We ask the attention of the reader

We ask the attention of the readers
of THE TINES to the prospectus OF
the Chicago Inter. Ocean, published
in another column. 1t is reliable
protective journal, edited in the in.
terest of the working classes, and
should have wide circulation.
These are troublous times in the
Old World. Russia is trembling at
the power of the Nihllisls. Bismarck
finds it well-nigh impossible to con-
troll the Reichstag. Italy has just re-
covered from the plague, and is about
being drawn into the Egyptian
trouble, as is also Turkey. Spain
suffers from the deadly earthquake,
and Switzerland from the terrible
avalanche France wages unjust
war with China and the Hovas, while
England is convulsed bv the action
of dynamiters at home, and gloemly
apprehensive Of the fate of General
Stewart and his brave troops in the
Soudan.
The report Of the bureau of stats.
tics shows that the merchandise ex-
ports for December were SoI,2o4, sio
an amount which has been exceeded
but twice before, namely, during De-
cemDer, 1880, and December, 1854.
The imports, on the other hand, for
the same time were less than during
any previous month since July, 1879,
being but S4s,I3o,3o4.
The editor of THE TINE. acknowl.
edges with thanks the receipt of a
copy of the annual almanac issued by
the Chicago Daily News. 1t is we'll

He was supposed to be worth hun.
dred thousand dollars, and he flattcred
himself that when he slept an hour lat.
er than usual in the morning all the
business of the city waited for him tc
get out of bed. When a letter arrived
a few days ago demanding his presence
in New England for three or four weeks
he hesitated to 60. He knew just how
brOken-up the city would be, and he
had his fears that nothing would be
done in the paving line, and that all
building would at once stop dead
still.
However, the prominent citizen at
length decided to 60, and he got of
quietly. Nobody rushed out to stop
him and beg him to put off his journey,
and as far as he has since learned the
Council has passed no resolutions OF
regret He returned the other evening,
and great was his surprise to find the
city still here. 1t hadn't strayed OF
been stolen. The City Hall hadn't
tumbled down, and he couldn't find
grass growing in any of the business
streets. This was bad enough, but as
he walked up street he met friend
who called out
"Hello! Blank, going awayP"
'No, sir; have just returned from a
months trip to New England"
Indeed! Why, l haven't even missed
YOU"
A few steps further on he encounter
ed another, who was still more sur
prised to hear that he had been absent,
and added:
"And the papers didn't even mention
the fact!'
The prominent citizen reached home
to find everything running as smoothly
and satisfactorily as when he left. 1t
was great shock to him, but the eli
max came when he was called to the
door to see humble-looking man, who
said:
"You know l was talking with you
three or four days ago about trimming
up your trees, and 1 called to say it
would be q job worth about four dol
lars"

had never before heard so able and
convincing, at the same time so unan
swerable an argument on the Consti-
tutional question as was that of SEN
ator Carvelh last Friday.
1t is due Senator Pulver that we
should say that he is in no way re
sponsible for the outrageous articles
which appear in The Mail concerning
citizens Of Owosso, and that he has
no sympathy with the sentiments
expressed. We, also, desire 10 say
that no reference was made to him
in our article last week, as we knew
he did not write the article to which
that was reply.

the candid consideration of our law
makers, as we doubt not it will.
A villainous assault was made by
some party, by circulars placed on
the desk of each Senator, on the
character of Hon. Charles V. De.
Land, the 10 be Commissioner of La,
Dor, on Friday. The purpose was 10
prevent his confirmation when his
name is sent in, as it will probably
be early next week. But from what
we can learn we believe the only re-
suit of the circular will be to ensure
his confirmation by very large vote.
A bill that ought to pass, Is one

ANNIHILATE THE FIENDS I

The recent fen dish attempt to
blow up Westminster Hall, the House
Of Commons, and the Tower of Lon
don, by the dynamiters deserves, as
is receiving, the excavations Of all
Christendom.
England is naturally thrown into a
fearful ferment and the cause Of indie.
dependent Ireland is likely to be
greatly retarded thereby, and ye,
there does not yet seem to be any
very good evidence that any man
representing the responsible element
favoring Irish independence is in any
way responsible for this wanton out
rage.
The money loss is put at the mere
nominal sum of $4,000, but that is
only a 1.-THE Of the actual loss, the
amount of which can never be esti-
mated or even approximaied. The
resulting insecurity to the business
investments, the increased police ex-
penditures and the bitter hostility en-
gendered between 1.-The English and
Irish people means a great deal in
dollars and cents, besides all the
trouble, sorrow and suffering it en-.
tails. 1t is time such acts were made
a practicable impossibiHty by the
combined action of all civilized gov
ernments, and we are greatly sur.
prised that Mr.. Parnell, probably the
ablest living Irishman, and usually
a bold defender OF the right on broat
and liberal grounds, made no refer
ence to this terrible outrage on hu
manity in his recent mastery speech
defending the interests of his nation
But The TINES trusts that the guilt,
parties, be they Irishmen, English
men or Americans by adoption, ant
we have some fears that they belon,
to the latter class, will all be founc
and sternly dealt with as they surel,
will be under English laws. And M
true man, whatever his nationality
can, for moment, condone sucl
fiendish acts.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The speech of Senator John Car.

