THOMAS, 4 ... =Dealer In— General Merchandise, su BT Fe EDITORIAL REMARKS, CANDIDATE CLEVELAND is developing a taste for the editorial “we” and “om” that surptises those who thouglit them- selves familiar with his character. ; . MR. ANDREW CARNEGIE probably wish- es that those eighty British newspapers he owns were published in the United States. Then he might get a good word occasionally. ee BsMARCE says he will not allow his "mouthi to be elosed. . That is brave talk from a man wlio knows so well the im- mense power wielded by the German Em- peror, but itis hardly wise. ; ] WERE young men selected as chairmen of the Republican and Democratic. Na- tional committees as’ recognition of young voters. or becausd “they could be easier controlled by the candidates? ABOUT this time the would-be political prophet spreads the wings of his imag- ination and proceeds to tell ‘every news- paper man, who will listen to him, exact- ly how each state will vote next Novem- ber. : THE public hears much about the oc- casional fellow who wins a few thousand dollars gambling in stocks, or in ordinary gambling establishments, but nothing of ‘the 999 poor devils who ‘go broke” of the game. : EvibENTLY, Emerson did not know what he was talking about when he said: “Trust men and they will be true to you.” ' Every country editor and grocer knows better than that. Solomon, he whom the Bible says was the wisest man that ever lived. came much nearer telling the truth when he said: ‘All men are liars.” Says the American Wool and Cotton Reporter: *‘A notable feature of the woolen goods market is the low price of goods. and itis very probable that goods are selling today on a basis of prices low: er than ever before.” Grover Cleveland, Roger Q. Mills, Congressman Springer and others please make a note of this. THis is the way in which Senator Hill is reported to have spoken of the Demo- in the Democratic platform will turn every factory and workshop in the land into a Republican campaign headguar- ters.” Right you are. Senator Hill, and it will turn the working masses of this country into a great Republican army’ that will assure an unparalleled triumph for Protection's candidates in the Presi- dential election. Because the product of the Homestead mills is protected, protection is therefore the cause of the Homestead riots and bloodshed, according to Democratic ar- gument. But there is free trade in the product of silver mines, yet out in Idaho there has been more blood spilled than at Homestead, owing to the recent strikes and troubles of the silver miners. It pro- tection is responsible for the Homestead riots, will our Democratic exchanges please tell us what is responsible for the Idaho riots? : IN commenting on the McKinley tariff, a Brittish newspaper says the following: ‘The promoters of the McKinley tariff meant it to push forward the policy of America for the Amerigans. One meth- od of realizing it was to keep all work within their own dominions. The coun- try was to. be made self-supplving; what could be produced at home was not to be bought abroad. That was the key-note of the McKinley scheme, and it is work- ing out the idea of its Cesigners with the precision and effectiveness of a machine.” ABOUT the rottenest thing in this coun- try is our jury system. This is well il- lustrated by the following item from an exchange: : *‘A juror in a murder case at Pottsville, who held out for 87 hours for a verdict of second degree, brought the other 11 to his way of thinking.” In reality, one obstinate man in this case brought eléven others to his way of voting, but their way of thinking remained unchanged. A jury should always be composed of intelligent men, and the way about three-fourths of them think ought determine the verdict in any case. BEFORE the Chicago convention, the New York Bun and New York World were both assailing the policy and char- acter of Grover Cleveland and prophesy- ing that his nomination would surely bring disaster to the Democratic party, and ruin to the country in case of his election. Today the two papers afore- said are telling the people of the great danger to the republic if they fail to elect Mr. Cleveland. The chances are that the Sun and the World were both tell- ing the truth at first, free of charge, and that they are now telling lies, for pay. Boodle goes a long‘way with such papers a8 the Sun and World. : 4 don, TI, saygL ve ? “In 1864 myself and Stevenson, with others, were drafted. Mr. Stevenson hired a man to go to the front in his place, and there was also a man sent in my place. I see that Mr. Stevenson Says he was in the army thirteen days. Well I think I can explain that record. When the draft was made Stevenson was ap- pointed by the disloyal people to go to Springfield to see that the drawing was fairly done; he made some objections to the manner in which the drawing was done, when the officer said for him to get upon the box and be blindfolded and see if he could do any better. Stevenson mounted the box, and, so the story was told, the first two names he pulled out of the box were my own and his. He was then satisfied, and let the drawing go on. At that time he spent some ten or fifteen days in Springfield. and that was the nearest he ever was tothe war.”—Indian- opolis Journal. f WHEN anarchists from Pittsburg visited Homestead after the affray with the Pink- erton mercenaries and started to distrib- ute incendiary publications, the strikers indignantly seized the intruders and hur- ried them out of town. Not less insulting to intelligent work- ingmen is the course urged by a reckless newspaper. and taken up by a demagogue or two in Congress, to the effect that the tariff on manufacture of iron should be repealed in order to make such manufac- turing unprofitable. That is, under the pretext of punishing the iron manufac: turers. it is proposed to destroy at once the business of the manufacturer and the living of the workingmen. This prope- sition is as great an offense against the intelligence of the workingman ag Was the attempt of the anarchists to advance their doctrines under cover of the Home- stead troublés. And the workingmen ‘who expelled the anarchists will give a similar reception to this characteristic demagogic device. .

