Editorial Notes

Il .vuukl be a fine thing for tbe noi th to be boycotted by the Louisana Iottery. The U. S. Senate baa resolved to work geven hours a day now, and push leglslation. Sensible resol ve. Prof. Peters, the aatronomer of HanJlton College, wlio made hlmself famous by the discovery of asteriods, 47 in number, Is dead, aged 77. The Adrián Press should send its tympathy to the masa meeting folks t Shtffield, (Eng.), who gathered in great Dtimbert so fight the McKinley tarilï bill. Was tliere ever a períod in the history of tlie world, when the cry of "hard times" did not oxlsl ! No matter how comfortahle and prosperous a peoplc muy be tliere are always plenty to growl. The Patrons of Indnstry at their convent ion in Lansing yesterday, resolved by a vote of 54 to 38 to place an entire separate state, congression al and legislativo ticket in tne field. Good by P. I. If Congress passes a law that wlll wipe out the Lousiana lottery, tliere will be many more dollars lef t in many Northern homes. The cry of hard times on many farms will also be rendercd less neecssary. Is it right for Georgia to send her representativos to Congress with only 6,000 or 8,000 votes back of each one of them while in Michigan lt takes about 40,000 votes to each representativo ? Respectf ully referred to the Adrián Press. Is it not right that every man entitlcd to a vote in thls country should have the privilege of casting that rote, and of having It counted? If it is right Is it not always expedlent to do right? Respectfully referred to the Adrián Press. Michigan railroads make a good showing. Their earning in this state f rom Jan. Ist to June l8t, 1890, were $35,582,320 against $30,869,358 for the same period last year. An increase of over 15 per cent. That looks very mucli as If the country was prosperous. The foreign importe to a man, are in favor of free trade. And so are the foreign manufactures. It is perfectly natural that they should be. But how any American cltizen who believes in the wellfare of the entire American people can be a free trader, is a mystery. It is quite amusing to read the Canadian and foreign letters in the Detroit Evening News, protestlng and "kicking" against the American tariff. One from Ottowa told how the lumber business of Canada would boom if the iniquitous United States tariff was only done away with. If Detroit could rid her government of of the dominancy of indlcted aldermen to run her affaire ; could abollsh her rapid transit "hoss" cara; and could secure decent pavements for her streets, she would be quite a city. Until tliose three things can be done alie will have to wallow in the quugmire of inocuous desuetude. The Detroit Tribune of last Sunday published reports of seventeeu banks doing business in that city, the combined deposits of which were nearly $30,000,000. Two-thirds of these deposits were in the Savings departments. That is not a bad showing for a city of 200,000 inhabitants. A Caro bucbelor advertised for a wife. A typographical error changetl his age from thirty-seven to elghty-seven, but it made no difference, for he recelved two liumlieil and tifty applicutlons from ladies ranglng from the age ot' sixteen to slxty, and all promising love and devotion for the rest of his existence. - Caro Deinocrat. All quiet in SoutU Carolina. To be sure the candidato for governor of tliat state on the Farmer's Alliance ticket dared nut speak at a mass meeting, because he was informed if he dld tbat he would be shot. But then, tliat's notliiog much. Tbings must be kept democratie, and thig man was getting too popular. He must be quieted. Wlien Mr. Manning was secretary of the treasury he advocated not only the repeal of the silver law, but lie went still farther and favored the retlrlng of the greenbacks also, virtually making gold the standard of the circulatlr.g medium. And Grover Cleveland, then president of the United States, favored Manning's plan How stands Grover now f All quiet In Mlssiasippi. F. M. D. Cook, a republican, who had the temerity to allo w his name to run as a republican, for the constitutlonal convention was shot by men concealed in a school house as he was riding by. But then, that was nothing. A republican bas no rights down there that the democrats are bound to respect. And everything must be kept quiet some way. Letssee! Didn't the south try to boycott the north along about 1861 ? General Gordon, of Georgia, probably remembera the time. The attempt was not very suc. cessful. It will not succeed now any better than then. But the proposition to attempt lt shows how the same oíd spirit predoralnates in that sectlon, and shows wby it is necessary that a solid Xorth should meet a solid South. "Regular free trader. That U wliat Mr. Blalne la tampiDg hlmself."- Detroit KvonInc Newa. When the News gets so it can preach the same sort of free trade doctrine that Mr. Blaine preaches, lt will give its readers far better Ideas than it does now on the tariff questlon. It will begin to preach America for Americans, instead of America for all the rest of the world except Americans. The New York City journals that carping away at Chicngo over the world's fair, will improve tlieir tempers and fame by shutting up. They should turn In and help Chicago, not try to drag her down. Chicago Is almost as large as New York, and many times more energetic and enterprlsing. Some day New York will have a world'i fair, and then she can have an opportunity to show her greatness. Shame upon such petty jealousy. General Grant, at Warren, Ohlo, on the 28th day ot September, 1880, made the followlng remarks, which could almost be construed as referrlng to the Federal electlon bill : "I am a Republican, as the two great partid are now di vidcd, becnuse the Republican party is a national party, seekIng the greatest good for the greatest iiiiinberof cltizeui. There is not a precinct In tlüs vast natlon where a Deinocrat ciiriiiot cast his vote and have it counted as cast. No matter what the prominenceof tlie opposlte party, he can proclaim his political opinions, eveu if he is only one among tbe thousand, without t'ear and without proscription on account of his opinión. There are fonrteen States, and localities In some otber States, where Republicana have not tuis privilege."
