Not Fit to he Trusted Alone.

Theron p. Keator, printer, who made
four years tour around the world, work.
ing at his trade in every country, was in
Detroit recently and in the course OF a
conversation said: 'T arrived In st. L.
mace on the same train with Wellington
r. Burt, the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor. The place of speaking was Orth's
hall, the only good hall in the place. The
only other place for holding meeting
was dingy old hall on the opposite side
OF the bay. When Mr.. Burt arrived the
Democrats bestirred themselves to hold
an opposition gathering, but the Republi-
cans had secured q band and had the only
good place. So the Republican commit

Commenting on this the Detroit Even
Journal, an independent paper, says: "If

Mr.. McBain adds:

"For pure unadulterated gall and poll
tical hypocrisy commend us To the candi-

Party. He takes the bakery"
AS quoted above, Mr.. Burt said,
In his letter to the News, III not

its present form Is not to be good Demo

endorsing this bill is like enthu siastic
parents undertaking to give name to
the unborn child, before II Is posi- Bile for
them To know its sex, and where there Is

Two days later he accepted the National
platform, the Presidents message and the
state platform and everything else that
was put on his plate by the state
convention. But the National plat
form endorsed the course OF the
President In using the whole influence
OF the administration To secure the pass
age OF the Mills bill. The state conven-
tion did the same and also approved the
action of the Democratic representatives In
congress In their efforts to secure the
passage of the same bill.

own words.

Why Irish Born People Dislike lt-'Tis

O'Donovan Rosa, one Of the greatest Of
all Irish Americans, expresses his views TO
reporter of the Troy Telegram in the
following language:
"The words free trade are odious to
the class Of Irish born people to whom l
belong; and may say that belong to the
whole Irish born people. And what makes
II so odious is because they hate England,
and they know well it is not for Ameri-
can interests, but for England's inter
ests, that England wants her free trade

England's prisons to America Is years
ago, l could hardly see an American

"In my early youth my father had some

where big stalk Of priseach-bhuidhe

Not Necessarily an Evidence of Unpros-
porous Conditions.


Candidate Burt has great deal to say
IN his speeches about the number Of farms
mortgaged in Michigan and the number
Of mortgage foreclosures made during the
past year, and charges them to the ruin
Gus effects Of the protective tariff. II he
would 70 back TO the low tariff times Of
1888 and 1858 he would find condition Of
things among the farmers, compared with
which the present condition is paradise
But the mortgaging OF farm does not
necessarily show that the owner 10 not
prosperous. The men who mortgage their
Farms generally belong to one OF three
class. ~. Young men who have
not capital enough to buy
o farm out and out, but
who are enterprising and ambitious
enough to start out for themselves. They
buy and give . mortgage for part OF the
purchase money. In the vast majority Of
the interest and ultimately clear the mort
gage out Of the profits of the farm. But
their chance Of doing this would be greatly
diminished II free trade was adopted,
thereby reducing the prices at which they
could sell their crops.
(2.) The farmers who arc already well
established, but who run In debt to buy
more land or TO make improvements.
These mortgages do not indicate that the
owners Of the farms are unfortunate, but
rather that they have been 90 prosper

to take larger chances in the future.
II their investments are prudently made

49, The shiftless and the dissipated.
II Is upon these classes that much the
largest number of foreclosures falls. But
this class go TO the wall in any business.
Unanticipated misfortunes such IS sick
ness or series OF bad crops add to the
mortgage foreclosures even among the
worthy and thrifty classes, but IL y safe
to say that failures among the farmers are
fewer than in almost any other kind of
business, and much fewer than they would
be IL the blight of free trade were cast
over the industries Of the land.

Democratic and personal Liberty"
Schemes for It's Capture.
The Association for the Protection Of
Personal Liberty" has issued . circular In
German to those interested In the liquor
traffic, In which 1t reminds them Of the
narrow escape they had in April, 1887
from the destruction of their traffic by the
adoption Of the prohibitory amendment to
the constitution. 1t says that the danger
was then barely escaped and now comes
In q moro threatening form. The ques-
tion win be renewed In the next legisla-
ture. II that body refuses any kind OF
friendly voice TO the traffic it can by legis-
lation forbid the manufacture and sale OF
liquors and enforce the act Of legislation
through the police, or it can resubmit the
constitutional amendment.
The circular advises those interested In
the traffic TO stand together, especially on
legislative candidates. 1t instructs them
that they must not trust candidates OF
whom they have only heard, but must
vote only for those known to be favorable.
II says that the men taken into the union
did we'll In the last election, and adds:
"a written answer always offers q surer
guarantee for the future than verbal
declaration. We would commend this
mode TO the associations In this state.
Our especial mark must be the senate, as
the smallest legislative body. Ii true
friends Of our cause be chosen to the SEN
ate all the efforts of our opponents will be
fruitless. The first condition TO the
attainment Of our aim Is the nomination of
men Of means, literally translated, prop
ertied candidates'', but the nomination Of
proper candidates Is only possible when
the caucuses are sharply watched by our
side, and through that the destructive line
Of work Of party politicians and wire pull
ers will be the more quickly foiled.
The question which Of the great parties is
TO be most trusted is answered through
the platforms Of the two great parties"
The Detroit Free Press is evidently in
line with this attempt Of the liquor deal
ers and their friends to capture the state
senate and prevent further temperance
legislation. In its issue Of October 10 II
gives the Democratic View Of chances In
nearly every senatorial district in the state
The first and second 1t considered sure

ninth, eleventh and twenty-fourth afford
the finest kind Of battle ground, and sayl
that In addition to these there are nearly {
dozen others In which the Democrats hav,
every reason to be hopeful. As part o.
the dozen 1t mentions the eighth, twelfth
seventeenth, twenty-ffth, twenty-seventh

1. He selects the EVEN year Of the rs
COLE administration, when no expenses II
the Legislature and few appropriations
were paid, and compares that year with
the ODD years under the Alger and Luce
administration, when the people were pay
ing the expenses Of the Legislature and
largely the appropriations made by them.
Why did he not take Begole's ODD year,
1888, when taxes were much higher than
in 1885 under Alger, and higher than they
will be In 1883 under Gov. Luce?
2. Why not honest enough to say that
In 1884 our disabled soldiers were In
county. poor houses, supported by county
taxes, and are now In a Soldiers home
supported by the state; that the insane
are now supported almost wholly by the
state taxes instead Of county taxes; that
while the state taxes have thus increased,
the county taxes have been lessened by 50
