The Homecoming star ironically
'commends" the Homecoming Rerje~
for staying out of the cmbroglio be-
tween the grand jury and the county
commissioners, although the star is
mot in the habit" of doing such
things.
The Rerter cndures in silence. In
deed, for some good reason its status
may be characterized as one of cxstatic
bcwildermcnt and supernal JOY.
Now and then we yet hear from
points where the ignohlc old Order is
nobly new. that such and such strike
is declared off"
This is generally done after it is
found that the strike is failure.
AT that juncture, Noble Order of
North America, it makes no difference
whether the strike is declared on or off
1t does not require the proclamation
of a governor or a decree of court to
establish the fact that corpse is dead
The Homecoming Star is mot in the
habit of making sarcastic allusions to
anyone's poverty"
Neither is the JOURNAL.
AT the same time an old French
proverb has it that ''poverty is the
mother of all arts" Hence, poverty
is the parent of printing. "the art pre-
servative of all the arts"
If all this be true, and we do not
doubt it any more than that me
cessity is the mother of invention" it
would seem that poverty, like neces-
sity, is above sarcasm.
And then, dear Star, look at the
chances hereafter under system
which has made it easier for a camel
to thread a needles eye than for a rich
man to obtain the reward of poverty.
Hence, we regret that the Star man
ifestly regards as a reproach perhaps
its on y spark of saving grace.

IT appears that the miners of the
Gallitzin region, having accepted a
reduction of 10 cents per ton, have
furnished well-founded cause of fear
among the miners of neighboring fields.
AS 30 cents is the district price" it
is hard to understand how the Knights
of Labor permitted this breach in their
line.
1t is stated, however, that some d.
A., or l.. A. over there, with number
too big for enumeration, has taken the
matter in hand, and "the hydra-headed
monster will be nipped in the bud
as Titus A. Brick remarked of the bull
which threw Samuel Sevenup over the
haystack.

AN ltinerant school commission in
Massachusetts has discovered and re
ported an alarming prevalence of illit-
eracy in the public schools of that
State. Their accounts show some
dreadful developments of inefficient
teaching.
Various causes are assigned for this
state Of affairs, amounting to a crimi-
nal waste of the peoples money and
the children's irrecoverable time. The
majority stumbles and falls over all
the facts but the true one.
a minority member, however, comes
out tlat-footed and ascribes it to "the
vast preponderance of female teachers
employed for reasons which have no
bearing upon the promotion of popular
education."
