WAYNE County papers are not usually be.
hind the press of other cities in Boosting OF
the increasing wealth, population and pros
perity of the beautiful "City of the Straits, y
but, as the time for the meeting of the state
board of equalization approaches, with one
accord they begin to plead poverty and to
insist that Detroit is not such a very wealthy
city after all. and that she has to bear more
than her fair share of the burdens of state
taxation, and they are using every possible
effort and making use of every plausible ar
gument to have the valuation of Wayne
County reduced, as compared with the rest
of the state. Representatives of the agri-
cultural counties will need to be on their
guard, as Wayne is prepared to make
a vigorous fight on this matter. Supervisor
KnLuER of Bloomingdale, is Van Buren's
representative, and he is entirely competent
to look after her interests before the equal
izing board. If our county does not get what
is right, it will not be because Mr.. KILL
FER does not do his duty in the premises.

purpose of preventing his confirmation by
the United States senate. This matter is,
and has been, mainly a democratic fight and
republicans are very willing to let the war
fare wage. Mr.. POWERS concludes his III
rade against the two eminent iurists, whom
he seems to hold principally responsible for
his political misfortunes, in the following
language 1T is no more than fair that say
TO you both that henceforth shall camp on

some distance from the aforesaid trails; per-
haps, however, he will bivouack nearer by
when he next pitches his tent.

COMMENTING on the action of the parties
who invited President CLEVELAND to attend
the National encampment of the q. A. r., at
San Francisco and, at the same time, sent
him grand army badge TO be worn by him,
the Indianapolis Times very appropriately
and pertinently remarks:
This is contemplate toadyism. What
right has President CLEVELAND to wear a G.
A. Il. badge? His record during the war was
that of a young, able-bodied, single man,
who did not enlist, but when drafted, hired a
substitute. No man with such record can
wear G.. A. r.. badge. 1t would be piece
of objectionable presumption, even in a
president, to do it under such circumstances
If the president had by honorable service
won G. A. II. badge, he would not now be
engaged in yetoing pension bills. If it had
not been for those "vile guns he might
have been a soldier. When il comes to his
wearing G.. A. r. badge, the Grand Army
of the Republic will issue its veto. There
are no er post .facto soldiers in the Grand
Army"

Political PrOhibitiOniSts.

The bare mention of local option is suffi-
cient to make Michigan third party prohi-
bitionist fairly boil over, and yet they are
extremely fond of telling people about the
success of prohibition in the state of Geor-
gia. 1t has been remarkably successful in
that state and the NoRTHERNER rejoices that
it is so and would be pleased were it the
same success in every state in the Union !;
and yet, strange as it may appear, this desir-
able result in Georgia came about through
the practical application of this very doctrine
of local option, and through that alone
The political prohibitionists had nothing
whatever to do with it. Indeed, there are
no such people in that state. ST. JOHN, the
great third party leader, did not have a
corporals guard. only 16S votes in the entire
state, at the last election. Prohibition was
never, in any sense, party issue there. Nor
has prohibition ever yet been brought about,
in any state by the efforts of the prohibit
ton party, nor is it likely to be. Michigan
prohibitionists talk and act as though they
would have succeeded in winning brilliant
temperance victory if they could only &C
complish the defeat of the republican party and
place the democratic party in power,
party that is, in its platforms, plainly and
outspokenly opposed to all sumptuary laws,
which means, in plain English, opposition to
prohibition or restraint of the liquor traffic
in any form whatever. To be sure, that
party is just now busily engaged in patting
the third party on its diminutive back and
why? Simply because it realizes that it can
be used as tool to aid it in its vain attempt
to overthrow the republican party. The
leaders of the so-called prohibition party
exhibit greater desire for glory than for
good, their arguments have more sound than
sense and the course pursued by them man
ifests more craftsmanship than principle.

The republican senatorial convention for
the 10th senatorial district will be held at
Allegan on Wednesday, Sept. sth. Probably
all the Van Buren, delegates will have to do
will be to ratify the choice Of Allegan County.
Van Buren, has had the senatorship for four
years and it is but right that Allegan should
name the candidate for the next two terms.
If the candidate she may designate shall fill
the Office with as much honor TO himself and
as great degree of credit to his constituents
as has Hon. CHARLES j. MONROE, the people
of the tenth district will have no cause for COM
plant. The only man we have heard men
toned in connection with the nomination is
Bro. HENDERSON of the Allegan Journal and
Tribune.

