Ir the lately deposed bosses expect the people to restore them to power, they are destined to be treated to a “surprise.”—Berlin Record. Tue Somerset Herald and its first lieutenant, the Meyersdale Commer- cial, are fighting the Republican party to the extent of their ability, because they allege the public officials have been grafting. Both papers have fail- ed to state who has done the grafting, or when it was done. The taxpayers will recall a case of graft, or perhaps some of them will apply a more drastic name to it, that occurred in 1896, when those two papers charged the county $5687 each for printing the election proclamation. Last year the same ad- vertisement cost the county less than thirty dollars per paper, but neither the Herald nor the Commercial had anything to do with it.—Somerset Standard. TaE poor old Somerset Herald con- tinues to blubber, bellow and bawl about the “great cost of the new court house,” and it tries hard to mgke the tax-payers of the county believe that the new temple of justice will impov- erish us all. If also tries to make the tax-payers believe that the Herald is the great champion of the people and that it is greatly concerned about their financial welfare. But any man with horse sense can easily see that the Herald is only making “a grand-stand play for financial and political benefit for its owners, George and Robert Scull. The Sculls are not sincere in their wailing, and they well know that the property-owners and tax-payers of Som- erset county will never in the least feel the small additional taxation that the new court house makes necessary. If the Sculls believed their own silly twaddle, they would not now be erect- ing a building at a cost of many thou- sands of dollars in which to carry on their banking -and money-lending busi- ness. They would not be such fools as to build so expensively if there was the least likelihood of being robbed by tax- ation thereon, as they try to make other property-owners believe. All the Scull brothers are after is to get back to the public crib, where they have fed fat nearly all their lives, and if placed there again it will once more be a case of $567 election proclamations and “the public be damned.” The offices of this county are conducted with marked ability and honesty, and no reform ‘whatever is needed. Even if official reform were needed in this county, such fellows as the Sculls and “Edwie” Werner would not be the proper people to look to for it, or to be made the chief beneficiaries thereof. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Tae Philadelphia North American is kept very busy, these days, extoling the virtues of Mayor Weaver. Only a few months ago the same paper was kept just as busy denouncing him and cartooning him as the very prince of political scoundrels and weaklings. In fact the Mayor of Philadelphia was considered so bad that the church people of Philadelphia held prayer meetings and prayed to God to reform him. Weaver, in the meantime, laugh- ed up his sleeve and steadily refused to be converted to the Wanamaker inter- ests by means of prayer. After the praying failed to do the work, other means were resorted to to win the Mayor over to the Wanamaker gang of hypocrites, and if we had the price that we believe was paid to John Weaver in cold cash, we wouldn’t care who was Mayor of Philadelphia. Any- way, we do not believe that Weaver's heart has changed one particle. He may or may not have been the knave he was formerly painted by the North American, but one thing is sure, his portraits all resemble the face of a villain, and if he was .crooked during all the time the North American said he was crooked, the chances are that he iz a very crooked stick yet. We never had any faith in these fellows that get so Godly good all at once. Besides, what sort of reform can be expected from the new City party of Philadelphia, the ward heelers of which have come right out of the organiza- tion that the Wanamaker crowd has all along been charging with ballot-box stuffing, repeating, etc.? Whenever an alleged ballot-box stuffer professes a change of heart and joins the Wana- maker forces, he is received with open arms and at once lauded to the skies as a saint and a patriot. If the old Phil- adelphia organization is a black kettle, it: is a sure thing that the Wanamaker gang is a very black pot. $150.00 for Subpoenaing Witnesses Constable J. C. Bentley, of Boswell, called at the County Commissioners’ office, Tuesday, where he received a check for $150.10 for subpoenaing wit- nesses for the September term of court in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Mrs. Carrie Simpson, the negress who was convicted of murder. It will be remembered that a new trial was granted to Mrs. Simpson and that the case was on the calendar for trial at the September term of court. On account of the absence of Judge Kooser from the bench, the case was continued. The witnesses upon whom the Com- monwealth depends to establish its case are widely scattered, and the greater portion of Constable Bentley's bill was for mileage.—Somerset Stand- ard. And thus does the monumental fool- ishness and outrageous expense in the Simpson case continue. The negress shot and killed Minnie Friedline in cold blood, was properly and promptly found guilty of murder in the first degree, and she should have been hanged higher than Haman, long ago.

