ing early, and hardly had it breathed
its last before the water rushed into
the house in torrents. The Grape
was hung on the door to announce
the sad and double affection, anu
preparations were Immediately made
TOR its burial. There was 40 time To
notify sorrowing or sympathetic
friends of the afflicted father and
mother. At 3 O'Clock u neat, white
casket was borne to the residence III
a skiff and the tender remains were
placed in it. There were a few
friends who had heard of the demise
of the child who came in skIffs TO
pay the last sad tribute due the
dead. At three O'Clock the remains
were placed IN a skiff that was pro-
PEELED with mufled oars by John
Sturns and Ben Bogner. Thefuneral
train was composed of several skiffs,
and as 1t moved its way over the
troubled waters many were the sym
pathetic tears thst dropped from the
people who witnessed the sad and
solemn scene.
There was no funeIal sermon at
the house, owing to the fact that no
preacher could be found. The tuner
al train went down Elm to Brighton,
down Brighton to Madison. up Mad
ison to Hubbard, thence to the New
port and Covington bridge, where a
hearse was waiting to convey the re-
mains to their final resting place. The
grief-stricken parents followed In a
Iskif containing the remains. and In
deed deep was their grief as they
were following to the grave their
last child, this making the third that
they have lost since the beginning OF
the new year.

The hypocrisy OF Democratic pol
iticians. and the way the Congress-
men of that party from this State
are deceiving the people on the tariff
question, is tersely stated by Repre-
sentative Errett, of the Pittsburgh
district. He says:
The value OF Democratic probes
sions on the stump in favor of pro-
lection is shown by the votes Of the
Pennsylvania Democratic members
of the House on the pending tariff
bill. Mr.. Mosgrove invariably votes
with the Republicans, but he is a
Greenbacker. Mr.. Wise also coca
sionally votes with them, but all the
rest vote almost uniformly with the
free traders. On Wednesday night,
when the metal schedule was up,
they all voted to increase the duty
on charcoal iron, in which Governor
Curtin is personally interested; but
Immediately afterwards, on a motion
to reduce the duty on all steel but
crucible steel from sixteenths to four.
teenths of a cent, they all-Curtin,
Randall. Mutchler, Ermentrout,
Klotz and Beltzhoover-voted for it
Wise voted against it, but every 9TH
er Democrat from Pennsylvania vot-
ed against protecting thesteel indus
try of the State and country. In
deed. it is notorious here that the
Pennsylvania Democratic delegation
in the House, with the exceptions
have mentioned, can be depended
on all the time to vote regularly
with the free traders on every mo.
ton to reduce duties. The yeas and
navs cannot be called in committee
of the whole, but everyone who
notes the men who pass between the
tellers on a test vote can tell that on
every contest between the free trad
ers and protectionists every Pennsyl
vania Democrat is sure to 60 through
with the free traders. The charcoal
iron men made = great mistake II
putting Mr.. Curtin forward to advo'
cate their interests, inasmuch al
Curtin votes regularly with the fret
traders, and as he refuses protection
to everything else, he is not in a pc
sition to ask it for himself ant
friends.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1883-02-21

THE public is being constantly
assured by the Democratic reformers
of their desire to administer the
State Government on a basis OF en-
tire fairness 10 the masses OF the
people; vet when the question OF the
distribution of Congressional repre-
sentatives is approached, it will be
noted that all these fair professions
are totally ignored, and a determined
effort is being made to apportion' the
State so as to give the Democrats an
undue proportion of representatives.
For instance, can there be a good
and sufficient reason assigned for
breaking up this present Congress
ional district? The counties OF
Cambria, Somerset, Bedford AID
Blair are well grouped together, ac-
cess to all parts OF the district is
easy the interests of the people are
the same; their daily business rela.
tons has brought about a thorough
knowledge of each other the growth
of population has preserved the
necessary ratio for representation
and politically, the district is a:
evenly balanced as any one that car
he made; the Democrats having
carried it twice out of the last five
elections, and vet not a single bill
has been offered, nor a suggestion
made by a Democratic member Of
the Assembly that does not contem'
plate a discovering ofthis district. i
there is any other reason for this
proposed course thar a desire tc
swamp the Republican maiorities Of
Blair and Somerset counties, We fail
