IGNORED; PROSECUTORS MUST
PAY THE COST.
THAT’S WHAT GRAND JURY SAID
IN ELECTION CASES.
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.

TWO SOWERS.
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.

about Tom Watson’s criticisms of their

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.

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.

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

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?

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. Only 50c. Guaranteed by
E. H. Miller, Druggist.
The Young Men Are For Roosevelt.
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

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.
