THE TUGBoAr COMBINE.
Only Intended to Establish Uniform
Prices for Towing.

The reported combine of the tug lines
only includes the nine sea tugs on the
Sound. One of the members says it is not
for the purpose of forcing prices up, but
to establish uniform rate and break up
the sharp competition which has existed
among the different lines
He said that it viii be an advantage 10
ships as well as to the managers of the
tugs, for now captains will know when
tug goes out to tow in their ships that
there is but one price and there is no use
waiting for some other tug to come out
and offer to do the Job for less.

SURF FOR DIVISION OF PROFITS.
Case Growing Out of Construction OF
Spokane Cable Line.

Spokane Cable Line.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2s.-A suit growing
out of the construction of the cable rail-
road of the Spokane Falls Cable Railway
Company was fled today. The plaintiff is
Alfred S. Moore, and the defendants are
Howard c. Holmes, Josiah o. Low and a
mercantile company. Moore represents
that it was through the efforts of Low and
himself that the contract for the construc-
ton of the road was awarded TO Holmes
They became sureties on his bond and es-
tablished credit for him in Washington,
The contract price for the construction of
the road was $147 600, and all three
entered into an agreement by which
Holmes was TO receive three-eighths
OF the profits and plaintiff
and Low were TO receive fiye-sixteenths.
The American oil Company, of which Low
Is president and iii which Moore was, but
Is no longer stakeholder, was selected to
act as trustee, under agreement. Moore
further alleges that the road has been COM
peted, and that all the provisions of the
contract have been carried out, except the
division of the profits. He asks for a de-
cree directing an accounting of all the
dealings aud transactions between plain
tiiis and Holmes and Low; also that the
American Oil Company be compelled 10
account for al moneys, bonds and securi-
ties received by IT.

The Price of Water for Steamers.

Considerable speculation is INDUCED in
along the water front as TO how the city
will settle the question of supplying water
for the boats. Ii is thought that each
dock will be charged for the amount of
water used and let the boats pay them at a
uniform rate enough higher to pay for
taking care of il. Others think that bv
fixing the rate and paying a percentage to
the docks for COLLECTING from the boats and
for giving a general supervision to the
matter, the city would get better satisfac-

As usual, the Democrats are claiming
everything in sight, and their journals
are trying to impress the country with
the idea that Pennsylvania Is within
their grasp. That this State, with its
magnificent Republican majority, is in
any danger of falling into the hands Of
its free trade enemies, is at frst sight
preposterous, and yet over-conidence
coupled with apathy, might bring about
such a calamity. We do not feel the
slightest alarm, but every intelligent Re
publican voter knows that a majority
counts for nothing unless it makes itself
felt at the polls. We are constrained,
therefore, to urge upon every Republican
in the county not only to cast his own
ballot at the coming election, but to urge
his Republican neighbor to do likewise.
This election is only skirmish for the
vantage ground in the great Presidential
struggle Of next year, and its loss or even
a largely diminished majority, will tell
with killing effect in that all-important
campaign. Our State candidates are both
veteran soldiers, against whom the enc
nv have not dared TO utter one word,
and it should be the duty of every sol
der as well as every Republican TO see
that they get full vote. For the sake
Of the grave party issues at stake, for the
honor of the State and old Somerset
county, We urge that full Republican
vote be polled.

1t Did Not pan Out.

ScRASros, Pa. Oct. 1s.-Charles Bowen,
Charles Engle, Wallace Snow and H. h
Hollister at noon yesterday robbed the SPen'
Ger pay Office in Dunmore Of sacks contain
ing 81 silver coins. The police had been
notified Of the contemplated robbery and 4
number Of officers followed tbs thieves tc
the barn of Engle and caught the men di-
viding the spoils. Snow has made 8 con-
fession in writing. Hollistir, it appears, is
an old criminal, and he is charged with
having planned the robbery. Ii was sup
posed that the sacks contained over $4,000,
but the gold had bean removed and conceal
ed and silver substituted. 1t was one of the
boldest robberies ever committed in tbs
county. The pay ofics faces on one of the
principal streets ofDunmore. Byron Brady,
the vafchman in the building, was taken
unswares by the gang and knocked down
before be could get hold Of his revolver. He
was then bound and gagged, after which the
burglars proceeded coolly to search for their

Nebraska's Governor.

WAsHISoTos, Oct. l5.-Ex-Attorney Gen
eral Garland, of counsel for plaintiff, will
next Monday file q motion in the Supreme
Court Of the United States to advance and
set for hearing the case of James E. Boyd,
plaintiff in error, versus the State of Nebras-
ka ex rel John NJ. Thsyer. The case comes
to the Supreme Court on a writ OF error
from the Supreme Court of Nebraska IL
involves the right 10 the Office of Governor
Of the State Of Nebraska for the period OF
two days from the first Thursday after the
first Tuesday of January, 1891. The su-
preme Court Of Nebraska held that Boyd
was not eligible to the Office of Governor, TO
which he had been elected, because be was
not citizen of the United States for two
years prior to Nov. 4, 1890.
Mr. Garland, in support of bis motion,
will argue that the Supreme Court has juris-
diction in the matter. Nearly one-half Of
plaintiffs term of office must expire before
this case can be finally determined, be that
as early as possible, and if the case is per
mitted to remain and ''bide its time" on the
docket, not only will such term wholly e1-
pire, but it is quite probable two other gen
eral elections will be held in Nebraska be
fore the controversy is finally disposed Of

PAttison apparently forgot the high po-

FLUsHED with the victory obtained last
wear in this State through Republican
divisions, the Democrats are boastful, IN
solent and aggressive. They ignore all
party issues, avoid all political discussion
and trust to win through the infamous
charge that Republican policy and Re
publican teachings lead to theft. The
Republican hss little self-resPect or re-
gard for his own good name who will not

GovEKNoK PArTIsoE and his gang have
got themselves into hole. In their hot
haste 10 convene the Senate in extraor-
binary session for political purposes, they
overlooked the fact that no provision
could be made for the payment Of neces-
sary expenses, except by sn act Of the
Legislature, duly passed and signed.
This fact being brought TO their atten-
ton, was sumner; but they ccolly turn
round and demand that the State Treas
urer, whom they are now trying on
charge of paying out money to John
Bardsley without due warrant Of law,
shall, without warrant of law, pay out
the expenses of this extraordinary ses-
sion, and wait until the meeting Of the
Legislature, in January, 1898, for the
passage Of law authorizing him 50 to
do. Could a more foolish and criminal
proposition be imagined? Absolutely in
sisting that an officer whom they are try
ing to unsest and disgrace for an alleged
illegal act, shall, while on trial for it,
commit the same act for their benefit
The matter has been reported TO the At
torney General, but with all his desire to
back up the Governor, be has not been
sble to lay his finger upon a single pro-
vision of law that covers the case. The
Governor and his gang are in 8 hole. Let
them struggle out Of it If they can; or
let them 90 down into their own pockets
and advance the money to pay fer this
attempt to make political capital.
