Tbis declaration bailed wkb thundering Republiean applause, which was renewed when tbe Pennfcylvanian expressed legret that the Democratic party should thrive upon depression, and heartily endorsed Secretary Gage's action in mining to tbe rescue of the business interests of the country.

SHOULD BE PE0KFTXT KILLED Aide from the fact that it is against public policy to convey without remu neration valuable municipal franchises lor corporate or individual pi ofit, there are other strong and substantial reasons why the council of Somerset should re fuse to pass the street railway ordinance introduced in that body by Councilman Ogle, definite action on which it is an nounced will be taken to-morrow night. Tbe fallacious argument has been ad vanced that tbe propoted street railway will not cost the taxpayers of Somerset a single penny, but, on tbe other hand, it will prove of permanent value to tbe people, and therefore should be accepted by them as a charitable bequest from W. A. Scott, Jr., Esq., of Pittsburg, and his unknown associates. This argument waa not meant to be taken terinusly by counc.l, who have had ample opportunity to familiarize them selves with every phase of tbe question and whose first duty is to the people whom it is proposed to dispossess of their sovereign rights. It is needless to call tbe attention of council to certain natural conditions which, to the layman, seem to preclude the idea of erecting a street railway in the borough of Somerset without entail ing enormous burdens upon the munici ptlityand putting the taxables to great individual expense and inconvenience. When we point out tbat the roadbed on Main street, extending from tbe inter section of East street almost to lbs west ern limits of tbe borough, is higher than the sidewalks averaging from one to four feet tbe entire distance and thatthe water tables between the street and side walks are from one to four feet deeper thau the sidewalks, we refer to a con dition that mc.st be known to tbe mem bers of council, who in their drives to and from the Highland Inn have doubt less observed the contracted space which vehicles are compelled to occupy in traversing that thoroughfare, in order to do so in safety. It is perhaps equally needless to cite the fact that the water-tables along tbe street mentioned serve to convey the cel lar aud surface drainage not only of the abutting properties but of nearly every property on Main street from the public square to the Somerset House, and on Union street from the court bouse to the extreme western limit of tbe borough, to a point where it is deposited into Parson's Kun. Similar conditions, only of a more seri ous and expensive character, exist on Patriot s.reet from the Methodist church to the railroad station. A careful reading of tbe ordinance pre sented by Mr. Ogle fails to show that tbe alleged Somerset Traction Company has signified its intention to file a bond for the purpose of reimbursing tbe munici pality for the expense it will immediately be put to in order to widen tbe thorough fares mentioned so tbat thev can be safely used by the public, or to provide for the expense that will 1ms involved in pro i. iding new means (or supplying cellar drainage and for taking care of the sur face water went of Main Cross street. No provision is made in I h-ordinance for the payment of a sa'ary for a tiorougb engineer, an item of expense concerning which the members of council are cer tainly in a position to form an estiicste. No provision is made tbat the alleged Traction Company shall conform to the street irrades adopted by council, or tbat it shall bear tbe expense of doing so when called upon. No provision is made for tbe borough reserving the right to revoke the ordi nance whenever, in tbe judgment of tbe municipality, it will be tbe ptoper thing to do in order to protect the rights of citi zenn. No provision is made for the borough reserving tbe right to impose a tax on the poles and wires of the Traction Com pany in case it should become expedient to do so. The proposed ordinance fails to limit the number of tracks Mr. Scott and bis associates will be privileged to put down it fails to designBte the points where s a itches are to laid, if any: no provision is made for safety-mils fenders on cars, and the pattern and weight of rails to be utilized is not mentioned. It does not specify that Mr. Scott and bis associates bail file a bond to operate the rosd, if completed, or that they shall file a bond indemnifying the owners of the streets for any loss or damage they may sustain by reason of delay in the completion thereof. The truth of the matter is that Mr. W. A. Soott, Jr., Esq., of Pittsburg, bas tbe sublime courage to ask the people of Somerset, through their council, to pre sent him with portions of three of their most valuable streets, on which be shall b9 privileged to erect any manner of treet railway or tramway he may dee n proper, and against which the owners of the streets will be powerless to protect themselves. The alleged Somerset Traction Com pauy and the Somerset Hotel Company, with botj of which Mr. Scott is pro mi nently identified, seem to be inseparably connected. Citizens of Somerset who wete induced to pur chare building sites from the Somerset Hotel Company will 0 rtainly regard with susoicion anv ren- resentations tbat have or will be made to them regarding the beuehts they may derive from a street railway. Trnt Herald admonishes council to be absolutely sure tbat the rights and interests of the people, whose servants they are, are properly protected before they permit tbe public highways of the town to pass forever from their control. A canvass of the property owners liv ing on the streets it is proposed to irrwlu itously bestow upon a stranger eonvir.cw is that fully 90 per cent, of them are op posed to granting the franchise, while a majority of tbe remaining ten per cent, ire hostile to tbe ordinance iu its present hape. It is just as necessary that the rights tnd interests of municipalities be zeal visly guarded and protected as it is that religious congregation protect them selves from artful persons who hide their chemlng under the cloak of professed br stianity. 01eomargria Bust Kct Be Celorsi.

