Mr.. and Mrs. Unger have been resi-

business In the olo wooden hotel. Mrs.
Unger also carried on millinery es-

has nothing in view whereby the block

his expressed position will meet the
approval Of all patriotic people. He
declares that lynching must not be toll
Grated; the courts must execute the
law. No violaters of law should
escape. There should be "a rigid en-
forcement OF laws against trusts. I'm
desirable immigration should be
checked, while we must be mindful OF
education and enlightment among our
own people. The civil service law he
declared he shall enforce in the spirit
in which it was enacted. He also
urges Congress to legislate for the up
building of Americas merchant
marine.
Concerning Cuba, while he approves
of no war OF conquest, no territorial
aggression, he contends that we must
be watchful of national honor, and in
slst on the enforcement of the lawful
rights Of American citizens every
where. The principle of arbitration
of international difficulties also finds
in the president an earnest champion.
The new president says the revival
of business depends more largely
upon the prompt, energetic and intel.
lgent action of Congress than upon
any other single agency" Let us hope
that that body will realize its duties rs
the president does his, and the nation
will start upon a renewed career OF
prosperity and contentment.
Four years ago Mr.. Cleveland under
took to get along without Congress.
He decided that he did not want it ION
his hands" The phrase was accepted
AS expressing contempt for that body,
and, accordingly, it was warmly re-
sented. In few months, however,
matters got entirely beyond even his
control, and he was obliged TO call
Congress together. Friction began at
that extra session, partly as the result
of the presidents slur, and it continued
and increased all through his second
term, until, at the close, there was
open warfare between him and the
lawmakers. Public business suffered
from this, and the blame was quite
freely and very generally laid at his
door.
Mr.. Mckinley takes the other side
of the question. He acknowledges at
once the necessity of Congress in an
emergency, and in his inaugural ad-
dress he pays handsome tribute TO that
body. He says: 81 do not sympathize
with the sentiment that Congress IN
session is dangerous TO our business
interests. It's members are the agents
of the people, and their presence at
the seat OF government in the execution
OF sovereign will should not operate as
an injury but a benefit"
These two views are easily explain
ed. Mr.. Cleveland had never in all
his protracted experience as an office
holder served as member of body
with legislative functions. All his
service had been as an executive.

LIVELY IN OTIsCO.

From present indications there will
ship of Otlsco in the coming township
election and If it develops AS it is like
ly to do according to the present out
look, it will be something out of the
ordinary for that stronghold OF Repub-
licanism, where in number Of cleo
tions during the past but one ticket
has been in the field. A Democrat
es-Union-Silver caucus has been
called TO be held March %, and another
headed Union-Silver is called for
March rs. The Republicans will hold
theirs March %. Three tickets will
no doubt provoke some interest and
bring on a lively fight. 1t is under
stood that Mark Brown wants the NOM
ination on the Democratlc-Peoples-
Union Silver ticket for township
treasurer and will probably be the
nominee if his forces stay by him.
The Union-Silver people expect to
place Michael Kemp in that position
on their ticket but who will head
either of the above for supervisor is II
question yet TO be determined, no one
having announced themselves as can
didates for the honor. Frank l.. Moon
will in all probability be the Republi-
can nominee, it however, is stated that
some opposition has developed from
certain quarters but not in sufficient
quantity to cut much of figure.

WAS BORN IN OTlSCO.
James A. Latta Appointed Deputy Bank
Examiner.

Bank Commissioner j. h. Just, who
will assume the duties of his office
April l (, has selected James A. Latta
as one of the bank examiners OF the
state. Mr.. Latta is at present discount
clerk OF the Peninsular Savings bank
at Detroit. He is 81 years of age, and
was born at the home OF his grand
parents in Otisco township, this county.
He served three years as deputy county
treasurer OF Ionia county, under Mr..
Just, and later entered the old Second
National bank, now Webber Bros, AS
teller. He was with that bank seven
years and in 1892 accepted position
as teller in the Peninsular bank. He
is particularly we'll qualified for the
position, his experience having been
such that he is thoroughly familiar
with every branch Of the business.
Combining this essential feature with
the fact that he is both courteous, gen
tlemanly, popular and highly esteemed,
the position will be filled in manner
highly creditable To both himself and
the state department.
Eugene A. Sunderlin will remain IA
deputy commissioner and it has been
decided to increase the force of exam
iners, the old staff being inadequate TO
handle such largely increased num-
ber of banks. Another examiner will
foe Theodore Joslin, young Adrian
