The one great need in this city Is free
reading room, with baths and gymnasium
attached. At present there are hundreds
of young men In the city, who are home
less and haven no place to spend their eve
nings, unless they go to saloons. A
boarding house or hotel is a cheerless
place for a young man to pass his leisure
time in, and thus he Is compelled to visit
places that are not agreeable to him.
We do not know Of more cherries life
for man than to be homeless, for n
boarding house or hotel can never supply
the desire for home. Men so situated
must have some place where they can
congregate and associate with each other,
and the only present place for such men
are the saloons. The great majority Of
the homeless men do not go to the saloons
because they are fond OF them, but be-
cause there are no other places where
they are welcomed. II free reading
room was in use here, 1t would afford just
the place where the homeless men would
be apt to congregate and pass their eve
nings, and it would result in immense
good The liquor business would be the
loser by such place being operated
For some years past prominent Alpena
capitalist has had standing offer to bear
half the expense Of such building, and
a movement is now on foot for the pur-
pose Of carrying out the much needed
christian enterprise. We trust it will be
heartily approved by the citizens. The
cost Of such place is estimated at &c.

rich. He was strongly opposed TO laws
which placed burdens on one man for the
advantage and benefit OF another. Nc
tax should be raised except for the pur.
pose Of paying the expenses OF the gov.
eminent honestly and economically ad.
ministered. Beyond that taxes were but
robbery under the guise OF law. The In
famous force bill, whereby the Republi.
cans proposed to control elections, was
fully shown with all its detestable feat
ures, whereby the power OF electing con-
gressmen was really taken from the peo-
pie and given to few thousand interest
ed Office holders.
On pensions he expressed himself very
strongly, and believed that every soldier
who had received an honorable discharge
should have pension.
In speaking OF the increased tax on tin,
he showed what great burden 1t placed
on a canning establishment In Bay City
and how the expense Of that one estab-
lishment were increased by reason OF the
tax. The increased expense would event
ually have to be placed on the buyers OF
canned goods. He showed many instan-
ces as to how the Mckinley tariff bill
made the burdens OF poor people still
heavier, and proved that the bill was SC
constructed as to make the laborers and
farmers pay nearly all the expenses
Of the government as well contribute
most of the wealth collected by million
aires.
He promised II elected to work not fol
Bay City alone, but for the interests o.
the entire district.
A few remarks were made by Mr.. Frid
lender.

AT the Republican senatorial conven-
ton, held at AuSable last Wednesday,
Benjamin G. Morse, Of this city, was
placed in nomination as the Republican
candidate for State senator for this, the
26th district. Mr.. Morse is young man
and is well known here, but we do not
think he will cut very heavy into the
Democratic vote, as the reasons which
lead voter to put on slip for local
officer do not work when 1t comes to a
political Office like that Of State senator.
Personally we have nothing to say against
him

Rev. John Mundy preached his first
sermon as rector of Trinity church last
Sunday, and at the close made a few
brief remarks to the congregation, which
were attentively listened to and left a
very favorable impression. He spoke OF
the manner I'm which he came here at
first, not from any choice OF his. He re-
ferred to the fact that the bishop had
sent him here then to prepare conflrma-
ton class. He thought the hand Of God
had something to do with his coming.
He was fully aware OF the important duty
and work that was before him or any
other minister who tried to do his duty,
and prayfully hoped that when he came
to meet them at the last day for
judgement that he would not be found
deficient. A pastor mingled with his
people both in their sorrow and joys, he as
sisted at the baptisms, officiated at the
marriages, and finally rendered his last
duty at the funeral. He asked the pray
ers OF the congregation that his work
might be fruitful, and wanted their hearty
cooperation In the great work that lay
before every Christian congregation.
We believe Mr.. Mundy will be an esteem
ed rector OF Trinity, and the better his
people know him the better they will
like him.
