A Primitive Resort

In Second avenue, pretty we'll down
town, is lager beer saloon conducted
on principles unique and original 1t IS
patronized largely by Germans who love
to sit and gossip about their fatherland
during the evening hours while slipping
their favorite beverage. In front of the
saloon IS a small garden endowed by an
awning. Every pleasant summer egen-
ing the tables are covered with beer
glasses, and the Jolly conversation may
be heard by passing pedestrians.
The interior Of the saloon is quantity
interesting. On one side OF the wall,
from the floor to the ceiling. are pigeon
holes similar to those in n barber shop.
Each space contains glass or mug with
the name OF its owner painted thereon
Some OF the moneyed Germans OF tho
neIghbOrhOod have silver plates on which
their names arc engraved When a Gus
toner comes ia the waiter gets down his
mug md fills it with foaming beer. Very
little transient trade is done az this place.
Another popularity about the saloon is
that 10 has no bar and no cigars to sell.

wrItIng Up the Farmer,, club.

The late Stanley Huntley, once a re-
porter on the Tribune, was sent to re-
port q meeting Of the Farmers Club.
whose members got into quarrel over
new kind of potato, and the reporter
ut was his first journalistic effortJ gave
very funny account of il, which, not
finding the city editor in when he went
down to the Office, he sent upstairs In
the regular way. The next day the
article appeared on the first page Of the
Tribune, and young Huntley thought
he had Struck IL rich" in his new sit
uation, and promptly looked forward to
being made managing editor of the
journal.
When he arrived at the Office and en-
tered the city room he noticed a smile
spread over the other reporters faces,
but, attributing IL TO jealousy, he
calmly seated himself at his desk. In
few minutes Mr.. Moore, the city ed
itor, called him and said that Mr.. Gree
lev wanted TO see him. Swelling with
pride, and casting look of triumph
around the room, the young reporter
walked out of the Office into Mr.. Gree
ley's Office. The door was closed. He
raped gently.
Come in, responded shrill falsetto
voice.
Mr.. Huntley did so. Mr.. Greeley
was seated at his desk writing. He
waited patiently until he finished.

around in his chair and said:

GEN. PALMER, the great defeated
candidate for governor of Illinois, has
withdrawn from the G.. A. r., alleging
that that institution is great republi-
can political machine. The only rea-
son the general has for making any
such statement is that the ex-soldiers
of the state of Illinois preferred to cast
their votes for gallant Private JOE FL
FER rather than for the great major gen
eral If the grand army, which contains
nine-tenths of the old soldiers i'm the
country, is republican institution,
what becomes of the much vaunted
many democrats in the army as there
were republicans? Possibly they are
dead-the "unco' guild" die young!
What ails the general is simply this; he
left the republican party but the old
veterans declined to follow his lead !;
hinc W9 ldcrimR! And now, il is said
"a movement is on foot in the states of
Illinois and Indiana, and elsewhere,
looking to the withdi avail of all soldiers
the democratic persuasion from the g.
A. X. and the organization of little
side show of their own, and the funny
thing about it is that this little Spartan
band of democratic veterans who pro-
pose To make adherence TO the demo
crat party the very corner stone of the
new organization, advertise that it is to
be strictly non-political and non parti-
san! 1t is certainly true that the great
majority of ex-soldiers are republicans,
and they took an especial degree of
pride in vetoing the man who had so
often vetoed them, and they were very
active in the campaign, as they had a
perfect right to be 1t is also true,
without doubt, that they very generally
neglected to give their suffrages to the
the disgruntled Illinois major general;
but they took such action on their own
individual responsibility and not as an
organization, nor as grand army men,

eral thing, vote the republican ticket,
it cannot be helped, and if they choose
to withdraw and form little close
democrat corporation of their own,
their republican brethren, while depre-
eating their folly and regretting to part
company with them, will not lay Il
straw in their way but will bid them
depart in peace bearing a blessing with
them. And the grand old grand army

The saloon i'm Politics.

The NoRTHERNER has heretofore re
marked that the republican party has
always won its greatest victories when
ii met public issues squarely; when il
fought its battles for principle, not fol
policy. The recent overwhelming sue.
cess of the party in tins state is another
demonstration of the truth of such state.
ment
AT its state convention in the city OF
Detroit the party took ground squarely
against the "saloon in politics and in
favor of the enactment of local option
law that would "hold water" A few of
the more timid ones were opposed to
such action because they thought it was
not policy" and because they feared the
party would lose votes thereby, but
better counsels prevailed and the re-
suit proves that principle is preferable
to policy.
The party owes nothing to the saloon;
it has already alienated the liquor int
crest which has gone where it legitim-
ately belongs, to the democrat party,
the party that has so frequently de.
clared, in its platforms as well as by
the utterances of its candidates, its bit
ter and unalterable opposition to all
sumptudry legislation; and the NORTH
ERNER is not sorry; on the contrary, it
rejoices that it is so.
The late election has demonstrated
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-12-05

that, while the saloon, as "A political
factor. has attached itself to the demo-
crat party, the republicans have
gained far more from the ranks of So
Der, thoughtful, temperance voters
than they have lost by their opposition
to the saloon. Republicanism owes
nothing to the so-called personal liber-
ty league, and is not indebted To the
saloon in politics in the slightest de-
gree.
The duty of the incoming legislature
is SO plain that no mistake need be
made. Republicans have a large ma
the fact that the Detroit Free Press, The
state organ of the democrat party, in
its ante-election predictions, declared
majority of the legislative districts To
be democratic-and nothing short of
well digested, practical, stringent local
option law will satisfy the people and
nothing less than such IA statute can full
fill the pledges the party has made.
The n ORTHERNER sincerely hopes ana
confidently expects that the legislature
elect will enact such IA statute, one that
will bear the scrutiny of "A hair-split
ting supreme court, thus giving to the
people the opportunity so generally de-
sired to crush out the iniquitous traffic.
In addition To such Il statute, the pres
ent law regulating the sale of intoxicat-
ing beverages should be strengthened
and its provisions be made more strin-
gent and effective.
Let republican legislators prove to
the people that the pledges of the re-
publican party made at its state con-
vention, like past promises of the party
were made, not for bnncombe, but for
business; not to be forgotten, but to be
fulfilled.
