The several aspiring attorneys who
are preparing to run for President Judge
in 1901 betray a very poor conception
of Br'er Kooser'a wind.
Governor Roosevelt's boom for
Vice President grows with uuch rapidi
ty that he is obliged to turn out about
twice a week aud run the lawn mower
over it.
The power of a Legislature to take
away from the people the right to
elect State officers is the point at issue
in Kentucky. If Goebelism prevails
the ballot box becomes a memory.
Some of the men in Kentucky ac
cased of the murder cf Goebel have
wcu red a change of venue and will be
tried away from the scene cf assassina
tion, where men are not eo hot-headed.
The "McKiuley League" hiHild
ratify. One of its fondest witdiea has
len cr.suininated. Pennsylvania has
a "State Treasurer who owns himself."
Col. James E. Barnett was iuducted
into office Monday.
Coi Jas. E. Barnett, whom the
insurgents of the State did their ut
most to defeat, became State Treasurer
Monday, succeeding lion. James 8
Beacom. Mr. Beacom turned over to
Lis successor a balance of more than
three millions of dollars.
Xow fiat the smoke of battle has
cleared away, the monumental frauds
attempted aud perpetrated by the in
eurgenls at the recent primary election
stand out in bold relief. When Sena'
tor Flinn presented bis "primary elec
tion reform" resolutions to the recent
State Convention he apparently had
his insurgent associates from Somerset
county in mind, especially he of
"loving cup" fatue.
" It is hard to learn an old dog new
tricks," is a familiar saying. Ex
Assemblyman Koonti, when yet a
young man, was a candidate for Con
gress again -it A. II. ColIYoth, Eq.
Oiffrotu was declared elected and
Koontz contested his election. Now,
in his oi J age, h&viug outlived the al
lotted time of man, the trick a quired
in his early youth still clings to him
and he is engaged in a contest for a
nomination for which he was defeated
by a pronounced majority of the vote?
cast at the primary, ile can only hope
to win by a triok, a technicality; by
the disfranchisement of several hun
dred of his fellow citizen. Verily, the
habits acquired lit youth are hard to
shake off in after life.
On the rnorniug of tbe recent pn
mary election a number of tbe qu&iinVd
Republican elector of Ogle town?h'p
tttrved notice on the gentleman whom
J. A. Ikrkey had appointed Commit
teeman, without warrant of law, tht
they proposed to eletl their own Con
ruitleeoiin and forthwith proceeded to
do so. Mr. Berkey's appointee handed
over the tickets and blanks to tbe duly
elected Committeeman, who proceeded
to hold the election in strict conformity
with the party rules. Some seventy
odd votes were cast at this poll by duly
(fiialified Republican voters. Yet, rn
the pretext that this was an illegally
conducted poll, Messrs. Kooutz, Ken
dall and Kooser are endeavoring to
have the entire vote of Ogle township
discarded, in tbe vain hope that it will
assist iu giving them positions for
which they were defeated by a major
ity of the Republican votes polled in
tbe county. It is on such fiimy pre-J
texts as mis mat mey would nuiliry
the will of the people and deprive duty
nominated candidates of their rights.
And these be honorable men!
Fifteen dollars was tbe price paid
William Kelley, of New Baltimore
borough, M induce him to resign as
Committeemau in order that J. A.
Berkey might appoint his successor.
How much was paid the Allegheny
township individual to go into New
Baltimore and act as Committeeman
has not yet been dUclused, but it i.as
developed that there was not suSicit nt
insurgent gold to induce any New Bal
timore Republican to vote at th5 Al
legheny township man's poll. Yet
Messrs. KoonU, Kendall and Kooser
would contend that this was a legally
appointed Committeeman, the choten
spokesman in their personally con
ducted convection, and that the Re
publican voters of New Baltimore
should be disfrauchised, their votes
cast out, because they voted at a pMl
conducted by a Couimittet man whom
they had elected in strict conformity
w ith their party rules. And this, to
give these three gentlemen positions to
which others wtre legally nominated
by a majority of the Republican vtlen
of the county. And Mr. Koonti be
lieves that "the office should seek the
man," and Mr. Kooser is "only a can
didate when be hears the voice of the
people calling him." This year the
voice was low and heard from afar off.
THE PITT 0' IT.
A little over a year ago, when politi
cal gold bricks were meeting with
ready sale, that astute Democratic
leader, Colonel Guffey, disposed of a
goodly-sized one to his verdant country
friend W. H. KoonU-who had just
been elected to the State Legislature
ia tb. form of a promise to make him
(Koontz) the fusion candidate for
speaker of the House Our venerable
Assemblyman was so elated with his
purchase and so grateful to the wily
Colonel .that he at once burned all I
bridges behind hire, spurned tbe ln.ZrZ?J?":

