The North Carolina election for dele

Texas mentions for Mr.. Hamilton's
seat in the United States Senate: Gov.

The National Union party, with Gen:
n. P. Banks for President, and l.. @. G..
Lamar, of Mississippi, as Vice President,
was organized at Boston, Saturday night,
by appointing State Central Committee
and adopting platform and resolutions.
Mr.. Fred. Hassaurek. editor of the
Cincinnati Volksblatt, the real leader OF
the German Liberals Of Ohio, writes that
he cannot by his vote endorse the finan-
cial heresies of the Democratic State
platform He will, therefore, ''under
the circumstances, vote fer Gen. Hayes"
Gov Porter, of Tennessee, has appoint
ed D. M. Key to succeed ex-President
johnson in the United States Senate.
A Courter-Jo,vnal's Nashville special
says Mr.. Key has not figured much in
Tennessee politics. He is man OF 40
years, decided talent, diffident, retiring
and very popular in his own section, but
is not GENERALLY known throughout the
state.
The sudden death at Saratoga of the
Hon VIM. a. Graham, one of the arbitra-

Again we would call the attention Of
the citizens of Cheboygan to the import
ance of taking some action definite in its
nature looking toward the opening OF
navigation through our inland lakes.
This matter is one of great Importance
and should not be permitted to slumber
until it is in that state of completion which
will allow the passage of light draught
vessels to say the least. Comparatively
speaking the expense is trifling. If this
town expects to have large resources in
the future it must take advantage OF
them now and evermore. Nothing should
be permitted to pass tinnoticed without
being handled in that progressive and
energetic manner which make all things
even those of themselves of insignifi-
cant value, rebound to the improvement
of the place. No passing advantage
should ever be lost, for once lost it can
never be regained. All the time that is
now lost in completing the work neces-
sary to make these lakes navigable, will
Getract proportional amount from the
future benefit that it will be to this place.
Already the country west of central
dividing line between here and PetOskey
is settling ap much more rapidly than on
fills side. This, of course, is not nearly
AS beneficial to Cheboygan as if the set
Elements were more numerous this way
The opening of this proposed channel
would no doubt turn the tide of emigra-
ton this way, for it would give the set
tier the advantage of an easy, cheap and
auick mode of transportation which nc
other section of the country affords, on
advantage which 10 enterprising person
would be slow to recognize or improve
Not only would it have the effect of in
ducing settlement upon the splentlit
farming lands adjacent to and surround
ing Cheboygan, but it would bring ;
CREST share of the business Of the already
large and prosperous settlements west o.
Maple River to this point, because thi:
would be not only the best trading point
but the easiest of access. This point
once gained cannot be taken from us by
any rival place on the west shore.
The natural outlet of all produce is
eastward. The products of the country
embraced in the scope of this improve
ment may not be large for a few years
yet to come, but the time isaot far dis
tant when it will export its products
With this improvement they will natu-
rally seek an outlet here; without it they
will find the nearest point for market
1t seems to us that the citizens of this
place have not, nor do not even now
realize the great advantage that this
would be to Cheboygan now and for all
time to come. There is no place in North
ern Michigan that possesses these adj
vantages. If we do not improve them
it is our own fault, and we must, as q
city, suffer the consequences Of our leth-
argy.

A NON-POLITICAL VIEW OF a PCLITI.
CAL SUBJECT.

The TRIBUNE does not pretend to be a
political paper, therefore all the views it
gives upon questions of a political ma
ture will be given from non-political
standpoint. To a certain extent the
question of who shall be the next Gov
ernor of Michigan is political one, and
to that extent it may not be the PROV
ince Of o nOn-poltical paper to discuss.
There are, however, questions connected
with this matter which are of public i'm
'pOrtancc, aside from their public nature.
Among the matters which may thus be
classed is the question of location. AL
though even the nominating eonven-
tons are yet year or more away, a large
number of Journals in the southern part
of the state are already endeavoring to
influence public opinion in favor of their
favorite candidates, and so far those can
didates reside invariably in the southern
part of the state. The Clam Lake NclOs
has already protested against this sum
mary manner of ignoring the claims of
the northern section of the state to this
Office. The Ne,us advocates northern
man upon political grounds. The TRIB-
UNE will advocate the claims of north
ern men for other ami more important
reasons. For years the state officers have
been selected from the southern portion
Of the state. At the time this order of
business was commenced this was prob
ably right, as the main interests of the
state were centered III that section.
Times are now changed. The vast Wild
erness Of the north is now teeming with
civilization. The inhabitants are rapidly
increasing, cities and towns are building
up, and vast business enterprises of i'm
portance to the entire state are being es-
tablished. The future rank of the state
depends upon the great resources of the
northern part of the state. These vast
interests should be properly fostered.
This can only be done by placing man
in the executive chair of the state, who
is thoroughly conversent with these re-
sources, and the requirements for their
proper Development. No man from the
southern part of the state can know the
needs of this country as one who has re-
sided here, and has for years assisted in
its past Development.
The people of the south have no COM
prehensive idea of the requirements of
the resources of this section, and having
none, how can we expect that they can
satisfactory look after our affairs. The
north has never had. governor. 1t is
time she had. There are menin the north
who are fully posted in our particular
requirements as well as those of the state
generally, and who should, we think, be
acceptable to all portions Of the state.
We want man in that position, not to
work for the southern part Of the state
the less, but the northern part the more;
ia man who will always have his section
at heart. and will see that all that can be
done will be done to advance its interests.

