THE OBSERVER.
Men Wanted.

The great need of this age is men,
and especially in the government of
city and State affairs; men who are not
for sale; men who are honest, sound
from center to circumference, true to
the hearts core; men who will con-
denim wrong IN friend or foe, in them
selves as we'll as IN others; men who
Will stand for the right il the heavens
totter and the earth reels: men who
can tell the truth, and look the world
and satan right IN the eye; men that
neither boast nor run men that neither
flag nor finch; men who have courage
without whistling for it, and JOY with
cut shouting To bring il; men IN whom
the current of everlasting life runs
deep, still and strong; men too large for
sectarlan limits ana too strong for Sec
tarlan bonds; men who do not SWIVEL
nor cry; men who do not curse nor
swear, nor cause their voices to be
heard in the street; men who will not
fail nor be discouraged till judgment
be set upon the earth; men who know
their message and tell II; men who
know their duty and do il; men who
know their place and fill it; men who
will not lie for the sake of gaming
favor; men who are not too lazy to
work. nor too proud to be poor; men
who are willing to eat what they have
honestly earned, and wear that which
they have paid for, be 1t high or low.
Such men are wanted in the coming
election, III both the Republican and
Democratic parties, Prohibition not ex-
cepted. They are wanted in business
houses, in the counting room, in
society, in church. on farms and IN
factories, in public places and in private
life; IN fact, everywhere, and none
other should be wanted anywhere.

Attorney smiley has asked Judge
Grove to cite the newspapers Of this
city to appear before him and answer
to q charge of alleged contempt. The
grounds for this remarkable request are
that during the trial OF civil action in
the circuit court IN which he appeared
as an attorney for the defendant the
newspapers published certain facts con-
corning the history of the case, and
among other things, that upon aformer
trial of the same case a jury had re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff for
$4,000. Mr.. Smiley contends that this
isa contempt of court. because the
statement prejudiced the jury. The
claim is 8 singular one for an attorney
TO make in this enlightened age.
IL becomes still more singular IN view
of the announcement made by the same
attorney that he would wager money
that his position is correct. The news
pspers published the facts in the case
for the benefit of the public. Tney did
not. acting asa person, communicate
with the jury in relation to the merits
of the suit. nor attempt to discuss the
issue involved. The Jurors we're not in
vited to read the statements appearing
in the papers. nor we're thew compelled
to do so. II 10 TO be presumed that I'M
der the charge of the court the Jurors
not only refrsined from talking with
others about the merits OF the case, but
also avoided reading the papers, or such
portions Of them as contained sllusons
to the cause IN which they were sitting
as Jurors. II y difficult to see lust how
the newspapers have made themselves
amensble to punishment for contempt
IN the case at hand. No order was Is
sued by the court. no rule was promul-
gated and no notice Of any kind was
given to the press. Hence no order was
violated. no rule broken, no notice dis
regarded. Mr.. Smiley certainly has
struck an unique attitude, and the
newspapers await with curiosity TO
know how he can MAINTAIN his position.

The supervisors have finally con-
cluded to give the Western Construction
Company ten days notice Of their pur-
pose to revoke the contract for building
the Kent county court house, un-
less the work is pushed rap
idly forward to completion. This
action will meet with the approval of
the taxpayers, who have become indig-
nsnt over the exasperating delay in
completing the structure. That htiga-
ton Will follow this conclusion has been
anticipated and suitable provision is
made for the employment of legal
talent. 1t is unfortunate that greater
sagacity has not been displayed
in the management and direction of
business, but this has been due largely
to the absence of one executive clothed
with full authority. Responsibility

PARTIsANshIP IS THERE.

II Judge Chanplin desired to make
q run for Justice of the Supreme
Court on his merits-and the TELE-
eRAM-HERALp would be the last To uis-
parage them-he should have used his
best endeavors with his friends to con-
struct clean platform for HIM to stand
upon. He knew, at the time Of the
convention, that party feeling was run
nlng very high IN the State Senate and
had infected the whole State. He
knew that mis- party was madly intoxi
Gated with the success and WAS making
an idol OF Lieut.. Gov. Strong, for his
recent abuse of his official position. He
knew that the convention, assembled IN
Lansing under the very shadow of the
capitol where the Democrats had con-
ceived and contaminated the steal Of
two seat, in the Senate, were liable to
"slop over" in expressions of JOY and
gladness. Knowing all this, if he
wished to make . canvass free from the
faint of partisanship, he should have
used his endeavors to prevent the very
thing which happened, and which he
ought to have expected would happen
the endorsement of the Senatorial steal.
That plank in the platform upon which
he stands Is rotten. 1t sanctions prin-
ciples of injustice totally at variance
with Judge Champlin's judicial charsc-
ter and duty. 1t is rotten with parti-
sanship, and that rotten plank will
break beneath the weight of his judi
cal talents, learning and experience
and drop him out of sight, into the very
Sums of partisanship which he is so
anxious to avoid.
