Tur Somerset Herald this week comes out with a sickly whine to the effect that it is all wrong to show up the records of public men who are not now candidates. If that is the case, then why are the Herald and Meyers- dale Commercial so busily engaged in trying to defame the characters of Geo. F. Kimmel, Gabriel Good and Judges Horner and Black? Are these men candidates at this time? No; there are no candidates for Commissioner or As- sogiate Judge running in this campaign. The’ Herald and Commercial were the starters of this kind of warfare, and. they commenced on Commissioner Kimmell away last winter, just as soon as they found out that they would not get the county’s annual statement to publish. Now the Herald wants to cry, since it has got the worst of a battle of its own choosing. Poor old Herald. A The human michine starts but once and stops but once. You can keep it going longest and most regularly by using De Witt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little pills for constipation and all stomach and liver troubles. P. 8S. Hay, Elk Lick. €. A.
