That's It Exactly

For the last few weeks there have bt-en two lady milliners stopping at one oi' the hotels in thë city tor the purposse of doiug business in Ann Arln r. They go trom house to house BOliciting work, cbarging small price ior new goodB and lor making over hftta, txmneta, ete. From some ladics the suceeeded in getting work, but whether they gave satisfaetion or not is not known. Feeliing somewhat lntereeted to know if these miliaers paid a license to do business in Ann Arbor, I made inqoiry and found they did not. Now is it right for lor strangers to come into the city and take from our home milliners, who pay taxies, who patronize our merchante, our markets, etc., etc., what rightfully belongs to them? It certainly doee not and the first thing our city fatbjöre should do is to pass an ordinance proecting home industries. If a person is to come here lor a few days and piek up all the money he can in selling merchandlse, he ghould be obliged to pay a 11cenge and a big one, too. The ladies who patronized these strange milliners, in my opinión, ouglit not to have done so, as there are so many ladiis in Ann Arbor engaiged in the millinery business who do good work U reasonable irií-es and always glve aatisíaetion. Patronijte your own towns people. Tliis is the way to build np a town.- Ann Arbor Demoerat. The Democrat is advocating republtean principies. It botter look out. The democratie platform, wliich the peopïe have just ratl'tted, asserts that ;'protection is unconstltutional." All barriera should be torn down. The wholc world should be invited in to our choice markets, and money ld te sent abroad to foster toreign industries and pay ïoreign workmen, instead of our own. l! is aetonishing that the Demoeiai should advocate suchi undemocratic ideas. It is the republican party that belicves that our home markets should be protected, that America is for Amerieans, and that those who come írom abroad should be made to pay for the privilege of trading; here. The repuhlicans of Livingston county have do.ne nobly,. They ha,ve re(iicmeil the coumty a-nd eleeted the ent re repuMican ticliet With one exeeptlooi. And even Ohio came in and registerd a vote for the people's choice. - 'Argus. That item was Hke many others Irom the same source: premature. A pure and busines.s-like administratiqn iloos not soom to count with the people. . Editor Chas. A. Dana has loen heroica lly roscued from "negro domination." The wny the demócrata are jumping hito the band-wagon now is maktqg it very dangeroutí for the springs. The jÉuawlnick lcg-islature and the theftL'natorial seats by the democraEi; pirty lias been rebuked in this state, a$ it deserved. Itevíjam Jones says that the way to be a CliriBtian is "to keep your mouth Bhut." Uut the Rev. Sam fails in preaehing wliat he preaches. ■Vlio daré qviestion ïanimany Ilall's democracy now? - Mt.

Grover Cleveland intends to be a icmservative man, bnt he wlll have liis hands íull with the cranka and visionaries who have bern choscn to the lionsi' and senate. Tli e fijílit for postoffioes and federal appointments is on in every little lramlet in the country. It is f un for the republicana to watch the hustliiig, even now, before the result has been falrly announeed. The Úourlcr i receiving the attention of its democratie contemporarics not only in this eounty, but in many sections. This is Our democratie brethren are not of the kind who strike at uothing. The republiean party is proud of tuis fact. There is not oue act of President Harrlson's adniinistration tlmt they would change if thoy could. It hs 'been honest, pure, clean, upright. No president ever gave a better one. Hurrali for Haj-rison! The iK'ople do njt kiiow how to let well enough alone. They never had i ltctter president thau Harrison, and neier will have. APter all, it is the lappadoodle politician, of the "you are a liar" eort, that appears to jake with the majority. The populista and pro-hibs who are iyleefully announcing the desintegrat ion i the rt'pu'bliean party are ehasiiifi rnralioivB. The republican party ïaa not ended its miission. There are vital quietrttonfi yet to le Bettled in tlvis country and settled aright And ihc republioan party will be ealled upin to isettle them. "We shall have the government now for ,a Imindred years," was the reaark of a firey southerner the other lay at "Washington. And Senator ftiJMUackburn, of Kentueky, says: "Í he democratie party wlll never stay is hmuls untü evcry vestige of war oglslntion is wiped dut." Same people do not know when they kre well olí. The la boring men who vioted to elect Cleveland, and forcé tree tra.de, or even a. revenue reform upooi this country havo eoïnmitted isulcide as lar as their interest are Ooincerned- that is if Mr. Cleveland and his party dare legislate on the ine oí their party's platform. When northern republicans can go nto any of the 6outhern states and speak their views freely, the same as Southern demoerats do at present throuighout the north; when the balot of every southern citizen shall be counied as cast the same as it is in the northern states; when every citizen entitled to the ballot shall be as free to cast it throughout every state n this unión as he is inMichlgan; then ind not till then, wlll the republlcan party have ended its mission. The splendid repnbliean victory in tliia state is something for the party to teel proud over. It is the grandest victory since the days of Zach Chandler. Altliougli the party workers all over Michigan are entitled to praise, yet to the head and its excellent management is d-ue a great deal of credit. Senator McMillan, as chairman of the tate central committee deserves the congratulations of the party. He has been an indefatigable worker, a systematic organizer, a fearlees pusher, and to him is due mu-li of the praise for victory. And we belleve that the rank and file of the repnbliean party throughout the state will all join in giving him three ronsing cheers. The democratie party has profited by the immense influx of foreign imnisration. In nmny places in this country besides New York and Chicago these people are made voters almost as soon as they have landed, land every one of them vote the democratie ticket. They have 110 more idea of this government than a Tamniaiiy polltidan lias o!' religión, and white the sélleme may be considered a hrewd one, it is a dangerous one to the liberties of the republic. The law is leinent euough and should be olieyed. llie truth is, foreigners ottght to remain liere as long as native born citizens before being allowed to vote. There is no reason why partiality ehould "be shown in this reBpeet to a person who is imported. Home igrown votei-s ouight to be plaeed on an even footing at least, with the foreign raised artlcle. Generosity often leiads people to ruin. It will lead a nation the same way. Tnm-many now controla the nation together with tlie solid south- and what are you go ing to do a bout it? IVill the democratie party carry out it.s platio-im? We most BlBCöPely believe it will not. It. dare mot earry out its platform, eilher ia reglard to free tm.de or wild o at bajiks. Let the democratie party have fuli eweep. L&t it be held responsable for the mguiagean'eait of tliis government. Let it legislate accordiiig to its plat.Bonuv ii it dare, ;i,iid theai .-see wliat tlie verdiet of the pewple will be four yeturs fronn'iiow.

