It will have a ca- pacity of 1.800 boxes of tin plate per week. ! StepEEN B. ELKINS has been appointed Secretary of War by President Harrison. The appointment is a great surprise to most people. Tt is generally considered as a political move of Mr. Harrison's, to help his chances for a second term. Tae next National Prohibition conven: tion will be beld in St. Lolifs, June 20th and 80th. As there are lots of big brew- eries in 8t. Louis, our cold water breth: ren should be very careful, lest some of them return from that city with highly flavored breath. AND now Liverpool bobs up and says that as a trade center which the ruinous McKinley bill ly red all means, Mr. Cleveland, will not take part in. the World's fair. How sad it must be to American work- men to know that ‘the McKinley bill doesn’t suit England, | Tuer lottery question has caused a split in the demoeratic party in Louisiana. A split has long been needed in that party, especially in the South. It is not likely, however, that Louisiana is going to be a Republiean state on account of the split, us. some newspapers think will be the case. No woxpkRr that the United States is the best nation on earth. It reads and supports as many newspapers as Eng- land, France, Germany and Russia com- bined. To be an American is greater than a king. My Country ‘tis of Thee, Hail Columbia, high, low, jack and the game.

Field of Atlantic cable fame, iis charged with stealing nearly $2,000,000 in money, bonds and stocks that had been intrusted to him, and is now in jail. About three-fourths of the sons of great mien are not worth the powder it would take to blow them up. - Tr looks a good deal at though we are going to have war with Lhili, Well, “Uncle Smn” ought to take that saucy and blood-thirsty little republic across his knee and gently caress it with the broad and mighty palm of his powerful hand. If Chili fools much longer with this great nation it will be chilly in reality us well us by name. IT is now reported that Barnum and Noah are quarreling up in Heaven. It ig said that each ¢laims to have had the biggest menagerie on earth. As our tele- phone is jut of order, and not knowing where the report originated, we do not give this as official news. But we'll side with Barnum, anyway, as he was a good | advertiser, and advertisers are always in the lead. GREAT men have uttered many things that will doubtless pass through all ages as being both wise and true; yet many of them are not only untrue, but actual ly absurd and ridiculous. For example, we will quote one of Longfellow’ Ss 8ay- ings: ‘Every man is in some sort a failure No one ever reaches the heights to which he aspires.” How nntrue! How ahsurd! Many men have reached the heights to which they aspired, and many more have gone far beyond them. Many men who have scarcely aspired to anything higher than to live and move and have their being, huve become great and risen far beyond their most sanguine expectations or aspi- rations. “Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” A max who claims to be an intimate friend of Grover Cleveland, and also claims to know what he is talking about, says Mr. Cleveland is not in the Presiden- tial race at all. He says his wife objects to Grover ever being president agrin and that her wishes will be respected by the great heavy- weight ex- president. Well, this paper is of the opinion; that onr fat friend should by all means heed the ad- monitions of ‘his dear little wife, for if he ghould become the Democratic nomi- nee again he would find after the election that the majority of the American voters also objected to his being president again, and that's where the-unpleasant part of it wonld come in for Mr. Cleveland. By respect’ the wishes of your wife. At any rate don’t ‘contribute a $10,000 check toward a re- election, . as yon did in 1888,. for if ybu run again your name will be Dennis Mud, just ag it was then, and we'll bet that Dave Hill, of New York, has the same opinion we have, and Dave is noted for having a head as long as a churn. Lire is short and time is fleeting, and men live aud move and have their being today. while tomorrow they may be too dead ‘to skin. Man knoweth not what hour he may have to turn.up his toes, nor whether he will have to die with his bootson or off. In other words, the ways in which men ‘‘pass in their checks” are numerous and as varied as they are nu- merous. Here is an example of some of the queer ways in which men are some- times raked in by the ‘grim reaper:” Here the noble seven sleep, in their mameless graves, where the summer zeph- yrs weep, and the willow waves; let them slumber sweetly on, in Death's somber chains, lying still and cold and wan, free’ from tears and pains. ers. they were men, in the days ‘of yore; t he | but we'll see them ne'er again ti They were broth- || world is o'er. William took Ins little gun. on s morning fair, and benesth a smiling sun, went to hunt the hear. He was sure the gun had not, loaded beers that day, so his face with smiles was fraught, as he went his wav. And they found him lying prone, inthe twilight grav; all his forehead had been blown many leagues away. So they hid him here to vest, while hic hrothers wept: with his gun upon his breast, here lie: calinly slept. Bimon went'to Meyersdale, minus his canoe; on important business bent, down the street he flew; but slag, he slipped and fell, near the Main street shore, and beneath the murky swell, sunk to rise no more—till they fished him from : the flood, in the eventide; and he slee enrolled In mud, here by William's Peter sat beside a stove, filled with line; pleasant memories he wove, of his youth serene; then the neighbors hes a crash, and a dismal thud, and ns qui as lightning flash, fell a shower of blood, Then they gathered his remains, will tablespoon—save his features, bones an brains sticking to the moon—and by mon’s side he sleeps, near where Willia les, cand the wind at evening we ‘neath the mourning skies Henry. sleeping car, on his journey sped, was in a region far. numbered witl doad; tor the bridges on that road, were made of straw, and the train w ad its load, sunk to ruin’s maw: and t found pour Henry there, weaphed are filled with.sand and earth; i hi were burned away, nearly to his ing now. ‘James, a youth with fiery ey thought he was defamed, when an edit near by, all his follies named; 8 songht the printer's lair, with a clu oak, and the dust that eddied th seemed like battle smoke.

We were in error ast week in stating that the programs for the educational meeting were printed away from hom In regard to that we were misinformed. We thought the job looked too badt have heen done by a printer, yet we didn’t know that a blacksmith did it, Now while we feel thankful for the excellent job printing trade we have € joyed ever since coming here, and feel proud of the satisfaction our work in that line has given, we nevertheless thir some very outrageous inconsistencies have been indulged in by a few of our people, and the very people, too, wh above all others should encourage and patronize their local paper and giv every bit of printing they have to do, the following reasons: THE STAR is working for the best interests of the com- munity; it is a friend of education and labors for morality: it is a foe to immors ality “nd vice; it gives you the news of your town, making mention of improve: ments, laboring for the education of the. masses, reports the work of our schools’ and teachers, fraternal societies, churchi- es, etc., ete, In short, it dues everything in its power for the good of the commu nity. How much in thatline are you sc commodated to by a blacksmith prints who publishes no paper? 7 - In conclusion we will say that we fol i low the printing business exclusively f a living, have our trade and profession welllearned. We do not turn out wor that looks as though it was printed-with a poor quality of applebutter instead good printers’ ink, neither do we sel brass collar buttons, cheap socks and suspenders in connection with our busi: ness, nor run a gambling dive, either Fellow citizens, we appeal to your hoto —are we not justly entitled to all t printing this vicinity has to do? Isit not inconsistent to give printing to the only institution in your. town that up; poses your local paper!
