How to Prevent Lynching.

Minneapolis Tribune: The court
custom which accepts as a juror an
ignoramus, dead-beat, an ire
sponsible and unknown profession
al loafer, representative, perhaps,
of the criminal class, or any litter
ate blockhead, in place of an intel
ligent and responsible juror who has
read the papers and thereby has
heard something about the case, is
responsible for no small proportion
of the numerous lynching: A
man who has not intelligence
enough in this last decade of the
nineteenth century to read the
newspapers, is not intelligent
enough to act upon jury. A jury
made up of men who have never
heard of the case they are about to
try, is in nine cases out Of ten COM
posed of men, portion of whom
are unfit intellectually or otherwise

The senate immigration committee
has discovered by the examination
of witnesses that the present law
does not prevent the importation of
contract labor; nor of laborers who
stay here long enough to accumu-
late little money, which they re-
turn to Europe and especially to
Italy, tospend, only to emigrate again
when their funds run out. They
pay head money to secure jobs on
the streets of New York and prob
ably other cities. To prevent a
few thousands of Chinese from COM
ing and living here congress pass ed
a law that threatened to disrupt
the friendly relations of the two
countries; while a much severer
competition is allowed to exist year
after year with scarcely barrier
raised. The European immigrant
votes even when he lives in Europe
half his time. The Chinaman does
not.--Detroit Journal.

In speaking of the condition OF
the markets, the Chicago Timber
man thus sums up the situation,
whic his by no means discouraging
Notwithstanding the financial
stringency the trade conditions OF
the country as a whole are by no
means unfavorable. While certain
branches of industry are depressed
for the time being, the volume OF
trade in most lines continues fair
and with easier money the outlook
for a good seasons trade is still
bright. The weather conditions
for growing crops the past week
were generally favorable and gave
good ground for the belief that the
farming community will be in po-
sition to purchase largely later on.
Demand just at present for lumber
is dull in most markets but the con-
fidence that business will be brisk
before the season is over is so wide
spread that prices are everywhere
well maintained. In respect to the
general situation it may be said
that while conservative feeling as
to purchases and sales has developed
it has not proceeded to the extent
of checking trade in very marked
degree,
Reports from manufacturing
points in Michigan, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin are far from discourage
ing. Demand may not be so urgent
as some time since but low stocks
and the condition of green timber
in pile is such that prices show no
signs of weakness but on the con-
trary the feeling is strong and the
belief that drop in prices will not
be necessary is widespread. As a
rule lumbermen of this section are
situated in such shape financially
that they are not forced to sell and
can hold their product during a
temporary dizziness without resort
ing to price cutting in order to
move stocks.

Defense of the Legislature.

Last week the Democrat asked it's
readers to point out off-hand half a
dozen acts of the legislature which
were wholly commendable and cal
culated to benefit the state. After
thinking the matter over several
days the Detroit Tribune is able to
mention five laws which, it thinks,
comes within the requirements.
These are, in the order given by
the Tribune: The act comforting
municipal suffrage on women; the
law providing for good roads; the
university tax law the act looking
to the establishment of grade cross
ings; and the inheritance tax law.
Granting that these are all good
laws, the record of commendable
legislation is very light for body
which made so many pretensions,
and which increased the states ex-
penses by nearly a million of dol
lars. Grand Rapids Democrat.

Repeal the Sherman Law.

Its an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, said Maj. H. H. Norrington, of
West Bay City, at the Russell
House. 1.-THE Saginaw fire has
brought 100000 of insurance
money into the valley, and this
money has relieved the banks won
derfully. The strain of the tight
market has been reduced and bus
mess has been stimulated. West
Bad City businessmen have just
sold 100000 feet of lumber
to eastern parties for which they
received spot cash. Had they not
been in a position to dictate terms
because of the more plentiful sup
ply of money they could not have
obtained the cash.
81 am living in hopes that a
special session of Congress will be
called to repeal the Sherman law,
which is the undoubted cause of the
present scarcity of money. The
law was passed to catch the votes
of the free silver states for the Re
publican party. 1t cannot be abol-
ished any too soon for the benefit
of the country. But wish this
country had some good system of
banking. When bank with an
authorized capital of $4,000 wishes
to purchase government bonds to

per cent of the amount. Thus, for

1--WE are overloaded with silver.
Our merchants have been importing
heavily and paying for what they
get in gold. Pretty soon the
money will be coming back, but
where we gave them gold they will
give us silver, and a clear gain of
forty cents on the dollar will be
theirs. England has silver, you
know--it comes to them from the
mines of Mexico and South Ameri-
ca, which are richer, even, than our
own. And it is England, too,
which regulates the price of silver
for the entire world, just as it regu-
lates the price of wheat. The gain
is all hers OH both articles. v Free

week the city girl was enjoying the
longed-for country surroundings,
while her hostess was equally happy
in the prospect of getting caught
up" in her work and having some
rest. The experiment proved
perfect success; and thus was sown
the germ which has grown into the
Helping Hand Visitors Club, a
unique organization, formed on the
plan carried out in the first expert
ment, through which those who
have homes in the country and who
would like to receive Il Helping
Hand Visitor for sojourn of any
specified length can be put into
communication with respectable
self-supporting women IN Cities

who, though anxious to spend a
short vacation in the country, cannot

board.

would be glad to receive these young
women into their homes on the
condition that in return for board
and lodging they would render some
service in sewing or homework, leav-
ing themselves, of course, meduring
the day to enjoy the pleasures of
walks, drives, or other recreations.

The Republican press is just now

concern, fearing that President
Cleveland may probably be renom-

a long way in advance,
which would indicate that, at this
early day they would consider his
reelection certain.
