WHATEVER may have been the record
of Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, in the
past. all lovers of good order will rejoice
at the step inaugurated by him last week
in ordering the police to close every
house of evil repute and all dis reputable
saloons on State street, Wabash avenue,
and Clark street, as far south as Polk
street, a district that has long been one
of the most disgraceful and dangerous
in that city. 1t is to be hoped that the
mayor may keep up the work in this di-
rectiOn.

THERE is nothing discouraging in the
recent election returns for future Repub-
lican plans and prospects. 1t is reason
able to believe the State strongly Repub-
lican upon full vote. There appeared
several first-class blunders originated
with the press and representatives of
the party to operate against it. The
duty of the present is to avoid further
mistakes, and attend strictly to the prin-
ciples and work of the organization, and
victory is certain.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, APRIL 81, 1883.
THE PRESENT.

Disraeli told the young men Of Liver
pool that "the great secret Of success in
life is to be ready when his opportunity
comes" The suspicious present, if
taken advantage of, will make Of our
village city that will be the pride of
Northern Michigan. The timber wealth
of this region has built, and will fur
nish life for Cheboygan for twenty years
to come, to say nothing of hardwOOds,
Ready men have achieved success, and
helped the town largely through the
lumber interest, and will thus continue.
But our commercial and municipal i'm
pOrtance can only be made permanent
by fostering every available factor OF
success. Railroads, manufactures and
good farms make certain a prosperous
city. This locality is rich in resources.
We have good water power, excellent
shipping facilities, salt in prospect
most varieties of wood for manufacture
ing purposes in enormous quantities,
unsurpassed farming lands near by, and
everything essential to city of good
size. steady growth and solid prosperity.
Many came and went having no faith,
many provided themselves with tenn
pOrary accommodations, thinking they
would not remain, but the growth of
Cheboygan has suffered no interruption
and thu present year will show great
advance. The buildings being con-
structed for home and business, are SUI
perior, and show the onward develop
mont of the place. The community
have faith IN the sagacity and wisdom
of our prominent business men, and
will gladly support any movement to
secure manufacture or other agent Of
general good, that our public spirited
men will start. Public meetings where
money is hurriedly voted away are not
a blessing, but there should be some
means of securing public consultation
upon matter of chief importance to us
all. Let us all irrespective of religion,
politics or social condition, work contin-
uously for the town of our choice, homo
and pleasure, believing fully in its
abiding prosperity.

The foul curse of Mormon polygamy
is rapidly increasing. No Legislative
enactment has checked the ever-enlarg-
ing stream Of female slavery and moral
death, or prevented one pOlygamOus
marriage. This indignity abounds in
states and territories adjacent to Utah.
and extraordinary efforts are being
made by the jealous apostles of this cry
ing sin to extend it wherever they can.
Large numbers of converts come from
the southern states, and European i'm
migrants constantly add to the number
of those who break and defy the law,
by the detestable practice of polygamy.
Our government will have to use the
severest measures of repression
before we get rid Of the pest, and
the sooner the better.

The Detroit Free Press gives an &C.
count of young lawyer named Church,
of Detroit, who has become insane
through "want--down right suffering
for the necessaries of life," and observes
ut is pitiful truth that there are a
great many other Young lawyers at the
bar whose condition is but little better
than poor Church's. They are becoming
seedier day by day, and nobody but
themselves know how they subsist." 1t
appears insane for any man of capacity
and energy to remain in a position of
want in such country as ours.

Puddlers are paid in the west $3.50
per ton, in the east $3.50 per ton, and in
Great Britain they receive only $1.75 per
ton for the same work. The New York
Public free trade journal, declares
'there is no decent reason for so wide a
difference Gas that paid the British and
American puddlers). This country may
as well give up manufacturing iron al
together, if it is necessary, in order to
maintain men decently IN that business, to
pay them three times the sam paid in
England for the same auork." This is an
honest statement Of those who seek to
degrade labor, by compelling American
wOrkmen to be content with the low
price paid European laborers. Our ar
tisans are better paid, fed, clothed, shell
tered, and have more comforts for their
labor that any other class of wOrkmen
on earth. This is not only decent but
altogether proper, and the large body of
intelligent, well-tO-dO American labor
ers will not consent to policy that per.
mits foreign capitalists to fix a starva-
ton price upon their toll. Absolute
free trade means absolute want and suf-
fering to men who have to work for a
living"

