Beachy Bros. have made a great hit by establishing in Salisbury one of the larg- est and best hardware stores in Somerset county. Buyers of Hardware and Agri- cultural Implements will make a great hit by patronizing this store, for they will find that Beachy Bros. will please them in both goods and prices. They are in the business to stay and will leave nothing undone to please their patrons and give the people what they want in the hardware line. Their stock is bright and new and made up of the latest styles of goods. No shoddy goods will be kept in stock, but improvements will constant- ly be added ay fast as American brain and skill ean invent thew.

We want to PAINT THE EARTH RED with the statement that we will not be undersold. We will sell you the best goods at the lowest living prices. and we invite you to test us and see if our word is not good right down to the dotlet on the 1.

EDITORIAL REMARKS, ‘GETTING ready” seems to be the prin- cipal occupation of the politicians in this campaign.

A company makes and sells the stamps. eee eee. * WHEN one speaks of the efficacy of the club in politics, itis not always safe to assume that it is an organization that is meant. THAT letter of acceptance narrowly es- caped a collision with the Sullivan-Cor- bett prize fight, in the columns of the newspapers. B'R'ER Harrison is also somewhat of a letter writer, as newspaper readers. dis- covered before they got through that 8000-word epistle. SoME men are mean by accident, others by reason of circumstances beyond their control, but the worst are the men who actually enjoy being mean. _— Having advanced the price of coal about 25 per cent. the Reading coal com- bine has advanced the miners’ wages 3 per cent. ' That's about the nsual ratio. Accorping to a political cartoon in a Metropolitan paper, money is the issue of the campaign. Isn't the same thing. in one form or another, ihe issue of every campaign? MR. CLEVELAND is going to Illionis next month to see if he can locate that Democratic rainbow of which his running mate talked so much during his visit to Gray Gables. Is the old man “bluffing.” or does he really hold a royal flush? is the prob- lem that is worrying the sage of Buzzard’s Bay more than the old question—which is the best bait? THE velocity of the Peck which struck Mr. Cleveland between the wind and water, was probably the cause of its hav- ing been supposed to have been dropped from the top of a Hill. - THE tendency of the times is to soften harsh names. ‘“‘Cholerine” has been sub- stituted for cholera, but the old pestilence Ander its new name retains the deadly qualities which have made it dreaded ev- erywhere. With cost’ of living lower and farm prices higher than two years ago, as’ ad- mitted by Democratic Senators Carlisle and Harris. would not the farmer be fool- ish, indeed, were he to vote against Pro- tection, the farmer's policy? THAT North Catvlina Young Men’s Christian Associaton which tendered a reception in its rooms to a brutal prize- fighter must be a queerly constituted or- ganization. It is creditable to the prize: fighter’s sense of the fitness of things that he declined. THERE is not a Democratic editor in the land from Cape Cod to San Francis- co, from Lake Itaska to Key West, who is not today buying the very paper on which he prints his McKinley prices false- hoods for less monev than he paid hefore the McKinley hill was passed. We know of our own personal knowledge that is true of the New York dailies—one of them is saving $60,000 a. year in the fall of the price of its paper below the new Tariff was enacted. The American Protective Tariff league will pay $1,000 to that Democratic editor who will show that paper of the quality and kind used by him to publish his Me- Kinley prices falsehoods eannot be pur- chased in the open market from 5 to 40 per cent. cheaper than it cost under the old tariff. —American Economist, THE registration of voters in Mississip- pi under the new constitution shows but 76,742 voters instead of 257,105, which is the number of males over 21 years of Lage. This reduction has been accom- plished by excluding the negro voters. But Mississippi is still claiming seven members of Congress and nine electoral votes. The state is by its voting popula- tion entitled to two members of Congress and four electoral votes, and that ques- tion should be raised when the seven Congressmen appear in Washington and the nine electors try to cag their votes for the Democratic candidate for Presi- dent. The men who framed that new. constitution in Mississippi said they were willing to reduce their representation in Congress to get rid of the negro vote. They should be compelled to do so, and have but two seats in the next Congress of the United States.