Now that we understand the object of the Detroit Tribune in making the republican press of the state "kick," we have nothing more to say until its écheme either hatches or bursts. The authorities at Heidelberg University, Germany, have "set-down" on foot-ball, and eonsequently the studente there can now do nothing worse than ftght duels for past-time and amusement. Philadelphia had an election a few days sinee and chose Edwin K. Stuart inayor by nearly 40,000 majority. Is this a straw showing the returning of political reason to the masses? Will not a reaction from the disaster of last íall come in Michigan next April ? The Southern papers, in but few iustances, have not forgiven Gen. Sherman Sor whipping the confederates in tlie late war, and in their comrnents upon his -death show the gall and venom that still ï-ankles in their anatomy. They have iiot accepted the lost cause as lost. And now the ukase has gone forth to the poor little messenger boys in the legislature that they must contribute 310 a piece to the democratie campaigu fund '. And this from the party of reform ! But what more could you expect from a party that would deliberately steal two seats in the senate ? Oh ! Keform '. thy name is not democracy. The democrats will make their steal of the two senatorial seats occupied by republicans hold; but the people of Michigan, regardless of party, will not it idly by and allow such a political attrocity without protest. When the voters of this state come to pass judgment upon that sort of dishonesty the democratie party will probably wish its leaders had been honest men. 'The spirit of advancement so long ago adopted by the University of Michigan has at last struck Europe, and now it is announced that the University of Leipgic has opened its doors to women. There are 3,300 students there this year and six of them are women, four of the six being American girls. Eastward the advancement and civilization of the jrreat west takes its course. Michigan congratulates Leipsic. The democrats in Congress have almost unanimously voted for free silver coinage. The democrats composing a majority of the Wisconsin legislature have just as imauimously voted in favor of a sound currency and against free coinage. Mr. Cleveland also favors the republican principie of a sound curren■cy, and so does Senator-elect Vilas, while ex-Secretary Don M. Dickinson is said to free coinage of silver. Oh, ves! all ia luirmony in the democratie ranks. The contemptible manner in wliich fehe democratie senate treated the proffcest of the Patrons of Induatry and Farmers' Alliance, against the dishoneaty and fraud perpetrated by that body ia stealing two seats, shows how much the democracy care for them. As long as the democrats can use them as catspaws the Patrons are nice fellows, but when a protest comes from them against dishonesty, fraud and eorruption, then the democrats slap their farmer allies directly iu the face and teil them to go to. Rhode Island elected a democrat to to congress tlast Saturday by 5,600 majority. - Argus. Now will the Argus have the fairness to teil the rest of the story? Teil the people please that no one run against this democrat, and tliat the democratie legislature in that state called the election on Saturday for the purpose of disfranchising over one-third of the voters in the district who were adventists and republicans, and who would not go to the polls on that day, and so the republican candidato withdrew. It was the same spirit that actuated the theft at Lansing, and seems to actúate that party -wherever it gets even a littlo holp of power. The Argus did not note either, that the republicans elected their mayor in Philadelphia recently by upwards of 40,000 majority.