Lis constituents, cauA in his lot with
the enemies of tbe party that had
elected him, and, notwithstanding the
fact that his name was never meo
tioned in connection with the speakor
efc!p except iu derision, blindly held
on to his package of sawdust, believing
it to be a genuine bri:k of gold, iiis
personal organ, locally known as the
'fake" journal, ia its exuberance gave
birth to the following inspired article:
OUR PARDONABLE PRIDE.
Tha anon tan eons outburst of popular
eatimeot from every aection of tea aiate

peakerof tne House at HarrwturB, od

public tile, conies as a voluntary tribute
irom tuen in different parts of tbe slate
wbo have know a bim ail tbsse ye&rs as a
man of unbending: bonor, a representa
tive of high merit, and a faitnful ad
herent of genuine Republicanism.
The oeiiole of Somerset oounty view
with pardonable pride this broad recog
ui'joo of merit and integrity in one of
their citizens whom they take pleasure
io honoring, for they feel that there ia no
office in the gift of oounty or stale that
General Kooutz would not nil wun cred
it to hiniHelf and bis coOHtiiueuta.
General Koontz did not seek a seat in
tbe Slate L-gixli lure, aud it was only by
tbe earneitt and persistent solicitation of
many of bis intimate menu mat ne was
induced to accept it. Tbe otEce came to
hi in aa every ollicial potiitioa sbouid
come a voluDlarv tender from tbe peo
ple and re will, tberelore, a-wume tne
duties of office uutrammeied by the
political meshes that bave eo often made
legislators mere instruments in the hands
ol political bosses.
Tbe selection of General Koontx to tbe
speaker's chair would be long stride in
the march or reform, ana tnis seems to ne
tbe view of those wbo are urging bis
election.
This was in December, '9S, less than
eighteen months ago, and what a
change time has wrought! "Our Par
donable Pride" is again put to tbe test.
Mr. Koontz is again a candidate for
nomination to the Assembly and is
repudiated by an overwhelming ma
jority of the Republicau voters of his
oounty, running the lowest vote of any
candidate on the ticket save one Mr.
Kooser. "Tbe office came to him as
every official position should come a
voluntary tender from the people," he
said of himself in 1898. How is it
now? Defeated at the polls, repudi
ated by the honest voters of the county,
he has instituted a contest of tbe nomi
nation of his successful competitors and
is endeavoring by legal technicalities
and by taking advantage of the most
outrarjous frauds ever penetrated at
an election in this section of the State
to disfranchise hundreds of his fellow
citizens, in order that he may be de
clared tbe nominee of a party, a major
ity of whose voters declared by their
ballots that they did not want him as
their candidate. "The spontaneous
outburst cf popular sentiment " is to
be ignored, the wishes of the people set
aside by this gentleman, "whom they
take pleasure in honoring," if by any
possible book or crook it can be done
and he be allowed to fill an office that
should come "as every official position
should come a voluntary tender from
the people." To this low estate has
"Our Pardonable Pride" descended.
Pity 'tis, 'tis true. 'Tis true; 'tis pity.
KoonU a Trailer. Bowser's Big Majority.
Tbe official returns of the late Repub
lican primary disclose some interesting
and no doubt painful facts to "Ojr Par
donable Pride." For instance Samuel J.
Bowser, the Stalwart candidate fir Poor
Director, received 3j7 more votes tha
W. U. Koontz, the Insurgent candidate
for t'ie lgilature; T. 11 Knoads, the
Stalwart can iiJate for Jury Commis
sioner, received 20(J more votes than W.
H. Koontz; E. D. Miller, tbe Stalwart
ca-ididate for National Delegate, received
300 more votes than W. H. Koontz; W.
H. Sanuer, Stalwart candidate for the
legislature, received 196 more votes than
W. II. Koontz; Fred Rowe, Stalwart can
didate to tbe legislature, received 10J
more votes than W. H. Koontz ; S. A.
Kendall, insurgent candidate for tbe leg
islature, received 30 more voles than W.
B. Koontz, probably on account of the
friendly disposition of Committeeman
Shaffer of Paint No. 2 ; Insurgent candi
date W. II. KoonU for the legislature
received 23 more votes than Insurgent
candidate F. J. Kooser for Congress.
The people bave spoken, and spoken
in the abjve emphatic terms, but Mr.
Koon'.z has undertaken to override the
expressel tail! of tbe people and is now
engaged in an undignified effort to have
his name placed in the Republican col
umn on the official ballots, tbe right to
do which wti denied him by the
Republican voters of the county.

