In Mr. Cleveland's Recent Speech At

Sandwich, Mass., there were, it is saiu, 133 I's. It is pleasant to see that the ox-preeident recognizes his own greatness. ,______- - ■ It is about time that some definite steps were taken by the city council (or fcte establishment of sewerage. The .seople are anxious to know whether this]needed improvement is to come in 189l"or in 1991. Michigan rejoices at the opportunity oí entertaining the old veterans of the war. If there is any aristocracy in this country it must consist of those brave men who shed their blood that the nation might live. Thk refusal of the council to receive the communication of the business men's assodation was au uncailed for slap at that organization. No possibUs harm could result from referring the resolution to the sewerage committee, as four aláermen desired. The zeal of the people who are opposedto sewerage or desire to put it off indefinitely seeais to be abnormally de7eloped. The latest utterance by any erga of the Farmers' Alliance advocates the abolition of two things: First, interest; second, all laws for the collection of dsbts. This would indeed be a beautischeme for all debtors who_have ilready secured loans: all future lpans are to come from the great big pocketbook of Uncle Sam who, of coursL, would never dun one of his own children. Such nonsensical views, we are glad to say, have never secured much of a foothold in Michigan. Bc8iNKS8 has now adjusted itself to the changed conditions imposed by the McKinley law. An era of prosperity has apparently set in, over whïch, however, a dark shadow impenda. That shadow is the posaibility of theelecüon of a Democratie president in 1892. Judging from the utterances of leading politicians, this would rnean nothing more or less than the repeal of the Mc Kinley act.theenaction ofa freecoinage law and- a panic. Against this danger the Eepublican party will fight successfully under the leadership of James G. Blaine. ________ ___ Ihe lonelinesa of farm life ia one of the causes why taoat of the, boys seek the cities.XMany plans have been deviaed to obvíate Jthis difficulty. Now comes Millionaire Bookwalter, of Springfield, Ohio, with an extremely practical plan. He ownsatract of 12,000 acres in Nebraska.which he proposes to divide into farma of eighty aerea each. n the center will be located a village, ■ with . a house correaponding to each .(arm. Hete the people will live, going .o and from their work at morniug and i aight. In the vlllage will be establislied i choola, halls, and, in short, every' thing that can promote the mental, -)hysical and spiritual welfare of the l8ople. Mr. Bookwalter'a plan ia not new, but it ia certafnly meritorious. The RsüHTKR'has decided to get out special edil ion during the latter part of e oext month, probably about the seven' eezth. The object in view in doing .his ia to do what we can to boom the city. The issue proposed will besomethiiig unique in lts way, and the edition will ba a very large one. The committee on printing appointed by the Business Men!sAnociation at their last meeting aove -unanimously endorsed the plan proposad as being a good one, and urge that it meet with the support it deserves among all our business men. Every business man ie the city will be called apon, and it is hoped that without ex ceptioa each will do something to help i make ttiis. paper a complete succes. '■"Wehave 110 hesitationin askingtluB, as tbe matter is not a money making .acheme. The more support we get, the larger and better the edition will be made.
