The Ckeboygan Lumber Company's
New Mill.

The progress made at the ChebOygan
Lumber COmpany's new mill since the
close of navigation, shows that good use
has been made of the favorable weather
we have been enjoying the greater por-
ton of the time, so far, this winter. The
platforms around the mill have been
put up and floors laid. On the inside
they have everything about prepared to
receive the machinery. Both engines have
been set, and the foundation for the
gang completed. Judging from appear
ances we would say that foundation had
been put down to stay, and do not think
when the gang is fastened down on it
that there will will be any possibility of
its stirring very far from where they
place it. The most of the machinery
from the old mill has been brought down,
the boilers being hauled down Thursday.
All is activity around the mill, and
large force is at work, pushing the work
forward to completion. II. A. Blake was
at work yesterday re-bOring the cylin-
der of the large engine. Preparations
are being made for placing the boilers
in position and constructing the arch.
As we have stated before, seven boilers
will be used to supply the steam. The
mill has been painted lively color, and
"ChebOygan Lumber Company" painted
in large white letters on each gable end
of the building. A pile driver is kept at
work driving piles for further improve
ments around the mill. So far as we
are capable of judging, all the work has
been done i'm the most substantial man
ner, and with view to make as perfect
mill as is possible.

Vick's Floral Guide.

This work is before us, and those who
send five cents to James Wick, Rochester,
NY, for it will be disappointed. Instead
of getting a cheap thing, as the price
would seem to indicate, they will receive
a very handsome work of 100 pages, and
perhaps 500 illustratiOns-nOt cheap,
but elegant illustrations, on the very
best of calandered paper, and as a set off
to the whole, an elegant cOlOred plate
that we would judge cost twice the price
of the book.

HEIGHT OF BAROMETER.
Navigation Matters.

1t seems rather curious to be referring
TO navigation in mid winter, and OrGi.
narlly would be out of place, but this
winter, so far, seems-tO be contrary t.
the usual condition of affairs at this sea
son of the year. The condition of TIL,
straits have been such that we believ,
there has been no time when steamer
could not have worked their way through
The lower end of Lake Huron is entirely
free from ice as is also the river, and
Lake St. Clair. Crafts are navigating
Lake Erie, The schooner Senator, of
Detroit, arrived at Port Huron on the
18th and cleared for Wyandotte the next
day with load of lumber.
The Chicago Inter Ocean of Friday of
last week says it was rumOred that sew
eral of the steam craft which were load
ing grain in that harbor would leave for
Buffalo as soon as fitted out and ready,
if insurance at all reasonable could be
secured. Two craft mentioned were the
prOpellers Colorado and Nebraska, of the
Commercial Line. Chief Engineer Nc
Masters, of the line, had been there for
several days fitting them out. As to the
Northern Transit Chicago and Sarnia
route, it is urged that there is nothing
to interfere in the least with boats run
ming. and if there is grain to 60 by that
route it is likely that the boats will soon
resume their trips.
The general opinion seems to be that
but little severe weather will be expert
enced from this out, and certainly if the
weather so far this month can be any
criterion it would indicate that such
was likely to be the case. To say the
least, however, winter navigation is
rather risky business, even if there
should be no ice to interfere, binding
snow storm might be encountered almost
anytime, and should old BOreas send a
blast down from the north for a couple
of days the result would be very disas-
trous to any craft and crew that might
be caught out.
The tug LaketOn with her two barges
in tow from Port Huron to Bay City,
mentioned last week, was unable to make
her way through the ice on Saginaw
bay, and after being in the ice two days
succeeded in making Tawas, where she
and barges laid up.
The above was put in type Wednesday,
since when a change has come DER the
spirit of our dreams and things are not
so favorable for navigation as they were.

IEOiIcCrIDN.

