The Washington Post, democratic
organ, finds It necessary to protest
against the star chamber methods OF
investigation and of prefering charges
against clerks, and does so in the follow
vigorous fashion:
Things were managed thus by the
council of ten when the life and honor
of the noblest in the land were ut the
mercy of every anonymous assassin.
Such methods flourished In the days of
Torquemada-even later, when NAL
ice, tyranny, hatred and savagery
nursed into evil life the lettre de each
ct. But civilization has long ago con-
demned them. and every fibre of a
freeman's heart protests against their
restoration. The transfer
of the government to the democracy
can be efsected without resorting to
methods SO unwholesome and abhor-
rent. This practice of incrim-
mating, prosecuting and condemning
republican office-holders, trying them
without hearing, and casting them
out branded with a nameless crime, is
the most Iepulsive thing to which our
politics has ever given birth. If per-
sisted in it will disgust and ALLEVIATE
every manly soul, and it will bury its
authors and contrivers fathoms deep in
odium.

The Democratic press is drumming
the tune that the war is over, that the
South was glad that it was whipped,
that the Southern people are loyal to
the Union, as those of the North, that
to say anything about the condition of
the negro is TO wave the bloody shirt,
and so on. The Ohio Republican
platform takes as the true and patriotic
ground that the attempt to disfranchise
class of voters is a matter of public
concern. 1t pledges the Republicans
of Ohio to policy that will protect
their rights. = Northern Tribune.

Gen. Logan In Boston.

A large number of prominent gentle
man, representing the bar, bench,
pulpit, platform, counting room and
council chamber, were in attendance
at the reception given Monday night
by the Norfolk club to Gen. John A.
Logan, at the Parker House.
In his speech Gen. Logan referred to
the debt which the west owes Massa-
chusetts, and to the influence exerted
by her. In nothing was this influence
more clearly and permanently imprint
ed upon the nation than In the matter
of education.

will guarantee personal rights will

A Question of Rights.

1t is generally admitted that what
man by labor produces is his against
the world. He has right to do as he
pleases with it, providing he does not
infringe the right of any other person.
If tailor makes coat and a cobbler
a pair shoes, what business has govern
ment to interfere If they wish to ex-

says to the cobbler and the tailor: go

choose and we stand here to keep out
siders off and give you fair play. We
shall not let any great, lusty, hulking
fellow. who has grown fat off the work
of starved labor, come between you to
rob one of you of a fair bargain and to
cheat the other, and without restric-
ton to force you both to accept the
product of his starved labor instead Of
each others products.
The tariff says further that this lusty
foreign producer shall not infringe on
the rights of the cobbler and the tailor,

nuity to make such an illustration-the
sophistical invention of impracticable
theory. The cobbler and the tailor
are not likely to be deceived however,
by any argument that favors the abro-

they are protected in their right to

such right by an outside party Diet.

Every week we secure new evidence
of the worth of Northern Michigan
becoming known. Our farmers have
as fine crops of the leading products
as can be expected-with the excep-
ton of corn, of which there is but lit
tie planted-from appearances. And
now comes tribute of praise in regard
to quality OF one of the products of
Northern Michigan, by a commission
merchant of Chicago, in the Tribune
of that city. He says: "old potatoes
would have dropped out of the market
three weeks ago, but Cor the shipments
from Northern Michigan of Burbanks,
Peachblows, Early Rose, Beauty of
Hebron, In Gerry fine condition. That
is an econium, coming as it does thr'o
one of the leading and most reliable
papers of the United States, that
should tickle the heart of every farm
er in Roscommon County, for it veri-
fles his knowledge of the quality, par
excellence, of his potatoes. He knows
he can beat the 'ould sod in regard to
quality, and when that is praised in a
centre like Chicago, it is a safe conclu-
sion to draw that Northern Michigan
potatoes may soon have world wide
reputation. Continuing his conversa-
ton with the reporter, the commission
merchant gives it as fact that the
country "around Traverse City will be
the best potato-producing district in
the United States, in the near future,
and that enterprising Chicago capital
lists have gone up there to establish po-
tato-farms. We are in the tier of
counties Immediately south of Grand |
Traverse County, and but one county
intervenes to the west, and il has fa-
nous local reputation for the excel
lence of this product, we have good
grounds on which to include Roscom-
mon in the "best pototo-growing dis
trict" of the future.-RoS WeDS.
