The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1886-07-23

The Concord N. H. Independent
Statesman: 1t has gone into history
that within twenty years after the
close Of the War of the Rebellion
the finding of the most important
court martial in that struggle for the
maintenance OF the Union, was re
versed by the votes of IT men who
were in the Confederate service. On
that court martial Gen. Garfield
served, and its findings were approved
by President Lincoln, and now these
two loyal presidents have had their
acts in time of war reversed by the
men who were then traitors to the
Union. These facts can never be
effaced from history.
The Hon. ]. X. Bodwell, the can
didate for Governor in the state of
Maine, in a recent public address
gave utteTance to the following:
"When man or woman are doing
the same work 1t is unjust not 10 pay
equally. My opinion is that the rate
OF wages should not depend upon
whether the laborer is man or
woman. The rule should be, same
work, same pay" This view of
that question is so evidently fair and
just that il ought TO commend itselfto
the good sense of the people every
where.
The Portland, Maine, Press, in a
recent issue, makes capital hit and
good point when it says: The
Democrats Of New Hampshire
pledged to President Cleveland their
united support Sin his efforts to re-
form the deep seated abuses, the out
growth of long years of Republican
misrule." They very wisely, how
ever, RETAINED from undertaking to
mention what the deep-seated abuses
were.
The Nashua, N. H., Telegraph says:
The Boston Herald reads Mr.. Ran
dali and his "a associates who voted
against the Morrison bill out of the
Democratic party. This is the first
information vouchsafed the public
that the President has filled the office
of political eAcommunicator by the
appointment Of Colonel Haskell. 1t
is all day with Mr.. Randall now, for
the grand excommunicator has him
on the list.
The Adrian Times says: The
chances are that more OF our people
would favor the Hon Geo. A. Smith
for Governor than any other man at
present mentioned for the nomina-
ton.
indianapolis Journal; General
David Hunter was president OF the
court martial that hung the conspir'
ators in the assassination Of President
Lincon and Secretary Seward. He
was president of the court martial
that cashiered FitZ John Porter.
With this record, it is not much won
der that Democratic President, who
in ore minute could approve the bill
to restore disloyal general to the
army rolls would the next veto the
bill to give $50 month to the widow
of General Hunter. Both acts were
eminently Democratic.
The Granite State Free Press:
Collector Higgins of New York has
removed 800 faithful, competent
and experienced clerks, for no other
reason than because they are Repub
Leans, and appointed 400 active
Democratic partizans in their places.
And this under civil service reform
President. No wonder the mug
wump N. Y. Times is disguised.
State Republican: If that part OF
Michigan known as Michigan legis
lature could see the agricultural col
lege at this season of the year, it.
beautiful lawn, its well kept grounds,
its handsome buildings, its well clad,
we'll fed and intelligent looking stu
dents, its Thorough going, practical,
painstaking faculty, fron president
down to superintendent of farm, its
general air of thrift, wholesome fnd
usefulness, it would not hesitate in
voting the institution such sums of
money as might be considered neces'
sary to carry out thoroughly the
broadcast anticipations Of its inspect
ors. The agricultural college in its
entirety, is today the handsomest
spot in this state, it is the paradise of
this beautiful peninsula, and is well
worthy of the deepest solicitude of
those who have its development and
future prosperity in hand.
Democratic organs are frantically
calling upon old soldiers to notice
that the President did not veto all
the pension bi.ls Perhaps he was
TOO tired.
Congressman are suffering from
heat, says Washington despatch.
But that is all right. The people are
| suffering from Conoressmen.
