a consulU'.ion with a number of our friends it has been thought it would be well for us to compare notes on i ues dav evening next at tbe ortice of J.

Mr. Kooser, the next and only speaker to follow Mr. Koontx. proceeded to per form his designated part by carefully fur rowing the ground tbat tbe Assembly mau bad so smoothly harrowed, and heartily endorsed all tbat gentleman bad said. He did not explain how his name came to be attached to the above Invita tion to a meeting to "compare notes" as to political matters in tbe county, and which the "fake" organ has expressly said was called for the purpose or arrang ing or slating a ticket to be voted at the approaching primary. Mr. Kooser said he "bowed bis knee to no man or aet of men, neither did he ask any one to bow hia knee to him." But in flat contradic tion of this assertion was tbe above letter, and the action taken by Mr. Kooser and those who met with him in response to tbat Invitation. Perhaps Mr. Kooser did not consider that be was asking any one to "bow the knee" to him when, on tbe night of the meeting of tbe "bosses" be, a member of a "eornuoitlee," waited on ir. D. K. Pallia sod other can lHatn .'or PrctboDoUry aa-1 'peruaded:' them to tot CMfof the way iu order that Mr. J. . F.mert tultfbt havs a clear firld. Nor did he inform his bearers why the "League," f which be ia a prominent iiiem)er, had endorsed" Mr. F.niert, w lio was eioploy- 1 as clerk to the County Commissioners hile bis faihr In-law was Commission er, some six years ago, and has been hold ing down that position ever since, at the snug salary of f 1000 per year, In an etfort to defeat Mr. M. D. Reel, a deserving young farmer and toacher, who has never eld public ofii s. V it bocania Mr. Reel would not "bow the kneer" Nor id Mr. Kooser explain w by bi9 "Ieegise" bad "endorsed" Mwwrs. Moser and Braucher for Couuty Commissioner and were now engaged in an effort to elect them and to defeat those two gallant old soldiers, Jacob Koontz and ach. Snyder, w ho also are aspiranU for tbat oftice.He spoke considerably of tbe "McKinley League" aud the good it would do in the future, but said nothing of what it had ne during IU short existence. How it fired candidates from the field and "en dorsed" others. Nor did he say how it proposed to elect iu "endorsed" ticket and control the rolitics of the county in the future. He did not give any expla nation of why the pay of the County Commissioners was almost doubled dur- ng tbe incumbency of his fellow- Leaguers," Sbober and Klmmell, nor did be account for the action of the pres ent Commissioners, two of whom are fel-low-"Leaguers," in raising the valuation of tbe land he was now furrowing Jen- uer township farmers from 30 to 4u per cent, and putting the owners to the pains and expense of coming to Somerset to have tbe wrong righted. It was a sly game Mr. Kooser was playing and ue wasn't going to tell bis hearers all he knew about "bosses" sottiug op a ticket and then trying to fool the people into voting for it, not by a long shot. He was simply performing the labor allotted him. J. A. Berkey and "Danny" Hor ner, statesmen and educators of high de gree, had told the Jenner people "how to vote intelligently." Tbey had ploughed the ground as It were, Assemblyman Koontz had harrowed, aud be, Kooser, was simply furrowing, so tbat later on Ed" Mostoller, "Christy" Schmucker, and a few others could "sow the seed," but it will still remain with the peo ple to say ou Saturday of next week what tbe harvest shall be. Paul may plant and A polios water, but it remains for another to give tbe increase. The silence that followed the close of Mr. Kooser's address was rapidly, be coming painful, when " Christy " Schmucker arose and read a resolution, which, by the way had been carefully type-written for him by a Somerset friend, endorsing tbe action of Assembly man Koontz during the recent session of the legislature. Mr. Kooser suggested that Assemblyman Kendall should be in cluded in the endorsement, and, after somo hesitation, "Christy" concluded to let bim in. He said that the purpose of this meeting was to pass tbe resolution and this being done it adjourned. If enner township Republicans do not vote intelligently" at the coming primary. the "bosses" will have expended a great deal of labor in vain. Popnliit Mannall J. A. Berkey "Beformort." Those two eminent political collabora tors, the Populist editor of the Berlin Record, and J. A. Berkey, Esq., who has lieen ineffectually attempting to break into the Republic in Couuty organization at intervals for the past four or five years. put their beads and ears together some lays since and the result was one of the most remarkable productions we have seeu for years. The performance pur ports to be an interview by Editor Mar- ball of Lawyer Berkey, but the matter is such a confused mass of falsehoods and issUtemenU that it is hard to discern just wben the wheels in Marshall's head topped buzzing and those in. Berkey s commenced to goaround. The Populist's wheels buzz gently at first, while those n Berkey's bead are whirring at a rapid rate, and he rattles off a quarter of a col umn or more about ring rule, political as sessment. Barker's Liniment, and sev eral other matters that he is remarkably conversant with when the Populist breaks In with the startling query: "The Sculls' say you league men kicked can didates off the track." Without slipping a cog or any loss of motion the Lawyer whin back: "That is a Scull paper campaign lie. ttvery anii-ocuit canoi- date who withdrew did so voIuuUrily, of his own free will, aud without compul sion from any