in this county, and removed with his
father to Michigan about 1887.
The President has appointed Ed

honorable position of Third Assistant

is well fitted for the place. He will
adapt himself to the duties of his new
position with the same readiness, and
perform them with the same ability he
has already displayed in several branches
OF the public service. We rejoice in
this appointment, not alone that an
chum and personal friend gets good

of local pride-but for the higher
reason that we know the Government

the assembly -that is the monarchist have
already taken the alarm and are preparing
for extreme measures. The strength of re.
publican sentiments, there as everywhere,
rests with the middle classes, not with the
aristocrac., and hitherto ruling powers.
The army, a. Il general rule, are with the
powers that be, no matter what political
opinions they represent. Education, how
ever, is making sad inroads among the "ar-
i'tocracy"-as we call them for the sake Of
making "a distinction that is TO say IL
making republicans of them and joining
them to the middle and laboring classes,
