MENTOR.

We have been so broke up over the
election of Cleveland that we have beon
unable to write since election, we are
getting better however and will try and
be prompt with our items in the future.
The nice run of weather of late has
enabled farmers generally to get fixed
up for winter.
Mrs Craig returned from the south
part Of the state NOY. LIST. where she has
been visiting several weeks. Her daugh-
ter Miss Emma accompanied her on a
visit to friends aud relatives.
The outlook for big money from pota-
toes is anything but encouraging to
farmers in Menter.
DR.. Stringham has been engaged to
teach the village school at Wolverine,
they say that the. doc, is an old hand at
the business and a goods chOOl is expect
ed.
We are unspeakably mashed on the
Mentor man who voted the st, John
ticket on one end and the whiskey eoun-
ty ticket at the other, but then he voted
for principle you knOw-eOnsistancy
what q precious jewel thou art.
Now that the election is over and the
county Office question settled, we can ex-
pect to see our neighboring town Of
Tuscorora whack up on the Whitman
bridge, it seems that Tuscerora did not
cast her vote on Register Of Deeds with
a view Of conciliating Mentor on the
bridge question.
With Democratic fusion legislature
we expect to see the whole whisky traf-
fc wiped out this winter, yes, yes.
Warner and Uncle George have pur-
chased several hives of bees. We under
stand they are going into the honey bus
mess quite extensively,
John Wakeford has been quite sick for
the past week.
Wolverine folks are all agitated over
who will be Tin the event Of Cleveland's
election) their next postmaster, Of course
it is generally conceded that no Rspub-

be the next post master II q change Is
made.

Fastest steamer on the Lakes.

Fastest Steamer on the Lakes.
A Buffalo telegram to the Detroi Post
says:
Fastest steamer on the lakes" is what
experts say of the new steel steamer
which the Union dry dock company is
building for the Lake Superior transit
company. She will be 301 feet 6 inches
long, 3S feet beam and about 1900 tons
burden. The Jewett is now called race
horse but as the new steamer has bet
ter lines, the same power of engines and
25 per cent more boiler power, she is ex-
pected to be still faster and to make Is
miles an hour. Her cabin will be four
and half feet wider than that of the
Nyack and will be fitted in cherry. Her
hurricane deck will be fitted up as a
promenade deck, with smoking room
forward OF main mast, and she will ac-
cOmmodate about 200 passengers. Every
thing will be fitted up In the best style
possible and she will he made the finest
beat on the lakes. She will carry three
spars, which rake slightly and her smoke
stacks are to be put nearer amidships
than is usual on lake craft, and will also
rake so that she will look much like an
ocean steamer. She will probably be
launched about Dec. LIST. Passenger
Agent Carpenter intends to have her
started In the spring to ran to Mackinac
and Port Arthur. Change will thus be
made in running of lines and two boats
weekly will run to Port Arthur and Du-
luth.

Listen for Logan!

This Is going to be real lively cam
paign. The republican candidates
must divert the popular consideration
from the numerous murky attach
ments to the record of their tickets
head, Mr.. JISGo BLAINE, as well as from
a point or two perhaps in the history
of their tickets tail, JACK LOGAN. The
means on which they most rely to do
this is talk. There will be all sorts of
talk, and much of it; lots of blustcr
and brag, of whoops and hullabaloo
and eagle screams from BLAINE, and
howls and yells, perhaps both Yankee
and rebel, from LOGAN. The air will
be full of the revolutions and fights
of the past, and the possible and proba-
BILE scrimmages of the future and the
ground will be strewn with the frag.
ments of all the old Fourth of July or.
ations that have been brought out again
to help give tone to the canvass. and
have failed to stand the strain. Both
the first and second Republican candi.
date will talk from end to end of the
campaign, aud the talk will be full of
gush and expectation, and with little to
say about the past. The past cant be
helped. o..n.t ......
But the only speeches that will be at
all worth watching will be Black JACKS.
There will be nothing cut and dried
about them. Every one may know
what he will say, but nobody, not even
Black JACK, knows beforehand how he
will say it. The regulation curves and
channels of our native language are not
those in which the tongue of LOGAN
has been accustomed to travel; and
though in his speech he may set for
himself the same mark as the average
man, he will be sure to move to oward it
over an unexplored and original road.
When he begins a sentence he leaves
the wellworn grammatical track as a
lofty tumbler spurns the springboard,
and like an athlete who has lost his
''cut" in the midst of double somer-
sault, he turns and writhes in helpless
ness, grimly certain that he must come
down sometime, but equally in doubt
whether it will be on his head or on his
heels. But finally down he comes, no
matter how or where, and as soon as
that flight is over, no matter how dis
astrous to his reputation as student
of LINDLEY MURRAY, he is up and ready
for the next jump. Without regard to
their wisdom, the freshest and most
entertaining documents of the approach
ing campaign will be the oratorical de-
liyerances of Black JACK of Egypt

