Wno woud'nt be a soldier in Russia? The pay is abont $2.25ayear in our money. Why is it that the administration is giviDg Geu. Fitzhugh Lee no chance to distingnish bimself? The Times has suooeeded in fixing the title of Jndson 's rongh riders on a large and inflnential element of tbe repnblioan party. The democratie state ticket is a strong one. Justin B. Whiting is an able and strong man and wonld be a credit to the state shotüd he be elected governor. Our brave boya in blue as wellas onr navy have astonished the world witb tbeir fighting qnalities. It is strange that the world has not nnderstood that the Americana are fighters. The treruendous batrles and the heroisoi shown 30 years ago shoold have proven that for all time. Provisión shoold be made for hitobing posts by our oity fathers. If it is not done in time still more of onr farmer trade will be driven away from as. Plenty of posts should be provided so that it will not be a difficult matter for anyone to hitch near vchere they want to trade. It is by paying attention to little tbings like this that many towns build up and retain a large farming trade. In 3 897, the Miobigan school censns sho'wed tbat there were 697,680 persons of school age in tbe state and yet the total enrollment of all the Sanday schools of the state is 371,000. Dedncting the adults from this enrollment and it will be seen that only four ont of every 10 children of school age attend any Sanday sohool. It is evident that there is a large mission field for onr Snnday school workers. The fact that Mr. Wederneyer cama within flve votes of a nomination and held bis forcea there for so Jong a time gives some idea of the kind of a oongressional flght he conld have put op. No observer of the republican convention believes tbat the snooessfnl candidate oonld have held his foroes in line for any number of ballots. Wedemeyer faas the qnaliries that makes bis friends loyal friends. For a man of 25, he bas already made a wonderful record. Henry C. Smith in bis speech of acceptanoe of the repnblioan nomination for Congess said: "I am in favor of anything and everything; I am in favor of going to Congess. " Isn't that a refreshing platform on which to ron - in favor of a single gold Standard, in favor of free silver, in favor of proteotion, in favor of free trade, in favor of a tarifffor revenne only, in favor of ■war, in favor of peaoe at any prioe, in favor of annexation of the Phillipines, in favor of Amerioa only for Americans, in favor of anything that will help him to get to oongress. Everybody ooght to be satisfled, for whatever their views, Smith is in favor of them. The repnblioan editorial association of the state sent Perry F. Powers to Mexico to prepare a saries of artioles against silver based on Mexioo's experience. In bis very firsfc artiole, Mr. Powers is forced to admit the falsity of one of the stook republioan argumenta against free coiage - the argument that with free coinage all the silver of the world wonld be rnsbed to tbis oountry and damped npon us. Mr. Powers declares that there is no such rush of silver to Mexico as the result of the free ooinage of silver there. Others of the arguments against siJver will also be shown to be nntanabie if Mr. Powers is not blinded by his partisansbip in making his argument.