source," and then still more rauid whirring and more stuff about campaign expenses, and winding up, as was to be expected, la "fits." Had not the wheels in Lawyer Berkey's bead been revolving so rapidly we think he would have been a little more guarded in his statement. If the candidates who were forced off the ticket by the "com pare notes" meeting really retired vol untarily, then some of them and their frie..ds told very queer tales a few days immediately lollowing tbat meeting. Every one who talked to Mr. Bent. Pul lin, or bis brother Tom, or to N. E. Berkey, or to Joseph Horner and bis sons, or to Peter Bowman, knows that their views on the subject weie in direct opposition to thone now expressed ty Lawyer Berkey. It must have caused smile to illumine the face of every friend and relative at S toy es town with whom X. E. Berkey talked immediately after be was forced off the track wheu they read Lawyer Berkey's statement to the effect that "the withdrawals bad all been voluntary;" but the lawyer knew whom be was a king to to he drew it with an unusually long bow. The eminent Mr. Berkey also enumer ates to his Populistic friend and admirer, a number of "reforms" that be proposes to inaugurate immediately upon coining into what he apparently deems bis birth right tbe absolute mastery of the Re publican party In tbe county. While be doesn't say so, we understand that tbat ancient mariner,Assemblyman Koontz, is to be quietly dropped ou some desert is land. F. J. Kooser, he considers a back number, a day-dreamer, a theorist, who can be relegated to a back office or pat off witb promise of being, sent to Con gress in JtJSO, or placed on the bench when Jefferson township becomes a sep arate Judicial district, and bis lesser fel low. "bosses" he will dispose of as tbe oc- O-ialon ri quires. Among otber "reforms" he proposes to 'prevent one man power In the party,1 which would uot rule out candidal Horper, as "m and tbe General" are more than one man; "to secure an boueet administration cf tbe party's offices ;" bow bis heart must yearn for that ; "and to see to It tbat state and national dele gates represent the majority of Republi cans in Republican conventions." Tbat last is a little beyond us, but we gues it i- right along in the line of "reform." Well, in tbe forceful language of a west ern politician, "Hell's afire and the ahcaU are out" , when Editor Marshall and J. A. Berkey take to reforming the Republican politics of the county. 1 Fiat Stock for Sals.

THE SALARY BILL A Fear Reatt.Df War ! TatpaTari of tir Caaty Urged That it Bo Mad a Lw. COMMISSIONERS' ASD JUDGES' FAY. ASSOCIATE Having failed to secure the relief hoped foi by legislative enactment owing to the failure cf the bill fixing the salaries of certain couuty oilnera by reason of tbe indifferecco of our AasemUymeo the taxpayers wi'.l beve it within their power to secure a Nitblul at d economical management of county affairs. Tbe increase of population iu Somerset county during the past ten years has not warranted the grett increase in public expenditures or tbe exaction of certain exorbitant charges, under tbe pretext that tbe same were lawful and In the public interest. There bas been no notable increase of business In any of the county o luces with the exception of the office of Register and Recorder, while the regular quarterly sessions of court have bad less and I-ssa business to trans act at each recurring session, but for some unknown reason the cost of main taining the court bas iucreased at an iarming rate, as we shall show here after. Not only bas the expense of main taining tbe court multiplied, but the same is true of the Commissioners' office. where taxes are levied and county ex penditures authorized. The Oounty Auditors have reported that certain monies received at that office have not been turned into the county treasury, and tbey have deemed it their duty to surcharge certain ex I'onnuis loners with certain amounts which they liege have been illegally withdrawn from the treasury, and for other ameticts which tbey allege were needlessly aud extravagantly expended. Not w abstaini ng the fact that the Auditors made the surcharges referred to more than two years ago, the present Commissioners have made no effort to have the matter complained of brought before the court and judicially determined, while on the other band a majority of the board of auditors as at present constituted at the solicitation of interested parties recently ismissed the attorneys employed by their predecessors and secured the ser- cos of J. A. Berkey, Esq., to pnsiecute tbe county's claims against tbe officials urcharged. In IW the total county expenditure was Jli.l,(lo; KMI, lS,liu; iss, ?ii,uuu; tJ5, fT-LOOO; lsjj, f.iO.U'O. Now mark how the expenditures fell off after the Board of Auditors sur- harged the county Commissioners for paying alleged illegal interest ou uor rowed mouey. Issuing interest-bearing orders, and extravagant expenditures. together with an admonition to conniict the cou tity's business on strictly business principles. - . In 1217 the total county expenditure was foti.OiW, and Iu l.sns il was JoD.licu. In lStS the Commissioners repaid fs.oOOJjor- rowed mouey, aud tW personal Ux to the State, three-fourths of which has been refunded, making the actual county penditure for lxug f4S,on0, in round figures. It is not our purpose to criticise or find fault, nor do we Intend, at this time, to how by a comparison of figures how and where the extravagance exists, ex cept so far as it relates to the manage ment that has pertni'.ted it. In lss." the three Commissioners who were able to attend to all tbe duties or that office drew from the treasury for the performance of their duties and all their expenses $1,327, and paid the clerk t-.H0.00. In ISM they pe.