COMRADES. DO YOUR DUTY.

CoMRADES:-Never since the Rebel
lion have the different political con-
ventions selected and placed upon our
ticket the names OF so many comrades
from our ranks. After 80 years of
peace our patriotism, ability and integ-
rity in the management of the affairs
of state is still most signally recognized
from top TO bottom OF the list More
than one-third Of the ticket is made up
of our comrades and surely we owe to
ourselves and TO them as comrades our
hearty support. Every comrade in our
county, able for duty, should report
upon the Sth and sign the political
muster roll without "a scratch. There
has been no time in the past since our
field work when our comrade, the com
mander in chief, expected and looked
for more from us than at the present
time. Most sincerely yours,
FRANK II. CHASE.

SUPPORT THE LECTURE COURSE

|
The Lecture Course committee are
not satisfied financially with the result
oil their efforts. They made a success
OF the course last year rs far as money
was concerned, that is, came out even.
This year they have engaged better
talent, hoping the people would appre-
ciate their efforts in giving them eight
splendid entertainments for $l.00. They
have spent both time and money to
make the course success.
They find now that eight less season
tickets were presented at the door than
last year at the first entertainment
This does not seem much until one
knows that the whole course costs $50
more than last year; then one sees. the
result of trying to give good educa-
tional, mental and moral feature for
little money 1t certainly is not right
that the course has not had better sup
port It's mutual plan, the better it
is sustained the better it will be the
following year. Still if it cannot be at
least self sustaining, no one will be
willing to yearly put up money for the
benefit of others. Do not think when
you buy ticket that your duty is done.
If you enjoy the course as you expect
to and as you will, you owe it to your
self and to the course to get others to
buy. Let us all take hold and do what
we can for the course. We certainly
do not want it said that Beldiug does
nos appreciate such good thing as a
good lecture course. Let us all take
hold and do what we can for the course.
Considering The low cost IL is the very
best mutual improvement plan we can
get.

1t was hoped and expected that sim
gle tickets to all concerts and lectures
might be sold at % cents. Now to
make the loss as small as possible, it
will be necessary to sell single tickets
to the Ladies symphony Orchestra at
50 cents and to the Ariel Ladies Quar-
tette at 35 cents. For the lectures they
will remain at % cents. Tickets for
the remainder of course, seven num-
bers, are on sale at 80 cents. Should
the receipts be sufficient, another first
class concert will be engaged, making

Last Thursday night there was a
meeting of our citizens at Train S
Opera House in the interest of the H..
& II. II. r. extension. The meeting
was addressed by M. G. Bundy who
gave short history of the road as it
stands today set forth the prospects for
its extension north and south. The
southern extension will be from Free
port TO Hastings where it will strike
the Kalamazoo, Saginaw q Mackin aw
road to the south and the Michigan
Central, trunk line, east and west
and via the X, S. & M. little south
of Hastings Will reach the Lake Shore
giving competl ng connections east over
four lines. The l.. & II. officials are
meeting with so much opposition where
they expected cooperation that they
may decide, in fact they are seriously
considering the adoption of the old
Fallasburg route, instead of crossing
Flat river south of the bridge to the
west side of the village. This route
has had many warm advocates, it is
over four miles shorter and not more
expensive to build, besides this there
are several undeveloped water powers
on Flat river between here and Smyrna
which, its advocates assert, give more
promise of future business than does
the west side route so called Lowell
Journal.
Senator George +. Hoar of Massachu-
setts, speaking OF the possessions taken
from Spain, says: "And in my opinion
we are today in great danger-a
greater danger than we have encoun-
tered since the pilgrims landed at
Plymouth. The danger is that we are
TO be transformed from republic
founded on the declaration of indepen-
dence, guided by the counsels of Wash
ington, into vulgar, commonplace
empire founded upon physical force.
It is said that Porto Rico is already
ours. 1t may be that Porto Rico is TO
become ours, but there is no authority
under the constitution OF the United
States, to acquire any foreign territory,
save by treaty approved by the SEN
ate by two-thirds vote or by an act
of legislation in which the president,
the house OF representatives and the
senate must unite. 1t is said the Phil
ippine islands are already ours by the
right of conquest. For one, deny this
right of conquest. Human beings
men, women, children, peoples-are
not To be won as spoils OF war or prizes
in battle. 1t may be that such doc
trine finds place in the ancient and
barbarious laws Of war, but it has no
place under the American constitution.
IL has no place in the code Of morals OF
the people OF the United States"

Gen. Greedy said.
When emergency arose I was given
