Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1875-07-17
AFEW WORDS.

In accordance with belief that good
newspaper would pay in Cheboygan, the
NORTHERN TRIBUNE has been establish.
cd. Whether or not that belief is vel
pounded time alone can prove. The
publishing of a newspaper is very SINH
lar to any other class of business. L
there is want felt in any community fo,
a paper, and one is established and fill:
that want, it well be success, if it doe:
not, like any other business under the
same circumstances, the enterprise must
prove failure. Upon this basis, and
no other does this journal de-
sire support and encouragement from
the community, and just in proportion
as its fills the wants of the public does
it expect to achieve success.
In this connection it may not be amiss
to state that it is the intention of the
manager to publish newspaper, devoted
especially to the local interests of Che
boygan, city and county. A fair share of
attention will also be paid to the advance
ment of the interests of the entire north
ern portion of the state, embracing par
ticularly within its scope all those
counties adjacent to Cheboygan, which
do not as yet possess local paper. While
the paper will be devoted prin-
cipally to local affairs, it will give
each week full resume of all the prin-
cipal events transporting throughout the
state, as we'll as the Whole country, to-
gether with sufficient amount of enter
tanning miscellany as will make it a
welcome weekly visitor in every family.
The NORTHERN TRIBUNE will not be
political paper. The manager deeming
that the interests of his patrons and the
community can be best subserved by his
devOting his entire attention to the adj
vancement of local interests, and to this
end he will claim the right IN county
and city affairs to take such action as he
thinks will best subserve those interests.
With these few words of introduction
the NORTHERN TRIBUNE is sent upon its
mission, to meet success or failure, in pro-
portion as it meets the wants of its read
erS.

THEBEECHER TRIAL.

The great Beecher trial has ended al
last. Six months have been consumed in
hearing the evidence and the legal dis
cussions. The very best legal talent has
been employed upon both sides, and tens
OF thousands of dollars in money have
been expended, and now the question OF
Mr.. Beecher's guilt of the shocking
charge, is left just where it was before
the trial began. The jury have announc-
ed. that they could not agreeup on ver-
dict.
What have been the results of the tri-
al? Most disastrous for the country at
large. The moral sentiment of the nation
has been lowered. Much of the evidence
was actually indecent, while all oft was
SUCCESSFULLY so; not fit for newspaper
mention. Yet it has been published in
full by all the leading papers, and sent
out every morning to be read by millions
ofpeople both young and old. The influ-
ence could not be other than corrupting,
and its baneful effects have been felt in
every nook and corner of the land.
The principle effort on the part of Mr..
Beecher's counsel has been to blacken
Mr.. Tilton's character, and the character
OF every body who questioned the great
preachers innocence. If this could be ac-
complished, of course the purity of Mr..
Beecher's character would at once be es-
tablished.
As far as running the reputation of Mr..
Tilton, and leaving his character in a
state of utter moral dilapidation, that has
been accomplished to an extent crafty
ing, even to Mr.. Beechers warmest par
tizans; but the evidence has, at the same
time, exposed an amount of weakness, not
to say Stiffness and credulity,on the part
of Mr.. Beecher, throwing aside the ques-
ton of guilt, that is not at all CONSTANT
with his supposed high character. He
may be eloquent, he may be great
preacher, he may be innocent, but he is
sadly deficient in common sense.
That the result of the trial, and its ex-
posures, will have any immediate effect
upon Mr.. Beecher's popularity as a
preacher, so far as his hearers are con-
cerned, we do not think, but his words
will never again have the influence they
once had. TO ''vindicate" Mr.. Beecher
before the world, Plymouth church has
raised his salary to 100000 per year.
Plymouth Church is run upon CONNER
cial principle, and as long as Mr.. Beech
er's notoriety lasts, the speculation will
pay, but he cannot be vindicated" in
any such way.

The Jackson Citizen says young
lady, yet in her teens, bought at a shoe
store in that city the other day, pair of
No. 10 shoes, the old shoes which she
left, and which she said were too tight

broad. She is evidently first cousin to
the woman who couldn't pick up chips
because her feet covered all that were
in reach. The Jackson damsel lives in

Mr.. KEELY, the "new motor" man,
proposes to run a train of thirty cars
from Philadelphia to New York at the
rate of sixty miles an hour with single
engine, the motive power to be furnished
by an amount of water which can be
held in the palm of ones hand. If he shall
prove that there is so much power in a
small amount ofwater the Philadelphians
will be more afraid of that element than
ever; but unless they are very credulous
they will wait until they see the train
move out of the station.

ANOTHER bank has been saved from
pillage by the use Of a lock which is
opened by cloel<worlk on the Inside Of
the vault. On the night of the 9th, a
gang of burglars seized and bound the
family of the cashier of the National
bank of Barrie, Vermont, and took the
cashier to the bank. and required him
to open the vault. He showed them that
the vault could not be opened, and that
the lock was on the inside, controlled by
clock, whereupon they let him go, and
gave up the job.
