THE WIFE AT HOME.

With apologies To the poet laureate
Of the last lesiSlaturrl
Husband, dear husband, come home 10
me now,
From the state house 80 coy anu
warm,
lis time for Clark and neGroff 70
come OIL
And you're needed At home on the
farm.
The voice of your wiley is calling you,
dear,
Its nearing the time 10 make soap
And some of the women are saying,
my love,
I'm giving YOU far too much rope.
They say there are lots of young ladies
down there
Young widows and typewriterS too:
haven't been kissed since the morn
ing YOU left
Now, husband. how is il With YOU:
4 newspaper says giddy young thing.
With her curlS and her SMILES and her
paint,
Had roped in member and led him
aStlay-
If l thought it was you | would faint
Husband, dear husband. come home
to me now,
Drop the fish and the old option farce;
Don't fool away time ON any new
Srhamp.--
Come home and help tend To the
horse.
Madison is very, yes. awful bad
town
And some of the statesmen are Wild
They play poker and keno much finer
than silk
When think of all this get riled.
Husband, dear husband, want you at
home.
And | want YOU To come hurry up now:
If You 90 galavanting OF without me
You bet yous sweet life there's row.
What became of that bill for women
To Vote
I'll like To know Just what you're at,
think can see You ut billiards and
pool
With a brand new shining plug hat,
Husband. dear husband. the news
papers say
That most of the members drink wine,
That the very old Nick is to pay in
the town
With Hall and the railroad combine
Mahunrv is hot AID RuckStatf mad.
That the house is clear up on it's ear.
so think you had better skip out To
the farm
For it's very much safer up here.
Husband. dear husband. come home
to me now,
am seeming the odor of spring
You've stayed long enough at the
capitol there,
You are much safer under my wing.
The old horse is paving the stable like
mad,
The colts in terrible stew
The small brindle heifer has got a
white calf,
And the cattle are bawling for you.
Conway and Burdick have each tried
their luck
They've posed as statesmen and such.
But Hall is the man whose great iron
hand
Tried to hold the railroads too much:
The good Herr Wolfe SPECIFIED on
things most diverse,
Speaker Burrows spoke on hut onu bill,
Dodge frequently fails to catch on at
all,
While Of law making you've all had
your fill.

Mayor Pingree

AT the present time, no person in
Michigan politics is attracting such
general attention or is so much talk
ed about over the state at large, as
Mayor Hazen S. Pingree of Detroit.
If notoriety made up the whole SUBJ
stance of fame, Mr.. Pingree would
be famous indeed.
There is a great diversity of opin-
ion concerning Mr.. Pingree and his
ability. Some contend that he is a
man of great ability; Others that he
a political demagogue. 1t is prob
able that neither one of the above
estimates is entirely correct. For
several consecutive terms, he has
been elected as mayor of Detroit and
now seems to be most likely to be
his own successor. These elections
have been on the republican ticket
in what was a democratic city until
he entered the arena of municipal
politics. The masses of the people are
attached to him, and such lasting at
tachment to political leader is not
likely to depend on mere demagogy
and idle ranting. No, Mayor Pin
gree'spopularity in Detroit has more
substantial foundation than that.
His administrations have been whole
some ones in the history of Detroit's
material progress. But that does
not prove him to be a great leader,
nor even that he has the elements of
political greatness to any extent. 1t
merely indicates that he has applied
to the affairs of the city of Detroit
the same hard headed business sense
by which he has made his private
business a success.
AS to the charge that he is dem
agogue, it is no doubt true that he
has to an undue degree aroused the
antagonism of the masses against the
classes, but this is incidental to his re-
form methods rather than socialistic
tendency of the mayor, who is him
self large employer of labor with
large private interests depending up
on the fidelity of his workingmen.
Should Mr.. Pingree be defeated
for the denomination IN Detroit, the
probabilities are that his political
future would at once become polit-
ical past. On the other hand, should he
succeed in the municipal convention
and at the polls, he might remain
considerable factor in state politics.
While not a great man, MIR. Pin
gree has shown himself to have con-
siderable of that quality commonly
called ''personal magnetism" and to
be man of no mean ability as an
organizer.

