Paw Paw democrats are evidently
ashamed of their name. When they
first began to talk about the matter,
they were going to have a democratic"
pole raising, but now they advertise a
''union" blowout We don't know what
they are in union with, unless il be with
BARLEY Breen, the regular democratic
nominee on their state ticket, who ran
little pretended union-labor side show
ut Detroit, after being ANONYMOUSLY
kicked out of the regular union-labor
convention.
"HOw can you go that free whiskey
clause in your platform?" remarked an
ardent third party prohibitionist, the
other day, TO one of our leading repub-
licans. As free whiskey is demanded
Immediately and Internationally in the
prohibition platform, such a question
would seem to have been slightly in
consistent, not to say impertinent. 1t
seems to us as though there was
pointed allusion in a certain good book
to man who would pluck mote out
of his brothers eye, while all the time
there was a monstrous great beam in
his own eye.
A collision occurred on the narrow
gauge last Friday, near Covert, be-
tween the afternoon train coming from
South Haven and tram car loaded
with wood on Packard's log road. The
! horse attached to the car became fright
ened, ran directly in front of the train,
where his load stuck fast. The engi-
neer, johnson, applied the air brake,
reversed his engine and, together with
his fireman, took flying leap to the
ground For minute, the air was full
of horse, flying wood and demolished
tram car. The train ran about its
length before it stopped No great
amount of damage was done, however,
more than to knock off the headlight,
cowcatcher, etc, and to shake up the
! passengers at lively rate.
