Tt has not, like the Democracy, had to abjure secessicn, slavery and the de- nial of manhood equality, one after the other, and to make up by promises as to the future for treason and folly in the past. The Republican party hag noth- ing to recall. It stands firmly and prouad- ly for every one of its glorious principles, and foremost among these is the protec- tion of American industry.—New York Press. Toe Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion discussed some interesting questions at their convention here last’ week. Most of them, too, were strictly business, and were handled in a very practical way. “The ithportance of making the homes of the Associations as inviting as possible was agreed to, the idea being to attract bv athletic sports and other recreations the young men who wouldn't be fasci- nated bv prayer-meetings or psalm-sing- ing, thereby wining them over to better associations and possibly to better things. This is more like the Christianity of Jesus Christ than much that is droned out in Puritanical pulpits. The one is practical "and earnest; the other, theo- retical and contentious. Another question of practical import raised was whether the contribution of a liquor man. could conscientiously ‘be received and applied to promoting the work of ' the Association. In this, as in the other instance mentioned, Practical Christianity prevailed over Puritanical. It was very sensibly decided that no mat- ter what might be the opinion of the liq- uor business, there could be no question as to the good object its profits were de- voted to when they were donated to the Association.—Connellgville Courier. A NEw York daily paper, taking up the idea conveyed in Flammarion’s excit- ing novel, ‘Omega, The Last Days of the World,” has interviewed a number of the leading men in all professions as to what they would do if science were to predict tomorrow that the end of the world would arrive within the next thirty days. The answers are various and curi- ous, and heighten the interest which is felt in the second part of Flammarion's great novel, which appears in the May Cosmopolitan. It is a question which everyone will find interesting to ask of himself. What would you do if within six weeks the end of the world were cer- tain? Probably no novel which has ever appeared in an American magazine has been more elaborately illustrated by more distinguished artists; Laurens. Saurier, Vogel, Meaulle, Rochegrosse, Geradin and Chovin all contribute to the explana- tion of the text. - A clever story of another kind is that of the new English novelist, Gilbert Par- ker, in the same numver. ‘‘American Society in Paris” is an article of another kind, but one which will interest all who have had oceasion to make even a short residence in the French capital. The Cosmopolitan scores a success in produc- ing in its May number, almost simulta- neously with the daily papers. an elabor- ate description of Professor Gray's mar- vellous invention, the Teiautograph, which reproduces the handwriting, or the work of the artist, simultaneously, thou- sands of miles distant from the place where the writer or artist is sitting. Mr. Howells’ purpose in ‘The Traveller from Altruria” is, month by month, becoming more evident, and is now receiving wide attention atthe hands of the critics a}l over the world. A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE. The School Directors of Somerset County Meet and Elect a County Supt. of Public Schools.—Berkey Elected by Only One Vote. The school directors of this county met in Somerset, on Tuesday, and elected County Supt. Berkey for e third . term. The only opponent Mr. Berkey had was of Somerset, who proved a foeman worthy of his steel. The contest was a very bitter one, as can be imagined by the vote cust—94 for Berkey and 98 for Pritts. Tue STAR is the only newspaper in the county that had the sand to openly op- pose Mr. Berkey, and because it did so was hooted at by the Meyersdale Com- mercial and the Berlin Record, both of which declared that Berkey would be elected by a huge majority. But they tective. know better now; much better. Berkey’s friends claimed all along that no other candidate would stand a ghost of a show; but did it so turn out? Well. hardly. Had .the ballot been a secret one, Mr. Berkey would hardly have known by the returns that he was running. The only thing that elected him was just this: At the last county institute the directors be- came enthusiastic, and to use a homely expression, went off bhalf-cocked. You know, it is the easiest thing in the world for some people to get enthusiastic. no matter whether there is good sense in it or not. Well, while they felt that way they passed a number of fool resolutions. which is always the ¢ase at nearly all kinds of conventions, and among other things they passed was a resolution en- dorsing Mr. Berkey for a third term. Later on. however, certain things took place that made them repent their folly, and then they wished that they wouldn't have resoluted. This had the effect to make manv of them stay away from Som- erset on Tuesday, because they did not want to vote for Berkey, yet did not want to vote against him, openly, in the face of the resolution they helped to pass dur- ing the time of the county institute. That, and that alone, is all that re-elected Mr. Berkey. We know of enough stay- at-homes that would have snowed the present incumbent under in good shape, if they would have gone to Somerset and voted. But the Berkeyites had been | roaring so loudly and so long, that many who opposed him became frightened and thought there was no use in taking a hand in the voting, thinking there would be no show to elect anybody else, any- way. THE STAR is not an enemy of Mr. Berk- ey’s, and as we s'ated in a former issue, we think he has heen as good a superin- tendent as the county ever had. But at the same time, we believe it is not the proper thing to give an officer more than two terms in succession, unless it can be shown that he is the only available fit man for the office, and such was not the case in this instance. There are other men in the county that would fill the of- | fice just as creditably as the present in- cumbent has done and we do not believe in making them wait too long to receive well-earned honors. The third-term ides has too much of a tendency to discourage . bright young men who are unjustly kept too long in the background. No, we have nothing against our present Super- intendent, but it makes us smile to see how badly some of our esteemed editorial brethren were off when they boldly as- serted that Mr. Berkey would have a walk-over. He came very near walking over on the outside, as it were, being elected by only one vote and starting in on his third term at a reduction of salary of nearly $300 a vear. Ye gods, fellow citizens. just think of it! It is all over now, and we have no kicking to do. But really. the Superin- tendent should be elected by the voters of the county, at the connty elections, instead of hy the school directors alone. Under the present svstem, superintend- ents have too good a chance to tamper with the directors, by giving the children of directors better certificates than they deserve, thereby making themselves solid for other terms in office. And to observ- ing people it looks as though this very evil has been carried on in this county right along; not by any particular super: intendent, but by all of them. We hope that such bas not been the case, but there are numerous instances that make it look that way. - We hope the day is not far distant when the present system of elect- ing county superintendents will be done away with, for it is a very poor system and ought to be speedily abolished. A Man Who Will succeed. “Now, if you will show me where the burglars got into your store,” said the de- “I will see if I can find some clew.” “In a moment,” said the proprietor. I'am working at something a little more important than hanting for a clew just now. Take a seat.” And while the detective waited the merchant wrote as follows at his desk: “The man who broke into Katzenheft- er’s store on the night of the 15th and ear- ried away a silk hat, a pair of French calfskin boots, a fur-trimmed overcoat, a black broadcloth suit and two suits of silk underwear was a black-hearted vil- lain and scoundrel, but a man whose judgment cannot be’ called in question. He knew where to go when he wanted the finest clothing the market affords.” “Jacobs,” he said to the book-keeper, “send a copy of this to all the papers in town and tell em I want it printed in big black type, to-morrow morning. Now, Mr. Hawkshaw, I am at your service.”— Exchange. The real estate transfers of Somerset county, as thev appear in the various county newspapers, show that more real estate transfers are made in Salisbury and Elk Lick than in any other part of the county. This shows that we are in the most prosperous community in the county and that there is a bright future for us. Sa RNS
