Grover Cleveland is now at Cape 'Col. He ahvays was Bomethlng of a cod. By the way railroade are beginniog to eut rates, it looks very much as t'houali Detroit would have a million or so at the G. A. Iï. oncampment iiext week. Wben a journalist is reduced to applying vlle epitheta to a brother journalist, he has reached a uit iful condltion, Indeed. This refers to the Ypsilanti Sentinel. Recent election.s in England denote that the people of that country are iigain turning to the grand old man, Gladstone, for leadership. He towers :a.bove all others in Englaiwl. The Russians continue to peraecate the Jews, and the Jews continue to ïlee f rom that tyrannical country. The day is sure to come when Russia will receive punishment for her inhuma nity. ir is sugi;-sted that the boards of lection ought to hold schools of instruction, before election time, to get the voters aequnintrd wlth their duties if tli'ey propose to vote at the next -■eJection. Hinry M. Stanley, the cxplorer, "Aas met with a serioua accident by tie fracture of the thigih bone of his left leg, wille climbing a mountain in Owitzerland. Later reports eay it was not serious. The republic of France and the despotic monarchy of Russia with hands lasped, each agreeing to defend the other in the event of war is a singular picture that Europe presents to . fche world just at present. A syndicate, wtth Gov. "Waller, -of Connecticut, at the head, has purli.ised the Detroit city railway proprty and franchises, and will at once cJiange the motive powor from Jiorse ■ to electricity. Detroit should rejoice. Air: Tiow it is assertedithat she wlio is knoun to the world as Sara Iicrnhardt, "the divine Sara," is an American by birth, of Frenen .lew extraction, and that her real name is Sarah ■ Ivinr M'bether a King or a queem-, Sara is ahvays a trump. fften men fail in other vocations they then take to tilling the soil to makc a Bubalstence. Kill off the Industries of America by free trade, and eee how quick thousands of idle men wouhl Beek farming for a living thus becoming competitors with those who are engaged in that industry. i "Tile governor of Minnesota deservea tíio commendation of all the good pwple oí thla nat ion for his Bucceesful fíforts in stopping the Fitzsimmoais- Ifiail prize fight. l'ublic exhibitions óf br.ntality are against good moráis and tire welfare of the people, even ixtgh huuiau brutes may take deTigti.t in ttaem. It is related oí Moody, the evangelist, that he was sittin in his family ■carriat;? at tlie Northfleld station rec-ently as a train caine in. A stranger, ïnistakini; hira for a hackman, ordered htm, witli some show of aiithority, to drive to a hotel, and without a word oí .imjent, tl'ft great )n-.ac-]i,T diil vtr tve vas bidden. HepefuseiliptUiifco any 1ay Ior jas services, koswr, and tbla excited the curiosity the man, wlio appeaxs to have been . jnlnlster. He was dumfounded to learn that the liaekman, to wiiom he had a'.so made free comments on Mr. Moody's work in course of the drive, was no.ne other than the evangelist lücself.- Sprinsfield (Mass.) Republi■can. I mi a profceetkmist becauee our iiu-y has prosperad with protection and languished without it. Because reverme can more easily, more surely and witlh lcss objection. . {? ralsed by judicious protective tarifl laiwe than otherwlse. Beeause protection dlverslllee employnuTit and largely relieves wage?arners frnm foreign corapetition, thereby onabling them to be liberal tonsiimors as well íis producers. , Beeause, as lias been demonstrated tbe effect of protection is cheap■ning of producís. ,.'.., -i agatast injurious im portatirns la ftS ncfcssary and Justiíl able as is an army and navy. Beeanse ttoe tbeory of free tratU be.twcen naiiims is íallacious, imprac ücsble and utterly absurd as ís that of ín-i1 love betwewi families.