A little more gray in the lessening hair, Each day as the years go by; A little more stooping of the form, A little more dim the eye. A little more faltering of the step As we tread life’s pathway o'er, But a little nearer every day To the ones that have gone before. A little more halting of the gait, And a dullness of the ear; A growing weariness of the frame With each swift passing year, A fading of hopes, and ambitions, too, A faltering in life’s quest; But a little nearer every day To a sweet and peaceful rest. A little more loneliness in life As the dear ones pass away; A bigger claim on the heavenly'land With every passing day. A little further from toil and care, A little less way to roam; A drawing nearer to a peaceful voysge And a happy welcome home. THE PAST AND THE FUTURE. So near the beginning of a new year is a proper time to review the past, and, if possible, peer into the future. All history is mere romance unless studied as an example. By its guid- ance we can travel back over the cen. turies that slumber. It is with a rev- erent hand that we lift the veil that has draped over a sacred past. While the world was yet new we find stu- dents busy developing theories and systems to be perfected by coming gen- erations, thus aiding in opening up new paths in the flelds of literature, science The torch of genius cannot be extinguished. Thinkers are mortal. but thoughts immortal. Great leadere die, but principles are eternal. Only by studying the past can we rightly es- timate the possibilities of the future, and what better mental food can we crave than that which furnishes such lasting stimulus to earnest endeavor. Each century sweeps clean the loves and hates of its predeceseors, yet its achievements are never forgotten; its ambitions, its emotions die, each task is laid down, but the truths set in mo- tion will live and gather strength as the years go by. The decisions rendered by the diplo mats of the past continue to sway the judicial world of today. Blackstone's legal reputation has suffered no dimin- ution during the years that have swent over his grave. Gladstone will be a greater power in the political life of Europe in a hundred years hence, than he was at the time his masterful brain was darkened by the eclipse of death. Herbert Spencer, who spent the best years of a long life in study that he might give to the world a comprehen- sive generalization of modern thought, has sealed his fame, and his name will be honored centuries after his frail body has slept with the mighty thinkers who preceded him. Time passed in the society of great minds is always helpful. As we turn from the past to consider some of the possibilities of the future, may we not ¢!sim for ourselves higher resolves for self development, which as a rule means self promotion? The on- ward march of civilization has made the deserts bud and blossom as the rose, and as we go from conquest to conquest, what is in rererve for com- ing generations is an easy prediction. The moto-carriage will be the carriage of the future. Ocean cables that have brought continents into close contact will be perfected, and their service will be cheapened so that other than mil- lionairs may hope to receive or convey a message. Electricity that man has chained and made his servant will be- come the light of the world. It rivals the sun in radiance, and no one will question its striking qualities. In the future, electricity will be used to pro- pel the farm plow, and the old farm horses will be sold for army rations. A bridge will span the Atlantic Ocean. Electric motors with fine cars attached will convey young America to Old England without the aid of steam. Sea sickness will be abolished. The whole world will be run by electric bells. Telephones will connect every town and hamlet. The planet Mars, will be in direct communication with the earth. The lynotype will do away with old-fashioned type setting. Wom- en will have the ballot and will be elected to Congress and the Senate of the United States, and when there, will wrangle as persistently as the men. Women and men will seek wider fields of mental activity. The Indian warwhoop will give place to the sweet music of cultured orchestras. The wigwam will be deserted by the Indian maiden, who will discard the garb of her race, and, clothed in fine raiment, will play her grand piano with the grace of our town belle. The Filipinos will become civilized and christianized, and the nude Malays, who now occupy these much-coveted islands, will be- come social stars, and in palatial homes will cntertain the President of the will nat stand advertising. United Rtates aud hiz cabinet offielals. The Indies, gowned in rich velvets and sating, and brilliant in costly jewels, will be added tothe monied aristocracy of Ameriea. Portraits of the generals who whipped these barbarians into these happy conditions, will be found inthe drawing-rooms of Manila. “The Star-Spangled Banner” will float over Juba. These prognostications are not based on fairy tales or vagaries of the imagination, but on facts. The past is a guarantee for the advanced ideas of the future In noting the possibili- ties of the future, we must not fcrget whet coming centuries hold in keeping for our own sunny town, or the part it may play in the shifting drama of the future. Our town, with its schools, newspaper and churches, must have some humble part in the world’s achievements. The “Ideal