Ii is sad BY those vino kncw him veil
that The ex-governor has been as un-
easy as duck IA a desert since he gave
% his Lansing fs ssaenee, laid down the
executive reins and sahssded into the
mildly exactiag position OF VICE presi-
dent OF village bank. The Governor
fancied lha, be would ENJOY the repose
after having heen for four straight
years IN the swim OF state politics aud
big events. but Ike a geed many other
people who fancied that inertia meant
rest. the retired executive ilas already
realized els mistake aud the Washing
ton tip is the tirst tangible evidence OF
IL.
There can no innger De denied that
your Uncle Cyrus has his weather eye
glued fixe.Ily on tho Iastsd States Sen.
atorship in 1892. Up "a the time the
sturdy Old Governor retired from the
executive ofiice he asserted with praise
worthy insislenee that he had no
further political ambition. blt he evil
dently experienced a change OF heart
very soon after retuiping from the
ranks, for il is nov an open secret
among Ms friends that the senatorial
bee is bnzzins very Loudly aud tumult-
ously under the ex-guberaatoral silk
hat. From now OIL ali his energy and
influence Will be bent To that end.
Ex-Govcrnor Lucc's hopes are OF
course based upon the idea that the
Michigan Legislature can be driven
back INTO the Republican column IN
1892. Other ambItSe.s Republicans
realize the desirabiiity Of this. but they
also appreciate the fact that, ii the
present temper OF the people continues,
the only way in which the Legislature
can bc recaptured is to place . big cor
ruption fund in every close or douhtful
legislative district in the State. Money
must flow like water IN the Republican
campaign OF 1892. A man with Il mod
est S.5, 900 or 100000 as the sum total
OF his earthly possessions has no bnsi-
ness IN the tusslo, and that is why the
hopes OF the man from Gilead, Lansing
aud Coldwater are very liable to turn
to Dead Sea fruit, no matter how the
legislative election may go. But the
Ex-Governor IS III the swim, and Will
stay to the iinish.-Lansing Journal.

Michigan:--The University. CT Michigan

of Yale, has offered us S20.-
600 for the purpose OF erect
ing a gymnasium on the
condition that the alumni of the Mich
igan University raise an equal sum in
the ensuing three months. Up TO date
about $4,000 has been subscribed, and 1t
the earnest wish of all who love our
alma mater that the rest of it will be
secured in time to avail Ourselves Of
this magnificent offer.
Detroit has subscribed abou. $4,000
outside OF Mr.. Waterman's offer. and
Grand Rapids should not be far behind.
The graduates are bending
every energy To help the work along.
by giving concerts, entertainments, and
editing new works.
