that the country to-day, with a popu-

to the increased consumption of lager
beer, which he denominates "the
worst enemy whiskey has to face in
the United States to-day" He also
advises the friends of the trade not to
fight the temperance movement OPEN
Iy, c%onceding that "the moral and re-
ligious sentiment of American society
is against the traffic" and islands like
a stone wall to confront it." He adj
vises the liquor men to go along quiet

conciliate the opposition rather than
to antagonize it, and thinks that thus
the business will go on with little dis

undoubtedly receive something sim
liar to the above, and the assertion
that the contributions are "volup-

false. Judge Laubie, a candidate
for Congress in the Eighteenth Dis
trict in this State, and the present
member, withdrew from the contest
and in his letter withdrawing said:
The contest so far has settled the
fact that nc man a go to Congress
from this district without a free and
lavish use of money, and as 1 have
neither "bar'P' to open nor DISPOSE
ton to do so, I feel it is useless to
further prolong the contest so far as
1 am concerned. Money and official
patronage will "boss' this district
until Republicans wake up to a true
knowledge of their baneful influence.
The Republican plan of conduct
ing campaigns is simply damnable
from the moral point of view. and
should be the subject of denuncia:
ton in every honest newspaper and
the text of every sound morality in
the land. No poor man can be nom
mated for office by the Republican
party. 1t has no animating princi-
pie but the greed for plumber, and its
hold upon power is bought and paid
for. Its "black-mailing" process
teaches the fice-holder himself that
the governing power is not exercised
by the people so much as by the
managing politicians who corruptly
control elections. 1t suggests to him

ssStand and Deliver

For years past the Republicans
have conducted their campaigns on
principles worthy of highwaymen
only. They have not merely solicit
ed contributions to their corruption
fund, but have demanded them I'M
der penalties. When n demand
has not been complied with another
has been made, and as a last resort
the delinquent has been threatened.
We believe the sending of threaten
ing letters is an indictable offence,
but when John Cessna, as Chairman
of the Republican Committee two
years ago, sent out a multitude OF
threatening letters, of which the Phil
adelphia Times prints the following
copy, he knew that the victims whose
bread he proposed to steal could moi
afford to proceed against him. Like
a highwayman he demanded money
but in doing sc he did not take the
highwayman's risk. The same de
mand is now being made by the pc
%litical highwayman. who have charge

One week from to-day, August 4th, the
Republicans Of this county will meet in con-
vention at the village of Lawrence, for the
purpose of selecting delegates To the Con-
gressional and State conventions, TO be held
at Kalamazoo on the 18th and Goth Gays of
August. respectively. AS members Of the
first of these conventions, the fourteen dele
gates to be chosen az Lawrence viii aid
largely in determining who shall have the
honor Of representing the Fourth Congress
sional District Of Michigan in the next
Congress.
There is no Goubt for whom their votes
Will be unanimously cast, and they will,
doubtless, be found in full accord with the
representatives from the other counties OF
the district in this matter. It requires no
great amount of political sagacity or fore
sight, to determine that Hon. j. c. Burrows
will ,be the enthusiastic choice of the con-
vention, thereby ratifying the wishes of the
Republican voters OF the district who are
practically unanimous in this matter.
Mr.. Burrows long experience in Congress
added to his natural ability as legislator
and a statesman, has eminently fitted him
for the position he now occupies, and to
which, without doubt, he will be returned by
a well satisfied constituency. There are
many things which might be urged in his
favor, if argument were necessary to convince
the Republicans Of the Fourth District that
he Is the right man in the right place. His
ability is recognized not only in his own
district, but through all the State, and over
the entire nation. An eloquent speaker, an
excellent parliaraentarian, an able legislator.

The opening exercises of Oak Park Semi
nary were held last Wednesday evening, and
were largely attended. The school-rooms
were handsomely decorated, and the exercises
of very interesting character, consisting of
essays and Rotations by pupils of the school,
varied by music, both vocal and instrumental.
The cornet playing, by Mrs. p. II. Carroll of
Grand Rapids, was especially fine. The
vocal music was furnished by st. Marks
Choir, and some good quartettes. AT the
close of the exercises, Miss Barker made a
few remarks, explaining her purposes and
plans in opening her school. She has en-
gagged the services of the Rev. Ct. l.. Cole and
wife, and Miss Matte Blackman, to assist
her in teaching, while four of the young lady
students will teach in special branches.
This Seminary bids fair 70 have quite large
attendance.
