The New York. misunderstanding
emptyings-The Democratic party when II
puts up Dan Voorhees, to attack protection.
Under the Disability Pension Act, In just
four weeks after it became law 100000
applications for pensions under its provis-
ions had been filed.
For the benefit of the Michigan Press
Association the geysers at the Yellowstone
Park, are spouting. So is Dan voorhees, Tor
the benefit of the British manufacturer.
The N. Y. Press says that 1.-THE keynotes
of Democracy just now are obstruction,
filbustering and boycotting. And yet there
are Democrats who think their party stands
for principles"
The census returns SO far as collected
show that the farm mortgages are less than
one third the amount stated by the free
trade press, and of that third two thirds
are for purchase money.
Northwestern Tribune: Congressman
Bliss prospects for being his own successor
in this the eighth district, are very bright.
Mr.. Bliss never was more populor with his
constituents than at the present time.
The New York Mail and Express says
that qualification, secession and boycott all
mean the same thing" And we suppose
that is the reason why each of them has
been in turn so popular with the BOurbons
of the South.
Reader do not give yourself one moments
doubt about the Behring sea seal fisheries.
Harrison is President and Blaine is Secreta-
ry of State and every American interest mt
home or abroad is sure of the amplest pro-
lection.
''Iet us alone" is the southern cry against
the Federal Election bill, 1t is the same
old rebel howl so familiar to Northerners
during the ffties, but it will not avail.
and to secure these i'm the South we must
have Federal Election law.
The Detroit Tribune hit the nail squarely
on the head when it says: "The Republic
canism of the majority of the House of
Representatives at Washington is the kind
that suits the Republican party of the
country; and it may be well to mention
incidentally that it is also the kind that
wins victories as well as applause"
Joe Howard says 'Take no stock in
Democratic talk about the Force bill, the
Subsidy bill and the HarbOr bill. The
Republicans are i'm control of this Congress,
not the Democrats" That being so THE
TImEs thinks it is about time the ''Force
bill. the Subsidy bill and the Harbor BILL"
as we'll as the Mckinley bill became laws.
An official inquiry into the increase of
population i'm France reveals the following:
There are at present in France 1900, 900
households i'm which there has been no
child $500, 600 in which there is one; 2,
500, 900 in which there are two; 10000
in which there are three; about 100000
with four; 550.000 with five; $50, 900 with
six and 5000 with seven or more"
II is evident that President Harrison
means business. 1t is evident to ordinary
men of both parties that he intends and has
so far succeeded in making his administra-
ton signal in benefits to the country 1t is
certain that he is the right man for his high
position, and one who knows what he pro-
poses to do, and has the moral and the will
power to carry his purposes into execution.
By such man the people will stand firm.
The American Economist last week had
an exceedingly able article in favor of the
passage in the House Of the two shipping
bills which have passed the Senate, which
we trust may be placed i'm the hands of
every Representative. That the passage of
this bill would be a wise aud popular meas
ure we have no doubt and is i'm line with
the policy set forth in the National Repub-
Lean platform of 1888. Let the Republicans
act accordingly.
The most laughable farce of the age. The
attempt of the mugwump Detroit Evening
Journal to make sensible people believe
there is quarrel between Sec. Blaine and
the President and that the Republican SEN
at0rs do not intend to pass the Federal
Election bill before Congress adjourns.
But then that was in Tuesdays paper.
Probably before THE TIMES is printed the
Journal will be laughing at the men fooled
by its childish nonsense.
The TIMES is pleased to know that there
is no opposition in Republican circles to
the denomination of Col. A. Il. Bliss for
Representative in Congress. That is just
as 1t should be. The Col. has done well
the work intrusted to him and deserves to
he awarded the verdict, ''Well done good
and faithful servant" as he surely will be
at the convention and at the polls no matter
who may contest with him for Congressional
honors, and we believe by a larger plurality
than in 1883.
The N. Y. Press says to the Republicans:
''Go forward" And the people are with
the Press when it says: "The Republican
majority in this Congress must not permit
itself to be inundated by the Democratic
South nor bulldOzed by the Democrats in