DAXPEIXCDUSITCOjar WILL PECIDZ
Despite the prevalent opinion t hat can
didate KoonU and Kendall had been so
overwhelmed and crushed by their de
feat at the recent primary election that
they would submit to the right of the
majority to ruls and permit the oamea of
their auc.WMfal opp ibou, W. H. sUuner
and Fred R'jwe, to appear in the It -publi
can oulutna on the official ballots to be
voted at the November election without
aoontest, itaeeuis that they are not dis
posed to do so, but on the other hand are
preparing to argue to the Dauphin coun
ty Court that candidates receiving a
minority of the votes cast at an election
aud coasted by a minority of an illegally
constituted convention, conducted in
violation of law, party rules and com
mon decency, should be declared the
nominees of the incorruptible Republi
can voters of Somerset oounty.
We confess frankly and with reluct
ance that we bad a higher opinion of the
sound judginect and fairmindedaess of
Messrs. Koontz and Kendall. We did
not believe that they would make
aa effort to have their names forced
upon a ticket as candidates for election
to the general assembly after they had
been bumilaticgly turned down by a
pronounced majority of the Republican
voters of the county.
We confess too that we were unprepar
ed to see men, who after having signed a
pledge, which we presume Messrs.
KoonU and Kendall did before announc
ing their names as candidates, to submit
to the result of the election and to give
heart; support to tbe ticket nominated,
piace themselves in a position where
they appear willing to accept a minority
nomination, which can only be secured
by disfranchising the legal voters of at
let six elecliea preein-rts, and "by dis
regarding tbe will of the majority of the
qualified Republican voter of the
oounty.
We were also unprepared to witcus
defeated and humilated candidates seek
ing to avail themselves of the unlawful
and revolutionary acta of an officer of the
Republican organization in order that
they might have their names placed on
a ticket, the right to do which was de
nied them by a majority of the Republi
can v4ers of tbe county.
We had excellent reasons to believe
that Messrs. Koonlz and Kendall would
not submit to the right of the majority to
rule in matters where their personal
malice and spite controlled them, but np
until we were permitted to inspect the
following paper, which was served upon
their successful competitors Monday
morning, we did not believe that they
would be parties to an effort to over
ride the expressed will of a majority
of their fellow citizen, among whom
thny have hitherto enjoyed tbe reputa
tion of being willing to abide by a free
ballot and a fair count :

concern for the production and manufac
ture cf glass. They have in their posses
sion some samples of ore containing a
rich deposit of silica and in addition a
large percentage of silver, which they
will have assayed. Tbe result of their
trip will determine whether or not the

About a year ago some prospectors
from Pittsburg spent several weeks
around the district in search of the new
Eldorado, but apparently with !ttl6 or
no success, as the result of their investi
gation could never be learned; In fact.
their work was almost eutirely done

" free Hornet " Bill Patted.
Congress Friday, without division,-
passed tbe "Free Homes" bill, which b
been pending before Congress for a num
ber of years. Tbe bill provides that tbe
Government shall issue pateuta to actual
Uma fide settlers on agricultural lands
In Indian reservations opened to settle
uient. These lands were taken up by
settlers, wbo contracted to pay fro in $1.2o
to S.3.75 per acre.
By tbe terms of the bill the Govern
inent assumes the payment of the pur
chase price to the Indians, aud changes
the existing law relative to agricultural
colleges so as to insure tbe payment of
the endowments which heretofore have
come out of the sale of public lands, in
case of deficiency. These payments in
volve S1.20O.O00.
Of the 29,000,000 acres in Indian reser
vations opened to settlement, for which
the Government is to pay, or has paid,
$35,0000,000, about 8,000.000 acres have been
taken, aud about 2,000,000 are supposed to
be still available for agricultural pur
poses.
It is explained that settlers will have
to reside upon their lands and cultivate
them for five years before securing title.
Mr. Grow, tbe venerable ex-Speaker of
the House and author of the Homestead
bill, supported the meaa:'-a. The scene
before bim, he said, rcisir.ded him of the
occasion in tbe old Hail of Representa
lives forty-eight years ago, when he made
his speech on "Man's Right to tbe Soil."
Mr. Grow was given an ovation. By
unanimous consent it was ordered thai
bis original homestead speech be printed

