The Star says it opposes an in
dependent court here because it
would cost the county so much. We
replied by showing conclusively
that it would not cost the county a
single penny. We would like to
see the Star deny what we say. OF
course it can say we lie, but that is
nothing, and is moi argument. If
the court would be an expense to
the county, tell US why and how it
would all be. The Star opposes a
charter, a court and everything
else because it is in Sistersville,
and this is the sole and only reas-
on. It should say SO, and not be a
contemplate, lying hypocrite any
longer. That is what it is, and
everybody Knows it is so.

GARNET NEEDS REPAIRING

In dealing with San PEDRO Alger
showed that he is something of strate-
sist in matters of that kind. In gobbins
up timber and making large fortune he
has displayed the qualities of an expert.
Should the conflict with Spain grow to
considerable magnitude, he will have op-
nortunity to disclose how much of
strategist he is in war. AS Postmaster
General Gary resigned on account OF
tendency to heart failure, it is not i'm
probable that Alger will be compelled to
do likewise on account of head failure.
What a president most needs in an
emergency like the present is an able
cabinet, especially in the state, war ana
navy departments. Already outside help
has become necessary in diplomatic af-
fairs on account of the physical ana
mental decrepitude of Sherman. While
fresh blood is being called into the army,
il would seem to be wise to reconstruct
the cabinet by the appointment of men
equal to the labor and responsibility
which the emergency requires.
