CANDIDATES who formed combinations
with the ring, and others who had a right
to expect support from it that they did
not get, have been given a sample of the
treachery that permeates every portion
of that select but depleted circle.—Som-
erset Standard.
A porITICIAL platform is like a law;
much depends upon how it is construed,
and two men of equal knowledge and
ability are liable to put constructions. up-
on it that are directly opposed to each
other. In one case the Supreme court
settles the dispute, in the other the peo-
ple.
AN exchange prints a column explain-
ing why the sons of Congressmen who
die while in office are elected to succeed
their fathers. Space might have been
saved-and a better explanation given by
saying that the sons are more familiar
than others with the machinery by which
their fathers controlled their districts.
Tar Somerset Standard reels off u large
chunk of truth in the following:
The ring nag was started out in the re-
cent campaign heavily loaded with a full
slate, but as the heat of the contest
creased it was found necessarv to unload
candidates one after another until all but
one were discarded. and the weary beast
came up to the home stake frothing and
panting with only a single rider.
THOUSANDS of women in this country
are medicine, thousands of
them are teaching school, thousands of
them are presiding over postoffices, thou-
sands of them are good clerks and com-
petent book-keepers, thousands of them
are managing farms successfully, thou-
sands of them are responsible for all the
culture and education their children re-
ceive, a good many of them are superin-
tendents of public instruction, thousands
of them are the very pillars of the church-
es and several millions of them support
their husbands and families. Yet in the
face of all these facts, now and then
some human curiosity will stand up and
swear by all the gods that women should
never be given the right to vote, while
at the same time any rum-soaked, tobac-
co-fuddled human thing of the masculine
gender, no matter how ignorant and de-
praved, can cast his ballot and thereby
have a voice in the government under
which noble and intelligent women must
live.

. Tre STAR has lately been charged with
being controlled by what some people see
fit to call ‘the Independents.” We want
it distinctly understood that THE STAR is
controlled by P. L. Livengood and Mrs.
P. L.. Livengood only. No other persons
have any claim on or control of THE STAR
whatever. We will boom for office whom
we please and oppose whom we please,
but we are subject to the dictations and
bossism of no one. Whenever we think
a man is unfit to fill a public office, we
will oppose him, no matter whether he is
of the Stalwarts or the Inde-
pendents. At the® last Republican pri-
mary the hardest ficht we made upon
any candidate upon S. U. Shober,
the Independents’ favorite for Commis-
a favorite
was
sioner. This ought to be evidence enough
that THE STAR 1s not controlled by the
Independents. However, we are not
afraid to say
Somerset county politics is composed of
that the worst element in
a gang of bosses in Somerset that claim
to be the leaders of the party. They prate
of their “‘Simon-pure” Republicanism and
loyalty to the party. but the last Somer-
set borough election demonstrated the
fact that they are kickers of the worst
kind when they can not run the machine.
What did these bosses do at the last Som-
erset borough election? This is what
they did: They attended the Republican
caucus, but when they failed to get all
their pets nominated, they (these great
Stalwarts) put an independent ticket into
the field and even went so far as to get
the Democrats to endorse some of their
nominees. But even then they got
“licked,” just as they deserved.
Somerset has a gang of political bosses
that are no better than highway robbers
and theives, and there is no use in denv-
ing it. Yet they have been posing as
great Republican leaders, when all the
time thev have been init for revenue
only. The influence of this band of vag-
abonds is growing less each year, but
still there arealot of dupes throughout the
county that can be lead by them. Some
of these dupes live right in this town,
and in a political campaign they never
know who they are for until they hear
from their masters, the Somerset bosses.
Such men must indeed have a high opin-
ion of their own manhood and intelli-
gence, when like cringing, shivering curs
they think they must await the commands
of their masters. Any two-legged thing
of that kind ought to be ashamed to stand
np in God's sunlight and eall itself aman.
No! TrHE STAR is not controlled by the
Independents; it is controlled by Pete
Livenzood and his wife. We have
hossism in our family, neither will we
bow to bossism outside of the family.
We are subject to no commands from the
Stalwarts, nor no dictations from the In-
dependents. We will work only for such
Republican candidates as we believe to
be worthy persons, regardless as to which
faction they are favorites of.

A Big Fishing Trip.
Last Friday evening the editor took ad-
vantage of his vacation and started out
on a fishing trip. In company with Mike
Lowry we walked to Grantsville, put up
at the Farmers’ hotel for the night, and
next morning footed it up the National
pike, 4% miles. to Puzzly run. There we
got into the stream and fished on down
to where it empties into Whites creek. 8
miles from Confluence. We next pro-
ceeded to a farm house to get a good,
square meal, to which we were kindly
accommodated by our host, Mr. F. Ful-
mer.
After supper we rustled about to find
some one to bring us home, but alas! no
rig conld be obtained and we had to make
the trip afoot. This went all right for a
time, but by the time we reached the top
of the mountain, the journey seemed to
be strewn with thorns instead
and with our shoe soles worn as
paper. a big cargo of trout to carry, and
our stomachs aching for food, the tramp
was anything but pleasant. At
places we stopped and in the darkness
