So the white members of the G. A. r. in
the South threaten to withdraw unless the
negro members be organized into separate
posts. In other words, the northern men
who are members of the organization in the
South, refuse to associate with negroes on
terms of equality, even within the secret
limits of the posts. Yes, race antipathy
is developed in the white race as soon as an
attempt is made az any sort of social equal
ity with the negro, and it is just as natural
in northern man as in one who was born
and raised in the South.-Alerandria Go

was decidedly opposed to the movement
for the removal of the negro, saying that
he is good citizen and would be all right
if he was only left alone by his friends, who
ware decidedly too numerous. He further
said that the majority of Southern people
knew that the negro is an essential fixture
of the South. and that it was only the
cIanks that call out against him.

For some time he had been paying atten-

which always attends enterprises of the
kind in which he was engaged. Seeing
that he was not to be captured by ordinary

put into execution. The neZt time her vic.

himself in a large arm chair, while the as
sassin OF his happiness occupied an ada,

artfulIy directed the conversation in that
direction and finally asked what handicap
was. "Why," said the youth, "it is

| weights; for instance the one that carries
| 1870 pounds, while all the rest are in at 1O0
or so, said to be handicapped" "Then,"
said the sorceress, while light seemed to
be emitted from her eyes, ''if were to cit

The Crops.

The August returns of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington indicate the
condition of the cotton crop to be $50 for
the wohle breadth, practically the same as
last month. There has been an improve
ment in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Arkansas.
Crops in New England have suffered
from dry weather, but the tobacco crop Is
promising, and cranberries will give an av-
erage yield.
Corn has fallen off two points during the
month, the decline being almost wholly IN
the Ohio Valley and the Northwestern
States.
Oats have improved two months during
the month, and the condition indicates a
medium yield per acre.
The average for spring wheat has advanc'
ed during the month over the whole
breadth.
Barley shows improvement and promises
large crop in most of the districts of heavy
production.
The first return for buckwheat is the
highest for eight years.
The condition of potatoes is returned re-
markedly high.

Michigan is cOnfessedly not democratic
State OF the Miner bill would never have
passed, cutting the state up into electoral
districts, and the hope of the party is
to secure portion of the electoral vote,
where it could not expect to secure it all.
There are serious doubts as to the legality
of the measure. The constitution of the
State of Michigan requires majority of
each house to do business. The seating of
Senators Morrow and Friedlender was done
by minority and the protest filed by ma
jOrity of Senators who were not present in
the chamber is matter of record. The
question that the supreme court of Michigan
must settle is whether legislation by a
minority is legal. Legislation dependent
upon the vote of Morrow and Friedlender
will be contested. Ex-Attorney General
Taggart raises the point whether the electors
elected by districts are appointed by the
state the latter clause being quotation
from the constitution Of the United
States providing that each state shall
dppOiub III tlC ltSloldtuIC
may direct, number of electors, etc.
The legislature in the Miner bill directs
certain portions of the state to choose one
elector each, instead of the state choosing "a
number of electors" While there have been
instances of district choosing, the constitu-
tionality of the matter wSs never decided,
The further provision i'm The constitution
for the choice of president by the house of
representatives in case of failure to elect by
the electors was a concession to the repre-
sentatives by the people after the represen-
tatives of the states had failed to elect lends
color to the view of Attorney Taggart. In
any event the position of Michigan with
reference to the next presidential election
will be closely watched and may involve the
settlement of the presidency upon constitu-
tional questions.

THE TIMES.
Timely and Untimely.

n. X. Potter, of Burns, was i'm Owosso
last Monday. Mr.. Potter it will be remem-
bered made the fight for state senator last
fall, and with a great number of other
Republicans was defeated but the sting of
defeat only intensified his republicanism.
There are some qualifications incident to
not being in the state senate" said Mr..
Potter I'm the first place the edium that
is brought upon members of the present
body have escaped. Then Senator Wilcox
whose position might have been envied after
election, has found his lot very uncomfort-
able The patron movement was manipu
lated last fall with the view to democratic
success, but it has been worked once, and
the order has lost many friends The
Grange never went into politics and has had
communities. The direct effect of the Pat
rons' movement has been to transfer politi-
cal power from the country to the city. In
succeeding legislatures the farmers will
never have the present representation since
the democratic policy has been to transfer
power whenever possible to the cities, so
that the large cities in Michigan hereafter
would have preponderating influence IN
legislative matters, the cities being usually
democratic and the rural districts republican.
AS for example large moeties like those in
Shiawassee, Eaton and Montcalm counties
.aggregating enough for five representatives
only have three, while the same number of
inhabitants in Detroit or Grand Rapids
would have five. This is an injustice accom-
splished under legal sanction which should
be made an issue by the farming commune
ties"
The democratic character of the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan is i'm nowise better shown
than in the recent Oratorical contest of the
Northwestern r-Collegiate Association.
GormelIy, the champion orator, was work.
ing his way through college by setting type
on one of the city papers, and alternated
his time between follwing Blackstone and
'copy." The curled darling element so
lately ridiculed in Chicago papers, attracted
no attention in this instance while the
young printer was the lion of the day.
Never before was realized to that extent the
definition OF a university as IAN inspiration
and an opportunity" The accomplishment
of Gormelly is an inspiration to any young
man who cares to work for success.