husbands” and “Ideal wives” are often found without ideas enough between the two for one good one of either kind. Many are the rough places we tread from the cradle to the grave ; many are the sighs, tears and discouragements, but we can extract joy from the most desert places on the way, and amid the most piercing heartaches, by the thought that we have made others hap- py, and that there is perpetual morn- ing only =a little way off. At every step of the way we travel, let us gather all the flowers that bloom, and revel amid all the beauty there is, but never for- getting the sweetest and best happi- ness that can possibly thrill the soul is that which comes from a congciousness of loving and being loved ; and we can never love or be loved unless we are willing to live for others. BOROUGH NOMINATIONS. Only One Ticket in the Field this Year, Most of Which is Very Satisfactory. The non-partisan caucus held in Hay’s opera house, last Thursday even- ing, at the joint call of Republican Committeeman A. C. Maust, and Dem- ocratic Commitieeman Geo. C. Hay, was attended by over a hundred citi- zens of all political shades and com- plexions, also by a few men who were not citizens and had no business there. It is alleged by some who were present: that. a couple of men who are not citi- zens, actually took a hand in the bal- loting. By others, the assertion is de- nied. Tue Star does not know how about that report, but we do know that if any foreigners were there and even attempted to vote, they made them- selves linble to arrest and fine. We also know that fraudulent votes were cast by persons voting more than one ballot for the same candidate. As fraud could easily be proven, it would be a very easy matter to upset the en- tire nomination and have the Court ap- point a complete set of officers to take the place of all out-going officials. However, it is not likely that any such steps will be taken, as most of the ticket nominated is very satisfac. tory, and had a plurality of the honest ballots cast, without a doubt. The only candidates believed to haxe been unfairly nominated are the can- didates for Burgess and Street Com- missioner, respectively, and there i= some talk of those two men having to contest for an election with two inde- pendent candidates. In justice to Me- Kinley and Ringler, however, we will say that there is nothing to show that they were participants in any fraud themselves, or that they had any knowledge of it. Nevertheless, there are good grounds to believe that neither of them would tcday be nominees of that caucus if fraudulent voting had not been done, and the people should not stand for it. Besides, McKinley is not a fit person to fill the important office of Burgess. Helis a chronic kick- er and trouble-maker. If McKinley is elected. the tax-payers of this town will be as sick of his election as they are of the mess they made when they elected Norman Newman to the office of Street Commissioner, and as a result have seen their road tax money paid out in liberal doses for practically nothing. Following are the nominess of the caucus aforesaid: Justice of the Peace, Samuel Lowry, of the Orphans’ party. Burgess, 8. R. McKinley, Orphans’ party. School Directors, C. 8. Lichlter, Democrat, and L. C. Boyer, Republican. Town Council, Robt. H. Johnston, Republican, and George Schramm, Democrat. Street Commissioner, John Ringler, Orphans’ party: Tax Collector, M. J. Glotfelty, Re- publican. ; Auditors, L. H. Boucher, Republican, and J. C. Lichliter, Democrat. Judge of Election, O. C. Wagner, Re- publican. Inspector, P. M. Wahl, Democrat. The non-partisan caucus idea can- not be regarded as a success, for the reason that the majority of the prop- erty owners of the town will not turn out to a caucus, while the young men, many of whom are full of thoughtless devilment and bad whisky, will turn out to the man and try to make nomi- nations that are simply ridieulous, for the mere fun of the thing. It is about time for the substantial citizens of this town to weke up and do something Our borough eléetions sve the ‘most dis rectly important of ell elections to % most of our people, and every citizen vhould attend the caucuses or prima- ries. To remain away is to jeopardize the best interests of our town. We believe that the primary eleetion ‘system of nominating borough and township officers is far the best and most satisfactory. The non-partisan and so-called citizens’ eaucuser are usually too unwieldy, and afford too much opportunity for fraud. The pri- mary system would be much fairer, and we believe the better class of citizens would also take more interest in it. By the caucus system the weakest candidates are as frequently nominated as the strongest ones, owing to fool mo- tions and other things done in a hurry and without thought, In the caucus here reviewed, McKinley was the weakest man of the three balloted for for Burgess. The candidates were Me- Kinley, E. McDowell and Jer. J. Liven- good, and had the contest been be- tween McKinley and either of his op- ponents alone, the present nominee would have been badly defeated. But somebody foolishly moved that nomi- nations be closed, thoughtlessly the motion was carried, and then McKinley was nominated by the “skin of his teeth.” But he isn’t elected yet, and be ought not to be. The majority of the people of Salisbury will be very sorry of it if they elect him. ROUGH HANDS MADE SMOOTH.
