The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1890-06-11

About nine o'clock in the morning
the fugitive from jastice emerged.
So completely was he metamor-
phosed, as they say In the books, that
it made my head ache to recognize
him, and a man with less mansard
roof to his forehead, though far greater
pecuniary resources, would have let
him pass unchallenged.
So did /, for that matter, but / was
at great pains not TO lose sight of him.
His low crowned linen hat and long
buster had given place to high silk
tile and broadcloth coat, while his legs
were engaged in pair of shapely,
light-colored trousers.
Pausing in his walk, he seated him
self upon rustic bench, behind which
was bracket and board sign, Look
out for paint !"
Whether it was the pongs of his
guilty conscience or the odor of the
lead and oil, / shall never know, but
he soon leaped excitedly to his feet,
caught up his coat tails, and looked
searchingly behind him.
A successful detective should have
no sense of the ludicrous. L have, and
that it was that ruined me.
The two dark bars on the abaft por-
ton of the Fox's light trousers sug-
gested the grating of the lookup to
which l was soon to consign him, and L
laughed aloud.
With scowl he turned upon me.
Then, realizing that the bars were
down and the Jig up, L told him he was
my prisoner.
In ten minutes had brought him to
Clark street and summoned patrol
wagon.
This is Cooney, the Fox" said L,
when the conveyance arrived.
Then the three officers began to
laugh like fends.
And who bez YEP" demanded the
leader of the gang.
"The unraveler of the great Cronin
mystery; the original and only"
Fraud" shrieked the copper, as he
tore open my coat and removed my
homemade star.
Then they said something, I don't

others should follow suit on the same
line. Then Gen. Longstreet wrote that
famous letter urging the Southern people
to accept the situation. and unite with
the North in the upbuilding OF the
country and obliterating all vestiges and
traces of the war, SO far as sectional pas
sion was concerned, and have a real. sim

ton of the ERA of good-feesng.' etc.
Whereupon the Bourbon editors savaeely
swooped down upon Longstreet with a
ferocity unequaled in abuse. Wheeler
had interlined and made marginal notes
on Longstreet's letter. but all these Gen
erals went back on Gen. Longstreet. and
he was lef to tread the wine press alone.
and all these army colleagues of Gen.
Longstreet succumbed to the hot Bourbon
fire. Lieut.. Gen. A. p. Stewart was
present and approved of Gen. Long
streets course, but Stewart said he was
no politician, never had been, and did not
intend to be, but he Endorsed Long
streets letter, although he (StewarD

were to follow with letters sustaining

THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.
From the Philndelphia Press.


The two strongholds of the Democratic
party are the solid South and New York
City, and Tammany Hall is the life and
soul of New York City Democracy. In
both these neighborhoods the sway of the
Democratic party is complete, and hence
it is only just to look to these localities
for evidences of the party's spirit and to
find the results of its rule. What Tam
many Hall has been in the past is written
in the political records of the country.
What it is to- day can be judged from the
men who are the leaders of that organiza-
ton, and whom the New York Post tabu-
lates according to character and occupa-
ton as follows:

THE recent increase of insanity shown
by most countries is attributed by an
eminent French physician, DIR. GARNER,
to excessive brainwork and alcoholism.
Cases from other causes have not be.
come more numerous. Very curiously,
the increase is greater among females
than males, the number of male ma.
MACS from alcoholic causes having
doubled in fifteen years, while that OF
the female insane from the same causes
has much more than doubled in the
time.

THE Farmers Alliance in Alabama was
defe ated by the Democrats in their State
convention Saturday, though the alliance
candidate had almost n majority of all
the delegates. Will they organize for
themse now, or will they abide by the
resolution of the Democrats, that to di-
vide the white mans vote in the South
deserves unqualified condemnation? That
means shotgun arguments, and the farm
ers will no doubt submit.

Better Organization.

We hear of more thorough organiza-
tion being effected for the Republican
party. We suggest that il be in the direc-
ton, among others, of reaching the
masses. We have a good organization
now. but it does not 30 into the corn
fields and shops enough. We need ma
chinery that will run smoothly, but it
should include working people more than
1t does. The editor, and official of the
county, the lawyer and aspirant for Office
can do good work organizing. but let
them keep modestly in the shade little
until they get others to working. They
get most of the positions and fat, and
can afford to see others run the machin-
cry. Send good shop people and farmers
to the conventions. Get the active bust
ness man enlisted. He seldom asks
Office, but would. if asked, go to the
conventions. He is methodlcal and
valuable. Do not send all of one church
or society or army post to run things.
Give general recognition and thereby
create general interest. See to it that all
C lasses are represented on the tickets
nominated for State offices. The veter-
ans have the love OF the people and will
naturally get the ma jority of the places.
Be sure they come from the great indus
tries, and once IN a while recognize the
boys who were too young to see military
service. Shut out the fellows who never
do ANYTHING unless their names are on
the ticket. They deserve nothing. Ours
is working party and workers are
worthy. Get back to the school house
canvass. The opposition will beat us on
a still hunt. We thrive best in the full
sunlight The people love the principles
of the Republican party and only vote
other party tickets for spleen at neglect
L l. n
particularly sensitive of any one set to
run things The fact is we'll known that
the strongest men in the opposition are

