IT seems to THE REPUBLICAN that

1T seems to IHE REPUBLICAN that
the present council cannot he I'M
proved Oh by any change; really a
change at this time would seem to
hardly be polite in view Of the fact
that there is so much for the council
to do in settling up the business
relative to the artesian we'll, getting
the water mains laid, and providing
some apparatus for fire protection,
and that new members are on a
board some time before they become
sufficiently convers;nt with its
affairs TO be Of much service in its
work and deliberations, and although
all Of the retiring members of
the council radically differ with
us in politics The REPUBLICAN,
hopes that they will consent to be-
come candidates again and that the
voters in the different wards of the
city will see not only that Messrs.
Lynch, Vinkle and Boardman are
candidates, but that they get at the
polls the approval Of the people in
the shape of unanimous vote.

OAKEs has been extremely fortu-
nate in the past i'll securing men
possessed Of sound judgment, bust
ness ability, and the right kind Of
public spirit to administer her
municipal affairs. The city's finan-
cial condition, the conservative,
business-like way in which her in
terests and welfare have been guard
ed and encouraged during the past
two ye.rs, the. attention paid by the
differant officials to the duties that
necessarily devolve upon those who
occupy positions Of public trust, in
d;cate that we have been blessed in
that respect. The duties Of an
alderman, or Of member of the
board of education, are responsible
ones. There is a great deal of work
to do and time to be devoted to at
tending to the city's various inter
ests that ordinarily has to be looked
after at just the time when the pri-
vate affairs Of the individual need
his attention. For this reason, per-
haps more than any other, it is diff
cult to get men Of the requisite
ability to accept office under a city
government where there is so much
work to do and so little honor ac-
quired, In selecting the candidates
for the Offices to be filled on two
weeks from next Monday care should
be exercised to secure men who are
capable and who if elected will look
after and take care of the city's in
.terests as they would after their own.

MONTANA, OREGON AND WASHING

The Northern Pacific Railroad passing through
minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington was the first line to bring the region
occupied by these states into communication with
the east, Its main line and branches penetrate all
sections OF these states reaching nine-tenths of
the chief cities. 1t Is the short route to Helena
and Butte, Mont, Spokane Falls Tacoma and Sc
atle, Wash, Portland, Ore. and the only line run
ming through train service from the east through
the states OF Montana and Washington. Pullman
Sleepers and furnished Tourist Sleeping Cars are
run via. the Wisconsin Central and Northern Pa
chic, and Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars via.
Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul and Northern Pa
cihc, from Chicago through to the Pacific coast
without change. This Is the Dining Car and yell
lowstone Park route.
The large travel on the Northern Pacific line
neceSsitated the Inauguration In June 1890, of a
second through train to the Pacific coast, thus en-
aiding this road to offer to the public the advant
points in the Pacific Northwest carrying COM
plete service of sleeping cars, dining cars and
regular day coaches. The train leaving st. Paul
IN the morning runs via. the recently completed
Air Line of the Northern Pacific through Butte.
Mont, making this shortest line to the latter
point by 100 miles.
Col0nlsts for Washington. Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific, as by this line only, can all
portions OF Washington be seen. Stop-overs are
allowed at Spokane Falls and all points west, en-
abling settlers to inspect the country without ex-
ira expense.

The annual meeting of the Brockway

The annual meeting of the Brockway
Centre District Agricultural Society
will be held on next Monday afternoon
November oath in this village. A
large attendance should be present, If
for no other reason. to show their graf
itude to the management of past year
for their faithful discharge of duty
which gave us such an excellent fair.
In conversing with Secretary. Wark,
we were informed that from financial
point of view especially the Association
had been complete success this year.
After paying ali premiums, awards and
current expenses. there would be a sur
plus in the Treasury of over 500.
This speaks well for not only the man
agement but the hearty support given
by every one in the district and during
the progress of the exposition. We
hope that this call for the meeting will
be responded to heartily, and that by
this means a fair even better than the
one this year will be assured for next
year.

THE COUNTY s. s. ASSOCIATION.
THE SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING IN THIS
PLACE VERY SUCCESSFUL.

