A Grand Rapids (Mich.) special OF re-

the financial fight in Michigan will be
the hottest. Grand Rapids had 1000
people i'm 1850, 5000 in 1870, and has
doubled every ten years since, and with
the doubling has come singular repu-

eccentricities in politics. IL was from
Grand Rapids that Coin Harvey received
his first large order for his book.
The laboring men and farmers were
long ago inoculated with the free sill

soon by the free silver agitators, and
that the toilers are gradually returning

SENTIMENTS OF MERCHANTS.
Presidential Preferences OF Prominent
Industrial Concerns


The Chicago Dry Goods Reporter has
sent letters of inquiry to mercantile
houses in all parts of the eastern anu
central states. inclusive of Michigan
and Illinois, concerning their presidcn-
tial preferences.
Many of the answers arc very Inter-
esting. The Fcatherbone Corset COM
pany of Kalamazoo, Mich, says:
Answering your inquiry. we favor the
election OF Mckinley and Hobart. In hrief.
our platform would be. first, fix the tariit
so that our government would nave plenty
OF revenue TO pay its expenses; second, we
also believe in charging foreign manufac-
turers for the privileges OF this market

You must rest confident that l will the London convention of 1884"
 The People, the weekly edition of the Globe and which is in touch with the government, says there is reason to believe that Premier Salisbury and his colleagues, owing to the hostile at titude of Germany will consider the eX- pedency of immediately strengthening the British forces in those parts of the empire that are exposed to attack. Field Marshal Lord Woolsey, com- mander-n-c chief of the forces has glven it as his opinion that if the forces are sent abroad it will be necessary to reinforce the troops at home. It is, therefore, likely that the militia and army reserve will be called out to such an extent as to place at least one army corps at the disposal of the war office for foreign service.
 The Central News says that the gov ernment is determined not to permit Germany to give military assistance to the TransVaal.
 London, Jan. 5.-James Mackenzie MacLean. NJ. F. for the Cardiff district proprlgtor of the Cardiff Western Mail, has written an article for that paper in which he says;
 Emperor Williams message to Paul Kruger. president of the South African republic is as deadly and as unprovok- ed an insult as was ever offered to the head of a great European power and to a nation of equal rank. In fact, of these repeated insults from foreign powers the time has come to use mora effective means of retaliation than pro- tests that are conspicuous for prudence and moderation. The temper of the English people is rising. The murmurs among Lord Salisbury's friends in both houses of parliament are becoming louder and deeper daily. Emperor Will liam in proclaiming the right of the Transvaal to receive assistance from Germany has trampled upon interna- tional law and violated the convention of 1884. It is the clear duty of Lord Salisbury to demand the withdrawal of the offensive telegram. If it is not can celled he should immediately recall the British ambassador from Berlin"
 Berlin, Jan. 5.--President Kruger has, in reply to the emperor's message. ca bled the following:
 T testify to your majesty my very deep and heartfelt thanks for your ma | jesty's sincere congratulations. With Gods help We hope to do everything possible for holding our dearly bought independ and the stability of our ] beloved republic"
 Paris, Jan. 5.-Temps asks Great Brit ain to immediately and absolutely re-
 yoke the charter of the British South Africa company. and says;
 France has no idea of humiliating Great Britain, with whom she enter | tans friendly relations. nor of falling 1 in line behind Emperor William, but 1 Great Britain ought to recognize that there is a Europe even in Africa"

 At the conclusion of his address Car dinal Satolli was vested for mass, which was rendered with himself as celebrant. Beethoven's mass in c was the selection and Professor Hale led a choir of seventy-two voices With or chesral accompaniment. Following the mass a Te Deum was sung. The sermon of the day was preached by Archbishop John J. Kain of St. Louis, Mo.

Mosso marched with it to the province of Santiago de Cuba and very little trouble was encountered as the Spanish commands, which had been in that territory, had gone in the direc- tion of Havana to- join General Cam pos.
 The members of the crew said that day before the vessels departure from Gibara an expedition had landed in Trinidad, east of Cienfuegos With men, arms and ammunition. It ran-the gauntlet of the Spanish gunboats in rounding the southern point of the Cuban coast. Some of the men were Americans and it was stated that they were a part of a military organization of San Francisco, which had offered its service to Cuba about eight weeks ago.
