The two contending factions are hurling all manner of vile epithets at each other and are exceedingly bitter in their mud-slinging. When Populist thieves in Kansas disagree, it is safe to predict that honest Kansans will in course of time get their dues. Tur Pittsburg Times truthfully says that now is the time for Democratic conventions to rise up and view with alarm the imperialistic ideas which have been grafted apon the nation by such dangerous men as Dewey, Merritt, Shafter, Miles, Sampson, Schley, et. al. For viewing things with alarm the Democratic party has never had an equal ; but the Democrats are not al- ways alarmed at everything they pre- tend to be alarmed at, for they are largely a pany of projonders. Tue Madrid government sending its fleets and armies to a certain doom is a peculiar spectacle in these modern days. Students of history, however, will recall that in one case the tribunal of the inquisition once brought before it a culprit charged with being a here- tic and atheist, but as he died before the inquiry was completed his judges gravely continued the trial, adjudged him guilty and ordered his body to be burnt. Spain has a good deal of the same medieval spirit yet. IsspECToR Grsnnat BrrcrsiinGs in his official report of his observations on the Cuban campaign condemns the Springfield rifle as an “obsolete” and “suicidal old blunderbus,” and General Lawton writes of it unoflicially: “I had to retire the volunteers early in the day. Their antiquated Springfield rifles and the black powder were no match for the Mauser—a weapon which loads five cartridges at a time, uses smoke- less powder, kills at 4,000 yards, and is one of the most destructive instruments known to modern warfare.” GENERAL Ww HEELER, one of the he- roes in Santiago, is writing a book. In it he will say: “Inregard tothe differ- ence between regulars and volunteers, | ly when they went into action every | copy before us is largely made up of | : . ant py : gely : I {have a rival which will drive it out of ! day of denominational narrow-minded- | ness ought to be a thing of the past. | Of Somerset Borough. | : | him Geo.

Many of the volunteers left positions with large salaries and com- fortable and luxurious homes to serve their country. They were seif-sacrific- ing; they were brave; they were chiv- alrous. But truth compels me to say that for effectiveness in battle they could not be expected to equal trained soldiers. The regular army officers and men had been trained to estimate distances by the eye and to adjust their sights with great precision ; consequent- man was an expert marksman, and they used thelr rifles with most marvel- ous accuracy.” Wg have come across : the 8th num- ber of the Lutheran Banner,a new can- didate for public favor published at Scalp Level, this county.

The Congressional conference of the 20th district of Pennsylvania convened japital hotel, at Johnstown, on Joseph E. Thropp, of Everett, Bed- ford county’s candidate, brought with Derrick, David Prosser Sweet as conferees. Alvin Cambria’s eandi- date, had with him P. H. Barker, Sena- tor J.C. 8 and .J. \V. stineman and Webster Griflith Josiah DD. Hicks, of Al- | s candidate, brought as | Contig J. S: Sellers, Dr. Taylor and | W. 8S. Davis, while our own candidate, | FT Kooser, was represented in the | conference by Oliver Knepper, J. G. | Ogle, Esq., and J. A. Berkey, Esq. The Conference was organized by Electing Oliver Knepper, of Somerset, | Chairman, and Geo. W. Derrick, of | Jedford, Secretary. The conference held one session on | Tuesday and four each day succeeding, to wit: Wednesday and Thursday, when the conference adjourned to meet | | I at the Capital hotel, at Johnstown, on | | Wednesday evening, Aug. 24th. During the sitting of the conference | seventeen ballots were taken. Infour- | teen of the ballots each candidate re- | ceived the vote of his o n conferees, except that on two ballots Hicks threw a vote to Judge A. V. Barker’s brother Flory and one’vote to R. H. Haderman, who was Thropp’s opposition for the nomination in Bedford. On the other three ballots taken Mr. Kooser’s con- ferees voted for Mr. Thropp, giving Thropp 6 votes. One vote more would have nominated him. At the time of the convening of the conference Mr. Hicks made two prop- ositions to the other candidates through the Altoona Zribune and the Johnstown Democrat, which were intended to make | it appear that he was anxious to get a nomination of a candidate. He stated that as soon as any of the other candi- dates could muster 6 votes, he would make the nomination, and that if the other candidates were so ambitious as not to do so, he would be willing to submit the matter to the Republican voters of the district. Both proposi- | tions were brought to the front by the l other candidates, but Josiah proved that he was still Josiah “Do-little.” | Mr. Evans introduced into the confer- ence a resolution that the proposition made by Mr. Hicks to submit the mat.- ter of selecting a nominee to the Re- publican voters of the district, but Mr. Hicks’ conferecs were careful to get | the resolution postponed indefinitely. Mr. Kooser gave Thropp three votes on three different ballots, but Mr. Hicks | did not make the nomination. As the | matter now stands, Hicks has been much | Mr. Kooser deserves credit for having shown to the voters of the district so early in the work of the conference his entire willingness to | lay aside his personal ambitions in vot- | ing for one of the other candidates, so that the party would promptly have a regularly nominated candidate for Congress. | ports. | ted States can dictate terms to the | is brought to an end a period of un- | American capital and labor will pro- | vide for each remunerative fields of in- | dustry. | computation, is a desolate land to-day, | third developed. | toms and sentiments that belong to the | | like fairy tales. | America. | Other | doubtless do the same in the future. { due in a measure to her aectivity:in | the bulk of this business, but her states- OUTCOME oF THF WAR. Interesting Views of Some Great Newspapers. Philadelphia Press. With Cuba independent,under Amer- ican guardianship, and Porto Rico ced- ed, our trade with these islands will be free and the trade of every other West Indian island will be ruined. Not one can grow tobacco, make sugar or pro- vide tropical products for our markets in competition with these islands. Ei- ther the rest of the West Indies must follow suit and seek like reciprocal re- lations with this country or they must see their plantations ruined. Bur this great economic change is but half the advantage won by the United States.

