tion, so much Of that, and so much
of the other. Two or three car
loads at time, just as it suits the
customers, go from these nils, and

From the Lumbcrman's Gazette.
The promise of the winter is for
full lumber market, and conse-
quently sales lag and are only made
at satisfactory prices and terms.
No one can seriously expect a lively
market during the coming season
but whether it will be only as bad
as last year, or something even
worse, cannot be told. II is the
part Of wisdom to provide IL posi-
BILE for the worst. In this view
there are some considerations
worthy Of attention just now, when
the plans for the saving season are
yet to be perfected. Fa'.-
In dull market the buyer has
every advantage. He may not only
dictate terms relying upon the
necessities Of some among the sell
lers, to bring them to his figures,
but he may and will insist upon
various points never thought of
when the pressure is on the other
side. Last season afforded many
examples OF this. Buyers were
over-particular in all respects they
would, in short, buy Just AZ they
pleased, or not at all. In the great
distributing markets also, the mi
nor points here alluded to had and
will always have a weight largely
In proportion TO the dullness of the
market. Excellence OF manufac-
ture told as 1t never could In live
ly rushing market. This is espec-
Tally true Of the Eastern markets,
to which a very large part Of Mich
igan product goes. Our Canadian
correspondent, aludes TO this mat
ter in connection with the Ottawa
mills. He lays down o rule and
commends IL TO the attention of
mill men, which will be novel to
many OF the Western manufactur-
ers. "Run your saws not SO much
to get out a large amount Of lumber
as to get good lumber" The mat
ter Is worth attention, surely. ~"
There is another consideration
which addresses itself especially to
the large mills in the river districts
rs against the inland mills, or those
which ship mainly or only by rail.
These latter cut their products into
whatever shspes beet suit the mar

The Utica Herald Republican,
uses very plain words in its denun-
citation Of the Louisiana outrage.
After asking the question whether
the Republican party can make it
self responsible for all the impurities
in Louisiana, and for a prolonga-
ton and aggravation Of the exist
ing ruinious state Of things by con-
tinuing to sustain Kellogg, 1t says:
The Republican Senatorial eau
Gus has said yes. We say no and
there we shall continue to stand.
We are opposed to the further use
Of the United States army to sus-
tain a government that cannot sus-
tain itself. We are opposed to the
use Of the United States army to
sustain a government, which, in
its efforts to sustain itself, resorts
to such unblushing frauds as those
perpetrated by the returning
board. We are opposed to the use
of the United States army to sus-
tain a government which is not
wanted by the people it rules
which is not believed by them to
be rightfully in power; which is
guilty Of objectionable violations
of law; which is sucking the life
blood out of the State; and which
above all, is not Republican in form
or fact, and is therefore unconsti-
tutional.

As the great Brooklyn scandal
trial progresses appearances are
more and more against Beecher.
One fact that has come out is that
the "great preacher" on May 81,
1873, wrote a letter to the trustees
Of Plymouth Church rendering his
resignation. In it Beecher said :
"For two years / have stood with
great sorrow among YOU, in order
TO shield from shame q certain
household. Since a recent publi-
cation makes this no longer possible,
! resign my ministry and retire to
private life.' This was written by
Mr.. Beocher soon after the appear
ance Of the Woodruff exposure.
Mr.. Moulton, however, persuaded
him not to forward 1t to the Trus-
tees, and Mr.. Tilton threatened to
shoot him il, by such a confession,
he should destroy Mrs. Tilton's
character. The result was that
Beecher did not resign, and his let
ter Of resignation IL now, for the
hrst time, made public.

ton the New York Times says:
The position in which the Rep
lican party is put by the report OF
the Congressional committee is a
grave one. The simple fact, which
cannot be evaded, is that the mil

tons to sustain Gov. Kellogg, in

islature to a majority fraudulently

have been consummated if the Mar

the honesty and the common sense
to oppose it. These, facts remain
after all is conceded that is claimed
in regard to the prinaa .t;zcie valid
ity OF the returns made by the
board, and it is by such obvious
and general facts that the response
bility Of the party will be measured,
no matter what technical defenses
may be proposed, He is no friend
of the Republican party, and no
true a1herant to the principles

