At a Temperance Meeting held IN Ann Ar.
Dor, on the 10th inst, Judge Cooley OF the
Supreme Court made the opening speech. In
the course OF his remarks he said;
We have come together tonight to discuss
an evil that reaches every household in the
land, that enters into every profession, that is
found in all classes OF society. Upon its altar
men will sacrifice health, wealth, fame, their
own honor, everything that man holds most
dear. Every measure that the men have pro-
posed for its suppression has failed, and our
great hope is now that the noble women OF the
land may succeed IN doing that which has
overcome all the efforts Of men"
Before the adjournment OF the meeting, a
committee reported the following resolutions,
which we're adopted, to-wlt:
Whereas, Ii is evident that the time has
come for united, earnest, and persistent work

Congressman Burrows returned to his home
in Kalamazoo on the Goth inst. and started on
bis return to Washington on the 23d. During
bis short stay he was visited by very numerous
OF bis Kalamazoo constituents. 1t is presumed
that the Post Office at that place was the cause
Of the visit OF both Burrows and his con-
stituents; although, it was claimed that the ill
ness OF his daughter brought him home, but as
she went along with him when he returned to
washington, 1t is fair to presume that she was
not very Ill but that the Captain really came
to take view OF the Post Office tub that has
been in a furious foam for some time. wewill
see in time who wins-whether the faction
that stood by him in the last canvass, or the
other that is expected to stand by him in the
next.
Congressman should be relieved Of all inter-
ference in Post Offices by turning them over
to the people to select the incumbent. by cleo
ton.

while these Wild Cats based their circulation on
real estate securities, our infiationists propose
to base theirs on Government Bonds. We have
had just one example Of that kind Of Banking
IN the State-The Government Stock Bank OF
Ann Arbor-and it proved as good swindle as
the other kind of Wild Cats. The Gold basis

Michigan was organized as territory IN the
year 1905, and the first enumeration thereafter
was made in 1910, and the population found to
be 4.762. In the next ten years the population
had hardly doubled it beng, according to the
census OF 1920, $500. For the next ten years
the population more than THRILLED, it being 81,
639 according to the census OF 1880. According
to the census of 1870 the population of the
State was ], 1S4, 1882. At the time Michigan was
relinquished to the United States by Great
Britain the population was confined to these
settlements-Sault ste Maria, Mackinac and
Detroit
Michigan was under French rule for period
OF one hundred and forty-on years-that is
from 1922 to 1763-and had been ruled by
twenty-one Governors sent over or appointed
by France. The territory was then turned
over to Great Britain, who held and ruled it for
period OF thirty-three years, and her affairs
were administered by five consecutive q overnors
the last Of whom appears to have been Lord
Dorchester
From 1896 to 1900 it formed a part Of the
Northwestern Territory, and Arthur st. Clair
was the Governor. In 1900 it became part Of
the Indian Territory and so remained till 1905
In 1905 it organized into separate territory
under it's present name. William Hull was its
first Governor and held the Office till 1913,
Lewis Cass was the second and held the Office
from 1881 till his death, July 9th 1884, and
Stevens T. Mason, boy some nineteen years
old held the Office er oticio, till its admission
as State Of the Union 1885.

In the report of the Cass County Circuit
Court proceedings, as published in the Cassop-
oils Democrat, the following item occurs:
"Amos Morris vs. Milo d. Matteson. This
case is brought by plaintiff, to cancel mort
gage on his farm IN Nolina, which it will be
recollected Matteson was convicted OF forging
at his trial at the last Circuit Court in Paw
Paw. motion was made by defendant asking
that the case be transferred to the |. S. Dis
trict Court at Grand Rapids, upon his fling a
bond for security for costs Affidavits we're
presented 10 the effect that defendant had be-
come a nonresident OF the State OF Michigan,
and that owing to local prejudice, he could not
obtain far and impartial trial in this Court
The Court, after hearing the motion. said that
it was powerless in the matter. as it was regu-
lated by nited States statute, and the re-
moval would be ordered, and if the plaintiff
was aggrieved. he could have his remedy in
the U. S. Court, by motion to remand"
This is dodge resorted to for the purpose
Of delay and to annoy and worry Morris. 1t is
resorted to for the further purpose of adding
to the expense and rendering it difficult to pro-
cure the attendance OF witnesses, all going TO
the advantage OF the defendant The removal
OF Matteson to South Bend, Ind, is sham.
We do not believe that Matteson has or ever
had any intention OF locating at South Bend,
permanently. His destination is Texas.

