fessor, In conclusion, "that the Ameri-
can citizen has the right to sell his pro-
duce In the best market, and to pur-
chase what he needs in the cheapest
market In the world" Precisely SO,
Professor Perry; and the protection
lists of America propose to make their
domestic market the best and cheapest
in the world, the best when estimated
by the quality of goods offered for sale,
and the cheapest when rated by the
sacrifices demanded of each individual
who wishes TO come in possession OF
those goods. The professor is posing
as a political economist. Hs should
know that in the difficulty or facility OF
obtaining possession of an article lies
the true test of its price.
But Notwithstanding the sanguinary
riposte of Professor Perry, the dele
gates were not yet willing to let hin
depart In peace. Another gentleman
Mr.. Philo Parsons, of Michigan, had {
word to say in reference to high tariff
and general prosperity, aud, like pro
tectionists everywhere, he proved to b,
man given to instances and exam
Piles. The assessed valuation of pro
perty In Detroit, he said, was greater
than that of the whole state of Mich
gan thirty-hve years ago, and b,
thought that there could be nothing
very wrong In policy that had large
ly contributed to produce such results
He, too, was In favor of tariff revision
but not OF "tarif REFORM" Finally
the convention came to vote on res
olution favoring tariff revision, previ
ously introduced, and it was passed
with few dissenting voices. Thus fail

TO capture convention which they has
regarded as definitely their own.

Amt You Rather Late With Those
Turkeys, Captain!

Turkeys are desirable things to
have at Thanksgiving dinner, and
as it is fashionable, every person who
can get one, has turkey for dinner
that day. If he can't get turkey,
he gets rooster and calls it turkey.
As substitute it is first class.
The citizens of this place are no
exception to the rule, and while many
had got their turkeys secured, others
depended on the steamer Arundel
getting to Alpena before the day set
apart for the charge on turkey. AS
the Arundel did not get in till after
dinner, there was, of course, some dis
appointment experienced, as the tur-
keys they expected were aboard that
craft. She had lots of turkeys on
board-dressed and ready for the
stuffing, the oven, and the devotees of
Thanksgiving, but that gave no con-
ISOLATION to those who had depended
on her for their turkey.
Soon after the Arundel had made
fast to the wharf, number of citizens
boarded her. Captain Stewart had
descended from his station near the
wheel house, and was standing on the
main deck, near the aforesaid turkeys
A citizen came on board, shook hands
with Captain, and then observing the
turkeys, remarked: "Ain't you rath-
er late with those turkeys, Captain p
The joke was pretty good one, and
the Captain replied pleasantly, stat
ing the reasons why he was unable tc
get here in time with the birds, and
expressed his regret. BY the time he
had got through with his remarks
citizen No. 2 walked down the gang
plank, shook hands with the Captain
and then seeing the turkeys, exclaim
cd: 81 say, Captain, amt you rather
late with those turkeys?" The joke
was not quite so good now, but the
Captain again explained the reason
of the delay, and had just finished
when citizen No. 3 came on board
pumped the Captains hand, saw the
turkeys, and remarked: Hello
Captain, amt you rather late with
your turkeys ?" The joke was now
somewhat worn, it having got into its
third edition, but Captain Stewart
did not appear to be annoyed, al
though close observer could detect
storm signs with prospect of north
west gale. Citizen No. 4 now came
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1882-12-06

aboard, passed the compliments Of
the season with the Captain, and then
seeing the Thanksgiving turkeys, ex-
claimed Rather late with those
turkeys, amt you, Captain ?" The
joke was wore down very thin, and it
got so thin that it could not be seen
with telescope by the time citizens
Nos. 5, 6, 7, s, and 8 had shot the tur-
key joke at the Captain. The storm
signals were all flying now, and the
storm center was close at hand, but
No. 10 did not observe them, and he
began the usual remark: "Ain't you
rather late with them"
There he stopped. He saw some
thing was wrong. He felt an unde-
Unable fear as if something terrible
was likely to happen, or as if he was
standing on nitro-glycerine mine or
an unsafe boiler. He never finished
the joke, and it was well for him that
he did not. If he had he might have
been an angel now.
Before No. ii could get off that
turkey gag, the Captain moved away
from the vicinity of those blasted
turkeys, and then the storm signals
were hauled down. Nevertheless
there were many citizens whose Thanks
giving dinner turkeys were missing
on that day.

The city has lamp at the corner
of Third street and Washington

purpose of. giving light, and, occa-
sionally, on bright moonlight nights
we have observed it trying to run in
opposition to the moon. Atsuch work
it never was very successful, and the
moon always came out ahead. This
lamp, last week, was the subject of
little investigation on our part, and
we must confess that we were puzzled,
and that we have not been able to
solve the mystery. What we have
been trying to find out is, whether 1t
is light that glimmers, or whether
lightning bug was inside the globe.
