THE effervescing and irrepressible Prohibition leader, Dr. Silas C. Swal- low, is advising the Democratic leaders whom to nominate for President. This is a case where one swallow does not make a ranner.—Connellsville Courier. “Tue Star of Bethlehem” still con- tinues to twinkle, and all the wind that can possibly emanate from the spa- cious mouth of Windbag McCullough cannot dim a single twinkle of the grand old luminary. Let the McCullough jackass bray, Let him saw the air each day, But in good homes both near and far You’ll always find the newsy STAR. SvureLY no one can blame “Doc” De- Lozier for “scabbing.” as the strikers call it. The United Mine Workers kept him out of a job for several years in this region, for which they had no valid reason. Once when he secured a job at 65 cents per ton, the pit commit- tee refused to let him work, and by threatening to strike, forced the mine foreman to send him away. Now, De- Lozier feels that it is his turn to get even with the United Mine Workers, and no sensible man can blame him. Old “Doc” has his faults, as all men have, but he is a mighty decent man when compared with some of the peo- ple that are railing at him. Mgr. STRIKER, there is no sense in your slopping over and railing at Judge Kooser’s injunctions. If you are a law-abiding citizen the injunec- tions will in no way interfere with you. All the injunctions are intended for is to protect people in their rights and in their property, and the man that minds his own business need not fear the orders of the Court. The injunctions were issued on good and sufficient grounds, and only for the injunctions there would have been bloodshed in this region long before this. Judge Kooser’s head was level when he granted in- junctions restraining trespassing, in- timidation and other forms of lawless- ness. AMONG the strikers there are many church members, and some of them refuse to speak to their poor fellow mortals who would ratherdig coal than to strike. But you all know the par- able of the sower. When the seeds of Christianity fall upon stony ground, the shallowness of the Christian soil in which some men were nurtured be- comes evident at once. A look of long- faced piety, mingled with scorn and hatred, does not harmonize with bibles, hymn and prayer books carried under the arms of men on their way to the sanctuary. Hell is pretty well popu- lated with ancient and modern Phari- sees, but the place is still yawning for more, and a very hot corner is being reserved for the Salisbury delegation. Turis past week has seen a return to this regien of all the national organiz- ers of the U. M. of A. who had been previously located here. Their coming does not change the aspect of the strike in the least, and this past week the Somerset Coal Company has had two score of their old men apply for posi- tions, but the company has no vacanciss, and but few of those applying were given work. The company has in hopes that trade may look up, so that they can start some of the smaller mines to give employment to those that are ap- plying. There are a few of the old men who will never get back, of course, no matter what may arise. Among those who went to work this past week was a vice president of one of the local unions.—Meyersdale Republican. “Tuey’Re taking the bread out of my children’s mouths,” {§ an expres- sion one often hears during a REPUBLICAN TICKET. { laughter. and the little man who was | would begin work at once if the opera- | ment contained in the food. strike. | lecturing beat a hasty retreat from the tors would only give them a job.

Some of them will put plenty of bread into their children’s mouths if they can get it from some merchant on time, at the same time calculating never to pay for it. But when it comes to spending for bread that which they squander for booze, they get the booze, starve their children and then accuse others of taking the bread out of their children’s mouths. Another thought has often occurred to us, and it is this: If the children of some of the class aforesaid have mouths as big as their “dads,” a vast quantity of bread could be stored therein, and a good deal of it could be taken out by others without ever being missed. Ir is said that men are but children of a larger growth, but it is a sad com- mentary on full grown men when they act the little child more than the little “tots” do. During the miners’ strike we have heard men declare thai they would not buy at stores that sold goods to strike-breakers, that they would not get shaved at shops where strike-break- ers get shaved, that they would not go to church where strike-breakers at- tend, ete. Such fools never spite anybody, and all they accomplish by such fool talk is to bring contempt and ridicule upon themselves. If they don’t want to go to church and other places for the fool reasons they give, let them go to the lunatic asylums or to hades, the only places especially constructed for fools. They never will be missed here. But just the same they prefer to stay here, where they view the same sun, drink at the same places, walk the same streets, patron- jze the same doctors and actually breathe the same air that strike-break- ers breathe. And it doesn’t kill them, either. “I1’s not the scdle price we're after now, it’s recognition of the union that we demand,” say the leaders of the United Mine Workers. They are will- ing to go to work at the price offered, they say, but the union must be recog- nized before they can accept the re- duction. What nonsense! Of what use is recognition if it does not bring the scale price with it? Any union that is willing to work for recognition only, at any price the operators name, is not worth three hurrahs in hades. The fact of the matter is, the miners’ union in this region is rotten to the core, and it has broken completely down under the weight of its own rot- tenness and abuse of power. It can’t get recognition any more than a pig can fly, and the ones to blame for the present state of affairs are a lot of big- mouthed numbskulls in the organiza- tion. The decent men in the union all It is uséless for the union in this region to be harping on what it is willing to do. The operators do not care at this stage of the game what the union is willing to do, for they will not deal with the strikers as an organiza- tion, and some of them cannot even get recognition as individuals. CHAMBERLAIN’S COLIC,CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY is everywhere recognized as the one remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant to take. It is especially valuable for summer diar- rhoea in children and is undoubtedly the means of saving the lives of a great many children each year. For sale by E. H. Miller. 