THE trouble with Mr. Davis seems to be that his capital is not as active in the cause as he is. CLEVELAND warns his pariy not to treat politics with light-hearted care- lessness. They need the warning. THE burning Democratic issue just now is the selection of a scapegoat to go on duty on the morning of Novem- ber 9. Ix lauding Lincoln and McKinley the Democratic orators seem to imply that no Republican is a statesman till he is dead. OTHER people may have been enjoy- ing the fine October weather, but the Democrats are conscious that their plans have suffered from an early fall. CLEVELAND may think the Democrat- ic methods savor of light-hearted care- lessness, but he made no such accu- sation against President Roosevelt’s action in the coal strike. a GEE Bourke COCKRAN passionately asks, “What shall we do with the men who have burdens greater than they can carry? As a beginning, Mr. Cockran might get off Judge Parker’s back. JorN TEMPLE GRAVES, the Democrat- ic editor of the Democratic Atlanta News, in a leading editorial defends lynching and advocates the revival of the Ku Klux Klan for terrorizing the Afro-Americans of the South. John is an important cog in the Democratic machine, and he openly advocates what secretly for years. . New Britain, Conn., says: Mex familiar with the country seem to think that the Filipino spellbinders are worth just about as much as the anti-imperialist talkers in this country, as exponents of public opinion. ern THE American manufacturer and the American workingman must decide whether they want a continuance of “McKinley prosperity” or a return to Cleveland’s “tariff for revenue only.” It is just about as easy for the Par- ker people to convince themselves that they are going to sweep the country this year as it is for a man with a jump- ing toothache to get rid of it by mind cure. ———— DEeMocRATS are making the most of Judge Parker’s domestic virtues. It was not ever thus—four of their candi- dates were bachelors, namely, Van Buren, Buchanan, Tilden and Cleve- land. PArkER and Dayis Clubs are being formed in Mississippi. Now that the Afro-Americans have been disfranchis- ed and few white Republican votes are counted, the reason for such political activity is not clear to the average mind. August BELMONT is said to have backed out of the campaign, to the great wrath of the grabbers. This seems to indicate that Belmont bought Parker on the installment plan and thinks he hasn’t got the worth of his money. THE vice presidency has been vacated by death as often as the presidency— five times. The Democrats are invit- ing a repetition of this calamity by nominating a man who has one foot in the grave. However, Mr. Davis will not make the sixth vice president to die in office. He will die at home, in his bed, a private citizen. Tne Republican party is always do- ing the ‘“impossible’—judged by the belief of the Democrats. In 64 they were saying that the South could not be whipped ; in ’77 they were shouting that specie payments could not be re- sumed ; in ’96 they whined that the rural free delivery was no go; in 1900 they were cocksure that the Philippines could not be pacified. In view of so many unfulfilled prophecies, the Demo- crats ought to go out of the business. A HEAVY LOAD. To lift that load off of the stomach take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat. Sour stomach, belching. gas on stomach and all disorders of the stomach that are curable, are instantly relieved and permanently cured by the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 8S. P. Storrs, a druggist at 297 Main street, “Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure is giving such universal satisfaction and is so surely becom- ing the positive relief and subsequent cure for this distressing ailment, I feel that I am always sure to satisfy and gratify my customers by recommend- ing it to them. TI write this to show how well the remedy is spoken of here.” Kodol Dyspepsia Cure was discovered after years of scientific experiments and will positively cure all stomach troubles. Sold by E. H.

As election day draws near, all sen- sible Republicans who had been de- ceived into joining the so-called Citi- zens’ Union party are deserting the mongrel and returning to the party of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Roose- velt. Prominent among those who at- tended the Citizens’ Union convention on July 30th was John J. Bowser, of Boynton, who has returned to the Re- publican party like a man, seeing that he had made a mistake. BowsEkR’S STATEMENT. To the Commissioners of Somerset county, Pa.

