SELFISH DETROIT.

Considering the fact that Detroit is
more anxiously concerned in tho $780,
900 appropriation for q G.. A. X. en-
campment at that city, than any other
part of the State, it would have APP
peared better, and more like State
affair, if some speakers outside of
Detroit could have been induced to
speak for tho project. At the hearing
in Representative Hall, before the joint
committees the other evening, not q
speaker from any other part of the
State said n word, except the irreprcs-
sible Tim hester. As his mouth is open
on all occasions, from the birth of a
pappoose to the outbreak of war with
Italy, he doesn't count much either
way. When the hearing was first an
nounced. great flourish of trumpets
was made and speeches of all parties.
from all quarters, were advertised.
But they all evaporatcd before the
hearing, and the affair resolved itself
simply into request from Detroit.
While this does not affect the principle
of the case, yet it is significant of the
desire Of prominent politicians to keep
their hands off Of q boomerang. Be-
tween the soldier vote and the farmer
vote the mere politician is in . guam.