7-1 ‘Undersized’ Americans. Phillips Brooks and two other Amer- icans crossed the ocean on the same steamer, and booked their names at the same hotel for their first night in Liverpool. Each was some inches more than six feet in height. Opposite their hotel they saw a placard announc- ing a lecture on America. “Let’s go and see what they say about us,” said one, and it was agreed. They separat- ed at the door of the hall. After some very absurd statements about the American people, the lectur- er went on to say that they were quite undersized. At once Bishop Brooks arose and said: “I am an American, and when at home my height occasions no remark.” Then the second man in a remote corner arose, and said, “I, too, am an American, and at home my height is not alluded to as being uncommon.” Then off in an opposite corner arose the tallest of the three, and began to We have noticed that those who are in | platform.—C. E. World. OUTLAWRY MOST FOUL. Attempt to Blow Up Tipple With Dynamite—Bullets Fired at Guards. Last Sunday night a dastardly at- tempt was made to blow up the tipple at the Meager mine. A great deal of dynamite was used for the purpose, but it was not properly placed, and but lit- tle damage was done. However, the report was terriffic, and the explosion shook buildings several miles away. There is not the least doubt that the dynamiting was done by striking miners who belong to the union, as some of them have been getting very violent of late, as a result of the social- istic-anarchistic speeches that have recently been made in this region by organizers from abroad. On Monday Blatherskite McCullough delivered another socialistic harrangue at Coal Run, and the very night follow- ing a lot of murderous thugs ambushed themselves and fired a large number of shots at the guards in charge of the property of the coal companies. The fire was several times returned, but no one was hurt. However, one of the guards has a bullet hole through his hat, and the weigh shanty at Meager’s mine has a number of bullet holes in it. McCullough’ speeches have no other effect than to incite riot, mur- der,incendiarism and general outlawry. With the walking delegates and social- istic spouters out of this region, there would soon be peace and prosperity; but the longer they are tolerated and permitted to poison and pervert the minds of the “ignorant, the more out- lawry and crime we may expect. These labor grafters from abroad are moral lepers, a menace to law and order, and they appear as warts on the face of decency and syphilitic sores on the body politic. The decent, law-abiding people of our community are getting very tired of them, and our business men are very much opposed to their street meetings, seeing the bad effect they have on the peace and quiet of the community. People who show too much of a disposition to cater to the organizers and their dupes are going to be made very sorry for it in due time. Organization conducted on decent principles is all right, and we believe in it; but the kind of organization we have in this region is rapidly getting to be of the cut-throat brand, and the decent men in the local unions owe it to themselves, their families, their God and their country to withdraw from the organization in this region, for the reason that it is dominated by the law- less and illiterate elements. The men who are at work are mak- ing more than $100 per month, and one more mine (Merchants No. 2) resumed operations on Monday last. The strike is lost, and all who are able to get work had better do so. To stand out now and demand that which is absolutely impossible to get, is showing no better judgment than the bull did when he tried toobutt the locomotive off the track. : Blatherskite McCullough and his as- socintes may rail at THE Star and its editor all they please, but they can rest assured that this paper is backed by a very solid constituency—the decent, law-abiding, sensible people of the community, and with their sup- port, influence and backing our busi- ness is secure. We do not cater nor truckle to the lawless element, and if we have any such on our subscription list that do not like our course, they have a standing invitation to call, square up their breast, take out their tools and quit. We have new men ap- plying for places on our list right along, and we can easily spare all who are dissatisfied with the paper. Some of the strikers that are cursing Tue Star now will wish before this time next year that they had taken more of its advice and paid less atten- tion to wind from MeCullough and others, for wind will neither fill empty bellies, clothe naked backs nor keep fuel in the stoves when the wintry blasts are howling. It is immaterial to us, gentlemen, if you want to squander what you have saved and allow debt to accumulate upon yourselves—debt that it will take years to wipe out. Take your choice—work, wages and prosper- ity, or dirt, rags, idleness, empty pock- ets, cheerless firesides and the perma- nent loss of your jobs in this region. But if you choose the latter, you can- not say that you have not been warned of the results of your folly. Don’t al- low yourselves to be swayed by the shift- less, worthless fellows who know they can’t get work in’ this region at any for striking, for it’s all they will ever have to do so long as they remain here. But those of you who can get work will show your wisdom by taking it while you still have the opportunity. Time will prove this assertion, and in the meantime we will continue to show Mr. McCullough what it is to monkey with a buzz saw. —— em McCULLOUGH’S SOLILOQUY. Iam E. 8.

A correspondent of the latter publication said : “My own children have been treated in this way, and have been examined a great many times in school for vaccin- ation, and the sears have always beer regarded as genuine vaccination scars. Other children have been vaccinated im the same way.” When “American Medicine” read this it just arose and pawed the air. Yet one of the crying needs of the age is a good, warranted, non-tetanus vae- cination scar that will pass medical ex- amination.