When the Citizens’ Union aggrega- tion nominated Elijah Livengood for Poor House Director, Tur Star told them that Mr. Livengood would refuse to be their candidate, and time has proven that THE Star was correct. In fact THE STAR is noted for being cor- rect in what it says, bat the Citizens’ Union fellows are too slow to “catch on” until nearly knocked down by cold, hard facts. Mr. Livengood was nominated by the great aggregation of self-appointed martyrs without his knowledge or con- sent, and when he told them that he would not accept the nomination, they seemed to regard his word as no better than their own, and before Elijah knew it his name was on the official ballot. Now Mr. Livengood comes out over his own signature and explains matters, telling all his friends not to vote for him, but admonishing them to stick to the good old . Republican party, to which he still is loyal and true, and he claims no part with the Citizens’ Union ticket. Mr. Livengood has no quarrel with the union men or the new fangled party,but it is a well known fact that he is opposed to the way labor unions are usually conducted. While he con- cedes the right of men to organize, he nevertheless believes that the man who steers clear of unions and tries go suc- ceed on his own merits, is the man who follows the wisest policy and usually rears the best and most useful citizens, Mr. Livengood is a man who is gen- erous and most kindly disposed, and while he thanks the Citizens’ Union people for their good will, ete., he is nevertheless too honest a man to run on a ticket he is not in sympathy with. Following is his ANNOUNCEMENT TO VOTERS. To THE VOTERS oF SOMERSET COUNTY :— Some time during the past few months certain persons representing themselves to be members of the Citi- zens’ Union party, prevailed upon me to be their party’s candidate for Direc- tor of the Poor. I declined the ofier, saying I did not want any office at the hands of any political party at this time. Contrary to my wishes or ex- pectations, however, I was nominated by the said Citizens’ Union ‘party for the office aforesaid, to be voted for Nov. 8th, 1904. As socn as I was noti- fied of my nomination I again declined, but I understand that those who nomi- nated me will have my name printed on the official ballot in spite of my protest. Now, while I thank the Citizens’ Union party for their good will and the honor they seek to confer upon me, I am nevertheless not a candidate for office, and request all my friends not to vote for me on election day. Further- more, I am a Republican and request my friends to vote the Republican ticket. Evr1san LINENGOOD. Oct. 31st, 1904. THE STAR stated early ‘in the cam- paign that the Citizens’ Union party was made up largely of men who do not know what they want, and would not have sense enough to get it if they actually knew what they were after. The nomination of men not in sympathy with their cause proves our assertion. They ought to go to school a while yet, also study pelitics more closely, and then they would learn, if not too prejudiced, that neither the Republi- can party nor any of its candidates in this campaign have ever done them a wrong. The Citizens’ Union party is only a spite movement gotten up to please men like Ed. 8. McCullough, the rabid Socialist and unworthy labor leader. Men who are fools enough to follow him into oblivion and destitu- tion deserve no sympathy for their fol- ly. Not one of his followers can point out a single benefit they would derive if they could elect their spite ticket, which leads a few dollars to McCul- lough’s pockets and nothing but disap- pointment to the fellows who are ex- pected to do the voting. Vote the Re- publican ticket and thereby stick to the people that can and will often do you much good if you prove yourself faithful and worthy. No rainbow chaser ever reached the pot of gold said to be at either end of the bow. DISASTROUS WRECKS.

The bids for the handling of the Som- erset county court house bonds were opened and tabulated on Thursday last. Kountze Bros., of New York, were the successful bidders. and they pay the handsome premium of $16,627.50. It will be remembered that the Som- erset Herald has been accusing the county commissioners of dark lantern methods in the sale of the county bonde, and only last week that corrupt, disreputable and unreliable journal ac- cused the fiscal agents of the county of leaving many fences open for graft. The facts, however, give the Herald thelie, and the figures published below show plainly that the only persons after graft were the Somerset Trust Company gang, of which George R. Scull, manager of the Herald, is the head. It will be noticed that the Som- erset Trust Company were the lowest bidders, and that the difference be- tween their bid and that of Kountze Bros. is $15,352.50, which represents the size of the graft the Scull gang would have landed if their henchmen would have had control of the Commissioners’ office. Following are the bids of the various firms that wanted to handle the bonds. BIDDERS. PREMIUM. Somerset Trust Co., Somerset, Baresi iisaisariyanense anit $ 1,275.00 Edward B.

Mahlon Walker, a prominent mem- ber of the snide Citizens’ Union party, went to Somerset recently and offered to betray the political cause he recently espoused. He went to Republican leaders and offered the services of him- self and his immediate friends for $200. If that price could be secured, he said that he would return to his home at Meyersdale and at once proceed to de all he could for the election of the whole Republican ticket. He said he was getting tired of the Citizens’ Union scheme, and added that if he could get the price he was after he would let- that fake party go to h—Il, or words te that effect. But Judas Iscariot Walker did not get the price, as the. Republican party is not quite that hard up for votes, and it was very wisely. . decided to let Mr. Walker go to hades along with the crazy party he helped to organize. Charles Streng. one of the Citizens’ Union candidates for the Legislature, was also in Somerset, last Saturday. He, too, seemed to be hungry for boodle, saying it was beginning to look to him as though he was being used as a tool for the benefit of other candi- dates. The big fool ought to have had sense enough to see that from the start, but neither colleges nor schools can make those wise who are strictly fools. Candidate Streng intimated very strongly to prominent Republicans ir Somerset that he would get off the ticket if proper inducements were of- fered. The voters will offer the proper inducements on Nov. 8th, and Mr. Streng will be off of the ticket and far up Salt river before seeing the dawn of the next day.
