IN ANE ROT.

One of the physicians of this city is
shocked because the members of the
Press club met one Sunday afternoon
and passed two hours in innocent
pleasure. He rather strongly con-
dennis the practice, irreverently init
mating that il would be more in keep
ing with the carousals of the "bum"
element than with the dignity of the
men who mold public opinion. The
doctor is . member of that honorable
profession which discountenances news
paper advertising as contrary to Its ex-
allied ethics. and yet if any other man
than this censorions doctor were to
pour into the ears of a reporter such
name rot. he would At once be accused
of advertising the fact that he Is both a
bigot and an ass. As o matter of fac,
the social session was attended by every
managing editor in the city, the editor
OF the Workman, and two Detroit
journalists, together with q large ma
lority of the reporters of the city.
There was not an improper word
spoken ror . ligh. and flippsnt song
sung. The session WAS infected
with mirth and the spirit of
royal good fellowship predominated.
The moral, intellectual and physical
pleasure each person present expert
enced was elevating and ennobling.
The session WAS far more clrcumspect.
IN . moral sense, than a Sunday sleigh
ride or attending sick calls at so much
per visit The newspaper men of this
city are vhole-souled, generous fellows
and they rise en- masse TO resent the i'm
putation that they are "bums.' They
work SIX solid days, and well into
itns seventh. every week. and If they
snail elect to spend Sunday afternoon
together in quiet, orderly discussion
and the interchange Of plcasantries, il
will be difficult to prevent it by crying
out Sabbath dissertation"

Yesterday MAS ground-nog day. IL
was the day when. according 10 the lore
or our grandmothers aid the legends
OF our grandiathers the ground hog. or
the woodchuck, or the gopher, or the
black bear. or the badger. or the mug
wump, or some other disreputable AMI
mai emeTges from his winters hiding
place and marches into the clearing.
The tradition further relates that # this
disreputable animal sees his shadow at
this time, he strsightway points for
that hole and doesn't emerge again for
six weeks. During the second time
this specimen of the animal kingdom is
secluded from the world, the inhab-
itants, thereof endure weather that
strikes terror To the heart Of the oldest
inhabltant. If however, this various
animal does not see his shadow. he
dons his linen buster and forthwith
prepares for spring. This is the ldyl as
our ancestors told it. The ground hog
did not see his shadow yesterday. Ii
you have love and confidence and re-
spect for the opinions OF your ancestors
you will prepare for spring.

In looking for the cause of the pres
ent discussion Of the silver question one
is apt to ascribe it TO something en-
tlrsly foreign to the truth. hence the
cry "hsrd times" glance backward
and a review of Intervening events,
without touching upon the merits of
the silver agitation, will correct the
very general error in regard to its
cause. A strinsency in the money
market occurred IN November 1890
Its direct effect was 20 withdraw a
large amount OF gold from the treas
ury aud from the channels of com
mercs in this country. and 20 start =
demand for the metal in all the fer

houses of Europe unStedly clsmored