In our remarks on this question in THE
REPUBLICAN Of Wednesday we did not
mean to imply that farming does not re-
quire intelligence, or that farmers are not
intelligent. Farming does require brains
aud skill. Nevertheless, much of the labor
on farm can be performed by men of dull
minds and unskilled hands, and it is shock
ing bad economy to put good men to in
ferior work, which should he left to those
who cannot perform the higher functions of
labor Nature seems to have produced
goodly number of men incapable of fine
work, and if they are to contribute any
thing toward the worlds necessities, the
rude labor of the farm must belelt to them.
This is the natural law and the true
economy.
The Philadelphia Times endeavors to con
vince the laborers of Pennsylvania that as
the democrats have chosen RANDALL for
speak er, and he is for protection, it is safe
to trust the democratic party to handle the
tariff That amounts to saying that one
man can defeat the intentions of the whole
party The Times conceals the fact that
Mr.. RANDALL came very near not being
speaker, and if HANCOCK should be elected
he will fail the next time. The brigadiers
who rule the party kicked against Mr..
RANDALL the last time, and only chose
him speaker finally because they needed the
vote of Pennsylvania in this election, and
could not afford to press their point. The
/ ~ a.. I
presidential election over, they will have
used Pennsylvania all they care for, and
will either compel Mr.. SAM RANDALL to
stand sQuarely OH the platform or step
down aud out of the speakers chair. Mr..
RANDALL unfortunately is not made of the
stuff which produces the fibre of martyrs.
He was not strong enough to keep that
eminent free-trader, FERNANDO WoOD, from
the leadership of committee which de-
voted its whole energies to the destruction
of the tariff He was not strong enough to
keep his party from putting in a free-tradc
plank in the national platform. He is
weak enongh after the plank is there to get
on the platform, and go around telling the
people that there is no such plank there
or if there is 1t doesn't mean anything.
And that is the kind of man that Nc.
CLURE relies upon to smite the free-trade
monster and overthrow the machination'
of The enemies of labor.
RANDALL is too much interested in being
reelected to the spcakership 10 he trusted
to fight the brgadiers on the tariff, and the
Times knows it. He will do as he has done
talk in favor Of q tariff, and then vote fol
ant-tariff men and anti-tariff platforms.
Pennsylvanans remember that in 1sl-
they put on their banners POLK, DALLAS
and the tariff of 49, and almost the frs
thing POLK aud DALLAS did was to destroy
the tariff of ~. Do they like being
cheated twice in the same way and on tn,

There is another considerable drawback
10 the qualifications of Mr. TILDEN in
this He is much too great q man to charge a
public officer with having stolen so large
sum without being in possession of some
sort Of evidence. He might very well
assume from his general knowledge Of poll
ticians that no man could come in contact
with the rich deposits of the United Stntes
treasury without grabbing few hundreds
of thousands or a million or two. What he
knows about railroad treasures would lead
him to that conclusion, but when IL comes
to taking two hundred millions, the bulk
is SO large that no man could handle it
without betraying his theft, and suspicion
could hardly fall upon the wrong person,
aud could not be excited without evidence.
Such body Of money cannot get into the
hands of one man or three men without
making itself felt in Wall street, and If
TmDEN has any inkling of who has it, he

Tucker on their track and brought the
sconndrels to bay, instead of allowing
demented WILCOX and the confused DAVIS
to go poking about among tons of treasury
papers that long ago had become rub
bish, aud which the lifetime of II hun
dred men would be far too short TO ex-
anime and reduce to order. This neglect
may not be criminal, but it shows the
dilatory movement of SAMUEL's mind aud
the utter improbabity that he could ever
catch up with 50 agile and well-trained a
peculator as the man who has got away
with the alleged bunch of money, and has
several years the start of his pursucrs.
In these views of the matter it WAS very
uukind in TILDEN to impose upon the in
experienced HANCOCK with such preten-
sions and obtain IL promise of the treasury
portfolio. We advise HANCOCK 10 back
down.

