FAIR DEALING.

The arguments in favor of fair dealing
are so obvious that it would hardly seem
necessary that there should be any COM
ments made upon this subject. Not only
reason seems to favor this course, but
the results are still more convincing.
Not only do the arguments and results
apply to individual transactions, but
they are as plainly seen in collective and
general transactions. Not only should a
person consider the effects that his acts
will have upon himself and his own bust
ness, but he should also consider the eff
feet upon the community. Oftentimes
the evil effects of unfair and dishonor-
able dealing will have far more lasting
and baneful effect upon community
than it apparently has upon the indi-
vidual transgressor. Especially is this
reasoning correct in reference to matters
which have direct or indirect effect
upon the reputation and growth of a
village or city.
The reputation Of city is formed
from and made up of individual acts. If
selfishness Is predominating trait In
the inhabitants of town, that town will
have a reputation Of selfshness, and all
the acts of the place in municipal ca
pacity will SAVIOR Of the predominating
element. II, on the other hand, the resi-
dents Of the place are generous, whole
souled people the place will have cor
responding reputation, and of course be
correspondingly popular, as the generous
man is more highly respected than the
selfish one.
Cheboygan, as city, Is in its infancy,
and if it reaches mature growth and hon
Orable age it must now be nurtured.
The present is the critical point In its
life. "As the twig is bent, so Is the tree
inclined" The reputation which Is now
being formed for the place Is the one
which will cling to it In after years. The
acts of individuals should In q certain de-
gree be governed by the effects they will
have upon the place. Any other policy
Is short sighted and ruinous. We are led
to make these remarks by the action of a
certain class of men who look more to
present gain than future and permanent
prosperity. The present season of the
year is the time that the residents of the
place can do much for or against the flu
ture of the place. The impressions
which strangers receive while here is
what is to give the place name abroad.
If those impressions are favorat lie we
viii see the effects in coming years; the
increased popularity of the place., nd in
the increased number of visitors. # un-
favorable, the effects will be ever more

The Cincinnati Gazette gives special
dispatches from 40 county-seats where
the late flood has occurred. As it general
ly turns out in such disasters, the damage
was less than at first reported. Wheat
and oats suffered most. Two-thirds of
the wheat crop will be saved, but less
than half the oats. Potatoes will afford
more than an average yield. The hay
crop is inferior in quality, but the guam
tity will not vary much from last year.

FIRE PROTECTION.

All the insurance companies doing bus
mess in this village feel certain that the
time is coming, sooner or later, when the
town is going to burn, and that just in
proportion as they have risks here will
they pay for the losses. ALI the risks they
take are upon that basis. For this reason
the rate of insurance is high here, no COM
pany feeling any great desire to push
business. There are few towns In the
state where insurance is as high as here.
Yet we have never had any very heavy
fires. This is simply good fortune.
Probably we have to pay as high rates for
insurance as Alpena, and that village has
lost by fire hundred thousand dollars to
our one. Those who make insurance a
business know full well that place like
this may find exemption for a few years
from the fire fiend, but they are also just
as well aware that when fires do touch
such town there is very little left OF it.
When that time will come no one can tell,
but be it sooner or later the insurance
companies are bound to be ready for it
by charging such rates that they can af-
ford to pay for the town every few years.
But the insurance companies here
would not be the principal losers, for the
rates are so high that comparatively few
people can afford to pay them, and the
sequel will prove that they could not af-
ford to do without it. When the loss
comes, as come it doubtless will, it will
be the ruin of many who have their all
in business and among the more thickly
settled locations. Already there has
been paid out in heavy insurance pre-
miums, sums of money large enough in
the aggregate to have supplied the village
with first-class fire protection; and the
decrease i'm the cost of insurance alone,
which would follow the putting in good
system of. fire protection, would more
than pay the interest on the cost of con-
struction, and would no doubt in few
years pay even their entire cost. After
the entire town is in ashes is very poor
time to consult regarding how the prop
erty might have been saved. The time
| to act is now, and what to do is place
such safeguards around the property
that it will be impossible for any great
amount of it to burn at once. This will
place the rates of insurance at figure
that all can pay, and thus give every
property holder feeling of security.
In just what way this shall be brought
about the TRIBUNE does not pretend to
say. There are many ways of accom-
plishing the same result. We shall advo-
cate the one that bids fair to give the
greatest amount of security for the least
expenditure of money.
We cannot expect the town to grow
much until this is done. Careful and
considerate business men hesitate about
investing their money in place where
they are liable at any moment, and with
out fault of their own, to berendered pen
niless. A good fire department, ably
managed, would do much towards at
tracing capitalists and business men
| to make investments here, while no other
plan that could be devised would domore
to retard the growth of the village than
the present do-nothing policy.

AN official statement of the foreign
commerce of the United States for the
twelve months ended June 80 shows the
imports for that period to have been,
merchandise, 1888, 500; specie, $780,
42l7; total, S559,s94,626. The exports
for the same period were, merchandise,
$512, 343,6 1S; specie, $92, 1872, 142; total,
$605, AIS, 760. Comparing that year with
the previous one, the imports of mer-
chandise show decrease of $34, 400, 033,
or about 6 per cent, while the exports of
merchandise show a decrease of $72,
93S, 423, or about II IA per cent. 1t
should be observed in connection with
this apparently large decrease that the
exports of merchandise for the previous
year were exceptionally large, having
been greater than during any other
period Of twelve months since the exist
ence Of the government. The total inn
ports, including specie, show decrease
of 81 $3.50, 1872, or about z per cent, while
the exports including specie show a de-
crease of $50, 562, 315, or about per cent.
1t is worthy of mention as fact not
generally known that the average Of both
imports and exports for the period of
two years since the panic has been con-
siderably greater than the average for the
preceding five years. The average excess
of exports for the past two years has
been $53.S00,0O0. The average excess of
imports for the preceding five years was
$55, 100000. These facts indicate two
things: First, that our commerce has
not suffered as much from the panic as
has generally been supposed; and, sec
ond, that an excess of exports does not
necessarily indicate remarkable degree
Of prosperity. Here is food for medita-
ton for both the hard-times croakers and
the 'sbalance Of trade" theorists.

