Owing to the fact that Game and
Fish Warden Osborn differs with his
predecessor in his Interpretation of the
law relative to spearing of suckers,
mullet, redsides and grass pike, there
are number of fishermen in Michigan
who are daily taking the chance OF
being arrested for violations of this
law. Warden Osborn holds that the
amendment of 1893 is valid and in force.
This amendment absolutely forbids the
spearing or catching in any other man
ner than by hook and line, any kind of
fish in any of the waters of Michigan
except Big and Little Clam lakes in
Wexford county.

The people of this country believe in
tariff, not the sort OF tariff defined in
the Wilson bill, but in tariff that will
serve two purposes, one TO afford the
government not necessarily an enor-
nous and perhaps an unwieldy surplus
but revenue sufficient to pay running
expenses and to aid in reducing the
public debt, and one that shall honest
ly protect the honest labor of the true
American workingman and the indus
try that gives him employment, such
tariff as only the Republican party
~earlies: opportunity. which will come
soon.

Detroit Tribune: We observe with
foreboding that the Michigan board of
health has issued another of its force
full representations of the dangers in
something or other; milk, we believe,
in the present instance. We cannot
imagine what in the world we shall do
if the scientific persons discover many
more impending dangers. 1t seems to
us that the impending room must be
pretty nearly all occupied long ago.
The circumambient air is, we imagine,
about as full of dangers as it can be
crowded, and there are doubtless many
more still to be discovered.

Frank r. Chase, of Otisco, is a can
didate for Judge of Probate, on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Chase is well
and favorably known throughout Ionia
county, and there is no one who has
the confidence and esteem of all, more
than he. He served his country faith
fully during the late war, and that is
not ALL he is first class business man
and one who would if placed in that
responsible position, look after the in
terests of each and every one.-Saranac
Advertiser.
Nearly every local newspaper in
the state is proposing to put a stop to
publishing notices, resolutions, cards
OF thanks, ETC., free of charge. Pub
fishers are beginning to realize that
their only stock in trade is their paper
and the space therein, and when they
give away either they are simply out
that much. 1t takes money to run
newspaper-a whole lot more than
some people imagine.

Easton republicans have declared
for Pingree for governor and Myron
Currier for county treasurer. The
fight for the nomination for county
treasurer lies between Currier and
We bster Warren, the present deputy
treasurer, with the chances in favor of
the latter, and his many friends about
here, in Dandy and Sebewa, would be
glad to see him get it.-Portland
Observer.
The Allegan Journal, one OF the
Oldest Republican papers in the state
says: 'The Kalamazoo Daily Tele-
graph of Saturday last gives to Col.
Aaron T. Bliss warm and enthusiast
tic boom for governor of Michigan and
predicts that he has good chance to
win the place. So 1t goes from one end
of the state to the other.n

The Republican state convention to
