The Somerset Herald. C D V aKD 8CTTLL, Editor and Proprietor. WKDN E8DAY- Xovember 13W. Did you bear anything drap? The mao with a hard row to hoe "Farmer" Creasy. Thk battle of 11)00 ia on. Push the fighting, Republicans. Soxeksk Cocxty Republicans were on the firing-line yesterday. The character assassins will now go behind the bush and kick themselves for having been tsueh contemptible fxils. All the talk about Barnett's feet be ing "cold" dida"t prevent his "getting there" with both of them. Was the Republican meeting Con gressman Thropp was billed to address called off on account of "frost ?" The "McJvinley League" should rat I'y. Their platform has been adopted. "A State Treasurer who owns himself" has been elected. Agiixaldo aud Lis darfc-fckiuued followers will derive poor consolation from a perusal of the returns of yester day's elections throughout the country. Bex Fkaxklix left J,000 to B-ton in 17!K to be compounded for a century, aud the money now amounts to &iou, 000 cash in baud. This form of benev olence is worth more attention. Bhkore hostilities opened General White wrote to friends that he had troops enough not only to hold Natal, but to end the war. The extent to which he underrated the Ui-k before him is surprising. Is the last fiscal year 311,715 erai e-rants arrived in this country aud ex bibiled to the immigration officers f-V 4U.4A2 in cash. About 20 per cent. were illiterates, an improvement over some former years. When all the truth comes out in re gard to the despicable methods used to defeat some of the candidates on the Iienubliean county ticket at yesterday's election, an ugly chapter will be added to the history of party disloyalty. It is stated that Sir Red vers Duller, the British commander in South Afri ca, on leaving England, announced his intention of taking his Christmas din uer in Pretoria. It is quite possible thtt be mil y do so. Some thousands of Bri' ah otlieers and soldiers are already taking their meals with the Boers, and at their expense. The Vpeilbicders' who were promt t ed by generous Impulses to visit various points in the county at their individual expense for the purpose of instructing Republican voters as to their duty. were greeted by a "frott" wherever they appeared, aud they only appeared at Stoyestown, Salisbury, Jenners, and Windber. At the two last-meutioned places they found not only "frost," but "snow." In the States wht-re elections were held yesterday the Republicans were successful in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Jer sey and Keutuc-ky. The Democrats elected a Governor in Maryland, de feating Governor Lowndes for re-ehc-tion, and carried Mississippi and Vir ginia. In Nebraska, Mr. Bryan's State, the fusiouists repeated their victory of last year. The elections pussed off qui etly everywhere except in Kentucky, where the Governor was forced to call out the militia in order to insure a fair count Aocixalix), in his proelamatk n, is correct in saying that Congress will meet in a few weeks, but be is wrong in his intimation that Congress will veto what he and his Democratic friends call the "imperialist" policy. Aguin- aldo's mistake is natural. Some one of his allies has probably told him the Republican plurality in the House will be only fourteen or fifteen, and this has given him hope that Congress will or der the withdrawal of the American troops, so a to allow him to massacre all the American civilians whom be would find in Manila and other parts of the islands. Before Congress is in session many days, however, the rebel chief will ltajn that bis allies are pow erless to help him. DtSTAEBLT T&ICZ.

