GRAND MARAIs. MINI. o uT. is, 1893.

In this issue will be found q commune
ication from Clous @. Monker explaining
his action in withdrawing from the race
for the Office of Judge of probate. To
the majority Of people his action is
received with considerable surprise but
to a number of his friends it was no
great surprise, fereto them Mr.. Monker
had said some time ago that should Mr..
Rindel become a candidate, he would
drop out, as he considered harmony
among his neighbors too sacred to be
disturbed by political strife, and that he
did not feel disposed to be party to
anything that would cause split in his
neighborhood. His action was purely
that Of peace-loylng citizen who is
willing to sacrifice personal interests
for the good of the community in which
he resides. His motives were of the
very best, and we feel confident his many
friends throughout the county will ex-
press their approval of his action by
complying with his request to give their
support to Mr.. Rindel, thereby ensuring
his election. At tie request of Mr..
Monker, Peter Rindel's name was placed
on the county ticket instead of Mr..
Monker's.

The condition Of affairs at the Or
phanage is such that it is absolutely
necessary for its friends to bestir them
selves iu the way Of raising funds for
its support. There has been very
great falling of in our receipts from
the date Of the declaration of war by
this government against Spain. Why
this should have affected the bcnevo-
lrnce "f the Lords people does not
appear. for there has been no cessation
of business aud no interruption Of the
regular order Of events. The sun rises
aud sets; the seasons are as propitinus
as ever. Trains como and 20. The
stores and schools and churches are all
open. Even the enlisting Of an army
ct volunteers has not appreciably af-
frcted the home population. Why,
then, should the orphans be forgotten?
is fear at the bottom Of it-fear that
the times. may be harder? Ia it the re-
suit OF more excitement over scare
heads in our daily papers2 Well, what
ever it liz. we must press home upon
the attention Of our friends the fact
that help mus. come at once, or there
will be very serious harm done to this

How Long Will 1t Last Z

Widely dissimiiar views as to the
war s probable duration are expressed
by Admiral Bancroft Gherardi and
Gen. Daniel +. Sickles. The former
does not look for q cessation of hos
tilities in less than three years. "It
is great mistake" he told recent
interviewer, "to suppose that the
Spanish are not fighters. They have
some very good ships. Our own are
much better hsadisd than it is possi-
bic for them to handle theirs, bnt
still they know how to fight their YES
sells, and we lack tremendously in the
line Of torpedo boat destroyers, OF
which Spain has eeversl eaesllens en-
amples." or course, the Admiral has
no doubt ss to the uisimsse result.
I'VE were not prepared for such o
condition OF affairs as now exists" he
said, :sbut with our resources We can
remedy the defects in our navy in re-
markably short space Of time Tho
ex-minister to Spain fixed year as the
limit Of the conflict, ard he saw but
one end to it. "The truth about sea
power" he declared in explanation of
his opinion. sis that you must be able
not only to build ships aud to make
big guns-any ono can do that--but
you must fight your ships, and there
are only swo Powers in the world to- day
which can win on the vater-England
and America" When questioned as
to tho chance that Cuba will some day
become Q part OF the United States,
Gen. Sickles eyaded the point With
some ingenuity, and propounded de-
oidedly curious theory as 20 Why We
joined 20 our declaration Ct war an ex-
plicit disavowal Of the intention 70 an

Secretary of War INDUCED in some
reminiscent conversat ON about the
late civil war, when .hey were l.ading
opposing forces in the Virginia cam
paign. Gen Alger recalled the fact
that Gen. Butler rode hite h"rse.
which made him a mark for many Of
the Michigan ri1emen. His hurse
was shot from under him, but he
escaped unharmed 1t was the rela-
ton of this incident which induced