ed in Louisiana in the name Of the

the general of the army by his
subordinate, in addressing an OIL
cial public letter, over Sherman's
head TO the Secretary Of War.
Sherman has been kept for lesser
and greater radical davis to peck
at ever since his crime Of cutting
the confederacy in two with a
slight slaughter of troops. Had
he battled insanely at impregnable
positions and .butchered his sol
hers by the score of thousands as
Grant did at Cold Harbor and else
where. radicalism would have pet
ted him with gifts, glory, and third
term prospects. But he sliced
rebellion in twain with minimum
loss of life, and put an end to Sc
cession, and has been a target for
afTront from that time to this.
He was berated for foul traitor
on account of his magnamity in
the Johnston surrender. Then he
was given the Dead Sea fruit OF
Grants vacated position as general,
only to find his mouth full of ashes
every time he undertook to take a
natural bite of authority. His
very first order after assuming
this Office was spit upon by his un-
derlings, and he was publicly in
suited by having all its require
ments revoked. The lesson was
that the Office of general ceased to
be one Of rank and power the in
slant it was dropped by Grant
Surprising it had been held by the
latter up to to-day. Who believes
that its incumbent would have
been allowed to suffer the sneers
of every understrapper; the insult
of Custer, Rawlins, Babcock and
Sheridan Z
Mortified beyond endurance by
series of personal affronts lasting
through years. the honest soldier
could brook his Washington exis-
tence no longer. He withdrew his
headquarters to q distant and more
friendly city. But radical insolence
can span a continent. Sherman is
wantonly ignored, and in these
days of swift mails and lightning
telegraph, his subordinates are
commanded and respond over the
head of the man whom the law
recogizes as the head of the army,
though no eyigeney exists which
might warrant such violation of
discipline. The Office Of general
now has a being only that its oc-
cupants may be a shining mark
for administration derision and
scorn.-ChicagO Times.

The national need for a general
at the head Of an army is now per-
fcctly manifest. Every well-organ-
lied military establishment should
have something whichit can snub
and insult. In Germany the priest
hood is the object Of its affront ;
10 Spain it is the whole civic fab
rio; England sustains municipal
police organizations principally
that they may be over awed and
rebuffed now and then by army
attaches. The American plan is
the simpler and more direct. It
consists in creating an overwise
useless Office giving 1.-THE highest
Of titles, and then placing in it a
man Of corresponding eminencc
solely for the purpose Of insulting
him whenever convenient.

standardized Christinncy.

Judge Christiancy has just been
elected by the Michigan Legisla-
ture to serve in the United States
Senate for the term of six years,
beginning with the 4th of March
next, has been for the past seven
teen years a Justice of the Su-
preme Court of the State. The
great confidence reposed in him by
the people, without distinction of
party, has been well shown by the
fact that after his first election to
the court in 1857, there was no
opposition whatever to his election
in 1865 and 1873. How admirably
he has aquitted himself upon the
Supreme bench is well known, and
the many encomiums he has re
ceived have been well deserved. A
man Of large experience and Of
great practical knowledge he has
been bright ornament to the
bench Of Michigan, and he can be
depended upon to serve the people
with the same absolute fidelity, the
same singleness Of purpose, the
same purity and integrity in the
Senate of the United States that
he has judicial capacity. For
nearly forty years Judge Christian
cy has been resident of Michigan,
coming here in 1886 at the age of
twenty-four. Before his election
to the Supreme bench he had taken
a prominent part in politics. In
1913 he identified himself with
the Free Soil party, and attended
the Convention at Buffalo in that
year which was participated in by
a number Of men of eminence. In
1s49 he was elected TO the State
and in 1852 was tho can
didate of the Free Soil party for
Governor Of Michigan. II is
worthy Of note that at this election
the candidates besides Mr.. Christ
iancy were Governor Robert Nc
and Zachariah. Mr.. Christ
fancy completed his legal studies
with the former, and the latter was
the candidate Of the Wings. At
this election Governor McClelland
was reelected, receiving 42,79S
votes to $4,000 Zacha,iah Chandler
md $3.50 for Isaac p. Christiancy.
Mr.. Ch,istiancy took an active
part in the organization of the
Republican party in this State,
and was one Of the delegates to
the Philadelphia Convention d Of
1856 which nominated Fremont for
The Presidency. He then pur-
chased the Monroe Commercial,
changing its politics from Demo-
,ratic to Republican and was for
\ short time it's editor. In 1857
he was strongly supported by
many Republicans for, United
States Senator, and the party NOM
mated was finally obtained by
zachariah Chandler, who then Sc
cured his first election to the Unit
ID States Senate. In April, 1857, |
Mr. Christiancy was chosen Jus
ice Of the Supreme Court, and |
vas reelected without opposition
n 1865 and again in 1873. Since
ne has been upon the bench he has
entirely from politics.
