Regent Henry Howard of Port Hurón, dii'd last Saturday morning aftr 0, eevere iUmess of over a year, brougbt on from the grip. He was a most successful business man, of gemaal icnipcrampnt, and everywliere üked tor hi quick, clean way of tranaaebiing bueinees. Had hc kept liis l;calih hc would have been one of the most viaíued members of the board of regente. Btsides being president and director of many corporations he was at tlie hea-d of the Port Huron Gas Co., niiuoli of the stock of which ie held in Ann Arbor. He was not uinliike tlie late A. L. Noble, and oceupied about tlie same position in hls own city which Mr. Noble did here, as had of a bank, lighting company and beloved public citizen. The deceased had held nany positions of trust in business enterprises R.nd organizations, and was Eminent Cammander of tlie Port Huron Commaadery Knigats Temp'lar at the time of lus death. He was buried with civic and military honors last Monday. Seventeen miiilions of dollars is a great deal of money. To au individual th.O Buira is almost incomprehensible ; to a state it is scarcely within the rays of visloii ; to the nation it is a vaet and prodiglous amount ; but to tlie democratie party it is a mere bagatelle, a trifling affair whicli is beimg added to .the Üebt of this governmeait eadi month, by this administratiom, wliose Jeffersonian Bimplicity was heralded so long in advanee, but whic-h has never materalized. Seventeen million dollars ! Just give tlxe (aanount a thought, my Christian friend- especiaüy lf you haie been the -ictim of the present free trade ttaies. Oppoeition to the renomination of Ooaigreíe5man Gorman is growing stromger every day, particularly in thi6 Ann Arbor section, where his course concern'.ng the 'postmastership of tli Um'n-ersity City was anything but aatf.efactory or popular witli "the unterrified." AVhether or mot Mr. Gorman is renominated will make no particular differente, a.s the seat of the ï-ppresentiitive froim the second Michigan, district in th 54th congree.-s will be kopt warm by a republiean. - Dundee Ledger.