The dear old woug: "iliehigaai, my Michigan," is dearer to the hearts oí republicana tliis year than it ever has heen bei'ore. It la the pri'eenest spot in the great Sahara of democratie triumpli In the unión. Tlie wool was not pulled over the eye.s of the people oí Xlichiffan. The tboaniiiiatioo of BicJb was iioit a mtstake. When rich men are republicana they a.re t-eitmed "plutocrats" by the demojrat.s, but when they are democratsj' fhey are imerely "well-to-do plehians." [t is a. fact, however, that the re are non.' ucaltliy demócrata in the country to-day tham there are wealthy I pepublicaps. Buit they don't eount n the bugaboo busiuieas oí tlve democratie party. Detroit deporta on an average a marnier a öay, of late. If tlie students or tonvn boys here at Aun Arbor havo a little lark, it is reported all over the wuiitry in ílaminsj headHnee, and a lesson in moráis is preaehed to lis.

The populist wül liold the balance of power in th-U. í?. senate after thL 4th of MArch ne.vt, accordinff to the figures last ma. The result in reprard to the Etonse will be a democratie miajority of about 75 instead 'of 147 ais at present. A handsome republican ffain- a very handtome pain considering the result on president.

This is a complete speech iu a. nutshell. _ Will any of the Avealtliy m-en of the ïation be any power now that the democratie pa.rty lias been, successful? Will Mr. Whl'taney, or Senator Brice, w G(v. Flower, or the Rockerfellfi-s, Or "'anderbiltB oir any other of :he "plutocrats," as the democrats have been pleased ta t#mi the wealthy )eople, give up any of their aecumulated iortuines? Will any of the poor men become richer? Jtist thiak it over my friend, you whKJ have voted the demiocratic ticket becauwe the demagögues made you believe tliat the miccess of tlie republican party foetered and encouraged the accumulatinff of large fortunes. Hon. Don. M. Dicklnspn is the edrrewdest democratie politician in the ctern states. While his state has go-no against his party, and every democratie politician in the state (Ctoipman a-nd Johnie Moloney excepted) is buried eo deep that it will taike the öhowea ot next April to find their remaine, fcue is oirt from under the debris iamd heippy as a king.

Western, of Grand Rapidis? Has anyone heard from him recently? But Mr. Dlklnsoo is on earth. He is the dispenser of Michigan's patronage He is monarch of all he surveys. To him all democratie kaees must cringu; all hends must lov; or they lare "Mot in it."

ISrenner's adminlstratkm of the of'icc of sheriff will give the lie to the 'nlse and annonymous circular got:en out aigainst him in the last days of the bampaign. - Ai-gus. If the Argus refers to the eircula,r living the amount in dollars and cepta ït has cost the people of this eounty "to take care of its criminal business. tramps, etc, for the past few years, we defy that paper to prove a line of tliíit circular false. Mr. Brenueïwill no doubt give the peopl a good, clean administration of the sheriffs office, for he is a igood, clean man, but wheu figures are taken from the published proceedlmgs of the board of supervisors, the Argus will have a hard time proving them false. Mr. Cleveland acored a great victory in Ann Arbor, the town where Michigan Universlty is situated and where Major UcKinley made uch a how-de-do over his scherae of engrafting republican ideas in the niiuds of college students. MoKinleyism has sli'own itself pártlcularly impopular in the seat of learning.- Chicago Herald. It is no doubt tnie that the deslre of raany college profeseors, assistant professors, tutors, etc., to secnre cheap foreign "books, coupled with a craving to liave books writtcn by t-hemsc'.ves published in Lomdon, or París or Berlín or other foi-eign cities, because oí the "tone" of the thing, liaví' lrd many of those gentlemen into th!e advocacy of free trade ideas, and o into the democratie party. It is to be hoped that the democratie party will now gratify their desires to the íullest possible extent.
