credit for having thrown aside par
tisanship in Difference to the wishes
of the people, as so Enthusiastically
expressed at the last national cleo
ton. This action was all the more
praiseworthy because of the pres
sure brought to bear by ultra Re
publicans who wanted the appoint
ment made by Mr.. Harrison only
because of their desire to prevent
the selection of a Democrat. In
this connection it is but fair to say
that all of President Harrison's judi
icial appointments, with the single
exception of Judge Woods, who
was favored as payment of a
political obligation, have been highly
commendable. He has given to the
Supreme Bench Shiras, Brewer and
Brown, now experimenting the list
by the naming Of Judge Jackson,
The latter, like his predecessor, is a
representative of the south, a clean,
able, broad-minded, liberal man, a
learned lawyer, a distinguished and
fearless Judge. He will bring to
the bench a profound knowledge of
the law, a thorough acquaintance
with the practice, and the fruits Of
long experience. The objections
that have been urged to his appoint
ment only served to emphasize his
peculiar fitness for the place, and
those who have opposed him joined
in lauding his high qualifications.
Judge Jackson has a large circle of
friends in Michigan who appreciate
his sterling worth and are grateful
that the exalted position was so
worthily bestowed. Free Press.

For Regents of State University.

The Democrats of Allegan coun-
ty will again present the name of
Albert Upper for one of the re-
gents of the university to the COM
ing state convention. Mr.. Upper
is eminently fitted for the place,
having classical as well as thor
ough business education. Born in
Westphalia in 1866, and after grad
uating from the jacobson college in
the duchy Of Brunswick in 1871,
he emigrated to this country. Wis.,
ting trends here, he was induced to
remain, and has been a resident ever
since. When accepting a subor-
dinate position in a dry goods
house he began his business career
with twenty dollars previously saw
ed, adding to his wages by giving
French and German lessons, having
at one time over fifty pupils. To-
day Mr.. Upper is proprietor of the
leading dry goods house in the city;
liberal, and identified with every en-
terprise of the town. He is prom
inent in society circles. The X. of
P's., Odd Fellows, and X. o. T. NJ,
have frequently elected him to their
state conventions. To every politi-
cal Office nominated he has been
elected, and is at present school in
spector and member of the village
council. Two years ago his name
was presented and would have been
nominated, but for Judge Champ
Inns nomination being from the
same district. Mr.. Upper is a
strong card in this section; known
and respected by all parties and
will surely, if nominated, bring AL

umn.-Allegan Democrat, Feb. 8.

Judge Martin.

John Martin, the new Senator
from Kansas, is a native of Tennes-
see. He made his debut in LIES
arena sixty years ago, studied law
in Lebanon, Tenn, and in 1855 ac-
companied Rush Gilmore, United
States District Judge, to Kansas,
where he has since resided, most of
the time at Topeka. He was clerk
of the territorial Legislature which
met in Shawnee county in 1857,
Assistant United States Attorney in
1858, reporter of the Legislature in
1872 and Judge of the District
Court Of Shawnee county in 1883.
He has several times been chair
man of the Democratic central
committee and delegate to the
national Democratic convention.
He was the Democratic nominee for
Governor in 1876 and again in 1882,
but declined the latter nomination
on account of the platform adopt
ed. He was opposed to prohibition,
but wanted a plank inserted favor
ing the enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law. In 1883 the Democrats
again selected him as their standard
bearer in the Gubernatorial contest,
but he was defeated. Since 1868
Judge Martin had been very prom
inent in the Democratic party in
Kansas.
Senator German, of Maryland,
declares that the election of Judge
Martin gives the Democrats control
of the Senate, even if the Republi-
cans should carry all of the other
states i'm which contests are pend
ing. At present there are thirty
nine Democrats in the Senate.
New York, California and Wiscon-
sin, having elected Democrats, in
crease the number to forty-three.
1t is said Senator Kyle will surely
vote with the Democrats to organ
ize the Senate, which will give
them a total Of forty-four. Vice
President Stevenson will have the
casting vote, even if Wyoming,
Montana and Nebraska should re-
turn Republicans Senators. But
Senator German does not concede
all Of these states to the Republic
cans,--Ex,

Telegraphing Without a Wire.

Among the recent developments
of electricity, attention should be
carefully given to series of
experiments of very interesting
character which have been carried
out by Mr.. Preece, the chief en-.
gineer and electrician to the English
Postoffice Department. The site for
the trials was at Lavernock, near
Cardiff, and the problem to be solved
was to make telegraphic commune
cation to the Island of Flat Holme,
in the Bristol Channel, three miles
distant, without having any direct
communication by wire between
the two stations. The principle of
the method may be very simply
stated. The wire on shore was
about a mile long, and the wire on
the island was parallel to the shore
line and about half as long. Pow
erful currents were transmitted
through the wire Oh shore. There
was no connection between this and
the wire on the island, save such as
was provided through earth, air,
water and the all-prevading ether.
Through this last an inductive in
fuence is conveyed by which the
shore current is enabled to produce
a feeble sympathetic current in the
parallel wire three miles away. 1t
seems quite possible that this inter-
esting result is destined to have i'm
portant practical bearings. The
inductive action will take place not
withstanding the interposition of
obstacles opaque to light. A thick
fog does not, it seems, offer any
hinderance to the transmission of
the electrical infence, and it may
well be that some development of
the present experiment will lead to
the perfection of appliances which
will be of profound impo rtance to
navigation.-Ex.

