Editorial Notes

What rank heresy is this, froni tlie Lansiug Journal : "It looks a little as if Lieut. Gov. elect Jones of New York belongs to that economie politica! sect of which Mr. William II. Englisb. is a distinguished apostle." Aa edltors are Rupposed to know evcrythlne, we aak our brethren of the press what the Palma Christo plant Is? lts ploun name and lts profltable cultlvation In the south as a substituto for cotton excite our curloslty.- Uraad Haven Herald. 80 it seems that there 8 one editor who admits that he doesn't know everything. And now tliere's two. ThougU the world may not so regard it there is tnuch truth in this assertion by the Ovid Union : "A fallen woman is just as respectable as a fallen man - this may be tough on the men, but nevertheless, it is a sweet morsel for poor, misguided, sinned against and slnning women, dragged down to a Ufe of shame and wrt-tchedness by her natural protectorman." Unless a man has solid ability or distinguishing characteristics of some sort about him, how soon he drops out of the public mind, though he may have filled an exalted poeitkm during his life time. This fact Ie brought to mind by the unearthing, down in Missouri, of one David R. AtcniiiBon, who was eleeted by the senate, in 1853, to flll the office of vicepresideut, vice Wra. R. King, deceased. The Brighton Citizen thus gives the road question a little lift. Wonder how Washtenaw county people like their roads ? "The prees of Michigan is just now agitatingthequestion of public roads, clairaing that their present conditlon is a hindrance to the progress of the etate. Only one of our counties has anything like system in its making of highways. Bay county was bonded for $100,000, and has most excellent roads as a result. The Mount Clement Monitor says that if the people of its county were asked to adopt such a plan, there would be a row among the very farmers whose horses wallow in the müd half the time. We wonder what Livingston county farmers would think of it. In a county like ours, where the nature of the soil renders excellent roads so readlly attainable, it would no doubt be unwise to issue bonds for that purpose, but if some deflnite plan could be adopted, and gradually worked toward completion, the result would be more creditable to the county tban the present condltion of lts hlghway."
