A Petition TO the Senate From Members

of the w. c. I. U.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE entire time
OF the senate was consumed in the discus
sion of the house bill compelling the Rock
Island railroad company to stop its trains
nj tho new towns of Enid and Round
Pond, Indian territory. The measure is
especially championed by Berry OF Ar
kansas and is proving subject Of great
attention, as some democratic senators
see in the proposed exercise of congress
sional power an usurpation of rights. No
action was reached on the bill. but vote
will probably be taken tomorrow. Palmer
favored the bill. Martin opposed il as a
violation of democratic doctrines. Allen,
PETER and Call spoke in favor OF the bill.
Frye said the statement has been pub
lshed that the w. c. L. L. had petiticned
congress TO increase the tax on whiskey.
The fact was a petition purporting TO
come from that body had been presented
to tho house committee Of ways and
means. The petitions had been Inyesti-
gated and il was found they were fraud

from which they purported TO come. Frye
then presented a remonstrance from the

charge of Dircciums half-sisler and

tapis, says tine san Francisco Chronicle,
that John Kelly will handle Directum, al
though nothing definite has yet been ar
ranged between the principals.
A man who recently came down from
Dublin says that the black stallion is as
sound as new dollar. HIS feet are per-
feet. and there Is not plmple to be found

a good deal since last year, and is now q

WAsHINGToN. Feb. 1.-The sober Sec
ond judgment of both parties 10 the Ben-
ring sea arbitration discloses the fact that
an agreement was reached by the arbltra-
tors not entirely satisfactory 10 either the
United States or Great Britain. Il ap-
pears, however. that the dissatisfaction is
based rather upon matters OF detail than
upon any objection 10 the bread principles
upon which arbitration Is based. For
months past there has been much cores
pondence and many interviews between
Secretary Gresham. Sir Julian paunceioie
and Minister Bayard with view TO adj
justment. One OF the ilaws, Gresham
said, they have found, Is the faiiure.to pro-
vide penalties for an intractiou OF the
provisions, and as II would little avail to
capture pelagic sealing vessels, only 10
have them turned loose again upon the
seal herds as soon as the cases were
brought before the courts. The secretary
is trying to have this defect checked. The
United States is able to punish sealers
brought before its courts, but the Cana
dian law is detective. and thus an inter-
national agreement is desirable. Tho
Canadians have discovered that rigid
enforcement OF the articles Of agreement
would destroy their sea! fishing industry,

And let the victory be sweeping
one. Let us have such Republican
victory in Michigan and in Van Buren,
county on the sixth day of November
that men will remember it for all time.
OF course we are going To succeed; we
are sure to carry everything; there is
no possible doubt about that. But we
want to carry the election big" We
want To make q record this fall that
shall stand without parallel anywhere
and for precedent everywhere. Mich
igan should give Republican plurality
that shall discount Maine by long odds.
And Van Buren,! We boast of being the
banner Republican county; let us show
our mettle. Let us so far outstrip all
other counties in the state in our Re-
publican vote that hereafter there shall
no longer be anywhere any question as
to whom by right may stand in the van
of the Republican vanguard of Mich
igan. Political enthusiasm is a great
thing, but discipline, organization, n,ust
go with it to insure the proper results
In political campaign as in military,
nothing should be left to chance, moth
ing to the chance efforts of good-natur-
ed, enthusiastic, Republican citizens
What is everybody's duty is nobody's
duty, and If so left, the business will
not be done. We have party organ
ization national, state, county, town
ship. Eliminating the first, let us come
down To the two latter and urge that
they organize! The people are all right.
1t is only necessary that they be all got
to the polls = that we secure in this
county every available Republican vote
We do not IN the least intend to convey
the impression that our county commit
tee is not active in its duties, but we
wish to awake, not only them, but all
Republicans, 10 sense Of the impcr-
tance of organizing noso for the rest of
the campaign in every school district in
the county Let every Republican voter
be known, and let certain ones in every
school district have it in hand to see
that every one of them gets to the polls.
This can only be accomplished by or
ganizing to that effect. Ii left to itself
it will not be done and many votes will
be lost.
The Republican party has high pur
poses i'm view. Its objects and methods
are patriotic and pure. Its arguments
are the facts of experience; and to COM
prehend all, there should be compact,
minute and vigorous organization.

Then and Now.

There is nothing like the facts which
come to people i'm the way of their daily
experience TO teach them the right or
wrong of political theories.
There are men who believe that free
trade would be an advantage to this
country; who thought and argued that
the abrogation of duties would result
in better prices and better times. There
are farmers in this county who said, i'm
the writer's hearing, that the removal
of the duty on wool would enhance its
price. Ii was necessary that these men
should have the teaching of experience
to bring them to their senses; and this
they have got. As illustrative of this
change, whether for better or worse,
that has come about in the short space
of time since the last general election, n
certain Porter farmer sold forty sheep
TO Jim McKane for S4.00 per head
Sl60. Last week he sold the same mum
Der to Mr.. Jones of Marcellus, equally
as good sheep, for $3.50 per head-S60.
One hundred dollars loss in this single
transaction TO be charged up to De-
