The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-02-08

The special election that has been called
in the 18th congressional district of this state
for the purpose of filling the vacancy in our
congressional delegation, caused by the death
of Mr.. MoFFATT, is of more than local ina
portance. The delegation, exclusive of the
18th district, is equally divided, six republi-
cans and six democrats; the result of the
pending election will decide whether the
majority of the delegation is to be democrat
ic or republican. The republicans of the
district have handsome majority and if
they get out their entire vote, Mr.. SEYMOUR
will surely be elected. But the opposition
are hopeful and will spare no effort nor ex
pense to secure victory for Mr.. BREEN
Should the next presidential election be
thrown into the house, contingency that
is possible but not probable - Michigan's
vote, which must be determined by a major
ity of its delegation, might decide the result.
The election therefore becomes, in this view,
Of national importance. 1t is to be hoped
that neither apathy nor discussions will be
permitted to rob the republicans of victory
that belongs to them and which can easily be
secured.

SEVENTEEN counties have voted dry under
the provisions of the county option law,
the latest additions being Ingham, Otsego
and Calhoun. Even the capital city
of the state gave a handsome anti-saloon
majority. Nineteen other counties will vote
during the present month, and it is altogeth-
er likely that nearly if not quite all of them
will follow the example which Van Buren,
was the first to set. Before the first of May,
nearly half the state will have voted to ban
ish the open saloon. The law is proving to
be very popular statute and is likely to
prove fully as effective temperance measure
as any plan that could have been devised.
If it shall safely run the gauntlet of the
courts, Michigan will become, with the ex
ception of few localities like Wayne county
and the Upper Peninsula, where rum rules,
prohibition state. Let the good work go on,
and perhaps even those rum ridden COM

Mr.. Hissey, an Englishman who has

in use all the year round on the narrow
country roads Of Derbyshire. A driver Of
one Of those teams told him that once,

the bells. The consequence was that the
horses were so indignant they refused to
start. As soon as The bells were fixed on
the horses started and went contentedly

Home Rule for Dakota.

New York Press.
President Guptill, Of the Republican
league Of Dakota, has issued a circular
which. though addressed to the men,
bers Of the league, is interesting to all
Republicans. He appeals to the former
to contribute money and send able
speakers into all the doubtful congress
sional districts to tell the shameful story
of the denial Of home rule to Dakota
by the Democratic house Of representa-.
tives.
Dakota had three district judges in
1861, when it had 1875 white inhabi-
tants. Today it has a white population
of nearly 700 .OOD, but only six judges, o,
twice as many as in 1861. As a result,
the administration of justice is painfully
slow; respect for the law is impaired
thereby, and arrested persons are kept
in confinement for an o~utrageously long
time without a hearing-the circular
says "for many weary months to.
gether."
The particulars Of this oppression,
told from the stump, would be a most
effective campaign. argument. Let
campaign managers everywhere give
the Dakota orators a chance to tell how
the party Of English free trade denies
home rule TO Dakota, just as the Tories
to whom they toady deny it to Ireland.
