Something Queer

Is it not just a little queer that the people having grievances against the Daily Courier that the Daily Times tells its readers about in alrnost every issue, do not come to the Courier with them, but rush to the Times with their coinplairïfs? It would seem as if some of them at least who have been so deeply wronged, would have the good seiise and good judgment to go where they can be righfèd, instead of wailing to the public through the columns of another paper, which can in 110 way benefit them. If Mr. Fred C. Brown had been imposed upon or wronged by anyone, he would go to that person for redress wouldn'the? He wouldu't go whining around about it to someone else. Then wliy doesn't he credit other people with having as much comnion sense as he himself has? If there are these people that he tells about, is not his course aii insult to their cominon honesty and ordinary good sense? An iinplication that they are incapable of attending to their own affairs? E. E. Beadle, the originator of the dirae novel, is dead. So are hundreds of his victims. How's tliis? John Douovan was last week sentup for three years for robbing a store at Holly ! But then, of course, it wasn't the original and only John, Michigan' only pride, and the democracy's only hope. 'Course not. One of the statisticians of the Agricaltural Department has discovered that tlie people of this country eat too much. That may be true of some of the people but it is not true of all of the people who have gone hungry during all the inonths of the democratie panic. The young womanwho became notorious through her association with Breekenridge had the courage to answer au advertisement for agoverness which appeared in a New York paper the other day. She must have a queer idea of the mothers who advertise for governesses in this country. The editor of the Aim Arbor Courier asserts that "the widow is the most popular woman who flits across the nnilestrom of social Ufe," and he don't refer to any particular widow either. - Northville Record. Don't believe the editor of the Courier ever said it. The Record credits the wrong paper. That sounds just like Sellers, of the Cedar Springs Clipper. Arrangements have been perfected between this country and all other civilized nations of the earth, so . that. after jan, lst next, a fivecent stamp will take a Iettter to any postofflce in the world. Heretofore the rate lias been ten cents to all countries not included in the postal union. Verily, again, the world do move. The practice of having prisoners of I other states incarcej-ated at the House of Correction in Detroit, as is being done is reprehensible. We do not know whetherunder present law itcan be prevented. If not, some means should be devised to stop the practice. Thirty-two of the worst characters ever infested the West have just been received there f rom Arizona. In due course of time they will be turned out of prison at Detroit to prey upon the people of Michigan, and yet people will wonder why crime in this state increases. - Stockbridge Sun. Representative Bryan, of Nebraáka, lias introduced a resolution in Congress offering an amendment to tlie U. S. Constitution, making a presideut ineligible to succeed himself, and another making a presidentineligible to asecond term. ISow if Mr. Bryan will introduce still another resolution making tlie presileutial term one of six years, lie will complete the reform according to tlie ideas of the people of this country, especially the business men oí the country, wlio believe that a presidential election every four years is detrimeutal to the best iuterests of the nation. A large najority of the citizens of this nation believe in this change of the constituion. Just think what a future there is for ilpena, Manietee and Muskegon, Sagnaw and Bay City, if the following item, goingthe rouudsof the pressonly proves o be a tmthful one : "Bread niay vet )e cheaper in this country, even tlian it s uow. It is said that good bread can ie made from common sawdust, and rye flour- three-fourths sawdust. V chemical process takes away the textïre and taste of the wood and libérate he saccharine and nutritive elementa , ad with a little rye flour it makes a very mitritious bread which is sold at $1.25 per hundred weight. Truly this is a irogressive age wben we can go to the ïitchingpost and saw off a couple of lices of bread- minus the butter- for ur daily needs."
