MicnAeL McDONALD. for many years
an influential Democratic leader in Chi-

his intention of supporting Harrison and

génerally admitted that he will be able to
carry a large number of voters with him.

ies of our politics that a question which
interests England so supremely, which is
canvassed almost as much in London as
it is in New York, should have the Irish
vote on the side of Great Britain. If the
Irish vote were solidly for protection thev
could defy the machinations of the Dem-
ocratic party for free trade and throw
their'influence on the side of the home
market of America against the tide of the
foreign markets of England.
I know this appeal has heen frequently
made to the Irish voters. but I make.it
with empkLasis now, for I am unwilling
to believe that, with the light of knowl-
edge before them, thev will deliberately
be on the side of their former oppres- |

Ministers and Country Editors.
We are in receipt of an anonymous
communication, which reads as follows:
“EpiTor Star: —Why is it that you do not send
your paper to ministers of the Gospel, free of
charge? Iam informed that nearly all country;
papers are furnished to ministers without price,
and being informed that yours is an exception to
to the rule, T would be pleased to have your rea-
sons for it, expressed through your paper.’
Publishers usually make ita rule to
pay no attention to anonymous commu-
nications, but if it will be of importance
to some poor, timid soul to have a ques-
tion answered to which he is too timid to
place his signature, especially when 1t
is a question that may interest others al-
80, we will depart from the established
rule in this instance and give the desired
information, :
In the first place. no minister ever asked
us to send him Tae STAR for nothing.
neither did we know that it is the general
custom with country editors to send their
publications to ministers of the Gospel,
free of charge. It is certainly not the
custom with city editors, and we know
that it is not the custom with the majori-
ty of country editors. It may be the cus-
tom with some, but it is a ridiculous cus-
tom and ought not to exist. Why should
a minister vf the Gospel be treated asa
pauper? The cavise of Christ is too noble
to go begging. We have known minis-
ters who would have considered it a gross
insult to be offered n free subseription to
their home papers on the ground that
they were ministers, Asa rule, minis-
ters are much better paid men than coun-
try editors; they enjoy more of the luxu:
ries and comforts of life, and they are
able to weur better clothes and dress their
wives and children better. Then why
should they be treated as paupers? What
does an editor get that he does not have
40 pay. for? Somevmes he gets a 10- cent

give about four dollars worth of adver:
tising for it; he gets a pass from the rail-
road company and pays four ime its val-
ue in advertising for it; and occasionally
he gets the devil for not mentioning in his
paperthat some ones freckle-faced *'kids™
have the whooping cough, or because
he failed to give some ones business a
free puff. That is the way the average
editor gets things for nothing, and when
it comes to doing work gratis, an editor
always does more free labor for the hen-
efit of his community than any other four
dozen men in it. No matter what is the
custom with other papers, this paper will
continne to treat all men alike, regard-
less of their professions or occupations;
We will slways be glad to aid ministers

: What the Editer Gets,
The following from an exchange, eon-
tains truth in large chunks; but all the
same, if an editor is fool enongh to do
everything fot nothing that the exchange
mentions, he deserves to “get left:”
When a child is born into the world a physician
is present and gets about $10 for officiating at the
important event. The editor heralds the advent
of the stranger and gets a cursing for making n
mistake as to the sex or date of arrival Body
After a while the child becomes a man, the
minister is cal'ed to perform the marriage cere-
mony and walks off with a $10 bill in his pocket
for his trouble. The editor is again called upon,
and chronicles this event by drawing on his im- :
agination to make the bride and groom the most
respectable people in the county. His only pay
is to be asked for a few “sample’’ copies of his
paper to send to some absent friends.
In time the once baby, onee havpv groom, but
now aman well advanced {n years is brought
down by death. Again the physician isecalled in
and in due time preseuts his bill, the undertaker
is present and officiates at the funeral, and in
time wants $100 for performing the last sad rites;
while the editor is expecied to complete the
drama by holding up the deceased as a model
gentleman, and one who at present is flying up
the golden stairs. The probabilities are at the
same time that the baby, the groom andthe
man have been so infernally stingy that he has
stinted his wife and children and had never con-
tributed one cent to the support of his local pa-’
T.
What does the editor get? He gets left.
A Disappointment.
There was to be a meeting of the Re-
publican club, in the K. of 1. hall, on
Tuesday evening, but the Knights of La-
bor refused to open the doors unless the
club paid the hall vent in advance. This
the officers of the club refused to do, ax
they did not bargain to pay for the hall
in advance, and besides that, did not rvel-
ish being treated as a gang of horse thieves.
Consequently, the meeting had to be
postponed unlil another room could be
engaged,
We don’t know whather the strange
conduct of the Knights was due to polit:
ical prejudice, or whether they were afraid
the club would beat them out of the rent.
If it was'the former, they ‘ought to be
ashamed of themselves; if tne latter, they
should have required the elub to give a
bond, in the first place, or else have stated
in the outstart that the rent was to be
paid in advance. THE STAR wants the
Knights of Labor to distinctly nnder- ©
stand that the Republican club of this
place is not made up of deadbeats. It ix
an organization that promptly pays all its
debts and has dollars fo where the local
assembly of the K. of L. hasn’t gol cents.
The measly conduct of the K. of L.,
this matter, will do their ee Enaiatin no
good, and Tae STAR believes that the
local assembly made a sad mistake. This
paper always spoke kindly of the Knights,
and still believes that it is an organization
that every laboring man should helong
to, hut we hope that hereafter its mem-
bers will act more in accordance with the
principles they claim to believe in.

Notice to Republicans.
Notice is hereby given to the Republi:
cans of this borough and Elk Lick town
ship that there will be a meeting of the
Republican club, held in Lowry’s hall,
on Tuesday evening, Now. 1st, at which
time and place the presence of every Re:
publican in this vicinity is urgently re-
quested. Much business of importance
will be transacted at this meeting. as it
will likely be the last meeting of the club
held before the election. Do no forget
the time and place, for you can not af-
ford to miss this meeting.
