This thing of getting their bills, programs, etc., printed elsewhere, and then asking THE STAR to give all their doings a great send-off in its columns, is not a fair *‘shake” and will not go down. Genial Mart Hartzell, who is so well (and favorably known by nearly every- body in Somerset and adjoining counties, was in our city the other day. By re- quest of Mr. Hartzell we place the Johns- town Democrat on our exchange list, as be says it is (aside from its miserable pol. ities) one of the best newspapers in sev- enteen counties. He says the editor of the Democrat is such an sll-fired good fellow that the politics of his paper can bezzling registered letters and retaining | be overlooked: i wants THE STAR, the ah paper in Som- erset county. to exchange papers with our Democratic brother. The Berlin Record says: *1f you are pposed to high taxes and price-fixing trusts, subscribe for the Record.” The Record is doubtless a great trust smasher and tax annihilator. It should at once start a private graveyard to bury the trusts it kills. As for us and our house, all we have to say is this: If you want a live, progressive county paper, one that prints all the news, subscribe for THE STAR. Some country papers are so busy killing trusts that they have no that thou shalt not kill, but yet the Rec- ord keeps on killing trusts and does little else. Because THE STAR stated last week that the Meyersdale Register’s correspond- ent made some ridiculous blunders in his write-up of Beachy’s opera house, our esteemed contemporary rises up and re- marks that THE STAR is off a bit, saying that the said correspondent got his in- formation from Beacliv Bros. Well, it happens that Tae STAR got the informa- tion from one of the Beachy Bros. that the write-up .in the Register contained some mistakes that they were not respon- sible for at all. Our friend Wigginton simply made some mistakes in his figures, hardly intentional, however, and that is all there is about it. : We are informed of the publication of a novelty in the book line which is cer- tain of an enormous sale.

They will gladly mail deseriptive ciren- lars, sample views and terms to all, on application, For some time past there has been con- siderable trouble at Bovnton between Al- vin Thomas and Joseph Smith. Smith claims that Thomas has been annoying him and his aged mother for a long time, calling his mother all sorts of vile names and making himself generally offensive and obnoxious to them. Hesays Thomas came to their house a few nights sage, tramped down their garden vegetables, fired 8 revolver off several times anda called to him to come out, saying that he wanted to kill him. The next day young Smith had Thomas arrested and arraigned before Esquire Lichliter, where ho was bound over to conrt in the sum of $300; We regret that we must from time to time chronicle. such events as this, but the way of the transgressor is hard and we are here to print the news. : The following, from the Salt Lake Tribune. will doubtless be of interest to many of our readers, as it has reference to the marriage of Miss Alice Keim, a, former Elk Lick girl, to James Dryden; of Utah.. *“Mr. James Dryden of Logan, acted a double drama yesterday. In the forenoon he appeared before the Clerk of the District Court and took the oath of allegiance to the United States. At 12 o'clock noon he took the oath of al- legiance to a young lady of this city. Before the Clerk he solemnly renounced all allegiance to Queen Victoria. and later swore allegiance to another queen, who will hereafter claim his best fealty, In other words, this is a case of a Canadian being annexed to a united state. He evi- dently believes that one woman is enough to owe allegiance to at a time, and he will no doubt ‘be a loyal subject to the new queen who sits enthroned in his af- fections. Qneen Victoria may not lose a great deal, but Mr. Dryden, we think, has gained‘much by the transaction.” re ——————— Opening of the Salisbury Opera House. The new opera house is now finished, bury can justly be proud. We would like for some one to show us another town in the county that has a finer one.

PROTECTION AND PATRIOTISM, Aside from the fact of its material ben- efits, the higher wages and greater pros- perity which it always brings, Protection deserves the support of American citizens because it is pre- eminently an American policy. The great statesmen of our country. irregpective of party, Jefferson as well as Washington and Hamilton, Jackson as well as Clay and Webster, have all ‘be- lieved in Protection, not only because as wise men they saw the need of it, but al- 80 because it emphasized and exalted that American epirit of which all were equally enthusiastic exponents. Free-Trade has nothing to offer us hut what is foreign. It wishes us to buy foreign goods and import them in foreign ships.. It holds out to us the prospect of foreign markets, and thinks no trade good but foreign trade. The very idea is foreign, im- ported from Great Britain, and its foot- hoid has been secured in this country through the employment of foreign ‘emissaries. Protection thinks that so far as mark- ets, laborers, industries, products, ships, American poet, ‘ “There's no place like home.” It wishes it understood that "American products are good enough for the Amer- ican people. 1t thinks that the Free-Traders’ claim that American laborers sare not skillful enough to manufacture as well as half- starved laborers of Europe is a sneer at the intelligence of American people. And above all other things, it empha- sizes the fact that there is an American standard of wages and of living, and that our national life and the high grade of our country’s citizenship depends on that standard’s perpetuation. The impartial man, therefore, who weighs both sides of the question eannot but conclude that Protection is the more worthy of a patriot’s support. For with feeling, despite the contempt of the “philosopher” or the sneers of the Mug- wump. os Bridal and Burial. [From Frank Leslie's Weekly.) It was a soldier's bridal day: His darling stood in robes of gray To give to him her heart. The soldier wore the army bine, And vowed his vows of honor true, Till “death their lives shoud part.” Above them hung our banner bright; Each heart was sad, and vet alight : With hope he might not fall, . And that some happv, gala day, He would return with her to stay, When bugles did not call “Haste to my rescue!” Freedom cried. * The soldier marched away—he died, ’ As white as winter snow He came again; alas! alas! They hid his face beneath the grass Full thirty years ago. Under the pillow where his bead Was lying the gear bride-wife spread ' Her wedding gown of grav, ; They found ber picture on his breast, And Jeft it undisturbed to rest Till God’s memorial dey. Her brow wears signet of the years; Her eyes have not forgot the tears They shed that vanished day; * Her locks have lost youth's loveliness; 3 Their hue is like her bridal dress Of unobstrusive gray. Time is grief's healer; but she waits’ Alone for him who by the gates Of heaven records the hours Till she shall come with love as true, As when he wore the army blue, Or lay "mid funeral flowers.
