A New Amusement.

Amusement seekers have something
new to attract their attention now and
a pleasant way to spend an hour or so.
This ia the merry -go-round erected by
William Smyth near the base ball park,
opposite the Mineral Range depot. The
merry -go-round is one OF the finest and
most Substantial that has ever been to
Calumet and since its opening last Satur-
day evening large number of people.
young and old, have patronized it and
enioyed the fun immensely.
Mr.. Smyth himself carefully supervises
the operation OF the big machine and to
this fact as much as the stability and
general perfectness Of the mechanism OF
the apparatus, is due the safety with
which it may be patronized. The sport
is celebrating and fascinating and there
is absolutely NO danger connected with
| it, even for children. There are at
tendants on the wheel all the time who
make it point to see that all who pat
| ronize the merry-go-round are treated
courteously.
One especial feature OF the outfit which
is deserving OF more than ordinary no.
tice is the automatic band organ, a mag
nificient instrument which plays twenty
four different tunes all Of which are pop
ular up to date selections.
Mr.. Smyth and his wheel have made a
most favorable impression IN the cities OF
the iron country where he was patronized
very largely. Mr.. Smyth makes point
OF having an officer Of the law on hand
80 there is no chance of any OF his pat
rons being disturbed or annoyed.

Hon. VIM. Mckinley, In his address
before the Marquette club, in Chica-
go, on the anniversary OF Lincoln 8
birthday, asserted that the principles
of the Republican party was like the
laws of the Modes and Persans, un-
alterable, and quoted the plank in
the platform adopted in Chicago, in
1860, when Lincoln was first nomina-
ted, to show that 1t was as equally
applicable to the situation to day, as
then. 1t was as follows: Resolved,
That, while providing revenue for
the support Of the general govern
ment by duties on imports, sound
policy requires such an adjustment
of these imports as to encourage the
development of the Industrial inter
ests Of the whole country; and we
commend that policy Of national ex-
changes which secures to the work
ngmen liberal wages, to agriculture
remunerative prices, to manufactu-
rers and mechanics an adequate re-
ward for their skill, labor and enter
prise, and to the Nation commercial
prosperity and independence"
