.The Independent Republicans are be-
stirring themselves aad notably in the

Scull. wears a tight fitting Cameron collar,

trict.
If the Dispatch man had written
that William II. Koontz, instead Of
"the Independent Republicans"
was bestirring himselffor Mr. Scull's
removal. lie would have been nearer
the truth, but ipasmuch as Mr.
Koontz furnished him the news,
and as ne is in the habit Of assum-
ing that he is the Republican party
of Somerset County, it was but a
small advance in egotism to style
himself the independent Repub-
Iieans" Of the nine counties consti-
tuting the district. DC that as it
may, we know that not siagie

ed for Mr.. Scull's removal outside
the faction of boltcrs End kickers in
this county that follows Koontz's
lead.
After ten days campaign at
Washington, Mr. Koontz, with his
protege. Ogle, returned on Friday
evening last, ald Oh Saturday a
petition was gotten up asking for
Scull's removal and Ogle's appoint
ment, which was signed by the Court
House clique who dance as "Boss"
Keontz pipes. including that Stall
wart Republican, County Commis-
sioner McClintock, and on Tuesday
Mr.. Ogle returned to Washington
with the precious document in his
pocket.
Outside the distillers in this
County, who are the heavy tax
payers, we presume, IN a business
point of view, It makes but little
difference 10 the people vino is
Collector. But to Republicans who
value principle, and who believe in
party integrity, and in preserving
the party organization, it is a matter
of much moment, whether Mr. Ogle,
who lent himself to the Greenback
bolt in 1873, that resulted in the
defeat of Genesal CAM bell for Con-
gress, IS to be exalted to position
under the new National admins
ton, and whether Republicans who
never wavered are TO be punished
simply because they do own them
selves, and VIII not obsequioGsly
submit to the dictation of Wm. II.
Koontz. and abjectly follow him
into the camp of the boilers.

A STORY OF STEEL PENS.

Few persons who use steel pens on
which. is stamped "Gillot" have any
idea Of the story of suffering, of indomit'
able pluck and persistence which belong
to the placing of that name on that
article.
A long depression in trade in England
threw thousands of Sheffield mechanics
out of work, among them Joseph elliot,
then 81 years of age.
He left the city with but shilling in
his pocket. Reaching Birmingham, he
went to an old inn and sat down upon a
wooden settle in the tap-room. His last
penny was spent for roll. He was
weak, hungry and i'll. He had not a
friend in Birmingham, and there was
little chance that he would find work.
In his dependency he was tempted to
give up and turn beggar or tramp. Then
a sudden fiery energy seized him. He
brought his fist down upon the table, de-
claring to himself that he would try and
trust in God, come what would. He
found work that day in making buckles,
which were then fashionable.
As soon as he had made pound or
two he hired garnet in Broad street,
and there carried on work for himself,
bringing his taste and his knowledge of
tools into constant use, even when work
ing at handmade goods. This was the
secret Of Gillot's success. Other work.
men trudged OH in the old ruts. He was
wide awake, eager to improve his work
or to shorten the way of working.
He fell in love with pretty sensible
girl named Mitchell, who, with her
brothers, was making steel pens. Each
pen was then clipped, punched and
polished by hand, and pens were sold
consequently at enormously high prices.
elliot at once brought his skill in tools
to bear upon the matter, and soon in
vented a machine which turned out the
points by thousands in the time that a
man would require to make one. He
married Miss Mitchell, and they carried
on the manufacture together for years.
On the morning of the marriage, the
Industrious workman made gross of
pens and sold them for $36 dollars to
pay the wedding fees. In his old age,
having reaped an immense fortune by his
shrewdness, honesty and industry, Mr.
elliot went again to the old inn, bought
the settle, and had the square on which he
sat that night sawed out and made into a
chair, which he left as an heirloom to his
family, to remind them of the secret of
his success.
