Cougrcss organized Monday. Crisp, oí Georgia, vrnx elected speaker. The Iiepulilican party, froni President Harriaon down, objects to inlnority representation of any class or kind. The harangue of the president in his message to congress against the new system of electing presidental eleetors ra Micliigau, is merely a protest against allowing a miuority any voice in the elioice of a president. President Harrison has issued hia message to congress. aecording to custom. The president appears to have growii dyspeptic over the new incthO1 adopted for electing presidential electora in Michigan and devotes considerable spaee to censuring this action. His principal objection, read between the lines, is that Harrison wil! be able to get but few of the electoral votes from Michigan in 1892. Recently the Register started a buga-boo, whieli has gone broadcast througliout the state and iias given Ann Arbor a financial reputatiou which she is not entitled to. Their statement that Ann Arbor would pay interest on an overdraft of $20,000 nntil Feb. lst, was merely the statement of a croaker and were as truthiul as sueh croakings usually are. The fallaey of their croak is showni by the fact that to-day the city lias a good (substaiitial balance In the bank, whieh is being iucreased f rom $1,000 to $3,000 a day as taxes are receivcd. No city in. the union stands more solid or has a better fiuancial 1-ecord taan Ann Arbor, althougli it might be easilj injured if all our local papers carried out he croaking policy maintained by the Register. The average business man is an easy victim when it comes to dealing with a strauger, and yct when dealing with those wliom he knows and who deal with hini daily, he is sharp and shrewd. Hundreds of men live upon the scnerues whieh they concoct and work upon the businessmen of the country. A sample of this was seen in Ann Arbor last "week. A perfee' fitranger carne here with a "new' advertislng scheme, although in fact it was a very old one and one that had been worked here several times before. He went to see the business iirms and that he was successful is shown by the well-filled pocketbook that he carried away with liim. 'Twas a catch-penny affair, bu1 he received the financial support that none of the local papers or advertising agents could have received for legitimate advertising that would have paid them a inmdred fold betten. Nor even if a man well known here had tried to work the same seheme would he have met with anything like the success a stranger would. The scheme itseli was one which really ought not to be called an advertising scheme, as it really falla to advertise.
