A COnlDarisOn.

II is very well for Republican
speakers and newspapers to dwell
on the sweeping triumph" OF Foster
in Ohio for the purpose of cncour-
aging their coadjutors in other
States, but upon an analysis of the
figures there is but little cause for
such exultation as they are now
indulging in. The New York
World has been looking the mat
ter up and presents the following
facts and figures which shows the
relative position of the two parties
in that State. "Between 1852 and
1878, in twenty-one years, the Dem
ocrats only once succeeded in carry
ing Ohio. In 1873 they elected Allen
by S13 votes, thanks to the fact
that the Prohibition candidate got
1927, the largest vote ever given
by the Temperance men. In 1871
they elected the Secretary of State,
having less than 10000 majority in
the popular vote. In 1875 and
1876 they were beaten 10y narrow
maiorities. In 1877 the stalwart
Republicans were sore over Hayes
policy, and the Republican nomi-
nee, West, made a rankly COM
munistic speech, so that Bishop
secured the Governorship, though
he fell 5000 short of obtaining a
majority. Last year the Repnbli-
cans carried the State, though they
barely got 1000 votes in poll
of $4,000. This year the indica-
tons are that Foster is minority
Governor. Since the birth of the
Republican party, therefore, Ohio
has gone Democratic precisely four
times-in the dark days of 1862,
when Chase despaired of Mr.. Lin
coin and his Administration, at the
tidal-wave season Of 1884, and in
1877 when the stalwarts were sulll-
ing. On but two occasions have
the Democrats scored majority in
the popular vote-once when no.
600 Republicans stayed at home,
once when these ahsentees num-
bered 10000. Look at the vote of
Ohio in the old Republican days:

most hyperborean in its charac-
teristics, the winters being long
and severe and the summers too
short and uncertain for the success
full production of crops. But
within the last year or two this
opinion has been essentially modifi-
ed. The rapid growth and develop
ment of northern Minnesota and
Dakota, and especially Manitoba and
the region of the Red river OF tho
north, far higher ATTITUDES than any
portion Of Michigan, have shown
that not only has the climate been
misunderstood, but that it is in
many respects better adapted to
the great cereal crops than the more
southern portions Of the country
Practical experiments have definite
~ settled all questions relating to
climate.
The face Of the country and the
nature of the soil of the peninsula
between Lake Superior and Mich
igan and Huron have been almost
as little known as the interior OF
Africa. Only until recently have
there been any settlements and at
tempts at agriculture in it. The
magnificent display made 10y Chip
pewa county at the State fair in
1873 first opened the eyes of the
people of Michigan to the capabili-
ties of that region. Now the testi-
mony is overwhelming aud uniform
from a variety of sources that
there is no richer or more produc-
tive soil in the State, and no region
better suited to the production of
grain than this hitherto much de-
spised peninsula.-Chronicle

Wilson.

The township Of Wilson Is last
filling up, and promises to be one
Of the best farming regions in the
State. The lands are Of a supe-
rior quality, and on the farms al
ready improved, the amount OF
produce raised every year is truly
astonishing. In town 80 north,
range 7 east, the lands are magni-
ficept, and cannot be excelled any
where. A large amount OF the
lands in this vicinity are at present
owned by S. A. Dawson, Geo. N
Fletcher, and w. II. johnson, who
will sell to actual settlers at very
low figures. A new road is being
constructed on the most direct
route to Hubbard Lake, through
this town, and it is intended to
make this road suitable for travel
this winter. This new road will
open up q beautiful tract of farm
ing lands, and will be Of untold
benefit to tho entire community
About ten miles of the proposed
gravel road will be made available
to the settlers in the region of
Hubbard Lake, while the balance
will be a good road for summer, it
being clay soil the whole dis
lance, and much shorter than the
road now travelled, over the sandy
plains. Hubbard Lake, which is
distant about twenty miles from
Alpena, is a beautiful sheet Of water,
and with good roads to the lake, it
will soon become one Of the most
favorite resorts of Michigan, for
pleasure seekers, where they could
find fish in abundance, and the for
ests about would supply deer and
other game without end.

The Mistakes of Young Men.

The Rev. Mr.. Westgate preach
ed especially to the young men Of
Alpena last Sunday evening, set
ting forth in pointed manner n
few of the mistakes that young
men are liable too. We wish that
every young man in this city could
have been present and heard this
lecture as it was replete with good
advice, which. if followed, could
not fail of making our communi-
ty better and more prosperous.
The very common mistake OF
the differentiation Of an educa-
t;on nv oo~ vN~u~ -~-s'
dwelt upon at some length, and the
speaker, in a very forcible manner,
exposed the falacy Of a special ed
ucation for special purposes, which
is only another name for ignorance,
holding that whatever a mans oc-
cupation might be, he would be al
the better for thorough and COM
plete education in its broadest
sense. That this is the correc,
view Of this subject, no thinking
man will deny. A few years since,
Mr.. Eaton, the Commissioner OF
Education, sent circulars from
Washington TO the prominent bus
mess men of the country, who en-
ployed large numbers of laborers
propounding certain questions, one
of which lin substance) was as fol-
lows: "What is the comparative
value of educated and uneducated
labori' The answer, without ex.
ception, was, that the educated la.
borer was worth from twenty-five
to fifty per cent. more than the IN
educated. In other words, the
more knowledge a man has the
more valuable he is to himself and
the community in which he lives
We must remember that these an
swers came not from the theories
of the school men, but from tn,
experience Of sharp business men
who number their laborers by tn,
thousand, and who rarely max,
mistakes in such matters.
Now IL these things be true;
the Rev, gentleman is correct il
his premises, and If these bushes
men are right in their estimates
what is our duty as citizens and n
lovers of our common country
Certainly the answer seems plain
At least parents should see to
that their children are devotin
their time to the acquisition c
knowledge and the acquiring of a
education which shall fit them 70
future usefulness.
Our business men should do q
in their power to drive from on
streets and into the schools th
hundreds now being rapidly fitte
for our penal institutions.