of the majority report Of the Judiciary
committee, sustaining the right oil
Charles r.. Henry, the Senator from
the aoth district, to retain his seat
was mastery effort, clear, clean,
logical and eloquent. He went to
the bottom Of the Constitutional
question, and showed beyond, il
seems to us possible doubt, tina,
the purpose of the Constitution on
this question was not to exclude per.
sons from seats in the Legislature
who were elected while holding a
county Office, but 10 prevent county
officers from being members of the

We think the editor Of the Grand
Traverse Herald was little off his
base when he penned the following:
"The United States should own the
whole Portage Lake business from
Keweenaw Bay to Lake Superior,
but $4,000 is $4,000 too much
to pay for it." We think the general
government ought and must control
that improvement, and make the ca
nails free to the commerce of Michi-
gan, and that they had better pay a
million dollars for them than to al
low them to remain the property of
the company which now controls
them

To the candid consideration of the
friends of the restoration of capital
punishment in this State, We COM
mend the following from the Grand
Traverse Herald:
They hung a man down in Pennsyl-
vania the other day on purely circum-
stantial evidence. His last words
we're, "You are hanging and inno-
cent man." And his words will
probably prove true, some day, when
the secret of the murder comes out.
There have been many just such
cases. A bill has been introduced in
our own Legislature to restore the
death penalty. Go slow gentlemen.
The st. Johns Independent learns
from a reliable source that "the
chances are very slim for the building
of the railroad from Lansing to Mt.
Pleasant, and that the company are
negotiating with the L. A. A. & N.
M. road to run to Alma, thus giving
them a southern outlet at Owosso."

more especially desires 10 call public
attention to matter Of courtesy in
passing foot passengers while one is
riding. True, almost always, when a
person is walking alorg the country
roads in summer time, and sees a
team coming 1t is quite easy and nat
ural 10 step aside and yield the road
TO the team. But in winter time
when the snow is deep, it is not al
ways and easy matter to do SO. And,
yet there are a large number of
thoughess drivers who practically
compel every man or woman they
meet or pass, to step into The snow
and let them have the whole Of the
beaten track, and the person on foot
has no redress, he or she must do
that or be run over. Now, we pro
test, that this is all wrong and should
be righted. 1t is easy for thought
full driver to slacken a little and yield
enough of the beaten track so that
the foot passengers can pursue their
way without being crowded into the
snow. Those who drive teams will
do well TO think of this matter and
exercise the courtesy 10 pedestrians
which is their right, and which would
be exceedingly becoming on the part
of our tcamsters. But a word to the
thoughtful is usually sufficient, and
we only desired 10 call attention to
the subject in the interest of those
not fortunate enough to be able TO
drive teams every time they have oc-
casion to pass along our public streets.

A New Use for Toads.

The latest and most ingenious way of getting rid of reaches and water bugs we have heard of, is related of a citizen of Schenectady, whose kitchen was infested with them.
 A servant, hearing that toads were an antidote, caught three or dinary hop toads and put them in the kitchen. Not a roach, or water bug, it is stated, can now be found in the house. The tOads have be- come domesticated. never wander about the house, and are so cleanly and inoffensive that there is no objection to their presence.
 Another use for toals is to em- ploy them for insect destroyers in the garden. They are determined enemies of all kinds of snails and slugs, which, it is we'll known, can in a single night destroy a vast quantity of lettuce, carrots, aspar- agus, etc. Toads are also kept in vineyards, where they devour du- ring the night millions of insects that escape the pursuit of nocturn- al birds, and might commit incal- culable havoc on the buds and young shoots of the vine. In Paris toads are an article of merchandise. They are kept in tubs, and sold at the rate of two francs a dozen.

The President on POlygamy.

A Washington special to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of the 18th inst, says: The other day Judge o. w. Powers, of Michigan, one of MT. Cleveland's appointees to the bench in Utah, had two hours conversation with the President. The subject was the enforcement of the laws against polygamy in Utah. Judge Powers says the President Is determined to wage as fierce war as possible against the Mormons, and has instructed the judicial officers to carry out the law most vigorously. A large number of leading Mormons are now under indictment, among them being John Taylor and George Q. Cannon, the two being at the pres ent fugitives from justice. Judge Powers says the Mormons gener- ally are rapidly recognizing the fact that the Government is in dead earnest, and that they only preach and practice polygamy when they are out of sight of the officers of the law.

Georgia has just been provided with a local option law which leaves the matter of prohibiting or for. bidding the sale of liquors entirely with the people of each county. An election must be held on the question whenever one-tenth of the voters petition for it; and in the event of a decision in favor of li- cense, another election may be held two years later. Such law cer- tainly affords ample means for dealing with the liquor issue, and yet keeps it out of party politics, where it does not in any sense pro- perly belong.
