G. o. p. TURNED DOWN.
TChicago DISPATCH

Republicans IN Michigan are getting
a report from the people as to their
ideas concerning the merits Of the g. o.
p. Democratic victories along the line
point to the inevitable conclusion that
the Republicans have been weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
In the municipal elections the Demo
Gratis gave very good account of them
selves in all parts of the Michigan vine
yard. Many municipalities long lost to
the Democrats were recovered, and a
few which never before had Democratic
mayors were captured. Grand Rapids,
which has been Republican for nearly
ten years, was redeemed, and the DEM
ocratic mayor will be backed by coun-
Gil three-fourths Democratic. The
Saginaw Democrats elected their entire
city ticket and viii have two-thirds of
the new council. Kalamazoo, the home
of Senator Julius Caesar Burrows, went
Democratic, and so did Jackson
Ypsilanti, Ionia, Petoskey. Dowagiac,
Owosso, Marine City, Albion, Benton
Harbor, Marshall, Grand Haven, Three
Rivers. Hastings, Charlotte, Sturgis
and Manistee.
Elections were held in total OF sixty
cities and twenty-seven went Demo
cratic, twenty one Republican and in
twelve purely local issues determined
the results, The election will give Ben
ton Harbor and Mount Clemens the first
Democratic mayors these towns have
ever had. In most instances the Demo
cratic victories Were preceded by har-
monious UNIONS of ali anti-Republican
forces, and were sufficiently emphatic
ard decisive to carry control of the en-
tire local government. Two years ago,
after the spring elections. scarcely city
in Michigan was left in Democratic con-
troll. The elections Monday did not
turn the scales as much the other way,
but they gave the movement good
start in that direction, and laid the
foundation for vigorous, aggressive
campaign this fall, with favorable pros
pects Of carrying several of the Con
gressionaI districts. The six largest cit
les in the State, beginning with
Detroit, are now Democratic and safely

LEAP YEARS WILL RUN OUT.

"In time leap year will go out of ex-
istence," explained almanac computer
to a reporter, ''but, as it will not occur
for over 500 years, we haven't much
personal interest in the event. In the
ordinary course of events 1900 would
be leap year, but it will get left in the
calculation. In other words, while it
does occur, it does not occur, simply
because it is not the agreement that it
shall occur. The story is a long one,
but it can be briefly told, so that the
average person can understand it with
out much difficulty. In 1852, in the
arrangement of the Julian calendar,
ten DAYS were dropped SO as to get
things running on the then new
but the present basis of calculating
time. So as to keep things running
right, it was determined that year
ending a century should not be bissex-
tile, except every fourth century.
Thus there was no leap year in ZOO,
1900 or 1900 1t is. or at least was.
rather rough on the ladies who have
special advantages in leap year, for it
is the only year that it is proper for
them to propose themselves in marri-
age, but it has always been so in mat
tiers affecting womankind, men al
WAYS finding reasons for restricting
their privileges. The ladies get left
again in 1900, but though there will
not be many OF those who see 1900 who
will see 1000, the latter years, ending
a fourth century, will be leap year.
In this way three days are retrenched
in four centuries, and the remaining
seven days viii be made up in q little
over 800 years. After that calendar
years will be like solar years and fu-
ture errors in the calculation OF time
will occur no more. The loss OF leap
wears will in thousands of years affect
the seasons, but suppose the math-
ematicians of the centuries hence will
be so flip in handling figures and cal
culations that they will have no diff
Guilty in keeping things going cor
rectly.'

A Hen with Kittens.

Mrs. r. N. Beasley, of Paint Lick,
has an old chicken hen that is raising
two kittens. She watches over them
with as much care as ever hen did
over her chickens and seems to be de-
voted to the little rat slayers the same
as if she was actually their mother.
BY the way this recalls tsh story OF Mr..
Collins Coy of Kirksville, which be
told us some time ago about an old
cat he had that captured litter OF
young rats and took them to raise.
AIR. Coy says she raised them until
they were about half grown when the
old cat disappeared, taking her family
of rats with her.

Our good Republican and gold-bue
friends hear again from one of the

talks like true man ought to talk
when he has been deceived. Hear
him:

