What are the couditionsof our street today, muddy or dnsty? The deficit in the tevenues of the United States during October was $9,300,000. Comment is nnnecessary. Let all demoerats close np the ranks, ■viorory awaits the'm in 1898 and 1900. Let the party of Jefferson and Jackson get in trim to start the new csntnry aright. Saline's village expenses dnring October were $19.63, an average of two and two-thirds cents per capita. Compare witb this Arm Arbor's Ootober expenses, $4,109.03, an average of 37 cents per capita.

When a lawyer is canght doing unprofessionanl work or dishonest work, he ehonld be disbarred from the profession.

Tbis wonld be a move in the dirección of assisting the laboring man and other small wage earners to save money in dri biets, being sure of its absolnte safety. The government already issues money orders, doing part of a banking business. It has proven a great oonvenience to the people. Postal avings banks will be ano+her step in advance. The name of Mayor Maybnry is being spoken of in conneotion with the democratie gnbernatorial noraination. He wonld make a strong oandidate, and wonld make as good a governor as Michigan has ever had.
