EDITORIAL REMARKS,
Tax tariff is a tax—on foreign ‘goods
which come in to silence American mills,
to drive American labor from employ-
ment and to turn a stream of money
from domestic circulation to foreign
shores. |
Tar McKinley bill will be made a part
of the next Republican platform, and it
is safe to say that the next Democratic
convention will do their level best to
avoid committing their party squarely
against nn. .

mestic employment; reciprocity extends
that era to the boundary of its capacity.
Irthe McKinley bill is ruining American
industries and pauperizing the American
laborer, why can’t the working men de-
mand the repeal of the law? What labor
organization has adopted resolutions in
condemnation of the measure?—Philadel-
phia Press.
CoLOoNEL INGERSOLL tells the Minneap-
olis Journal that “the alliance party is
only the old greenback party revamped
and halfsoled.” He might add that the
people who join'it will be a great deal
more than half sold. It will be a com-
plete operation.
THE Somerset Herald: last week reeled
off a large chunk of common sense in the
following:
Hereafter the Herald will charge ad-
vertising rates for resolutions of respect
adopted by religious and social organiza-
tions. Post mortem resolutions can be of
no benefit to the deceased and are very
uninteresting reading to the living.

‘a8 the state can show such statistics, no
one can ‘tak ‘‘barbarity’” to her. The
lash is the only thing to help the morals
of some men.

on the hiead in the following:
In his New England dinner speech,
last week, Mr. Cleveland confined him-

nated a new thought or idea nor advanced
a suggestion for the remedy of the evils
which he so glibly and flatly points.
THE attempt has been made to repre-
sent the advantages of the reciprocity

stowed upon manufacturers, and farmers |
have been told that this was another in-
stance of neglect of their interests. But
the fact is that of American exports of
articles made free by Brazil under the
treaty, 82.60 per cent are agricultural.

Tue Hayes County (Ill.) Republican,
lished in that county 88 years ago, pub-
lishes one item which reads as follows:
“It will cause great rejoicing among
housekeepers to learn that ten pounds of
an excellent quality of brown sugar can
be had at W. W. Anderson's store for
$1.00.” That was in * ‘the good old Dem-
ocratic days” when men worked for 50
pounds of brown sugar. Now a labor-
ing man can get about 75 pounds of brown
sugar for two days work, thanks to the
Republican party. Talk about your
“good old Democratic times!” Why,
there isn’t a man in Somerset county that
would want to return to them; no. net
even a democrat.
_ Gro. H. Svuarig, poor fellow, who has
long been trying to get up a circulation
for his paper in this vicinity, but who
has so far failed in doing so, last week

is extravagance equal to going to an oys:

for oysters, which it is said he once in-
dulged in at his ‘own peril. . But when a
‘paper is so insignificant as.to require blue

boot and shoe dealer in this city a few
days since, we could not help thinking
that only a year ago every Democratic
paper in this country was preaching to
the people that shoes would be out of
the reach of all but the rich immediately
‘upon the passage of the McKinley bill.
And yet this dealer gives the old prices
and advertises a net reduction of 10 per
cent from them: "We find that boots
and shoes are generally lower than they
were twelve months since. The same is
true of clothing and dry goods, while in
groceries there has been a marked decline,
especially in sugar. The McKinlev bill,
so called, as finally passed, was one of
| the wisest taxing measures ever enacted,
and it is working out its own salvation.
“Under its provisions the country is grow-
ing more prosperous every day —Atlan-
tic Telegraph.
TaE authorities of San Francisco a year
or 80 ago sent a crank to jail for alarm-
ing the ignorant and credulous by pre-
dicting the destruction of the city by
earthquake. There are several cranks
in Chicago, scientific or pseudo-scientific,
who ought to be locked up for predicting
| the destruction of that city by engulf:
ment. Their predictions are based on a
theory that the action of Lake Michigan
has washed out the earth beneath the
erust on which the city rests. They say
this is only sixteen feet thick; that it will
give way under the weight which is stead-
ily increasing upon it with the progress
of the Exposition buildings, and that
when it does the whole area of Chicagu,
and no one knows how much more, will
drop 40 feet to the next solid stratum.
The waters of the lake will pour into the
new-made gulf, and nothing will remain
visible of the metropolis of the West but
the lumber piles of the lake front on
which Chicagoans who escape the gener-
al disaster float away to some other water-
sidecity. The theory is that of the moon-
struck, but they can so fortify it with
facts misconstrued and with figures im-
agined as to easily cause as much mis-
chievous alarm as was felt in San Fran-
cisco until the prophet was sent to jail.
Besides that, and on general principle,
there are fools enough ‘abroad. particu-
larly in Chicago.—Pittsburgh Times.
That Carleton Testimonial.
We are just in receipt of a letter from
the editor of the Carleton Reporter, who
sends us the name of the thing that as-
sailed us through the Reporter's ‘columns
‘a few weeks ago.
The editor of the Reporter was rather
slow in sending us the name, but last
week's issue of THE STAR evidently
brought him to time, and now at the
eleventh hour he informs us that our as-
sailant is W. C. Bates.
Well, it really causes a smile to creep
over our countenance at the thought of
‘such an ingignificant, brainless thing as
as Bates assailing anyone, but yet he is
noted for ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain. It is characteristic of the
man, if man he may be called, to be cow-
ardly and two faced. = Butas the people of
Carleton know this as well as we do, we
should pay no attention to him, as it isn't
at all likely that he ever wrote the tirade
against us, anyway, as the language
isn’t his any more than it is that of Gro-
ver Cleveland. The name of Mr. Bates
may have been signed to the article, but
numerous letters that ‘we have received

we may be wrong, but that’s the way th
thing looks to us and looked that, wi
from: the start.
(As to the article in question,
which the editor of the Reporter says w
C. Bates wrote, it is hardly worth paying
any attention to. But we will review
few of its contents just for the fun of the
thing. In the first place, our assailant

Mr. Bates always spoke well of The
“Times to us, and many a time did he tell
us that The Times was a very creditable
paper for a town like Carleton. The
only way we can account for his littl
ness is the fact that The Times refused
to support him for office. He probably
feels sore because he hardly knew (by tl
election returns) that he had ever run for
office, ‘and being mad at things in gener-
al, he wanted to vent his spleen on some:
body, and our being over a thousand

distance, of course pitched into us;
