Brutality to the Laws

LONDON, Feb. THE Jews in Tan
giers have forwarded to the Anglo
Jewish association mass of evidence
concerning the recent outrages against
the Jews by the Moors. The govern
ment, 1t would appear, ordered the
rabbi of one of the synagogues venera-
bic man to receive $50 lashes for some
trivial ohense. The rabbi is now
dying from the effects of the torture.
Women. young and old, are ravished,
ana children murdered in their
mothers arms. The agents sent by the
sultan to inquire into the atrocities ac-
cepted bribes and reported falsely. The
Anglo-Jewish association is urged to
secure the intercession OF the British
foreign minister.

The Fountain Of Youth.

Dyspepsia is the prevailing malady OF
civilized life. A weak dyspeptic stomach
acts very slowly or not at all on many kinds
of food; gases are extricated, acids are
formed and become source Of pain and
disease until discharged. To be dyspeptic
is to be miserable, hopeless, depressed, con-
fused in mind, forgetful, irresolute, drowsy,
weak, languid and useless. 1t destroys the
Teeth, Complexion, Strength, Peace of
Mind and Bodily ease. 1t produces Head
ache, Pain in Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness
OF Chest, Dizziness, Sour Fluctuations OF
Stomach, Bad Taste in Mouth, Bilious
Attacks, Palpitation Of Heart, Inflammation
of Lungs, Pain in the region Of the Kidneys,
and q hundred other painful symptoms.
Dyspepsia invariably yields to the vege-

tee does not believe Gov. Beeole was peeuniarily
benefited by the transaction, Notwithstanding the
loss OF the COMMITTEES TO determine the motives
which actuated his most extraordinary conduct. A
Referring to the conduct of Gen. Shakes
peare and his expenditure of the moneys
paid TO him, in the purchase of cloth for uni
forms, of the firm of nj. Israel d Co. of
Kalamazoo, the committee says the material
SO purchased cost the state from $4,000 to
$1,000 more than il was worth, and that,
William Shakespeare, as officer OF the state OF
Michigan, was guilty OF misfeasance, collision nd
robbery, or that he has been guilty OF negligence
indifference or stupidity In being made the weak
dupe of willy merchant in this unprecedented pur-
chase your committee forced to infer.
The committee expresses the belief that q
civil action will lie against Gen. Shakespeare
for the amount paid in excess of the value OF
the value of the goods SO purchased. When
Gov. Begole was elected, the democrats pro,
fessed to have great desire to examine the
books and records, and they had the oppor-
tunity, not only to inspect the books, but to
do a little book keeping of their own. The
result does not appear to have been particu-
larly beneficial to the interests of the people
and it is, doubtless, q very good thing that
their lease of power was not prolonged.

Day of Choosing Electors.

The choice of electors OF President
and Vice President belongs to the
States. but Congress has the power to
fix the time when they shall be chosen.
In 1892, March /, Congress passed an
act requiring that the time for electing
electors should be within thirty-four
days preceding the first Wednesday
In December OF each Presidential year,
thus giving the States margin of over
thirty days within which they might
hold the election of electors. But as il
was found that this margin of time
gave opportunity for fraudulent combi-
nations. and the importation of repeat
ers from one state to another, the law
was repealed in 1916. January % of
that year Congress passed an act fixing
upon the Tuesday next after the first
Monday in November in each Presiden-
tial year, as the day on which electors
should be elected throughout the Uni
ted States. BY clause in the Consti-
tuition, the day on which the electors
shall cast their votes for President, has
always been and must always be, the
same in all the States.