Political Leaders.

a London paper finds in the third
term talk in this country a reason to
believe that change has taken place
in the American people and that
they have become worshipers of
great or strong men to an extent not
known in former periods. This is
another example of the notorious
lack of English information with re-
gard to our affairs. AS is well known
here, the suggestion of a third term
for President Cleveland is merely
one of the passing topics that serve
to relieve the monotony of politics
and give the, editors something to
write about. There is no definite
sentiment in favor of such depart
ure from a well-established policy;
and certainly Mr.. Cleveland, with
all of his conceded merits, has not so
impressed the country as a states
man and leader that it is inclined
to exalt him over all previous presi-
dents. In so far as the talk about
thus singing him out for an UMPIRE
cedented honor means anything, it
means simply that there may be indi-
viduals here and there who would
like TO have him continued in office
for business reasons. There is moth
ing more in it than that, and the
least probable of all explanations is
that which attributes it to a growing
disposition on the part of the Amer
lean people to bow down to political
leaders, and to surrender the right
of managing their own affairs in their
own way, on the theory that every
body is wiser than anybody.
There are no towering figures in
our politics, no great men upon whom
the country leans and by whom it is
guided. The tendency for a long
time past has been to diminish
rather than to increase the influence
and importance of leaders. During
the first fifty years of the government,
there were successive groups of states
men who acquired prominence and
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-10-11

exerted practically controlling power
in the adjustment of public inter
ests. They were of superior intellect
ual force, and the conditions were
favorable to their supremacy. But
there are no such men now. The
statesmen of our period are not lead
ers in the sense of being able to die
tate the course of parties and the
drift of public opinion. When one
Of them attempts to manage things
in an arbitrary way, he is quickly
put aside and given to understand
that he must subordinate himself to
those whose votes finally settle all
controversies. There is no lack OF
respect for genuine ability and APP
probation of honest and useful SER
vice; but neither is there any inclina-
ton to place men on pedestals and
make them objects of worship. The
right is always reserved to rebuke or
discard them in case they assert
themselves beyond a certain limit,
forgetful of the fact that they are
servants, not masters; and thus there
is no opportunity for the existence of
leaders like those who appeared in
former times.
This does not necessarily signify
that the statesmen of the present are
inferior to those of the past. AS a
class, they are capable and worthy,
unquestionably, and it would prob
ably not be too much to say that
their general average of fitness for
the places that they occupy has
never been excelled. The absence
of Websters and Calhouns, Clays and
Bentons, does not mean that our
craftsmanship has deteriorated so
much as it means that the chances
of distinction have been reduced by
the aggregate increase of ability.
There has been steady rising of the
masses in mental development, and
this fact is reflected in the equipment
of our public men. If we have no
political leaders to whom we pay
homage with the feeling that they
were born to rule over us, we NAV
congratulate ourselves that we have
outlived the necessity for them, or
the excuse for tolerating them. 1t
is quite certain that our affairs are as
well managed, all things considered,
as they ever were, and the conclusion
must be that the prevailing measure
of ability is equal to all demands,
and that it is more reasonable to be-
lieve that there has been a leveling
up than that there has been leveling
down in that relation. There are no
supreme figures in sight to eclipse
all the others, but there is more un-
iformity of talent, higher average
of excellence, and that may be best
for the country, after all.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

How They Get Together

The following financial planks, TAX
en- respectively from the most recent
platforms of the Michigan democracy
and the Massachusetts, democracy,
serve to show the way in which our
democrat friends "get together" on
the financial question and beautifully
illustrate the harmony(0 that exists
in the ranks of that party:
MICHIGAN.
The democratic party of Michigan
in convention assembled unqualified
ly declares in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold,
with full legal-tender power and at a
ratio of Is to /, and invites every
patriotic citizen, regardless of pre-
vious party affiliations, to join us in an
imperative demand for immediate
Legislation to that end, and without
regard to the position of any other
nation with respect thereto.
MASSACHUSETTS,.
We demand the maintenance of
the existing gold standard of value,
and that the government shall keep
all its obligations at all times redeem
able in gold. We oppose the free
coinage of silver and any further
purchase of silver bullion on govern
ment account.
And democrats "point with pride"
to each of these declarations! 1t
takes good deal of fine figuring to
stand squarely on both sides of a
great national issue, to be "free sill
verite" anda full hedged "gold bug"
at the same time, but our democrat
friends seem to be equal to the task.
If being all things to all men will
win political support, the democrat
party should sweep the country at
the approaching elections.
