MAINE LAW IN MICmGAN.-The prohi-
tory liquor law in Michigan, has been adopt
ed by the people by a vote of nearly four to
one so far as the returns have been received.
Michigan has the honor of being the first
Western State which has adopted the princi-
pies of the Maine Liquor Law. We should
have been rejoiced to see Wisconsin take the
lead in this movement Wisconsin, has stood
foremost in many of the great reforms of the
age. 1t was the first Western State to de
clare its public schools free to all. The re-
salt in Michigan will give a renewed impulse
to the temperance reform throughout the
west. The papers in Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois, are now beginning to talk more earnest
ly than ever in favor of a prohibitory liquor
law.

E9 The Oshkosh Courier attempts to
enlighten his neighbors as to the democracy
OF c. L. Sholes. The Courier says that Mr..
Sholes was roaring abolitionist in IA and
As, and he, together with his brother, estab-
lished the first Abolition paper in the Terri
tory of Wisconsin, After such silly state
ment, it would not be surprising if the Cou-
rier should next aver that MIR. Sholes was an
original partner with Garrison in the es-
Enlistment of the Boston Liberator. The
latter statement would be as near the truth
as the former. Mr.. Sholes supported the
election of Polk in 1914, and was appointed
to the office of Postmaster in this place, I'M

that would be. A mortal who pretends to

B Mr. Brooke, one Of the editors Of the New
York Express, writes from Washington that the
Secretary of the Navy has made up his mind to rec.
emmend very thorough increase Of the personal
and material Of the Navy,and the President sustains
the recommendation entirely. He also says:
"The Secretary OF the Treasury has mapped out
very radical reduction Of The tariff particularly on
iron, zinc, and other metals. ! think he will rec
ommend reduction Of ten per cent. on all foreign
metals imported into the country, and propose new
system OF duties, based on five, ten, fifteen, and
twenty per cent. revenue, and alec large class Of
free importations from articles which we raise the
least aud consume the most. THIS plan proposes an
annual revenue of about 6lly millions Of dollars, but
tits probable the rates Of duty some articles may
be put higher than twenty per You may ex-
pect to see the ist Of free goods very considerably
enlarged, If the recommendations Of the Secretary
prevail"

"Col. Alexander DE Wit, having been cleo

he goes, and wherever he goes, will carry with
him the best wishes Of every man who has been
fortunate in business other ASSOCIATION with him.
Few men can count greater number Of friends,

feel just pride IN their representative