deserving men in most cases.-IoWa

These two illustrations of the spirit
which controls the Democracy and the
results which follow its undisputed rule
are worth placing in conjunction SO that
they may be studied together. If it were
not for the power which Tnmmany HILL
Yields by means of the corrupt and ig-
norant vote in New York City, and the
power the Southern Democracy employs
through fraud and force. the Democratic
party would be as dead to-day as the old
Federal and Wing parties are. 1t sur
wives, not by the inherent strength of
principles, but through the corrupt in
huence of Tammany Hall and the oppor-
tunity for fraud the Southern Democracy
has gained through force.
The self-respecting men who act with
the Democratic party should consider
the results OF the dominance of that or
ganization MS illustrated in New York
City and In the Southern States. In the
the first, the sckening revelations of cor
ruption, which are being made from day
to day in the investigation in the Sheriff
office, and, in the second, the enormous
facations of State Treasurers are not
accidents. They are fruits of the spirit
that govern the party. Is it not time for
self-respectlng men to ask themselves if
they can continue to support a party the
result of whose rule is SO demoralizing?

name. First, about how Longstreet went
into the Republican party in ls66-67. Gen.
erals John b. Hood, Joseph Wheeler,
A. u. Stewart and others, were in Long
streets Office in New Orleans, soon after
the war, when the advisability of accept
ing the reconstruction measures of Con-
gress was discussed. II was decided
that il was the wisest thing to do, and
as they agreed that General Long,
street was the greatest living Con-
,ederate next to Lee. it was thought
best Longstreet should lead of in an
open letter on the subject; and then

AS the Post is a Democratic paper, this
classification may be considered as cor
rect and authoritative. 1t is, so TO speak,
an inside view of one of the most power
full Democr tic organiz ations in the
Northern States by paper which knows.
or ought to know, the composition of the
party with which it trains. Without this
organization, which is led by convicted
criminals, gamblers, liquor dealers, pu-
gilists and toughs, the Democratic party
would be powerless in the leading state
in the Union, whose vote is decisive in
national politics.
What the spirit Of Democracy is in the
Southern States, where the party has I'M
disputed control. has been recently shown
in compilation of the State Treasurers
who have defaulted and the amounts they
have stolen. The table is worth repeat
ing in connection with the revelations
now being made concerning Tammany
Hall. 1t is as 70 lows

THERE was called meeting of the
BRENNAN board of trade on Thurs
day morning. The reporter search
ed diligently for the secretary to
find out what was done at the meet
ing, but he could not be found high
or low. 1t is understood, however,
that the main object of the meeting
was to take steps to secure concert
of action between the warehouse
men, the cotton buyers, merchants
and congresses with the view of
offering the best possible prices to
farmers for their cotton and to pre-,
vent them from carrying it else
where.

Take Careg There is Danger

In allowing inactivity of the kidneys to
grow through neglect. The deadly shoals
of Bright's disease and disbetes will wreck
the goodly bark of health if it is allowed 10
drift rudderless upon them. The bladder,
too, if inactive, and judicious medication
does not speedily direct the helm toward the
port of safety, will be whelned by the quick
sand of disease. In selecting a ciureiic, let
your choice fall upon Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which stimulates the renal organs
without irritating and exciting them, two
effects to be apprehended from the unmedi-
Gated stimuli largely resorted to. These have
tendency to react prejudicislly. The Bit
tiers invigorate the kidneys and bladder, in
common with the nerves and the digestive
organs, and so afford lasting aid. 1t also
affords dual assistance in preventing and
curing intermittent and remittent fever.
Billiousness, constipation and rheumatism

In conversation yesterday with a
cotton buyer the BANNER learned
that the railroads were making big
discrimination in the shipment of
cotton from Brennan. The roads
charge the same amount of freight
per bale for cotton shipped from
this point whether compressed or
not compressed, while at every other
point where there are congresses
the railroad companies pay for the
COMPRISING of the cotton-the only
thing required being that the cotton
be delivered at the compress.

This is the third week since our

we are pleased to say that greater
active public interest has been dis
played than any of our former ad-
vertisements.-we are pleased The
facts about our goods and prices are
getting abroad more, and more peO
pie finding them out every day. We
appreciate the fact, there is sound
business wisdom in getting up a
grand clearance sale as we have
done in selling the goods at low
figure now rather than carry them
over and accumulate old stock.
1t takes courage to cut the prices
so low you say Sure enough But
nobody is more keenly alive to the
great permanent advantages to be
gained by giving the people Genuine
Bargains than we are.
And in accordance with that fact
the prices of our goods go Down,
Down to the lowest notch they have
ever reached in the history of Brcn-
