It's A Good, Wide-awake, Stinging

ajgnment of the Democratie management, that Mr. Sessions wrote for Tiik Buister this week, and printed on the sixth page. it Mr. Lehman secured what educaron he has under adverse eircumstanees, it is, of conree, comraendable ; bat 5t doesn't necessarily entitle him, nor does it necessarily fit him, to be proseenting attorney of Washtenaw county. Such a etruggle as the Argus claims he had for an education is very common. and it shouldn't obscure the main point at issce. __________ Thb free traders claim that we could buy things so mnch cheapr, you know, if we had protective tariff. That is not the way in which to look at it. The true way ia this : If we had never had a protective tariff would we be buying these things as cheap as we now get them? In other words, did not the tariff eo stimulate production of almost eyerytbingin this country that the competition bronght prices down lower than ihey would be if the tariff had never esisted? ______ Tn at terrible " surplus " and the " war tases" yet trouble some of our Democratie friends. Since the war the Repnblieans have reduced the national fcreasury receipts eleven times, - seven times by taking off internal revenue taxes, and fonr times by redneing the tariff rates. ís it not reasonable to suppoee that if given the power, they will o so again so as to prevent too large retentie receipts? And would notthe ïtepublicans do it in a more jodiciooa wanner than the Demócrata are likely to employ ? De. Maclean, interviewed by the Detroit Evening Journal, declares that he is not discouraged by the action of the regents on his Écheme of dismembering the Univereily. He boldly asserts ihatthe regents did not fully consider the question, and that its members are ander the inflnence of persons in Ann Arbor. He calis President Angeli's argumente " fallacious and sophisticated," Dut does not prove them to be so. He aysthat the profession and people are in favor of the removal, - a pure asBumption. Altogether, it would seem that Dr. Maclean has considerable intuence with the regents or he would be requested to resign. The small amount of his time which he condescends to opend in Ann Arbor can't be very valuable to the U. of. M.
