The nose OF Senator Jones, Of Nevada, will
probably be out OF JOINT with the fashionables
nd upper tendonis at Washington, now that
Sharon. the newly elected Senator from that
State, ~ said to be worth seven times as many
millions Of dollars as Jones is. 1t is not settled
yet that il cost Sharon as much money to get
elected as it did Jones, which latter fact may
enable Zones TO maintain his position as the
man who pad the largest sum for seat IN the
U. s. Senate. This matter needs to be settled,
so that people may know whether 1t Is the
amount O. money 1t cost to get elected or the
amount OF money a Senator owns that give
precedence.
Our Circuit Court commenced its session
last monday, Judge Coolidge presiding. The
criminal calendar OF course was first in order,
and the tirst case taken up was that Of the Rev.
j. II. 7,oee, charged with the crime OF Forgery.
1tw,ll he recollected that in this case the ac-
cused had not disposed OF the Mortgage claimed
to have teen forged but had gathered up his
pn,ers and departed when he found that his
negotiation was likely to prove Ruthless
The alleged forged papers not being in the
possession OF the prosecution it was necessary
to resort 10 the alternative of oral testimony
to show the import and contents. But before
this could be done It was incumbent on the
prosecution to serve the respondent with no.
tce 60 produce the mortgage and notes on
which tho prosecution was founded. II seems
that the public prosecutor had neglected to do
this, the effect OF which neglect or oversight
was, that no foundation had been laid for the
introduction OF evidence to show the contents
and import OF the documents. At this point
the further proceeding with the case was
barred; and the only thing to be done was for
the court TO discharge the respondent Ross
which was promptly done.
On Tuesday, Ross Was again arrested on
like charge for Forgery and taken to Berrien
County, where he will be held 10 await his trial.
Early one morning last fall, our "Snails

In IN editorial on che starting o. newspapers
the Grand Rapids Post makes the following
truthful observations:
The 8tarting OF newspapers is a dangerous
experiment, Every day 1t is becoming more
difficult The tendency towards Capitalization

as the country becomes older and mail facilities
are multiplied. The time has gone by when the
public can be relied upon TO sustain any news
paper as a matter OF friendship or duty.
The publisher is sure to be disappointed

capital, eliill and enterprise. Ii he makes a
better paper than his competitors people will, |
after time, take it, not to help him along, but
Themselves. 1t will not do SIMPLY to make as
good paper ae those already establlshed-to