The Michigan legislature will adjourn on
the 18th inst. The record made by the leg
islature of 1856 is a good one ana will COM
pare very fayorably with that of any of its
predecessors. Our own county has reason
to feel proud of the able manner in which
Hon. G. j. Monroe, nothing need be said to
commend him to the approval of his con-
stituents. His first term, followed by his
unanimous denomination, and triumphant
reelection, was convincing evidence of the
high regard in which he is held by the citi-
liens of his district and he will stand still
higher in their esteem at the close of this,
his second term. Were it not for the fact
that Van Buren, county is hardly entitled to the
next senator, the NoRTHERNER would not hes
itate TO urge upon the republican party the
wisdom of presenting Mr.. Monroe for
third term.
Hon. j. G. Parkhurst, our own represent
alive, has proven himself to be an able legis-
lator, an indefatigable worker, faithful to
NAA"b 10 Las NSSAAAO0 W NC uiiN dAAAOuo
to represent the interests of the people of
the first district in all things, To the best of
his ability. Among other things, he has dis
tinguished himself as being a firm and true
friend of the old soldiers of our state, and
has missed no opportunity to render them
faithful and efficient service.
hon. j. S. Cross, like MIR. Parkhurst, was
new and untried man in our halls of legis
lation, but the event proves that the repub
hcans of the second district made no mistake
when they selected him as q fit person to re-
present them in the legislative branch of our
state government. Quiet and unobtrusive
in deneanor, be has, nevertheless, been at
tentive to the duties Of his Office and shown
himself to beacapable, painstaking legislator.
The NoRTHERNER very much mistakes the
temper of the republican electors of Van
Buren, county, if both of these honorable
gentlemen are not returned TO the next leg
islature, where, with the accumulated expert
ence of the present session, they win be able
TO still better represent the people of Van
Buren, county, and their many and varied
interests.

The RECENT terrible Indian outrages in the
West, only add emphasis to the statement
that the only good Indians are the dead
ones" There has been altogether too much
Miss Nancyism in dealing with these red
devils of the far west. When an Indian com
mits crime and is subsequently captured
let him be subjected to the same penalty as
white man, and not sent back to the reser-
vation to be fed and fatted at the expense of
the government until such time as he deems
best TO take the war path again. white
man ought to be as good as an Indian in the
estimation of our own government.

.Toame, the web of spider is truly a
study, and I learn many things from it.
First, i note the patience of the little
spider In spinning his delicate threads.
What a model of this virtue he is? He
is far from being pretty, but his work
and his virtue OF patience are beautiful,
surely. Then think of the skill the
fellow has.
And another thing learn from ugly
Mr.. Spider is that patience wins. i
never saw spider (and I've been ac-
quainted with good many of them, and
Like to watch the morose looking speci-
mens), who don't catch something nice
in his trap before he gives up.
go to the ant, thou sluggard," and
sGo to the spider, thou impatient"
ought to go hand in hand, as proverbs
And another thing. You may say
what you please, but gentleness tells.
Who ever saw n rough, burly spider !?
Spiders know that they can catch more
flies with soft, delicate meshes than in
rough ways.
A spider might spit at the flies and
chase them, and get all his family at
work shouting after them, and never
catch fly in the world. But he is gen.
tie, and seems to know the old proverb,
that you can catch more flies with sugar
than with vinegar. But see the way he
sits at the center of his web-work, and
feels out, as it were all along the wires,
to the very extremity of his meshes,
that sparkle in the sunshine.
Every thread is like one of his own
nerves. think all this is like the hui
man heart. The threads are like our
affections. Touch our feelings, and the
heart at the center feels it in mo-
ment.
Let us try and keep our feelings soft
and tender. Let conscience respond to
the slightest touch. We sit, as it were,
in the midst OF delicate network of
thought and affection. Let us be ten
der of the feelings of each other. The
heart feels the slightest touch that is
laid even on the most distant part of
the vast and intricate network of which
it is the center.

The majority report of the senate military
committee, censures ex-governor Begole and
ex-quartermaster general Shakespeare in very
forcible terms for their actions in connection
with the $4,000 collected for the state, by
Friend Palmer, of the general government
and Of which, by contract with Mr.. Begole,
Mr.. Palmer pocketed twenty five per cent
The committee say:
Ne found it very difficult TO ascertain the author
ity by which Josiah W. Begole the governor OF this
state, entered into the contract set forth with Mr..
Palmer, by what authority the extraordinary
commission paid, by what authority the
S3l 7s94s was paid to william Shakespeare quarter
master general.
Even If Gov. Begole had teen advised by the
proper person that the claim would lapse, as he
states he had right authority to enter into any
contract with Friend Palmer, or any other person,
for the collection of the claim as governor of the
state Of Michigan; and when he executed the con-
tract with Mr.. Palmer agreeing upon the exorbitant
commission of Is per cent Of the amount collected
he exceeded his authority governor and all dscre-
tion citizen.
The report censures the ex-governor

tive.
