THERE is food for serious thought in
the fact that the poverty of a Senator or

brought forward as a proof of his honesty.
While this does not necessarily imply that

ACCORDING to a late supreme court de-

THE proposal to have a Congressional
committee investigage the ‘social evil”

ject without any new investigation.
Tom WHITAKER, editor of the Gatling
Gun, a sensational paper published in Al-
legheny, edits his paper from behind the
walls of the Western penitentiary. Al-
though Tom is in prison nearly all the
time, on account of things published in
his paper, he is not discouraged. This
is what he says: ‘‘I married one of the
best. girls in the world. She is a wife
that weighs but 90 pounds, but she is
worth her weight in gold.: She has stuck
to me during 28 years of prison life, and
she will stick to me until I die; and so
long as she sticks to me, I don’t care a
continental for the world and its opinion.”
JupGr PAXTON, of the Supreme Court
of this state, has just rendered a decision
which confirms the force of the old ‘Blue
law’ statute of 1794; and, under it, makes
the selling of newspapers, on Sunday, a
misdemeanor. It is an outrage on mod-
ern civilization that the people of this
country have to be hampered by laws
passed by our great-great-grandfathers,
who kuew about as much of the wants of
this generation, as we do of those to come
a hundred years after us. The Pennsyl-
vania legislature, at this winter's session,
ought to expunge every law of this sort
on the statute books. Not that Sunday
should not he observed in all decency
and decorum, but that a man should be
deprived of reading a newspaper on Sun-
day, becanse the selling of it is not a
work of ‘‘necessity or charity,” is the
last straw that breaks the camel’s back. —
Somerset Vedette.
Tae following is the way Editor W. 8.
Knox, of the Malvern (O.) Doings, bid
adieu to a constituency. which has failed
to support his paper:
‘In bidding adieu to Malvern as the
scene of our struggles in the field of jour-
nalism, our readers will pardon a brief
outline of the causes which have com-
pelled our departure. On ours, lack of
judgment, and failure to comprehend the
essential littleness of the place—our ex-
pectations that we could dispel the hoary
prejudice and bust the rust-eaten shackles
of rural conventionalities, has recoiled
with stupendous force upon our pocket-
book. We have cried ‘bread, bread,’
when there was no bread. We have
wasted our energies and dulled the edge
of our wit in trying to make blood gush
from a turnip. We have laughed where
there is no mirth. We have wept where
tears are unknown. We have danced
and the daughters of music are dumb.
We have stung you into madness. We
have tickled you under the chin. We
have nursed and coddled the lean and
meager truth. We have created and dis-
bursed the large and lusty lie. The fruits
of our efforts have been apples of Sodom
and our belly is filled with wind. Were
poverty a gin, this were a hamlet in hell;
were selfishness a virtue, this were a pal-
ace in Paradise. To our friends---to those
who snccored us in the hour of our dis-
tress—our memory will ever be green.
and may the gods of time and fortune be
ever kind to them. To our enemies—to
those who withheld their supporting arm
and word of cheer—may they reap as
they sowed. Farewell.”
Maxy of the railroads of the country
have decided not to issue the customary
half-fare permits to clergymen. Why
should they?
about the best paid class for the service
rendered. Of course there are excep-
tions, but they are few and far between.
—Somerset Herald.
Yes, why should they have half-fare
permits? That is something that we have
long wondered at. A clergyman who
has any dignity about him or respect for
his calling” will not care whetlier he has
to pay full fare or not. It is the plug
preacher who will raise a howl about
paving full fare—the insignificant. small-
souled preacher who imagines that he
ought to have everything he wants for
nothing or about half-price. and all for
no other reason than because he is a
preacher. The opinion used to prevail,
more or less, among ignorant people. that
preachers were better than other people.
consequently entitled to more favors.
This idea, however, has about gone glim-
mering down the ages; for people have
learned that. clergymen carry about as
much humanity and its sins with them
as other people do. In short, they are
no better than other people. The man
who tills the soil and the man who wields
the pick and shovel in the bowels of the
earth, have occnpations just as honor-
able as that of the man
hind the sacred desk, encased in broad-
cloth, and expounds the Gospel. The
idea that preachers, who are generally
well paid, (in many cases too well paid
for the services rendered) should ride
about on railway trains at half-fare, while
poor miners and other laborers pay full
fare, and while editors are paying abont
three fares in advertising. is an outrage
and a disgrace. It is truly abont time
for the railroad companies to get their
eyes open and do justice, regardless of
rags, tagt or broadcloth.

Once upon a time a certain man got mad
at the editor and stopped his paper. The
next week he sold his corn at 26 cents
below market price. Then his property
for taxes because he didn't read the
Sheriff's sale. He was arrested and fined
$8 for hunting on Sanday, and he paid
$300 for a lot of forged notes that had
been advertised for two weeks, and the
public cautioned not to negotiate for
them. He then paid a big Irishman with
a foot on him like a forge hammer, to
kick him all the way down to the news-
paper office, where he paid four years
subscription in advance, and made the
editor sign an agreement to knock him
down and rob him if he ever ordered his
paper stopped again. Such is life with-
out a newspaper.—Ex.
During the greater portion of last year
Somerset county was represented at the

Three of this number have recently been
discharged. The Pennsylvania aunthori-
ties have rendered a bill to the County
Commissioners for the maintenance of
the inmates of that institution from this
county. A separate account is kept with
each prisoner. The entire number were
allowed $1460.41 for labor performed:
leaving a balance of $2543.94 for main-
tenance to be paid. —Somerset Herald:
