REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
SHALL THE OPPORTUNITY BE
LOST.

A successful business man never give
up an enterprise which he once under.
takes. Before undertaking a new ven.
ture he looks carefully over the ground
and makes up his mind regarding the
prospects of success, and the risks com.
pared with the results to be obtained
All doubts about the desii ablencss of the
success of the venture, are settled before
the commencement. After that, there is
10 looking back. no letting up of exer-
ton. Should unlocked for obstacles
arise in the way, it only has the effect OF
making him redoublc his exertions. 1t
is this principle in business which has
made him counted by the world as a sue
cessful business man.
The same element in town. will
make it successful town, a growing
town will make a village city. There
are many men in every part of the coun-
try, there are those in this place who are
poor to-day because they have not had
the nerve to grapple with opportunities
as they presented themselves, and they
have passed unimproved. There are
many villages in the state which might
have been cities, had the residents pos
s,ssed the nerve and enterprise to i'm
prove opportunities at the proper time.
One OF the great wants of Cheboygan
to-day, and perhaps the chief one, is a
dry dock. 1t cannot be obtained without
some exertion on the part of Our citizens.
One or two men should not he, cannot
be expected to do all that is required to
secure to al, the benefits which would
come from such an establishment. There
should be united action on the part of all.
Ii the same apathy prevails i'm the future
rs seems to have been the case i'm the
past, this Year will pass as did last year,
and Cheboygan will be no nearer having
dry dock than she has been.
With the proper enterprise i'm this mat
ter, and the same energy which good
business man would devote to an enter
prise which would have the same effect
OF improvement upon his private busi-
ness, dry dock could be started here
this season, not completed, perhaps. but
the commencement made. If it is not
done it will be the fault of Cheboygan.
1t cannot lay the blame anywhere else.
There is very great risk in waiting.
There is only one dry dock required in
this section of the state. Some place
more enterprising than Cheboygan may
secure it while We are quietly waiting to
see if something will not turn up, so that
we may secure it without exertion. The
opportunity once gone, will never come
again. Now is the accepted time and
should be improved. The town should
look upon it, as would good business
man, and act accordingly.

In CANvASsING the prospects for the
Cincinnati nomination 1t is well not to
forget that in the not far distant past the
Republican party was well nigh betrayed
by some of its leaders. We refer, of course,
to the pc riod when certain ambitious gen
tlemen were so jealous of President Grant
as to jeopardize the interests and principles
of the party for the purpose of destroying
the Third Term bugsboo. When the bill
to Protect the Electors. e., the ;.,Force"
biil-was pending in the House these gen.
tlemen fought it not only on the floor, but in
caucus, simply on the ground that in their
opinion it placed in his hands the power
to re-elect himself. In their attempts to
eliminate this power from the bill, they
first emasculated, and second, delayed its
passage through the House until the end
of the session, go that the Senate did not
have time to act upon it. The effect of
this action was to leave the Republicans Of
the South without protection against the
murderous and proscriptive tyranny Of the
White Leaguers and Ku Klux Democracy
Of that section. This has been aptly illus
trated by the remark that while these NAL
contents, for they were nothing less, aimed
to hit the rider they wounded the horse.
In other words, while they attempted to
destroy President Grant, they succeeded in
injuriug the Republican party. 1t is well
to remember these facts, because they serve
to indicate the character of the persons al
luded to, and to show how far they can be
trusted with power. There are men who
make gallant fight when they are in the
minority, but who begin to temporize with
their enemies the instant they get into the
majority

THE venerable "Turfman" who edits
the Sunday Herald has decided that the
starting of the two horses on Friday, Pala-
din and Burgoo, in the last heat, to which
our report entered an exception, was fair.
He adds that the start was satisfactory to
the Judges, who must have known better
than the reporters. Such weight of gu
thority convinces US against our sight even.
But this decision would have been more
acceptable if it had come unaccompanied
with the unkind accusation of unfair
jockeying against the rider of Paladin,
who was all the time little in the rear of
Burgoo at the starting place. 1t is not
easy to see how he could expect to take
advantage of Burgoo's rider in that way,
especially as he had the inside by reason Of
winning the last preceding heat. On the
contrary, Burgoo, being more than length
ahead when he got the word, was at once
pulled in to the pole, to the disadvantage
of his antagonist. This had quite an unfair
look to those 'fyros ofthe localpress, "as the
venerable turfman of the Herald elegantly
designates the turf reporters Of the daily
press. The ancient editor of the Sunday
Herald and Weekly National Iatslliyenesr
is wont to be more polite to these "tyros
of the local press" when he desires favora-
BILE notices of the meetings of the Jockey
Club before they take place. Our reports
of the races were not only unbiased, but
reflected the universal sentiment, so far as
we were able to learn, of dlsinterested
spectators

