A Costly Overthrow.

The democracy of the first district passed
this among other resolutions:
Resolved, That we congratulate the
country on the overthrow of McKinleyism
by the legislation of the last democratic con-
gress and the consequent large reduction Of
taxation on and price of the necessarles Of
life.
What irony! Reduction of taxation!
The man who goes to buy pound Of
sugar even, and has to pay seven cents for
it when he formerly paid but FIVE, under
stands the gall of that resolution.
Then, again, what is the democratic re-
cord for the past two years? Here it is:
The bonded debt of the nation has been
increased 1850, 900, 900!
900, 0OOl
For the year 1898 alone there was a de-
felt of $74. 10000 And it has kept in
creasing all this year.
That is the record the democratic party
has to 60 to the people on.
Reciprocity with other nations has been
destroyed.
In order to keep within sight of the ex-
penditures an income tax, an old war meas
ure, has been re-adopted.
The sugar trust has been voted $4,000
600 by congress.
Nearly every old union soldier or sailor
in the service of the departments at Wash.
ington, especially the pension department,
has been discharged and confederate put
In his place.
Hoke Smith brags that the northern dis
abled soldiers and the widows and other de-
pendents have been robbed of 1000, 900
since he took hold of the pension depart
ment.
The reductions in the values of property
since Mr.. Cleveland took the presidency in
March, 1898, is placed by the commercial
agencies at $4,000, 000,0 900. Just think of
it, my democratic friend, and then vote &C
cording to your own good Judgment of
what is for the best interests of this nation.
Does the above record warrant man in
voting for the continuation in power Of the
party that has brought such widespread
destruction to the business interests ,of the
country?--Ann Arbor Courier.

Never were the prospects better for a
sweeping republican victory in this county
igan republicans from rolling up the great
est majority for years, viz, a failure to get
the voters out. The republicans of Shia-
wassee county seem to be fOrewarned on
this point and if the proper steps are taken
to organize we shall cast the usual vote and
roll up such majority that its effects will
be felt in many future campaigns. THE
TINES believes most of the republicans are
thoroughly wide awake, and determined to
do their share of the work in electing re-
publican congressman and a republican
legislature, ensuring the election of two re-
publican U. S. Senators.

of all cases of consumption can, if taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-
ally in use for its treatment as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emissions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like bdIlidfiyes.
Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that in all Its
earlier stages, consumption is a durable
disease. Not every case, but large per-
cenfags Of cdses, and we believe, fully q8
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to US as cured by Golden Med
ica1 Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs Of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and Kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.

summer the stems grow rapidly, branching
in all directions, and in place of leaves,
bear spines, one-fourth to one-half an inch
long. At the base of each cluster of spines
is a soft, papery flower about one-eight of
an inch in diameter, ripening single, small
seed. The home of this plant is in eastern
reputation in Russian wheat fields. 1t was
introduced into South Dakota about seven
teen years ago, and at present is spreading
rapidly in half dozen neighboring states.
This pest flourishes best on high land, but
will make itself at home in all sorts of soil.
fOurishing best in dry seasons when grow
ing crops cannot crowd IL out. Spring plow
ing is favorable to the growth of the Russian
thistle, because it spends part of July and
August in getting established, for Towering
and seeding. Sheep are said to eat this
plant untili it becomes course and woody,
Flowing in August and earlv September,
before the plant rlpens its seed will tend to
check it. The large harbors on the east
shore of Lake Michigan will be the first
points to be watched in attempts made to
prevent the landing of this pest. A knowl-
edge of the enemy and of the best means of
lighting it must be made known at once.

Duane G. Cooper can always be found at

One noticeable feature of the election re-

We have received form the State Agricul
tural College specimen of Russian thistle,
new pest which is gaining foothold in
Michigan. Our farmer friends are invited
to call and look the plant over.
The college recently issued the following
press bulletin, which should be read by
every one who owns an acre of farm land:
The Russian thistle pest, which Is not a
thistle, but a first cousin to our common
Lambs Quarters, or pig weed, has crossed
Lake Michigan and landed at Charlevoix.
Yesterday, Mr.. Fl. ID. Thompson, botanist
to the Fish Commission party now encamped
at Charleyoix, sent the consulting botanist
at the Experiment Station at the Agricul-
tural College, three or four young plants Of
the true Russian thistle, establishing, be-
yOnd doubt, the fact of its appearance in
our state. This weed is an annual, grow
ing from one to three feet high, branching
profusely, and when full grown, forming a
dense, bushy plant, from two TO six feet in
diameter, and about half as high. When
young, it is very juicy and tender, covered

Hon. M. F. Jordan, the nominee Of the
democratic convention for lieutenant COVER
nor, has renowned his allegiance to the
democratic party and unites with the
republicans. He says he has ''lost all hope
and confidence in the democratic party and
its ability to legislate in the interests of a
people like ours" 1t is a sensible conclu-
sion. The democrats of Barry county are
badly broken up by Jordan's move. He
will bring many others with him.

not in town and did not have much or any

members of the legislature. He seems,

those who would have it appear otherwise

State Republican: The Owosso TIMES

some magnificent work in exposing demo-
cratic lies on state issues; but, laws, Brother

ductIon of them all over the state. Every

Tres passes on state Land.

One of the most important duties of
the commissioner of the state land
Office is to look after the trespassers on
state lands There is constant temp
tation to dishonest lumber and timber
operators to make raids on the rich
fields of operations owned by the state,
and the keenest vigilance is necessary
to protect the people from being robbed
by this class of operators. 1t may be
interesting to the people to know how
much better their interests have been
watched by the present administration
than they were by the Democratic ad-
ministration. The following table
shows the amounts collected from tres
passers on state lands under the
Democratic administration of the land
Office and under the Republican admin
istration up to October 4:

iStration:

From March 90, 1894, since the ad-
ministration of William A. French, the
present state land commissioner, and
the Republican candidate, there has
been collected for trespass, SIS, s91.4O.
During the Democratic administra-
ton the trespass agents, under the di-
rection of Land Commissioner Shaffer,
were so Jealous in their attempts to
cover money into the state treasury, in
order to meet the rapidly diminishing
surplus left by the Republicans, that
they did not hesitate to extort money
from persons who were found cutting
timber on their own land, and $500 was
squeezed from the Pressure Isle Lumber
company of Hammond's Bay for alleged
trespass on land belonging to the COM
pany. The report of this collection
may be found on page five of commits
sioner's report for 1892, and in state
state treasurer's report for 1892, page
eight, and on page AGO of public acts of
1898.
In order to right this wrong, as far
as they could do so, the legislature, by
joint resolution No. 80, approved June
1, 1893, provided for settlement with
the Pressure Isle Lumber company for
the damages sustained, and such ad-
justment was subsequently made by
the board of state auditors.
