They Have a Mortgage on the Office

The Republican part Of the Michi-
gan State Legislature, in caucus last
week, unanimously voted to elect Jas.
Mcmillan, of Detroit, to the office OF
senator, in place of Thos. w. Palm
er, whose term expires March 4th, of
this year. The caucus and the cleo
ton is but mere form, as 1t was
decided before the general election on
November 9th, 1888, that the Office
belonged to Mr.. Mcmillan. twas to
be turned over to him because he had
political mortgage on it. Mr.. Nc
MILAN is a we'll known Detroit mil
lionaire and a popular business man
who is extensively interested in Mich
igan industries. His right to the very
important office Of senator is not alto
gether based on his business qualifca-
tions as much as on the fact that he
was chairman Of the Republican State
political committee and invested a
large sum of money in helping to
elect majority of the Legislature Of
his party. The two prese t members
of the Senate from this State, Palmer
and Stockbridge, are millionaires, and
Palmer will be succeeded by another
millionaire. 1t seems that no one but
a millionaire can be elected as senat-
or. The office belongs to them, and
they decide among themselves which
one shall have it.
Mr.. Mcmillan is known as an hon
orable and energetic business man of
the State, and as regards milionaircs,
is one of the best, but his position is
such, that it is not natural for him, or
any other man of his class, to sympa-
thise with the great army of laborers.
His wealth and position have placed
almost impossible barriers between
him and the great mass of the people.
His influence will naturally be cast
in favor of his own class. He can not
be expected to enter heartily into
plans for the benefit Of the people, be-
cause he can not know the wants and
necessities of the working class We
are inclined to the belief that Mr..
Mcmillan will act as he believes right,
but, being separated from the masses
by his millions, he can not be in sym.
pathy with the people. A legislator
is but human, and his knowledge OF
humanity is mainly derived from per.
sonal knowledge. No man can really
sympathize with the sick and unfortu-
nate unless he has Affections of his
own, and neither can man separat-
ed from the masses, know their wants,
sympathize with them, or work for
their interests.
The same state of affairs, as regards
senat ,rs exists in other States as well as
in Michigan, and that body of legisla-
tors have become separated from the
people, and does not have their conf
dence. The system Of electing U. S
senator's should be changed, and every
applicant for the Office of senator
should be obliged to appeal direct to
the people and be voted for the same
as other officials.
If the people are to be ruled by
and have their laws made by million
aires, il is to be hoped they will be as
honorable as Palmer and Mcmillan.

The price of general farm products has
been SO low for some years that farmers
are placed under the necessity of devils
ing every means to increase their income.
Those who have grown peas on contract
with the Albert Landreth Seed Co. have
a most decided advantage over those who
trust to the general market, as good
prices are fixed and the farmer has GER
tainity to rely upon. The difference to
the farmer in the two modes is quite ap-
parent this season. Every farmer should
take advantage of the system which
promises him the greatest return, other
wise he is expending the same amount OF
labor, mourning more cost and realizing
less.
The Albert Landreth Seed Co. intends
TO extend its business the coming year
and will be prepared to let more con-
tracts for growing peas. This is an op-
portunity which farmers should no,
ALLOW to go unimproved. What pays
them best is the plan which should be
adopted and the difference in prices paid
in the general market and by the seed
house is sufficient for the farmer TO show
whore his interest lies. The farm can be
made profitable if farmers will use theil
judgment and improve every opportun
ity which offers.

The Milwaukee Sentinel speaks OF a
person who lives In this county who was
| forced to send his children away to
school because the teachers employed
taught and spoke English imperfectly.
No one can dispute the existence of these
conditions in a few cases. There is not
a public school in this county which
does not teach the common school
branches In English with the limitations
consequent upon the teachers proficiency
In the language. In the few schools In
which English is taught poorly the critic
ism would be made only by those who
appreciate what good English is. In
many cases in which complaint is made
it is the practice of the community
against the school. and the English learn
ed while the school is in session is for
gotten through disuse before the next
term opens. The schools which teach
English poorly are the schools which at
tempt to teach more than one language.
Indeed, from the testimony of those CON-
petent to judge, neither language is
taught well in majority of these schools.
But the Nc Elroys and Eliiots have, at
the bidding of the Milwaukee Turn Verein
perpetuated this system in our country
schools and no remedy can be applied
until the state legislature ceases to be
the property of demagogues.
There are schools in this county taught
by people whose mother tongue is Eng
lush, which. teach faulty English. 1t
would be revelation to these teachers
who use poor English if their examina-
ton papers were published just as writ
ten. 1t is their practice not their know
ledge which is at fault.
In these schools In which the prevail
ing language of the pupils is not English,
the tendency to use the tongue which
offers the least resistance is strong. In
many of the public schools of this state,
for this reason, Rotations are conducted
IN the prevailing language though Eng
hsh text books are used. The writer has in
ullQu d puDllC SCHOOL Visited SOulo years
ago, taught by man with 80 years ex-
perience in the public schools of the
country" The Rotations were almost
wholly in German. "Do you not teach
English?" the man with experience
was asked. "They would not understand
it, and what's the use?" was the reply.
"When will they understand it if you
continue to teach as you are teaching?"
No satisfactory answer was given.
The gentleman to whom The Sentinel
referred no doubt acted wisely IN pro-
viding instruction of the best kind for
his children. But the effort should be
to improve the local schools so that every
child may receive rudimentary educa-
ton at home. One active patron can do
much toward increasing the efficiency of
his local school. Let some effort be ex-
pended at home before the children are
sent elsewhere to be educated. A poor
school will soon improve under the
stimulus of active interest on the part of
patrons.

"a POINTER"

A business man of this city who has
business relations with persons in the
east, lately received the information that
events were about to transpire which
would give Manitowoc a boom. The
advent in this city of several of the Off
GERS of the Lake Shore & Western is
either step toward initiating that boom
or a scheme to prevent it by getting a
franchise SO as to cut off other companies.
The city council will act Wisely if it in
stituties inquiries before disposing any
rights. The railroad company has pur-
pose and that purpose is in the line OF
it's own interests Let us see that the
interests of the city are also included.

number of the officials of the LAX

A number of the officials of the Lake
Shore & Western were in the city on
Tuesday and had consultation with
some of the leading business men. The
company wants franchise from Tenth
Street to the lake shore the validity OF
the franchise to be contingent upon the
establishment of line from this city to
Ludington. A meeting of the Business
Mems Association was held to discuss the
matter. The general feeling was in favor
of granting the franchise and recornmen-
datory resolution to that effect was adopt
ed. A feeling of slight distrust- amply
justified by the past action of the rail-
road compaDy-was quite apparent. But
the ordinance viii be so hedged with
provisions that the railroad company viii
find it difficult to act with Panic faith and
profit thereby.
