Can't Support Sherwood.

Everything points to great victory foi
Judge Gran. for the supreme court. Even
democratic papers concede. this fact. Below
we copy from two leading journals:
Marquette Journal: The uoper peninsula
is. fairly entitled to at least one of the five
judges of the supreme court, and the repub-
Ican party of Michigan recognized just
demand coming from this part of the state,
when it placed Judge Grant in nomination
for supreme justice. He was nominated
first because he is.abundantly equipped for
the office, and secondly because he repre-
sented q proper claim made by an i'm
portant section of the state. The democrat
ic papers in lower Michigan that are trying
to get republican voters to cut Judge Grant
because he is from the upper peninsula are
playing q risky game. A very little of that
sort of thing will go great way toward
making the upper peninsula practically
solid for Judge Grant, while we venture to
predict that il won't take more than three
figures to count all the votes that it will di-
vert from him in the lower peninsula.
Petoskey Democrat: The unfortunate de-
cision of our supreme court OH the libel law
and the way in which that decision was
ridded by the supreme court of Minnesota
in deciding the same point, will inevitably
create doubt as to the ability of the judges
of the present court and will he brought up
against every member who seeks renOmina-
ton. Now that the frinds of Judge Sher-
wood seem determined to lead him to the
the republican papers are begin
ming to pitch into Mr.. Sherwood, and the
worst of ID is that it is hard to deny what
they say.

The story Is afloat that the salary of Il 0
Governor is largely augmented by fees.
This is decided mistake. There Is not a
single penny of perqulsltes in any manner
or form that go,s to the Governor. His
salary is just 81, 900. Is it just TO ask q
man of the ability required to fill that Office
properly to serve the state for that comp' H.
Sation We do not believe it is, and we do
not believe any man who gives the subject
a single moments careful consideration will
say that it is. Then vote for the amend
nlent and do your part to make the salary
OF the Governor such an one that q man not
millionaire can afford to serve the people
in that position -ani live on the salary the
state will pay. And that is all any Governor
will be able to do if the proposed amend
ment Is adopted

An Illinois farmer says, Il believe in the
tariff because it give me chance to sell my
produce TO men who earn their living by
manufacturing the things have to buy.
They arc protected from foreign competi-
ton az long as they arc learning their BUSH
ness, and as soon as they get the hang of it
1 notice the prices go down, and | get my
plows and shovels as cheaply as l could
ablpad. In the meantime l do not have to
ID urge freights to get my wheat across
tho ocean" That is the most perfect
answer to the charge that a protective tariff
is injurious to the farmer, that we remem-
Der to have read. 1t is, indeed, actually
conclusive and unanswerable.

Mr.. Joseph Jefferson has been engaged
for number of years upon his autobio-
grapby, which will soon begin TO appear in
The Century. No more interesting record
of life upon the stage could be laid before
the American public, and Mr.. Jelferson's
personality is perhaps more sympathetic to
the people of this country than that of any
actor we have had. He is the fourth in o
generation Of actors, and, with his childr n
and grandchildren upon the stage, thee
are six generations of actors among tie
Jeffersons. The record which he has maze
of the early days of the American stage Is
said to be peculiarly interesting especially
the story of his travels as boy In his
fathers company. when they would settle
down for season in Western town and,
extemporize their own theatcr. The auto
biography will begin In Tho Century during
the coming autumn, and the instalments
will be illustrated with portrait gallery of

The Great Kenosha Ghost Story.

whenever newspaper reporter gets a
chance to write up ghost story he imme-
dlately hops on it like June bug when he
discovers an early cucumber sprout He
considers the story ''scoop" and he gloats
over the minute details with the skill of
Baron Munchaueen and the glee of an Al
rican digger" who has just discovered
brilliant of the first water" His airy i'm
agination creates the ghost, and when the
disembodied spirit of his own creating
evaporates into thin air you will probably
find him In the press room betting five to
one with the printers devil that he can
whale the stutfing out of the best graveyard
ghost that ever walked about by the pale
light of the moon. The above reflections
are called out by the fact that number of
absurd stories have been circulated through
Kenosha and have been published by sew
eral sensational papers. The Racine Jour
nGl the Chicago Neocs, the Chicago Mau
and Milwaukee paper were taken in and
gulled by some reporter with more enter
prise than brains. Whoever wrote the ar
ticles evidently did it late at night with a
bottle OF 'Old Grow" beside him. In other
words, he conjured up the "ghost" by pour
ing spirits into his capacious gullet until
hob-goblins and misshapen monsters gyrat-
ed through his excited brain like heat
lightning through summer fog.
reporter sent from this office called up
on Capt. Spruce, one of the level.headed
business men of the Scotford Works, who
informed Che reporter that Mr.. Jerry Nc
Carron, their night Waterman, had heard
sounds in the building that he could not
account for, but that no notice whatever
had been taken of them.
1t is foolish to suppose that Mr.. Scotford
would wander about the ''works" at night
looking for ghost with a cooked pistol in
his hand and amuse himself by shooting
holes through the floor That the Com
pany never employed watchmen to hunt
for ghosts who tamper with their patented
machinery. The only truth there is in the
story is that Tuesday night, Oct. LIST,
Waterman McCarron, Engineer Costello
and two other men remained i'll the works,
but failed to find any cause for the sounds
which had awakened the superstitious fears
of one man. Wednesday Mr.. Scotford
heard of the fact that those men had been
in the factory during the night and ordered
the Waterman not to admit any one into
the works at all at night except possibly
the engineer. That ended the watching
business and nothing more has been
thought Of 1t except by the ignorant and
about town.