Official Count of the Presidential Votes

A ceremony that was of great in
terest to Democrats all over the
country took place at Washington,
on the Sth. 1t was the counting
of the votes cast by the Presidential
Electors, and the Richardson, by
the two houses of Congress, that
Grover Cleveland had been elected
President of the United States, and
Adlai e. Stevenson, Vice-President.
The Senate and House of Rep
resentatives assembled in joint con-
vention in the hall of the latter,
with the present Vice-President pre-
siding. The returns of the presi-
Dental votes from the various states
were opened and publicly read, and
the result made known, as follows:
For President, Grover Cleveland,
PIT; Benjamin Harrison, 145; Jas.
b. Weaver, %. For Vice-President,
Adlai, K. Stevenson, 277; White
law Reid, 145; James G. Field, %.
The total vote was 444, and 223
votes were necessary to elect Presi-
dent and Vice-President. The
Democratic candidates received 81
more votes than were required.
Although the election took place
on the 9Th of last November, yet,
owing to the peculiar and antiquat-
ed system Of electing a President
and Vice-President in use in this
country, the question was not legal
ly decided until the eighth of the
present month. There was no law
to compel an elector to vote for
Cleveland, Harrison or Weaver.
Each elector could have voted, as
far as law is concerned, for any per-
son he desired.
1t is to be hoped that it will not
be many years before the antiquat-
ed electoral system is abolished, and
the President and Vice-President
elected by the direct vote of the
peOple.

The Hawaii Question.

About 1000 miles from San Fran
cisco is a group of islands in the
Pacific Ocean. They were once
known as the Sandwich Islands,
but now as the Hawaii Islands.
Their principal product is sugar, of
which about 100000, 900 pounds are
made yearly. The market for the
sugar is in this country, and Amer
leans control the business. Before
raw sugar was made free the bust
ness was very profitable, as the
Hawaii sugar was entered free and
thus had an advantage over other
foreign sugars of "a cents per
pound.
Recently the Queen of Hawaii
issued PRONUNCIATION depriving
foreigners of the right of franchise.
A revolution ensued, the foreigners
took possession of the government
and sent deputation to this coun-
try, asking to have the islands an
nexed to the United States. Since
the revolution a force of armed
men were landed from the U. S.
war steamer Boston, and the Amer
lean flag was hoisted above the
government building.
Most of the foreigners are Amer
leans, and it appears the sugar ques-
ton is at the bottom of the revolu-
ton. IF this country annexes the
islands, then, under the present
tariff law, the sugar growers of
Hawaii will get the sugar bonus
provided by the Mckinley tariff bill,
and of course sugar growing would
be again immensely profitable for
the American spectators in Hawaii.
The islands contain about 5000
square miles, and the population is
about 10000, of which 1874 are
Americans. The value of the sugar
estates in 1890 is placed at 1913, 347,-
800, of which Americans owned
$24, 735,610. The debt of the is
lands is 100000, and if this coun-
ty should annex them, the debt
will have to be paid by America,
and will constitute the purchase
price. The imports in 1890
amounted to nearly 100000,
most of which came from this coun-
try. Since the passage of the Nc
Kinley tariff law the exports have
decreased about so per cent.

Weadock on Silver.

Congressman Il. A. Il. Weadock
has been interviewed on the subject
of silver, and expresses his position
as follows:
1.-THE law commonly known as
the Sherman act authorized the
Secretary of the Treasury to pur-
chase silver at the market price in
gold to the extent of $500, 900
ounces per month. The Secretary
had discretion as to the amount
under that which he might pur-
chase, but this discretion he has not
exercised, but has bought silver to
outside limit each month. We
have been buying silver as a COM
modify since that law went into eff
feet. The result is the restoration
of silver to it's proper place as
money has been delayed, silver has
been deprecated by the discrimina-
ton against it, gold has appreciat-
ed, and the business interests of the
country have been alarmed by the
accumulation of silver bullion, the
certificates for which payable in
coin means payment in gold. No
wonder the Democratic platform
denounces the Sherman law as a
'cowardly makeshift.' | want to
see the silver bullion now in the
treasury coined into standard silver
dollars, and | will vote to repeal the
Sherman law as a bar to the restora-
ton of silver to it's rightful place
in the currency of the country. l
believe in gold, silver and paper
good as either, issued by the general
government in sufficient volume for
the legitimate demands of trade"

average age Of the members is about 33
years. This is undoubtedly one great
reason for its low rate OF mortality and
correspondingly low cost for death bene-
fits, and Is one OF its valuable features,
one that strongly recommends 1t to all
classes.
Its equitable plan, careful and conser-
vative methods, immediate payment OF all
just claims. enterprising, yet economical
management, and the zeal and ability dis
played by Its executive officers, have won
for 1t the commanding place 1t occupies
to-day In the estimation OF all who have
become acquainted with its work That
1t Is destined in the near future to become
the leading beneficiary order of the coun-
try there seems little doubt.
