OwOssO. FRIDAY. NAY s, 1892.

That knife sent by the Cattaraugus
Cutlery Company of Little Valley, N. Y. to
Governor Mckinley as a sample of the
work of Mckinley industry will, we are
sure, serve the ilIustrious champion of Pro
lection well in cutting open Free-Trade false
hoods.
Dr. H. S. Humphrey, the noted specialist,
was at the Merell Hous in OwOssO, Friday
April ooh, and the parlors of that hotel
were crowded with persons who came for
consultation and treatment. The next
visit will be the 27th of May, at the Merell
Ii ouse.

Gratiot Journal:-While the Journal is for
the candidates of the republican party, pro-
vided they are good. efficient and honest
men, it nevertheless believes the republicans
of Michigan will make q great mistake if
they nominate Detroit man for Governor.
On two occasions the republicans of Michi-
gan have gone down to defeat when more
judicious nominations might have saved
them. We have nothing to offer against
Mr.. Pingree more than this: He is not the
man to lead republicans back to power. We
believe that John II. Rich is. While Mr..
Rich is not man who blows his own horn
so persistently as some, yet to a large class
of people he would be all the more accept
able for that Let the friends of Mr.. Rich
rally to his support, and head off any move
ment to run Pingree in with a whoop as
Turner was doomed two years ago. Mayor
Pingree would be good candidate for con-
gress and could probably be elected, but Re
should not enter the gubernatorial race.
The May number of the Forum is note
worthy because of the unusual variety Of its
contents. 1t has general discussion of the
late silver craze and the present danger, by
Hon. Michael ID. Harter, of Ohio who |
writes on 1.-THE Blight of Our Commerce"
and by Senator Villas, of Wisconsin, and Mr.. |
j. G. Hempehill, editor of the Charleston
''News and Courier" offers, apropos of this
timely subject a suggestive paper on 1.-The
Loss of Southern Statemanship." Mr.. 5. G.
Il. Dodd, solicitor of the Standard Oil Trust
has an article on ''Ten years of the Stand |
ard Oil Trust" i'm which he makes a state
ment of the advantages which he claim the
trust has afforded both to its owners
and especially to the consumers of
petroleum and its products. President
Timothy Dwight writes a thoughtful article
on 1.-THE True Purpose of the Higher Educa-
tion," and Mr.. ID. r. Wikie, general man
ager of the Imperial Bank of Canada, con-
tributes as interesting discussion as any
that has been published perhaps on the sub
ject of banking systems, wherein he explains
the elasticity of the Canadian system.
