EDITORHAL REMARKS,
THE suit Senator Quay brought against
the Beaver Star, some time ago, for libel,
has been decided in Mr. Quav's favor.
Denioeratic papers had now bétter let up
on lying about Mr. Quay.
Tar Meyersdale Register wantstoknow
how much Salisbury capital and enter-
prise has done to develop this region.
Now THE STAR never bragged about
what Salisbury capital or enterprise has
done. lt only spoke of our resources.
But as to thut which the Register refers
to, we can say that for one thing Salis-
bury capital bought and donated nine
acres of ground in order to get the Stan-
dard Extract Works to locate here, which
is now running in fall blast and giving
employment to more men than any other
half-dozen manufacturing establishments
in Somerset county. It has also done
1 numerous other things, but that alone is’
more than Meversdale capital dnd enter-
prise has ever done. The capital and en-
‘terprise of that town all has to come up
here in order to make paying invest
ments, all of which we like to see. Let
them come, as there is money to be made
up this way. ne
THE Meversdale Register again
*stretches the blanket” bv saving that
THE STAR avers that Salisbury and the
region thereabout is dependent vn no
body. while pretty much everybody is de-
pendent on Salisbury. The Register
should tell the truth once in a while, just
for luck. ‘Tui 8TAR stated that Salisbury
is not dependent on Meyersdale for dny
thing, while Meyersdale has to depend on
Salisbury for a great many things. We
spoke the truth, too, but Meyersdale does
not constitute **pretty much everybody,”
as the Register puts it, although a few
conceited things down there of Geo. H.
Suhrie’s stripe have always been nuder
the impression that Meyersdale takes in
"| by far the greater portion of the world,
when the fact is it takes in nothing but
the class of people that believe all the
slush that from time to time appears in
thre Register.
LARGE fortunes could be made if some
of the old fossils engaged in country jour-
worth and sold for what they think their
wisdom and knowledge of journalism is
worth. Most of tlie old relics of that class
don’t know any more about modern jour-
nalism than a iog knows about geometry.
1f you want to behold a donkey in all his
glory, just take a look at the average
country editor who entered the journal
istic areun in some country town, some
twenty years ago. and who has remained
in the suine place ever since. The old-
time editors are much like the oid-time
“1 school teachers; they are firmly estab
lished in the old ruts and can’t tell the
difference between modern journalism
and a hill of potatoes. They have had
their day, and the bright, newsy country
papers of today are nearly all edited by
young men. Of course there are some
few exceptions to the rule, but not many.
“init.” The young men of today. are
the bone, sinew and brains of journalism.
The old-time editor has in most cases lost
his charms to soothe the savage breast,
and his journal is no longer a thing of
beauty and a joy forever.
Tne Meyersdale Register is in deep
water, and in order to keep from drown:
ing. is now grasping at straws, as it were.
‘But the way of the transgressor is hard,
and Mr. Bulirie will have to take his med-
icine. Mrs. Lydia Pinkham’ medicine
is the best for one in his predicament; as
he is evidently undergoing a change, and
the change seems to completely make a
grandmother of him. His case is indeed
a sad one.
In the first place. the editor of this pa-
per put a fair question to him in a straight
and honorable way—a question which a
plain “ves” or “no” would have answered.
But the question seemed to rattle him,
and instead of answering it in a manlike
way he made an attempt to be funny by
getting off some sneering remarks about
frontier journalism, ‘then going on to
state what ie customary in *‘civilized com-
as much as to say that west:
ern communities are not civilized. But
he soon discovered that he had put his
enormous foot into his spacious mouth,
and then, strutting around like an old,
hyphnotized hen, he tried to creep out of
the insult he had heaped upon the west-
ern people and sailed into Tur STAR moré
furiously than ever. But the wire edge
was soon taken off of him, and being
completely floored and no longer able to
‘hold his own, he last week made a sneak-
ing but pitiable attempt to use the thun-
der of one of our western enemies to lielp
him out. After rebashing a lot of the
dizzy rot from the Carleton Reporter,
which was published in that paper some
time ago by une of our cowardly enemies,
Mr. Subrie then tries to sinooth-over and
cover up his own cowardice by using the
following words, which last week ap
unalism could be bought for what they are.
