1t is but few short weeks since
DR.. Hess, the specialist Of Grand
Rapids, was induced to visit Owosso
at the earnest request of many who
had heard of his skill as a physician.
His reputation had preceded him
and when the dates were annouced
that he would be here, the lame, the
blind and the halt focked TO his
rooms seeking advice and medical
aid. Many stubborn cases that had
been considered incurable have since
been cured by him. We have not
the time nor the space to mention
the cures already performed by him,
suffice it to say he handles all long
standing and hopeless cases with the
skill of physician that has thor
ough knowledge of what to do.
More especially in the treatment OF
cancer, lung and stomach troubles.
The success which attends his treat
ment is both surprising and marvel

A we'll known Boston Independent
writes to the Evening Journal Of
New York, that from such of the
"written evidence as l have seen l
am convinced that not only is Grover
Cleveland as vile a man socially as
there is in the country, but that he is
one of the greatest fools, and cannot
vote for him, nor do l see how any
man can who has any regard for the
typical American home" The ques
ton is who among the Independents
has been taking this testimony and
why they do not publish it for the
benefit of the men who believe in
typical American homes" and that
he who dishonors one is not worthy
of the high franchise Of an Ameri-
can citizen, much less its chief execu-
tive position.
TIC lew COlOICu SOtSto iu VIC
county Of Shiawassee, we commend
the following brief extract from
the address of Hon. Fred. Douglass,
Americas most distinguished colored
orator and statesman, to the colored
men. lately in Convention at Washing
ton to determine what they should do
in this particular campaign. He says,
GO home, colored men, and learn
this political catechism: You are un-
der the American flag to-day. Who
put you there! The Republican
party. You are American citizens
to-day. Who made you such =? The
Republican party. You are eligible
to any Office of honor or profit in
the gift of the nation. Who made
you so? The Republican party.
You have the constitutional right to
vote to-day. Who gave you TIL
right? The Republican party.
Millions of colored people have been
emancipated and set free. BY what
party was this done? By the Re-
publican party"

The following is from Col. Akin
sons speech at Detroit:
He delivered an able and exhaus-
tive discourse in favor of protection
and continued: Having gone over
the history of the older tariff meas
urcs, now call your attention to the
situation OF the country since the ia
riff of 1861 when the Republican par.
ty came into power.
From 1860 to 1880 our population
increased 60 per cent. The value of
our farms increased 2r2 per cent.
our exports $50 per cent, and our
railroad mileage 1873 per cent. Our
harbors have been improved, An i'm
mense number of lighthouses have
been built as aid to navigation. And
three railroads have been constructed
across the continent. Our exports are
nearly double our imports, so that
every year there is large surplus OF
money accumulating in the country.
The wages of the laboring men are
higher than in free trade times, and
his net earnings after paying his liv-
ing expenses are very much greater.
We have spent over 10000, 900, :
900 in the great war that was forced
upon us in 1861. We withdrew also
from active employment for nearly
three years 100000 men, so that
their labor during that period was
lost 10 the country. We added to
the army of laborers during that peri
cd 1000, 900 who were formerly
slaves, with the full right to compete
in all departments of life with their
fellow citizens.
Notwithstanding this immense
waste of labor and money the credit
OF the United States, which was so
low IN 1900 that our treasury notes
had to be issued at IS per cent. and
our bonds sold for less than 80 cents
has SO appreciated that to-day United
States bonds are eagerly sought for at
par and at 3 per cent interest. Now,
with these facts before our minds,
it requires very little argument to
show which system is best for this
country, when the value of our farms
increasing nearly four times as rapid
as our population, with the money
received from our exports nearly
double that which We pay for imports,
and with the credit of the nation as
high as any other in the world, we
certainly have very little to complain
of. The map who is producing
twice as much as he consumes must
necessarily become rich, and it seems
to me the same rule applies to q
nation.

A FOOlhardy Exploit.

When in Garibadis British legion at
the bombardment of Capua, soldier,
who afterward became Brigadier General
MacIver, was challenged for basket of
wine to show himself over the breast
works ''fOr one short minute" The next
minute he sprang on the parapet. Zip
zip-zip - zip - whisted the bullets
around him, and there he stood as calm
ly as if on parade, firing and reloading
firing and reloading, and still without
&C sation the lip-zip-zip of the leaden
messengers of death signing around him
and even striking near him, like fierce
storm of hail. Ere long his cap was
shot off his head, his loose red Garibal-
dian shirt was perforated, and his body
actually grazed in many places, and yet
he kept his stand. Each instant his com
rades expected to see him fall back dead
or MORALLY wounded, but he never
flinched nor stirred even except to load
or discharge his rifle. Most of the Off
GERS were almost paralyzed at his te
merity, but at length one of them called
out: "For heavens sake, MacIver, come
down! You have tempted Providence
too long" Thus adjured, the young
Highlander fired parting shot from his
rifle, and then coolly lighted cigar with
his face still to the enemy. Then he
turned deliberately round and jumped
among his astonished companions, hay
ing been five minutes on the parapet.

LIFE AND DEATH,

Oh solemn portal yelled in mist and cloud,
Where all who have lived throng in, an end
less line,
Forbid to tell by backward look or sign
What destiny awaits the advancing crowd.
Bourne crossed but once with no return al
lowed;
Dumb spectral gate, terrestrial yet divine,
Beyond whose arch all powers and fates com
bine,
Pledged to divulge no secrets of the shroud-
Close, close behind we step, and strive to
catch
Some whisper in the dark, some glimmering
light;
Through circling whirls of thought intent. to
snatch
A drifting hope-a faith that grows to sight
And yet assured whatever may befail,
That must be somewhow best that comes to
all.
