Mr.. EDITOR Some time last spring the
Somerset County Signal, edited by Rev. A. 8
Baumgardner, and published at stoyestown
in this county, published the names of 9
number of highly respectable citizens of thi:
place as having signed petition on re
application for license. The editor wa:
promptly informed of the mistake, but he
refused to make correction. He was alsc
requested to publish the petition that he
claims is q re-application for license, so that
the people might see and judge for them
selves, but this he also refuses to do. In or.
der to set myself and others right before the
public, through the columns of your pa
per made public denial, also asking Mr.
B. to make an explanation.
In the November number of the Signal he
again refers to me. and intimates that
have been trying to hide my actions from
the public, and that he has uncovered my
tracks. when he doubtless knows that have
made a public statement explaining the
whole matter, and that have also request
ed him to publish the petition to which he
refers.
] am now led to the conclusion that Mr..
B. published the falsehood Intentionally, or
he would agree TO make the proper correc-
ton. When / saw my name published
just as signer for license. thought it was
an unintentional mistake, and treated it as
such but in reply to my personal letter to
Mr.. B., he passes personal insult and per-
emptorily refuses to make any correction or
publish the petition in question.
do hereby intend to convey to the read
ers of your paper the fact of Mr.. BIS un-
worthy conduct towards those whose names
he saw fit to use in a wrong connection, and
that his conduct has been such as to make
him unworthy the confidence of those who
prefer that the truth and right prevail.

A GREAT NEwsPAPER-The Pali Mall Ga
zette, of London, England, did not overstate
the case when it said that The New York
Iadepeadent is zone of the ablest weeklies in
monthly or quarterly magazine, with all the
matter in its many departments. Any
monthly might indeed be proud If it could
show as distinguished list of contributor:
as The Independent. In a single department
its story department-we find, among
Englishmen, such contributors Ms Sir Sam
uel ". Baker, the celebrated Egyptian ex.
plorer Thomas Hardy, w. E. Norris, Jane:
Pawn, F. W. Robinson and Henry W. Lucy
the well-known and deservedly popular
novelists while among Americans We mo-
tice the names OF Edward Everett Hale
Frank r. Stockton, II. II. Boyesen, Sarah
O. Jewet;, J. s. of Dale, Rebecca Harding
Davis and Harriet Prescott Spoford. The
Independent printed also, recently, tie last
story from the pen of the late Ivan Tour
geneff. having secured the only translation
from the Russian into English. This de
partment is hut sample of the Others. 1t
would seem TO us that The Independent offers
not only "fifty-two dividends during the
year" but, in addition. stock dividend
with each department We advise our read
ers to send for free sample copy.

RECEIVING RErURss-A full definition oi
the word suspense is implied in the mat
Ter OF awaiting long-lingering election re-
turns. Tuesday night Republican head
quarters were at Chairman Scott's law Office
and the Democrats received the returns at
their comfortable rooms on the second floor
of the Baer Block. Duplicate teiegrarns
were written by the operators and were car
ned by boys TO the different headquarters.
As soon as those received by Chairman
Scott were read TO the eager crowd they
were sent to the HERArD Office. where there
was large number of Republicans awaiting
them. Telegram after telegram dropped
from the wires, and the general hurrsh and
loud cheering indicated that both partie<
had just enough news to make them feel
good. At one time when the news was fa-
vorable to the Democrats. several kegs OF
powder was laid in trains around the Dia.
mond and touched of. while the Bourbons
yelled as they hadn't done before in the
last tweuty-odd years. Shortly after this
news more favorable to the Republicans was
received and they at once built an immense
bonfire in the centre of the Diamond and
marched around it and yelled themselves
hoarse. A sleepy people passed a sleepless
night. enlivened only BY the alternate
cheering of the coptending parties, and the
beating Of drums and blowing Of tin horns
and rafting Of tin cans by the small boy.
Towards morning the matter appeared 50
irreconcilabIe that both parties concluded
to shut up shop for the night and wait for
actual returns the next day. Both sides
claimed the victory Wednesday, and both
have been claiming it ever since and both
viii continue to claim it until the Official
vote Of New York is announced. Although
the excitement ran high at times and consid-
erable money was staked on the result, We
are glad to say that the best of feeling has
prevailed throughout the long season Of sus-
pense, and we hops to see the same feeling
continue until the question is finally settled.
We believe Mr.. Blaine is elected.

CLEAN Ur.-This month is good time TO
clean up all the machines and farming tools
and put them away for the winter. A good
coating of oil upon the irou-work to keep it
from rusting and a coat of paint on wood
work to preserve it from the weather will
make them almost as good as new next
year-that is If they are good now. This
applies to farm carts and wagons as well as
to other implements. There is no better
month for painting than this, as the paint
dries moderately and makes hard, dry
coat, much better than it does if spread in
the hot days of July and August. The pat
ent ready mixed paints are So easily OBJ
tanned and used by tpro in the business,
and are so good that there is no excuse for
not using enough of them to keep things
looking well and nicely covered from the
weather OF course, while this work is be-
ing done, it will be natural to see that all
implements are in good order before paint
ing, with all bolts, screws, ard other part
all right.
