Fiearing a “fake” duel ‘is. the latest method adopted by silly men to keep themselves before the public. CONSISTENCY occupies but a very small portion: of [a politician's. mind, which’ thinks only of how to ‘get there.” ] J : : THE movement in favor of a red-headed sign to boom the price of white horses. UNINSTRUGTED delegations to a Nation- al convention are the politicians’ delight; they give them an opportunity to “‘dick- er.” . CoNeREssMEN who can drop a public building appropriation” in the. slot will have no difficulty in getting a renomina- tion. » Ir Representative O’Ferrall thought to make Senator Hill feel bad by referring to him as a fox, he probably made a big mistake. New York City pays more than $100. 000 a year to stenographers, and yet only a small fraction of what the Tammany officials say is taken down. © BENATOR Parmer has proudly: doonsd the mantle of ‘some good western man,” and he says it fits. “Bill” Morrison however, says it is a very decided misfit. WirraoUT endorsing other things said by Bob Ingersoll, it may be said that his words, ‘He that hath a brain to think let him think,” contain much valuable ad- vice. Ex-SPEAKER REED is said to have an itching to take the scalp of President Harrison. It is certain that somebody will be sealped at the Minnespulis con- vention. HENRY WATTERSON'S idea of treating the race question—simply to trust in God that it may one day be straightened out —is away abead of his ideas on political subjects. Ir Grover Cleveland is ‘the logical can- didate”. of the Democrats, as Senator Palmer'says he is, why did the Senator announce himself a candidate for the nomination? , Europe would gain immensely from free competition with us, while we have nothing to gain but all to lose by -enter- ing the mad. grinding. impoverishing competition existing between European countries. For the first time in the history of ‘these United States onr exports exceeded a billion dollars for the twelve months ending March.81. We are living under a billion dollar tariff. That is the ex- planation. THE New York Grant monument as- sociation has reached the corner-stone and colored-lithograh stage of existence. It is now a toss up whether it raises the money to finish the monument or goes to sleep for another decade. A MEMBER of the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada, now sojourning in Chicago, says that the farmers in Canada are removing “by whole trainloads” to the United States. “Jerry Simpson and other calamityites, please take fotice. FRANCE has honored the authot of the ‘“‘Marsellaise.” the song of the French revolutionists of 1792 and of lovers of freedom everywhere since that time, with | a statue, His words. will live long after. the bronze effigy shall. ‘have crumbled to dust. ” «5 THE first official report by a trehury agent on the progress of tin-plate’ ‘making shows about sixty establishments. | ‘either constructed or constructing, ‘with, Hin. vested ‘capital of $4, ‘000, 000 anda’ oApici- ty of nidre than half the annual config. 1 tion of the country. Ir the silver men in the Houge lacked the nerve to vote their convictions when the free coinage bill was up, what evi- dence is there that they would act differ. ently should the election of President be thrown into the House? The question is pertinent, in view of the talk bv the friends of free coinage of an organized | effort to throw the election of President into the House for the purpose of getting a silver man elected. A PRELIMINARY statement -just issued by the Bureau of Statistics shows that ‘the value of breadstuffs exported last month was $7,685,154, against $2.854,417 in March last year. For the last three months the total was $24,696,969, against $7.500,726 for the same time last year. For the last nine months the total was $88,058,044, against $25,647.574 for the same time last year. Has the McKinley hill restricted the farmer’s market? Tae Brazilian Steamship Company, which is not a political organization, but a business corporation pure and simple, does not seem to have much faith in the assertions of the Free-Traders that réci- procity is a “‘humbug.” Before the reci- procity arrangements were concluded be- tween the United States and Brazil that company ran only four steamers a month between American and Brazilian ports; it now runs 14 steamers a month between those ports, this being niade necessary by the increased trade between the two coun- tries. THE STAR is not an advocate of the liquor traffic. In fact if THE Star had the power it would wipe liquor out of existence, but as liquor is manufactured, it is going'to be sold in some shape or form in every community where there are men who desire to drink it. Licensed hotels are cried down by Prohibitionists of every community, but they seem to forget that thrice accursed is the town without licensed hotels, where men get drunk on the vile and far more costly disgnised liquors sold at drug stores and other places. The worst era of drunken- ness that Salisbury ever had was when there was no licensed hotel in the town, but jug lines were in operation and *‘Bo- tanic