The above is an extract from an edi-
torial IN the Star, the character of
which is disgusting palaver over
Grover Cleveland. Not that it is an un-
common thing to see such rot in the
Star. for it has been innicting a suffer-
ing public with similar nauseating
doses for long time. bat it demon
strates to intelligent American citizens
TO what length hero worship has gone
IN this country. When such serial
SlobheriDgs are devoted to man whose
arrogance and infleXible despotism has
made him more of dictator than a
president, it is time the free people Of
America to be concerned for the safe
ty Of republican institutions. No pres.
ident IN the history of our country has
gone to so great length in abuse of
power and overriding the will of the
people as has Grover Cleveland, or has
SO far taken the liberty of managing the
legislative as well as executive depart
ments OF our government. The con-
slant stream of editorial toadyism in
administration papers reveals the fact
that hero worship is being promulgated
at an alarming rate, the result of which
is disastrous to the fundamental prin.
clples upon which our government is
established. The diametrical opposi-
ton to the interests of the west and
SOUTH advocated by such papers. Is pro-
ducing q nausea that is akin to hatred.

Tires and Roads.

The last legislature in the State OF
New York enacted law reducing
the road tax to farmers who used
broad tires on their wagons. Any
tire below three and one half inches
in breadth in that state causes an in
crease of road tax to the owners. As
a set of tires will cost no more than
twelve dollars the reduction in taxes
soon buys for them. The weight OF
the load carried where wide tires are
used is increased sufficiently to pay
for the outlay in brief period. An
other advantage is that wheels last
much longer where wide tires are
used, because side jars on the spokes
are less frequent. Another benefit
is sure to follow the use of wide
tires, viz, mems tempers will not be
on the ragged edge so frequently and
profanity will not be an adjunct of
every load to town or station. The
use of wide tires means better roads
and better roads means relief to the
farmers and his hard worked horses,
and any law that accomplishes this
benefits agriculture and stands for
progress. Why not agitate for law
in this state similar to the one passed
in New York so that the narrow tire
that cuts up and ruins our roads
may gradually disappear and finally
become thing of the past.

The Lowest Rate Of the Year to Chicago
via Pennsylvania Railroad.
A FURTHER REDUCTION IN FARE FOR THE
COACH EXCURSIONS.

The rapidly approaching termina-
tion of the Columbia Exposition
and the enormous travel now direct
ing itself to Chicago prompt the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
still further reduce its round trip
rate on the popular Worlds Fair
Coach Excursions. The rate from
Philadelphia will be Sl7 Lancaster,
SlG.S5 Harrisburg, $3.50; Altoona,
Sli50, and II proportionate roduc-
ton from other points along the
main line and branches. These rates
apply only to special trains leaving
on September 2sth, October 2d and
an additional one just arranged for
October 9Th. The tickets will, rs
before, be good for return passage
within ten days on trains leaving
Chicago at 3:lj aud ll:3O p. IN.
The rate has now reached the low
est possible point, and is within the
means of almost every one, which
end the railroad company has long
been endcavoring to attain. Early
application for tickets is urged, il
view of the increased demand whicl
will undoubtedly follow this liberia
announcement.
The service for this travel will b,
maintained ut the same standard fol
which the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is Justly worldwide fam.

case and an executor in another, al
though their duties are respectively
the same," said an old attorney.
San executor is named in the will to
administer the estate. An executrix
is female. If there is no will, the
female who closes the estate is call
ed the Administrative. If the person
named in the will as an executor re-
fuses to serve, the court appoints
another person and he is styled the
administrator with the will annexed.
If a person in charge of an estate

successor is called an administrator

Mind Your Own Business.

Thebardest thing for many peo-

ino6i Especially in u social way.
!sr<v Anpot let their neighbors' af-
fairs alone, but gossip about every
thing and everybody. No character
is too good for them to assail by in
uendo or doubtful shake of the
head. They always know something
about everybody and, to hear them
talk, all the world is filed with hypo-
critics, thieves, liars, prostitutes and
rogues. They see innocence in moth
ing, and delight in gathering and re-
failing scandal. OF course, they are
very good themselves exceedingly
so. They never violate any of the
commandments; of course not. They
would scorn to steal and will tell
you sorrowfully about samll boy

apple from fruit stand. But they
never imagine that to steal II char
