THE Detroit Tribune will not increase its
popularity by its criticisms on Senator Lo-
GAN in connection with the PAYNE inyestiga-
ton. The senator may have made mistake
i'll his conclusions concerning the matter,
but. if he has, it is an honest mistake and
such an expression as 1.-THE distinguished
senator from Illinois should lasso his mouth -
comes with i'll grace from our esteemed con-
temporary. Senator LOGAN, in the estima-
ton of majority of the citizens of this
country. has no occasion to lasso his
mouth" We are not at all sure but the
Tribune is right in disagreeing with the
conclusions of the distinguished senator;
we are inclined to think il is We only OBJ
iect to the language in which il clothes its
criticisms. The NoRTHERNER has a very
high degree of respect for the 7riJuHe and
honors it for its staunch republcanism and
for the good work it is doing for the repub-
lican party and, therefore, dislikes to see it
impair its usefulness 10y using language
toward Senator LoGAN and other distin.
guished republicans that. it appears TO us, is
uncalled Cor and unwarranted.

The political campaign in this county, so
far as the republican party is concerned, may
now be considered as fairly opened. An
efficient county committee has been selected
and, under the leadership of that energetic
republican worker, Mr.. X. w. NoYEs. assisted
by our efficient county clerk as secretary the
republicans of old Van Buren, may well an
ticipate that the campaign will be vigorous
one. Every republican in the county should
be ready to stand by the committee and aid
it in its work. Republican clubs ought to be
formed in every township, yes in every
school district. in the county. No effort
should be spared to win an overwhelming
victory. With proper display of activity
and vigor, our county can easily roll up one
of its old time republican maiorities. She
now occupies proud position as the banner
republican county of the lower peninsula.
Shall that position be retained? Republicans
of Van Buren, County with you rests the re-
sponsioility of answering this query. Let
there be no apathy, no luke-warm support of
the ticket but let every republican do his
whole duty from now until the close of the
polls on the I'd of November and there will be
not the slightest doubt of winning brilliant
victory over any combination that may be
put into the field against us.

ONCE more have the republicans Of Van
Buren, County led OFF in the fourth dis
trict congressional campaign, and again, as
in the past. her delegation is "solid for
BUBRows." Nothing short of the candidacy
of some one of her own citizens could have
prevented this result. The republicans of
this county are well satisfied with their pres
ent representative ana do not desire a change.
unless to one of her own citizens. and even
that is matter OF a great deal of doubt.
Should Mr.. Burrows receive the nomination,
and the NoRTHERNER thinks he will, he will
receive the same hearty support that he has
so often received before.

CONGRESSMAN TUCKER of Virginia, has in
troduced bill to pension one n. II. VAN
ZANDT at the rate of seventy-fye dollars per
month. The applicant is described as late
lieutenant of the United States navy That
looks all right. Why shouldn't Mr.. VAN
ZANDT have pension? The only reason
the NoRTHERNER can allege against it is that
he was too 81 late lieutenant etc. Within
two weeks after the beginning of the " late
unpleasantness,' the late lieutenant" re-
signed his commission IN the United!States
navy and accepted another in the navy of
the late confederate states" There is just
little too much " lateness" about this prop
osition of the Virginia congressman.

a MOST pathetic instance of that reluc-
lance to acknowledge the weakness and
inability attendant upon old age was pre-
sented by the last days of Assistant Secre-
tary of State HUNTER. whose death-bed was
tormented by the thought that without his
aid the department must be involved in ir-
remediable ruin. II is stated that no person
in the U. S. is so thoroughly posted in the
political affairs of Europe as was Mr.. Hun
TER. who was familiar with all the details of
continental history for at least fifty years
back. 1t is no wonder, after fifty-seven
years of pains-taking labor in the service
of his country, that nothing could make him
believe that the work of the Office. could be
successfully carried on in his absence.

the cheapest we have ever offered at
any previous period. Now all the

PROBABLY it is impossible for a man to
become SO depraved or to commit SO vile or
heinous a crime that there cannot be found
women who are ready to exalt him into a
hero. This tendency on the part OF GER
tain class of weak minded females was forci-
bly, exemplifed in Judge Gary's court in
Chicago, where the red handed anarchists are
on trial, when a bevy of soft-hearted and
equally soft headed women marched into the
court and presented each one of the brutal
murderers, who are there being tried for their
lives with an elegant bouquet of flowers.
Such sickly sentimentality shown in be-
half of such villains is disgusting and ought
not to be tolerated by any court. The fool
woman should be frowned down and, if
necessary, forcibly suppressed.

