The pioneer editors Of Michigan were a
frank and truthful lot of men, as can be
fproven by ar incident called to mind the
other day in connection with the name of
Mark Williams, who gave up his life for a
better one not long ago. Mark paper in
\ Clinton county. Il was wee little sheet,
with hundred subscribers, printed the handi
est way, and the Office was so poorly supplied
that several different fonts of type had to be
used to set up the reading matter. One day
the paper came out with d fierce attack on a
state official at Lansing. He was called a
robber, liar, thief and various other epithets,
and no pains were spared to skin him and
hang his hide on the fence.
a About week from that date Mark sat
smoking beech leaves and tobacco mixed in
. equal parts, when stranger entered. He
was big, broad-shouldcred man, with awful
fists and wicked eye, and he got down to
business by asking
care you Mark Williams ?"
"Well, yes, suppose So" was the hOsi-
Eating reply.
"And you run this paper
"Well, kinder run it, suppose"
Il "Very well. l am Mr.. -, of Lansing,
the man whom you abused SO savagely in
fyOur columns last week."
"Now
Yes, l am, and propose to give you the
worst insulting western slanderer ever re-
ceived!"
"Ssy, are you really Mr.. -" asked
Mark.
81 am, of course I am, and while I am
taking off my coat you may give me your
reasons for publishing that slanderous ar
ticle."
VI had two reasons, sir"
What are they?"
n We'll, in the first place, | thought you
were little runt of man, about four feet
nigh and about dead with the asthma, and in
',he next place thought the roads were SO
'lnternal bad you never could get over here"
The straightforward confession should have
paved Mark, but it didn't. The visitor made
II dive for him, took out handful of hair,
Eand when the editor jumped through the
only window in his Office he was followed and
fchased into an old slsshing, where he had 10
Eemain hidden until midnight. That Incl
cent shaped his future policy, as he one day
"The editorial pen is s1 alfred big lever,
3but have made it q rule for the last thirty
years not to abuse q man unless think |
sean lick him in q rough and tumble fight
bround the editorial room, and l never go
FOR man when he says anything against my
paper, unless l know he is little man."

itled4to representation as follows {:

And it is understood that the people in Con-
vcniion will have the right to change the ratio
of representation should they see proper.
The counties will select their delegates either
in convention or general mass meeting, as may
be considered best by the people, acting through
the usual party organization. And it is recon-
mended that the citizens assemble at their Court
Houses in the several counties for this purpose
on Saturday, May %. But should they fail SO TO
assemble on that day. that they meet as early as
practicable thereafter.
We call upon all Conservative citizens of the
State without regard TO past political differences
and associations, who are opposed to the third
term movement, to all unconstitutional and revo-
lutionary modes of inaugurating defeated candi-
dates, to the base frauds whereby the vote of
Florida was reversed in the last electoral canvass
and the country was robbed of the legally elected
President, and upon all who are in favor of a
free ballot and an honest count Of the votes at
all elections, and OF pure, economical and con-
stitutional, National as well as State, government
TO unite in sending delegates 10 this Convention.

following representa-

The counties are requested TO select their dele
gates at the same time and place and in the same
manner they select delegates to the State Con-
vention
In order that the Convention may act wisely and
conform TO the will of the people, ii is necessary
that their wishes be well ascertained. This can
only be done through their representatives. II
therefore becomes all important that all the
counties be fully represented In order to secure
this desirable end the County Executive Com
mittees of the several counties are respectfully
urged to spare no reasonable labor and pains to
secure fair and able representation of their re-
spective counties. Let US enter upon this impor-
tant and vital work with a zeal and energy pro-
portionate to the result desired, ever displaying
that spirit of harmony and patriotism that should
at all times characterize those laboring together
for the public veal and FOR the prosperity, honor
and glory Of the commonwealth.

1t is to have capacity of 20 900 lbs day, which
is equal to 300 tons of sugar. A bushel of corn,
costing about forty cents, produces about thirty
pounds of grape sugar, or three gallons of syrup.
This sugar, which costs them net two cents per
pound, they can sell at from three and one-half
to four cents, while the three gallons of syrup
can be sold at from thirty-fve TO forty cents
gallon. The new industry proposes to dispose
of the 'over production question, and it will
probably henceforth not be cheaper to burn corn
than wood in Central Iowa.

cannot be elected, and if he cannot be elected

was by the Republicans, not the Democrats. On
the contrary, the Democrats treated him remark.
