Editorial Notes

Geo. W. Perry, of the Bellevuc, Enton connty, Gazette, who bas heretofore publisbed an independent paper, comes out for Hurrlson and Morton without any fs nor ands. Postmaster Stearns, of Adrián, as a candidate for congress will be apt to display some "perniclous political activity,'' civil se rvice reform to the contrary no'withstanding. Ask Gov. Befrole why be changed lila mind ana did not appoint Willard Stearns as onc of the Board of Control for the Stilte Industi il School for girls at Adrián. He will be man enougb to teil yon truly. Senator Beek defends theextravaganeo oí tlie government. Itis without defen-e. Why don't the proper authorities pay ofl tbe national debt witb the rarpllM? Honest men pav their debts when they have the money to pay wlth. Tlie claim is made that Mr. Clevel-md is a man of great moral courage, yet he did not veto the river and harbor bil], and would not sign it. Therefore it becarne a law witliout Lis signatura. That vas notveiy brave, was it? George Washington waa iiiMiiurated ju . -i It'n t March 4th 1789 Benjamin Ilari-ison will he inauijurated president Mareli 4th, 1889- just 100 years intervening; and 48 years laterrenllif between Gen. Win. lïenry Harrison and Gen. Hen j. Harrisou. The so-calleri speeches of "The old Homan" on bis "tower" from Ohio to Port Hurón denote the decaying of a once grand intellect. His remark tbat "it wa pleasing that so many shoukl turn out to see an old feller like hiin," betokens the advanced but honorable period of cbildishness. If there ure more savings of labortng men in the banks of the state of Massachii-etts alone, tban tbere 9 in all the banks of Enjdaml, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to the credit of their workinjrmi'n, bow about our changing to their commercial and lUcal policy ? Do you want to do it ? Tbe Detroit base ball players sbould be paid according to the playing they did when thty lost some 18 straight gaines. It was a contemptlble piece of business on their part, and no amount of jroo playinjr now can put them back wher they formerly stood in the estimation o the public. Talk of reducing tbe revenue! Wliv there will only be $19,000,000 surplus ïn the trea3urv at tbe end of this year, am one more 3-ear of democratie rule wil wipe eren that out, and leave the treas ury 8tranded again as it was in 1860 wheD the democrat8 went out of power. A surplus doesn't last long with that party We do not beiieve in "vvaving the bloody shirt" and keeping: up a constan irritation between tbe different section of the country; but when it require 34,000 votes to elect a representative to congress from Michigan and only 1,700 votes to elect one from Georjfia, the people of Michigan have a right to discuss the matter. - Mpena Pioneer. How proud Messrs. Manly and Scliul must have been when Willard Stearns held them up before the public gnze as he did. "Major General Manly" in his rijrht hand to prove that the soldiers were anxious for him (Stearns) to ride into Congress over their backs ; and " Major General Schub" In his left hand, " oommanding the solid Germán vote," greedy to run him (Stearns) into congress on "the local option route.'' How taffy-likc the secne ! How the underpininof is knocked oul frnm tlie the democrats! Tliey stakcii everything on the free trade Mills bill. The on ly excuse for that bill was the large surplus, aml now tlio democratie idmimstration has been so exliavajrant umi wasteful of public montes that the surplus bas dwindled down to less tlian ten millions. Cleveland's itdministration has cost the country f95,000,000 more tlian Arthur's. How is that for democratie cconoiny, and on wh-it have the}" now to stand ? Mr. Hlatne (lid a very silly thlng when he defended truNts.- KegUter. Had he ever defended trusts, t would have been indeed veiy silly. Uut he never has uttered a word in thelr datante and no person or paper can produce any defeníe of tliem by liiin. He denied the false statement that trusts are the result of the tarill", and statvd tlmt they were private nft'ulrs, and that is truc. Hepublioan papers are not doing commendable vvork for their party when they quote and give credence to democratie falsehoods. The general apathy of the lat prohibition county convention and itssmiill attendance shows that it is bezinning to iliiwn upon the infatuated that they have hut little more to live for as n party. Tüe barnlag ciupstion of protection to American industries overshadows all olhers, when only two votes íh the U. S Senate stand between our present progperity and the general ruin the Mills bill would occasion to all our Industries. It is too 'narro w a marfrin to tamper with. The prohlbltlon party is not existin; for temperaooe but is simply one of organlzed hatredto the republicans, and sucli malevolcnt feelins alone cannot bind men toKt'ther. TbeD, too, the capture of the party by the woman sufiragists dlsjrusts iiiany, as but few are prepared for eyery woman to vote, not even the sensible women.