enough to perpetrate fraud unless they do
so by striking down the vigilant republi-
cans, who will stand watch and ward over
the sacred receptacles Of the peoples suf-
frage.
The change Of sentiment from the demo-
cratic TO the republican side is rapidly In
creasng in volume and will continue TO in
crease every hour from this time forth to
the time of voting. Men in Indiana who
have been haling between two opinions are
shaping their course under an increasing
determination 10 throw the strength OF
their influence and vote into the republi-
can side of the scale. Many who have been
until quite recently strong and determined
in their adherence to the democratic faith
have sensed the danger and ore changing
their position, and now indicate purpose
to sustain the republican cause by voting
against that plank in the democratic plat
fom which covertly seeks ultimate free
trade under n declaration in favor of "a
tariff for revenue only" They begin TO see
the iniquity ofa dogma which aims an ulti-
mate blow at the manufacturing interests
and the general prosperity of the country,
and which will place our manufactures in
direct competition with the unrequited
labor of Europe, thus eventually bringing
disaster to American enterprise. So fast
as this point is clearly discovered just so
fast are the democrats who favor protection
changing sides aud enlisting under that
banner This known fact is inspiring the
republicans with confidence and courage
and the fear of eucountering defeat has
entirely vanished from that side. The re-
publicnns are confident of winning the
fight, and they will do it if energy, spirit,
courage and push can accomplish that end.
As iof Ohio, she is as certain to elect
the republican ticket by Il fair majority in
both October and November as is Massa-
chusetts. The democrats have been making
a desperate fight in the state, and with
! higl-sounding claims Of success but they
are rapidly losing ground and are nothing
| like as strong as they were two weeks ago.
| The people of that state have also become
! thoroughly aroused to u sense Of the i'm
pending struggle and are exceedingly active
and determined in the work of averting it.
| The manufacturer and the workers who aid
his enterprise begin to place the right in-
depreciation upon that plank which pro-
nounces for "a tariff for revenue only" and
they have determined to deprive the demo-
cratic party of any power to crystalline
such dogma in the statutes of the nation
Let our friends elsewhere be of good
cheer. The republicans of Indiana and
Ohio will give good account of them
selves in the result of the approaching
election by adding both those states TO the
republican side of the account.

THE PROSPECT.

"Watchman, what Of the night?n is the
anxious inquiry Of men Of both parties as
we approach the day of trial in Indiana and
Ohio. We can answer only by the lights
that come out of the battlefield. Our
friends in Indiana are very confident of sue
cess in that state. True, the enemy is pour
ing into it all the guerrilla element avail
able from the cities Of New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore aud Washington, but they
are constantly shadowed by vigiant and
experienced detectives from these several
points, and, as ii now looks, an attempt to
carry out the evident purposes of false vot-
ing will consign large number ifnot all
who make such an attempt, to prompt in
generation in prison. Our republican
friends in Indiana are most thoroughly or
panzed in their canvass and in their COM
mittees of vigilance, who have solemnly re-
solved to protect the ballot-box from re-
peaters and fraudulent voting Of all de-
scriptions and at all hazards. This course
may involve trouble. 1t may lead to yio-
lencc if the republicans pcrseyere in THEN

the democrats, but be that as IL may, the
republicans have determined most solemnly
TO have an honest ballot and fair count
in this contest, if they fight for it. This
is no idle boast. There is no desire OF

such will be permitted to vote once If the

POLIIICIL NOTES.

Ben BUTLER now goes for Hancock because he
torres the negro. The southern brigadicr goes for
Hancock because he hates the hcgro.
WHAT If the republicans shall lose Indiana :?
Grant lost it in October, 1872 when Hendricks was
elected governor. Hayes lost Indiana in October,
1876, and saved Ohio by less than 6,0OO.
THE Tribune Justly says: Judge Perrepont hit
the nail on the head when he said IN his recent
speech "If the solid south had 1856 electoral votes
instead of 1888, do you for one moment suppose that
they would have nominated Hancock" There is
only one answer to this question, and every intel
ligent American knows IT,
HERE is a fairSamplo of the great so-called
national" party: on every important issue of the
campaign 1t must fight for one thing in one section
and another and direct opposite thing in the other
section. Aud yet this is the great national and
anti-sectiona party" and the party that puts forth
the claim that 1t alone is the only party that repre-
sents broad and national ideas.
GENERAL HASCoCK is a very profane man. Gen
eral Garfield, although very fOrcbe and earnest
man, does not deal in profanity. While in the
army he could and did give orders without pro-
family. General Hancock, on the contrary, seemed
TO think It vital part OF his education to emulate