—Ex. PARKER GARDNER, a well-known and “highly respected farmer of Wabash, In- diana, who resided in Illinois: during the period of the drafts and relates in an afi: to Qavit what he personally saw Stevenson do, as follows: In the year 1862 1 was & resident of Wilson township, DeWitt county, Illinois. At that time Jey I was acquainted with Adalai E. Stevenson, Democratic candidate for Vice President, he be. ing a resident of Bloomington, Ill. I stoodin my own yard in Wilson township early in the summer of the year aforesaid and saw Stevenson and James Ewing, present partner of said Steven- ih son, come on horse-baek off the prairie,and went to the residence of Mr. Ellsworth, neighbor, where he sold two revolvers—one for Ellsworth and the other for his son. Stevenson and Ewing g then went across to the south side of Salt creek, | where there was a camp of the ‘Knights of the Golden Circle,’ and Stevenson there sold eighteen revolvers to members of the order, * James Spratt, now living in the same county, informing me that he bought two revolvers himself, and that Stevenson was peddling the arms for the pur. pose of enabling men to resist the draft. Mr. Ellsworth at the same time informed me that his object in purchasing the revolvers was to arm himself and son against the draft officers, and that Stevenson so understood the purpose for which they were to be used.” SEVERAL weeks ago THE STAR com- mented a little on the People’s party. showing up its weak points and the rot ; ten foundation on which it is trying to build. Our article was clipped and en- dorsed by the Carleton (Neb.) Reporter, and now there is already a howl set up by a soft-pated nonentity who replies to us through the Reporter and signs an as- sumed name. The reply, however, con- sists mainly of a few coarse remarks, : some wholesale boasting and several wild : and idiotic assertions. The writer of the insane reply referred to states that there are about 80,000 people in Nebraska that will this year support Weaver, Field and Van Wyck, and adds that in four years from now the People’s party will elect the President of the United States. It may be interesting to our Western friend to inform him that the People's party has no strength whatever outside of a few Western and Southern states. In the densely populated states of the East the People’s party is almost unknown, and can never become popular. It will bea long. long time before such states as’ Ne- braska elect the President withont the aid of the East. Even in Nebraska, the great (2) People’s party seems to be on its last legs, judging from the following 4 which weclip from the Trenton (Neb.) Register, a People’s party organ: : “In the opinion of the Register, the most un- fortunate thing that has happened to the Peo- ple’s party in Nebraska, was the action of the Kearney convention in the nomination of C. H. Van Wyck for the office of Governor. It threw aside a poor man, a toiler, a patriot who has built up the People's cause in Nebraska and rewarded the treachery of 1890 by nominating a million. ; aire, a place-hunting politician, and one whose sympathies are not with the common people. While the Register believes firmly in the prinei- ples of the People's party and will advise its readers to vote the ticket as far as they can con- ° scientiously do so, it is not bound and will not support a man whom it believes to represent all that it despises in polities.” By the above clipping from a People’s party organ, it must be admitted that TaE STAR presented some facts in.its write-up of the said party. Furthermore, our Western contradictor can tell us noth- ing new concerning the kind of men the People’s party is composed of in Nebras: ka. We have lived there long enough to. know all abont it, and we reiterate the statement that the People’s party in Ne- braska is made up almost entirely of the most ignorant and shiftless people in the state. There are hundreds of intelligent Nebraska editors, partisan and non-par- tisan, who will back us in this statement. Free Trade in the United States. The New York Sun, a Democratic news- paper which believes in protection to home industries, makes a good point in replying to a correspondent who asks: “Would it not be better for America to come out boldly for free trade, rather than to induce through a high tariff the settling here of a lot of foreign manufac turers, which, in my opinion, is free trade under another name.” ; *“The querist,” says the Sun, in replyi: ‘does not seem to he aware that the United States is alreadv the greatest free trade country in the world, since among its sixty-five millions of population, in- cluding the fools, there is the most entire freedom of trade, without a single Custom House; on any dividing line between states or sections.” A consideration of this fact will em: phasize the importance of the immense home market possessed by the United States, a point which the Free Traders are prone to dismiss with a sneer, but which is a very important factor in the debate between Protection and Free Trade. The Sun then states the general ques: tion for the benefit of the questioner in these words: “The ordinary common sense of the case is that it is a great advantave for every country to manufacture within its. own limits everything that is necessary. to human existence and comfort. The country which has to import articles of necessity from abroad is weak in conse: quence; becanse in time of war it may be entirely deprived of these articles. Accordingly, it has ever been a great ob- ject with statesmen to bring every prac ticable manufacture within the hounda- ries of their own governments. The more manufactures, the more varied ip industries carried on in any country,
