I. T. Crittenden for Secretary Of the
Interior.

Our promised fellow townsman,
Hon. T. T. Crittenden, is receiving a
great boom In the rural exchanges as
the proper man for the interior de-
partment. Col. Robert NJ. White, of
the Mexico LEDGER, carols a column
or two of Mr.. Crittenden's praises,
and Colonel Switzler is led to observe
that Mr.. Cleveland might go a great
deal further and do a great deal
worse. Although Colonel White has
many of the pushing and adroit quail
tiles of Dan Manning, and although
Mr.. Crittenden's residence IN Kansas
City will be of advantage, we are a
little shaky as to his ultimate sue
cess. Perhaps we may be able to
compromise on a foreign mission
Kansos City Times.
The only thing we lack to insure
the appointment of Governor Crit
tenden to this position for which he
is peculiarly fitted is the full support
of the Kansas City Times. Now
don't you really think SO! By the
way, you q not for Cleveland orig
inaIly, snd Crittenden and the LED
GER were We were right, you was
wrong. Whether Crittenden is ap-
pointed OF not he is all and even
more than the LEDGER claims for
him.
For the iscai yeafSSszFed-
eral government taxed Che people of
the United States to the extent of
SIl4.393-G25 more than was neces-
sary to defray all ordinary expendi-
tHres, including pensions and inter-
est on the public debt. Had this
enormous sum of money been remit
ted to the people, in place of having
been extorted from them, it would
have been sufficient to have bought
two pair of boots for every man in
the country with an occupation, or
two barrels of -four for every family ;
or it would add a weeks wages to
the gain Of every manual laborer. It
would have paid ten per cent. on a
thousand millions of capital invested
in agriculture, manufactures or min
iro.

r. N. White, Editor Ledger:
DEAR SIR-What does the follow

mean
Democratic gain, 1922; Republi-
car gain, 1886; net Republican gain,
1,074; Reynolds over Buckner, SIG.
Hutton's majority over Reynolds,
1,776. 1t will be Vel by the COM
parison that Col. Hutton's majority
this year over the vote of Judge
Buckner in 1882 is 1892.
A DEMOCRAT.
Well, sir, we give it up; except
that it shows a net Republican gain
in Hutton's race of 1,074, which we
are sure is greatly to be deplored by
the Democratic party. What it
means by Reynolds over Buekner,
576," we are unable to explain, be-
cause Buckner was not running at
all. If he had been there would
have been no Republican gain. The
last statement surely shows Blainie
gall. As a matter of fact Buckner's
majority in 1882 was 2,727; plurality
over highest, A.513 Hutton's ma
iority over Reynolds L 1884, 1,776

as simply Infamous. If the temper

With regret we chronicle the de
struction by fire on Tuesday of this
week, of the Big Casino mill, the prop
erty of w. H. Watson. AT the pres
ent time the cause of the fire is
unknown. The loss is placed at
$4,000. We are unable to state
whether the property was covered by
insurance or not. This mill was erected
two years ago by Mr.. Watson, and
contained all the machinery necessary
10 the manufacture of rough and
dressed lumber, sh ngleS, lath, and in
fact everything known to a first class
mill, and since the day of starting has
been kept busy supplying the demand
that sprung up in and around Spring
creek principally from the fact that
the supply could be had. Though the
lumber demand has been very limited
during the past summer, Mr.. Watson
kept his mill running constantly until
the first Of August, when he shut down
until times revived, having in the yard
oyer 100000 feet Of various kinds of
seasonal stuff, which together with the
mill and other frame structures, used
by his employees for various purposes,
were devoured by the hungry flames,
with 100000 feet Of logs.
The blow is a severe one to Mr.
Watson AID to the entire Judith Basin.

KEEDSFORT, sept. Sd, "a.
About half past one O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, n of the lumber plies
near the lower end of w. II. Watson's
mill yard, at The Big Casino mill, was
discovered to be on fire, and the small
force now employed at the mil, in
stantly turned out to fight it, but
though Hurcu.ean efforts were made
t. move adjoining piles so as to con-
fine the fire within a small boundary,
the high wind which was prevailing
carried the flames through the dry
lumber with such rapidity as to DEFY
all efforts to save the yard and mill.
Seeing that it was useless to try to
stay the progress of the, flames all
efforts we're turned to saving the con
tents Of tne buildings. This they were
enabled to do, saving all the Office
furniture, books, etc, and the bedding,
cooking untensils and provisions were
removed to a place of safety. The
only buildings saved were the COOK
house, ice-house and hospital, and they
were only saved by almost superhu-
man efforts.
About half a million feet of lumber
that was stacked further down the
gulch and Separate from the main
yard, escaped untouched.
Mr.. Watson roughly estimated his
oss at about $5o 1900, but we are in
to think that the estimate is
somewhat under the mark.