THE CENTENNIAL.

The Centennial Commissioners of this
state, recently appointed by the Gov
ernor, held a meeting at the Governors
office on the Goth fol the purpose of COM
pleting their organization, and max
ing arrangements for carrying out the
purpose for which they were appointed.
1t was decided that while the commits
sioners shall act together in all respects,
each shall pay especial attention to some
particular interest. Commissioner Hub
bell, the ores and minerals and products
of the Upper Peninsular; Commissioners
Mills and Frolick, the manufactures and
machinery; Commissioner Woodman,
the products of the soil; the Governor,
the sciences and arts. Commissioner
Woodman was appointed to attend all
the fairs in the state to make arrange
ments for the exhibition of fruits, cereals,
&c, while Commissioner Hubbell, to-
gether with the state geologist, were in
structed to prepare pamphlet setting
forth the extent and value of the mineral
resources of the state. The commission
ers prepared and have issued to the peo-
pie of the state the following address:
To the People of the State of Michigan:
OFFICE OF THE STATE CENTENNIALl
BOARD OF MANAGERS,
Reonf II, Bank Block. Detroit.
The undersigned, State Board Of Cen
tennial Managers, realizing the important
duty resting upon them of preparing and
securing a proper exhibit of the pro-
ducts of the state in the approaching In
ternational Exposition and Centennial
Celebration at Philadelphia, earnestly
appeal to the farmers, mechanics, miners,
manufacturers. inventors and producers
of Michigan and to all others interested
for their material aid and assistance in
the proper representation of our state.
We will not discuss the importance of
an exhibition of this kind or the benefits
to be derived from it individually or col
lectively. The interests turthered by
such an exhibition are vital and take the
widest range. 1t cannot be expected
shat another opportunity will occur in
This generation at all comparable o'this.
Michigan, like all her sister states, will
occupy space ut this exhibition to show
what she has done since her Organiza-
ton, by systematic exhibit OF her to-
Biography, the natural products Of her
soil and mines, the growth of her rana-
features and her advancements in the
arts and sciences; statistics showing her
growth since her organization, and last,
though not least, the advantages Michi-
gan presents for immigration and the in
ecstment of capital. With almost un-
limited resources and natural advantages
in extent and variety unrivaled by any
other state in the Union, soil and eli
mate capable of growing all the products
of the temperate zone; with vast depos-
its of unequaled mineral wealth; with
scientific inventors and skilled artisans,
the state has every essential requisite
to render her department attractive and
creditable Upon you, however, rests
the responsibility and labor necessary to
make a proper exhibit in this Interna-
tional Exposition, where the products OF

ACCORDING to the SGnitGTiafl's tabu-
lar statement of the mortality in the large
cities Of the United States during the
mouth of July, Detroit does not make
the most favorable showing. The num-
Der of deaths from all causes to each
1000 inhabitants is reported as follows:
New York, AZ; Nashville, 80; Brooklyn,
Chicago and Richmond. 81 each; Wash
ington and Detroit. 30 each; Philadelphia,
20; Boston, %; Baltimore and Toledo, ~;
Cincinnati, "a; st. Louis, %. The most
healthfill city in the list is Elmira, N. Y,
which, with population of over 10000,
only reports 80 deaths during the month.
The greatest mortality was in New York
city, where the table shows that nearly
two-flfths Of the whole number OF deaths
was of children under 5years of age.

A CURIOUS decision in regard TO the
value of woman's beauty has been made
by the United States District Court OF
Oregon. Emertine Koch, German girl
aged nineteen years, was bruised on
board a steamer from San Francisco to
Portland By the rolling of some boxes OF
tin in the Storage, which inflicted q per-
manent and disfiguring Scar on her fore
head. The judge decided that every wo-
man, however poor or humble, had law
full right to the best possible chance to
obtain husband; and az this was the
chief end of her existence, personal
comeliness became matter of import
ance. The jury gallantry gave her $4,000
damages, which will have to be paid in
gold, and may afford good dowry to
some sutton who don't care for the dis
figurement. ~ ra

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mrs. LINCOLN has SO far improved as
to be discharged from the asylum in
which she was recently confined.

Our state constitution provides against
Legislative sponging the treasury by pro-
longed extra sessions in the clause which
allows the members to draw pay for
only twenty days. In the new constitu-
ton of Missouri the same purpose is
aimed at by provision that the members
shall receive So per day for the first sew
enty days, and only 81 per day after that.
MRS. HICKS, of Kentland, Ind, is a
Bible agent who seems determined that
the glad tidings shall be carried to every
household in the land. Mrs. Hicks is
nergetic-perhaps trifle too energetic
lin the good work. A short time since
she found a young man named Sutton
who had no Bible and wouldn't take one.
She shot him in the leg. On Monday q
man named Moses Kinney who, in addi-'
ton to having no Bible, was drunk,
passed her house, and was fatally shot by
