1t is announced from Lansing that
Gov. Rich will appoint Hon. w. "A.
French. of Pressure Isle, as Coinmis.
sioner Of the State Land Office. in case
the Office becomes vacant through the
salaries muddle.
We have every confidence in Com
missioner Berry, and believe that he Is
merely the victim of most unfortunate
circumstances. But should his Office
become vacant, there is no man in the
state better fitted to fill the position
than the gentleman whom the Cover
nor is said to have selected, the Hon.
w. A. French. of Pressure Isle. Mr..
French is thorough business man,
and probably no man in Michigan !,
better posted in regard to the states
public lands. More than this, Mr..
French is man of the most sterling
integrity, quality which appears to
be needed in state affairs, at the pres
emit time.
We believe that Mr.. Berry will be
cleared Of any responsibility for the
salary amendment frauds. and 1t is tC
be hoped that he will remain in charge
of the state land Office. but should
there be vacancy, Mr.. French will be
the right man in the right place, il ap
pointed to fill the position. -Alpend

Burke Cockren. congressman from

Wilson bill. stated that wages were too
high. and that workmen In this coun-
try had more comfortable houses and
lived better than the Kings of the
Middle Ages. There is no reason why
they should not. but the majority of

white laborers no better than slaves.

Our Washington Correspondent
says: 1T required all the power of the
Administration 70 force the cuckoo
Hawaiian resolution. condemning ex-
Minister Stevens and approving the
Cleveland policy, down the threats of
the democrats of the House. OBJ
jectors were plainly told that unless
they voted for the resolution it would
be waste OF time for them to ask the
smallest favor of the Administration
and even then it took two days to get
quorum of democrats willing to vote
for it on the floor of the House. 1t
was finally passed, but there is not a
single man who voted for it who can
honestly say he is proud of his vote"
"Mr. Cleveland has never been per-
sonally popular with the people of
Washington, who are, as rule. law
abiding folk. But if he had been ever
so popular, his act in pardoning the
most notorious dive keeper in the rity,
who was serving a term in the work
house for selling whisky without a
license. would have made him unpop-
ular. The man who was pardoned is
the head of family which has had
one hundred and fifty odd trials in
Washington courts, for crimes ranging
from murder and burglary down to
petty violations of law. Tie pardon
was granted in the face of the objec
ton of every local official to whom the
papers were referred"

From MacmillanS Magazine
You feel (as we have felt in our day.
that you are a teacher and a prophet
and you realize how true is all You have
heard and read about the power of the
press, and the might of the written word.
What you do not realize at the time is
that for one person that is moved by
your brilliant diatribe and subtle ar
gument there is another who is equally
stirred by the similar brilliancy and sub
/ tlety of the young gentleman who is
| teaching in an exactly opposite sense
on the other side. Also, you have prob
ably not yet been touched by the par
alyzing notion that out of twenty people
who buy the paper scarcely two read the
! leading articles at all.
This diSagreeable conviction comes up
ON you later, but it brings its consola-
tons with it. When you become con-
cious, long after there is any chance of
rectifying it, that you have committed
some egregious blunders in your rapid
scribble of the morning, it will comfort
YOU to think how very few of your read
ers are likely to notice 1t, especially II
the paper is selling better than usual.
For this means that there is a great
race being run somewhere, or a peculiar
ly7succulent divorce case on trial, when,
of course, nobody thinks of frivolous
things like ministerial of international
complications.
The leading article is indeed sur
viyal from the time when the reading
public was small, educated, and leisured,
and really took an interest in. such
istence is an anchorism. 1t is not how
ever, wholly without its uses. 1t pro-
vides. for instance "a decent livelihood
for many an estimable person who
would otherwise find it difficult to earn
his bread. For our own part we know
not what we should do without 1t. We
sIInpose we should have to come down to
teaching. One can always do that.
