PAW PAW. MICH. MARCH 2, 1898.


AS for some time past, the destruction
of the warship Maine in the harbor OF
Havana continues TO be the principal
thing occupying the attention of the
newspapers and the public. On the one
hand, the lingo extremists demand i'm
mediate war against the Spanish, while
on the other hand the conservative, sober
thought of the American people upholds
the policy of the national administration
i'm waiting until the completion of a
most thorough and searching investiga-
ton as TO the cause of the lamentable
catastrophe, before taking any definite
steps regarding it.
The Northerner is one of those who do
not desire war with Spain or anyone else
if it can be honorably avoided, and we
would be glad indeed to know that the
destruction of the Maine was an acct
dent instead of deliberate Spanish
plot. However, the probability seems to
be that the latter was the case, and the
result of the Investigations of the court
of inquiry is anXiously awaited.
If the disaster was caused by Spanish
mine or torpedo, no time should be lost
in demanding the fullest amends from
Spain, and any delay on the part of that
nation in complying with the demands
of the United States should be followed
by such naval and military expeditions
as should be necessary to enforce it,
There is class of hot heads in the
country, who demand war no matter
what amends Spain may be willing to
make, saying that no indemnity can
atone for the death of the brave American
seamen who lost their lives at Havana.
While that is true, it is difficult to under
stand how any better atonement can be
secured by sacrificing more brave Ameri-
can lives in a useless war, at the end of
which nothing more than an indemnity
could be secured. Spain can make no
other amends She cannot give back
life. If all that the United States could
hope to secure by war, can be secured as
promptly through peaceful methods, in
the name of humanity let not this, the
boosted most enlightened nation on
earth, be the one to inaugurate war
against an adversary who is willing to
concede all our demands without blood
she'd
We believe the national administration
can be relied upon to avoid war if it can
be honorably done, or to prosecute war
vigorously if it shall be proven necessary
to fight.

RESOURCES.
LIABILITIES,

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all diseases combined
and until the last few years was suppos-
ed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by r. j. Cheney q
Co., Toledo, o., is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internal
BY in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system They
offer one hundred dollars reward for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

THE Courier seems to doubt our state
ment that the grand jury was called be
cause the free silver supervisors asked
for it. Now we do not pretend to under
stand the inmost thoughts of Judge
Buck, and cannot tell his motives oil
reasons for calling the grand jury, except
by what he says and we believe him tc
be absolutely truthful. In the call for
the grand jury, he says he called it on
petition of 10 members of the board OF
supervisors and even the Courier has
too much regard for truth to accuse Ia
of them of being anything else than
silver supervisors"

THE Courier in its issue of last week
openly charges the officers of this county
with neglect of their official duties,
and follows its charge with a demand
couched in the following language: "Give
us officers hereafter who will do their
whole duty" Such an accusation as
that made by our contemporary is very
serious one, and should not be lightly
made. We have been quite familiar with
the public affairs of this county for
number of years, and have been, and are
yet, under the impression that we have
a capable and efficient lot of county off
GERS, men who do not neglect their duty.
Ii the Courier knows anything to the
contrary, it should hasten to place its
evidence before the public. 1t certainly
does not intend to charge all county of
ficials with being derelict, and in the
name of fairness the Courier should
speak right out and tell what it does
mean. liz ANY PUBLIC OFFICIAL HAS
NEGLECTED HIS DUTY, THE PEOPLE ARE
ENTITLED TO KNOW 1T. No responsible,
reputable and decent newspaper would
venture to make such charge unless it
was able and willing to prove it. 1t is
now in order for the Courier to substan-
tate its charges or else be classed a con
scienceless poltroon.

EVERY citizen has duty to perform
not only on election day, but in the
primaries preceding it, when the nomin-
atoms of his party are made. 1t is in the
primaries that the first decision is made
as to the character of public officials
1t makes no difference whether the
caucus is for the village merely, or fol-
SOME purpose involving larger results
and higher offices, the good citizen
should be interested and should show
his interest by his presence. The citizen
who never goes to the caucuses" has
neglected an important and powerful
opportunity for exerting salutary polit
zeal influence.

people who have never had it. Any one
who has ever had even the slightest
touch of la grippe knows well the com

misery for the time being. but unless
properly treated its sequella follow it
month after month until the patient
despairs of ever getting well again

Lonesome CoIored Prisoner at the
Central Station.
In carefully guarded cell at the central
police station last evening a lone prisoner,
of dark-hued skin, sat with bowed head and
speculated upon the cause Of his arrest. He
was not supposed to be under arrest so far as
the outside world was concerned, as his name
did not appear on the station tab, nor was he
chargetbAvith any offense.
The young mulatto was gathered up yes
terday morning by "Sleuth" Wells. He was
given no explanation Of why he was deprive /
Of his liberty nor could inquiry at the station
disclose who he was or Of what he YVES
suspected.
The. fact is, however. Judging from the
direction of Detective Wells efforts OF the
recent past that the young negro in some
slight way resembles some of the printed
pictures on the reward cards sent out ask
ing for the detention of some alleged Grim
inal-and of course offering a reward to the
successful fly bob who may round up the
culprit.
