The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-02-25

A lady who had barely succeeded in
not catching an outgoing train at Can
ton, Miss, stood gazing at it with her
arms full of packages and her eyes full
of tears, when gentleman arrived at
the depot on a run, with his valise in
his hand, his coat ON his arm, and his
face streaming with perspiration. He
sat down on his valise, looking at the
vanishing train, and deliberately said.
''damn it !" Whereupon the lady sweet
ly smiled and earnestly said, THANK
you, sir !"

Mr.. Taylor from Judiciary Committee re-
ported a num- Der of bills.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1875-02-25

Mr.. ATKINS made the following report and
stated that the other member of the minor
lty, Mr.. Byrd of Pearl, was sick, and did not
have an opportunity to sign the report:
Mr.. SPEAKER-We the undersigned mi
nority OF your special committee. to whom
was referred II, B. 762, to be entitled an act
TO establish a Metropolitan Police District
and 20 provide for the government OF the
same, nave not considered the bill in that
manner that the Importance OF the same
demanded. The committee have only had
one formal meeting and that for a
very short time. and without arriving a.
any conclusion upon any feature in the
oli; since which time one of the under
signed was called upon informally, by a
majority of the committees and informed
him that they had agreed TO two amend
ments: One reducing the salaries provided
Tor IN the original bill, one-half; the other
authorizing the Governor, at his discretion
TO organize similar police force for any
city. town. or county in the State
10 the first amendment, of course we do
not object But the second meets our most
earnest and serious opposition. for the rea-
son that it eonfers too much power upon the
Governor, and extends the great Wrongs
proposed in the original bill upon the peo-
pie Of Warren county, or any other county.
city or town in the State without any ex-
lselng ground or reasonable prospective ne
cessity for any such organization.
We are opposed to almost every proyision
in the bill for the reason that we cannot inn
agine any kind of necessity for it, with
out it is for the purpose of destroying
the civil and political liberty, of the cOun-
try and bankrupting the people of this
State. There Is no county, city or town in
the State that calls for any such power as
is provided for In this bill, to keep the PEG
pie in subsection TO law and order and one
OF the effects that it will have will be to ir-
ritate aud dissatisfy the people of the State,
who are as quiet and Iaw-abiding as the
people of any other State in the Union.

THERE is a prospect that the affairs of
the Treasury Department, are now in the
hands ola man who will see that there is
honesty observed in all branches of the
revenue service. Secretary Bristow's re-
ply to the distillers and brewers who pro-
posed to compound their funds by the
payment of large sums of money, has
the true ring about it. He says he will
compromise no case, and that every suit
will be pressed to an honest trial. There
is to be no room for private arrangements,
which are always suspicious, nor for the
acceptance of hush money in the Treas
ury Department nowadays. How the
Secretary's honest zeal will be seconded
by district attorney, judges and juries
remain to be seen. 1t would not be sur
prising, ifa number of district attorneys
would have to be removed before any,
thing like vigorous prosecution in their
districts could be looked for. We trust
there will be no further interference with
the Secretary ofthe Treasury to protect
rascality, as there was, when he wished
to change certain supervisors, whom it
is now certain were parties to the frauds.
An honest collection of the revenues of
the government, would relieve the
Treasury of many ofits endorsements
In the Treasury Department, Secretary
Bristow is undoubtedly the right man,
in the right place.

EVERY citizen of the village should
take pride in its prosperity. Every one
should do all that is in his power to adj
vance its prosperity. IF all take pride
in the place, it is sure indication that
they will let no opportunity pass to
speak good word in its favor or do those
things which always rebounds to its
benefit. One of the most important
matters at this season of the year is for
all, collectively and severally, to enter
tain the strangers that come amongst us
in such manner that they will carry to
their homes pleasant recollections of the
place and its people. This is very i'm
portant- If Cheboygan ever becomes a
favorite summer resort it must be through
the influence of its citizens exerted in
the above named manner. The comfort
and pleasure of visitors should be looked
after by all, even if at times it should be
done through some little personal in
convenience. 1t is bread cast upon the
waters, but it will return doubly and
trebly augmented. Let every citizen
take pride in the place, it is worthy of
it, take pride in advancing its interests
and we will find it win pay larger divi-
dend than any other Investment.

CHEBOYGANAS n SUMMER
RESORT.

Cheboygan has many natural advan-
tages, by which with proper management,
it might be made very popular summer
resort. There is a very large class of
people who desire to leave the heat and
dust and turmoil of the city home, for a
short time during the summer, but who
10 not wish to undergo the hustle and ex-
element of the fashionable watering
places or summer resorts. Such as these
will find Cheboygan as pleasant place
as they need to seek. 1t is very quiet
place, still not in any sense monotonous.
Mackinaw, the great National Park,
and one of the most beautiful places in
the world, is within two hours ride,
which place can be visited any day in the
week; visitors remaining as-long as they
please. The rivers and inland lakes pre-
sent the best fishing that can be found in
any section of this great Northern coun-
try. The climates delightful and health
full, just that strong, clear and bracing
atmosphere that every invalid needs.
With all these advantages, Cheboygan
should have during the summer, much
larger number of visitors seeking health
and recreation than it has. 1t might
have if the proper effort were made to in
duce them to come here. All citizens of
the place should use their influence to in
duce people to come here. If this were
done it would surprise even themselves
what an effect it would have, and the
number of visitors which could be in
duced to come. The TRIBUNE simply
calls attention to this matter, telling as
sured that word to the wise is sufficient.
There is great future for this place as
summer resort, if we do not let pass the
opportunity.

