Bluff Put Up By Bolters Called; They Had No Case. Farce Ended Just as Every Fair- Minded Person Expected. Somerset Standard. “Ignored ; prosecutor pay the costs.” Repeat this finding twelve times and you have the brief, though eloquent funeral oration preached by the grand jury over the corpses of the twelve so- called election cases that the bolters set up and talked so glibly about. These cases were never more than men of straw, set up by the bolters as dummies with which to make a play before the public. They never had a particle of ground to stand on, though the chief bolters who inspired them may have persuaded the ostensible prosecutors that they had. tf these duped prosecutors can now persuade their political advisers to pay the costs, they will bé even; otherwise they will have to pay for their experience. These bolters have given some rank public exhibitions within the last few years, but these election cases were the climax of their tomfoolery, and it was the most farcical performance of the series. It is no wonder ‘that the advisers in these cases were ashamed to appear in the matter, and no wonder that the bolters wanted the cases tried by a special District Attorney. The Bazoo crowd of bolters must be a heartless set. They led certain par- ties out of the Republican party, and when they got them so far away that they bad forfeited their right to vote at a Republican primary, they shoved them into court as figureheads in a batch of cases that ought to be the laughing stock of the county. The defendants in these cases proba- bly regret that the cases were not per- mitted to go far enough to show the very straw of which they were com- posed, and the entire justification of the defendants in refusing the votes of men who had forfeited every right to vote at a Republican primary. The ground upon which votes were refused was that the parties so refused had openly and voluntarily connected themselves with another political party, thus clearly disqualifying themselves to vote at a Republican primary, and the Judges would have violated their oaths of office had they permitted them to vote, for their oaths were that they would “receive the votes of none but duly qualified Republican voters.” In addition to their oaths the rules of the party laid upon these Judges, as members of the election board, the duty that they allow “none whom they know or have reason to believe are not Republicans to vote.” These Judges were indeed acting in a judicial capacity—acting upon their best judgment. They were clearly right in refusing tl they did re- fuse, and they, nc t, were wel- coming, as defenda test to the finish of the farcical :et up by the bolters. Those who induced the prosecutors in these cases to go into court have a dilemma with two horns, to either of which they are welcome. If they did not know that they had no case, their worth as advisers has been greatly overestimated ; if they did know they had no case, the trick of using the pros- ecutors to make a political bluff is de- cidedly in the scurvy class. It is probable that the whole farce was set up to give the Bolters’ Bazco a pretext for a windy exhibition. = The Bazoo crowd had induced certain per- sons to abandon the Republican party and unite themselves with an opposi- tion party, and when the said persons ran up against the consequences of their act it became necessary to molify them, and the prosecution bluff was brought forward as the best molifier in sight. - Then the old Bazoo began to flap its wings and tell the public how a gigantic fraud had been perpetrated, and how it, | see that the perpetrators were duly drawn and quartered. . Thar splurge gave the Bazoo tem- porary relief, but it knew that the prosecution bubble would soon burst, and it must break the fall of its dupes, hence the howl against the District Attorney. The Bazoo’s next stunt is now due. —————— THREE JURORS CURED Of Cholera Morbus with One Small Bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Mr. G. W. Fowler, of Hightower, Ala., relates an experience he had while serving on a petit jury in a mur- der case at Edwardsville, county seat of Clebourne county, Alabama. He says: “While there I ate some fresh meat and some souse meat, and it gave me cholera morbus in a very severe form. I was never more sick in my life, and sent to the drug store for a certain cholera mixture, but the drug- gist sent me a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy instead, saying that he had what I sent for, but that this medicine was so much better he would rather send it to me in the fix I was in. I took one dose of it and was better in five minutes. The second dose cured me entirely. Two fellow jurors were afflicted in the same manner, and one small bottle cured the three of us.” For sale by E. H. Miller. MORE INCENDIARISM. Wheelhouse at Wilmoth Mine Sent Up in Smoke. ° Last Sunday night the wheelhouse at the Wilmoth mine, near old Keystone, was sent up in smoke, and the steel cable on the incline plane was practic- ally ruined. The Wilmoth mine has been closed ever since the present broken strike was inaugurated, but cars were side- tracked there last Sunday, and eon Monday morning the mine was to re- sume shipments with a force of fifteen men. This explains the fire, and there is no doubt that the blaze originated by “spontaneous combustion”—of the U.M. W. of A. brand. What dirty, cowardly crime next? RE WHAT IS LIFE? In the last analysis nobody knows, but we do know that it is under striet law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain results. Irregular living means derangement of the organs, resulting in Constipation, Headache or Liver trouble. Dr. King’s New Life Pills quickly readjusts this. It’s gentle, yet thorough. Only 25c. at E. H. Miller’s Drug Store. MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE. Negress Who Murdered Minnie Friedline Overcome by Verdict. Mrs. Charles Simpson, the negtess who murdered Miss Minnie Friedline, at Boswell, last February, was tried in the criminal court at Somerset, last week. As anticipated, the woman was found guilty of murder in the first de- zree, and the verdict seems to be a very satisfactory one to the general public. The woman admitted her crime, but plead temporary insanity, a very lame plea. There is much talk of a new trial and other useless and expensive foolishness, but most people think the murderess should hang, and doubtless she will. Her crime being a most bru- tal and cold-blooded murder, the guilty woman should be swung off at an early date, and the taxpayers of the county should be spared the expense of a new and underserved trial.

