Although a comparatively young man, Mr. weller nas aeciaea inai he has arrived at an ags when be can forego the exacting work required of a snocestsful farmer. His sons will occupy tbe old home farm. One-third more county tax this year than last and a county indebtedness ap proximating 140.000 is one of tbe results of insurgent rnle in Somerset county. Tbe eenllemen responsible for this state of aTairs are busily engaged electioneer ing for tbe three K's Kendall, Koontt and Kooser. It wouldn't hurt to plump fe v questions regarding insurgent economics at the "spellbinders-' now exhibiting throughout the county. Nathan Cupp, of the South Side, will go to Addison, Somerset county, this af ternoon, and embark in tne lumber bus iness at that place. He owns about 300 or 400 acres of timber there and thinks be can realize something out of it. Mr. Cupp was formerly senior member of the holesale produce bouse of Cupp, Coder & Co. Several months ago he withdrew from the firm and since that time has been a bookkeeper for Love, Sunshine Co. Mr. Cupp has many friends here, who, although they regret to lose him. will wish him success in hi undertaking Johnstown Democrat of Saturday last. The prospect of the B. 4 O. Railroad impany making Johnstown a business centre for a trunk line tnrougi irom Erie seems to be very well fwi ll The story current now, says iteJ ihuslown Dmocrat, is that tbe line tmin Erie will intersect with the Somerset A Cambria branch here, thus giving tbe B.

Thia gentleman represented this coun ty in the Republican state Cuuveuuou last year and did bos duty so well that his friends not only here, but iu every section of the oounty as well, Q wired niui to become a candidate fur Assembly, as they were fully assured he would not re peat tne miserable tactics of the last ses sion, which practically left usi cuuuty without repiesentation iu that body. Mr. Howe lor a long time would not listen to these susgesti6ns but after repeated so liciution from his friends he agreed to make the cauvass, provided some active, sterling Republican who had seen active service in tbe Assembly would be placed on the ticket as his running mate. The party has a number of such, all bright, true, active, energetic Republicans, of whom ex-Representative Banner seem ed to be the favorite. Like Mr. Rowe, he was genuinely opposed' to oft.ri'; his name in the canvass. Finally he, too, was prevailed oil to announce, which be did a month or more ago. This com pletea our ticket for tbe Assembly and It ia one every Republican in the county inay well be proud of. Our people will again hear from Ifarrisburg next winter. They will find that Somerset county ia known down there through their able represenuiives, and that the richest mineral, lumber aud sugar producing county in the Sute can also produce brainy men who honor their constituen cy and who will obey them in carrying out true Republican principles on tbe floor of the House. Mr. Rowe and family came to this regum from the western states, a miner. Day after day he toiled at pick-mining as thousands are doing to-day right hers. Finally tbe offer of mine forenianahip came to him aud he passed a very suc cessful examination, after which he en tered npon the discharge of bis new duties. Kindly, generously disposed, he did his whole duty t the men as well as his employers. Swayed by good Judg ment that came from severe toil he made a repuutioo for himself that sent him up higher. He became a mine superintend ent. Modest, unassuming, possessing real merit, this new position proved equally successful nnder his rare roan gemeJt, and be next became interested in mines not only here but in tbe north of county. He is to-day as much of a miner as be ever was and the men well know that in him they have a man who will stand by tbem, often to his own financial loss. They have confl Ijucs in him because they have learned his mettle under the most adverse circumstances. He is a thorough business roan and will be a power in the Committee rooms where his rare judgmeut will have ample play and where all legislation must be form ulated, lie can state a proposition on tbe floor of the House, or explain knot ty problem in statesmanship as well as any man, but he is In no sense a speech maker; bia life has been all too busy for that All legislation Is shaped and for mulated in the Committee room. Here is where tbe real work is doue, and it is here where our county is particularly strong this year in Messrs. Sannerand Rowe. To show this more vividly, two years ago we aent one of the finest orators to the legislative balls the Stsie possesses. You know the resulL Cousider a mo ment and recall what this brUliant orator did for tbe county during the exaspera- tingly long session. Do you catch on to anything? No, for there was nothing. What little real work for tbe county was attempted was by the junior, not tbe senior, member. In all his relations here, during all circumstances and under all conditions. Mr. Rowe has proven himself worthy of the high esteem in which be has always been held and he will rewive one of the largest votes here that has ever been ac corded any candidate. Our people honor the man, respect him and will say so on the day of election. A man is beat known at his home and the vote he will get here will be tbe highest confirmation of all we have said of him. "SELF PBAISE STINKS."

Tbe scheme is to transport hi in and his gentle mate from the gulches and rocky ridges of the Western mountains to tbe kopjes and veldt of Laurel moun Uins within tbe borders of Old Fiatt and Somerset counties. There it is calculated he will eat to his heart's content of the good things that are abundant and grow sleek and fat. Then his fleece will be clipped each year and when be grows old his throat will be cut and his hide re moved. Lastly these clippings and hides will be turned Into dollars, sold for mo hair and high grade belling, respectively. This is the brief outline of a project to stock, the vast lumber tracts owned by U. C. Huston A Co , and J. O. Kytne, with Angora goats. Thesubject has been investigated by represenuiives of the firms mentioned, and tbe information gained is such that the scheme presents ibtelf as a money-maker. The experiment can be made at little expense, nothing more lhau the cost of purchasing and transporting tbe gnats from the West or South to tbeir proponed new home. The climate, according to a report of tbe Ag ricultural Department made last year, is suiuble. Tbe Angora goat, this report asserts, lives and flourishes in any cli mate. They are now herded in great flocks In the extremely coll climate of the Northwest, and in Texas, New Mex ico and Virginia. Connellsville Courier. Census Xaumeraurs Attention.