The democratic party has been PECULIAR,

The democratic party has been peculiarly
unfortunate in the recent loss of so many of
its acknowledged leaders. HENDRICKS. SEY-
MoUR, KELLY. THOMPSON. TuDES. all are
dead. Considering the evenly balanced con-
dition of the two great political parties, the
death OF these men can but prove a great
misfortune to the party in power. and es-
pecially to the democracy of New York, of
which state all of the above named illustrious
men, except Vice President HENDRICKS. were
citizens. TILDEN, SEYMOUR and HENDRICKS
were recognized as great National leaders of
their party, while as local leaders and organ
izers. KELLY and THOMPSON had no superiors,
and, perhaps, no equals. There are, at the
present time, no men in the ranks of the
democratic party, who can successfully fill
the vacancy caused by the death of these
men.

Death Of Samuel j. Tilden.

SAMUEL j. TILDEN, the sage of Gramercy
Park, the great leader of the democratic par
ty, passed peacefully away on the morning of
the 4th inst, at his residence-Greystone-
on the Hudson. His death, which was occa-
stoned by heart difficulty, although sudden,
can hardly be said TO have been unexpected.
He has been, for years, in feeble health,
and his intimate friends have long known
that his time was limited and that his death
might occur at any time.
For many years, Mr.. TILDEN has been
recognized as prominently tie leader of the
democratic party, standing far above any
who have been or who are identified with
that party, and his death creates vacancy
that no living man is qualified to fill. He
has done far more, during the last decade,
TO reorganize the democratic party and to
infuse life and vigor into its ranks than any
other man. and it is to him the party owes
the degree of success that it has achieved.
But it is not only the democratic party
that will suffer by the death of Mr.. TILDEN,
for, Notwithstanding the fact that he was
thorough partisan, he was a lover of his
country and her interests and prosperity
were ever near his heart, and all the people
of the country have cause to mourn his loss.
1t is true that his intense partisanship led
him to sometimes undertake, or at least to
sanction, reprehensible political practices.
Especially was this the case in the great con-
test of 1876, when large sums of money were
attempted to be corruptly used in his behalf,
to thwart the result of that election after it
had been judicially determined by a court
created expressly for that purpose; but the
American people will be more prone to re-
member him for the good he has done than
for the evil he failed to accomplish. Ameri-'
ca has produced but few men who have left
greater impress on the affairs of the coun-
try than Mr.. TILDEN. The deceased statesman
had passed the three score and ten years allotted
to man, being at the time of his death. in his
I'D year. Truly, great man has fallen;
peace to his ashes.

By the passage of the oleomargarine bill
the manufacture and sale of that article is
brought under government control and sub
ject to government inspection. The tax i'm
posed is not large enough to cripple the in.
dustry nor to materially decrease its produc.
ton. but it must henceforth stand on its own
merits. 1t must be branded, and sold for
what it really is and not for what it is not
If the success of the manufacturers of and
dealers in butterine, olsomargarine, ETC., de.
pended on their being able to deceive the
consumer and to dispose of their goods as
the genuine product of the dairy. then their
business ought to be suppressed; but, on the
other hand, if their goods are meritorious
LET them be sold on their merits, and
being compelled SO to sell them can work nc
injustice to anyone.

One of the promises of the democratic
party was to reduce the surplus. Instead of
a reduction, there has been an increase.
The MORRISON surplus resolution was passed
to compel such reduction, but it failed to be-
come law for lack of the presidents sigma
ture. So this democratic administration can
continue to pile up money in the vaults of
the treasury, instead applying it where it
should be applied, to the extinguishment of
the public debt.

The great democratic circus Of Michigan
depends entirely on its annexes to draw
crowd. The performance in the main tent
has become so stale that it has ceased to be
attractive. Even the semi-annual stirring
up of the animals has lost its interest. Were
1t not for the prohibition and greenback
side shows there would not be enough
left TO make a street parade for the boys.