IS 1T SHREWD ADDTER1IS-
ING?

About two weeks ago Prof. Donald
son, the well known areonaut, in COM
pany with a reporter, made an ascension
from Chicago in the interest of P. T.
Barnum, the great Snowman. Since that
time they have not been heard of, and the
general opinion among the press and
people is that they have met their death.
We would not be surprised they should
come to light soon. They may be dead,
but the circumstances seem little sus-
picious. Donaldson was in the employ
of p. T. Barnum, and everything that
Barnum is connected with must be adj
yertised. Barnum and Donaldson had a
consultation just before the ascension.
The balloon easily carried four persons,
and carried ballast enough to carry 1t
across the continent. Is it not possible
that a long trip is being made as an adj
yertising dodge, or that Mr.. Donaldson is
already in some secluded region awaiting
orders from the great Snowman to come
forth. The circumstances lookas though
this might be the case. Donaldson and
his companion may be dead, but If they
should be alive, would it not be pleas
ure for them to read the many obituaries
that have been printed regarding them.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1875-08-07


1t is now said, upon what may be con-
sideredreliable authority, that Mr.. James
f. Joy, President of the Michigan Cen
trail Railroad, in connection with the
eastern capitalists associated with him,
have been examining with care the out
look in regard to the Marquette and
Mackinaw Railroad, and are at present
considering the propriety of accepting the
land grant and entering at once upon
the construction of the new road. 1t is
to be hoped that this rumOr may be cor
rect. If it is, it means the early compile
ton of the Jackson, Lansing and Sagi-
nav road to Cheboygan. The Michigan
Central cannot but appreciate the inn
portance of securing direct communica-
ton with the great mining regions of
Lake Superior, and to obtain it they will,
when commenced push the road to an
early completion. 1t is also stated that
prominent citizens of Marquette have
had an appointment with Mr.. Joy to
close with him negotiations for the
building of the road. Mr.. Joy is at pres
ent in the east, it is stated upon pleas
ure excursion; but it is likely that con-
sultation with the capitalists connected
with the road may be had during his
visit, and it is highly probable that the
question regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
pushing the extension this season will
be decided upon there. Should this
prove to be the case there is no time to
be lost by Cheboygan in pushing her
claims for place on the road.

MANUFACTURING IN CHE
- BOYGAN. @

We would call the attention of the
many readers of this journal who reside
in different portions Of the state to the
advantages possessed by Cheboygan as
business and manufacturing location.
TO those wishing to enter into any manu-
featuring business we would say that
that there are few locations superior to
this. There is an inexhaustible water
power, an important consideration in
many classes of business. The facilitiesfor
the transportation of raw material and
manufactured work are not excelled by
any place in the state. Goods can be
shipped to and from this place by lake
at very low rates, being situated as it is
about midway in the great thoroughfare
of the lakes. Most especially is the loca-
ton desirable for the manufacture of
iron. 1t is near the large deposits of
iron in the upper peninsular, from which
piece it could be brought at trifing
cost. This point is in the midst of a
heavily timbered hard wood country,
making the supply of charcoal almost
inexhaustible, as well as cheap. Then
the manufactured iron can be sent in
every direction in every part Of the
country, cheaper than almost any place
where such mandatory already ex-
lists. A mandatory of iron in almost
anv Of ifs branches wOuld have q nor
centage here over almost any other place
in the country. We cordially invite
capitalists and manufacturers to come
and examine for themselves.

THE people on theshore of Lake Mich
igan, in this state, who looked with mere
curiosity at their colored snow last win
ter, which may have been the flying rem
nants of a volcanic storm of ashes, would
have had very different interest in it
had they seen an original storm falling
in Iceland. There it meant cruel power
ty, restitution, exile. 1t began early
Easter morning with rumbling noises,
Soon the air was filled with sand. A jet
black cloud began to move down from
the northwest. At IL o'clock the candles
had to be lighted and at noon the dark
ness was as dense as in house without
windows. Out of doors the fingers could
not be seen few inches from the eve.
Inside, the windows appeared like mir
rors, as if they had been coated with
quicksilver outside. Candles were need
ed four hours. Ashes and sand fell thick
and fast; there was tightening and thun-
der, and pinnacles and pikestaffs were
ablaze with electricity. When the dark
ness lifted it was found that three thous-
and square miles of country were covered
with ashes and lava and pumice stone to
depth of from two to eight inches. The
ashes were hot and sulpherous. Pasturage
was hopelessly gone and famine stared
the people in the face. They had to flee
at once as from pestilence or flood,
and the other districts barely subsisting
those who now live in them are over
crowded. This event adds one more to
the terrible outbreaks Of nature which
have been fighting mankind so fiercely
during the past twelve months. The
South American earthquakes, the grass
hopper plague, and the floods Of France,
will readily occur to the reader as among
the Others.
