The Tyler County Star has added
another year to its age and is still
prosperous. The Star is now and has
been the mainstay of Tyler Republi-
cans. Its fealty has never been doubt
ed and the result is seen in the steady
increase of the Republican majority
in that county. Having, in the years
gone by, guided the Star on its way,
friends will excuse US for feeling spec
tally proud of the effects produced by
the Star.

Prompt Train Service,

During the month of April the pas.
senger train movement on all Divis.
ions of the B. & O. system was re-
markable for punctuality. The
through express trains arrived at
their respective destinations on sche-
dule time ninety-five per cent of the
time. This is performance rarely
equalled by roads operating as many
trains as are run on the B. & O., and
speaks well for the rank aud file. as
well as the officials of the Operating
Department.

NOT WORRIED IN THE LEAST.

The Herald is hattered with the en-
comiums heaped upon its editor. 1t
is truely refreshing to read in our
Democratic contemporaries of the in
fiuence we possess. But feeling of
sadness crosses our mind when we
think that the Democracy has no in
ffuential material to take charge of its
organs. That should not, however,
give us great annoyance. While
those organs herald our achievements
we should DE supremely happy.
Seriously, we have opinions upon
certain subjects and have not hesita-
ted to express them If our sugges-
tons are good and are accepted and
acted upon by the people, it must be
because the people consider them
good. AS has been frequently sug-
gested "the people of Berkeley coun-
ty are not FOOLS" They know a
good thing when they see it and if
our friends cannot evolve a new
idea they should stand aside and al
low someone to take charge who,
when he gets into a discussion can
do something more than call his OPP
ponent ugly names. Any bar-room
bum can do that. The people expect
something better of an individual
who aspires to mold public opinion.
Just now we are much interested in
securing the very best men for Mayor
and members of the City Council.
Owing to the fact that many really
good men do not relish running the
gauntlet of vituperation and abuse
that disreputable characters heap up
on those who strive to do their duty,
it is often difficult to secure the con-
sent of our best citizens to serve the
municipality. From the moment
man accepts a nomination he is either
subjected to abuse or else is bled to
death by fellows who make it bust
ness to make life burden to candi-
dates. If anyone. doubts that state
ment let him ask DR.. Henshaw, Dem
ocratic candidate for Mayor. He has
been bled from every pore and the
end is not yet 1t is an infamous
outrage. The Herald would like to
give the genial doctor little hauling
over the Goals but has not yet done so.
and may refrain entirely because his
woes are many. The Republicans of
Martinsburg have good ticket 1t is
composed all the way through of safe
business men who believe in the flu
ture of the city and will do all in their
power to promote her prosperity. No
rash promises have been made and
none have been demanded. The peo-
pie are satisfied and are not worried
in the least about the result of the
contest They we'll know that the
Herald would not advocate the cleo
ton of unsafe men.

Great Regret Over the Departure
of Their Cardinal.

Washington, Oct. 5. 5.-Yesterday
being the last Sunday upon which
Cardinal Satolli will olliciate in
any capacity in this country, as he
leave for Rome on Wednesday,
that distinguished official of the
church celebrated solemn pontiti-
calmass at st. Aloysius. His sue
cessor, Archbishop Martinelli, who
was present, occupied a seat upon
"the throne" which was erected
for his special use, as a seat OF ho-
nor. The altar was appropriately
decorated and several distinguish
ed priests assisted the Cardinal in
the mass.
The day was in some degree a
day of farewells to the departing
and welcomes to the coming great
dignataries of The church. Last
night New Gonzala College hall,
the corner stone of which was LAID
by Cardinal Satolli, his emineltce
was rendered farewell reception.
The auditorium and gallery which
are of spacious size, were crowded
to their fullest extent. The func-
ton, which was altogether social
in its character, opened with ad
|dresses from the students of Con,
zago college, all of which tended
in direction of the expression o.
the great regard felt for the car
dinal, and mingling regrets for hi'
departure, with praise and vel
