The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1881-03-18

Probably there was never a nomination made
universal satisfaction to the people, than does
the choice OF A. j. Mills, as the republican
nominee for Circuit Judge, by the recent judi
cial convention held at Decatur. The people
OF the county have long felt, that the election
OF Circuit Judge from Van Buren,, whose IN
terests were here, and who would devote the
proper time and attention to the judicial affairs
Of our portion OF the circuit would be highly
advantageous to ltigants in our court, and to
our citizens at large; and in addition TO this, 5
wide spread feeling exists that our county is OF
right entitled to the honor OF furnishing the
party who shall wear the judicial ermino.
Should Mr. Mills be elected to that high and
honorable position, aud he will be, we doubt
not that the anticpations OF the people will be
fully realized. Mr.. Mills, by diligent study and
hard labor has won an enviable reputation Is
an honest, upright man, and as an able attor-
ney He is man whose integrity and ability
even his opponents do not question. Although
a mpaIatively young man, he has had large
experience IN the profession and practice OF the
law, and by his studious habits and indesatiga-
Bile industry has fitted himself IN an eminent
degree for the position to which be is about to
be elevated by the SURFACES Of his fellow citi-
zens. He has not only been engaged on one
side or the other OF great majority OF al the
important cases brought into our own court for
a number or years past, but has practiced
quite extensively in other circuits and in the
| L. s. Court. In addition to this he has filed
the Office OF Judge Of Probate for our county
during the four years ending on the 31st OF
December last, and when we say that he per-
formed the onerous and intricate duties OF that
Office with honor and credit to himself, and
for the best interests OF his constituents, we do
him but simple justice. The unaminity OF the
party in this county in selecting him as its can
didate, and the satisfaction and good feeling
manifested by the Kalamazoo delegation at hii
nomination, will insure him q hearty support
throughout the entire circuit. There il nc
doubt that in addition to the republican vote
he will receive q large support from persons
not members Of his party, especially in this
county. Van Buren, will give him, We predict
not less than 1900 majority over all opposition

cuss those who composed that Convention OF
such base infdslity to the best interests Of the
Republican party? Men, like Charles Dun
combe, John Roosevelt, @. J. Monroe, Z. p. Hill,
Mitchell Hogmire and fifty others in that Con-
vention, who not only helped lay the founda :
ton OF the Republican party" but have
even since been true to it's principles aud have
been fighting its battles for the last twenty
years. Many OF whom have not asked for an
Office at the hands OF their party. Has Mr.. 3.
always been true to the Republican party? In
1879 when the treachery OF Andy johnson had
well nigh ruined the party, he voted for the
Democratic nominees, and 1t is said he mas con-
tinued to do 30 moro or less ever since, at least
he has not taken interest enough in the Re-
publican party to attend one OF It's Conven-
tons before in years. Such accusations from
such Q source we apprehend will have but
little weight in influencing Republican votes at
the county election. As to the part Mr.. Mills
took to secure his nomination there Is nothing
in it but that is honorable and just. He at
tended neither caucus nor convention, and had
repeatedly told his most intimate friends that
IL there was any other person whom the major
ty OF the party III this county wished to nomi-
nate, to not let his name stand in the way for a
single moment.
Let every republican cast his vote for the
nominee Of his party, and we shall elect a judge
OF whom We shall have cause to feel justly
proud.

