i inj ( i li'Mii viiir ii.ivvK m .iiMMir, mi" most independent jnurnal we havr gaefl lately. That is, it is independent of deínoeratic principies, and altliongh not hoisting the ñames of the rermbHaan ndnñnpes, pours hot shot into the rebel rnriks. The editor inakes a lively sheet, with a " liye like a heagle," inste id of a hawk. The Caro Adven iser thus refera tj poor Turkey and the picking of her borjes " Tbs diamemberment of Turkey in Europe has probaLly comincnccd. The sultan cannot surrender the terriiory of the faitbful to the iufidel exceptunder eoin pulsión. When the ia eorupelled to surreoder a slice to Greece it will bo easy to give a sliee to eorae other hungry neighbor, and so on till the dissection is coinpleted,which let us all hope will be soon." ThoSt. Jo. Ilerald thiokl the democratie party u heavy on the shift : M Times change and politicians ehange. Four yearM ago the democratie nutional convention, in its platform, denianded the rcpual of the specie resumption act. Xow, in its Cincinoati platform, it declares for ' honest raoney, consisijng of gold aud silver, and paper convertible into coin on demand.' Four years ago it demandé? the abolition of national banks, now it says not a word on that subject." The Berrien Co. Itecord, pablished at Kuchanan, tbus compiiments 8ome of ita citizens on the care uf their children : " Some of those who are raising ilic-.three to ten ye:ir old children on the streets of tbit town will live to wish they had enforced home rule and presence more rigidly, we mütru-t. There are a half dezen or more young lads whose parents are abundaütly ablo to care tor them, and have comfortablo homos, yet tlioy tako loss care of their children than of ttnir pigs in the pen." The Oceana County Journal: " Tho democrats and greeübackera have a great deal to eay about the issues of the war beiug dead ones, and that we sliould drop tional strife that has been going on for so tuany years, and yet thcy each n .minated a soldier, the democrats aropping all their able statesmen in order to get one, and the first and only thing they have to say of their eandidate is, " well, he was a good unión general." By their actimi ia nominating such uien they virtually admit everything the republicans have said of the traitorous spirit of tbe south." The enlightening and educational inBuence of a newspaper ia t-hown by the lollowingitem from the Dowagiac Kepublican : The census enumerators found no trouble except at plaoes where no newfpaper waa takeo. There they thought it must be some plan to make "somebody richer and they poorer, " or a work instigated by " some bloated monopolist to rob the people," or some such cant rcason. But few realize the all-pervading influenco of the newspaper, and the man that scoffs at the press or begrudges the money to support it, strikes a blow at the mightiest lever of civilization." liillsdale standard : In all honesty, do you believe that a nian who is so Mrapulously hones-t and conscientious that he refases to take a salary grab of $5,000, ptying the tuoiicy back to the jrnvernment by having t covered into tho l'niteJ States treasury, do you believe such a man would join a gang of thievea tbr plunder and swear to a lie for the small sum of $329 'Í Is that tho way rascáis do ? And yet the people are asked to believe that this isju-t what Oen. (iarüeld has done. The charge when first made years agp feil tn the {round from its owu wcakness, and lon selore November democratie newspapers wil] be ashamed to speak of it. ' ' llow different this view of the benefit of )ur public school, taken lïom tlie Ypsiantian, from that ed by some of our Kalamazoo friendi: "Can Fpiitantj iot trace her loss of inhabitants to tbc beittling of her public schools? We will not pretend to say, but we desire to eall he attention of our citizens to the tact that during the prestest proaparity of the seminary, and while the school's reputaion stood highest in the state, Ypsilanti as looked upon as a growing placo. In I STO the last large cla.ss was graduati il. At that time Ann Arbor was muoh weaker hun now. This year Ypilanti jrraduates ivo, and Ann Arbor over fifty. JTpsflanti las lost nearly 500 in population, while Ann Arbor has gained 1,000. This in tbe 'ace of the fact that manufacturing emplqys dollars here to cents there. Let our oitizens make a note of it." Itecounting the many luxuries of Michigan, and the fruitfuluess of her soil, the Albion Itepublican gets off the following very sensible'article : "This soason strawjerries were plenty and che:ip, and staid with ua from the middle of May to tbe ast of June. Then carne raspbenies, eherries and currants in great abundanec. iverybody had their fill and at their own price. Now we have huckleberries and jeaches, no't by the bushei, but litcrally by car loads. Jiosides these fruit?, evrry kind of garden truuk is superabundante All crops promise lare yields. The whaal erop of the state, last yoar, averaged nine een and one-fifth bushels to the acre, and irought from $1.00 to $1.40 per buhe). Chis year it will be a greater avurage than ist, though it is now worth only 90 cent.-. Votwithstanding all these facts, there are some people who are not happy, but have a restless desire to ro west, where they'll ïever see a strawberry or huckleberry, whore peachos aro a nickel apieee, green on one side and rotten on the otuer, at that, where a Michigan apple is worth taweight n tilver, where they sit under the tbade of ouinstalks in summcr and try to keep 'rom freezing to dcath in the winter by mrning said cornstalks for fuel, a!l tor the sake of raising eleved busliols of wheat to o the acre, and getting fifty cents a keahel 'or it.