Philadolphia Star. The success of the United States bat- tleships and cruisers in destroying the fleet of Cervera, without receiving in the terrible fight injury worth noting, has awakened the Iuropean writers to | the fact that this country stands prob- | ably ahead of any of the nations of the earth in the matter of armor, guns and gunners. Discussions in the foreign papers indicate very clearly that during the next five years the manufacturers in the United States may expect heavy orders from abroad for ships and ar- morplaf®, if not guns and ammunition ; and the chances are, too, that a lively demand will spring up for American gunners, or at least an arrangement under which points can be obtained as to how we do the thing. To use an ex- pression heard here the other day, our men on the vessels in the vicinity of Santiago picked the Spanish ships pret- ty much as the Texans are iu habit of killing jack rabbits.

Eleventh Hour Repentance. Pittsburg Times. | Now that the war is ended it is inter- | esting to read the extracts from some | of the German papers, which have veered with the favorable winds of American fortune and are so sympa- | | of young men; world shall stand amazed. | ered the fact that they are the com- | NUMBER 3 thetic as to be uninteresting. There is a friendliness between the people of the United States and Germany. Too much German blood mingles with the red re- publicanism of the land of freedom for an. animosity to arise between this country and the representative Ger- man. But German authorities during the war exhibited so much impudent tendency to meddle that the German emperor and some of his ridiculous of- ficials are not held in the highest re- spect by the people of this country, be- cause they are not entitled to it. The war is over,and America emerges from the conflict with suflicient credit. The war was fought hy American ener- gy and brains, and we owe Germany nothing. Iler emperor had not even | the courtesy to show an earnest moral neutrality, although keeping strictly within the letter of the law. Germany committed no offense that can be com- plained of, under rigid legal rules. Neither did she do anything to lead to the belief that she felt the slightest friendly concern. That is perfectly and coldly correct. A neutral is justified in being as neutral as a dividing line. But now that we have given the world to understand that the Yankee can take care of himself, and must ask no out- I side help from anyone, it is wearisome { for the German papers to tell ‘us of their eleventh hour love. If they are fond of America, let it go until a more suitable time to tell it. Germany took the wrong guess during the war. We bear no malice because of it, but to re- pent too energetically just at this time will look to many people like the hedg- ing of hypocrisy. America will get along all right with Germany, if Ger- many does not overdo the deathbed repentance scene. (Germany is a pref- ty good country in spite of its opera | bouffe ruler, and we will like her just | as well if she does not say another word about it. Last Speech Made by Jefferson Davis. The Augusta Chronicle claims to have discovered the last speech made by Jefferson Davis. In addressing a politi- cal gathering at Mississippi City, in 1888, the Chronicle says he used these words : “These faces I see before me are those had I not known this I would not have appeared before you. Men in whose hands the destinies of our southland lie, for love of her I | break my silence to speak to you a few | words of respectful admonition. The | past is dead; let it bury its dead, its hopes and its aspirations. Before you lies the future—a future full of golden promise; a future of recompense for honorable promise ; a future of expand- ing national glory, before which all the L.et me be- seech you to lay aside all rancor, all | bitter sectional feeling, and to take | your places in the ranks of those who will bring about a consummation de- { voutly to be wished—a reunited coun- try.” If it is true that the foregoing is real- | ly the last speech made by Jefferson Davis, (and we have no reason to doubt t) then indeed old Jeff. was a much better man than he is usually painted. At any rate the loyalty of the South is no longer doubted. The war with | Spain has demonstrated that the South is as true to the stars and stripes as is the North, that sectional feelings have about died out, and that our whole country to-day is more solidly united than it ever was. Weller for State Senator. At the district Nenatorial conference, which met at McConnellsburg, Fulton county, last week, J. 8. Weller was nominated on the fifth ballot. The can- didates for nomination were, J. 8S. Wel- ler, of Bedford county, J. J. Hoblitzell, of Somerset county, and A. B. Dalby, of Fulton county. Mr. Hoblitzell’s conferees were Sheriff Hartzell, LL. C. Colborn and George Hibner. Voices.
