Who Next

There is no doubt but if our citzenB will make the right kind of an effort, and come down liberally with the cash, they can secure the location of the car shops of the Teledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan road. There is no time to be lost. Edward A. Gott will be one of a hundred persons to give $100 or $150, and more if necessary, toward a bonus for the shops. Joe T. Jacobs will do the same. Now, fall iuto line in the above manner, and give our city a send off. Wüose name shall be added to the list next week? Our citizens should cali a meeting and appoint a oommittee of gentlemen who will labor with only one object, viz: the euccess of the enterprise. Who will be the firet to act in the matter, for now is the accepted time? ■ i ■ John B. Goügh, the great temperanoe advocate, died yesterday. In his death America has lost her greatest temperance orator. Connecticdt has a law similar to ours against selling liquor to minors, but the supreme court of that state has decided that selling liquor to a minor sent to purchase it by an adult, to be used by an nclult and pnid for by on ndnlt, io uul selling to a minor iii the intent of the law. Selling to a minor in the meaning of the law is where the minor buys it for his own use. 80 says the supreme court nt ti.A nntmec state. There is no telling wnat our supreme courc imgm. ucuui a similar case. It once decided that Charles Kitsen's saloon in this city was a restaurant, although the evidence showed that there was never a mouthful of eatables sold in thu establishment. As the law then stood it was necessary to cali his place of business something besides a saloon, so the supreme court decided to cali it a resturant. The death of Horatio Sevmour at his home in New York, the other day, removes f rom the stage one of the most prominent of the olden statesmen of the country. His first appearance in public was during the administration of John Quincy Adams when a boy. He always looked back to that day as one of the proudest and most inspiring of his life when be Bat on the table of president Adams' surrounded by such men as Clay, Webster, Calhoun, and Crawford. From tbat day to this Horatio Seymour has been more or less before the public. In the midst of temptation which has swamped hundreds of others he has maintained a character without reproach. He was upright, charitable, kind and generous. He lived a long and active life without doing a mean or dishonorable act, and died without an enemy in the world. He was a life-long democrat and in bis death the party looaes one of its most illustrcms leaders. At no distant day the Michigan Central road must have a new passenger house in this city. That one is very much needed no one will deny. Some weeks ago a committee was appointec by mayor Kapp to confer with the railroad officials who had certain propaitions to advance to tlie citizens. Tbat committee met engineer Hawka Saturday wbo presented plana for a depot building forty by one hundred feet, to be rïTistmtAfl nf 'hflrrl Vioaío,M oímil., to the stone used in several of our churches. It is proposed to lócate the building one block east of present site, near the old Hooper brewery. The company is also desirous of bridging their track on Detroit street, but they want the city to dónate five thouaand dollars towarda the improvements. Some persons feel that if the company will lay out twenty-five orthirty thousand dollars, apan Detroit street with an iron bridge, and do the necossary gradinft it would öênxtöb íídmonds has been trying for a few jears to pose as a atateaman, and for that reaaon he has become aomewhat unpopular with the republican party. But he has got the preaidentiai bee in hia ear and is now trying to make himself sohd with the hidebound membera of his party by picking up a quarrel with the president. He demanda that the president ahall give his private reasons for removing republicana f rom office that the senate may consider them in secret session. The president will do no such thmg. He insista that he has the same right to demand that senators ahall give him their private reaaona for their oflieial action aa they have to demand hia. The President has no objectiou to furnishing all the informativa in his poBsession provided the aenate wishes to uae it in open session, but he beueves tuat the public has no interest and oan secure no advantage in a secret investigahoD of his oilicial actioa. Edmunda can never be president. Blaine, whom he betrayed last year, will cook his goose when the time comea. Cleveland is quoled aa aaying: "I have tried io be true to my own pledges and the pledges of my party. We both promited to divorce the offices of the country from being uaed for party services. I have held to my promise, and I menu to hold to it. I did not propose to hold party service in the past in the democratie ranks as againat a man. On the contrary, it gave him a strong, equitable claim to office. He had been excluded tor twenty-four year beoauee he was a democrat. He should be remembered for the same reason when a democratie administraron c;.me into power, provided he was a competent man for the position to be filled. What I understand by eivil service reform, as I am carrying it out, is that officeholdersshall be divorced from politica while they fiU iheir positions under this government. That rule I have meant to stand by. By remováis Lrom office, such as are made, are made for cause. It would be absurd for me to undertake to give the oountry my reasons in all cases, because it would be impracticable. When I have removed a republican for political reasons, or for any other reason, I would apply the same rule to my own party.
