TOPICS find COMMENT,
The Would-be Re-eiected Commissioners.
The present County Commissioners are
in a sorry plight, and well they may be.
They want to be re-elected, but we are of
the opinion that there are not enough
fools in Somerset county to be deceived
by their flimsy electioneering schemes to
elect them. We have a right to criticise
them as officers and we propose to do so.
It is a duty we owe to the public, and al-
though it is unpleasant to oppose them
publicly, we can not quietly submit to
the outrageous electioneering tactics they
are resorting to.
We have been informed that these vain
pretenders are circulating false reports
against Adam Fogle, whom they fear as
the strongest candidate for Commissioner
in the field. Mr. Fogle needs no vindi-
cation, for his character and business
standing are above reproach, as anyone
can learn by writing to any prominent
citizen of this town, where he has resided
for more than 25 years. At the last Re-
publican primary Mr. Fogle got every
vote cast in Salisbury borough, except
one. That is all the recommendation he
needs. Where is there another candidate
that can show a better record than that?
A man must be a very honorable citizen
to get a vote like that, as any sane man
will see.
The present Commissioners are also
sending out circulars praising their own
actions and harping on the wonderful
things they have done for the tax pavers.
But their circular is famons only for the
things it does not state. It is principally
made up of self-praise, and self-praise is
half scandal. Tt is a cheap trick and can
deceive none but the unwary. In some
instances they give figures, while in oth-
ers they do not. They give figures only
where it will suit #2em, you know, while
the rest is to be swallowed on blind faith
alone. Thev tell they have cut
down salaries here and there, but they do
not tell that they increased their own.
Neither do they say a word about putting

Wonder if they didn’t putin a
day once in a while when they used the
said closet? Any officer can fix up fig-
ures to suit his own case and to get votes
by, and it is altogether probable that the
voters have sense
closet at
enough to know that
and not be caught by such rotten bait.
In their circular they put considerable
stress on the fact that they have not
pampered any person or set of favorites.
But they want the people to pamper them,
keep them in office and make favorites of
them. That they had no favorites—well,
that will do to tell just now, but that
statement should be kept in brine during
this warm weather.
Another thing these festive and fas-
tidious Commissioners did was this: They
hear tax appeals at their office in Somer-
set only, They are too dignified and too
utterly nice to sit in the different town-
ships to hear tax appeals, as had been
the custom heretofore. People must go
to them, you know, at Somerset, lose a
couple of days and spend abont $5 in
money tor every dollar that they may be
able to save in taxes. One plea thev
make on this score is that they do not
like to sleep in so many ‘different cold
beds in the county. Well. there may be
something in that, but these same fine
gentlemen would sleep in barns, on the
straw, without cover, weather 14 degrees
below zero, if they could make a half-
dozen votes by it when they are out elec-
tioneering.
And yet we are expected by these men
to keep them in office. What for? All
because of their valuable experience that
they prate so much about. Valuable ex-
perience, rats! If the present Commis-
sioneis are the only men in the county
fit to fill said office, then by all means let
us give some other men some experience
and fit them also.
sioners, you know,
The present Commis-
may die, and we do
not want to be left without an abundance
of experienced office-holders. In fact we
believe they will die immediately after
the primary (politically) and politically
remain so dead that Gabriel can’t resur-
rect them with a steam fog horn.

THE insecurity of a number of the Gov-

SENATOR BUTLER, of South Carolina,
hasn’t seen any ‘new light.” He says
he is still for the free coinage of silver,
and that he believes the extra session of
Congress will pass a free coinage bill, as
a substitute for the Sherman law.
Tae sensible people of this country
have never had so much fun for so little
money as the efforts of ‘the fool-society
folk to entertain the royal Spanish party
have given then. It is evident that the
Spaniards have also had their share of
the fun.
IT is an almighty hard task. brethren,
to make the lender and the borrower take
the same view of the money question.
SUPERSTITIOUS people see more than a
mere coincidence in the fact that on the
same day and at almost the same hour
the funeral of Edwin Booth, brother of
J. Wilkes, and the falling of the floors of
the old theatre in which Lincoln was as-
sassinated, occurred.
THE present Mikado of Japan has abol-
ished the custom of furnishing husbands
to all women who reach a certain age
unmarried. He must have made the ac-
quaintance of an ‘old maid” from Amer-
ica and become jealous because his coun-
try had none of these delightful old gitls.
MARTYRS to bread and butter, were the
twenty-two unfortunate Government em-
ployes who lost their lives by the collapse
of the floors of Ford's old theatre, at
Washington. The building belongs to
the Government and was used for office
purposes, although long considered un-
safe.
During the last political campaign the
Democrats asserted that a protectice tar-
iff was robbing the masses of their sub-
stance, and the air was made vocal with
howls and lamentations mort-
gaged farms and bankrupt condition of
the tillers of the soil. Now it seems that
the wealth of the people is so great that
they should be subject to a tax on the in-
comes they are receiving. —Ex.

HERE is a suggestion from a Chicago
paper which is just as applicable here as
in Illinois. The publication of the trien-
nial assessments wonid property
holders to ascertain at a glance whether
any one of their neighbors were unduly fa-
vored in the matter of valuations. Under
the present system the owner of such
property has no means of knowing how
the assessors perform their duty without
going to considerable trouble. The pa-
per referred to says:
“The publication of the assessors’ fig-
ures would reveal at a glance to each proj -
erty owner what persons owning property
similiar to his own was assessed. Thus
he would determine the fairness of his
own assessment. This would tend to
make all persons who might be over as-
sessed, rigorous critics of assessors and
aggressive in t heir demand for fair
play. The ultimate effect would be the
compelling of assessors to raise the un-
reasonably low assessments and reduce
those that were excessively high. And
the publication of assessments would do
more. It would increase the difficulty
found by assessors in attempting to use
their offices for “‘sandbagging” taxpayers
by the threat of excessive assessments.
It is safe tosay that if it were known that.
the assessments now making would be
published, they would present widely
difierent characteristics from those which
they are likely to possess

spected, but there is no use for any class
of persons going to extremes. The open-
ing of the gates on Sunday, admitting
people to the grounds of the great expo-
sition, does not tend to demoralization.
It will not prevent persons from going to
church, neither will it prevent the quiet
enjoyment of the day. Those who do
not intend going to church will likely go
inside the gates where their behavior will
be as good as it is on the streets or at the
hotels and saloons. Church going peo-
ple will suffer no inconvenience because
of open gates on Sunday. Able ministers
will have good congregations anyhow.
Only a few years ago, right here in Penn-
sylvania, it was not an uncommon thing
to hear ministers make political speeches
to their congregations on Sunday. There
is a class of ecclesiastical who
ask for too much license for
and not enough for others, equally as
good as they are. Prohibition in Penn-
sylvania was defeated by this class of
men. Under a false pretense of religious
du y, they desecrated the Sabbath by dis-
cussing the merits of political candidates
from the pulpit. The opening of the
gates at the great Fair on ‘Sunday does
not disturb the peaceful and quiet enjoy-
ment of the Sabbath any more than the
taking of money at the gate of a camp-
meeting. Viewing the matter from a fi-
nancial standpoint, it is reasonable to
presume that if the taking of money at a
camp-meeting on Sunday is moral, that