To what extent the machinery has

The loss, which falls SO heavily upon
ar. Watson, will be felt by the whole
ommunity as a great calamity. To

WOLVERINE WHISPERS.

We are always getting left. The past
week, owing to the change in the day of
publication. This was very good leave,
however.
G. f. Hood and Geo. DOuner, both of
Wolverine, have been to Bay City the past
week on business. Nothing strange ia
this. only that it is quite seldom that
money enough can he got together in
Wolverine to carry man that distance.
Dan. Woodbury. has moved to Bay City.
The remains went from this station in
box car on Monday last.
They say that the Democrats excuse"
from this place is quite an artist. A
good portrait of him can be seen over the
ticket window at the station.
We learn that we are sson to be provi-
ded with long felt want-that of a no
tel. If W. H. Obear does not get stuck
OF his shape he is the man that will get
there.
What we want next is barber and a
shoe maker.
The question that is now agitating the
minds Of few that are interested, is
who will saw the logs that w. II. Obear
is putting in the present season.
We understand that G.. +. Hood of the
firm Of Hood & Pierce, Bay City, will
bank 5000 poles here this season.

If there is one thing more than anOth-
err, that indicates political change, it is
the fact that Justice Mari took dinner
with Henry Benson, last Wednesday.
Some think that Justice Mari is going
to take up tho Republican cudgel this
spring, if such is the case Union men
and Democrats had better stand from
under, for the Justice is political tiger.
Warner Vroman has at last succeeded
in the well business. One hundred and
thirty-three it,, was the depth attained
before finding water.
The new saw mill at Mentor P. 90. is
new a certainty, ground is being cleared
for the mill by residents interested in
the project. We hope it will prove a
success.
Mrs. Philip Cunningham is quite dan.
gerously sick, at this writing her recov-
cry seems doubtful.
We visited our big city of RondO, last
Saturday found our friend Hoffman busy
as usual, with crowded store. He gave
us (Or rather the little bill we owed him)
a cordial welcome.
The voice of the tax gatherer is no
more heard in the land of the resident,
taxes all having been collected farther
extension is not necessary.
We don't 90 on the street in Wolverine
any more without our wife along, as we
understand Will. MulhOlland and his
best girl intend waylaying us, on ac-
connt of the item last week.
The Democrats Wolverine correspond
ent c. if they have good luck, will be
likely to reach that city next week. we
see they started in at ROndo, and switch
ed off at the Section house, but then that
is good place to stop, we have felt like
switching off there ourself sometime.
What we need down this way is a
good meat-market, say at Wolverine. we
don't know of place in Cheboygan cOun
ty where man could trust out more
fresh meat than there.

Cast Iron.

The Door Frames and Jams of these safes
are made of NJ ALLEABLE ROLLED STEEL,
into six offsets, or fang s, for which the Com
pany holds exclusive patent. The advantage
of our methods are as follows:
The thinness of the metal which connects
the outside box with the inside box, The
toughness Ofthis metal which forms the door
frames and jams; the close lifting OF the door
frame to the jamb; The position OF the bolt,
round corners of the safe. All other safes
made i'm the United States have Cast Iron
door frames and jambs, which metal must be
made hick in order TO obtain sufficient
strength, thus furnishing direct avenue for
the introduction of heat to the inside of the
safe. while, thick as IT Is, 1t Is constantly
cracking, especially when exposed to fire,
owing to IL S well-known briltleness.
BY the use of this thin steel, we have solved
the problem ofhow to make the front of a safe
as invulnerable to fire as it's other walls. The
unequal contraction CT cast iron in cooling
renders il impossible to tit the door casting to

The following appeared in the Cheboy-
gan Democrat of Jan. %:
Rev Norman Newsted, MethO-
dist Minister of Munro, has been danger
Ously i'll for the past three weeks with
congestion of the lungs. 1t is said the

dilatOry in calling to see him and at
tending to the wants of their pastor.
The above proves to be libel on the

where else; and as regards attention. he
has had all they would accept. 1t has
been repeatedly offered.
