Extracts From EXCHANGES.

Our earliest shipment of peaches was the
first of last week, which, though they were
not very fine specimens brought one dollar
per basket. Since then shipments have
largely increased, and on Monday 800 bas-
kets were cleared, and on Wednesday night
the GrOh took out 800 baskets. The pros
pect of a large yield is still good.-Nessenger.

Albert Goodman, one of the greenback
war horses of Detroit had the following con-
versation with a reporter of the Post, when
asked to give his views on the probable ac-
ton of his party in regard to fusion:
"Well, don't know" said Mr.. Goodman.
"The fact of the matter is the greenbackers
of this state are divided into three factions
"How are they divided?" asked the repor-
ter, seeming an interesting party fight.
"They are divided, cir, into fools, ID
fools and Cd id fools.''
"And what is the distinction between the
factions?"
IL will tell you. Those who are green
hackers are fools: the id fools are those
who want to run a ticket; and the Cd id
fools are those who want to have anything
to do with the democrats"
MAY ask to which faction you belong?"
"To the fools.-I was asked to give some
thing towards renting hall for the conven.
ton the other day and Subscribed $40 on
condition there was no coalition. If they do
combine my money is to be returned
"Do you think there will be fusion?"
81 do not. / see they have declared for
fusion in Grand Rapids, but in this city, in
Lansing, and all other parts of the state, l
believe the party is against it."
"Will you support Butler?"
II suppose so, TO the extent of putting up
a flag. With me it is just this way: l was
brought up to love God and hate the devil
and the democratic party. Now if / can
hurt the democrats the most by supporting
Butler am going to DO it, and if can hurt
them more by supporting Blaine am going
to do that"

Hon. VIM. III. Barnum.

"Mule buyer Barnum." the chairman of
the National democratic committee, is a man
of large wealth, invested mainly in iron
mines in this state, and in blast furnaces in
the vicinity of Lime Rock, Connecticut. He
is one of the chief owners of the stock of the
Michigamme Mining Co. and of the Iron
Cliff Co., which are among the leading min
ing corporations of Lake Superior: he is also,
and has been for many years, the president
of each of these companies.
Michigamme mine is the main support of
the pleasant village of Michigamme, and most
of the miners there, are men with families,
own their homes and have had steady en-
ployment at the mines for years.
Last week Mr.. Barnum sent peremptory
order to the agent TO discharge one hundred
and fifty men. This action was wholly I'M
expected at the mine and its operation is
particularly distressing. At the same time
he sent orders to the agent of the Iron Cliff
Co., to discharge employees from the mines
of that company; thus seventy men were
suddenly thrown out Of employment at the
Barnum mine, and also numbers at the Sails
bury, Foster and Bessemer, which are all
mines belonging to the Iron Cliff company.
This arbitrary action on the part of the
president of the companies is altogether un-
usual. When mining companies decide to
cut down their working force, they give pre-
vious notice and afford the men chance to
secure work elsewhere.
There are few mining companies on Lake
Superior that have such reputation for
penuriousness, selfshness and general disre-
gard for others, as have these companies
which are managed by Barnum; fact which
is not due to the local officers, for they are
men who are well esteemed. But Barnums
niggardliness and arbitrary dictation are
well understood in the mining region, and
this sudden and peremptory discharge of 80
many men, without any consideration of their
rights in the matter, is but in keeping with
his character. Arbitrary, illiberal, selfish
and dogmatic, all the men fear and detest
him.