Bitters” sold. It was during the jug line period that one of our citizens drank himself to death. It was also dur- ing that period when nearly every night there were many of our boys prowling around with jugs of the vilest stuff that ever was distilled. - But enough for our. town; let us talk about Berlin. It is known by all of us that Berlin is one of the good old anti-license towns that Prohibitionists delight to dream ¢ But it is also well known that there is about as much drunkennessin Berlin as in any other town of its size. The loeal paper of that town complains of the drunkenness that exists there, and the following is what the Berlin correspond ent to the Somerset Standard has to sa ‘Berlin has no whiskey saloons, n ther has she a law prohibiting the sale o! bitters, made of cheap whiskey and ju: énough bitters to pass them through t drug store as medicine. One of our in- habitants for some time las been in how-come-you-s0 eondition. La reached the point wheru in his eyes sti became snakes and bugs crawled ont his ears; back of all this was bitters how many bottles of bitters drank. depo- nent sayeth not, but the results are knows to all. This man is a citizen, but is los- ing the confidence of thinking men; h is a husband, but is trampling in the mire of drink the respect of wife: Le is a fath er, but is trampling on the affections and prospects of his children; he hus been church member, bat by his acts is inst ing his God. Drink is causing him wipe out the good of the past, m failure: of the present and a hell of i future; he is killing his body, prosti ing his mind and making shipwreck hig soul. It is time for him 1o put the brakes down; some think it is too la donot. The old hymn sang true, **W the lamp holds out to burn the vilest si ner may return.” No man is too far go to be saved. I hope this may react eye of the man; if so, stop, be a m | overcome your appetite, and take your | place again as an honest citizen, a ZOO husband, ' a true father, and an nu follower of Him who came to seé save the lost.” “ The above is not ealculated to encotir age anyone to sign liquor license tions, but simply to show that as long & liquor is manufactured it will be sold iv some shape or form, no fatter whether licensed hotels exist in a town or not THE STAR'S views on the temperance question are the same as those of Frane Murphy—ednucate the people against the traffic and the use of liquor as a beverage SHORT TARIFF SERMON. Our Foreign Competitors. In Great Britain the wages Average about one-half of the wages in the Unite 1 States. Pow of the working people of their homes. They have few, it luxaries—in fact many of our necessa of life are considered luxuries by them, Every penny earned is needed to make both ends meet, so that after years toil there is mot a doilar saved. and the poorhouse is the last home of hundreds if of thousands. In France the condition of the workin the laborers of this eountry. In Belgium two-thirds of the working class are women. Together with children "they work in the mines, in the fields and [in the mills. Home life as we know it not found: They simply exist. In Holland a man considers him fortunate if he earns $230 a year. eats meat but ogee a week, and saving is out of the question. In Italy meat is seldom eaten, even by a skilled mechanic. Average wages of males, $3 per week; females, $1.50. ! In Austria a mere pittance is all that is had by a large portion of the men and women, even after working 72 hours and more per week. Coarse clothing, poor and but little food and a miserable tite is the result. : In Germany, perseverance, patiénc industry and economy make the laborer’s lot somewhat better than in some other foreign countries. i In India and China a few cents must i; suffice the laborer, who lives on rice and : rats. Free-Trade in the United States means one of two things: SR Either our goods will be made oy the 3 laborers whose condition is described ; above— Or our laborers must accept the same wages and mode of living. An acid is now mized with sawdust, the whole mass molded into blocks or any other form, resulting’ in a fine material for building purposes. The blocks as- sume extreme bardness of surface, and are practically non-combustible. —Ex. The use and abuse of the title ““profes- sor,” in the United States, strikes every foreigner. The time was, even here, when this prefix carried with it dignity and commanded respect. Until lately a “professor” was supposed to be a teacher learned in some special branch, of science, an officer of a seminary, college or uni: versity. In these days the title *profes- sor” is not only applied to teachers in the common schools, (some of whom might almost be deserving of it,) but it has come to he the property of the horse: trainer, the corn-doctor, the sleight-of- hand performer, or any one else who chooses to appropriate it; so that those who really deserve it place no value the title. ' The writer some time ago saw in a city hotel the sign: ‘‘Professo George Washington Fortune. Boe Black.” Theirony of titular applicati could no further go.—Somerset crat. LE
