monopoly of the nineteenth century,

circulation of $50, to be made up by the
free coinage of silver and gold at 16 to
and the issue of treasury notes; assert
that the discontinuance of the Issuance
of silver and the repletion of the treas
ury bv bond issues is burdensome on

of interest bearing bonds and demone
tization of silver being especially de

eighty question has been stirred up
in the house judiciary committee over
the bill introduced by Representative
Dearmond of Missouri to define the
duties of federal courts, regarding con-

ished for refusal to collect taxes on
assessments under judgments rendered
by federal courts against states, coun-
ties or cities where the laying of such
taxes or assessments shall be contrary
to the laws OF the state as constituted
by the highest courts. The bill has
been favorably reported from the COM
mittee by the democrats, and Represen-
tative wolverton of Pennsylvania, In
a report giving the views of the ma
iority, explains that it is intended to
prevent the federal court from over
riding the laws by compelling a state
officer to violate them. The minority
report Is drawn by Representative
Raw of New York, and signed by Messrs.
Ray, Powers, Stone, Uppergraff and
Child. The report characterizes the
measure as Objectionable and unpatri-
otto. one that strikes a blow at good
government and would deprive the
judicial power of the government OF
the right to enforce its DEGREES and
nullify the purpose for which 1t was
established. 1t is characterized as an
effort to revive the exploded doctrine

to Michigan from the pineries of New
Brunswick and Maine. Having been
trained in the great lumber camps for
which that region was noted, he natur-
ally found himself "driving logs" OF
working in the lumber camps that then
were numerous throughoutthis county
and it is fact that there Is scarcely a
mile of territory on Mill Creek or Black
River on which "Steye' Moore has not
cut or skidded timber.
And there is no kid glove aristocracy
about "Steve". He commenced at the
bottom rung of the ladder and fought
his way toward the top by sturdy, hon

French for State Senator.

Robert f.. French who represents this
district, comprised of 81. Clair county,
is known at his home, Fort Gratiot, as
a thoroughly representative citizen of
integrity and ability. The citizens of
his home village almost to man, have
"a good word to say for "Bob" French,
and there can be no better criterion OF
mans true worth than this.
Mr.. French has proved himself to be
an efficient and painstaking Senator
He was always found at his post, watch
ing the interests of the district
The convention recognized his worth
and ability by giving him the re-nom'
nation unanimously and without any
opposition.
There is no reason why he should
not receive the entire support OF ms
party and friends and we predict hi:
election by an increased majority. Re-
publicans should see that this place or
the ticket is not neglected.

Our friend and neighbor, Will Mason,
has received unanimous re-nomlna-

common remark AMONG the attorneys
and business men who do business in
the Circuit Court and clerk Office, that
there never was time in the history
of our county when the business of the
office was conducted better than now.
The work of the Office has increased
greatly within the past few years, but
Notwithstanding this MIR. Mason has
kept the records of his Office in most
excellent shape, and has also inaugur'
ated many needed reforms in the meth
DDS of caring for and preserving them
In addition, patrons of the Office find
Mr.. Mason an agreeable and obliginG
official, always ready to do duty and
pleased to be able to accommodate
friends and strangers alike.
There is no question but Will Mason
will secure the entire vote of his party
and that of his friends, irrespective OF
party or politics.