Ia Memory Of Ida Gilman.

IN Memory Of Ida Gilman.
She has gone, the we'll beloved,
In the rosy morn of life,
Died when earth seemed bright and far,
Faithful daughter, loving wife,
Passed away, ere yet her infant
Learned to know its mothers smile
Guard the motherless, blest angels
Keep l, free from sin and guile.
As she stood beside the river,
That dark nver, cold and drear,
y ethinks the Savior was beside her,
whispering these words Of cheer;
Come up higher come up higher
Here, beside my Fathers throne,
Ia place all bright and shining,
I've prepared for my own.
Much we grieve for the sad mourners.
We would comfort II we could,
But words seem idle in their sorrow,
God alone, can do them good.
May they put their trust in Jesus,
lie will wipe their tears away
He can heal their wounded spirits,
Turn their darkness into day.
Farewell. friend and worthy sister
FIRST to leave the Patrons here,
We shall miss thee from our number,
Since 40 more we meet thee here;
But beyond this world OF sorrow,
When from labor we're at rest
Wen clasp the hand or recognition,
In the mansions Of the blest.

whereas. as brotherhood, We desire to &C
knowledge our entire submission to the Divine
will, extend our sympathy to the bereaved,
apply the lesson it teaches to ourselves. and
add last token OF respect and love for the
memory OF the deceased, therefore,
RESOLVED, That to our brother, who has
thus early in the bright morning OF his happi-
ness been deprived OF the sole companion of
his life we extend to him the heartfelt grief
Of our entire fraternity, and while he is low in
sorrow. We kindly ask him to remember that
there is healing in the bitter cup, and that He
takes from US those we love as hostages OF our
faith, but that there Will be reunion in bet
ter world where no separation occurs, and
where the evening of our existence becomes
more delightful than the morning, and the
eternal sunset OF immortality offers brighter
and more glorious visions than those which We
here build up in the morning Clouds. That
we afectionately commend to him that sub
lime faith in the great Hereafter, which, as a
precious alcemy, transmutes grief into JOY, and
makes our Affections appear what they truly
are, a dispensation of goodness.

the deceased, who have thus 80 Unexpectedly

been removed from their family circle. We offer
to them our heartfelt sorrow but bowling to
the edict OF the great Master OF the eternal
Grange above, We would not il We could re-
store her again to earth believing that as she
passes the portals OF death, elysian fields,
garnished with the unfading flowers OF right
eousness, and decked with cascades and foun-
tains OF living water will bid our sister welcome.
THIRD, That in the removal from our midst
OF worthy and honored sister, We are remind
ed OF the potency Of our everything Providence,
and OF the browning lesson, which, as Agricul-
turist, He is daily teaching us; that in the de-
posting in the earth Of the inanimate seed, In
the bursting forth Of the germ, in the growth
OF the future plant, and in the rpenlng grain
that, in all these mutations OF nature, We have
most forcibly impressed upon our minds the
truth, that death is but the doorway to Immor-
tally and the entrance to fuller and richer
existence in the future.

was published in the TRUE NoRTHERSER at the

the following, which explains itself fully and
seems to free him from any guilty intention in
that matter:
PAW PAW, Mich, March 25, 1874.
Mr.. Van Horn, against whom complaint
was made for Forgery has this day been dis
charged, no information having been filed
against him by me, by the advice and consent
Of Judge C.. r. Brown, as l did not deem it
probable that conviction could be had in his
case, if tried, on account Of questions Of law in
volved; and having filed reasons with the
Court to that effect. So the bonds OF Mr..
Van Horn are released and he is dismissed.
