That The Democratic Party Should

ehoose Heiiry George as an exponent ef llM'ir theories of f ree trade and f ree fci.lver, is perfectly proper. His writingfs are all theoretïcal. He is a deüightful dreamer, but tlxere is not nor BKAr was auything practical about the man. He ib a brilliant -visionary who lias a good command of lan(uago, and never j'et advocatod a (principie that was practical from his teingple tax theory up to his free trade theories. By all means let the dem(ocratic mombers of congreas print his speeches ajud circuíate them at pubïic expense if 'they desirc to. They coxüd mot choose a more appropriate author. A regular little devil- The imp. Comdemned to dealh- Ixbsters. A blamed nuisance - The streets. "Many men of many niinds" - Juries. Caught at the knees- Bagged troueers. Only one couple in 11,500 live to celébrate thcir diamond wedding1. It iea't the fear of God but the ïear of the devil that makes a g-ood inany ■pcople religious. Much is said in favor of love in .1 Cottage, but the fact is love is an excellent anywhere. A bilí is before the Emgllsh paxliaïnont making bete irrecoverable ia a iwurt of law. It is a late day for such a bilí, but bettcr late than never. Glasgow, Scotlaod, has an industrial borne whiTo woinen who have come out of prison get a home provided for them and where they are employed in laundry work and receive 'payment. Senator Woolcott, of Colorado ,is n. torJXte fresh yet. He will undoubtediy rain wisdom and discretlon witb years. Hi.s critieism of the president ín a speech in the senate reeently reminde ome of a little poodle barking Mt i Bt. Bernnrd. Harry A. Comniit, of Monroe, and Dr. A. W. Smlth, oí Lemaweej are membere of the republlcan state central eommittee for this district. Senator McMHUan was re-elected chairtaen of the state central committee, ml lias accepted the same. The r'iibi-.'an committee for this tongreeeionaa district, is composed of followlng named gentlemen: AliH'i't Siiii', di Jackson; Adolf Wheeltjr. of Lenawee; Dr. P. K. Owen, of Wasliteaiaw; II. H.

The idea of having all the school chiidicu in the Dntted States approprtately celébrate tlie four hundredth iimici-sar.v of the discovery of Amerca liy Christopher Columbus, October 11'. 1S92, is vrorthy of adoption. by all iiuans let the children observe the day. It ds asserted that men avIio wear Sao beards, but go abont the world M'itli ï'lean Bhaven faces, are less liable to 'In grippe thau. thosse wlio allow their baarde to grow. It wlll be 110ticed that both Hill and Cleveland v.-ear no beard. But they are quite liable in be caught in the grip of deifat, aeve-rthelese. Detroit Tribune of April 14th: Honorable J. T. Jacobs, of Ann Arbor, vas one of many who was saying a góöd word yeeterday on every occasion for Fred A. Maynard for attorïey-general. "He was boni in our town," he said, "and I should be very mueh aetonished; if he failed to ;et th" solid vote of our delegation." The passage by the house, of the blU placing cotton ties and eotton tagging on the f ree list, is but a revival of the. oíd southern idea that 'Cotton is Ivimg." The repnblican dea of legisla lion eontaine no kings, ill are free and equal to enjoy the reSults of the statesmansliip that has nade this the most prosperous counr. OU i'arth. The parsonage of the Congregational ehurch, at Epping, N. H., which ■was occupied by the Rev. W. I'. Clancy, "was lrarned on the llth inst., in reireage for the clergyman's crusade ugainst the liquor traffic in that town. An nnnonymous wrlter liad recenty thipeatened t-o burn the parsonage Jf the church did not dismiss iMr. Clancy. Such dastardly deeda frtreagthen the church. "Khode Island ís a Tery gmall state, ünd doean't amount to mueh, anyway," iií the nonchalant marnier of the Clevela.ñdites in conversing about the late electitm in that Btate. Betore election, however, it was large ■inougli to rush Mr. Cleveland and 11 th eothear big guns toto, in the liope KA carrying it. It shrunk quick after Xhe people decided ior American inhistries, and for an honest and sound currency. The Clevela-nd demócrata protest agalnet Hill's anethods, but ovcry imother's son of them keep right on partaki.n!; the fruits of Hill's disreput u bic work im the New York legislature. Is not the partaker as bad. as the thief ? If these democrats were sincere in their protests, would they bot endeavor to righ-t the wrong Mr. HUI accomplished ? Or is their talk inerely bluster to kill off Hill's presidential boom ? The active pen of the Argus' local Teferring to the little ghost story in last week'a Courier, denies that either the Argus edi-tor or the Register editor are afraid of Beal or Allen. Bl88 your eyes, no one accused them of such a thinig. The Btory was told Rmiply as a story, mothing else. The application made by the Argus was purely gratuitous. But some way the mention of Allen's name threw the iArgus into another spasm, and you tan iairly feel its teeth chatter in readiing the closing eentences of his u-ticto. The man who wieMs the quill for the Dexter Leader has this very sensible short talk on the new election l;iv tuid lts requirements: "The ability of the voter to read and write will probably be a require,ment of the law in the near future. Such a law is abnost a neceseity with the present system of voting. That clause ira the present law which allows a voter to be accompanied and assisted, where he is unable to read and iwrlte, seems to deleat the very object the excellent new voting law seeks to accomplish. Th egreat presidentiial election is close at hand, and the ■peoplc of our state will of course Urave to vote unider the present system. But there is amother view to take of this, our present system of ■vatinir. AVould it not promote intelli.nvnce to require every man to vote without assista.nce, thereby robbing Mm, of his vote if he lacked the capacIty to properly arrange his ballot? Tbeee av tbougbte which should be duly comsklered by the people of our Btate Ix-fore the next meeting of the legielature."
