Michigan's new liquor law went into effect
last week. It is not like the celebrated Maine
liquor law, an attempt at complete temper
ance or teetotalism, but aims rather to re-
strict and diminish the practice Of drinking
Under this law no Intoxicating drinks can be
sold on Sundays nor on week days between
the hours OF o'clock at night and o'clock in
the morning. The sale OF liquors In billiard
saloons and other places where games Of
chance are played, IL also prohibited. AL
though the law went into effect last Monday,
no attempt has yet been made to enforce it In

In another column will be found letter
from the Hon. II. M. Lusher
There Is no room for controversy between
Mr.. Lusher and the DEMOCRAT; it has been
our pleasure to print all of the agreeable
references to the candidacy Of this gentleman
that have reached our hands, together with
such publications as may have been furnished
In his interest.
The DEMOCRAT has not expressed prefer
Offices, but we do say that convention of the
same party which nominated Mr. Lusher in
1879 and 1876 may be safely trusted to make
proper nomination in 1879.
Furthermore, we say that the intimation
by Dr.. Sears, that the retirement OF Mr.
Lusher will cause the doctor to limit the Pea
body aid to Normal schools, Is received in
many sections of the State as menace and
is therefore hurtful to Mr.. Lusher's interests
was kindly offered, the superintendent dis
plays some temper, and INDUCES In an asser-
ton which the public may feel an interest In
having explained, and that is the reference to
being made a 'victim of intrigue"
Some time since letter was published in
which Mr.. Lusher testified to the high char
acter and attachments OF his opponents. This
was manly and well calculated 10 place the
contest for this important position upon
proper plane. We have read but one unkind
criticism upon Mr.. Lusher, and that was re-
published In our columns under instructions

wieldy population, has been thwarted through
the diplomacy OF Bismarck, co operating to
that end with Beaconsfield at the Berlin con-
ference. Russia has thus been compelled
to surrender to Austria the larger portion Of
this territory snatched from Turkey by
Russian armies. Austria has received, In
this addition to her population, new ee-
ment of that eventual disintegration Of her
empire to which Bismarck looks. as the COM
pletion Of his grand scheme Of German
unity. Her Hungarian, Bohemian and Sela-
vic provinces will require all her power and
wisdom to hold In peace and loyalty to the
empire. Her Germane provinces will be
found more difficult to retain In harmony
with these antagonistc races, especially un-
der the entieements and allurements OF the
far-reaehlng German rulers. But this desti-
ny OF Austria, which Bismarck has so clearly
marked out, is anything but pleasing to Rus
sia. Her Selavlc population hoped to increase
Its power and numbers In the huge empire by
the annexation OF the province which Bis
marek has appropriated for Austria. There
Is profound discomfort among them
on this account The Czarowlteh
represents this sentiment and party. His
father, the Emperor, is regarded as too much
under the influence OF Bismarck and the
Germans. The, power and influence OF the
National Church are on the side Of the

powerful party In Russia has been eommuni-

RED-EYE AND NINA. The greatest race
in America, as old turfman view it, was
the match between Red-Eye and Nina,
half brother and sister, both sired by
Boston. Red Eye had about a hun
dredth part of Potomac blood in him, but
even those few drops of the famous scrub
racers blood gave the noble steed wei
ter weight to carry that handicapped him
in the prejudices of the Nirginians IN
spite of his great achievements He was
a very devil for temper, and showed it IN
an eye like Apollion's, He won the first
heat, and his owner told the boy, little
pet Niger, named Anderson, to hold him
back and let the mare win the second, so
as to make Red-Eye's bottom tell but
the horses look was perfectly diabolicai,
and he reared and charged as if he would
whip the entire crowd, and the people ran
from his very look; while the little boys
got off the fences and climbed the trees
10 get out OF his way. The boy managed
to keep the reserve power IN him four
times round, and he was taken to the
stable looking mad and fresh enough for
another heat right then. The next heat
he won easily, making the greatest
achievement then or since known on the
turf, taking time and distance into con-
sideration.

4 DISGRACE TO HIS PROFESSION The
Rev. Mr.. Vosburg was the pastor of
congregation in Jersey City, over year
ago, and had the good luck to procure an
acouit.al before a friendly court and a
sympathetic jury, on charge Of attempt
ing to poison his wife. 1t was not his
fault that the attempt failed But the
poor lady still lives, and, strange to say,
still loves him. He does not in any de-
gree return the tender passion On the
contrary, to get rid of her, by fair means
or no means, is his especial purpose.
Having heard that divorces were easy
and cheap in Yankton, Dakota, thlther
he went, but Chief Justice Shannon, who
is a Catholic, is not quick to grant disso-
luton of matrimonial bonds, and so he
shook the dust of that place off his feet
and hied to Fargo, where more accom-
modating justice runs the court. With
what grace the Rev. Mr.. Vosburg can,
in the marriage of others, pronounce the
solemn words" those whom God hath
ioined together, let no man put asunder
is a conundruui for himself TO solve.
But solve it as he may. he is nevertheless
a scandal and diss.s-aev t14.sis e,,.iin5 and
his faith. And the trouble Of society and
GOOD morals is that these scandallziIg and
disgraeeful clergymen are getting TO be
yery numerous In the ratio OF the pro-
fessiOn.
