The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1890-11-05


The President fully realizing the inn
portance of the election next Tuesday,
and the necessity for the casting of
every Republican vote, has been putting
In double time at his desk during the
last few days, i'm order that he might
get time tn set good example 10
laggard Republicans by going all the
way To Indiana In order To vote for the
nominees of his party. U. S. Treasurer
Huston has been i'm Indiana for some
days; Private Secretary Halford went
yesterday, and Attorney General Miller
and Marshall Ransdall to-day. Every
train in every direction carries Republi-
cans, temporarily residing in Washing
ton, To their homes To vote, and it is
earnestly hoped that no Republican at
home will stay away from the polls be-
cause he thinks his not necessary for
success of the party. III you believe in
the administration and in the Republi-
can majority in Congress show 1t by the
casting your vote. The Congressional
committee here has absolutely certain
knowledge that the Democrats have
raised a corruption fund amounting to
$3.50, 900 among the importers 10 be used
in the purchase of votes on election day.
Keep your eyes wide open and see that
no votes are purchased in your vicinity.
1t is now thought here that the
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench
will be filled by either Secretary Noble
or Attorney General Miller, and if by
the former, that Hon. j. 5. Clarkson
will become Secretary of the Interior.
superintendent Porter of the Census
Bureau has officially announced that
there will be no more recounts of popu-
lation, and that early next week the
official population of the entire country,
by States, will be announced. The
bulletin would have been issued this
week, but for unexpected delay in re-
ceiving the schedules of several districts
in Virginia and Missouri which have
been recounted on account of errors in
the first enumeration.
The British government has adopted
somewhat novel line of tactics in
dealing with the Behring Sea dispute.
The British minister here, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has, in series OF newspa-
per interviews, told what his govern
ment wishes done i'm order that this
country, Great Britain and Russia may
hold convention for the purpose of
arbitrating the disputed points But
one construction can be put upon this
unusual and extraordinary method of
treating an important international
question The British wish TO work up
public opinion in this country in favor
of arbitration The action of the Brit
ish minister in thus appealing To the
public for its sympathy In behalf OF his
government is, of course, highly COM
plimentary To American citizens, but if
he thinks TO pull the wool over the eyes
of our wide-awake Zecretary of state by
such methods he is destined To find
himself wofully mistaken. MIR. Blaine
has never asked for anything which
does not rightfully belong to the United
States in this matter, and with less
than what belongs to us he will never
be satisfied, and if he agrees to resort
TO arbitration of any kind, which |
doubt, John Bull may rest assured that
the "snap" which he enjoyed through
the last arbitration with us, that result
ed in the VIGOROUSLY unjust Geneva
award" will not be duplicated. Uncle
Sam may not be up to all the tricks of
European diplomacy, but he will never
get caught in the same trap twice.
There is belief here that Secretary
Window will, in his annual report, take
strong grounds in favor of curtail-
ment of the privileges now enjoyed by
the Canadian railroads in the matter of
transporting freight through the United
States. At present these roads are al
lowed TO carry ears, sealed with con
sular seal, through this country without
examination or the payment of duties
of any sort Mr. Window does not up
prove of this system which he thinks
an unjust discrimination against our
own railways, and it is known that he
has held several conferences with the
president in regard to it, and that the
latter agrees almost entirely with him
in believing change to be desirable.
SICK HEADACHE.
