Schenck's Seaweed Tonic contains

Dom Pedro dead has received the ac-
acknowledgement of his worth that was
denied him while living, and has
been given royal funeral by the
French government, while Engiand's
queen adorned his coffin with a
wreath of immortelles. Too often is
this the case with both public and pri-
vate individuals, and yet how futile
and inconsistent are these post-mortem
exhibitions of an appreciation and re-
gard that is refused in lifetime and
springs to the surface only when the
pulseless hands are crossed in death
and the tired heart stilled forever.

Harrison's opinion of the Democratic
gerrymander of Michigan is given in no
uncertain terms and he declares that, if
Congressional gerrymanders are per-
mitted, these methods may be extended
until we have the three great depart
ments of government Gin the grasp of
the gerrymander-the legislative and
executive directly, and the judicial in
directly, through the power of appoint
ment." He recommends that this mat
ter be regulated "by such constitutional
amendments as will secure uniformity
and prevent that disgraceful partisan
jugglery to- which such liberty OF
choice, if it exists, offers temptation"
In conclusion, he emphasizes as the
chief national danger, any fraudulent
or dishonest restriction of the right of
suffrage and suggests the appointment
of non-partisan commission whose
members might be selected by the SUI
preme Court, to whom u consideration
of the difficulties connected with our
elective franchise might be submitted
with good chance of just solution.
1t will thus be seen that he not only
points out evils, but suggests remedy,
and from this resume of the message
and these few short quotations, it may
readily be seen how manly and straight
forward, how forcible and well written,
how replete with information is this
state paper which Democratic newspa-
pers mention as "a perfunctory presen-
tation of customary topics"
Every patriotic citizen should consid-
er it duty to read each of these an
nual messages with care, and then
Judge for himself of the work accom-
plished within the year.

Partisan blindness.

"There are none so blind us those
who will not see," and il is extremely
amusing to note the defective vision of
our Democratic contemporaries when
ever they turn their optics toward any
successful Republican parsonage or
measure. Their comments upon Presi-
dent Harrison's recent message are an
illustration in point.
No unprecedented critic could deny
that it is an ably written and forcible
document, giving careful review of
the affairs of state; but because the
president dares, in manly and
straightforward way, to criticise the
theory of the Michigan Democracy pro-
viding for the election of electors by
congressional districts, and because he
proves conclusively that the inevitable
result of such measure would be the
overthrow of those principles upon
which the government was founded, -
for such good reasons as this, forsooth,
such papers as the Detroit Free Press
accord it no credit whatever, but refer
to it as "a perfunctory presentation of
the topics which it has been the custom
to include in annual messages"
Indeed, the Democratic brethren and
those so-called Independents who al
ways look through Democratic eye-
glasses seem wonderfully in accord and
develop remarkable liking for that
'perfunctory" statement. 1t rolls like
a sweet morsel under their tongue, and
the Detroit EUening Nel0s says, "The
presidents message to congress was AS
perfunctory state paper as has been
presented to that body in many year
There was not a CLEAN of intelligence
i'm it,"
1t hardly seems necessary to say that
such an extreme statement as this is
not calculated to awaken great conf
dence in the mind of the average reader
regarding the column of one-sided ut
terances to which it is prefixed, nor is
any person of intelligence, whether
friend or foe, liable to be unable to read
spite and envy between the lines.
Another illustration of this willful
blindness is culled from the columns of
the Grayling Democrat and reads as fol-
lows: "Never was a president so DIES.
pissed by his own party as Benjamin
Harrison" and this astounding declara-
ton is made in spite of the many eulo-
CYSTIC remarks often uttered by lthe
Republican press and his numerous adj
mirers throughout the land.
If to be "despised" is to be held in
the esteem universally accorded to Ben
jamin Harrison, then are we ready TO
be despised and rejected of all men.