lip, which, in fpite of different salves
and lotions I used, grew steadily worse
and deeper, resembling a cut with a
knife. It was very distressing, as every
time I laughed or spoke it broke open. I
caw Doan's Ointment recommended and

'Squire Tied Hit Owa Kaot
Wilkesbarrk, Pa , May 5. A pecu
liar case came up before Judge Hal soy
this morning when Justice of the Peace
Ira Carle, aged W years, of Kingston, was
called to answer charges of cruolty and
non-support preferred by his wife,
Pauline Carle, who is 70 years old.
Tbe woman told a strange story, dur
ing which she stated '.hat she was mar
ried to the 'Squire at Wllmot, Bradford
oounty, in 1-Sit, and that the 'Squire him
self performed tbe marriage ceremony
by reading from the Bible aud then ask
ing if she would be bis wife. She said
there were no witnesses to the strange
ceremony. The 'Squire denies that there
was any marriage and before the non
support case can te decided, the legality
of the wedding will have to be estab
lished. Some old letters were exhibited to show
that the woman had written to Carle as
his wife even before tbe slrauge cere
mony of 111 One was written in l!CG
by Mrs. Carle to the 'Squire in which she
signed herself "his beloved wife," The
woman said she was not positively sure
of :he date of tbe wedding ceremony;
that he asked her to keep it secret.
Judge Halsey t.aid the question would
have to be decided io tbe divorce courts
and the attorneys decided to take it there.

