'f lie Adrián Press says: ''Sinith Is missing. He lived Ín Detroit." ütit wben you get to Adrián, you will flnd Smtth tliere all íiht enough. He docs the Press work. Hon. E. P. Alien has been deslgnated to oceupy the speaker's chair in cominittee of tlie who.'e when tlie river atld harbor bilí Ís considered. lie lias a way of niaking himself heard. The democratie merabers of the f u preme eourt, Chief Justlee Fuller and Associate Justices Field and Lámar dissented from the opinión of the United States supreme court in the Mormoii cases. They sustained tlie Mormons. Comme nt i.s not necessary. With the loss of Cox, Randall and Carllsle the democrats are left iu the House with second rate, hot-headed, and sliortsighted leaders like Bynuin, Breckenrldge and Mills, whose repeated "bieiks" keep them and their party In hot water. " Whom tiio gods wish to deslroy they lirst make mad." It may be a very interesting piece of news to know that witbin the past twenty years there have been 328,710 divorces granteü in the United States. While the population bas Incieased GO per cent. in that time, divorces have increased 107 per cent. Is the record one to be proud off Does that record argue well tor the luture of the nation ? Invalida, nervous people nml people who hate a nolse will be úohtjhtcd to learn tliat the erop of Chinese flre-crackera Is about one btlllun short tlils year. We feel attaclied to our country and are ready lf necessary to die, huldlng an offlee in each hand and the üoddess of Liberty in our lap; but we love uot the Infernal cracker, and devoutly hope the Inventor has gone where alone hls (lreworks are excelled.- Adrlau Press. And yet the writer of that paragraph was once a boy, himsell? (Of are we mistaken'? Is he she?) Congresaman Allen has presentad everal petitions slgned by leading farmers in this district asklnj; for the Immedlate passage of the tariffbill. Mr. Allen says this goes to refute the statement that the farmers are free traders, and it coiitradicts Clevelana's pet theory that the farmers made a great mistake in supporting the republican party at the lust election. - Adrián Times. Hillsdale Leader: "Ex-Miyor C. F. Cook was accidentally In Ann Aibor last week and the Argus divlned that he was there fixing eontsressional fences. M:iy be so neighbor, but not for himself. Iu bis own right and as custodian he has lipwards of half a million of dollars to look after, and this alone wouid prevent him from putting in two or tliree months work for the empty honor ol a nomination. A rejmUican will take the eketion in this second district this fall." Tlie cnse of "Buck" Murray, convictcd of the cold blooded murder of Patrolman Sehumaker, n Detroit, 3 to be taken to the supreme court on n writ of error, and it is thought a new trial will be granted, in wliich case the convictcd murderer will doubtless go free. It Ís iust such thlnjís as thls that discourage offlcers lu doing their duty. Here is a notorlous criminal convictcd on excellent evidence of murder, and because of somt technlcality tlie courts proposito let blm free to murder soine one else, probubly. The supreme court muy take the view, liowever, that it is justice the people care lor more than pctty points in law, uid will keep the prisoner w here he can do no more liarin. Most of the agitalion n politlcal circles is upon the govcrnorship, but as tilla couuty and district will bjtve no candidato for the place, tlie question comes up, shall we not have a man on the ticket for some other? We have heard of no one as having been brought forward, but would suggest the name of Col. O. A. Janes, oí' Hlllsdale for auditor-general. He is a popular man in li is county and among those with whom he has been associated, having served two térras as judge of probato, lilled tho positions oL Department Commander of tlie G. A. R., as well as the head of Odd theFellowa. lie liad a fine record in the war, leavin au arm on the battle field. Why should not buch a man be a capital man on the ticket, for such a record counts in a catnpaign ? The republican party takes pride in its soldier constitueney and always says that their reward should come to them. For our part the Coi' kiek nominates Col. Osear A. Jants of Hillsdale for Auditor General.