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

An evil 80 affective to humanity as in
temperance must remain a vital ques-
tion incapable of being removed from
public discussion. The popular senti-
ment is in the direction of temperance,
but judiciOus, sensible action, is need
full to secure cOalescing of all
friends of law, order and sObriety. Pro-
hibitiOnists cannot with their favOrite
measure secure a consolidation of forces
and the greatest good, simply because
the people cannot agree upon prOhibi-
ton as the wisest course to pursue. 1t
produces duality among the friends
of temperance, and its constant viola
ton by the liquor traffic engenders a
contempt for law. A statute law unen-
forced, and thoroughly disliked by the
public is fruitful of evils. In Michigan,
Ohio, Kansas, Iowa and elsewhere, pro-
hibition has disappointed the temper
ance people. The high license system
proves satisfactory in Nebraska, and the
philanthrOpic temperance thinkers are
carefully watching this law that COM
pels the liquor seller to become detec-
tive and prevent unlicensed saloons
from selling, in order to secure the
benefit he seeks for in paying high
license tax. Make saloOnists interested
in executing the law and it will be done.
Make the tax very high and you close
the worst class of saloons and thereby
prevent much evil. The people have the
abstract right to prevent the sale of in
toxicants, and in the end this may OBJ.

Webster's Real Last Words.

days he had been kept alive by fire.
quent doses of brandy, his favorite
and almost exclusive beverage for
years. His bed WAS surrounded by
affectionate and nxlou watchers.
As the vital spark went Pickering
out, one of the attendants was
about to put some more of the be-
loved liquor between his lips, and
the physician interpoSsd, saying,
"it is all over-he is dead. -
Then Webster opened his grsAl sol
emn eyes and family whispered,
with his last expiring, ~Auttering
breath, 81 Still live-more bran
dy."
1t is a pity, perhaps, to destroy
any popular illusion which is cred
table to human nature. Bnt the
truth is more precious even than
faith and that this is the truth
about Wsbster's dying utterance
we have no manner of doubt, His
last words were "More brandy !"
and he only said - still live"
that he might get it. And the real
sober truth about his death is not
without its lesson either.

A Good Text.

The Inter Ocean,, speaking of
the friendly sentiment toward it of
the country press, says: some
reason for this is that it has never
adopted the policy to pull anybody
down for q stepping stone to power
and influence"
This is Is good a text for a ser
mon as If written in the Bible
where it is in fact in scores of
places in substance if not in the
exact form of words. All through
life it is the policy hat wins men
and public confidence. But we
regret to say that in no department
Of life's activity is it more disre-
gardcd than in that of the news
paper. 1t is the one thing more
than all else that weakens the
power Of the press for good.
Somehow, men think printed
words are not 80 offensive as spok-
en- ones, and thousands of men
write and print Of their neighbor
what they would never think of ut
terring orally andto his face. And
happily the public to have
the same opinion, for it rarely be-
lieves anything published of this
kind. If an editor was to say on a
public rostrum what he does in an
editorial the effect would be ten
told more regarded, but he prints
it and sendr it broadcast over the
world; and both the object of at
tack and the public take it as in a
professional or Pickwickian ense.
Still it lowers tina Journal using it
In popular esteem, and helps ra-
thNr than Injuries the person assail-
ed. The fact 10 as we state, al
though it is n of the most curious
illustrations Of human nature that
we find e1emplified in daily life.
And it is true in other depart
ments. In political life it is the
cause of nearly all the reverses in
party fortunes. 1t ruined the De-
mocrAtic party in 1860, and was
the cause of Republican defeat last
year. Theirs is a compensating
justice in public opinion by which
sooner or later q man obtains his
just appreciation in the popular
mind. This selfish and unjust at
temptS on the part of some to pull
him down, may work temporary
injustice, but a calm consistent,
curse in the right, or what a man
feels to be right, brings its compen-
sation to the end, if we have the
patience to wait. But if we seek
vindication by using the same
weapons, nine times in ten both go

tinct of the mass concludes that

Tho Other Side.

The Emporia Republican states
that Judge Samuel D. Lecompte,
first chief justice Of the territory of
Kansas, has written a book, which
will be published this summer, en-
titled "The Other Side" 1t will
give the other or pro-slavery side
of the early settlement of Kansas.
Judge Lecompte was not only
chief justice OF the territory for two
terms, but served in both branches
of the territorial legislature. The
town of Lecompton was named for
him.
Judge Lecompte is a gentleman
of education and capacity, of liber-
al views in politics, and probably
as free from prejudice as any of
the living actors in the controversy
of which he writes. A true his
tory of that time will continue to
be of absorbing interest long after
the participants in it r dead.
The hates and preiudices engender-
ed of that strife have died out. On
both sides of the conflict there
were heightened, patriotic men,
who entered into it with all the ar
dor that sincerity and the courage
of conviction could give. AS the
title of the book indicates, there
were two sides to it, and we who
conquered have no right to say
that "the other side" was totally
and always wrong, except as to the
main issue. We believe the book
will be a valuable piece Of history.
The Judge has for the past two
years been y citizen of White
Oaks, in this Territory.-Al6W-