Fire Believed to be Due to the Bad Moral Effect Labor Agitators are Having on the Illiterate Element in George's Creek Region. Lonaconing, Md., Oct. 13.—The two- story building of the Lonaconing Starx was destroyed this morning by fire, causing a loss of over $9,000 and re- sulting in the death by suffocation of A. J. Wheeler, the book-keeper, who slept on the premises. The entire building was in flames when discover— ed, but the prompt work of the loeal fire companies saved the adjoining property. The fire is thought to be of ineendiary origin. The presses, type, stock an@ files were all destroyed, and so rapidly did the fire do its work of destruction as to convince those engaged in fight- ing it that coal oil or some other in flammable fluid had been used. Mr. J. J. Robinson, the editor of the Star, was in Pittsburg at the time of fire, and Mr. A. J. Wheeler was attend- ing to getting out the edition due this morning, which was ready for the press. It is thought that after finishing his work, Mr. Wheeler went to sleep and was overcome by the smoke. His re- mains were found near the door lead- ing out of the office room. Mr. Wheeler came to Lonaconing from Pittsburg, about 22 years ago, and was first engaged in the oil business. Coroner C. F. Murphy took charge of the remains, and a jury, of which Mr. J. J. Bell, of Lonaconing, was foreman, held an inquest. Foreman Scott, the last man to leave the building last night, was positive there was no fire about the place when he left. The forms of the Star, which had not yet been printed, were found to be only slightly damaged, and the paper will be issued tomorrow, either from Mr. Robinson’s Frostburg office or in Cumberland. Mr. Robinson, editor and publisher of the paper, returned tonight from Pitts- burg. He stated that the building an® plant were partially insured. Mr. Wheeler, who lost his life, was about 60 years old, a native of Cambridge, England. While the coroner’s jury was unable to fix the crime of firing the building on anyone, a young man of Lonaconing is suspected of setting fire to this and several other buildings recently in Lonaconing. The matter will be brought to the attention of the grand jury now in session. ANOTHER PARTY. The Meyersdale Commercial, it seems, brought forth another party— the “Citizens-Union” party, putting in the field a full ticket in opposition, as is said, to the ‘“boss-made” tickets (regular Republican and Democrat) which it is further claimed do not rep- resent the wishes of the voters of the county. In the eyes of the Commercial party and its promoters, the popular will of the people is not expressed by the regular tickets—that is the reason they give for bolting them. Ergo the Commercial contingent is the popular voice, and their ticket is not made by a handful of “bosses,” but is the choiee of the people at large! Expressed, of course, by unhampered popular vote or in mass convention! Gee! What ef- frontery! The brazenry of such an as~ sumption in view of the facts! Voter, what are the facts? To give their ticket a little semblance of sin- cerity, they endorse Begley, regular Republican nominee for Sheriff, Ray- mon, regular Republican nominee for Surveyor, and Zimmerman, regular Prohibition nominee for Commissioner. They then nominated for nine other offices, a majority of whom (5), Wag- ner, Walker, Werner and Ankeny, wers defeated at the Republican primaries last spring, and Donges, defeated ar the Democratic primary, who had pledged themselves not to oppose the regular ticket, if defeated in the pri- mary. Voters, does the action of these mex look like disinterested reform, or hasn® it clearly the ear marks of self-seeking office-hunters? By what hokus pokus process can you believe this little hand- ful of office seekers, in the darkness of the Commercial office, nominating themselves, ehiefly, can be worthy of the serious consideration of honest voters? Not only a “boss-made” ticket, but brazenly asks you to vote for the bosses who nominated themselves fo® office.—Confluence News.
