The Free Press, unable to answer facts
given i'm the TRIBUNE of last week,
which were ''disagreeable things to con-
trovert," falls back upon its old charge
OF ''vituperation and abuse of our best
citizens" failing, however, to give the
names, as requested by the TRIBUNE.
In addition to the facts heretofore given,
which showed that the TRIBUNE bid was
50 0S lower than that of the Free Press,
We would call attention to the fact that
already there have been two special meet
ings of the Council, the printing of the
proceedings of which would have
amounted to So % under the bid of the
Free Press, and which was not included
in the estimate s'we took" This would
make the TRIBUNE's Sid $S 33 lower
than that of our cotemporary, land each
additional special meeting will increase
the amount in favor of the TRIBUNE's
bid.

The Range Lights.

The captains of the various crafts en-
tering our harbOr are all of the opinion
that the money appropriated for the con-
structiOn OF the range lights in our har-
Dor. or so much thereof as would be rec
essary, could be expended to much bet.
ter advantages in the construction Of a
crib light at the entrance of the cut.
They claim that the main difficulty i'm
gaining an entrance to the harbOr is i'm
finding the mouth of the cut, and that
this would be obviated by having crib
built at the mouth and light placed up
OH it. They say that after once finding
the cut, the present range lights are suf-
ficient for all purpose. In view of this
feeling, petition has been drawn up,
and is being universally signed by the
captains entering the port, asking the
Light House department to devote so
much of the appropriation as may be
necessary to the construction Of such a
light. 1t seems to be the prevailing
opinion that eventually there will have
to be built pier on-the west bank of the
channel and it is the design to have the
crib light located so as to torn the out
er extremity of such pier, should it
eyer lie built. From listening to the
reasons given by the different captains
we are decidedly of the opinion that the
interests OF Cheboygan would be much
better promoted by the erection of the
crib and light than to have the ranges
as at present proposed, and we hope that
the department will look favorably up
on the petition for the change and giant
the same.

The Protestant residents of the Island
have long felt the necessity of having
some different church organization here
from what we have, and to that end a
meeting was held some nights ago
which resulted in the organization of a
society under the name of the Mackinac

following gentlemen were elected trus-
tees Hon. f. B. Stockbridge, DIR. j. r.

purpose some years ago over $1,000.

will be turned over toth;s association.
They will proceed immediately to the

by outside parties. 1t will cost from $3,-

The Harbor Appropriation.

Colonel F. HarwOod, of the u. S. en-
gineers, was in the village this week, in
reference to the expenditure of the ap-
preparation of $4,000 TO be expended in
additional dredging of the harbor. He
took thorough survey of the work to
be done, and left Wednesday morning
on the n. It. propeller Lowell for De-
troit. Advertisements for proposals to
do the work will be made at once, and
in all probability work will be resumed
in the course OF few weeks and contin-
ned until the appropriation is exhausted.
The amount appropriated should add
largely to the improvement of the har-
Dor, and we have no doubt but Colonel
Duryea, engineer in charge, will see that
the work is well and faithfully done. so
that the harbor will receive the full ben
eft of the appropriation.

Franks of a Prince.

A funny story is told of second
son of the Prince of Wales, Prince
George Frederic. He is merry lit
tie fellow, fond Of tricks, and no more
awed by the majesty of his Sover-
eign than most lads are of their
grandmother. He was even less
amenable to discipline, few years
ago, than he is now and, on one
occasion when staying with the
Queen at Windsor, be played her o
prank. She had solemn dinner, at
which a grand duke, MIR. Gladstone
and Dean Stanley assisted. At des-
sert the children were sent for When
they came in, Prince George was
riotous. Grandmamma reproved him.
He went on heedlessly. Grandmam-
ma was again obliged to interfere.
At last the yonngster became very
obstreperous, and be had to be sent
under the table--a favorite mode OF
punishment, it is said, with her Ma
jesty-whence he was not to emerge
until he had confessed his sin and
promised amendment. He was very
quiet, to every body's surprise but,
when challenged, assured his imper-
turbable grandmamma that he was
not quite good, but would be soon.
At last he was satisfied with his OWE
condition, and, to the amusement of
the guests, emerged as naked as he
was born, when, after smart chase,
be was removed by the servants.

A Dishonest Commonwealth.

The State of North Carolina has a
debt of S37, 708, 066 on which she has
paid little or no interest for long
time. The State now coolly proposes
to her creditors that they fund their
bonds and accumulated interests into
new bonds, but announces that $40,
304, 40 of the debt she repudiates en-
tirely. This leaves the recognized
debt s2I, 4O3,2 96. To settle this
twenty-one millions of debt the State
offers new bonds amounting to S4,-
445, 946, the said new bonds to bear
Al per cent interest. A. more coolly
dishonorable proposition was never
made to creditors. 1t is not denied
by the State that the debt is an hon.
est one, but the money having been
spent it is not desirable to pay it back.
The property in North Carolina re-
turned as taxable to the State is $780,
600 06O aud the tax is only 81 cents
on the dollar the lowest rate of any
State in the Union. This action of
North Carolina painfully shows the
low moral tone of the Democratic
leaders. who control the affairs of the
State, and would occupy high posi-
tons Of trust under the National Gov
eminent.