A notable illustration of democratic reform
is manifest in the seven months record of the
adjourned congress. All the more important
measures demanding its attention were either
defeated or neglected. The democratic war
cry is "tarif REFORM" yet the democratic
House failed to make any change in the tariff
laws. Needed legislation with reference to
silver coinage and currency matters was
withheld; the trade dollar nuisance not
abated; the so much demanded bankruptcy
act, and the law for the relief of the federal
courts were not passed; stringent measures
for the suppression of polygamy should have
been enacted, but were not; constitutional
amendment regulating the conditions of
marriage, legitimacy and divorce should have
been submitted, but was not; the presidential
succession should have been provided for,
but no action thereon was had postal teleg-
raphy should have been established, but il
was neglected; law should have been enact
ed providing for and regulating foreign
copyrights, but it was omitted an interna-
tional code of sea signals ought to have
been provided, but was not. All these i'm
portant measures and many others were
neglected, rejected, tabled, or died natural
death in the democratic House of Represent.
atives. Several of these necessary bills
we're acted on in the Senate-the bankruptcy
bill, an anti-polygamy bill, and measures tc
regulate the Presidential succession and the
electoral count-but nothing was done with
them in the House, by the self styled ant
self ordained democratic reformers, who
controlled that body.

OF course the result of the vote for can
didate for governor in the approaching re-
publican state convention cannot he fore
told. The contest, however, seems TO be
narrowed down to two prominent men
Hon. @. G. Luce and Gen. X. A. Alger. The
nomination of either of these men would be
a strong one. Mr.. Luce is one of our fore
most agriculturists, the Master of the State
Grange, man of acknowledged ability and
of large public experience, and deservedly
popular, especially with the farmers of the
state. His nomination would be source of
great satisfaction TO large number of Mich
igan republicans.
General Alger, is a successful business
man, Michigan soldier with an honorable
and enviable military record, capable and
able man, and one who has many warm
friends and jealous supporters in the ranks
of the republican party. His nomination
would be particularly acceptable and crafty
ing to the old soldiers of the state who
would take great pride in supporting a com
rade in arms, for the highest Office in the
state, thing they have never yet had the
privilege or opportunity of doing.
With either one of these men for our
standard bearer, victory will be assured.

The county convention to be held on Fri
day next, at Lawrence, will select delegates
to the state, congressional and senatorial
conventions. The only thing over which
there seems to be any probability of a con-
troversy, is the congressional delegation.
The republicans of Van Buren, county have,
in times past, frequently differed in opinion
in regard to candidates, but they have dem
onstrated that they can have lively contests
over the selection of standard bearers, and
acquiesce in the choice of their conventions.
We believe they will again show that they
fight their battles within the party, before
the nominations are made, and unite to fight
the common enemy afterward. Whatever
may be the outcome of our own county con-
vention, and of the congressional convention
to be held at Three Rivers on the 10Th
inst, all good republicans will abide the re-
cult and heartily support the nomination
there made by the delegates Whether our
standard bearer in the 4th congressional dis
trict shall be j. j. Woodman, j. G. Burrows,
f. w. Keightly, or some other of the prom
inent and able republicans of the district,
the honor will fall upon a man worthy of the
united support of the party, and, we doubt
not, that such support will be willingly,
cheerfully and zealously given, and that the
candidate there placed in nomination be
triumphantly elected.

Thousands fastened to their Graves

Relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language or some miraculous
cures made by some largely pulled up doc
tor or patent medicine has fastened thous-
ands to their graves; believing in their al
most insane faith that the same miracle
will be performed on them, and that these
testimonials make the cures, while the So
called medicine is all the time Fastening
them to their graves. We have avoided
publishing testimonials, as they do not
make the cures, although we have
THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS
of them, one of the most wonderful cures,
voluntarily sent US. 1t is our medicine,
Hop Bltters that makes the cures. 1t has
never failed and never can. We will give
reference to any for any disease similar to
their own if desired, or will refer to any
neighborhood in the known world but can
show its cures by Hop Bitters.
A LOSING JOKE.
A prominent physician of Pittsburg said
to lady patient who was complaining OF
her continued ill health, and of his inabil-
ty to cure her, jokingly said: "Try Hop
Bitters!" The lady took it in earnest and
used the Btters, from which she obtained
permanent health. She now laughs at the
doctor for his joke, but he is not so well
pleased with it, as it cost him good pa
tlent.
FEES OF Doctors.
The fees of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in. We be-
lieve the schedule for visits is $500, which
would tax man confined to his bed for a
year and in need of daily visit, over
81 900 year for medical attendant alone !
And one bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time
would save the ST. 600 and all the years
sickness.
