The opposition press of the Dominion hint
strongly that the purchase of the yacht
Yosemite was piece of jobbery on the part
of Minister Foster. 1t is intimated that she
is an unseaworthy boat, totally unfit for the
purpose for which the government ostensi-
bly, bought her, and that she was recently
sold as low as $1,000. while the Dominion
government paid $4,000 for her.

The Argus is scattering its pages over with
the sayings of its candidates. Here is one
from Candidate Edwards, which we fail to
find among the number. Probably the omis-
sion is purely accidental;
''Gen. Chamberlain is traitor, and if the
party had been of my mind they would have
pulled the State House down over their
heads, If it had killed every one of them"
Here is another from the same candidate:
The Grand Army is a set of bummers."
Here's one from Candidate Clifford:
Our government was framed to be one of
law. Grant has made 1t the government of a
person. Now. such distortion NAV result
either from ignorance or INSCRIPTIONS ambi-
ton. With Grant it results from ignorance.
The reformers seek to rescue the government
from the dull and logged ignorance of an
unteachable President. ** We
attack alone the corrupt, sordid, personal ad-
mihistration of Grant. Weak, uncertain,
absurd as it is, it is too dangerous to be en-
dured.

between the United States and Japan a
treaty of extradition more comprehensive and
satisfactory than any which we have nego-
tiated with European powers. We shall then
be able to reclaim from Japan any defaulter

The Maine Democracy seem to have soft
side for the Mormons also. The Belfast Age
winds up long attack upon Mr.. Reeds and
Senator Hale's criticisms of the Democratic
House for refusing to strengthen the Ed
munds anti-polygamy law, in this fashion,
With all that has been written and said
about the peculiarities of that people 1.-THE
Mormonsl and their polygamous sins, the
fact remains that they are religious sect,
and that they have about as much Bible to
support them as many of the so-called relig-
ious Sects have. And as to their habits in
other respects there is no more Industrious,
sober and orderly community in the United
States. And 1t is becoming a question
whether craftsmanship cannot evolve some
better and more suitable method of dealing
with them than has thus far been applied.
The Argus regards it as sublimated non
sense to say that the liquor sellers desire the
triumph of the Prohibition party. No doubt
it is, but nobody has said that. What MI.
this:
1t is notorious fact that all the secret viola
tors OF the proh1bit0ry law in Maine who are en-
gagged in the clandeStine and unlawful sale of liq-
uor regard this separate movement as the begin
ming OF the destruction of prohibition in Maine
and are ready and eager therefore, TO promote 1t
In every way in their power
That statement is true. The liquor sellers
are well aware that this third party move
ment cannot triumph, but they are in hopes
that it may draw away enough votes from
the Republicans to throw the State into the
hands of the Democrats, who, no longer ago
than last June, in convention assembled,
avowed hostility to the prohibitory law.

GATHER CONFUSING

The Argus has never believed in prohibit
ton as the wisest method of promoting tenn
perance in communities where large pro-
portion of its citizens are liquor drinkers /;
and if those citizens would have voted as
have favored making the square issue, and
if the majority were in favor prohibition,
would of course have acquiesced; obeyed the
law, and sustained it's enforcement. But
citizens VIGOROUSLY did not vote as they
drinked [sic]; and then there was no other
as meaning just what they voted for--prohi-
bition-sustain its execution, give it fair
trial, and then after few years Of expert
ence with it, if it did not prove satisfactory,
to make fair open issue of continuing pro-
hibition or adopting some other method of
promoting temperance-as high license for

The Bay City Tribune is responsible
for the two following items
The Detroit, Bay City d Alpena
railroad will soon begin running a
through train from Detroit to Alpena
by way of Bay City. When this is
done, Bay City will be the division
headquarters.
The Mackinaw road is being grad
ully improved in roadbed, rolling
stock and depot properties, and it is
even limited that another track will
be constructed from Bay City to
Mackinaw. This is improbable. The
grade between the two points is 800
feet and this is not advantageous. If
second line to the straits is put in.
it is more likely to be a continuance
of the Detroit, Bay City and Alpena
railroad which connects at Alger with
the Michigan Central. It's route all
the way to Alpena is on level with
Lake Huron and the country between
Alpena and the straits is equally
favorable for railroad building.
Another great advantage by the shore
route is that the snow blockades in
winter are not encountered.

The contest was between the dudes"
and the "Mother Hubbards. Before
the game commenced, the players
skated a few times around the rink, to
allow the spectators to see how they
were costumed. Each side was dress
ed to represent the character they
took. After the Dudes had escorted
the Mother Hubbards few times
around the skating floor, the game
commenced, and was a spirited one.
The first gaol was won by the Mother
Hubbards, and the second and third
by the Dudes.