The meeting opened at 1920 Thurs
day morning with devotional exercises.
In the afternoon the real programme
began. Rev. j. V. n. Hardness, the
president of the Association, first de-
livered very apt address on the
Teachers Meeting, which was most
thoroughly appreciated. This was fol-
lowed by paper read by j. 5. Duflie of
Port Huron, on "The Teacher before
his Class. The suggestions were very
pointed, and showed Mr.. Duties appre-
citation of the Sunday School. Mrs.
Somers then read a paper on Temper
ance in the Sabbath School,; and then
a paper by Dr. Woodruff. of Marlette,
on "TruthfulneSS,'. Both of these pa
pers were very felicitous in the helpful
hints in which they were rich. This
closed the addresses of the afternoons;
and then the question-boX was opened.
Mr. Fish, of Port Huron, vice president
of the county association, explained
many plausible methods in his answers.
Owing to its large contents it was nee
essary to adjourn before it was finished.
Before the regular evening meeting, at
$50 o'clock, there were devotional exer-
cises. Immediately at the opening of
the evening session Mr.. Fish took up
the question box again. A township
organization was then established. j.
ii. Moore was elected president, A. Go
heen vice-president, and Mrs. Ira Bill
man secretary and treasurer. Then
followed the address of the evening by
Rev. Ira Billman on Slowing Precious
Seed. Altogether the meeting was a
grand success: and all who attended
felt they had received a spiritual treat.

AT OUR OWN HANDS.

All returns are in; but to show the
completeness of our defeat. The whole
state Democratic ticket was elected by
pluralitles varying from 1900 down to
few hundred. However, though it is
most decidedly Republican defeat, it
was not Democratic victory. The re-
suit was entirely due to the lack of in
terest shown by Republicans. There
was not Democratic nominee who re-
ceived more votes than he did two
years ago. The result can not be at
tributed to any considerable accession
of Republicans to the Democratic
ranks. Winans, at the head of the
ticket. received $4,000 less votes than
Burt did two years ago, when he was
beaten by 1900 votes. Two years ago
475,0O0 votes were polled; this year'375,-
600. In round numbers 100000 Michi-
gan voters stayed at home, the greatest
part of whom were Republicans; as is
shown by comparison of the votes
cast. The reasons for this are numer-
Gus. 1t was partly owing to an over
confidence in the party which degener-
ates into an apathy. This must be dis
PEELED before another election. Repub-
licanism is as strong today as it ever was
but it should rouse itself for the rescue
of its cardinal principles. Therefore
let every Republican be-stir himself.
Have the committees, village. town,
county, all remodeled, the drones cast
out and live men put in. a victory
will then be ours for the taking. This
temporary defeat will thus work for us;
and in two years we will place another
Republican at the head of the nation.

THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Gentlemen, who do not believe in tn,
principle of protection seem to feel ;
great deal of satisfaction In the belief
that the Republican party is di
vided on the reciprocity idea. AL
though compelled to say that this is the
only fair for all policy possible for the
United States. they exclaim that Nc
Kinley does not believe it. Now, we
are confident that no two party leaders
could better agree than William Nc.
Kinley and James G. Blaine. The re-
ciprocity suggestion was, as it were, the
finishing stroke of a master mechanic
Before. the structure would hardly
withstand the driving winds; after, il
opposes staunch shelter, and is COM
pleted building. The genius within the
idea at once impressed every thinking
Republican. 1t solves question which
has always been asked in vain of advo-
Gates of a tariff. 1t opens a way by
which our country may adjust itself to
free trade. This could never be
reached at once. 1t would paralyze
the business of the country. But a
protection has been necessary and will
be for few years more to establish us
on competitive footing with the rest
of the world. Republicans therefore
said, if we need it to foster our resour-
ces, let us have it, But we are met
with arguments on 1.-The eternal rights
of things, buying in the cheapest
market, etc. A man is fool O ariori
to attempt denial of such truths. But
this country is an exception at present;
its case presents a Temporary exagera-
ton. Lay aside principle for mo-
ment then. and turn to the true state of
things. This shows why every honest
'protectiOnist" is or should be at bot
tom "free-trader"; and moreover, why
the Mckinley bill is good since it takes
a big step in the right direction, i. e.
towards free-trade. For this reason, if
for no other, the measure is good. 1t
provides a way whereby the United
States can adjust itself. after this tenn
porary remedy, gradually to the nor
nal state Of things. And, let no one
tell you that the Mckinley bill is a dis
tinctly high-tariff measure. 1t places
more articles on the free-list than the
Democratic Mills bill did. Therefore
the ad cal0rem duty on some other ar
ticles had to be raised to furnish the
revenue. The case is precisely the same
as if the tariff were taken off all articles
but one and the tariff on that was plac-
ed at go per cent. 1t might still be sail
that the tariff was 60 per cent, and op-
positionists would have much to talk
about; but the GO per cent would effect
