Mil- ler. 4-1 HOWL OF A TRAMP. Lou Smith Accuses Others of Not Being Natiyes of Somerset County. Old windy Lou Smith, of the Meyers- dale Scull organette, refers to all the newspapers in Somerset county that are in favor of a new court house as “court house ring newspapers,” “organs of graft,” ete. He says none of the ed- itors in favor of a new court house are natives of this county. That is of very little consequence, but let us take a glance at the nativity of the ‘editors of Somerset county and how they atand on the new court house question. Editor Lambert, of the Somerset Standard, is not a native of Somerset county, but he has been a prominent and Honored citizen of the county for nearly‘or quite a quarter of a century. He is married to a daughter of Captain ‘Wi. M. Schrock, a native-born Somer- seter, and John Lambert is by this time one of the Somerset Dutch. He is in favor of a new court house. Editor Grof, of the Somerset Demo- crat, is a natiye of Somerset county, reared in Meyersdale. He is a typical Somerset county Dutchman and red hot in favor of a new court house. Editor Scull, of the Somerset Herald, is a native of Somerset county. He really wants to see a new court house erected, but ae he is a politician out of a job, he is opposing it for political rea- Sons. Editor Hendrickson, of the Windber Journal, is not a native of Somerset county, but as he. is a man of brains and progress, he is a staunch advocate of a new court house, knowing that the county is badly in need of it. Editor Claar, of the Windber Era, is not a native of Somerset county. He does not seem to care whether a new court house is built or not. Editor Marshall, of the Berlin Rec- ord, may not have been born in Somer- set county, but if not he came very near it, for he grew to manhood in old Somerset, and is in every way a true “Frosty Son of Thunder.” He is an able and progressive young man and favors a new court house. Editor Cook, of the Berlin Gleaner, does not seem to have been born any- where. Like Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Topsy, he “just growed,” and the longer he lives the smaller he gets. He is a sort of a “Weary Willie” or knight of the road newspaper man, and having gone daft on prohibition, he has no time to discuss the court house prob- lem. He is kept quite busy reforming mankind and keeping himself out of the lunatic asylum. Editor Overacker, of the Rockwood Gazette, is not a native of Somerset county, but he is a good citizen, edits a good paper and is in favor of a new court house. We are told that two Barron brothers, both good Somerset county Dutchmen, are part owners of the Gazette. Editor Bishop, of the Meyersdale Re- publican, came here several years ago from Towa to edit the paper he pre- sides over. and which is owned by Hon S. A, Kendall, who dictates its policy. Mr. Kendall is a native son of Somer- set county, born in the most obscure poverty among the pines of Greenville township; but “Sam” had pluck and energy of the right sort, and for years he has been, and still is, one of the foremost business men of Somerset county. He being a progressive man, and employing a progressive editor, as a matter of course the Meyersdale Re- publican favors a new court house. Editor Smith, of the Meyersdale Commercial, he who has provoked us into writing this arlicle while sick and confined to our room, is not a native of Somerset county, although to hear him howl and blow one would think he is the very father of the county. Lou Smith came here from Mt. Joy. Lan- caster county, Pa., and just why he left there is a matter that he is very tick- leish about, so we will not mention what brought him here. But he landed here shortly before the Civil war, and he came as a tramp school teacher and a “soapstick.” The latter title will still fit him him. He has never been any- thing but an old “soapstick,” and that is all he ever will be. He was a Demo- crat when he came here, then he turn- ed Republican for revenue and started a newspaper. He next became famous by leaving the Republican party and using his paper to boom an independ- ent state and county ticket. That was in 1882. His cause being defeated, he then came sneaking back into the Re- publican party again. But he couldn’t remain long, owing to the Democratic blood and Democratic whiskey in his old carcass, and in 1885 he kicked over the traces again and supports a Demo- crat for poor house director. Then he sneaks back again into the Republican ranks, makes up with the Sculls and feeds at their pie counter until several | years ago, when the Republican voters kicked the whole greedy, rascally gang | away from the public crib and filled honest men. Since the complete defeat of the Scull gang, and since the party organization has been wrested from their hands, old “Lucifer Ananins” Smith and his masters, the Sculls, have all been bolting Republican nomina- tions, and this year they are trying to to fool the people into nominating for office a gang of their bolters at the Re- publican primary election, by howling against a new court house. the offices with true Republicans and | Editor Livengood, of this paper, who is neither last nor least in the field of Somerset county journalism, was born in Maryland, but as his parents were natives of Somerset county, Pa.,and re- turned to their native heath when the editor was but 10 years old, the editor feels that he is in every respect a full- fledged and loyal “Frosty Son of Thun- der.” Here he has grown to manhood, and of the 30 years that have elapsed since coming here at the age of ten, Editor Livengood has spent all but five of them right here in Salisbury. His record for honesty and sobriety will rank far above that of Lou Smith, and we believe he is worth more to Somer- set county and the community in which he lives than old Lou Smith ever was, could have been or will be. As a mat- ter of course THE STAR favors a new court house, because we know that the county needs it and will not be unneec- essarily nor oppressively burdened by its erection. We have provided a comfortable home for our family and a little real estate besides, and we pay at least ten times as much tax annually as the old blackguard bachelor editor of the Meyersdale Commercial pays. But we are not telling our readers that the erection of a new court house will com- pel us all to mortgage our homes, be- cause to do so would be to tell them a wilful and bare-faced lie. We will let the task of lying to the bachelor editor of the Commercial, who owns nothing but the clothes on his worthless back and is talking only for political effect. a HAPPY, HEALTHY CHILDREN.

