The next house of representatives wbich meets on Monday, Dec. 5th, will contain 108 democrats, 15:! republicans and ¦) unknowns. Gen. Jackson deuies tliat he was driink when he delivered his famotis (infamoua) rebel speech at Macón, which we printed a few weeks since, a fact the Arkansas Gazette says it regrets very ímich. "All over the state," remarks the Landing Republican, the snow lies from a foot to two luches in depth." So fur as lilis section is concerned, that editor lies more than the snow. - Adrián Times. Hesr! Hear! The beautiful sn- truth. The Buffalo Commercial, printed at Cleveland's old home, says that he h.is "nterfered unwarraBtably in local elections three times this fall; in Maryland, in New York, and in Massachusetts- in each case In behalf of epoilsmen and against the reformeis." If the Detroit News tells the truth about Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, Mr. Dickinson ougbt not to be made to suffer therefor, had he? If Mr. Diekinson does go into that cabinet - and he will - Michigan will have the honor of furnlshing the bruine of that body at any rate. A kettle of tar was being prepared the other day in the vicinity ot Woodland, Barry county.

J laiilüii has lost hisglory. IiiasoiiHiiifr match at Sidney, New South Wales S itai - day, the stakes being $2,500 and the world's championship, he was defeated by Williara Beacb. This makes the third time Beach lias defeated Hatilan, whieh wiil probably the Canadian. Beach ought to be brave enough now to row a match away froin home, a thing he luis never yet done. In New York the Henry Goorde vote was probably one-half larger thau that of the I'rohibition party. Iii Ohlo there was not very much dillerence, but the Union Labor ticket beat that of the l'rohibitionlsts. In Pennsylvania, on the other hand, the latter jiolled more than twice as many votes as the labor ticket. H is yet an open question which is Uip fuurtli party In the United States. The prohlbition party does not believe la prttctical prohibition. It iights :my attempt at closing in tipon the liquor traflic and by degrees educating the people up to a nobltr and soberer standard. In Ohlo the republican party has closed up 2,092 saloons by the enactment of the Dow law. The prohibition parly ha fought this law tooth and nail, as it flghtl every bit of temperance legitlation in Michigan.
