The Chicago News Drink has
more to do with distress in the man
ufacturing districts than Legislation
that either protects or does not pro.
,cct particular interests.
Ex-senator Thomas w. Ferry is
seeking health in an extended Euro
pcan tour. Unitedly his warm
friends and political opponents will
Join in wishing that his rip may have
the desired effect, and that he may
soon be able to return TO his native
Michigan strong and vigorous man
ready to do active and efficient work
in both the business aud political
fields.
The Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette speaking of the love Of all
classes of the people for the old
edition of the Bible over and above
the revised edition, says, $50 we
may conclude in this generation at
Least, the reverence that attaches to
The old Bible will keep it in the cur
rent Of circulation, and it will con-
tinue to occupy its place in the
Church and family where it has
been for nearly three knRdyed eentur-
u.s."
ID. u. Anger, who without cause
at the Instigation Of Brewster and
Bliss, Of Star Route trial unsavory
fame, has resumed the editorial man
cement of the Charlotte Republican,
and in an able, candid and apparent
ly truthful editorial sets forth the
causes Of his removal which certain
~ were, under the circumstances,
without parallel in the history of the
doings of the Republican party.
But while we regret the injustice
done Mr.. Anger by the administra-
ton, we cannot regret that he is
again at the helm in the office Of the
Charlotte Republican. Just now as
much as any onething else, the Re-
publican party needs bold, vigorous,
INDEPENDENT, outspoken press, and
we know under Mr.. Ainger's manage
ment the Charlotte Republican will
be just that.
Most heartily we welcome TO our
table Us a valued exchange, the Chi
cago Daily News. That paper has
has probably the largest circulation
OF any daily in the world and that
simply on its merits for it is net the
organ of any party or clique, but an
independent newspaper. See adver-
tisemeHt in another column.
The Lansing Republican says,
"Many Michigan Dakotaites are re-
turning. Six dollars week for
board and an opportunity to lie still
thirds of the year without work,
makes sad havoc with ones bank &C
count and that explains the reason
for the homeward trips"
The Hastings Banner, which by
The way, under the editorial manage
ment Of M. l.. Cook, is one of the very
best country newspapers published
In Michigan, talks to the business
/ men Of Hastings in its last issue as
follows :---"No one thing tends so
much to give town good standing
and reputation for enterprise as a
live, progressive, wide-awake news
paper. A community that does not
literally patronize such 4 journal,
and furnish it plenty. "of the sinews
of warts standing in its own light.
No public spirited business man can
afford 10 neglect or fail to encourage
a good local paper. 1t brings him
trade in more ways than one. BY
standing by its town, encouraging
every step forward, fostering every
business enterprise, a live newspaper
always makes live town."
Now every word of the above is
true, and just as true in Owosso a:
in Hastings, hence We commend il
to the favorable attention of the mer
specially interested in building uT
the trade of Owosso, and generally