Mr.. PRATT is satisfied with the returns
of the internal revenue bureau for the
first month of the fiscal year, and feels
confident that the receipts will be fully
up to expectations. He sees no reason
for the government being hard up for a

revenue faithfully. We trust Mr.. Pratt's
expectations will be fully realized.

THE Laramie (Wyoming) Sentinel says
that all the courts and elections held in
that territory were attended with drunk
enness, rowdyism, partiality and moral
weakness every way, until woman suf-
frage was adopted about seven years ago.
Whether or not that measure be the
cause of the wholesome change, now
their elections, no matter how heated the
campaign, go off as quietly as any other
social gathering, their grand juries are
prompt, and their courts decent and i'm

THE Richmond (Va.) Enquirer makes
very honorable explanation in regard
to Gen. Longstreet. 1t says he joined
with several other confederate officers in
an early movement for reconciliation and
an oblivion of all past difficulties between
the north and the south. The movement
proving unpopular at the south, all these
officers Withdrew excepting Longstreet.
He thought it was right and went ahead.
This is the head and front of his Offend
ing. For it he has been abused and per-
secuted by the boosted "chivalry."
THE public school question In Ireland
has been settled for the last 45 years by
permitting each principal denomination
to catechise its own children for half
hour each day in school-room, and ex-
Guiding all religious instruction the rest
of the time. The children, at the tap of
bell, disperse and gather together again
in the proper rooms for secular educa-
ton. More lately, however, Cardinal
Cullen, on the side Of the Catholics, and
few Protestant bishops, all extremists,
are causing little dissatisfaction. They
want their respective creeds to permeate
the very air of the school-rOOm from
morning till night.

TEE HALL TREADLE FOR SEWING MA

best one thus far, and acknowledge
by all to be "a perfect success, is the

its undoubted merit. 1t cannot be

principle upon which il acts is in

treadle six stitches can ba made to one

THE PARADISE sPECTER.


Ghosts-syhat it Looks Like and
said.
The "ghost of the MILL, or old man
Furrnan's spirit is the theme of gen.
eral conversation in Paradise Valley.
Even in this town there are many who
like to dwell on the subject, and in
fact it may be said to be the
SENSATION OF THE NIGHT
All over the Valley. AS anything cal
culated to throw light on this
spirit question is eagerly sought for by
many, we give the following, as it was
told us by Wesley Antram, a resident of
this town, who returned from Paradise
Valley last evening:
Mr.. AntraR says that week ago
last night he visited the mill for the
purpose of seeing and conversing with
the ghost, in the event of it's putting
IN an appearance, aud evincing dis
position to converse with him. He re-
paired to the mill, armed for the occas-
ion, and in company with one of the
msn employed there. About IL o, clock
at night he saw an object approaching
him, in the dim light afforded by
candle which was burning at the time.
1t was dark colored object,
SHAPED SOMEWHAT LIKE MAN,
The shoulders and lower part of the
body being large and bolky, and the
waist not much thicker than man 6
arm. lie was expecting the ghost at
the time, and its appearance did not
alarm him much. He says that be
does not believe in ghosts, yet as it
steadily advanced toward him, he was
a little frightened at its unnatural
shape and cried, Halt, Keep your
hands off; I'm prepared for you. :"
The appariion in reply numbled some
words which he did net understand.
Antram then asked, What do you
want? Do you want anything of me?"
The shadow in reply, said: My
name is Furman; buried 81 600 in n
pot near this mill, and l want my boy,
who lives in New York, and is in desti-
| tute circumstances, aud III need of the
money, to get it, The ghost then be-
came interrogative, and asked, Who
are you? Will you come back here?
Antram informed it that he would,
and the ghost said: Well, l will have
another interview with you
This ended the conversation and the
| apparltion passed on toward the end of
the mill. Antrain attempted to grasp
its arm as it passed him, but found
NO SUBSTANCE TO TAKE HOLD OF, :
As the arm separated where he tried to
catch 1t. aud reunited as the shadow
passed on toward the end of the build
ing and disappeared. Mr.. Antram
avows his intention of again visiting
the mill. when business calls him in
that direction, and holding another in
terview with the ghost.

HIS FIRST INyEsTMENT.--A gentle
man who lives not over a thousand
miles from here, concluded sometime
since that making fortune in stocks
was much easier than doing so by hard
work, and that all that was necessary
was to make judicial investment.
Accordingly he purcLa 'ed what seemed
to be the "shares that would insure
him trip to the Centennial at least, on
the profits. He next purchased a fine
turkey with the mental understanding
that as soon as he doubled his invest
ment, a feast should be given at
which the fatted turkey was to figure
conspicuously, or in other words when
the shares went up, the turkey was to
60 down. The Virginia fire came, aud
shares went 'off " fifty per cent. be-
low first cost of our friends stock;
and to make the matter worse, to day
the turkey died. He thinks now that
he will 60 it on the put" and "call
plan, that is put his money in real
estate and call for turkey at meal time.
