The County Treasurer.

The Owosso Press attempts to create the
impression that Geo. ID. Mason, the Republic
an candidate for Treasurer, should not be
elected because he is the son of his father.
If the Press will take occasion to ask anyone
who has transacted business at the treasur-
er's office, it will be found that no more
courteous and correct gentleman ever occu-
pied the place than Geo. ID. Mason. If the
Press will ask any member of the board of
supervisors, Democrat or Republican, it will
be found that the most correct and neat set
Of books are those kept by Geo. ID. Mason.
And if the Press will take the trouble to
ascertain from the offices of the State treas
urer and auditor general it will be found
that Geo. ID. Mason is one of the most accu-
rate county officials in Michigan. The
American idea is that pre-eminent fitness is
the only qualification.

Copperheadism.

Let the GAR. veterans and the loyal
citizens of Michigan remember that Edwin
&. Winans, when member of the Michigan
legislature, refused even so much as to vote
sympathy and encouragement to the soldiers
then in the field fighting for the Union.
When Abraham Lincoln had issued the
emancipation proclamation Edwin b. VII
mans refused assent by his vote in the Mich
igaa legislature. When the Senate and
House of Representatives of Michigan re-
solved that the State would sustain the
government of the u. s.. Edwin b. Winans
voted no. For those whose death we spread
flowers Memorial day Edwin b. Winans
said he had no sympathy. When Michigan
can forget the days of a nations peril and
cease to revere the dead who wore the blue
and the living who wear the button Edwin
B. Winans can be governor.

The election law passed in 1889 was in
tended among other things to prevent the
voter from being deceived as to the ballot he
places In the box. A vignette being chosen
by each party for purposes OF complete iden-
tlfcation. However the democratic party
this state, expect to deceive the voters by
having practically the same ticket, the same
candidates, with a different head on the
tickets. The patrons ticket that will be
printed by the state will be almost identical
probably entirely SOY with the democratic,
with the exception of the title. The circum-
stances must be that the two parties have
the same principles or they have different
| ones, or a third possibility is that there are
no principles involved. No other statement
OF conditions is possible. III the first as
sumption be true, tickets with separate
headings and the same candidates has no
possible defense. Being intended but to
deceive, can have have no Justification,
and while within the pale of the law
Is morally indefensive, and might be
Justly said an attempt to secure
votes under false pretenses. In the other
case if the principles are different, then one
or the other parties to the union must have
surrendered their principles to their greed
for Office. The third hypothesis would not
be admitted by either party, although it
would not require much evidence in addi-
ton to either of the first two conclusions to
show entire lack of principles. Let honest
men resent the attempt to deceive OF rebuke
the surrender of principles or abandon a
party confossedly unprincpled.

Tea and Opium.

One Of the choicest gems of editorial mat
ter that passes for mental pabulum is culled
for consideration from last weeks collection
in the Owosso Press. It's that since the
passage of the Mckinley bill tea and opium
have advanced 20 per cent. Now as tea and
opium are Oh the free list, the effect that the
tariff may have on them is not obvious to
any one but The Press. 1t has often been
question with Democrats whether it paid
to secure correct information, because it
didn't make any difference to the party rank
nd file, who don't know and don't care.
This is one of the reasons why it is so easy
to write Democratic editorials, which are
amusing in their assumptions, but scarcely
instructive.

Not so Bad.

/ 1t is somehow remarkable how rapidly the
| newspaper talk about the mOrtgaged farmer
| is subsiding. Last winter petitions were cir
culated, printed i'm papers that were in agony
over the suffering of the farmer, and sent to
Congress, asking for census of farm mort
cages of the country. Congress passed the
necessary legislation and the count began.
1t was very soon found that the country was
not mOrtgaged nearly so much as the papers
which expected to make capital out of the
census supposed, and cry was raised that
the enumeration was not a fair one 10y some.
though a large number admitted its correct
ness, and on basis Of facts at once REVISED
their old editorials on the oppression of the
mortgage. In no state is the mortgage in
debtedness one-half what it is claimed to be
while i'm some it is not One-fifth the claimed
amount.
That there are large number of farmers
suffering under mortgage debts is not to be
doubted. This is especially the case in the
newer states and territories, where the mon
ey shark is most abundant, and where re-
turns from new ground come in slowly.
That this debt, like any other debt, is mis-
fortune, i'm the sense that is worse to be in
debt than to be out of debt, is very true, but
that it is misfortune in the sense that it
would have been better'fOr the farmer not
to have gone in debt, but to have struggled
on without borrowing money, is in the very
large proportion of cases not true. A large
proportion of this money was borrowed for
the purpose of making improvements on the
farms, for purchase money, for stock or for
other needs of the farm that made the Dor
rowing a necessity to successful farming.
and it has paid well to borrow. -Michigan
Tradesman.
The facts as stated i'm the above article
were well illustrated by an argument in
Owosso between Joseph Purvis, we'll
known farmer of Middlebury township, and
Ben Colyin, one of those strange Outcomes
of social agitation residing at Saginaw,
Purvis telling the Saginaw county agitator
that men who were industrious did not work
mortgaged farms.
