GROWING OLD.
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.

GRATEFUL WIDOW.
Thanks Those Who Made Her Hus-

A West Virginia widow who lost her
husband by death sent the following
communication to the county news-
paper:
“Mr. Editor: I desire to thank the
friends and neighbors most heartily in
this manner for the united aid and co-
operation during the illness and death
of my husband, who escaped from me
by the hand of death on Friday last
while eating breakfast. To the friends
and all who contributed so willingly
toward making the last moments and
funeral of my husband a success I de-
sire to remember most kindly, hoping
these few lines will find them enjoying
the same blessing. I have also a good
milch cow and roan gelding horse, 8
years old, which I will sell cheap.