THE KING OF SLAMS NEW WHITE
ELEPHANT.
London Telegraph. /


Some ten weeks ago the King OF Siam
received dispatch from one of his pro.
vincal governors informing his Majesty
that a bran-new deity, in the shape of
snow-white elephant, had been captured
in an outlaying district of the kingdom,
and was actually on its way to Bangkok,
the Siamese capital. These joyful It'd.
ings were greeted with Undesirable en-
thusiasm at court, and the King at once
resolved to start in person, accompanied
by his ministers, grand officers of state
and exalted clergy, upon professional
excursion with the object of meeting the
divine pachyderm half way and of escort
ing it to Bangkok. The cortege, headed
by His Majesty, had not proceeded many
miles on its road toward the interior
when it encountered the object of its
pilgrimage. Approaching the elephant
with profound reverence and many
humble salutations, the King knelt down
at its feet and reverently placed its trunk
OH his head and either shoulder, implor-
its protection and favor Having thus
paid public homage to the huge quad
ruped and received its blessing by the
"impostur proboscis, His Majesty
drew his sword and took up a position
on the elephants right flank, supported
to the animals left by the high priest
carrying a golden wand, Thus headed,
the procession entered Bangkok, where
the new god was greeted by salvos OF
artillery and a general salute of the royal
troops paraded on either side of the route
leading to the palace. Having escorted
the elephant to its apartments the King
bestowed upon his sacred guest the rank
of "reigning monarch, and decorated it
with the Grand Gordon of the Siamese
Order bearing its own style and title.
The household of the new deity has since
been organized upon truly royal scale.
Every article dedicated to the white ele-
plants use and service is of massive gold
or rare porcelain, and popular offerings
to the value of many thousands of pounds
were deposited at it's shrine before it had
been established forty eight hours in its
splendid quarters, Immediately adjacent
to the Kings own private suit of apart
ments.

There are only two or three people
now living who can successfully shake
hands. There is good deal of hand
shaking done through the country, espe-
cially at this season of the year, but only
a very small per cent. of the shakers and
shakes know how to do it SO as to get
the entire amount of exhilaration out of
it. Some grab the hand of an adversary
in quick, nervous manner that scares
the victim nearly to death, while others
slide the cold and clammy paw at you so
that you feel the same as when you drop
cold raw oyster with vinegar ON it down

that you have heard some one else say or
similar occasions and in the mean time
shake her hand in subdued yet vigorou:

make mash by pulverizing her fingers
nor yet in too conservative manner

through old fogyism has been overlooked

iron alone must, when developed, make
that State one Of the important centers of

had an income of $1,000 arising from her
pension of $1,000 per year and from the
interest on 5000 in Government bonds

reduces that source of revenue somewhat,

Bill Herndon is a pauper at Springfield,
Ill. He was once worth considerable
property. His mind was the most argu-
mentative OF any of the old lawyers in
the State and his memory extraordinary.
For several years before Lincoln was
nominated for the Presidency Herndon
was in some respects the most active
member of the firm, preparing the great
est number of cases for trial and making
elaborate arguments in their behalf. 1t
is said that he worked hard with Lincoln
in preparing the memorable speeches de-
livered by the man who afterwards be-
came President, during the debates be-
tween Lincoln and Douglas in 1858, and
in constructing the Cooper Institute
address delivered by Lincoln a short time
before the war. Herndon, with all his
attainments, was man who now and
then went on spree, and it was no un-
common thing for him to leave an i'm
portant lawsuit and spend several days
in drinking and carousing. This habit
became worse after Llncoln's death, and,
like poor Dick Yates, Herndon went
down step by step, till his friends and
associates point to him as common
drunkard. -[Springfield (1ll.l Journal.

JUMPING OF NEs.-One of the first
topics which Congress will take up when
it meets will be the amendments of the
mining law. From its action last year,
it may be inferred that neither Judge
Belford's bill, which received the unani-
nous approval Of the two committees on
mines, nor the subsequent bill, which
was published last Winter, will readily
receive the assent of Congress. Yet
something ought to be done. Some meas
ure ought to be devised to stop the bust
ness Of jumping. 1t has become q regular
trade here, in which some of the worst
men of the community are engaged,
knowing full well that they can always
sell their jumpers title-if not to the
parties whose property they have jumped,
to some outside Spectator. There are
plenty of men with money in Leadville
who are ready to buy jumpers title if
the property promises well. The new
law ought to protect man in his rights
to the property on which he has spent
his money and his time, without having
to guard over it with shotgun. i Lead
