Washtenaw County Rejoices In The

fact that she has furnished for the government at Washington the man who has demanded from Spain an apology for the dastardly act of one of her gunboats in flring upon a United States mail boat. His name is Edwin F. Uhl. Rev. Ashton, a Jackson connty preacher, is trying to niake sonie notoriety for hiinself by making a tirade against the Maccabees and other secret societies. He'd better join a tent and then perhaps he will know better what he is taiking abont. Secret.-iry Carlisle is a great financier. Aiter selling the U. S. government bonds at a price tliat made for the buyers many millioais of dollars, no"w that gentleman has annulled the policy heretofore pursued of Itinig the ünión Pacific E. R. with the amount it earned by carrying U. S. mails on the amoiunt that corporatioin owed the government, and has ordered cash paid for that work. The people of this country have always believed Carlisle honest, but no financier. Kow tbey begin to suspect something wrong, Bomewliere. So many outrageous and costly blunders could iiot bo innocently conimitted. Tliere's millio'ns in it for the capitalista and railroad men. Is tliere anything in it for Carlisle ? Since Brother Hammond, of the Argus, ha been a candidate for office, he has been singiug lO'W on his hobby about the benefits of free wool. He begins to suspect the farmers haY fouud Out the fact that there are 5,000,000 less sheep in the United States than there were in 1S93. The value of American sheep on Jan. 1, 1893 was giren at $125,909,264, and the viilue of America.n flocks Jan lst, 1895 was given at $66,885, 6G7, a decline oí mearly one-half in the two years of tlie administration oí Mr. Harnmond's party. These t hings are appalling evidences oí tlie evil blight oí íree wool oa ons of the gsreart souvces of incomo the ía.i-nier liad. Tlijei'efoa-ethe f ree traders fiad it takes lots of oiei-ve now to go out and filíate hands wlth the flock-master and try to catch. his vote once more. "Oh no, David, you can't do us again." The Wa-ihingtüii Tiniep, the only democratie nioriiiiig newspapér in Wasliington, D. C-, edited bv a democratie gressman, today lias the following indictment of Grover Cleveland: "lie appointed Secretary Gres h ana. lie disrupted hia party in Congress ly an unjust and discrimiuating distribution of public patronage. He disappointed the public by surrounding himeelf witli corporation attorneys and friends of trusts aud rings. He advocated submission to the sugar trust, and was iufluential in bringing on a retaliatory commercial war with Europe. He ordered United States troops to Chicago duringtlie riots and incurred the eninity of organized labor. He cónspired u'ith gold gamblers and used his high position to contract an unnecessary, exj)ensive, and secret bond sale. He undertook to restore Liliuokalani, notwithstanding the remonstrance of nine-tenths of the American people. He destroyed tlio organization of the democratie party by establishing a cuckoo contingent. He made it absolutely impossible for Congress to enact satisfaetory tariff legislation, or to uct at all on finaucial questions. He drove nearly all democratie Uniou soldiere into otber parties by au internperate and prejudicial pension policv. He destroyed all prospects of a speedy resuuiption of good times by beinginstrumental in delaying important Oongressional legislation. As a result of tbis eombination of executive folly this country is suffering from a prolonged and disastrous business depression. AVe are at commercial warfare witli important European nations, tbe diplomatic outlook is clouded witb serious international controversies. Our treasary can only beapaintained by bond sales. The claim that President Cleveland i foítune's favorito can no longeT be maintained."