one thing is no April FOOLS Joke, and
that is that S-Mark Hanna's putty.
laced puppet will not occupy the pres
idential chair another term. The
miserable farce of the past two weeks
has settled that, and the brother of
Mchinley's law partner. who spent
several days in Kentucky this week
sounding Gov. Bradley and other
leading Republicans, will go home
with burning ears.
Mckinley is merely the agent of a
gang of spectators, headed by SHARK
Hanna, and here is their game as L
heard it in New York last Sunday.
Some of the Kentuckians who attend
ed the launching of the Kentucky and
the Kearsarge said they We're going to
Washington to learn the war news.
went to New York to learn the war
news. New York is where this coun-
try is governed from at present.
Well the Mark S-Hanna syndicate
wants no war with Spain, but they
want Cuba to be free. They also want
Cuba to buy her freedom with $780,
100000 They are also willing TO adj
vance the 100000, 900 accepting there
for Cuban bonds. All very simple
They will get the bonds at a low price
because Cuba's credit is not good.
Now! When Cuba gets free from
Spain she can never pay that debt and
she will fall into disorder and anarchy.
and by that time there will be millions
OF American capital invested in sugar
plantations and iron ore beds in Cuba.
Then the United States will have to
annex the island and pay its debt, and
the Cuban bonds will go to big prem
ium like other United States bonds.
What about the Maine and her muir
dered sailors? Well SHARK Hanna is
perfectly willing to throw in a few
hundred dead sailors to close bar
gain that will put more dirty dollars
into his greasy fist. You will hear no
| about the Maine incident if Hanua's
man can keep the subject in the back
ground. Peace at any price! Millions
for tribute to Spain for Cuba's free
dom! Millions to spend for boats
built in SHARK Hanna's ship yard at
Cleveland, boats too long by 10 feet to
go through the Canal Millions to
feed the starving Cuban's when the
American people will stand the horror
no longer! But not a single blow to
make good the pledge of the last Re-
publican National platform! Not a
single shell to blow Havana's assassins
off the earth for their cowardly muir
der of cur sailors!
No, it might interfere with some
body's business! 1t might spoil that
speculation in Cuban bonds that the
United States will some day have to
pay. 1t is possible that William Jen-
nings Bryan spoke prOphetically OF
the ''cross of gold" and the crown of
thorns." Is the blood of our sailors
and the honor of orr cOuntrv 70 no
thrown for "boot" with S2OOOOO,OOO of
American money to buy dishonorable
peace with Spain because SHARK Han
ma wants to speculate on the bankrupt
estate OF the moribund power? What
an outcome after all the talk about de-
handing satisfaction of Spain.
If Mckinley ever fights it will be
because Congress kicks him into it.

THE ISSUE THAT DIES" YET LIVES.
Atlanta constitutional

We are now witnessing the bi-monthly
dying out of the silver question"
This wonderful performance, as usual,
is taking place in the editorial rooms
OF the plutocratic press. 1t seems that
travelling correspondent of one of these
organs met man in the road in Illinois,
and told hOwdy. The man howdied,
and suggested something about the
weather. The correspondent not being
satisfied with this, asked the man
whittier the road led. From here 10
the crossroads" answered the man,
''but at the cross roads it branches out
an goes every whichway"
This was more satisfactory, for the
correspondent clapped spurs to his
horse and galloped to the nearest tele-
graph station, whence he sent a thous-
and-word dispatch announcing that "the
silver question is dying out in all parts
of the country" As a result, We find it
dying out" in all the plutocratic OIL
gans. This dying out" business is a
great deal too numerous to count its
anniversaries. and there is no need to
90 back to history to verify dates.
The silver question was dead" in
1892, was dying out" in 1894, dead"
in 1896 and dying out" in 1898. This
being so We wonder that the plutOcratic
press concerns itself So far as to keep
silver's memory green. 1t is queer
that the editors have never been Lex; to
suspect is inseparably connected with
silver, gets at least part of its vitality
from the conspicuous manner in which
they advertise it.
The fact is, however, that the talk Of
war only makes the silver question more
important. OF all national issues it is
the only one that is sure to be found at
the bottom OF all political discussion. Ii
| the talk is about war you will hear the
plu:ocratic editors ask with a shiver,
But won't war involve suspension OF
gold payments and bring us plump to
silver basis ?" Let the talk be about
the prospects of currency reform, or the
effects Of the tariff, and, behold our
old friend, the silver question, hobs up
as clipper and as ready for a frolic as a
| kitten.
Does man want to run for Gov
ernor? Very well; the first thing he
must do is to announce where he stands
on the silver question. Does he want
any other important office? He must
tell the voters how he feels in regard to
the reconciliation OF silver. This, of
course, does not interfere with the regu-
lar bi-monthly dying out" of the silver
question in the organs; but it shows
that the people are neither dead nor
sleeping.
Wars and rumors of war may come
and go; the 'hOnor" and integrity" OF
the nation may be talked of by those
who wouldn't know national integrity
if they met it in the road; sound"
money may form the subject of volu-
minous editorial articles, and numerous
pamphlets, but the silver question con-
tinues to be alive among the $4,000
who voted for tree coinage. The intelli-
gent white voters of the land voted to
remonetize silver by a majority Of
more than million.

Rough are the steps, slow-hewn in fintiest

BIR0N'S MARRIAGE.
lChicago Times-Herald. ]

Swift said, No wise man every mar
ried." Byron's marriage was an act of
lunacy. The very manner of its begin
ming was insincere and theatrical. His
friends had been urging him to marry,
50 he wrote two prOposals-sopt of
sealed Understand sent them to
two young ladies. One of them &c
clined, the other accepted. Naturally
Byron married the later. The rest is
known, and for this part of his life has
the poet suffered strongest criticism.
1t did not die with his death, but the
evil that he did lived after him, while
the good was seemingly 'entombed
with his bones" The world holds as
most potent proof of his insincerity
that he made his wife's existence a
purgatory, finally drove her from his
house, even refusing to shake hands
with her at the last gOOdhy, and then
wrote:
Fare thee well, and, if forever,
Still forever fare thee we'll!
Even though unforgiying, never
'Gainst thee shall my heart rebel.
These words were set to music and
sung with tears by young girls ali over
the English speaking world. who felt
that Lady Byron was hard hearted,
wicked wretch to So desert her grief
crushed husband. In fact, the poor
lady never saw the verses until she be-
held them in print and read with
astOnished eyes:
Fare thee we'll Thus disunited,
Torn from every nearer tie,
Scared in heart and love and blighted,
More than this l scarce can die!

pathetic songs was alternating between
