creasing more rapidly in proportion to

cannot too well be kept in mind during
the next few months. for we shall un-
doubtedly hear much before November
Of the danger Of the burial Of white civ.

of negro population. This bugaboo will
be used to the utmost as an excuse for
the deviltry by which the colored vote
is suppressed and millions of native

to understand that this sort Of talk is
nearly all fraudulent and empty bun.

He is man who, though prosperous
under protective tariff, works and

half the Southern States) in suppressing
the votes Of Southern Republicans, who
upholds Gn three-quarters of all the
States and every territory sixty-five
cent dollar, who cries "haltw to pro-
gress, growls at federal expenditure ex-
cept by Democrats, calls for cessa-
ton of pensions to Union veterans, and
lags seventy years behind his time.
What is Republican?
A man who stands by the tariff as it
has stood by him, who believes in free

THE REPUBLICAN PRESS.

Although the Republican party wor
four years ago and won easily, it wa
demonstrated in the campaign that tn,
Republican press had been permitted
in the large cities of the East to occupy
secondary position to the Democratic
At that time the newspapers of largest
circulation in all the leading cities ol
the East, except Philadelphia, were
Democratic, and in few places there
was almost total lack of the saving
gospel in journalism.
The party enters the present campaign
in this respect in much better condition.
Taking New England first, New Hamp.
shire has the newly founded Republican
Of Nashua, an excellent paper, perhaps
already the best in the State. Western
Massachusetts, has the new morning
Springfield Union, which is making the
Mugwump Republican feel very blue.
Boston has, in addition to its old favor
ties, the new Ne,cs, a snappy one cent
paper. Connecticut has the Evening
Leader, published in New Haven, bright
and able. Most important OF all, the
Republicans of RHODE ISLAND have an
organ and defender in the PROVIDENCE
NEWS, where one year ago the word of
political truth was not spoken.
In New York, where the need of
newspaper help was desperate, the stu
alton has also improved. No new Dem
ocratic paper has been founded since
1888. The Republican Tribune and
Press have grown and prospered faster
than any of their Democratic rivals.
The Recorder, a new paper, has already
achieved marked success. Most sig
nificant of all, the Advertiser, founded
as Democratic paper by a Democrat,
has gone over to Harrison and Reid be-
cause its owner, Col. Cockerill, can't stand
Cleveland and free trade. This last is
an actual loss to the Democrats and
gain to the Republicans of two dailies.
The old Commercial Advertiser went to
the dogs, aud to the Mugwumps, after
Hugh Hastings death. Now Cockerill
has it. The Morning Advertiser was
John Kelly's Star in the old days, and
after many changes it now turns up
as bright Republican daily.
The increased number, force and pros
perity of the Republican press is not the
only favorable feature Of this campaign,
but it is favorable feature and one not
to be forgotten.

W. 9. LINTON. liam Penn, and
who landed in Philadelphia Nov. 8, 1902.
The boyhood Of William s. was passed
in the Saginaw valley. His educational
advantages were confined to the city
schools. While yet in his teens he began
life as clerk in q general store. His
father having extended his numbering
operations to Farwell, young Linton
was placed in charge Of the large saw
mill there. Mr.. Linton next entered the
employ Of the late Thomas Nester, and
engaged in shipping lumber from Alger,
Bay county. While at Alger he held his
first political position, being twice unani-
mously elected to the Office of super
visor, thus commencing when twenty
two years Of age political career that
has been uniformly successful. In 1879
he returned to Saginaw and entered into
the partnership known under the title of
Aaron Linton b Sons, lumber manufac-
turers.
In 1883 he was elected alderman Of
the Seventh ward and was the youngest
alderman on the list. Then in 1885 he
was chosen as representative to the leg
islature, being the only successful can
didate upon the Republican ticket in the
city at that election. He performed
good service there, and during the
rather. exciting session Of the legislature
his record was most honorable one.
Mr.. Linton's political party fully recog-
nizes his ability, and the Republican
convention of 1890 gave him the nomi-
nation for lieutenant governor. The
Democratic success of that fall of course
involved the defeat Of the Republican
state candidates, but Mr.. Linton had the
honor of running many thousands Of
votes ahead of his ticket.
Mr.. Linton was elected mayor Of con-
solidated Saginaw in the spring Of 1892.
This in city where the Democratic
party for years has rolled up great
majorities is splendid testimonial of
the esteem in which he is held as a man
and a citizen.

HOMESTEAD WAGES.

The New York Tribune has performed
an inestimable service to its country and
its party in procuring and tabulating
the wages of the Homestead workers
and the prices paid by them for the
necessities of life. The investigation
was made by staff correspondent, was
very thorough, and we do not think its
accuracy will be questioned.

slightly different form. In every case the

TAN AND HIS ENEMIES.

Every now and then man is sharply re-
minded by nature that his fancied domin-
ion over all things terrestrial is feeble and
illusoTy. His subdual of the living things
of earth certainly does not apply in marked
degree 10 the insect world-a world of
myrads of forms very imperfectly cata-
lOgued. Some six or seven thousand new
species are discovered year by year, and the
entomologist NAV make his name famous
in classification for centuries to come, a
naturalists estimate there are 10000, 600 of
species on the globe. 1t Is sometimes
question whether man was designed for
first place on earth or insects. We 80 man

man. We have bees and the slk-forming
moth, the eochipeal insect, and the insect
which gives US sealing-wax. Insects are
also indispensable fertilizers of plants, and
from thlS point Of view nothing Is more
remarkable than the fact that the Smyrna
fig cannot be cultivated In California with
out the presence of the right kind of bee TO
officiate in fertilization. But the utility of
gTasshoppers and locusts 10 man Is not

OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS.

One of the most agreeable passages In
President Harrison's message is the one
which refers to Cur neighbors of Central
and South America. The President said:

sister republics OF South and Central America
that the United States Government and its peo-
pie have only the most friendly disposition
