The Kalamazoo Telegraph gives
SONS very good advice to the girls
of Michigan, which is appropriate
for girls everywhere. 1t is in ref
erence to trusting men who are
strangers. The lesson is enforced
by the fact of the arrest of couple
of arrant scoundrels, who had upon
their persons letters and photo
hraphs Of innocent and respectable
girls of Lansing. The editor makes
this statement:
ait is not an unusual thing for
young girls connected with good
families to be seen on the streets,
flirting with strangers who are un-
der of the officers at the
time; and these chance acquaintan-
ces picked up through reprehensi-
Bile handkerchief Irritation where in
come instances the girl introduces
herself and companions, have been
received at the homes of respectable
girls on intimate terms.
With some this is regarded in tia
light of q romance-but such TO.
mances more often end In sorrOW
and shame than in happiness. Girl
should remember that a gentlmas
who desires an honorable acquaint
ance with them can always brinI

Before the war the Southern De-
mocracy were against internal i'm
provements by the national govern
ment. Now the tune is changed,
and they demand q liberal scale of
appropriations as due the South.
Gen. Chalmers, near the close of the
session, made q pronunciamento,
reciting how the South had lifted
the Northern Democracy out of the
mud, and given it life and power,
and how Northern Democrats had
opposed appropriations for South
ern benefit, such az the Brazilian
steamship subsidy and the Texas
Pacific Railroad subsidy, and had
defeated the bill to reduce the tariff,
and reminding them that "there was
never q day nor an hour when all
our prosecutions would not have
instantly ceased, If we had joined
the Republican party" and warn.
ing the Northern Democrats that
the South is not going to hold them
up by the tail for nothing, and il
they do not fully recognize the duel
of the South she will put her voter
where they will do them the mos
good.

RenuhIscnn Work.


We publish to-day the calls for
the State and Congressional Repub-
lican conventions.
The issue of these calls constitutes
the formal opening of the campaign,
and work is now to commence.
There is to be elected q full set of
State officers, members of the lower
house of the legislature, county at
torney, clerk of district court, pro-
bate Judge, and superintendent of
schools. From the interest mani
tested the contest will be a warm
one, especially on some of the State
officers.
1t will be seen that the time aD-
pointed for the election of delegates
to the State convention is recon-
mended to take place on the 2lst
day of August, while the delegates
to the congressional convention in
this district are recommended to be
elected on the 10th day of August.
We regret that two delegate cleo
tons are thus called. It has been
the custom in this county to elect
all delegates to different conven-
tions and nominate county and dis
trict tickets all on the same day.
This practice has been found to
work well, because it takes people
from their work but one day, and
calls forth mole interest in primary
meetings. This mistake occurred
thOughtlessly on the part of the
congressional committee. 1t should
have held its meeting the day after
instead of the day before the State
committees meeting, in which case
it could have fixed its date for the
election of delegates to correspond
with that fixed by the State commit
tee. We entirely approve of hold
ing the two conventions some days
apart, but the delegates should all
be elected the same day to prevent
troubling Republicans with two
meetings. 1t will be seen that the
committees merely recommend the
days for these elections, and we
therefore suggest that this county
follow it's custom aud elect both sets
of delegates at the same time. We
think no trouble would follow such
action.
Now we suggest the Republican
committee of this county call q
county Republican convention ct
once, and proceed to put the party
on q working basis. We think we
had enough of the "free race" bust
ness last fall to do some time. Both
the other parties are actively organ
izing In our midst. There is no
time to lose. Let the committee get
together Immediately, and issue a
call for a county convention whose
duty it shall be to place q good
county ticket in the field, select a
committee for the next year, and do
such other work as may come be-
fore it, and then let the convention
divide into two district conventions,
as has been the custom here, and
elect the proper number of dele
gates to the State and congressional
conventions, place in nomination
their candidates for representatives
ard do such other work as may b.
proper, and thus set the party in
working order all at the same time
There is no time to lose. Only 6
little over a month intervenes be.
tore the congressional delegates
must be elected. The call ought tC
appear in the next issue of this pa

