“For-more than half a century the
| Somerset Herald has gone into a ma
! jority of the best homes in Somerset
county,” says our esteemed centempo-
rary of itself. The Herald is a self-con-
victed falsifier. It has always claimed
a circulation of 2.000, which isin reality
a larger number of bonafide subscribers
than it has. But now, since its list is
‘rapidly dwindling down, it becomes
desperate and claims to go into a ma-

what the llerald considers a majority
of the best homes. But at any rate the
Herald is going down. That’s why it
wails like a lone and lousy hyena. Peo-
ple here remember the time that a Her-
ald was put into about every box in
Elk Lick'postoflice when the the mail
was distributed on Wednesday of each
week. Is itso now? Just go to the
post-office on Wednesday afternoons
and see the lonely little bunch of Her-

scarcely be noticeable. Poor old Her-

Latest War News.
It is said that the President will not
advise recognition of Cuba. It is said
that he will repeat his argument that
Cuba has not the elements of stability
entitling it to the status of statehood,
but it is intimated that he will recom-
intervention. The House may
accept Mr. McKinley’s program, but
strong Democratic opposition is looked
for in the Senate. General Lee ‘is ex-
pected to leave Cuba without further
delay. Foreign pressure and papal

Mention the Charities.
For a period of fifty years the Ilerald |
has been owned and controlled by its
present proprietor. During that time
it has encouraged and generously sup-
ported every enterprise undertaken for |
the advancement of the county. It has
given thousands of dollars in cash and
advertising to worthy local charities.

Mr. Martin’s View.
Secretary of the Commonwealth Mar-
tin, when approached by a newspaper
correspondent and asked if in his judg-
ment the results of the recent prima-
ries in Lancaster, Indiana
said that if he were Colonel Stone he
would take an entirely different view
of the situation. He had the
of the three mentioned counties before
him, and had evidently been making an

“When within a few days’

county as Indiana is rescued by less
than 100, both after desperate strug-
gles; and little

ganized effort, and the difference in the
total vote in these three counties falls
within the thousand mark, it has adan-
gerous look to me.”
Cost of War.
A naval battle now-a-days is the cost-
liest in all the history of wars. The
fleet of the United States opposed to
the fleet of Spain, in active engagement
for one day (sunrise to sunrise) would
eat more money than many of the wars
of the past.
It would cost $15,200 to fire Sandy
Hook’s mortars once. A shot from any
of the big rifles is worth $650. In a two-
hour engagement five ships could fire
away $1,300,000 in ammunition. Now
bear in mind, that the largest-calibered
and highest-priced guns are only good
for a limited number -of shots. Bo to
value ef the gun divided by the shot-
capacity—say $1,000,000 divided by 200,

To Change Inauguration Day.
The Senate committee on privileges
and elections favorably reported a joint
resolution proposing an amendment to
Jonstitution changing Inauguration
day from March 4 to the last Wednes-
day in April. It is in these words:
“The term of office of the President
and Vice President and of the fifty-
sixth Congress shall continue until the
last Wednesday of April, in the year
1901, at noon, and the last Wednesday
in April, at noon hereafter be substi-
tuted for March 4, as the cummence-
ment and termination of the oflicial
term of the President, Vice President
Senators and Representatives.

Enitor Star: —I cannot help writing
Tue Star an approving not on its pres-
ent course. There is nothing quite so
despicable as a sham reformer. To my
mind there is no surer sign that a pub-
lic official is worthy of public confi-
dence than to see a pack of notorious
| human wolves at his heels, yelping
“Reform!” That letter from the
| Somerset correspondent, “Fact,” pub-
| lished in Tie Star, speaks volumes in
its condemnation of the “reformers”
who wanted to “reform” $1,701.00 out
of the county treasury in one great
‘scoop.” But it seems to me your cor-
| respondent did not finish his compari-
json of the cost in the other counties
| with the cost of publication of the gen-
| eral election proclamation in 1896 in
{ Somerset county. Would it not be a
| fairer comparison to give the popula-
tio of the other counties? My late
husband moved out of Milford town-
ship just one year before the Hon. John
| C. Weller made that free distribution
| of Smull’s Legislative Handbook. Will
you please, Mr. Editor, refer to your
“Smull” and give us the population of
| those counties? Aunay Hoa.
| Right you are, Anti-Hog! The popu-
Iation is the very soul of the compari-
!son. We refer to our Smull’s Hand-
book,which is not a relic of the Milford
school director campaign, but of more
recent date, and just as reliable. We
| reproduce the table given by “Ifact,”
and give the population of each county

palling. Then take a glance at Leban-

Washington. What a spectacle of “re-

Pittsburg Dispatch.
Recently Speaker Reed wished to see
a man on some pending legislation and
telegraphed for him to come to Wash-_
ington. The man took the first train
available, but a washout on the road
made it impossible for the train to pro-
ceed further toward its destination.
Going to' a telegraph station he sent
| this dispatch to the Speaker:
“Washout on the line. Can’t come.”
When Reed read the message he sent
| back this reply:
“Buy a mew shirt and come anyway.”
