MAuMEE CITY EXPRESS.
shTURDAY, NOVEMBER IT, 1888.


XTo OUR SuBscRIBERs.--A long and cold
winter is approaching, during which we, like
yourselves shall need the comforts oil The
boys cannot pick up the nimble type, unless
their fingers are supplied with the proper ge:
nial warmth; the pressman cannot pull off the
sheet upon his ponderous machine unless his
stemach is fortified with the portion of cata-
bles and drinkables that 60 to make this wea-
ry world bearable. the editor cannot spin out
his columns Of news and information with hun
ger and care gnawine at his vitals and drying
up his brain. We must oe fed, warmed and
clothed, and to do that we must receive our
dues. We have forborne to dun, because we
wished not to drive our friends in seasons of
trouble and scarcity; but those seasons have
now in a measure passed by. The'harvests of
this year have given many the ability to pay
without difficulty, which they could not have
done before. And now, it is no more than just
that we should receive the pay for our labor
end our pains. Oar expenses have been paid
from our means until they have been exhaust
ed, and we must now receive our dues to sup
ply their place. Our wants are the same as
yours and we supply them in the same manner.
We will take, on accounts everything that
can be eaten by man or beast-we want wood,
and from those who have nothing else, we
want labor. Shall we have onr pay!

THANKSGIVING IN THE EAsT.--The govern

owing to the scarcity Of pumpkins our gov

NOuR MERCHANTs.-We have, without doubt,
the most active, liberal and enterprising class
of merchants, in this place that can be found
in the whole West. Look at our advertising
columns--they display an amount and variety
Of articles worthy of any town west of the
mountains. Take look at their stores--they
are full from the floor to the ceiling with the
products of every land. Splerdd stocks of
goods display their means and the scale upon
which they do their business; the way they
patronize the printer is evidence of their en-
terprize and their lberalty; and we can say
with certainty that if the presence of real, solid
capital, and the residence of men of enterprise
and judgment can do ought for the growth of
city, ours is in fair way of being built up.
We are inclined to think tkat the events ofthis
season will do away with the silly idea, that
sail vessels are more safe than steamboats, for
lake navigation, and we rather think the nsu-
rance offices will discover the difference if the
vessel owners do not.

Revolt IN CANApA.--The patriots are
again in arms, and risings have taken place
at many points. The leaders are said to be
Theller, Dodge, Nelson, Cote, Gagnion and
Hotchkiss. 1t is reported that st. Johns has
been taken. Marshall law has been proclaim
ed in Montreal. The whole country is in con
sternation. Several skirmishes have taken
place, and prisoners have been taken on both
sides. At La Toru, miles from Laprairie,
Beauharnois, on the river Richlieu, Caugh-
nawaga and several other places, conflicts have
taken place. in some Of which the rebels have
succeeded. Mr.. EIlice, late private secretary
to Lord Durham has fallen into the hands OF the
patriots. The work has now commenced,
what its termination may be heaven only
knows. 1t is a conflict for dear life on the part
of those of the rebels who have appeared in
arms, and we are satfied that 1t will be fought
with desperatioan. ......

DUELLlNa.--T The Cincinnati Chronicle, in an
article upon duelling, has the following state
ment, which is. well worthy Of notice from
those who regard the practice as necessary
evil
aWe will now avert to the opinion Of Ohio
on the subject Of duelling. Ohie become a
State in 1909, SO years since, and we have NOT
heard Of a single duel within its limits during
that period. The State has now million and
halt of people. No more complete demon
stration could be made, that such ARRAYS arc
wholly useless and that the people of Ohio hold
them 10 aversion. They have the passions d
other men, are asbraveps other men, yet they
do without duels. and condemn them in others

WAGES OF LABoR.-Mr. Brooks one of the
editors Of The New York Express, in speech
delivered in Kings county, made the following
remarks which are true to our knowledge, and
should make deep impressionon the laboring
classes: '.'e -.'te
| Mr.. Brooks, in the course of his remarks,
stated that the collection of the revenue IN spe-
Gle, as ultimately intended under the sub-Trea-
sury system, would require, IN times of pros
perty, the exaction of ss 100000 of specie
per annum for the custom-house in the single
city of New York. That there had seldom or
never been more than 100000 at any one
time in all the banks of the city. That upon
a decision of the $50 100000 Of specie in the
United States among the 100000 inhabi-
tants, there would fall to the share of each in
dividual the sum of sS5, which, again divided
by the 365 days of the year, would give each
person less than cents per day. In the
course of his travels in Europe, Mr.. B. sad
he had visited countries where specie curren-
cy and sub-Treasury prevailed, and where
many laborers get but cents per day; that
he had hired men in the Neapotan dominions
for New York sixpence per day; and yet
such was the state to which the Administra-
ton had undertaken to reduce the free People
of this Union"
By the credit system-by bank notes, found
ed on sound capital, the laboring classes can
be supported. But the gold humbug, exclu-
sively established, will give. workman only
sirpence per day.-N. Y. Star.
LAND New Orleans Bulletin
of the 10Th says:--sT The low stage of water
has occasioned the caving of the earth at the
landing of almost every town on the banks of
the Mississippi The first accident of the kind
occurred at New Orleans, which swallowed
up portion Ofthe wharves along the PicayuDe
pier. The next happened at Vicksburg, and
more recently the Free Trader describes two
other land slides at Rodney and Matches.
SIN the latter place the land had cracked in
two places near the cotton press, and extend
ed nearly as low down as. the steamboat hotel.
The walls of the cotton warehouse erected
near the press were cracked considerably, and
| it is supposed they will have to be removed"
A gentleman direct from Rodney, states that
portion ofthe town had fallen into the river,
and that two houses hal actually been destroy
cd by the land slide or caying Of the bank. No
tidings Of similar disaster at Grand Gulf has
yet reached US, and protected as that place is,
by the rocky abutments Of the Gulf Hills, there
is 3 probability that it may escape the threat
ened mischief. 1as if9
