Editorial Notes

Fearfully and woaderfully made - our legislature. Take care there, Mr. Dago, don't get tob smicy', you may have to be spanked yet. The demócrata are not entirely lorcït . They have Senator ?) Fridlender yei witli them. Tlio democratie victory, which didn'1 materializo last week Monday, will be repeated in November 1892. Germany, beiog torced toletup on the American hog, isnow wreaking hervengeance on the American comic paper, known as Puck. The republican party is daily bcing strengthened, by the people of the nation finding out how republican legislation is benefitting them. Count Lewenhaupt, of Swedeu, who married the daugliter of ex-Secretary Bayard, at Wilmington, Del., ou April '2d, died in that city on Monday last. It is rumored that little Johnie Enright has a whole bucket full of tears saved up that he has wept over Champlin's defeat. It is siuiply a rumor, however. Let's see ! Our present legislature, with a large democratie rnajoritv, was to meet at Lansing, be in session sixty ilays, trausact all neeessary legislation, aud adjourn. That was tour months ago. The lnnian Steamship line will builil two nevv f ast ucean greyhouuds, to coat ♦2,000,000 each, and they will be built in Philadelphia and manned by American seamen, because of republican legislation. ■ " Xow that the legislature of Arkansas has ordered the picture of Washington taken down froin over the speaker's chair, and the picture of Jeii' Davia hung in its place, that state had better secede again, hadn'tshe? It is moved and supportod thut the legislature meet once in six years. All in iavor of the motion say I. i i i i i i i II IIIIIII I IlIIIIIIIiinii! This represents only one wave of the grand chorus. The state is full of thein. During January 1891, the export trade of the United States amounted to $82,522,357, wbich is .$ll,40(,083 greater than the average month of the preceeding year. And all this in spite of the wicked McKinley bill. The U. S. appears to stand well with the "markets of the world" af ter all. Stories of human beings with their hearts on the wrong side have occasionally made their appearance, but Cineinnati comes to the front with one about a man who has his brain placed wrong side foremost in his head. - Evening Xews. That's nothing. He's a democrat, you kumv. The Sist eongress, which has just passed out oí existence, has had to provide for $39,539,251 deficiency, which its democratie predecessor failed to provide for. Of this amount $75,000 was to replace money stolen by Silcott, the democratie sergeant-at-arms. Then there was a deficiency of $25,421,907, to pay the soldiers' pensions ; then there were $14,042,344 worth of ships ordered by the same democratie eongress that they did not provide any pay for. At the same time the republicang are reducing the national debt about a $100,000,000 a year. Jerry Simpson, the sockless Sócrates of medicine lodge, who will represent a part of Kansas, in congress, thanks to the Farmers' Alliance, has a unique plan for issuing money. He says he is not greatly "stuck" on the precious metáis, but to satisfy the unreasoning prejudices of the gold bugs and silver bugs, he would make an estímate of all the gold and silver underground and issue certificates therefor and then forbid the further waste of labor in digging gold and silver. One great advantage of this plan would be, he says, that nobody could steal the deposits upon which the circulation would be based ; whereas, thieves or a foreign foe may break into the treasury vaults and carry off the coin and bullion. This scheme has merit of originality and comprehensiveuess, and is as sane as some other of the alliance project. - Cleveland Leader. $1200 has been given the University Gymnasium fund by the Chicago alumni of the University. The requisite amount having been raised a University playhouse will be built. - Stockbridge Sun. It is such expressions as the above that gives people wrong impressious and wrong ideas. If the gymnasium is simply a "play house," how is it that the alumni of this university in Chicago alone contributed over $1,200 for it? Those gentlemen are among the most practical and best business men of that city, and they would set down on frivolity and nonsense quite as quick as would the editor of the Sun. Having graduated here they know the University's necessity. This is the only university in the country of any note that has not a gymnasium, and the cost is from $80,000 to $300,000 in each instance. The physical training of young people is quite as essential as the intellectual training. In fact in order to have good minds healthy bodies can only be maintained by healthful exercise. Those people who keep constantly assertiug that the boys better take abucksawand saw back for exeerriso will do well '■■ rpinpmber that wood is a Bcarce article in Ann Arhor.