In soliciting your support at the com- ing primary election, we feel it due to the voters that they should have a plain statement from their candidates on one of the most important questions ever before the people of Somerset county. We are unalterably opposed to the division of Somerset county. We will, at all times, from start to finish, use every possible and proper means to de- feat that scheme. We will agree to no compromise, go into no deal, and give no aid, comfort or silent consent to _any person, party or political clique that shall boom a new county at the expense of ours We take this means to call to your attention the necessity of sending to the Legislature, persons who are fully committed and determined to fight from beginning to end for the interests of Somerset county on a matter that is of so much concern to all of us, and that will be up at Harrisburg next winter.

Did ever any other person in Somer- set county, from the beginning of the world down to this date, get half as much from j-ublic office salary and fees as the late head of the Scull family? Did Somerset county ever bave another associate judge who drew within $200 per annum as much in fees as Ex-associate Judge Biesecker? Name, if you can, two other publish- ers in Penpsylvania, either in city or country, who have ever charged $567 for printing a single election proclama- tion, as you and Geo. R. Scull did a few years ago when the Scull ring was yet in power. When it comes to graft and grab, Scull, Smith & Co. have been the orig- inal and only school masters in that art in Somerset county, and tneir henchmen have always been their pu- pils. COLDS CAUSE PNEUMONIA. One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, caus- ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.

The New-York Tribune Farmer, na- tionai illustrated agricultural weekly of twenty large pages, has no superior as a thoroughly practical and helpful publication for the farmer and every member of his family, and the publish- ers are determined to give it a circula- tion unequalled by any paper of its class in the United States. Knowing that every enterprising, up- to-date farmer always reads his own local weekly newspaper, The New- York Tribune Farmer has made an ex- ceedingly liberal arrangement which enables us to offer the two papers at so low a price that no farmer can afford to lose the opportunity. The price of The New-York Tribune Farmer is $1.00 a year and THE SOMER- ser County Star is $1.50 a year, but both papers will be sent for a full year if you forward $1.50 to Tue STAR, Elk Lick, Pa. Send your name and address to The New-York Tribune Farmer, New York City, and a specimen copy of that paper will be mailed to you. tf Our Calendars. As per announcement of Jan. 28th, Tue STAR has issued an additional sup- gly of handsome art calendars. They are in two designs, one showing a hand- some street scene of our own town, the other a handsome picture of the old stone bridge one mile east of Grants- ville, Md. We printed no calendars showing Tub Mill Run Falls, as we had intended, owing to the fact that the cut we intended to use did not give satisfaction. Our calendars are fine works of art, and they are for distribution among Star subscribers only. The conditions upon which they can be obtained were stated in our issue of Jan. 28th, but we have since decided tolmodify the con- ditions somewhat, as follows: Every subscriber whose subscription is paid to date is entitled to one calendar. Subscribers in arrears must pay at least $1.00 on account in order to get one, and new subscribers must pay at least 50 cents for a three-month sub- scription. Subscribers who cannot call at our oflice for their calendars, must remit 5 cents to pay pcstage,or 10 cents if a copy of both calendars is wanted. Subscribers desiring more than one calendar, will be required to pay 10 cents for each extra copy, besides the postage, if calendars are to be sent by mail. tf Ss OLD PAPERS for sale at THE STAR office. They are just the thing for pantry shelves, wrapping paper and cartridge paper for the miners. Five cents buys a large roll of them. tf ple A GOOD COMBINATION, DIRT CHEAP. Until further notice we will give you Tuk Star and the New York Tribune Farmer, both one year, for only $1.50 cash.
