Hot city eleotions were held in Indianapolis and Cbattanooga, Tuesday. In both oities the democrats were encoessfnl, winning ont in Indianapolis by 5,000 and in Chattanooga by 995. McKiuley carried both these oities last fall by good sized ruajorities. The Ann Arbor Conrier ironically remarbs that the new flrm of printers organized this week "will fill a long feit want here in Ann Arbor by starting a new printing office." Yes, another printing offioe was as mnch needed in Ann Arbor as a pig needs two tails. The wonders of the Dingley bill continue to multiply. Those farmers in Europe, who were so fortnnate as to raise any wheat this year, are getting a dollar a bushei for it, or even more. Nothing in the tariff line ever before bas proven itself such a price lifter wheu it comes to wheat as the Dingley bill. It has taken the world's wheat market by the nape of the neok so to speak, and lifted it up several points as it were without au effort. - Ex. "I teil yon," thundered Senator Tburston, of Nebraska, a republican politician of national repute, at a mass meeting in New York city, "that there will be no more republican presidents for years to come if you don 't elect Mr. Tracy, mayor of your great city. " Wb hope Mr. Thurston is correct in nis prediotion, for if it is only necessary to defeat Tracy in New York to ensnre democratie presidents for years tocóme, theie is great hope for the democracy. Hay was selling this time last year at f7 and $8 per ton. The tariff last year was $2 a ton. This year hay is selling at f 5 and L6 a ton, and that too with a tariff of 4 a ton under the new law. If the Dingley bilí has done such great things for wheat and potatoes and hides, what is the reason Mark and prosperity haven't kept up the price of hay and at least increasefl it as much as the tariff, $2 a ton. There seerus to be a piece of the prosperity machinery loose somewhere. - Adrián Telegam. Thfi greatest newspaper advertiseinent of the year is the sensational release of Signoia Cisnero, the Cuban girl, frnm a Spanish military prison by the agents of the New York Jonrnal. The J'&urnal finding itself unable, aftei by herculean efforts,aronsing the moral sentiment of the world, to affect the .callona Weyler, brote the bars of a prison window and smuggled the girl out of Coba. This was not only gathering news but making news. And the world applauds as it would any deed that would free not only one Cuban but all Cuba. The Neue Washtenaw Post last week comes to the front with a strong attack on Senator McMillan and the politicians who are getting the federal patronage in Michigan, who are called "spavened and wind broken." It charges praotically that millionaires and aristócrata "who oare nothing for the necessities and well being of the common people are striving to perpetúate their unscrupulous and corrupt management of tbe state and the natioual politics at the public expense. They are the men who have endeared to the common people such necessities as sugar, lumber, leather, etc, in order to still furiber enrich themselves and a few other millionaires. " öuch being the oase, the Neue Washtenaw Post would best serve the interest of its consitueuts should it join hands with the demooracy in an at. tempt to bring about a government for the people and by the people, iustead of a government by a class of the people aüd for a olass of the people. The greater New York carnpaign is increasing in interest. The four leading candidates at this writing seem to be Van Wyck, Low, George and Tracy, in about the order named. The George managers who were short of funds to carry on the campaign indorsed the Low borough tickets.on the Low candidates agreeing to put up the money xiecessary to carry on the George campaign, bo that now all the candidates 6eem to be eqnipped with the sinews of political warïare in the shape of jnoney. The Cleveland democraoy eeerns to be as badly split in thiB tioa as are rbe other paiTies. By a níajority of about (SO iu a convention of 600, Low was indorsed over Van Wyck. Postinaster Dayton is supporting George, and Burke Coohran is ont for Tracy. All four oadnidates thus have their friends and supporters in this element. The pionounced silver men bolted Van Wyck because the Tam' many platform had nothing to say on national issues, bnt was devoted entirely to looal issues and uorninated George. George in acoepting says he is opposed to free silver but indorses the other planks of the Chioago platform. Van Wyck was a supporter of Bryan lase fall, bnt noWrefuses to talk on any but municipal issues. Thus to punish a man for talking looal issues in a local campaigns, the most ontspokeu free nomiuate a man who declares he is against thena. And the flght goes merrily on
