announced by the management with Sydney
Grundy'S character comedy, "a Pair of Spec

McKinley Wages.

Professor Bemis, of Chicago, an
authority on statistics, has been
giving his attention to the bitumin-
Gus coal miner. He discovers that
the average wages of the 24,323
miners of Illinois were only $6.87 a
week; of the 1851 Ohio miners,
SOTO; Of the $3.50 bituminous
miners of Pennsylvania, $7.55, and
of the 10000 anthracite men, 1921.
The report of 1892 of the Ohio bu-
reau Of labor statistics confirms
this, for it gives the average weekly
earnings in 1892, in that state, as
SOFT. In most states wages aver
age about $2 a day, when the men
have work, but this is usually not
over 200 days in the year.
1t will be remembered that soft
coal is protected to the extent of rs
cents per ton, and that mine owners
oppose the lower duty of the Will
son bill on the ground that it will
decrease wages. What better ev-
idence is needed to prove the pro-
tention is fraud on the working
men?

The plan of electing United
States Senators by a popular vote
has been advocated in the past, and
during recent months has attracted
the attention Of all thinking men
of both parties. This agitation is
producing good results, and the
movement is constantly gaining
friends among those who love pure
government, and are not in favor of
hosting into place, men whose only
recommendations are founded on
the size of their "bar'l", and the
liberality with which its contents is
distributed. Why, we ask, has
Michigan cut such sorry figure in
the Senate for nearly a decadeP
The question is easily answered in
one word, money. Can Michigan
boast of Senator in that time who
was not millionaire, and is there
one that brought credit to the state
in any way? Emphatically, no.
Since the days of Cass and Chand-
Ter, brain has been a secondary con-
sideration in the qualification, and
if the ways and means with which
some of them have attained their
ends could have been held up to the
light, bribery, perjury and purchased
votes would be found to cut very
important figure in many cases. Nc
man of common intelligence, no
matter to what party he may be-
long, can but agree with the Press
in its behalf that the right way
and the only way is to elect these
officials by popular vote. Itwould
effectually squelch much that is
rotten in politics, a rottenness
that extends even to county and
city affairs. We hope the subject
will be agitated until it becomes a
law.--Mt. Clemens Press.

A Wise Change.

A number of the fraternal lodges
of this city have agreed on a change
in the manner of conducting the
funerals Of deceased members, that
deserves the most hearty common
dation of the people. 1t has long
been evident that the exposure Of
the living to inclement wintry
weather, by standing bareheaded at
the grave, was the cause of much
illness, and it was also considered
entirely unnecessary or wise to have
the funeral rituals of several So
cieties made use of, when the de-
ceased was a member of two or
more societies.
Alpena lodge, l. Q. o. F., took
hold Of the reform and appointed a
committee to meet with committees
from other lodges, to see what ar
rangements could be made. The
committees met Friday evening,
and the result is that Alpena and
Myrtle lodges, /. o. o. F.; Alpena,
Thunder Bay, Granite, Lehndorff,
and Champlain tents, X. 0. I. M;
Court Alpena, l. 0. F., and A. p. A.
lodges agreed to the following sem
sible and humane resolutions:
1. That at the death of member be-
longing to two or more societies using a
funeral ceremony, only one society shall

The Richardson Will Case.

The celebrated law suit in regard
to the division of money among the
heirs of the late Charles w. Rich
ardson has recently been decided
by the Supreme Court. Mr.. Rich
ardson, at his death, left property
estimated to be worth 100000,
and willed it all to his wife. A con-
test was made by his brothers and
relatives, and was settled, as far as
Mr.. Richardson's widow was con-
cerned, by her paying $125,000 to
the claimants, to be divided among
them.
The suit grew out of the division
of the 1925, 1000 among the various
claimants. 1t was charged that
wrong representations were made to
some of those interested, in regard
to the amount Mrs. Richardson had
given to be divided among the
claimants, and some of them had
been induced to accept smaller sums
than was rightfully due them.
They began suit, and the Su-
preme Court rendered decision to
the effect that $50, 900 with interest
since September 1st, 1886, should
be paid the plaintiffs, and that
George w. Moore, n lawyer of De-
troit, Charles w. Richardson, Eliza
beth Richardson, Jane Nye, Ben
jamin F. Starbird and Judge r. j.
Kelley were ordered to refund the
above amount. Donald McRae and
Charles b. Greedy, who were the
executors of George Richardson,
were made liable for $4,000 Of the
sum awarded, with interest from
January LIST, 1887, which sum had
been in their possession, and which
had been paid to some of the claim
ants.
Messrs. Moore, Kelley, McRae
and Greedy are not charged with
appropriating the money to their
own individual use, but that it was
paid to the wrong persons, and
they have legal authority to collect
back the amount from those it was
paid to.
The case has been before the Cir
cult and Supreme Courts for several
years.

When the Mckinley bill took eff
feet wheat was worth upwards of q
dollar a bushel, but our Republican
friends and the father of the Nc
Kinley bill, ATTEMPTED to feed the
farmer vote with chaff, and put a
tariff tax on wheat, Of 25 cents per
bushel. Of course the United
States does not import wheat, so a
tariff would not benefit. We ex-
port our surplus crop and must take
the price ruling in the foreign mar
ket, and as we have allowed Nc
to build high tariff wall
around our country, to keep the
foreigner out, we have allowed that
wall to be erected so high that the
foreigner don't want to climb it
in order to get our wheat, and so we
must keep it or sell it at Is cents a
bushel, in home market.

planters standpoint, and they with
downtrodden labor and Liverpool
for a market, are now, as it seems
to me, sacrificing every northern
interest out of revenge" Tariff
for revenue only is yet the cry.
They, however, want the duties put
on sugar and rice for that revenue
and high enough to give them all
the protection they need, and then
let the northern farmer and laborer
pay the tax" This is good Repub-
lican authority for the Democratic
contention that the foreigner does
not pay the tax. Mr.. Moon rides
the same saddle used by Republican
Congressman since the days of the
war, appealing to sectional prejudice
but he can be forgiven all that for
the admission made that the for
eigner does not pay the tariff tax

The Missouri democrats in their
state convention recently warmly
endorsed the administration of Pres
ident Cleveland in these words:
"We commend the patriotism,
integrity, ability and courage of
Grover Cleveland, and applaud his
action in promptly approving the re-
peal of the Federal election law,
his earnest efforts in behalf of tar
if reform, the purity, economy and
vigor of his administration"
They also demand the restoration
Of bimetalism as it was prior to
to 1878 and the maintenance of
both gold and silver in circulation.
Even BANDS presence and persua-
sion did not effect an Endorsement
of absolute free coinage of silver.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be nom
irritating. Nothing satisfactory can be
accomplished with douches, snuffs, pow
ders or astringents, because they are ir-
ritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces and should be abandoned
as worse than failures. A multitude Of
persons who have for years borne all the
worry and pain that catarrh can inflict,
testify to radical and permanent cures
wrought by Ely's Cream Balm. Your

An exchange says: "The num-
Der of black sheep in the Republi-
can flock at Lansing this year was
the largest ever known at one time
in the history of the state, but it
would be unfair, probably to attri-
butte it to the high tariff on wool,
though dishonesty breeds dishonesty
as a summer sea and swamp breed