The preliminary report of the Philip pine Commisniou, submitted lat Thurs day, gives the history of the outlook of the insurrection. It is shown that no promises of independence were ever made to Aguinaldo, but that the insur rection was the result of bit ambition to become a ruler. The report says : "Deplorable as war is, the one in which we are now engaged was nnavoijable by us. We were attacked by a bold, adven turous and enthusiastic army. Nj alter native was left us but ignominious re treat. It is not to be conceived of that any American would have sanctioned the surrender of Manila to the insurgents Our obligations to other nations and to the friendly Filipinos and to ourselves and our flag demanded that force should be met by force. Whatever the future of the Philippines may be, there is no course open to us now except the prosecution of the war until the insurgents are reduced to snbmiseion. The commission is of the opinion that there has been no time since the destruction of the Spanish squadron by Admiral Dawey when it was possible to withdraw our forces from the islands, either with honor to ourselves, or with safety to the inhabitant. "Should our power by any fatality be withdrawn, the commission believe that the government of the Philippines would speedily lapse into anarchy which would excuse, if it did not neoesittte the inter vention of other powers, and the eventual division of the islaudsainong tbem. Only through American occupation, therefore. is the idea of a free, self-governing and united Philippine commonwealth at all conceivable. And the indispensable need from the Filipino point of view of main taining American aovereignty over the archipelago ia recognized by all intelli gent Filipinos and even by those insur gents who desire an American protecto rate. The latter, it ia (rue, would take the revenue and leave us the responsi bilities. Nevertheless, they recognize the indubitable fact that the Filipinos can not land alone. Thus the welfare of the Fil ipinos coincides with the dictates of na tional honor in forbidding our abandon' meot of the archipelago. We can not. from any point of view, escape the re- aponsihilitiea of government which our sovereignty entails, and the commission ia strongly persuaded that the perform ance of our national duty wilt prove the greatest blessing to the peoples of the Philippine islauds." The report is signed by J. O. Schnr mao, George Dewey, Charles Denby and Dean C Worcester. With the submission of their pre'imin ary report to the President, meinoara of the eommiseion folt at liberty for the first time since their arrival in the United States to partly discuss the subject of their investigation. I wish you would say for mi," aaid Admiral Dowey, "that I indorse every word of the commission's admirable re port. I can eay this with perfect propri ety, for the reasou that I did not write iu It was written by the literary members of the commission after full and free confer ence between as. but on every conclusion reached we were unanimous.

McLean, and a rebuke to the infamous Phiiippiuo policy of the admiuistratioa, I feal that It has not been in vain." The Jones vote, which will not be more than lOO.OoO, seems to have come largely from the Democratic party. In Luces county, he home of "Golden Rule" Jones, where it was ex pected that he would cut an important figure, J ude Nash has a plurality ol 2,000. i Iu Lorain, a great iron-working cen ter, so heavy did Jones draw from the Democrats that in 6even precincts the Republican gain was 500.

The Democrats are wild with enthu siasm, while tne Republicans are corre spondingly depressed over the result, which tuey are inclined to attribute to treachery among the followers of Mayor Malster and United States Senator George L. Wellington. The latter ha: takou no part in the campaign and tr.t not hesitaied, since his resignation a chairmau of the state central committee a tew weeks a.o, to predict the over whelming detcat of the Republican party.

Johsstows, Ph.. November a-Daniel M. Peer, aged H. was shot and almost In stantly killed about 5 o'clock this morn ing byJJames Bucher, a merchant here, while he was trying to enter Bncber's store for the purpose of robl.ing it. Bucher surrendered to the police, hut will not be prosecuted, aa the coroner's jury, after an inquest held this afternoon, justirled the shooting, finding that, from the testimony given, tbe boy was in the act of robbing Bueher's store when he was killed. Bueher's store has been ransacked three times in the last month, and hwt night a window was broken and a suiiilwrof val uable articles taken. P.ticher concluded tbat the burglars were not through with bim, and determined to watch for them. He procured a ahot-gun and made him self a bed ia the back part of his store last night. He was not disturbed until about 5 o'clock this morning, hen he heard some one attempting au entrance. He moved cautiously to the front door. but the lutending burglar neara nun ami started to run just a i Bucher reached the door. At that hour of the morning the dar li nens was intense and Bucher could not see that the burglar was only a boy. He took rapid aim at tbe flseing figure and fired. A scream told tbat the charge uau reached its mark, aud Bucher, running to tbe staggering figure, found he had shot young Peer, whoj-e home was only three doors from the store he was trying to rob. The boy died on bisown door step within a few minutes after being shot. His moth er la prostrated with grief and is not ex- . ... . ii ft. I pected to live, liucner regrets iuai uis victim was a boy, but the general senti- ment is that be had a ngnt to protect ma property by shooting. Bucher has since been arrestea on a charge of murder. &rom 97rs. Suntcr to ?tfrs. tPinkh am.