- I!. T Jones. Eyctv city, village, to-wnehip and ward in every county in Michigan ought to have it live republlcan club. In tree trade Englatnd t hc pauper populatlon is one to every 88 persons. Tiiat's what free trade would brlng to the ü. 8. It would srem as Miouirh Ann Arbor people woulil havo Bufficient prlde not to let Ypsilantl forge a.head of them in this important matter of snvcrage. Tf the republiean party deslres to succecd in tliis stnte it is time it woke up and oommenced to revive and infuse some life into its clubs and organlzatloDB. Tlvo McKlnley bill hne been in operatinn for a loug tinw now, and the country is not on tbc ragged edge of ruin yot. Democratie predictions, as usual, are at fault. It is amuslng to see the oíd Detroit Free Press attempt to keep up wtfch the rejuvenated Detroit Tribune. It mlght as well give up the contest for the Tribune galns on it every day. In Georsia a law has been enacted inakintt it nn oïfense wlth heavy penalty lor ;i man in the habit of gptting lrun'k to ppactice medicine. If tliat law shall lx' enforced, it vill be a good 1 1 ii n n . SocklesB Jerry and Long Halred Pletter- both .'rom Kansas- aro to do t.lu-ir level best to carry Ohio for the dvmocrat.s. and for the free trade and free coinage lunacy. They are showing the cloven foot early. Gov. Campbell says that aftcr the eanvass is two weeks nld nothing ontside of fhe tariff wlll be heard in Ohio. The X. Y. Sun s.-iys ii tli,-it is so it predlcts that atter the canvass is IS weeks old Gov. Campbell wlll not be heard of. AVhonever a man beeomes prominent as a crank on any subject, the next ttolng you hear of him is in the democratie party. Thnt political organization draws them in just as snre as molasses does the fly. The latest tnsbances are poor Jerry Simpson and old man Pfeffer. Senator Pfeffer had the wires all laid for the presidential nomination by the alliance party before he Bod out to the Ohio democratsfor so much a speech. AVhat he wlB do now, has mot been determined. Of course he enn't be an alliance candidato and a llfemiocratic wind bas at one and the samie time, can he? While Grover Cleveland was searehing the dictionary for verbiage wherevith to astonish the Cape Codders, Governor Hill, also senator from New York, captured the Erie county machine, and will consequently control the delegation to the national convention from Cleveland's old home. Mr. Hill is evidently a gentleman who geta up in the morning betimes.- Detroit Tribune. The Economist says: "How does it come that you are selling all wool 5-ouneo ilanncls at 20 cents this year when you eharged me 21 1-2 ciMits last year?" lnquired a South Bend dry goods merchant of a commercial travler for a Kcntucky woolen mili. 'Didn't you teil melast year that flannel would be hisher tliis year on account of the McKinley bill and didnot I teil you you were a cross-UarretVall-wool flannel Har? TVhat have you got to say for yourwlf?" The commercial traveler could aay nothing except tbat the price was 20 cents with 2 per cent. off for cash, instead oí 21 1-2 cenr.s net. The merchant bought several bolts and thanked hls i.irs that he had put no faith in the MeKinley li.u-s last (all. The farmers' alliance in Minnesota is in a bad way, awlng, it is alleged, to the perpetraticm of an outrageous SAvindle by several of the leaders. For a year or two members have been furnithed througb the alliance, with farmlng inipliiiieiits. binding twine, etc., at a snppoeed reöuctlon in prlce. The greatesrt sa%'ing -w-as to be effectort on binding bwlne. Allianee traders have bought a Cheap article of sisal trwine and had it colored the color of purp manilla, the best twine in the mnrket. The twine thus colored was branded manilla, and sold for t'.iar article. glving the seller avery large margin. It Is stated that $l-"i,000 hns been made out of the swlndle thns worked upon the unsuspeeting piirchasers. The farmers are vcry Indignant and there is probability that the whole fabric of the alliance wlll uccumb in the storm that has been aised. Why Hou. B. W. Perklns, ex-conresgmaai trom Kansas, is a protectionisr is toY'.u as lollows: Becanse I am an American. Wc should have free trrule among ourselves because v hmior one flag and are citizens of a common country. But the man rn-ho -builds no houses herc. paya no taxes here, -who d.oes nothing to contribute to onr lirowth and to our irosperlty; but who lives abroad vond th-e oceans. Wbence he desires to fortog Ma productB, either farm or naauiactured, Into this great American market in competition wit ours - he should pay for the privileges; nmd wlien lie has payed for the privileges ivo -vill cover thp money into i tra breaaury of the United States, and wlth it we will cancel our obligations and carry on the concerns of government. And I wtmld do this in the name of patriotism and ray country beeause I belleve it rigfat."
