SALMON RIVER NOTES.

After many years absence !
ngain paw a visit to the old familiar
scenes on Salmon river, where /
find great changes have taken
place. Instead of the steep wind
ing narrow trail which we formerly
zigzagged over the numerous points
on the verge of frightful precipices,
we now find a substantial wagon
road blasted out of the rock on a
ten per cent grade, where teams
laden with supplies from Grange
vile and other markets, and taking
out the delicious fruits for which
Salmon river is becoming SO famous
are frequently seen.
Roy Gordon who owns the first
stage line over this route, with
four spirited horses and covered
coach max es two round trips over
this route every week as far as the
road is completed. The various
sub-contractors, Frank Shissler
Pete Smith, John Matthison and
Nick Ingram all deserve much
credit for their energy and fair.
ness in finishing their respective
sections.
Had they realized any profits
we might have been able to have
found some grounds for additional
labor; but after fair examination
and investigation think they have
all done remarkably well and had
it not been such hard times and
wages SO low they would have
lost heavily. 1 think that some

March Crop Report.

The wheat fields of Michigan
were fairly well, though lightly
covered with snow during the lar
ger part of February. A heavy
snow storm occurred near the mid
die of the month, but the high
winds prevailing left snow large
ly IN drifts. The average depth
Of snow in the lower peninsula, on
the 18th was from four or five in
ches, and on the 2Sth, in the south
ern and central counties, about one
inch.
At this date, March s, the snow
is all gone, and the frost in the
southern half Of the State, all out
Of the ground.
The weather in February was al
most continuously cold. At Lam
sing the mean daily temperature
was above the freezing point on on
ly seven days. The highest daily
average was 81 degrees on the 18th,
80 on the 9th, and 40 on the 9th
and 18th. About 40 per cent Of
the correspondents express a belief
that wheat has been damaged, and
60 per cent that it has not.
The total number of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
in February, is l, OBS ,127, and in the
seven months, August-February
10,285, 039, which is PASS bushels
less than reported marketed in the
same months last year. At % ele-
vators and mills from which reports
have been received, there was no
wheat marketed during the month.
In condition live stock averages
from four to seven points below a
full average, comparison being with
stock in good, healthy and thrifty
condition.

1t is difficult to find in the fact
that Mr.. Crows vote in Pennsyl-
vania was less by $4,000 than that
cast for the Republican candidate
for Congressman at Large in 1892
any evidence that many thousands
of "disgusted" Democrats voted for
him. The enormous falling off of
10000 in the vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate may indicate some
disgust, but it indicates more indif-
ference, due mainly to the act that
nobody supposed that there was the
slightest chance of electing the can
didate in State that is always so
one-sided in its vote for Congress
men. When there is a similarly
one-sided election in a Southern
State we are told that it is because
the Republican voters are intimid-
ated, and it is suggested that some
thing should be done to reduce the
representation. Is that disappear
ance of 10000 Democrtic voters in
Pennsylvania, while the Republican
vote was reduced and not increased,
evidence of Acknowledgement or
intimidationp If not, why not;
when that conclusion is always
drawn from similar discrepancies in
Georgia?--N. Y. Times.

lands during the present admins
tration drew down on his head the
walls of wrath that his Hawaiian
policy did. With few exceptions,
the radical press jumped on him
and Secretary Gresham with both
feet" if we may use the term. And
manifest opposition was not confn-
ed strictly to Republican press
either. Here and there a strong
Democratic paper denounced the
administration for what was pleased
to be called his up-American policy;
and thus the president got it within
as well as without his party. But,
as in every move Mr.. Cleveland has
made, he first felt we'll of his posi-
ton, satisfied himself he was right,
and then went ahead. When the
big storm was heaviest, when it
seemed as if he must be engulfed,
when congress was called upon by
partisan press to impeach him,
and when some papers went so far
as to say he would be impeached,
Grover Cleveland stood his ground,
calmly and serenely; not one inch
would he recede. Time rolled on F;
the publication of all tho cores
pondence in the case, and tho offici-
al inquiry made at Washington ed
ucated the public to tho belief that
President Cleveland was the reverse
of what his enemies had charged;
that he was loyal to the core, and
sought to lift his country out of the
mire his predecessor had placed il
lin. And the reaction was strong
and there was . psrceptibls back
down of the belligerent press. And
in time congress, instead of threat
ening to impeach him, warmly in
dorsed his policy; and on top OF
that the Senate Committee on For.
eign Affairs reported that the pres.
ident was right in his position
And thus Grover Cleveland come,
out of the ordeal with flying colors
and stronger than ever in the hearts
of the people who like fair play
In no one instance has the presid emf
shown himself the great leader that
he is than in his position on the
Hawaiian question. The Demo
cratic party could learn from thi'
if it would that to be successful, il
must stand by the leadership Of
those whom it has placed at the
front. Confidence in ones leader.
in those who have been tried and
found not wanting-is essential tc
success in party as well a. in an
individual.--Big Rapids Herald.

Gov. Rich Tarred With The Same
ytick

When clerk in the State depart
ment was told that Gov. Rich had
denied that he signed pardons or
other papers in blank, the clerk un-
rolled a bundle Of papers wrapped
in a newspaper, that contained the
statement of Rich, and showed a
reporter of the Free Press. 10 blank
pardons, and 10 land warrants, in
blank, all signed by John 7. Rich,
Governor"
This clerk could fill out a blank and
have any criminal in Jackson par
doned, and could issue a land war
rant that would hold, until the
fraud was discovered and it was an
nuled by the courts. 1t is such
gross negligence, that one is con-
strained to believe that it was done
for purpose. The republican OPP
portunity to commit a fraud does
not seem to be neglected by any of
its officers. Rich ought to be inn
peached and removed from Office
for this glazing disregard of the
plain provisions of the law. Par
don blanks and land grant licenses,
ought not to be left where q clerk
with a disposition to profit by its
advantages could make use of the
governors signature to pecuniary
benefit.
While the present indicated state
officers have these blanks in their
possession, we suggest that they
steal enough of them for self pro-
lection, as it will save them the
trouble of begging the governors
pardon.-Adrian Press.
