sept. 2lst, 1873.
The application from young men snd ladies'
who are preparing to enter the Kalamazoo
Business College are double what they were
last year.
On last Tuesday mornig our usually quiet
village was startled by the report that Henry
Fitch, an old resident Of this county, had CON-
mitted suicide. lie had been missing from
about eleven o'clock Monday forenoon, and
was discovered by his son Clinton about eight
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, hanging in his
barn. He had taken his boots coat and vest
of when discovered. and was suspended by
common driving rein, which had been securely
fastened to collar-beam overhead. ana from
appearances had been dead some twelve or
fourteen hours. From the appearance of his
clothing one was led to conclude that he had
been rolling on the floor previous to committing
the final act. BY the side of the box on which
he evidently stood while adjusting the rein was
found broken morphine bottle, from which
/ it was thought that he might have taken an
overdose, by which temporary insanity was
induced. He had fastened all the doors on the
Inside. A coroner's jury returned verdict in
accordance substantially with the above state
ment. His funeral took place yesterday.
The Wisconsin State Grange. at late con-
ventlon, adopted and put forth al address, in
which they specifically state what course they
propose to pursue politically. Among other
resolves of similar import, we quote this -
" Third-That the farmers will support no
RECEIVING RETROSPECTIVE INCREASE OF SALARY
for public service, or RECEIVED an ADVANCE in
SALARY by the Act of March Sd, 1873"
The above resolve is 80 sweeping IN it's terms
that no granger can vote for any of the present
members of Congress without 'going back" on
the above resolution, for every member, new
and old, now draws from the Treasury OF the
United States, by the operation Of the Act OF
March 3, 1873, better known as the Salary Steal
law, the snug little sum OF six hundred and
twenty-five dollars every month as compensa-
ton for services rendered to the government.
when it is we'll known that all the newly
elected members have not yet entered upon
any duty except the disposlng OF Postofiices
and coiectorships in such way as will Gin their
opinion) best promote their chances for a
second term.
1t would seem that the operation of sprlnk-
ing shay seed in the hair" OF the newly elected
members of Congress by the oranges, is to be
OF no benefit to the recipient if he pockets the
SIX hundred and twenty-five dollars per month
under and by virtue Of the Act OF March 3D.,
1878.

Seed" out of their hair. quit the private dis

can. content themselves with tine salary Of Five

I which they moved heaven and earth to bring
within their reach.
Some may call this plain talk reasonable
/, because they may fancy tlat If these sugges
: tons were carried out, tL..r schemes might
. be interfered with. We make issue only with
. the corrupt ores who have worked their way tc
the front for the sole purpose OF "featherinl
their own nests" and who thus bring reproacl
upon the party.
We behve that the Republican party is to
day as honest and trustworthy as eyer--that il
, their loyal zeal they have been imposed upor
, by the dishonest ones, who will not scruple t.
, do anything to crafty their own greed fol
q gain. The more honest members are osiled
| to ono side by the unworthy. 1t is the latter
class that the great mass OF Thinking Republi-
cans want to get lid Of.
