WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Ruling Passion.

Nenominee Herald:
The Acknowledgement Of Michigan
was elected upon the Democratic
reform" platform and his first ex-
pressed anxiety in that direction is to
have his $500 salary increased to 5000
per annum. Now if there are any
Bourbon patriots possessed of burn
ing desire to have their salaries cut
down we have not heard from them.
They are willing to abolish the State
Board OF Health, cut down the appro-
prlations for State institutions but TO
reduce their own salaries would be like
turning the world topsy-turvy.