It is gratifying to learn from the "fake" journal that the interesting historical facta printed in last week's IIkralu, concerning the conspiracy entered into by a select band of ex -officeholders and an, bilious would-be politicians to take from tbe Republican voters of the county the privilege of selecting candidates for office and substituting in their stead can didates agreed npon in secret, met with the approval of the members of tbe "McKicley League," which was the out growth of tbe following call : Somerset, Pa., April 20, lfSB.

There's Just one remedy for you For some the official League" reproduced the Herald's ar- ticle, although tho "fake" journal tacitly admiutbat tbe facts therein auted were absolutely true and correct. It will be remembered by our readers that immediately following the exposure. last June, of tbe objects and methods of the "McKinley Leaeue." a oartv of snell binders, b'jaded by W. H. Koontz. F. J. ivooeerand I). J. Horner, addressed po litical meetings at Jenners and Stoyes town, advertised under the auspices of the "McKinley League," for the avowed purpose of "learning the people how to vote intelligently." Tbe refusal of tbe people of the districts named to be instructed as to tbeir righu of citizenship by gentlemen who hud in solently arrogated to themselves the power of naming a ticket for tbe voters to support for Sheriff, ProthonoUry, Register and Recorder, Treasurer, Coun ty Commissioners, Auditors, etc., appears to have bo rue good fruit in one direction tion only, for it appears that Assembly man Koonlz did not this year move that "the question of selecting Sute Delegates be Uken up."sinc no opposition is of fered to the election of E. E. Pugb, Elijah Livengood and W. U. Miller, but in all other directions the stinging rebuke ad ministered by tbe voters of Jenner and Quemaboning seems to have made no impression on tbe spellbinders. While the official organs of tbe "McKinley League" have been engaged for months past in denouueiug self respecting Re publicans who held a large Republican meeting last fall for tbe purpose of fur thering the election of gallant Colonel James E. Batnett as Sute Treasurer, whom they bitterly and dishonestly op posed, as "bolters from the county or ganization," they this week print an nouncements of a series of alleged Re publican meetings to be held at various points in tbe county, all of which, it is said, will be addressed by candidates Koontx, Kendall and Kooser. The object of these meetings can be interpreted In various ways. It is doubt less true now, as it was lat spring, that they are being held for the purpose of "learning the people how to vote intelli gently." That is, to repudiate the very foundation of Republican government the right of majority rule; to encourage bolting and party wrecking; to denounce a Republican Governor who is endeavor ing to conduct public business with safely to the people without creating a big SUte debt; who performed hia duty in appointing a Senatot when a small minority of representatives elected as Republicans eutered into an unholy alli ance with the DeinocraU to prevent an election. To vote again for Mr. Kooser for Congress in order that tbe conferrees of Somerset county may be turned over to the millionaire Montgomery county car pet bagger, who has been repudiated by the Republicans of Bedford county, to endorse the debauchery that attended the last Congressional conference ; in fact to place Thropp in a position where he can control aix conferrees and run as an in dependent candidate again. Could anything more presumptuous be imagined than this effort of three gen'le in en, all traveling under disguise, hold ing political meetings for the purpose of misleading the people? Tbe hypocrisy of the leaders of tbe "McKinley League" and the infamous "compare notes" meet ing fades into insignificance when com pared with it. It is safe to asy that tbe three eloquent orators will not underuke to enlighten tbe audiences they address as to tbe rea son why they will have to pay one-third more tat on their real estate this year than last ; none of them will refer to tbe big county indebtedness created by their fellow "McKinley Leaguers," of "com pare notes meeting" fame ; they will re frain from leading former County Com misiouers Kimnrell and Shober, who are responsible for this unwarranted sute of affair; no notice will be Uken of the conduct of former ProthonoUry Barron, althocgb an insurgent and "McKinley Leaguer" of high degree, who, it Is al leged, forced bis clerk.

The honest voters will not submit to being dictated to by millionaire city "bosses" and cou tractors, or by "McKinley Leaguers" and party wreckers. The thoughtful reader and observer can not fail to notice that the spellbinders have studiously, apparently, failed to advertise "political meetings" for Somer set and Meyersdale. One-sixth of the Republican votes of the county are cast in the two Somerset districts, w hile an other sixth are cast In the two districts of Meyersdale and Summit. Is it because the people of these four districts are too Ignorant to appreciate good oratory, or is it because they have set the seal of con dein nation upon sham and hypocrisy so firmly and by such crushing majori ties that the eloquent orators are afraid to approach tbeui ? Under the circum stances it would seem that tbe spellbind ers have determined to devote their at tention to only the smaller towns aud villages of the county, where they have nnwisely boon prevailed npon to make au effort to "learn tbe people how to vote intelligently," creating the inference that the votors whom they will address are incapable of thinking for themselves or of expressing by their ballots whom they desire to be their candidates for office. On May 10th, lftiO, S. A. Kendall, "chairman of the executive committee" of the "McKinley League," named the members of that committee, who, it is presumed, will act during tbe present campaign as oil-can -carriers for tbe League, and whose conduct at tbe meet ings and during the interval remaining between the meetings aud tbe primary should be carefully watched by the Republican voters.