Trades for Young Men.

The fact that apprentices are be-
coming fewer each year has become a
fruitful subject for discussion. Some
ascribe this state of affairs to the pol
icy of the trades unions and others to
the unwillingness of the rising genera
tion to engage in any occupation less
"genteel' than that of dry-goods
clerk, or book-keeper, or vender of
drugs and toilet articles. Parents are
largely responsible for the increasing
lack of interest in the various trades
They fail TO study the character of
their boys, and, above all, fail to incul-
cate in their youthful minds a proper
respect for the dignity of labor Some
people think they have done their
whole duty when they furnish their
children with the necessary books and
send them to school. In truth their
duty has hardly begun. In the first
place the everyday life of the lad
should be thoroughly familiar to his
parents. If he manifests any special
aptitude the parent should be on hand
to see that it is developed. AS it is,
the average boy becomes his own mas
ter the day he enters school, In time
his ideas become inflated, and at the
age when he ought to be wearing the
apron of an artisan he eschews trades
and becomes little better than a mere
locker on in the world. Unless pa
rents assume the responsibility that
rightfully attaches to them, the skillful
mechanic will be missing one of these
days, and in his place will be found a
foreigner. The bare thought of such
a state of affairs should be sufficien. to
create decided change in the present
method in rearing the youth of our
land. Bufdlo Courier. \ W

Every Democratic voter of this
county is interested in seeing that the
party nominations for county Offices
should be made fairly and honestly, 30
that no questions can be raised after
the convention that may lead to dis
sensions, and thereby weaken the vote
for President in November. To secure
this result there should be full attend.
ance at the delegate election. 1t is too
often the case that the delegate election
is considered matter of little impor-
tance, and many men will not take the
trouble to go to the polls. Under the
present rules of the party, the nomina-
tions are virtually made by the people
at the primaries, and the convention is
simply the machine which declares the
result. Iu this way a small portion of
the party may make the nominations,
whereas the candidates named should
be the choice of a majority. A full
vote and unbiased expression of the
people in the selection of delegates
who cannot be tampered with, will
leave no room for charges of corrup.
tion of any kind. Let us try it that
way once.

The Army bill, as amended in the
Senate, appropriates nearly 100000
more than the House voted; the Legis
lative, Executive, and judicial bill, as
enlarged by the Senate committee, APP
propriates over million additional.
Every appropriation bill thus far, if we
rightly remember, has been increased
in the Senate, the addition to the Navy
bill being the greatest of all. The
friends of the River and Harbor job
are relying on this peculiarity of the
Senate for adding several millions to
that annual steal. Yet all these meas
ures combined sink into insigni6cance
compared with the Seuate's proposed
amendments TO the Mexican Pension
bill, which would take more than $780,
100000 out of the Treasury. r

Apropos of cremation, there are sew
eral interesting reports among the
medical reports of the Imperial Mari
time Customs of China. One states
that children are sometimes cremated
from superstitious reasons. Where
several young children in family have
died in succession it is believed that if
one is cremated the next one born will
survive. There is only one Buddhist
temple in which the inmates are ore-
mated. The simple method consists in
placing the body in a stone seat inside
a small dome-like building, in the tenn.
pie grounds. The interior of this
structure communicates with the open
air by a small door. Around the body
a quantity of firewood and charcoal is
placed; this is set on fire and the door
is closed until complete combustion has
taken place. The bones are collected
and placed in a jar, which is kept in a
mortuary chapel.