(Special Correpon!nc.
Harrisburg, May 8. The retirement
or James S. Beacom as state treasurer
and the swearing la of his successor.
CoL James E. Barnett, yesterday was
a very gratifying outcome of one of
the most desperate political contests
ever waged in this commonwealth. Mr.
Beacom retired with a record cf hav
ing made one of the mott faithful and
efficient public of3cials that has ever
held a responsible position on "the
Hill." He was not only courteous to
all who had business with the office,
but he maintained a constant and vigi
lant supervision over the work of every
subordinate official, and be Jealously
guarded the immense funis of money
committed to hia care. The flniiaces of
iS'tt 'VtS.-'WVN'MJ
COL. JAMES E. BARNETT.
the state have not been In better condl
Hon for ninny years, and under the re
cent legislation pa.seJ through the
effoits of the leaders of the Republican
state orgir.izr.tion Interest Is paid to
the state ui:en every penny of state
funds deposited in the backs. The ad
vent of Cl. Harnett into the office of
state treab-.iier will ensure a continti
ance of the careful business adminis
tration of that office and will be a guar
antee that the Interests of the people
will be safely guarded.
AS TO STATE TREASURERS.
Of the 14 state treasurers elected by
the neoDle under tie constitution of
1874 eleven have come from the west
ern part of the sfatp. Previous to that
time the state treasurers were elected
by tbe legislature, and the holders of
the place ere pretty evenly divided as
to location. Of tne 11 eieciea, ice west
rn state treasurer were: Robert W,
Marker of Pittsburg. Henry Rawle of
Erie, Amos C. Noyes of Clinton, the
only Democrat that ever was elected
to the place; Silas M. Bally of Fayette,
who went out of office a poor man. be-
cause of the failure of banks where
state funds were deposited, the hiss of
which he and his bondsmen rcs.de up
William Llvesey of Pittsburg, who not
only served his own term, but parts n
two others; M. S. Quay of Ilesver. who
resigned in office to go Into the United
States senate; John W. Morrison of
Allegheny, who is now ieuuty comniis-
iioner of banking: Samuel M. Jacioon
of Armstrong, Dcnjamin Haywood of
Mercer and James S. Beacom of Wet
morelaud. The eastern state treasur
ers electsd by the people were Samuel
Butler of Chester, William B. Hart of
Dauphin, who died in office, and Henry
K. noyer of Philadelphia, who Is nr
superintendent of the mint In that city.
Despite the misrepresentations of the
opponents of the Republican tarty, 11
is a notewortny fact that the state has
never lost a dollar through the admin'
Istration of the office of state treasurer
under any Republican official. It Is true
that banks have failed and the bonds
men of treasurers have had to make
good deficiencies, but that was the mis-
I fortune of the bondmen and' not
matter of concern for the taxpayers of
the state.
GENERAL DAILY PASSSS AWAY.
Gen. Silas L Baily, a former state
.treasurer, died at his home at Union-
town. Pa., on Saturday laHt. Gen
Bally was one of the famous 306 who
stood by Gen. Grant In the convention
of 1830. His death resulted from
general collapse, superinduced by the
effects of a bullet wound received dur
Ing the civil war.
General Baily was born In Browns
ville in 1S.16. He learned the Jewelry
trnde and engaged in business In
Waynesburg. but sold out to go to the
war. H afterward opened a Jewelry
store In Unlontown, which he coa
ducted until a few months ago.
When the war broke out be organ
ised the first company In Greene coun
ty. which icame a part of the Eighth
Reserves, 'jd Captain Baily became
major. At Fredericksburg Major Bally
led the regiment with great gallantry
In the absence cf both the colonel and
lieutenat colonel. He ws afterward
breveted major general of volunteers.
At Gaines' Mill he received a dangerous
wound in the head. After recovering
frcm this injury he joined his regiment
In Maryland and fought pt Antietam
and all subsequent engagements, end
Ing at Appomattox. Gen. Baily was an
active Republican, and was elected
state treasurer In 1SS9, despite the in
dependent candidacy of Charlej S.
Wolfe.
MONEY FROM LIQUOR LICENSES.
An incident of tbe past week called
attention to another matter In which
the Republican organization fig
ures to advantage. It is a well known
fact that the Brooks high license law,
urder which the liquor traffic in this
commonweaih 13 governed, is regard
ed as one of the moat satisfactory laws
ever placed upon the statute boeii,
The raising of the license fees to J1.000
In cities of the first class and the cor
respondingly hlsb figures for lesg pop
ulous communities, has resulted In im
mense aums of mane diverting to the
mate from 1'nuor IWwaaa.
In Philrdeiphia alone last week there
was paid Into the city treasury the
enormous sum cf J2.237.4j2.21 for
liquor licenses, and of thia sum $".31.
200 will go lato the state treasury
The collections from licenses throueh'
out the state are a source cf great rev
enue P.nd the placing of power to grant
ing or refusing licenses m the hands
of the courts has resulted in a condi
tion of affairs which is much more sat
isfactory than would be the case were
this matter left in the hands of parti
san ocarcis.
BRYAN FOR FUSION.
Col. James M. Guffey. the leader of
. the state De-nocracy. has been at work
! til week perfecting his scheme for fn
: sion on the legislative tickets. He, of
. course, announces that he does not as
pire to !ection as United SUtes sena-
tor, but hia real views on -.hat issue
are generally understood,
f Commenting upon the senatorial 1s-
sue. the editor of the Philadelphia In
quirer a rew days ago said:
"Col. Quay, by the action of the re
cent etate convention, has teen made
a candidate before the next legislature
for senator of the United Stales. Where
does he stand at the present time?
"In the primary elections he has so
far made a net gain of 10, not counting
nominations made In nine counties
which sent Democratic members to the
last legislature, but which tre always
counted upon as Republican In a pres
idential year. He will gain fully 12
and probably 14 and even If. In Phila
delphia nlone. He will carry Cnester
county and Montgomery, ami counting
these counties as his. he bu enough
members In steht to elect him.
"There are 23 counties to be heard
from yet, and he will Increase hla lead
considerably Besides, he will carry
various districts that go Republican In
presidential years.
"Senator Quay, from the present out
look, cannot be beaten.
"He represents majority mte as op
posed to the rule of party wreckers and
small minorities. He can defy party
wre"kpi and minority stlf seekers and
vllfers this yrnr
"He Is practically elected already."
