TuE''fear that the Connecticut Demo-
Gratis would be captured by the imitation
lists has proved utterly groundless. The
state convention was held last week, all
the present state officers were renOmina-
ted, and platform was adopted which
has the ring of the true metal-gold
money.

Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-03-04

The Senate has passed the military
academy appropriation bill, adding only
$4,000 to the estimates of the House.
This shows that the Senate will not dare
resist the work of economy which is be-
ing carried out by the House. The
programme is reduction of 100000,
and the House committee think this pro-
gramme is practicable.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-03-04

THE Democratic Congressional caucus
committee have failed thus far to patch
up any kind oil compromise between the
hard and soft money members. There is
little doubt, however, but the negOtia-
tons will finally end with an agreement
to amend that portion of the resumption
act providing for specie payments in 1879.
If the House takes this action, the Senate
will undoubtedly defeat it, and thus the
parties will stand before the people-the
Democrats for imitation and the Republic
cans for resumption-no matter what the
conventions may do.

TITS announced that Gen. Sheridan
has received orders that the miners and
Others in the Black Hills, or going there.
are not to be disturbed by the military,
but are to be protected against attacks
from the Indiads. This being true, those
who desire to go into the Black Hills can
do so without fear of being driven out
again.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-03-04

THE affairs of Plymouth church are as
Stunning lower tone every day. The
scene in Pastor Halliday's house few
evenings since, when the committee Of
the church, to the number of forty or
fifty persons, surrounded Bowen an at-
tempted to detain him by force, bordered
painfully on ruffianism, and certainly was
a breach of common law. Whatever may
be said of Bowen's character, the public
are hardly prepared to hear with patience
of his imp. isonment by committees of
Plymouth church without warrant or
process of law. We have heard Of SINH
lar eases elsewhere, where members UNI
dergoing church discipline have been for
chilly detained, and it would seem from
the action of the Plymouth committee
that Rome is not the only ecclesiastical in
stitution that assumes to rise above the
civil law.

ing Mr.. Whites bill was then read, ant
the yeas and nays being called resulted
as follows: yeas "a, nays 81. A recon
sidederation was then called for and Il
lay the same on the table. Some discus
sionswas had on the matter when Mr.