THE exoneration Of Senator Spencer by
the unanimous report of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections was to have been
expected, and the fact that Senator Sauls-
bury Joined in 1t should serve to put an
end to the adverse criticisms of the 0ppo-
sition which have bean heaped upon his
head without stint as well as without rea-
son. From the outset this journal charac-
terized the testimony against him as ez
pdrte and hearssy, and the report of the
committee supports that Characterization.
The result will probably have some weight
in settling the unseemly strife between
Alabama Republicans which now threatens
to end in sending two contesting delega-
tions to Cincinnati.

as the parties who have subscribed do so with
the stipulation that they shall not be called
upon to pay their subscriptions until the whole
is pledged. About the year 1000 the country
may be brought to reflect upon the virtues of
Washington sufficiently to hand over the
requisite dollars. The Germans were eighteen
hundred years ago working themselves up to
the degree of veneratiop necessary to erect q
monument to the liberator Hermann"
Nothing has go alarmed the moral scientists
of the present age as the great increase of
crime among the rising generation. Jesse
Pomeroy is perhaps the best representative of
these young iends. Still there are many
others who in the ierceness of their assaults
and in the diabofical execution Of their wick
edness rival this little devil of the Hub. The
majority of the crimes committed by these
young buffers Is done in q moment of heated
passion. With some slight provocation they
pounce suddenly upon their victims, and in
a moment life is destroyed. Recently in
Philadelphia party of boys while engaged in
a game of marbles fell into dispute over
some trivial matter, and during the melee
that followed one youngster was kicked to
death almost instantly. This certainly was
not in harmony with the sohriquet of "Broth-
erly Love" which is generally applied to that
city. How to check this crime among the
rising young villains Is subject well worth
the earnest attention of the moral scientists
and humane philanthropists of the present

Mr.. MoRRIsoS's proposition to adjourn
Congress on the 18th proximo had the
effect to astonish both parties in the House.
1t is hardly probable that it will be adopted,
however. because the public business will
not then be completed. The dead lock-
between the two Houses is only just be-
gun. As for the so-called investigations, |"
it is known that the committees having
them In charge will be empowered to sit
during the recess, and, consequently, that
the mud ud-throwing and scandal singing
which has made the ex Confederate House
infamously notorious will be kept up, if it
takes all summer. A fine Centennial cam

AND NOW the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans has been placed under the ban by
the Roman Church. The liberal element
of the Church will undoubtedly protest if
it does not rebel against this arbitrary act
and an excited discussion will follow.
Sooner or later, in the light of intelligence
and modern reasoning, the Church will be
forced to give up intermeddling with the
Durely personal affairs of its followers,

YES AND NO.

The New York World of Thursday says:
"Within the past week it has been ad-
United by one of the most accurately in
"formed and Jealous of the Kellogg lead
"ers in Louisiana that the State will
inevitably go Democratic" There is no
doubt of the truth of this statement, if the
present mode of Democratic campaigning
is permitted to continue. One Senator
and his friend shot down by concealed as
sassins one week and between twenty and
hundred unofending and, we have no
doubt, unatmed and unresisting Republi-
cans massacred the next will have a very
powerful effect on the elections, and will
most probably cause the State to ego
Democratic" Arguments of that kind
are generally unanswerable. The logic of
lead impelled by powder is powerful,
particularly when powder and lead can
not be had to answer it.
But we have doubts whether or no this
system of campaigning will be permitted.
The cry of "waving the bloody shirt" and
the sneers at Southern outrage" commit
tees no longer blind the minds of the peo-
pie of the North. They see that hundreds
of colored Republicans are shot down, and
at every convenient opportunity white
Republican leaders are murdered. They
see the Confederate House of Representa-
tives using every means in its power to
destroy the Government and they have
determined to stop it. Besides, there sits
in the White House stern, cool, impas-
slble man, who was made the Chief Ex-
ecutive of this nation by Republican votes,
and he will use the power conferred on
him by the Constitution to protect the citi-
zeDs Of the United States Of all races,
colors and opinions. With this done
Louisiana will not Ego Democratic" but
will elect Republican State officials and
give the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent at least thirty thousand majority.
Thus we answer ives and no."
