MAUMEE CITY EXPRESS.
SATURDAY, AUGUST, 3. 1890.


All this talk about reforming the manners
of party editors, by passing resolutions is
all in my eye.' We don't believe that edi
tors who could not behave themselves be.
fore the convention will do so now, howev-
er urgent they may have been for that meet
ing 10 take place. For our part, we had u
little convention of our own, good while
ago, in which were passed some important
resolutions, which we may as well promul-
gate, as we have found, by experience, that
we can live up to them.
i. Resolved, that we will make money by
our paper, and five can't do it at ono price
we will try another.
2. Resolved, that we will do no gratis ad-
vertislng, either political nor other, and os-
peciallv that we will trust no political party
without Irresponsible man for surety.
8. Resolved, that we will not commence
a war upon any of our Deghbors.
a. Resolved, that the man who commen-
ces war upon us will catch it.
". 5. Resolved, that we will do Justly, love
mercy and wall, humbly, but the way we
qriH stick to our rights will be nobcdy'S
business.
6. Resolved, that we will send gar paper
to the order of no person AZ distance, un-
less the order is accompanied either by pay
ment or satisfactory reference.
7. Resolved that these proceedings be
pub,ishedin the ,haumee Express and -,
FopEIey.-The Great Western arrived
in New York on the 22d, having left Liver
pool on the 9Th.
The appearances of the money market are
no more favorable than at the last tadvlces,
nnd American securities cannot be sold at
any prices.
The contraction of the currency by the
Bank of England has had the effect to de-
press the price of cotton, both in England
and on the continent. Sales are very dull
and limited to small quantities for immedl-
ate consumption.
The harvest promises to be abundant, as
well throughout all the European states, as
in England.
The Wing administration remains in
power though in very precarlous condl-
ton, as their majority in the House ofCom-
mons has dwindled down to two.
Mr.. Webster remains in London, and is
q lion of the first magnitude at the court
end of the town. lie has been much no
tlced by the Queen at the various concerts
and balls which his family and himself have
attended at the palace, and he is almost op-
pressed with engagements in high life.
The British Queen, steamer, is advertis-
ed to sail from London on tile 10th, and
from Liverpool on the 1lth ult.
HEALTH OF THE CouNTRY.-So far, very
little sickness has been experienced i'll
this section, and the-~eason has progress
sed SO far that we may safely calculate its
future character. Every thing appears
favorable to the continuance of health. 1t
is true, the weather has been, for several
days very warm, but we are not suffering
under extreme drouth, nor its opposite; the
nights are cool and not cold, as during the
hot season of last year. Bowel com
plants, which almost always prevails dd-
ring the summer are becoming less and less
frequent, and the few cases Of fever we
have had yield readily to medical treatment,
presenting no complication of symptoms nor
appearances of malignity.
MARCH OF REFINEMENT.--Tb business
of calling things by their right names is get
ting dreadfully out Of fashion now a days.
Even the circus folks have learned that the
school master is abroad, and play all kinds
of pranks with the language. A circus is
turned into Gan equestrian seminary"
ground and lofty tumbing is sisnicd under
the refined name Of corpurcuar evolu-
tions, and plain ring master has become ex-
alted into pompous equestrian direc tor"

woUTANpo IN pIE.---rhe Post Master at
Cassyille, Wisconsin, tells us that James
Findley of that place does not take our pa
per out of the office, having G. t., gone to
Texas. Let him go. We would gladly
conjure brother Smead's fever and ague in
to him, ifit would make him travel any fas-
ter.
The Government does mt see TT to notice
our proposals to furnish concentrated quint-
essence of fever and ague for propelling the
mails. They had better bid quick, for the
season for collecting it is almost over, and
the demand is steadily increasing.
