Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1876-05-06

At the regular meeting of the council
last Monday night a proposition was
made by some of the members of the
council to sell the lamps purchased for
lighting the streets, to private parties. A
vote being taken on the question it was
decided by four to two not to sell them.
We think this wise conclusion, and are
of the opinion that after they have been
lighted for sufficient length of time to
enable our citizens to appreciate the ad-
vantage of having the streets Ii GIFTED that
they would not be willing to be without
them.
Mr.. Crane, the contractor for lighting
the lamps, has been disappointed in get
ting his oil from the parties he depended
on, in time to commence lighting the
lamps at the time set by the council, but
expects to be able to to light them reg
ularly soon. AS we are enjoying the
benefit of the moon just at this time, the
loss of light from the street lamps is not
so much felt as it would be was it not
moonlight In some places where the
streets are lighted with gas, they do not
light the lamps at all when the moon
shines bright. Mr.. Crane intends, how
ever, to fulfill his contract and expects
his oil to arrive every day.

Rev. Mr. Males Farewell Service.

Last Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Maile
preached his farewell sermon, closing a
very successful passionate of nearly five
years. In accordance with an invitation
extended the Methodist church Joined in
the services, in which Mr.. Male was as
sisted by Rev. w. III. Ware. The capacity
of the church was fully tested, every seat
being filled. while some had to remain
standing. This was highly compliment
airy to Mr.. Male, and showed the estima-
lion. in which he is held by the people.
During the opening services Mr.. Maile
read some very appropriate passages
from the Scriptures, and taking his text
from l Corinthians, IL; 1, 2, he
preached a very able and effective SER
mon. At the close of the sermon, Rev.
Mr.. Ware gave very brief outline of
the work accomplished by Mr.. Maile
since coming to Cheboygan, which he
had taken pains to collect, and which
gave all a better idea of the difficulties
with which Mr.. Male had contended
than they before had. Mr.. Ware closed
with some very complimentary remarks
regarding Mr.. Male and his labors. Mr..
Maile has been very conscientious
worker, and wherever it may be his for
tune to locate he will cary with him the
best wishes of our entire community.

rItE CENTENNIAL.

The report of the Judiciary Com
r,ittee to whom was referred the blu
asking Congress to make an appropri-
oti,n for the Centennial celebration of
tba National Independence, will
doubtless be taken as decisive of the
coustitutionality of that measure. If
Congress has the p over to make the
desir, appropriation, we trust it will
evarcise it. For various reasons we
have not hitherto taken any very great
interest in the Philadelphia Centen-
,,ial. but now looking at it as means
to accomplish great end. our interest
grows apace.
The views Of our esteemed Georgia
cotemporary, the Macon 1ctegral'hatd
Afcsu5lgcl', are SO fully III accord with
onr own on this subject, that we repro
duce them. 1t says:
We know the country is terribly
poor, aud getting no richer very fast.
We know he people are ground to the
earth bv taxation, but on the question
Of mere money loss, we are confident
the refusal of the Southern members

ton Itself; because such refusal Will

of the appropriation will be held ev-
erywhere us a manifestation of the
spirit Of sectional comfy, of practical
adhesion to the Union and the Govern
mcnt and its history, traditions and
reputation, which viii confound the
Radical traders III sectional discord.
As to the constitutional question, WE
are by DO means clear, and want to
hear from those who have investigated

And StiIL They Come.

The Boston Post declares Colonel
Waddells speech to be "the best re
ply yet" made to Mr.. Blaine. It says
Mr.. Wadden met the Blaine bate
ry in the way it ought to have been
met at the first. Blaine's purpose
was to stir up q sectional war, in order
to head off Morton In the Nominating
Convention. Fortunately he failed
in his dastardly effort, for dastardly it
must be regarded in this Centennial
year. The tane of Mr.. Waddells
speech leaves him just nothing to
stand upon. He offered the soft an
swer that turneth away wrath. And
he greatly increased its effect by an
nouncing that, instead of the Southern
members being driven from the sup
port of the Centennial Appropriation
by the occurrence of last week, they
would now vote for it on purpose to
Sc, timely example of patriotism. IF
Mr.. Blaine is still alive, he cannot
but feel mortally ashamed.
The Augusta COalstitutioalaLists says 4:
This language of the gallant North
| Carolinian well matches the eloquent
words of Gen. Banks, and towards
those men, one from Massachusetts
and the other from the Old North
State, majority of the people of all
sections will tura with pride and adnli-
ration. The mere politicians brought
on the war between the States; the
mere politicians are chiefly to blame
for the war of unfriendly Legislation
since the war in the field; and the mere
politicians, out of vanity and selfish
ambition, will Keep up sectional ha
treds and iealousies, if they are Per
mitted tD do so. Wherefore, Mr..
Waddsll deserves the thanks of every
patriot for his rebuke to the agitators
who are alone hinderiDg a restoration
of fraternity and prosperity.

AMONG the newspapers in England

AMONG the newspapers IN England
which ceased to exist with the old
year are included, says a London cor
respondent, all the religious papers
which were started during Moody and
Sankey's revival. "They had a large
circulation while the American EVAN
gslists' were here, and one journalist
is said to have made 9l,2OO in three
months, chiefly by publishing Mr..
Moody's sermons. But the rage has
come to an end now, and with it the
journals which have lived upon it."

LIZ the stories told about the rich
ness of the new gold mines in Wyom-
ing are true, that hitherto precious
metal may at no distant day lose it's
value as basis for circulating me-
dium. According to the statements
of those interested, the main lode, ap-
propriately called the Centennial, is a