Meyersdale, Pa. 91 1 More ABout the Fortin Band Contest. Some poor deluded fellow from Con- fluence last week found a ‘great deal of fault with Tae: Star, through the col: .umns of the Berlin Record. He accuses us of abusing the Confluence band and bridicnles us for. publishing the outcome af the contest, ns a news item, ten days after the said contest took place. He says the result of the contest was known beyond the circulation of Tar STAR be- fore the elose of the day on whieh it took place. Well, the result doubtless was known to a great many people as’ soon as the contest was over; but there are hundreds of other people who knew noth- ing of the result until they read it in Tie Star. None of the newspapers in the south of the county got ont an issue for the week in which came the 4th of July. hence the lateness of the item re- ferred to. : As to the abuse heaped upon the Con- fluence band. its instructor, ete., ete.. we fail to see where the abuse came in. The Confluence band is a good band; we never said that it was not; but we did say that it wasn’t good enough to beat Salisbury. The only reason we poked a little harmless fun at the Confluence boys was because we had it from good authority that they did some tall blow- ing at Garrett, while on their way to Berlin, of how they had a dead sure thing for first prize and would have a walk- away with such competition as the Salis- bury band. That is the whole thing in a nutshell. When a set of men blow in advance of what they are going to do, and then fail todo it, they need expect noth- ing else than to be held up to ridicule. Concerning the professor who is the instructor of the Confluence band, we have no doubt that be is a fine musician and a gentleman, for our band boys here all say that heis. We did not mean to cast any reflections on him’ whatever; we only wanted Confluence to under- stand that the professor isn’t the only good band instructor in the country and that the Confluence band’s blowing about their instructor isn’t the stuff it requires to win in a contest. It takes music. not the bragging on a professor. ? But the writer referred to claims that one reason why Confluence did not do better in the contest was because several of their men were unable to go to Berlin and their places were filled by men from Scottdale, who were not accustomed to playing thé Confluence band’s music. That may all be, but if all is true that we heard disinterested persons say who heard the,contest. a few more Scottdale players was the only thing needed to give nl appeal of the anarchist free traders. — |. Confluence first prize. In fact, many | ho w he contest said that had jt| Confluence band, that the Berkley's Mills band would undoubtedly have taken sec- ond prize. Ha But we are told that the Confluence band is only a little over two years old : and that it will do great things as it grows older. It remains 10 be seen, however, what it will do. and: when it comes to age, the present Salisbury band is less than six months old. Some of our band boys hive played in bands. off and on, for a numbet of years, but did not do any playing for the Inst year and a half, n- til ast winter, when our band was reor- ganized. Then there is our eclarionet player, one of the best musicians in our band, who never played in a band but a few months in his life. until last winter. There are also several other men in onr band who have not been musicians two years, all told. Chiro Toe STAR has nothing but the best kind of feeling toward the Confluence | band, even if it did poke a little fun at it. whieh according to reports it deserved. If the tables are ever turned. THE STAR will take the fun good-naturedly and not get its back up as our Confluence friend did. : During the epidemic of flux in this county, in 1888, I had hard work to keep. a supply of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand.

A ———————— Occasionally there are people who do not read the newspapers. A man of this class lives in New York. The New York Press recently contained a mathematical problem with the answer appended. which explained that if a man was to re- ceive one cent on the first day of a given time, two cents the second and four cents the third day and soon, doubling the amount each day. at the end of the thir tieth day he wonld have the snug sum of $4,410.652,16. The man who didn’t read the papers (hecause they come so. high) kept a restaurant, and one day along came a gentleman with a copy of the newspa- per in his pocket, and offered his services to the restaurant keeper for the trifling sum of one penny a day for the first day, two pennies for the second day, etc. doubling the amount each day fora mouth, an agreement to which effect was signed by both. The restaurant keeper looked pleased and the laborer whistled up his sleeve. At the end of the 22nd day the Inhoring man wanted to pay his laundry bill and presented to his emplover his hill up to date, which was $41,943.04. His employer swore he'd never pay it and now it is in the courts, with the laboring man a probable winner.” There is amor: al to this tale, which when read aright means it pays to read papers. The celebrated French poet, Saint Foix, who, in spite of his large income. was al- ways in debt, sat one day in a barber's shot waiting to be shaved. He was Iath- ered, when the door opened and a trades- man entered who. happened to be one of the poet’s largest creditors. No sooner did this man see Saint Foix than he an- grily demanded his money. The poet composedly begged him not to make a scene. “Won't you wait for the money until I am shaved?” “Certainly. the prospect. Saint Foix then made the barber a wit- ness of the agreement, and immediately took a towel, wiped the lather from his face, and left the shop, . He wore a beard to the end of his dnys.—Exehange. ” said the other, pleased at “What is the secret of your success?” asked the poet. ‘“That’s just it,” replied the busy mer: chant; there's no secret about it; I'm the biggest advertiser in the ‘state. Here's nothing secret about my business.” ! And the poet made a note of it. But the very next man to whom he spoke about it happened to be his frieud, the burglar, who scoffed at the idea. “Why,” he said, *‘sccrecy is the very soul of success in my business. Never advertise, whatever you do.” ; And the poor poet went out and bought a three-months’ commutation ticket for the lunatic asylum.—Burdette, in the Brooklyn Eagle. —————————— There was a fisherman polite Whose manners were so fine, Whene'er he went to catch a fish. him first a line,
