Keorganized.

The civil service rules of President
Hayes had the effect of disorganizing
the State Central Republican committee
to considerable extent, nearly all those
members holding official positions re-
signing. This included the Chairman.
The committee held a meeting in Lansing
on the 50th day of january, and effected
a complete reorganization. The COM
mittec is now in as good condition for
effective work rs ever before. The fol
lowing from the Lansing Republican
gives good idea OF the present Organi-
ZatiOn:
''The reorganization of the Republican
State Central committee took place in this city
at an adjourned meeting on Thursday afternoon.
S. d. Bingham having some time ago resigned
the Chairmanship, and s. s. Olds resigning the
Secretaryship at this time, new officers were
elected. to serve uatil the next meeting of the
State convention, as follows George II. Hop
kins of Detroit, Chairman; and George w.
Hough, of Detroit, Secretary. The head
quarters were removed to Detroit, and the Ex-
ecutive committee will consist of the Chairman,
Major Hopkins, James Mcmillan. of Detroit,
Fred l.. Wells, OF Port Huron, l.. w. Heath, Il
Grand Rapids, L. G. Philips, of Bay City. and
the Secretary. Major Hopkins, the new Chair
man, volunteered as private in the 18th Mich
igan infantry, known as the Stone wall regi-
ment, and famous for its bravery and dash
at South Mountain. He rose by merit to be-
come major of the regiment before the END
of the war; He was Governor Bagleys private
secretary for four years, and is q capable and
successful lawyer. With his geniality, energy
and zeal in the Republican cause, and his very
wide acquaintance throughout the state, al
old-fashloned campaign and rousing majority
may be confidently expected.

Written for the NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
Mothers, at the holy hush of even,
Lead your little ones TO prayer;
Sweetly talk to them of heaven
Ola loving Savior's care
Maidens, in your sweet, young beauty,
As flowers of the wildwood, fair,
Pray it is your sweetest duty
Angels bend to hear your prayer.
Youth, with all life bright before you,
Pray for strength to win the race,
That your life reflect the glory,
Shining IN your Fathers face.
Manhood, rich In strength and treasure,
Wife and children by your side,
Find in prayer your life's best pleasure.
That Gods strength with you abide.
Mother, after life's tolls weary
Pale, dear face and dimming eye
Pray, twill make your life less dreary,
If In heaven your comforts lie.
Honored Age, with crown of silver,
Like halo round your head,
Pray, that by the Almighty Giver,
You may be with mamma fed;
Spiritual mamma, full Of healing.
Let us all bow down and pray;
God give heed unto o lr kneelng-
Feed and strengthen day by day.

1t says:
''The suit at Marquette, Michigan, against
Samuel j. Tldens New York mine for $4,000
of iron money which Tilden repudiated, has
been decided against him. The money con-
sisted of drafts ON New York. indorsed by the
treasurer of the company. Mr.. Tilden refused
to honor the paper after Wetmore, the treasurer
and other owner of the mine, went into bank

authority to draw on the company, and that
the circulation of the paper as money was
illegal. The jury were out less than an hour
and gave verdict for the plaintiffs infull, with

To the Congregational Churches and Pastors in
the counties ut Antrim, Cheboygan, Kalkaska,
Otsego and RoscommOn:
DEAR BRETHERN The territory of
the Grand Traverse Conference includes
fourteen counties, and has. within its
bounds, %, Congregational churches;
and calls are made for the Organization of
new churches. All these churches and
especially the new ones. need all the help
they can derive from union and cooper
alton In the common work; but it is man
ifeSt that these advantages cannOt be Sc
secured over so large territory, where
it is impossible to secure, In any one place
a Elir representation Of these churches. &
II has, therefore, seemed sery desirable
to some OF us that new conference be
organized, TO include all the churches
east and nOrteast of Grand Traverse Bay
We therefore invite you to meet in
convention at MancelOna on the 18th,
18th and 18th of February next. to con-
slider this matter and organize, if thought
best so to do.