The old know-it-all editors are no longer |
Notwithstanding his disposition th’ £0

cretion in genernl. The Times was a cred.
itable Journal, abuve the average Nebras-
ka paper in point and ability,
A lack of discretion, indeed! Well. if
we really do lack discretion in the news
paper business, we are very certain that
Mr. SBubirie isn’t the proper person to go
to to learn that virtue. Think of Edite
Suhirie’s being in the newspaper business
for some twenty years, and then being
the only editor in Somerset county ever
known to be so indisereet as'to publish
things of such a smutty nature as to make
one whole issue of his paper unmailablet
Yet the editor of that great smut mill
wants to pose ss & model of discretion!
What a doukey lie must be in the eyes o
the public! ‘Physician, heal thyse
But of course the editor of THE STAR
is bad and indiscreet, because the Meyers
dale Register has said so; and if the Reg
ister is to be believed. perhaps we wil
some day goto the ‘bad place.” B
is safe to say that Mr. Sihrie will nc
there, for he is too green to burn,
The Btar-eyed Goddess of Justice Gives
Meyersdale a Fow Solid Facts to
SALsBURY, Pa., Ja 207 1892
To THE STAR: —If we knew noth
Meyersdale but what we leapued
its newspapers, we would suppose
is one of the most ‘thrifty and en
ing cities in Western Pennavlvani
we are thoroughly familiar with itand
its prosperity.
We would have been content to
die in peace, had uot the Register spoken
sngeringly of our own good old tow
We think it tinie to strike back. -
Meyersdale has some years since reached
the acne of its development and isin
state of gentle decline. Eight or te
years ago it was the mercantile center
our county. It drew largely from Sal
bury, Grantsvil'e, Garrett, Rocky 00
Ursina, Glencoe, Berlin and minor po
In justise we will say to the Commercia
that much of this is due to it as an ad er
and the above named towns and their re-
spective neighborhoods are “supplied
home. ¥
Salisbury now has better zonetalst
and sells more goods than Meyersdale.
Tt is even now erecting a mammoth ha
ware store and town hall: as good a s
and # better hall than Meyersdale
had. As for gnpital, it had sufficient
donste 9 acres of land to the Extrac
Works, now located here, a plant
cost $50,000 and annually expends that
sum for material and labor. 1 :
largest plant in Somerset county.
Again, Salisbury contributed to Meye
dale all its newspaper talent and many
other of its most prominent citizen i
They were drawn there in the days of i
prosperity, before the merchants who
bailt it up had sold their stores and either
left the town or eugaged in other bugi-
ness.
The only manufacturing plant Meve
dale had has deserted it and moved |
Hyndman,
It never had any mines, and mendacity:
alone invented “The Meyersdale Coal
Fields. Peter Lesley, the State geologist :
never discovered them, as you will learn
by referring to his works. On tHe oth
hand, every amateur geologist in the sta
is familiar with the “Elk Lick Coal
| Fields,” lying all around the western side
of Salisbury and within one-half mile of
its center.
If Meyersdale sends out miners they :
must always come towards Salisbury, and
the nearer they come the better coal they
will ind. ‘The vein of bone coal that ex:
ists in-the coal found between Meyersdnle
and Salisbury, here runs out, and only
good, pure coal is found, the coal
gives this region its reputation. Unless
Meyersdale extends her already strained
city limits and takes in the remainder of
Summit township and Boynton, or East
Salisbury, it must soon cease to be Hie :
“Metropolis.”
But why kick a corporation any re
than an individual when he is going down :
hill, and Meyersdale is going that way. =
No matter if the town is bonded | 1
pike its streets. ;
No matter if they are ornamented with
fire plugs.
No matter if the glare of electrici
nightly thrown on them. :
No matter if its National bank has de
generated into two private ones.
No matter, we say, all is vain, and like
ancient Bruges or Venice the glory
merchants has departed, as have a
many of its citizens. Boon naugh
remain but the ‘Raging Flangherty
animate its stillness, and naught but w
to inflate its pride. -
It you have capital to invest where you
realize on it, if you want employmen
good wages, if you desire the soci
a moral, energetic and upright clas
people, and when you are driven by
decline of business’ to leave Meye
come to Salisbury. If you wunt
goods, cheap, come to Salisbury.
