It pays to be honest even in politics. Hill stole the legislature of New York for his party, and what has it availed him. His name has been hissed in every Democratie convention held in the east this year. He has been kicked for his dishonesty. - Ann Arbor Courier. Granting that the statement of the Courier is true, that paper has struck upon the difference between the Republicans and Democrats. Who ever heard of a Republican kicked by his 'party for his dishonesty? The editor of the Ypsilantian took a run through the pearl button factory, at Detroit, latelyand was overwhelmed with the benefits of the McKinley bill which made it possible to give employmentto somany girls there, and enable the money to be kept at home. The editor didn't investígate the wages paid those girls, but he might learn how labor is aided by tariff if he would go and look over the pay roll. A strike has been inaugurated by girls whom they wish to make rich by paying ij( cents a gross for drilling the holes in ttye buttons. The girls get 34 cents per day for 10 hours. This is the statement of the labor leader, Mr. Ogg. He says there is not a healthy looking lady in the entire lot of overworked humanity, with the McKinley protection to maKe their purses fat, and their cheeks bloom with health. Thirtyfour cents a day, and then want to cut down at that. Fine protected industry indeed. - Adrián Press. The Republicans have been laughing for several months over the controversy in the Democratie ranks between the friends of Cleveland and Hill, but all of a sudden they have quit laughing. They find that they have a row of large sized dimensions on hand to settle at their national convention on Tuesday and have no time to laugh at the Democrats until their own melee is disposed of. And it is doubtful whether a settlement will be effected thereor indeed whether the Republicans will have time to laugh again before election, and by that time theirhilarity will be turned to sorrow. The difference between the contests in the two pafties is that Cleveland and Hill have been open opponents, while the battle waged against Harrison by Blaine has been in secret. Even Hill never went so far as to write a letter declining to be a candidate and then issue secret instructions to "burn this" or that he didn't mean it. No matter whether Harrison or Blaine is nominated by the Republicans, the successful candidate will have all that he can do to swing the supporters for his rival into line.