Behold our Uncle Samuel had a big field to sow; whereupon he sent forth into the field one Grover, whose sur- name was Cleveland, to do the sowing. And Grover straightway sowed the field with the seed of free trade, with a remarkable crop resulting. For in due season the field was white unto harvest with a mighty yield of bond issue in a time of peace, idle fac- tories. tramping laborers, Coxey armies, ragged breeches, shanghai shadow soup and poor prices eyerywhere. Then arose Uncle Samuel in the midst of his wrath and spoke unto the sower saying: “Grover, git! Depart unto the dun- geons of political darkness! Hie thee away to the shimmering waters of Buz- zards Bay, there to follow the gentle craft of Sir Isaac. Go quickly, ere I dash my No. 13 into the midst of thy rear rotundency!” And Grover went away sorrowful, for he had hopes of great riches—and a third term. Then Uncle Samuel opened his mouth again, and said: “Son William,” whose surname was McKinley, “sow in my field this year.” And William went straightway and sowed in the very same field, but he had good seed, to- wit: Protection, sound money, and such. Again the field brought forth abund- antly, but this time it was an overflow- ing treasury, busy factories, employed labor at increased wages, clothed, fed and well paid people and good pay for all produce. Then was Uncle Samuel made much glad, and he smiled a smile of great joy, and said: “I will have this seed sown in my field forever more.” And all the people were well pleased, and shouted with a great shout, say- with its mighty might, was going to ing: ‘Let this be true.”—Ex. Mgr. Bryax also promised that if elected he would not be a candidate again. So far, the promise has been kept. ———— —— Uxper President Roosevelt’s admin- istration the prestige of American di- plomacy is recognized throughout the world. ee Deyocrars might not feel so badly about Tom Watson’s criticisms of their actions if they did not feel that he is right about it. — Tre Democrats refuse to discuss the tariff issue because no two factions of their many-sided party agree upon any definite policy. ee — Axoruer thorn in the Democratic flesh is the fact that the American people take real pleasure in rewarding faithful servants. DeMocraTs are declaring for a cam- paign of education, but they never get very many of their students into the electoral college. Democratic leaders complain of par- ty apathy. Naturally, as men seldom care to fight when they know they have no chance to win. Tue New Jersey Democracy has a full-fledged bolt to offer as another ev- idence that New Jersey is not on the doubtful list this year. ee — TaE best the Democrats can say of their tariff policy is that it is as near like the Republican policy as they could get without infringement. Democrats admit that the Republi- can policies have proved beneficial to the country, but they want the priv- ilege of administering them. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has not found it necessary to revise his party’s plat- form. It was written for him in the record of Republican achievements, It was real political wisdom that in- duced the Democrats to send Carl Schurz into Illinois. His speeches will do less harm there than anywhere else. Justice BREWER warns the American people of the danger of transferring a man from a high judicial position to politics. The warning will be heeded. — tp It is an insult to the American voter to try to convince him that he does not know the difference between Republi- can performance and Democratic promise. Whe gL ThE farmers of the United States in 1896, under Cleveland and free trade, had corn to burn, while under Roose- velt and protection they have “money to burn.” ——————— ep Ir might hurt his dignity, bat it would better his standing if Judge Parker would promise that in case of his elec- tion he would not exchange John Hay for Dave Hill. ———— = A coix supposed to be the oldest in the world has been discovered. The Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency should be able to fix the date of its coinage. THE same party that is denouncing President Roosevelt as a “War Lord” today denounced Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant and an enemy of the Republic, forty years ago. A rree trade policy for America inures only to the benefit of those abroad. All foreign nations know this, and hence urge us to adopt it. Our loss would be their gain. Tre Democrats do not like the Presi- dent’s letter. The Democrats are not pleased with any document that is sur- charged with intelligent courage and the spirit of true Americanism. JupGe Parker declares that the Democrats, if successful in November, could not change the tariff, on account of a Republican Senate. It is a practi- cal admission that they would if they could. Tue standing army is 6.1 per cent. smaller per 10,000 of the population than it was under Jefferson. It is dif- ficult for the Democrats to make much headway with their alleged fear of “militarism.” Ix commending the Republican poli- cies which his party has so strenuously opposed in former campaigns, Judge Parker tactily admits he is glad the candidates for whom he has voted went down to defeat. THE more general the employment of the people the larger the production, and the greater the production the cheaper the price of commodities to the consumers who use them. Increased production is the result of protection. ————— JupGeE PARKER admits that his elec- tion would mean a four years’ conflict between a Democratic President and a