G THE PREACHER.
Church Women Attend the Opening
of a New O


ST. JOSEPH, MICH, July 15.-Rev.
Mr.. Bready, the foremost pastor of
the city, is shock over the action of
the prominent women of the city, who
last might attended the opening of
Kibler & Seaver's saloon. These
women have been prominently identi-
fed with the Law and Order League,
which has caused the wholesale arrest
of the saloOnmen. Last night this
new saloon openened its doors, and
the women gathered in front to see
who went in. The proprietors invited
them to come in and inspect the place
and, c~haperened by Il physician, they
accepted the invitation. The bar
room, which is the finest here, was
filled with people, among them many
business men.
The women viewed all the attrac-
lions of the place and spent a half
hour in watching the men drink. They
were Mortified when the proprietors
asked them to take something" and
they refused. After viewing the sa-
loon department, the wine rooms and
the gambling room, they departed,
having spent two hours in the estab-
lishment. In the meantime they
were the objects of interest of the
hundreds who visited the place. Be
fore their departure they told Seaver
that they did not expect to see such
an elegant place. To add to the excite
ment, they were given a ride, by the
saloon men. to Benton Rarbor, and the
wholething has made Preacher Bready
so angry that he threatens to drop the
names of the ONE from the church
roll.

George Fred Williams evidently

The Minority Has Rights.

The News is great believer in the
rights OF the minority and 30 stated when
at the former caucus in Calumet town
ship the minority, presumably for Pin
gree, we're quietly sat down upon by the
majority and by which means not 16 to
1, but the 30 toll gave the minority the
cold shoulder. They say that chickens
come home TO roost. and last night the
II, having increased their numbers, did
come home to roost, for verify.
At the caucus last night there we're ap-
parently two tickets in the held-one the
Lean and the other the Ward-the former
carrying the day, or rather night, with
lying colors. How the Calumet delega-
ton stands for other officers is not gener.
ally known, az the fight was evidently
made on the sheriff, but it is, presumably,
divided.
The fight in the county convention will
no doubt be between the Robinson and
Wright factions and for the office OF Judge
OF probate, with a possibility OF there
being an attempt to Gust Register Jaeh-
mig; not, however, because the duties OF
the office have not been properly filed,
but because be does not personally attend
to the work.
All the candidates for the county Offices
are 20 well known that il il needless to
refer TO their qualifications, but it may
be az well to call attention to the fact
that now, this county has so increased in
population and wealth, the office OF Judge
OF probate has become, to our thinking
the most important one in the county,
and the delegates sho lid, therefore, zee to
il that they nominate the best man who
offers himself. They should not allow
any within or personal feeling to lead their
judgment but should nominate the man
who comes nearest their idea OF being
above suspicion, as il may be the man
they nominate may have, ia the event OF
their death within the ensuing four years,
the duty Of settling some very nice points
connected with their own estates and II
they will only bear this in mind they will
surely nominate the candidate with the
best personal record for honesty and iair
dealing. which that may be, 10 Of course,