HERE is the way the democratic party
talks in the state of New York:
The democratic party is opposed to all
sumptuary laws which interfere with the
natural rights of the people. But it believes
in the people and is always willing to allow
them to express their opinions on any sub
iect.-N. y. World
Here is the way it acts: At Albany on
the 9th day of May last, when the question
of submitting a prohlbitory amendment to
the people was before it, every democratic
member of the New York assembly voted
against it.

SLOWLY but >surely the prosecution is de-
veloping the evidence against the Chicago
anarchists. 1t does not seem possible that,
if the jury are honorable and intelligent men,
they can escape their merited fate. Such
wholesale murderers richly deserve the hang
mans rope, and appearances indicate that
there is probability that they may receive
their Just deserts.

The convention at Lawrence on Thursday
last, developed remarkable unanimity of
feeling in regard to the return Of the Hon. j.
G. BURRows to Congress. Mr. Burrows has
been of great service TO his constituents during

nomination, we believe that Van Buren, county
will give him a larger majority than ever

money to secure the election of Mr.. PAYNE
to seat in the senate. Whether or not
such fraud could be brought home to the
senator himself is another question. The
practices of the democratic party in the
state of Ohio are so generally tinctured with
fraud and corruption that there is little
dangerof stumbling on any very overwhelm-
ing degree of honesty in any particular in
stance. AT the conclusion of the debate the
senate adopted the majority resolution and
refused to push the proposed investigation.

MONTANA'S CLAIMS,

Watch Look Ffattering, to be Pushed
Theoretically in Order to Encompass Her
Admission to Statehood.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-The Hera1d's New
York correspondent telegraphs as fol-
lows: Governor Hauser and Colonel w.
F. Saunders, of Montana, are here on
their way to Washington, whittier they 60
tomorrow to urge the admission of that
Territory as a State. The Governor is a
Democrat and the Colonel prominent
Republican,, and they declare that they
represent the united voice of the people of
Montana for Statehood. Governor Hauser
said to-day: "Montana is quite
large enough for admission, having not
less than l25, 900 people. The output of
gold, silver and copper ore for this
year will be not less than thirty
millions of dollars, of which ten mil
lions will go to Europe direct. There
are more cattle in Montana than there are
people, and they live out all winter,
browsing and cropping thn grass,
down through the light SHOWS. The win
tiers of Montana are nothing like so Sc
we're as those of lower ATTITUDES. Look
at the news this morning: Trains
stopped by snow in the Colorado can
yons, and nine people with their teams
frozen to death on the plains of Arkansas.
We are growing with great rapidity, and
Montana's yield of the precious metals
this year is larger than that of any other
State or Territory. Mr.. Clarke, the third
member of our committee, is not with US.

MRS. GRANTS BIRTHDAY

Spent With Her Sons and Their Families
The Boys Working on the Second Edition
of the Memoirs The Profits on the Work,
Present and Prospective.
NEW YORK, Jan. Ex-senator Chaffee
remarked to a correspondent yesterday
that it was Mrs. Grants sixtieth birth
day. She had quiet family reunion at
the house in Sixty-sixth street, at which
her three sons and their wives
and children were all present.
Senator Chaffee said the Grant boys are
devoting all their time to the compile
ton and publication of the Generals
memoirs The haste with which he pre-
pared the last volume left great many
dates and papers to be verified or copied
from the official documents. This is
being carefully done by his sons. The
General read all the proofs of his first
volume with care. His sons are endeavor-
ing to give equal care to his last volume.
Senator Chaffee said that the amount
of returns from the memoirs which
will be paid to Mrs. Grant, will be over
$500, 900, and possibly $4,000. A check
for $3.50, 900 has already been sent to Mrs.
Grant by the publishers, indicating the
returns of the first volume SO far as it
has been delivered. A handsomely bound
plush-covered album, containing a por-
trait of General Grant and the resolutions
adopted by the board of aldermen on the
death of the General, neatly engroSsed,
will be presented to Mrs. Grant by the
board