Reports of the past week of political developments in the state show a steady gain of the stalwart Republican element in strengthening their control of the Re publican organizations by success at the primaries and the meetings of county committees. York- county, where the insurgents have been claim ing everything in sight, has Just elect ed a full set of county committee of ficers who are in touch with the reg ular Republican state organization. In Lancaster the friends of Secretary of the Commonwealth Grelst carried the primaries by over 1,500 majority and nominated their candidate for mayor of that city, despite the fight put up against them by what is known as tbe anti-Quay combine. The victory of the friends of Quay and Penrose at the Republican primaries in Philadelphia and their capture of the Republican city committee and the withdrawal of all opposition to their ticket for of ficers of that committee, has been fol lowed up by the announcement of the appointment of Representative Charles E. Voorhees as chief clerk of the Republican committee of the Quaker City. VOORHEEd' NEW PLACE. Voorhees is one of the secretaries of the Republican state committee, and was one of General Frank Reedcr's most valuable assistants in the last state campaign. His selection was a particular disappointment to David Martin, whom he has fought politically since Martin jumped from the ranks of the regulars and Joined the insur gents. Voorhees is one of the best known political workers in the statet and his new position will be of ma terial advantage to the friends of the regular organization in combating the insurgents when the matter of the nomination and election of the mem bers of the new legislature comes up. The bulk of the bolters from the Re publican senatorial caucus at the re cent session were from Philadelphia and Allegheny. There were three sen ators and 15 Republicans in the house from the Quaker City who bolted the caucus nominee for United States sen ator at the last ession. It is now cer tain that there will not be more than two senators and five members with the insurgents from Philadelphia in the next legislature, a loss of 11 votes. In fi.ct many believe It quite possible that by the time the nominations are to be made there may be absolute har mony in that city and that there will be a united delegation for the caucus nominee. PENROSE IS CONFIDENT. Senator Penrose has written a friend In this city tbat the situation at Wash Ington is daily growing brighter In the case of the admission of Colonel Quay into the United States senate upon the governor's appointment. From the outset he has declared that Senator Quay's supporters have had enough as surances from senators to guarantee his being seated, however. The friends of the Eeaver statesman have been particularly pleased duriug the la3t week by the public announcement from Senator Cullom, of Illinois, that after carefully reviewing the law and the constitutional provisions bearing upon Colonel Quay's cce, he proposes to recognize the commission issued by Governor Stone and vote to seat Sen ator Quay. The Pennsylvania political oppon ents of Colonel Quay have been count' Ing upon Senator Cullom to vote to re fuse to recognize the validity of the governor's commission. They have been working upon the various mem bers of the senate and endeavoring to employ all sorts of pressure to have them vote against Colonel Quay. They have bad Chairman Jones, of tbe Dem ocratic national committee, canvassing among the Democrats and seeking to make the Quay case a party issue and have the Democratic senators all line up against Quay. The Guffey Demo cratic influence in Pennsylvania has been hard at work, too, against the Beaver statesman. But they have failed to accomplish what they are after. Several Demo cratic senators have proclaimed their intention to take up this case purely upon its merits and, sitting as judicial officers, they .ntend to decide the Issue without political bias, le&nizg or preju dice. Senator Kenny, of Delaware, is among those who have stated that the question of politics will not Influence many of tbe senators in determining this question. A PROFESSOR'S VIEWS. An Interesting statement showing the feeling among men of alalrs, stu ients of politics, who have no direct connection with party organizations. Is given in 83 interview wiiu President W. E. Abernetuy, of Ruthford college. North Carolina, who Is on a visit north. Professor Abernethy is a Dem ocrat, but not a politician. He eald: "You people seem to be much con cerned about the action of tbe senate in the Quay case. As a matter of com mon fairness to the states, and regard less of any former decisions of the sen ate in parallel cases, I cannot believe that the makers of our government ever contemplated the denial of repre sentation to a state, even for one d:iy. If the decision in the Corbett case be the constitutional view, then the mat ter should be cured-immediately by an amendment of the constitution." Kills Wife's Paramour. HrsTixonow, Jan. 17. The persistent attention of Joh O'Neil to tbe wife of Charles Robinson, a telegraph operator at Spruce Creek tunnel, resulted in bis death to day at the bands of tbe wronged husband. Suspecting the infidelity of his wife and having knowledge tbat O'Neil would call at the house to day, Robinson procured a 38 calibre revolver and came upon the couple in his borne nnawares. Without saying a word. Robinson com menced firing at O'Neil and when the weapon was emptied seven bullets were in O'Neil'a body. Two of the bullet entered tbe left temple and one took effect in tbe neck. O'Neil died without a murmur. Robinson then in an indifferent manner picked up O'Xeil's body and threw it into the street Mrs. Robinson's admiration for O'Neil unquestioned. Both Robinson and his wife are in jail. a LASTING EFFECT. This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim. Relief front the pains and aches of a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer, bat to cure a lame, weak or aching back is what's wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it. Mr. James McElbsny. contractor, of 75 Hillside avenue. Franklin, Pa., says : "I used Dean's Kidney Pills in tbe sum mer of 1896, was interviewed by a rep resentative and allowed my opinion to be expressed in the Franklin newspapers. At the time they relieved me of back ache and lameness and corrected tbe kid ney secretions. In March, 1897, 1 sprained my back badly, and a lameness just in one spot was painf ully evident. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills a second time, and from my experience and the results ob tained, I can conscientiously recommend them to the people of Franklin or any where else, as a preparation np to their representations.
