Wood Co. Reporter.
GRAND RAPIDS, WISCONSIN.

All the well-wishers Of Mrs. James u.
Blaine, Jr.,-and they are legion-are
hoping that the late Mrs. Lily Manchester
Laughton remembered Mrs. Blaine In her
will. Mrs. Laughton was connection OF
pretty Marie Blaine, and it was under the
formers chaperonage in Washington that
lovely Marie Nevins had the misfortune to
meet Jimmie Blaine. Mrs. Laughton
was very fond Of her young relative, and
as she gas enormously rich, 1t is possible
she has left some practical token of her
affection to young Mrs. Blaine. The an
nual income of Mrs. Laughton was some
thing like 100000, and out of this
abundance she has probably made some
bequest to the pretty young creature who
has suffered so much. Their is but one
heir to the enormous fortune left by Mrs.
Laughton, and that is her daughter, the
child of her first marriage, who IS now the
Marouise Pedrosa.

Ex-GovERNoR HOARD tells an unquse-
toned truth when he declared that ''every
pound of oleomargarine is cheat and
fraud" It certainly is as far as the &C,
tual consumer is concerned. Not or
person in 18th thaou66S21hai him as butter is not
butter in any sense but greasy compound
an artificial mixture of animal fats and
hemicals bearing no more relationship to
cow butter than Drowned peas to genuine
coffee. This oily hodge-podge is an i'm
position. The hotel keeper or restara-
teur may perhaps know the true character
of the substance which he imposes upon
his patrons as butter, but the latter are
ignorant of the deceit, and it is they who
have the best right to know the truth.
Mr.. Hoard argues against the oleomarga-
rine humbug because of its injurious effect
upon the dairy interests, but the general
public's special concern is or that per-
sonal nature which revolts at sham and to
which the very thought of substituting for
the pure product of cream an oleaginous
counterfeit of questionable ingredients is
repulsive in the extreme.
The official figures of the vote in New
York show it to have been about 200, 600
smaller than the vote for governor in 1888,
but l40, 900 larger than the vote for gov
ernor in 1885. Mr.. Flower received $50,
1874 votes and Mr. Fassett 533, 935, max
ing Flowers plurality 1884. Flower S
vote was g. 900 less than Hill received in
1918, while Fassett fell $1,000 below Mil
er in the same year, although Miller ran
almost 10000 votes below Harrison.
Flower ran 1852 votes ahead of Sheehan,
while Vrooman had 6,62l more votes than
Fassett One candidate on the democratic
ticket rad larger plurality than Flower,
-Rosendae, the attorney general-esect;
while on the republican ticket the candi-
dates for lieutenant governor, secretary of
state, treasurer and state engineer receiv-
ed more votes than Fassett. The socialist
labor candidate for governor received
1851 votes, more than half in New York
and Brooklyn, while the prohibitionist
received 90,353, only $500 in these two
large cities. The prohibition vote in New
York seems to be fixed qurntity, for it
was 80, 231 in 1885, and 3O,867 in 1883.

GRANTS REMAINS.

Mrs. lis. Grant is ill in New York
in worrying over the attempt to remove
her husbands remains from New Y York to
Washington. A dispatch says:
Her brown hair is siIvering very fast
Her step has lost its elasticity. The
troubles of the past few years have fur
rIowed her brow Life isn't very bright to
her now. She enjoys the society Of her
children and the memories of other days.

where the body of her husband rests. Jesse
Grant usually accompan1es her. FIRE.
quently she remeins lor an hour. She
tnds comforts in these visits. 70 her it is
a sacred duty"
Why remove the body Of the hero when
1t IS SO comforting to his widow to have
her husbands body near her. It takes
time to build the mausoleum over bis re-
mains in New York, but nobody doubts it
will be finished one Of these days.
George w. Childs. one of General
Grants most intimate personal friends.
says in the Philadelphia Ledger, that ssthe
inconsiderate people who keep urging
General Grants widow to have his remains
removed to Washington would cease
troubling her if they had as much regard
for her dead husband as they profess.
This is fitting rebuke expressed in fitting
terms. Col CockerilI in the N. Y. Adver-
tiser says; Let us have peace, 7 remarked
General Grant. And, standing beside his
grave, Mrs. Grant pleads: "Let him have

A DIFFERENCE.

The Tacoma Globe, in referring to the
probable appointment of Senator Allen to
the .. s. circuit judgeship says:
The governor would have power to fill
the vacancy by appointment, and he would
be urgently importuned to do so, but in
view OF the clamer for an extra session of
the legislature for other reasons, he would
probably prefer to grant the body the priv
llege and the responsibility of making the
selection.
a certain ring Of politicians in this state
some time ago gave it out that in case Of
OF Senator Allen's appointment to the
bench the governor would name as Ills
successor Hon. Tom Brents, Of Walla
Walla. The governor himself has said he
saw no reason why he should not exercise
his prerogative and appoint a U. s. senator.
Besides. the governors an astute politician
and perhaps thinks an appointment would
solldify the party in the state better than
an extra session Of the legislature would.

Henry WATTERsoN, tile Kentucky star
eyed goddess Of reform, lectured in Spring
field, Ohio, last week. In an interview he
gave out the following:
Harrison and Blaine are working side
by side without antagonism.
Blaine has a Jonah somewhere
I'm Kentucky the Farmers alliance has
entirely petered out, and its national ex-
tinctlon is certain. The farmers, as a class,
when they enter politics, are a monster
without head"
"Blaine's reciprocity put stab into the
breast OF protection equal to Clay's cele-
brated flank movement. The.whole thing
is sure to come to free trade.'
"The whole democratic situation turns
on the action of the state of New York.
Il is distinctly New York fight. If New
York's delegation comes to the national
convention against Cleveland, it would be
suicide to nominate him, and he won't be
nominated. The same if it comes for Hill.
Il 1t comes divided it will go elsewhere.
If we have Cleveland out we can not hope
for New York"

THE Olympia Standard criticises THE
TRIBUNE for telling the truth about a
cheap dramatic company which appeared
at the Olympia theater last Saturday night
and quotes favorable comments about the
same company from the columns OF the
Oregonian, Post-Intelligencer and Dra-
matte Star. Perhaps the chronic favorable
comments are what kept people away from
the theater last Saturday night. They are
growing tired of having a d-for-nothing
play lauded as first-class performance, as
is generally done by the papers mentioned
above and when amusement seekers get to
the theater they frequently find themselves
imposed upon. The TRIBUNE will continue
to criticise fairly, and is not in the least
troubled with the4mercenary remarks Of the
Standard. It is pleasing to know that good
plays are always greetedin Olympia with
better houses than miserable "fakes."

The Typewriter in the Schools.

From the Boston Commonwealth: A
suggestion that the course of instruction
in our public sceools might properly in
clude stenography and the use of the type
writer has brought out the fact-not gen
orally known before-that the city OF
Lynn has already introduced these studies.
In the evening schools of Lynn-as, in
deed, in those of Boston-there have been
classes in shorthand for number of years.
Typewriting has been taught in these
schools for one year, and in the Lynn
English high school for yet longer time.
The results are said to be very encourag-
ing. There would seem to be no reason
why such instruction should not be in
cluded in the course of our higher schools
everywhere.