The telephone invented by Will
lard d Cheney, of Charlotte, Mich.
igan, is attracting considerable at
tention. Its special superiority
over all others consists in It's faith
full reproduction of every articulat o
sound. 1t is beyond question, the
very best short line "talking ma
chine'' in the world. 1t is as loud
and distinct as ordinary conversa-
tlon, and voices are readily recog-
nized. The ticking of q watch or
the tread Of fly over the tympan-
um of the instrument can be plain
ly heard great distance. 1t is
neither an electric" nor Gear
bon' telephone.
All are more or less familiar with
the peculiar acoustic properties of
wood. 1t is we'll known that the
ticking of watch or the articulate
sounds of the voice can be distinct
ly heard throughout the longest
stick of timber; but these proper
ties have never before been utilized
in the construction of an acoustic
telephone.
The trouble with acoustic tele-
phones heretofore has been that
the reverberations drowned the ar
ticulate sounds, or rendered them
too indistinct for practical use.
This difficulty is now completely
overcome by the invention or dis

THE Bench and Bar of Los An
geles would do well to make note
of a recent decision of Judge Thorn
ton which the San Francisco Oron.
icle epitomizes as follows:
Joseph Reid wanted u decree of
divorce from his wife Sarah, and
applied for the same in the Twenty
third District Court. Mr.. Reid
had published the notice of his ap-
plication in an obscure paper OF
little circulation. Judge Thornton
denied the decree sought, on the
ground that only daily papers OF
large circulation can be recognized
as proper mediums for the publica-
tion of legal notices. This is right
and proper and worthy of the at
tention of all future divorce enter
prises. 1t gives defendants Il
chance to prepare for their defense
and prevents those outrageous sur
prises which of late have become
by far too frequent in this class Of
civil actions.
The principles announced by
Judge Thornton are in unison Will
both law and equity, and Courts ii
the East have repeatedly ruled the
same way.

faced about and joined the Repub-

openly proclaims in favor of the
payment by the United States of
every form of rebel claim for dam
ages sustained during the war, and
of pensions for the late Confederate
soldiers equal to those awarded TO
the Union soldiers. In short, he
repudiates the fourth section of the
Fourteenth Amendment, which
fully explains that he is knave as
we'll as a fool, for no act Of Congress
such as he favors would be worth
the paper on which it should be

Thurnien's Amendment Adopted
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 17th.-The
Blaine resolution to investigate the
late Southern elections, came up
again yesterday in the Senate and,
after short discussion, the Thur
man amendment, to make the in
vestigation cover the elections at
the North, was adopted. A further
amendment to make the investiga-
ton free and the meetings of the
Committee to be held with open
doors, was opposed by Blaine, who
declared that unless the meetings
of the Committee could be held In
secret it would be impossible to se-
cure testimony. Discussion on this
amendment was sharp and bitter
and party lines were distinctly
drawn. As consequence the
amendment for open sessions was
not adopted.

The Hebrew Societies Refuse Mrt.
siewar,'s Gin.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Trus.
tees of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum
have declined the offer of a gift of
money from Mrs. A. It. Stewart,
through Judge Hilton, and it is ex-
pected that the other Hebrew As
sociations will take similar action.
The Presidnt of the Mount Sinai
Hospital says that if Mrs. Stewart
had quietly sent check to the in
stituIion it would probably have
been accepted; but, in view of the
way in which the offer was made,
there was feeling of opposition to
its acceptance among Hebrews gen.
orally. The President of the Home
for Aged and Infirm Hebrews says
the offer made through Judge Hill
ton would not be accepted as he
had thrown down the gauntlet and
prescribed the whole Hebrew race
and there was a strong feeling
among Hebrews against accepting
gifts from such source.
