On April 30th our legialature promised to adjourn. For heaven's sake don't lisappoiut the people. All the bald heads are said to be getAing ready to move out of Minnesota on on account oí the anti-ballet law recently aacted by the legislatura oí tbat state. And still the Italian einigrants are jpourins into this country by the hun4reds every day. Howlong the country an staml it is a sorious question. Perfiaps the Italian government is taking lihis method of jzetting even with U. S. The short speeches of President Harïson in liis sonthern tour remind one ■very much oí the sensible and patriotic wtterauces of this same man during the itryiKz times of his candidacy in 18S8. JHe is a most remarkable man in this respect. Maggie Kohier, the pretty I.ansing Gwruan girl who married Sam Lung a heathen Chinee a few months ago, now ■bewails her foolishness. Mr. Lung has ■dag out, skeedadled, vamoosed, so to spealc, and poor, simple Maggie is a gra-ss widow, and a heathen one at that. A warning to white girls. Jddoe Ghakt carried Michigan in 1889 Ijy 33,000 majority. Where is that ma. jority now ? - Detroit Free Press. In 1883 Judge Champlin carried Michágan by a plurality of 7,506. Where is ithat plurality now? The Grant query "will keep for eight years yet. - Hillsdale Hjeader. Jffelbourne H. Ford, member of con grees from Üie 5th representative disitrict of this state, died at his home in irand Rapids Monday p. rn., haring ■been stricken with apoplexy, superindaced by la grippe. He was bom in Saline, in this county, in 1849, where he flived until ten years of age. He had resided in Grand Rapids since 1873. The republicana haring reforined the rlariff in the interest of American workiingmen, reduced the cost of living, pro"7ided for a large, steady and healthy Hncrease in the currency, enlarging the oension Jaws so as to proride for erery needy soldier and his dependent ones and relieved the supreme courts from bwrdensome delays, can now afford to st&nd back for a year and let the demo■orats kick and tight among themselves. - Detroit Tribune. Hempstead Washburne will be the mayor üf Chicago lor twoyears to come Cespite the miserable trickéry, and cou" temptible rascality of the horde of ballot Lmx stufiers and forgers who atteinpted to count thoir tooi Creiger in. Their job was bigger than they dared to carry . And tor two years to come Chicago will have an honest and just administratiou of its affairs. With Creiger in power, anl the horde of gamblers and thugs at the helm of pólice and other affairs the world's fair would have been a flat failure. Peoiile would not have Iared to go there. ït is said that the huik of Barnum's property will go to Barnuin Seeley, his ■only grandson. Barnum paid taxes on -about f1,000,000 worth of real estáte in hia home city, Bridgeport, Conn. When ha liad, by the accumulation of wealth, pssed all question of financial trouble, fae nsed what his foresight had secured ta him for the benefit of the poor people of Bridgeport. He established the system of building houses and selling them to the working people on long payments and low rates of interest, and hundreds of the pretty residences now owned by the working class in that city were secared through Mr. Barnum's generosity. What fish would you look for in a miil?- The miller's thumb. At the municipal elections held in Montana Monday, the republicana carried everycity in the state with the exception ..i r.uttc. New Zealand, heretofore astrongdemocratic town in Ottawa county, elected the entire republicau ticket at its charter election Tuesday. The stiletto, almost anheard of in America until recently, plays in important pari in tho daily records of mui' Iers in tlüs country. It ought to be banished together witn those who uso it. At the national meeting of Republican League Clubs at Cincinnati yesterday, Hou. E. P. Allen was made chainnan of the delegation. Dr. F. K. Owen, of Ypsilanti was made a raember of the committee on credentials, and Junius E. Beal a meniber of the cornmittee on permanent organization. And now Cuba comes in as the second country whose markets will be opened up to the U. S. under the provisions of the McKinley bill. Tlie West Indian trade wUl be greatly assisted by tliis action. And the McKinley bill goes on convincing and conquering its enemies and benefiting the people. How sad for Detroiters! Her horse cars are tied up. The striking hands are to blaine for it. But transit is just as rapid there now as ever. Alinost anyone can outwalk one of those cars. It might be a good time now for the citizens of that city to strike against the horse car imposition any longer. The lato republican congress will go down in history as the tirst billion dollar congress, let us hope, the last. So enorinous have been the appropriations that few can conceive how great they are. - Argus. Yes, and the greatest appropriations made were to cover deficiencies which the two-penny congress that preceeded it left to be provided for. Please make a note of it, Mr. Arrus. Or would such a statement of the truth prejudice your case ? The citízena of Ypsilanti, irrespective of party, met and agreed upon certain i-harter amendments that were intended to streugthen the law relative to good moráis and good order. And the following dispatch signed by some of the best demócrata in the county, was sent to Gov. Winans : YPSItANTI, Mich., April lS, 1891. ToOovernor Edwin B. Witmns, I.ausitui, Midi.: The amended charter of the city of Ypsilanti, as passed by the House and Senate, is not a party measure, but is the wish of a majority of the best citizens of both parties. We earnestly request you to sign the MIL See petition sunt to-night. Prof. J. M. B. Sili., Philo Ferrier, Chas. E. King, H. M. curtís. W. VV. Worden, D. L. Quirk. K. W. Hemphili., S. H. Dobge, F. I'. B0GARDU3, C. L. YlST, W. H. Hawkixs. J as. R. McKinstby, Chu. Dem. City Com. But John Terns, a democrat and a wealthy saloon-keeper opposed the law, and went to Lansing, and had more influence than all the above honored and respected names, and the Commercial says the amendments are now where they will " lie and lie and die and die," which ought to have made the Commercial man blush when he said it. The Ypsilantian sums up the situation as follows : Mr. Terns is on top. He is the boss, and he will teach the demócrata of Ypsilanti to know it. He has money to go to Lansing and wage his fight, and hire attorneys and agente like Woodruff (little Tully) to help him, and he can afford to spend it in defeating this charter revisión which has for its chief object the increasing of the efficiency of the pólice department. The other party has hard work to raise money to pay the expense of a delegation or a committee, and we question whether it would do any good if they sent their committee with the puissant Terns already there. l'erhaps the committee before whom the bill must go, may prove more independent of the influence of Mr. Terns and the interests he represents, than the enrollment committee and Mr. Lowden have. By all means the effort should be made. It must be contested before the committee, or surrendered, and the result will show whether Mr. Terns or the great majority of the people and the greater rnajority of the worthy people, shall be permanently on top.
