This case lias attracted a ■ fonsklerable ittention and many wltsea íroiii Aun Arbor testified, some laying i had Úeen helped, with all Burrounding property morí' than :d been hort, while others swore I was damaged all tlie way iip to -7.000. E"o many it has b"cn a matter of -surprise that oither party Bhould have 8n the risk and expense oí' a long uit over such a small thing, for the Toad oould have purchased the ground - it a fair prlee, to make a handsome park ol it. but the officials probably i.sired to make a test case of it. "His verdict gives very general sat:etion as a reasonable amount. The sale of the surplus oí the present erop at fair prices will doabtless greatly stimulate wheat production n thls country. The average farm■r will attempt to do this by sowing nore acres. But the prolltable way i!l be to increase the average yield .n-:c hy better farming, lnstead al ■nlarglüg the area sown to whet. -The average yield per acre ol this year's erop 1b estimated at flfteen ihels.

One tning is alwaya noticcable in he business world. when there is conbhere is plenty of money. It s only when the people elect hairined thcorists to the law-making lies th.it capital becomes scared nnd flies to its hldlng places. AVitli assurance o soumi money and no gweeplng changes in the lawa elfectin? trade and eommerce, this country is about entering an era of unexuiipled prosperiiy. The Detroit Tribune glvea thia tlescription of one of Gov. Wlnan's appointees on the pemil board: "The firet man on it is F. F. Palms, of Detroit, ïyIio saw active service in the rebel army. Although born in Detroit, Mr. Palms was brought up in New Orteans, and it is only withln eojnrparatively reeeni times that he bas become aequalnted vith the people of Detroit. Be is a qulet, tnoíJenslve, wealthy man, who knows aa mueh aboul the state ol Michigan as .. -Milis! knowH about unit can aaid in hia favor, hoi tha1 he seems willing to learn." Am luterriew witli a gentleman trom Cleveland, 0., who is a democrat, lead.-i vis to belleve tliat McKlnley is aa suri' to bc elected as the sim is to rige ni monow mornlng. One dozen egge will buy more than two poiinds of sugar; it formerly took two dozen egga to buy one pound ol sugar. The (armera know that the McKlaley l.il etiected tl. is change. The Germana in New York are suppoittng the republtcan state ticket ïn'urtiiv. They have great conildence La Passett, and but little in Flower. They believe iu honost money, also, anú favor a protéctlve tariff. In the island of ('eylon is a tree cuitad the Talipot, which never bloonis but once, and then üics after rlpenlng its fruit. In New Vork there is a Flower that blommed just oucc, in congress, but like the Ceylon tree it w ili iv ver bloom agaiu. At last it looks as It the relgn oi Gov. -Senator Hill was over in New York. The young men of the state nave taken hokl of the campalgn, and the republicana have put vip a yonng man's ticket. It will be the leath kne!l oï the New York dèmocrocy. Should the farmer deinand $1 for TT, oentij worlli oí wheat, or corn, or oats, he woiüd be laughed at would he not ? Yet many farmers are joinlng with the Sllver hark ia his demand that the goVernment shall give him $1 ïor 75 cents worth ol silver. The best authorities state that ivithin the coming year $100,0(10,000 wiU be paid to the farmors of Kansas for their crope and stoek. That imount w iil more tluai pay off uil the farm mortgage indebtednese in that state The ealamlty abrlekers are without a vocation. By a dlapatcb in the dalles of last fhursday, from a New Jersey town, one wOuld have to stop and think whether he was in tlie United Btatea or Rusela, alter reading it. Several Jews were set upon and terribly beaten by a sana; of young ruHlans, simpiy because they were Jews. And this in free America! For sliame! A sound curreney; a sound government; a tariíf that will protect the Americiiii people; reeiprocity witH other American nations; a free ballot for every citizen of the United gtates, and that ballot lairly counteil, constltute the principies of the republiean party. Is there anythlng in tliem that is not rlght and just ? The Campau ï;u-tion of tlu demooratic party in Detroit la having i hard time bo get gome one to run lor mayor in their convention agalnst Vin, (. Thompson. In the mean timi? Thompson keeps right on sawing wond. The Free l'ivss appeare to be in bh ■ Campan ring, and so is Don M.

Tlie jiintri have even gone so far ae to arrest Americans, and it looks ae though a lesson in good marmers would have to be tanght thoae SouthAmiTican liot-head. The pcople of thls country can illy afford to refer to the acts i the RusBlans ;is brutal wln-u Qearly every day's paper cont.iins descriptions of the inhuman deeds eommltted by the white capa in Indiana. It was bad enougb when these midnight cowardfl ra: fiüivl ih insi-lves to whipping men, lmt now thcy have taken to flaylng defenslesa women. Such deeds ave looked upon as barbarouB among hallclvtllzed natione, thcy are simply damnable in thla The authoritios oí that state ought to be able to erush out such outlaws, even if oompelled to cali upon the military tor ascistance. Mr. Edgar i. waKeman, writing from Liverpool lo 1he American Econiraist, tells the following, that every American citizen of whatever politii-al sentiment, ouirht to read: ■Ah. lmt moiicy 'has twice the pur ■ 1 1 ■ s ' 1 1 -.- power' ín Greal prltaln that ir has Ín America," some one remarks. There never v.'.is a erueler political ot other falsehood coined. It is absolutely true that th re is not a human oeed, I lo not say a lnxury, Fhich cannot be as eheaply or more Chenply purchaeed Ín America than in Engeland, barring the one item oí habitation. Th burning fact la that t'.ie lowly of ihla country are forced to live twlce or thrlce as meagerly n ur owr toilers. Hero Capital has with devilish lngenuity, as it may do with us in time if lmmlgration lo not Koon wholesomely regtricted, ascertained tn a farthlng on how little human belnga who la1 or may Ir made to oxisf. and Brltons who "never. never wlll be Blavea," are slavéa of the most hopoloss eharacter from tho eradle to the grave. While the writ-er ivas in Detroit the other day, he gtepped into ;i jrent's fuvnishing store wlth a Wend and overheard one of the clerks laying down hls tarltf Hes to a customer, who was looking at some proorts. rickini? up a pair of fine soeks the eustomer was told the pair were worth fifty cents. "Pretty hish," remarked the would-be buyer. "Yes," was the reply, "you may thank McKiniey for that. That tariff bill of hls adds to the prioe ol every articlc you buy, and the increased prlee kocs into the pockets of the millionaire." l'.viry word of whlch the clork must have knnwn was untruthful, and Baid merely to make political capital. 'J'li-it firra ous'ht to understand tha1 the people are on to the tin peddler racket, and can nol befooleda Becond time. Hound to boom itself- The cartnon.
