Ben Butler, in an interview with a re-
porter, gave it as his opinion that Maine

The Detroit Evening Journal says
"Cheboygan is to have sanitarium con-
trolled by Detroit physicians" Have
not heard of anything Of the kind up
this way. We have one of the best san
itariums in the state controlled by Che
boygan physicians.
Over 500 citizens of Detroit signed
paper requesting Col. John Atkinson to
allow his name to be presented to the
Republican Congressional convention OF
the First district as a candidate for Con-
gress. The Colonel signifies his willing
ness in a well written reply.
Cheboygan Democrats fail to manifest
any particular enthusiasm for BegOle as
their candidate for Governor. Two
years ago he had 33 plurality over Jer-
ONE, but this year all indications are
that he will be badly left. General Rus
sci A. Alger is the popular candidate in
this county, "and don't you forget it,"
News from the Arkansas election
shows large Republican gains. Phillips
county, which two years ago gave a
Democratic majority Of 1000, this year
gives like majority for the Republic
cans, making change in two years Of
1000 votes in that one county, and while
the state gives large Democratic ma
iority it is not near such as was given
two years since.
Free traders claim that prices on
everything is enhanced just the amount
of the tariff and in the next breath
howl that over production has stagnated
the market and living prices cannot be
obtained for anything that is manufac-
tured in this country, and propose to
help the matter along by opening the
gates wide and allow British manufac-
turers to flood the country with their
goods and wares.
AttorRey-General Van Ripper holds that
the act of the legislature of 1873, pro-
viding for the instruction of pupils in
physiology and hygiene, with special
reference to the affects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants and narcotics gener-
ally upon the human system, applies to
all schools. All teachers are required
to pass satisfactory examination in
reference to alcoholic drinks after Sept.
1. An occasional talk on the subject is
not in com pliance with the law.
The graded school opened Monday
with an average attendance in each de-
partment of about forty-ive pupils. This
will undoubtedly be increased, and it is
a question as to whether or not the
school will be able to accommodate all
who may wish to attend. Chsboygan
needs more school accommodations, and
IL is only question of time, and short
time at that, until more room will have
to be provided. We believe the present
corps Of teachers will prove efficient, and
the school fully sustain the high stand
ard 1T attained under Prof. Sutherland.
The Democratic party having no prin-
eiples to present to command the respect
and support of the people have become
desperate in their despair of success,
and is again resorting to forgery to in
jure the Republicans and bolster up the
hopes of Its own party. A letter is going
the rounds of the Democratic press pur-
ported to haye been written by General
Green B. Raum to q government clerk
