The legislature of Michigan, which has
just adjourned, besides passing an Aus
tralian ballot law, also passed reappor-
tIonment bill which the Democrats
claim, will enable them to carry every
congressional district in the state and
elect majority to both houses of the
next legislature. Il also enacted law
requiring Michigan's presidential electors
to be voted for, not on a general ticket,
as is the general custom now, but by
congressional districts. The effect OF
this is intended to give the Democratic
candidate in any event a portion of
Michigan's electoral vote in 1892. 1t re-
mains to be seen, however, whether the
people of Michigan will submit to such
high handed and constituencies action of
minority party to control the state.
The outrage upon the state is worse than
that perpetrated upon Ohio by the tenn
porarily dominant party in that states
legislature.

Your conclusion is far fetched and
fatty contradicted by correlative cir
cumstances. For instance, the first ex-
perimentS to be made in the west will
take place in Texas, and that state is as
hopelessly Democratic as any in the
union. A more plausible reason for
skipping Indiana is that seeing that state
has a scinch on administrative appoint
ments to office, the good secretary con-
cluded to pass around portion of the

more, as to the political feature of the
matter, Uncle Jerry would pattern after

The Picture on the silver Dollar.

From the New York Recorder.
But behind the dollar and the picture
there is history and romance. The
head of the silver dollar represents the
features of a once living, breathing,
beautiful American woman. She was
the beloved of the skilled engraver who
made the design for his couptry's coin.
HIS engraver lovingly traced her fea-
lures; the design was accepted, land she
becomes immortal. This is the simple
heart story the dollar tells.
England gives the effigy of Victoria;
France according TO the mutations OF
politics, has her Louis and her Napoleons;
Germany and Austria have their eagles
and double eagles. America has the
proud, glorious features of the woman
who was adored by the artist who drew
the head for the dollar. 1t tells of peace,
not of war; of devotion and love and
fidelity. Let us cherish it all the more
because of the legend of love behind 1t.

The Cimarron New West says the
patrons of the cheese factory at that
place are realizing about "a cents per
hundred for their milk, counting their
cheese at s cents per pound; that the de-
mand for cheese is greater than the sup
ply, it being sold as soon or before it is
thoroughly cured. We mention this to
call attention to the thousand and one
industries that may be engaged in to
profit by the people of this state. There
is constant demand, at home, for
cheese, butter, eggs, chickens, evapora-
ted and canned fruits and vege-
tables, ETC., and at remunera =
tive prices. And yet thousands
of dollars worth of all these products
are permitted to go to waste every year
for want of enterprise and energy to
take care of and turn them to account.
Americans, and particularly western
people, seem not to comprehend that it
is not so much what is earned but what
is saved that makes person well-to-do.

Saturday indicate that the insurgent

still lying at Acapulco, and liable to re-
main in n state of "innocuous disue-
tude" for some time because of inabili-
ty to procure coal Her officers came
ashore on Friday and attempted to
bamboozle the American vice consul
with n story that they had just received
word that the Itata matter had been
settled, coupled with request that
they be permitted to coal up from the
Pacific mail steamship company's coal
pile, that they might return to Chill at
once. The consul did not bite, his only
response being caution to the guards
at the coal yards. The Esmeralda may
attempt to seize coal, in which event
her position would be similar to that OF
the Itata. Matters are growing inter
esting in view of the situation.

The latest political news concerning
the Democratic gubernatorial contest
now going on in the Empire state is to
the effect that Cleveland is seeking the
gubernatorial nomination. The follow
ers of the ex-president have been much
enraged of late by the assertion that it
would not do to re-nominate Cleveland
for the presidency because he could not
carry his own state. Cleveland himself
keenly feels the criticisms, and while
he has said nothing publicly upon the
subject, yet he has intimated to his
friends that if he could, consistently
with his dignity, show the fallacy of the
reports, he could not hesitate to do so.
He could thus soon demonstrate his
status with the rank and file of the
party in New York. His trip to Buffalo
was the first move. He will now visit
other parts of the state and deliver
tariff reform speeches with the hope of
arousing sufficient enthusiasm to dis
prove the stories of his waning popular
ity If he is nominated and elected
governor of New York then his nomina-
ton for the presidency will follow as IA
matter of course.

keep Saturday for the Sabbath, you
must keep Sunday also, thus conform
ing to the customs and habits of the
people. If you refuse, we will whip
you within an inch of your life for the
first offense, and on the second we will
hang you until you are dead, dead,
dead"
The notice was put in Mr.. Vaughn's
field, and whip four or five feet in
length attached, to lend significance to
it, This is not the spirit which should
actuate the demand for the enactment
and enforcement of Sunday Laws.

The Topeka (Kas) Morning Capital
publishes from the thirty-six Republi-
can members of the Kansas senate an
expression of opinion on the president
ial situation. These interviews show
that the Kansas senate is in favor of
giving Harrison a second term. Six
Senators declare that Blaine is the
strongest man the Republicans could
name, and believe he should be nominal
ed; five would not commit themselves,
and twenty-five said that Harrison had
made good President was entitled to
a second term, and would be renominat-
ed and reelected. These interviews
show that Blaine is as strong as ever in
Kansas, but nearly all of the Senators
are of opinion that Blaine will not be a
candidate. 1t is admitted by all who
were interviewed that with Blaine at
the head of the ticket the campaign
would be more enthusiastic than with
Harrison as the candidate, but a large
number believe Harrison has elements
of strength that Blaine has not, and
that his election would be more certain.