Republican Senate, with the prospect that no desirable legislation could be enacted. Do the people want such a change? IT is not long since the Democrats advocated the repeal of the tax on state bank notes. In the event of their suc- cess, would they repeal the law? Such a currency would be worse than free silver, and as they have repeatedly committed themselves to the worst possible sort of money, a clear-cut statement of their position is in order. A single telegram is but a slight pro- tection from a flood of depreciated money. THE gold standard of currency ¢am never be “irrevocably” fixed until the Democratic party, in convention as sembled, endorses the . Republicem record and agrees not to attempt te tinker with it. That action has wnat been taken. —————— Tur New York Times declares thet the keynote of Judge Parker’s speech of acceptance is “domestic tranquil- lity.” Things were so tranquil in the last Democratic administration that a majority of American workmen became unwilling loafers. —_——— Deyocrars would like it better if Tom Watson would make his campaige in the South instead of in states where the Bryan Democrats still believe they were right in 1896 and 1900 and refused to be turned over to the faction of the party which they opposed in those cam- paigns. . et — Wo controlled the Democratic na- tional convention? John Sharp Wili- iams, of Mississippi, John W. Daniel, of Virginia, Ben Tillman, of South Caroli- na. The Bourbons were in the saddle and will ride down the Northern aad Western Democrats again, as they did then, if the House is Democratic. A Tur great free trade eclipse of ’93 te ’86 has not been forgotten by our lahar- ing men, and so long as they can by their yotes avert any similar catastra- phe it will be impossible for another Democrat to sit in the White House oe for another Ways and Means Commit tee to have a majority of free traders. SECRETARY TAFT has been speaking bis mind about President Roosevelt. He says: *‘In all my experience I have never met a man in authority who has less pride of opinion in the judgments that he has formed in respect to situs- tions presented to him for action thaa has Theodore Roosevelt. I have never met a man who was so amenable te reason, so anxious to reach a just con- clusion, and so willing to sacrifice = previously formed opinion as the Presi- dent of the United States. He is not a tyrant, but he is a leader. Does the American nation object to this? ee The Campaign Conundrum. This is presented as the latest politi- cal conundrum: Which is the most significant letter in the alphabet at present? Give it up? Why, the letter “R,” because it’s the beginning of Roosevelt and the end of Parker.— New York Sun. FEARFUL ODDS AGAINST HIM. Bedridden, alone and destitute. Such, in brief, was the condition of am old soldier by name of J.J. Havens, Versailles, O. For years he was troubled with kidney disease, and neither doctors nor medicines gave him relief. At length he tried Electric Bitters. It put him on his feet in short order, and now he testifies: “I’m oa the road to complete recovery.” Best on earth for Kidney and Liver troubles and all forms of Stomach and Bowel complaints.

In no previous campaign have the young men of the country, the so-called first voters, been so nearly unanimous on one side. The young voter of 1904 hardly without exception will cast his vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Mr. Roosevelt is himself a young man, and his energy, his honesty, his singleness of purpose to continue the policies which have made our young country the greatest nation of the earth, ap- peals to the young man who will cast his first presidential vote this year. Then, too, the young man knows that Republicanism means opportunity. It means progress in science, progress in agriculture, progress in manufactures. And the young man of to-day is a pro- gressive young man in whatever indus- try he may engage. Nearly a million young men will vate for the first time next November, and fully 90 per cent. of this vote will be cast for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. CURED OF LAME BACK AFTER 18 YEARS OF SUFFERING. “I had been troubled with lame back for fifteen years, and I found a com- plete recovery in the use of Chamber- lain’s Pain Balm.” says John G. Bisher, Gillam, Ind. This liniment is alse without an equal for sprains and bruises. It is for sale by E. H. Miller. re ee THE COST OF CLEVELANDISM. The contention of Vice Pprsidential Candidate Davis that the administra- tion of Theodore Roosevelt has been attended with extravagance in public expenditures, and the figures recently given out by Edward Atkinson on the same lines, have failed to convince the prosperous farmer and the busy me- chanic that a return to the conditions under Democracy and free trade dur- ing the administration of Cleveland is desirable. We are told by our Democratic friends that the expenditures under Cleveland were $2 less per capita thar under Roosevelt. But we had no war’ under Cleveland, or results of war. We had no Panama canal undertaking. We had no rural free delivery service. ‘We had no legislation looking to irriga- tion. Jut it must be admitted that we had one thing under Cleveland which we have not had under McKinley or Roose= velt. We had deficits year after year and a consequent increase in debt Nearly three-quarters of a billion dol lars was the cost of Clevelandism to the government alone, to say nothing of the cost of several billions to the people. et Seas Srealreaa hn a sab WERE * 2 5 1 #]
