A PROPER SENTIMENT.

PROPER SENTIMENT.
The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and just
indignation of the American people,
and we believe that the United States
es should exercise all the interfer
ence it can properly exert to bring
these atrocities to an end. In .Tur-
key, American residents have been
exposed to the gravest dangers and
American property destroyed.
There and everywhere, American
proper y mus be absolutely protect
ed at all hazards and at any cost.
MONROE DOCTRINE RE-AssERTED.
We re-as sert the Monroe doctrine
in its full extent, and we re-affrm the
right of the United States to give
the doctrine effect by responding to
the appeals of any American State
for friendly intervention in case OF
European encroachment. We have
not interfered., and shall not inter
fere, with the existing possessions OF
the European power in this hemis-
phere, but those possessions must
not on any pretext be extended. We
hopefully look forward to the eventual
withdrawal Of European powers from
this hemisphere, and to the ultimate
union of all English speaking parts
of the continent by the free consent
of its inhabitants.
PLAYING ON A POPULAR STRING.
From the hour Of achieving their
own independence, the people of the
United States have regarded with
sympathy the struggles Of other
American people to free themselves
from European domination. We
watch with deep and abiding interest
the heroic battle of the Clban pa
triots against cruelty and oppression,
and our best hopes 60 out fer the full
success of their determined contest
for liberty.
The government Of Spain, having
lost co troll of Cuba, and being un-
able to protect the property or lives
of resident American citizens, or to
comply with its treaty obligations,
believe that the government OF the
United States should actively use its
influence and good Offices to restore
peace and give independence to the
island.
MORE POWERFUL NATION.
The peace and security of the 1e-
public and the maintenance of it's
lishtful influence among the nations
of the earth demand a naval power
commensurate with its position and
responsibility. We therefore favor
the continued enlargement of the
navy and a complete system OF har-
Dor and seaccast defenses.
For the protection of the quality
of our American citizenship and Of
the wages Of our workingmen agains t
the fatal competition of low priced
labor, we demand that the emi ga
ton laws be thoroughly enforced,
and so extended as to exclude from
entrance to the Uuited States those
who can neither read nor write.
A CUT AT GROWERS WIND.
The civil law was placed on the
statute book by the Republican party,
which has always sustained it, and
we renew our repeated declarations
that it shall be thoroughly and hon
estly enforced and extended wherever
practicable.
TO TICKLE THE SEG'O.
We demand that every citizen of
the United States shall be allowed to
cast one free and unrestricted ballot,
and that such ballot shall be counted
and returned as cast.

No Rats or snakes.

1t is singular fact that no one has
ever seen either rat or snake on the
Gogebic range. 1t is contended by some
that FIR. Marquette, when he first visited
there, emulated the example of lreland's
patron saint, and vanished all snakes
therefrom. BE this as ii may the pecul-
lar fact remains that one OF the reptiles
is never seen there. while one has but to
cross 20 the Wisconsin side OF the Nom
treal river to find them quite plentiful.
As to rats, they are generally as plenti-
ful in mining region as they are about
wharves, and may be found in great
numbers in the mines o! the copper coun-
try and Marquette and Menominee iron
ranges, and it is even said that old miners
regard shaft in which there are no rats
with distrust, much as a sailor does ship
under like conditions. But the miner Of
the Gogebic must needs get along with
out his rodent friends detroit News.

FINE FARMING LANDS
Are Being Sold BY the Michigan Land d
Iron Company at Low Prices.

About year ago IL was determined by
the managers Of the Michigan Land &
Iron Co.. (Limited), to make an effort to
dispose Of such of its land as was suit
able for agriculture. The grant Of laud
belonging to this company was large and
although portion OF its territory was
rough. there were scattered through it
tracts that were suitable for farming.
While many thousand acres were lying
idie,only needing the plow TO make them
return revenue. The offering OF these
lands Tor sale was not altogether a sell
fish one, because the land had TO be Of
Tered at a price (tomake it possible for
poor man to buy that was below the
cost. and If taxes were considered, far
less thah was paid for them. Much Of
this land was covered with heavy tim
Der, or was what is .called hardwood
land aud although this timber would ia
time become valuable for lumber, still,
as the farmer needed something to live
was put at price within his reach.
1t was tousd. as the experience o; all
those vile had land for sale. that it was
seldom valued when procured for moth
Ing. and IL WIS therefore determined
that there should be a down payment
both TO secure the seller and the pur-
chaser.
To sell the land for s. an acre. with
down payment of about an eighth Of the
purchase price, the balance to be paid in
seven equal annual payments. with IN
terest az ) per cent, the hardwood tim
ber to be sold TO settlers at the rate of
fifteen cents for hard wood, and ten
cents for soft weod.
This plan would tfor forty acres be as
follows:
Twenty-Five dollars down. and twenty
five dollars each year for seven years,
with an annual payment of less than two
dollars for interest and taxes
Ii was ought that If ten sales were
made du.ing the first year it would be
all that could be expected. but it has
come aboht that instead Of ten there
have beea thirty, some Of forty acres,
and some of eighty acres. Three groups
where fe rmers have commenced settle
ments, have grown up, one near L'Anse,
another near Mlehigamme. ana one near
Republic. which will be an encourage
ment for others to follow.
The company stands ready TO send a
man out and designate such land as is
suitable for farming to those who make
application. but only to actual settlers.