-foruied the same work in the same acceptable way for $1,G74 00. Iu 11, when S. U. Sbober and Geo. F. Kimmell were members of the board, the three Commissioners charged for conducting the affairs of the county and overseeing the same matters as their predecessors, JiLlM V), and an additional f 100.00 for traveling expenses. Iu IW'2 the Commissioners' pay was fX 409, and their traveling expense-, $17.- 10. In 1S3 they were content with $2,5;. 50 salary and $i02 78 traveling expenses. In 14 the Commissioners' salary was 474.50; traveling expenses Jl'JS 00. In ISSCi tbe Commissioners' pay waa In lfj tbe Commissioners" pay was f-2.G14.0O; traveling expenses, 249 IX). In 17 the Commissioners' pay was mi."!. In 18 the Commissioners' pay w $2,Sol 3ft. There is not au hour a more work in the Commissioners' office now than there was during the same months in lV-lor 10. No new duties or responsibilities have been placed upon that office. As sessments are mails the same now as they were then; Uisi are ollditel j nl the same now as heretofore ; appeals are no longer held in the districts, but at the court house, and with the single excep tion of certifying and overseeing the printing of ballou, the Commissioners have had no additional burdens imposed upon them greater than were the duties of Commissioners in 1S7S, wheu they re ceived the sum of $1,0"2 for their com bined services. This is one cf the reasons, and only one. why the taxpayers of th9 county have been so earnestly seeking to have cer tain county officers salaried by legisia live enactment, in order to gain relief from unbearable taxation. It is one the places where extravagance should be stoppi d at once. Another reason why the taxpayers of Somerset county have been so insistent in demanding the passage of a salary bill affecting certain officials of this county is the repeated rumor that a clerk in anoth er of the couuty offices receipts for $1200 annually, whereas in fact he is said to re ceive only Si00. Another reason why a salary bill should be passed Is furnished by tbe State re ports wjiieh reveal the fact that tbe two Associate Judges of this county have and are receiving over 2,000 annually in the way of compensation. The duties of the Associate Judges are not more exacting or laborious now than they were ten, fif teen or twenty years ago, wben tbe As sociates were content to draw tbe modest sum of from f300 to fkX) annually each. The State reporU show that Associate Judge Daniel J. Horner received in the way cf compensation during the five years he graced the bench of the county the following amounts: 14, fUS; !3, $10U5: 16, $1000; 17. $43; 18, (last quarter estimated) $740. A total of ft, Vij.OO. Associate Judge Black received for compensation aud mileage fur tbe year 18 the following : Salary, $753.00 ; trav eliug expenses, $!43 2X Total salary and traveling expenses Tt8 20. If we can't have a salary bill, can't we elect officials who w ill not make salaries secondary consideration when they have been chosen to serve the taxpayers. Farm values have greatly decreased throughout the county during the past fifteen years, but for reasons known only to the present Commissioners, valuations were last year advanced from 15 to 40 per cent., only to be removed when the real estate owners of tbe various districu entered a vigorous protest against the tax-levying body's unnecessary and un warranted action. Tbe suspicion shared in by a large number of the taxpayers of the csinty that there is something radically wrong in the Commissioners' office, where three officials aud a high salaried clerk are obliged to spend nearly every day of the year in order to approve scalp certificates and reduce assesrssd valuations, appears to have some foundation The eiamiuatfon for permanent certifi cates will be held at Somerset, July II, 13.

In addition to his allotment of blanks and tickets each Committeeman will receive a printed copy of the party rules, and to these we wish to direct par ticular attention. Study the rules until you are entirely familiar with them ; in thery you will find your duties fully defined ; and then, on election day, ad here to them s'riclly. The party rules are as much a part of tbe la of the State as any enactments in our statote books, and any wilful violation of them by a Ci.mmilteemau would render him amen able to the law. See to it that none but known Kepublicans are allow ed to vote. and deprive no one who has the right to ote under the rules of the party from exercising that right. Iu past years iutsiested parties have irculated lickeUou which were printed the name of a candidate for Committee man. This is all wiong, and should any such ticket be offered this year tlisj hould not be leceivej, or, if receive.!, hould not be counted. Again, iu some nstauces where Committeemen have had friend whom they wished to elect Com mitteeman for the succeeding year tbey ave permitted the nam of such candi ate to be placed on tbe tickets before they were distributed among the voters. This is wrong and unfair, as the space eft at tbe bottom of tbe ticket is for tbe purpose of a'.Iowiug anyone ilosirous of being a candidate for Committeeman to write his name there, and each and every voter is entitled to and must be allowed that right. Do not do auytlmig In the way of violating or evading the party rules. Iet every candidate for Com mitteeman, and every other position. ave a fair and honest chanco.
