Tuk assertion is made, which inany profesa to believe, tliat Rev. Mr. Armstrong, rector of the Episcopal church at Atlanta, Ga., is in realityj. WilkesBootli, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. Doa't put too much credit upoti that assertinn. We should rather be in Rev. Armstrong's boots who.'everhe may be.than in Booth's. But if the assassin Booth was alive, it woükl be perfectly uatural to look for him in some such place. The Lansing Republican ií responsible for the following: "Ex-Rcpresentative C. H. Mosher is looking for a little good f rom the democratie Nazareth. He hibored early and late as the prohibition candidate forcongressagainst thatstauneh prohibition republican, E. P. Allen, and so Col: .JJldredge, the democratie nominee slipped in by 50 pluiality. The gallant. colonel now proposes to give "Charley" the Mosherville postoftice." TnEJubilant young democrats of the south are peculiar in their humor. A southern correspondent of a democratie newspaper says: "Following tlie aunouncement of Mr. Cleveland's election tothe presidency there was a feeling on the part of the colored people that it might forebode disaster. This was aided to some extent by the juliilant jokes of some young men who vyould laughinsly teil colored men that they were now worth $1,000 apiece." Mondat night's dispatehes brought the sad intelligence of the death on Sunday last of Aliss Emma A. Hall, of Ypsilanti, at Albuqueríiue, Xew Mexico, where she had chaigeof au Indian mission school. Miss Hall was one of the noble vromen of Michigan, and deserves a place in the histpry of thL Jtate. She served as nu non ol Xlie state sciiidi at Com Vt ttterTOf a time, and afterward was appointed nutron of the state school for the deaf and dumb, at Flint, where she was beloved by everybody wlio knew lier. Wben the state established a reformatory for girls at Adrián, her superior knowledge was called into requisition to rightly start it on the road to success. As soon as she had performed that hercúlea n task, she went to Xew Mexico in the hope of repairing her health whicli had been quite seriously affected by the greatstrain upon her. Her whole life has been spent in the interest of others. She was a grand woman, and has certainly laid up for herself treasures in heaven. Hers has been a busy life, full of devotion to the unfortunate, full af comfort to the afilicted aad uiring. Ann Arbor has the reputatioa of maklng the most out of every public building.- Ypsilantl Sentinel. That's a lie, of course. Ann Arbor has no such reputation, but the Ypsilanti Sentinel would be glad to make the people of the county believe such a falsehood to be fact, if it was smart enough. The Sentinel cannot cite au instance hearing out the assertion. The Sentinel further siiye: "Let Ann Arbor buik], as good a station huse of her own as she pleases, and leave the jail to the care and discretion of the supervisors.'" A proposition Aun Arbor will gladly accept providing the couiity will exeuipt Ann Arbor f rom lier share of the tnxes when the "discretion of the supervisors" admits the necessity of a new jail. If Ann Arbor builds her own jail and takes care ot her own prisoners, of course the county couldn't have the supreme cheek to ask her to pay one-fifthof the taxes toward a new county jail which she woukl never use, and a big bonus beside?. Ypsilanti editors probably would have that ainount of facial expansión, but the people would not. If the riot, violence and assault committed upon 011e Dakata town by anolher had haijpened in a Southern State, there would have been an appeal to arm from every Blalne organ, and a deraand that Cleveland should not be allowed to take hls seal. If it were a Terrltory with a democratie majorlty, such an oocurence would be consldered enongh to keep ltout for the next flfty yeara.- Detroit Free Press. There is this difference my dear P. P. Ii Dakota the trouble is not a political one. The democrats are not arrayed against republicans or vice versa. In the South republicans always get killed in such troubles. In Dakota do one has been killed yet, but if there should be- well, we must confess it would probably be republicans, for there don't apprar to be any democrats in the territory of any conscquence. But they don't shoot any one out In Dakota because of their political convictions. Do you see the difference my dear F. P. ? It ought to be npparent even to your inreneely partlsan cyes.
