A "glorious Result," Indeed!

One of Anti Arbor s newspapers uas been bragglog abont the " great moral reform" it claims to have worked in Aun Arbor, and cites to prove its case Unit a proprietor of a gambltng house had agreed to leave the city it' sllowed to depait in pe;ice which he was permitted to do. Tlie statement was made that "evervbodv was BMtUfled.1 Let's look the ground over a trille. What has been accoinplUhed ? Has any one been arrested? Yes, one man. Has any one been convieted ? No. Has anythtag been done to help Ann Arbor? Perhaps tliere has. Bead the (ollowlng from the last Ypsilantian and judge for yourself : "This is .suri'ly a serious subject, and one In which legitímate interest CSDDOt be bounded by geojírapliical Unes, Ann Arbor, as the seat of the University, belongs to ihe state; and the influences to be tbere ihrown around the boys entrusted to the University's care is a subject of' vital moment to the whole state, Sfic'cess oKtlie'X'n'ivèisft'y "il's'el't'depends uiioii thn iirmier rrjirnBl flf fchfl inifvaiuiea sliown to exist. It is but a fortnivtiit 8iuce one of the most powerful and wu.ilthy religioua bodies in the state earnestly discussed the necessity of establishitig a colleue of it own, because of MStimed defects in the University, ancl the subject was merely postpomd tor one ycar. "These gi ievaDces eannot be redreUM by sileme. Tliey cannot be inored and they cannot be tolerated. Kither, tliey must be removed, or the Universiiy itsilf will be removed.

" And tliis is what Ann Arbor gallis! A reputatlon that is slmply damnable. Is tliere a citizen of thU city that can read the above qtiotation and not feel the blood tingle in his tinger aiuls? If there la such a one in our city we pity hiiu. And to thiuk of nnb iitainous falsehoods beinjr scattered broadcast over thia state. The Ypsilantian is perhaps not to blame for drawing such a picture of this city after such articles have been fjiven publicity as have been published here. Are not our people proud of this resnlt? Should not every citizen of this city be "satiified? " The paragraph quoted below is takon from tbe Washington Capital. The portion of it referrin{ to Mr. Parker as beIng a regent of the University, is indeed news to Michigan people. The only promiiience Mr. Parker ever gained in Michigan, a wheo, as a uieuaber of the state houe of representatives, bejolned the fusión forcea that defeated Senator Chandler, and placed Judge Christiancy in the senate. A deed tliat did not leave him in very rood polltlcal repute in Michigan, and ever sinite he has been a remarkably quiet polltioal corpse. Bnt that makes no particular difference with the article referred to which is as follows : "I have republlshed several poems by 'Beasie Chandler1 from the Century aud ather miigaziiicH, for is oi)e of the most charmiuK of our poets. Those who admire her versea wiübe lnterealed to kuow that 'Besste Chandler' Is Mrs. Le Koy Parker, of Kimt, Michigan, the wile of a young farmer of that place, who Is one of the regent's of tbe Michigan Unlverulty. Thelr marrluge was tbe denoument of a pretty romance. 8he was a New Eugland girï, and her nom-deplume was her malden name. Wlien Mr. Parker was a college student he read ber poems, and addressed a letter to her, whlch was forwarded tbrougti the editor of tbe magazlue In whlcb tliey appeared. 8he answered It. and after a correspondence of several monlhs met her at one of the New England watering places, where acqualntance rlpeued into courtship and resulted In marrlage.

The paper is entiiely the work of its editor the type being set and forma made up by him, proving tliat he ia an excellent and tasty printer as well as beino' a rood pastor. This little paper is h'lled with good tliings, too, and we wish it could be read by everybody, for no one could help hut be beneflted by peruBinj; tliese well fllled pngfS. May the many kernels of wheat sown in these columns fall upon productive soil, and reap a rich reward - not alone in earthly treaeurea but in beavenly ones as well - for this printer-preacher, this faithful and earne8t worker In God's vineyard.