Buried IN a Trance.
THE SUPPOSED FATE or WEST VIRGINIA
BRIDE or BUT THREE MONTHS


One Of those ghastly stoii les of inter
ment before life has become extinct,
which cause an involuntary shUdder of
horror TO pass through the reader, is
current in Wheeling. The victim, so
the story goes, is a young married lady
OF twenty years. In May of last year,
three months after her marriage, the
lady was taken violently i'll, and after
lingering for ten days, apparently died.
There were certain peculiarities about
the appearance of the supposed corpse,
however, which caused a suspicion in
the mind of the attending physician
that his patient might be in a trance;
but after keeping the body for four
days, with no signs of returning life,
the remains were consigned to the
grave, temporary interment being made
in the family lot in an abandoned
graveyard. A few days ago the
body was disinterred prior to removal
to another cemetery. To the surprise
of the sexton the coffin lid showed
signs of displacement, and on its being
removed the grave.digger was Mortified
to find the remains turned face down
ward, the hands filed with long tufts
of hair torn from the head, and the
face, neck and bosom deeply scratched
and SCARED, while the lining cf the cof-
fin had been torn into fragments in the
desperate efforts of the entombed vic
tim to escape from her terrible fate.
Since the discovery the young husband
has been Frustrated and his life is de.
SPARED of. The names are withheld.

The Causes Of Poverty.

The reasons why the poor are al
ways with us it might be worth while
to inquire into much more carefully
and Systematically than has yet been
done. In general the causes of power
ty In the United States at least are sus.
ceptible of being determined, yet there
is in fact very little definite knowledge
on this important subject. The exec.
utive committee of the Associated
Charities of Boston have been at the
trouble of collecting the statistics in re-
gard to the cases brought under their
notice. These they have given to the
public in an elaborate report. -Four
principal causes are given, which cover
all but very small percentage of the
total number Of instances brought un-
der the society's notice. They are in
temperance, ignorance, laziness and
pride. ...
Nine-tenths of all the poverty was
found to be owing to drunkenness,
leaving the other tenth to be divided
among the other causes. Only very
Va lCdl Wdub was
found to be due TO illness or bad luck,
notwithstanding these two causes get
the credit of great deal of the misery
in the world. What was found to be
true in Boston would doubtless be
found to be true the country over if
the same care was taken to gather the
statistics and analyze the causes,
The reader will say that there is
nothing new in this statement and that
everybody knew these facts before. In
general way this is true, and yet the
presentation of the facts and figures is
advisable whenever and wherever pos
sible. The charitable associations in
this city and the country over could do
no better work than to collect statistics
on this subject and publish them, too.
Preachers and teachers should impress
them and reiterate them before their
audiences and pupils.

ln making selection of a candidate
for President the Democratic party
must look at things as they are. They
are confronted by an opposition ticket
that is acknowledged to be strong
one, and one that will command the
support of the great body OF republi.
can voters. This must be met with a
candidate on our side who can draw
out full democratic vote. There are
enough democrats in the country to
elect President, and wise actor on
the part of the Chicago convention
will bring about this result. But it
will not be wise to select candidate
simply because he can draw the vote
of dissatisfied republicans, nor because
he has been nominated by several other
so-called parties. This would be repe-
tition of the Greely blunder of 1872.
and it would undoubtedly meet with
the same disastrous defeat. There are
dlssensions in the opposition, and it is
evident that many influential republi.
cans will not support Blaine, but when
taken in comparison with the millions
OF voters of the country their number
is SO small that it would be suicidal to
name a candidate at their dictation.
Let the choice of the party be a sound
democrat, with clean record let him
be nominated on democratic principles,
and placed upon democratic platform.
After that the ranks are open, and all
those who see the error of their past
political views, and who wish to sup
port our candidate, should be welcom-
ed with open arms. But it would be a
olpnder to name a man simply for the
reason that the malcontents and sore
heads OF the republican party could be
drawn in by such nomination. The
democratic party can better snffer de,
feat than to sacrifice principle as a
matter of expediency. .l II,

The Philadelphia Press is making
an effort to obtain 100000 from par
ties interested in high protective
tariff. With this money it proposes TO
pay itself for papers to be sent broad
cast over the country during the cam

Press advocated protective tariff as
a matter of principle, but this looks
very much as though it has adopted
