Guarfieid.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Section six
repeating the statutes allowing troops
at the polls was read. Messrs. Con-
ger, Frye and Robinson argued that
the section did not retrench ekpendi-
lures. Mr.. Garfield denounced
Democratic policy. He declared 1t
to be revolutionary and tending to
the suby ersion of government. He
said the pending proposition was the
simplest and most inoffensire Of the
measures that that party had intro
duced. Still, when accompanied
with what looked like co-ertion it had
to be resisted. 1t was not against
the proposition itself, but against
Democratic methods that he spoke.
And what was the law on the repeal
of which Democrats now insisted at
the peril of national life? 1t was a
law that had been proposed by a
Democratic Senator Powell, of Ken
lucky. II had been reported against
by a Republican committee and pass
ed in both houses Of Congress, by a
majority of Democratic votes. = Sena-
tors Hendricks, Davis, Johnson,
Mcdowell and Randall, Wood and
Pendleton had voted for it. We pick
up tue gage Of battle that has been
thrown down and appeal TO our CON-
mon sovereign the people. Let them
say if the principle of voluntary con-
sent shall be broken down by starry
ing government. We are ready to
pass bills for the support OF govern
ment whenever you shall offer them
in the ordinary way, and if you offer
these Objectionable sections az sep
crate measures, we will meet you in
a spirit of fair and fraternal debate.
But you shall not compel us. You
shall not co-ercc us, eve to save this
government, until after these ques-
tons have gone to the sovereigns
and they have determined to break
down voluntary powers. On that
ground we plant ourselves. Mr..
Mcmahon said gentlemen on the 9th
err side improved every opportunity
that offered TO read lectures TO his
side on their past and present poll
cies. Their sentiments were re-echo-
ed by the partisan press. He wanted
to know where these gentlemen had
receiAed authority to hold over South
ern gentlemen the threat that the
feelings created by the war were not
yet paciiied. If il was not compe-
tent for Southerncrs to be admitted
to the floor of the house with full
right of voting on vital questions as
their judgments dictated, then the
war for the Union would have been a
failure. 1t came with i'll grace from
any Republican to say that a provi-
sion was improper because it vas put
upon an appropriation bill. The Re-
publicans themselves had passed
many measures in the same way
When done by them they had not re-
parded it as REVOLUTIONARY. but on
the contrary, they had justified it as
q defence against the exercise of ar
bitrary power. The Democrats de-
sire to see the jury box purified, the
use o ftroops at the polls prohibited

of measures whic h put it into the

Inducements TO Farmers.

We desire to call particular attention
of every reader of the STAR to the i'm
portant fact that Northern Michigan
Is destined to become one of the most
beautiful, and is one of the most ad-
vantageous localities in the world for
those of moderate means.
Water, of the purest and best quality,
abounds; soils of almost every variety !;
timber In great variety and abundance.
Lands are cheap, while the facilities for
obtaining markets are generally good,
and rapidly increasing. The same may
be said of schools and churches. Ma
terial for building can be obtained,
fresh from the vast pineries, at rates
within the reach of every one. In
point of healthfulness-dry, pure air,
laden with fragrant scent of pine-we
believe It unsurpassed.
There are thousands of acres Of wild
lands-a considerable quantity ofwhich
Is owned by the Grand Rapids 4 Indi-
ana Railroad Company, whose adver-
tisement may be found in this issue
that may be had at prices and on con-
ditions within the reach of all Of mod
crate means. The poor man In need Of
a home, has but to put forth the effort.
Itis only q question of time Till ne be-
comes independent and prosperous, II
he practices simple honesty, industry
and economy. Come to Northern
