A Good Target,

A gentleman was one day having a
walk down a lane with a gun in his
hand to see what he could shoot
While he was going down he met a
little schoolboy and said to him:
"Is there anything to shoot down
here, my little boy?"
"Yes," said the boy; there's the
schoolmaster coming over the hill

In the more than five weeks that
we have been here, we have not heard
as mu ch noise and confusion around
our place, as | have heard in some
single night on the streets of Worth
ington. The old saying is, "the
deepest streams run stillest;" per-
haps it might be 80 with streams of
wickedness sometimes. There are
two churches in the place, the Con-
gregatioual and the Catholic, so that
on the Protestant side there is no
competition. There surel y is large
field for truly Christian work, as one
of the former pastors expressed it in
/ letter to me: "There is beautiful
fighting all along the line" Of
course in place like this there is a
great deal of coming and going, this
makes it exceedingly difficult to
build up any strong permanent insti:
tuition on any line, notably On the
line of church work and yet it is a
magnificent place to preach the
Gospel, you can aim yoar Scripture
shot in almost any direction and be
pretty sure of hitting something.

The Big Rapids Herald, one of the
leading Democrat journals of this sec
ton of the state, advises its party lead
ers to stop its criticism Of Gov. Pngroc
because of alleged extravaganza oxpendi-
lures in behalf of the Michigan soldiers
and to stop it at once. The people are
thoroughly in sympathy with the efforts
and expenditures ordered by Gov. Pin
gree to better in any way the condition
of the boys of our state who volunteer
in its behalf and nothing but the iney
table tendency of the Democratic party
to self decentralization through blunders
would have suggested the presentation
of such an issue at this time. Michigan
has no money to throw away, perhaps,
but our state is willing and glad to meet
any expense made necessary in prepar-
ing our troops for the war with Spai Il
and in providing them with comfortable
clothing and the best of medical care
in the camps.

Never in the history of the politics of
Michigan has there been better prospects
for the government being conducted in
the interests of the masses. 1t is an ac-

one-half of the property of the state IS
not on the tax duplicates Everything
now points to the election of the Repub-

rights to all and special privileges to
none. Make the majority as large as

The policy of the yellow and Demo
cratic journals in finding fault with the
administration on the conduct of the
war. is believed by Secretary Hay and
others to be one reason why the Spanish
commissioners are delaying the progress
of the peace negotiations. These willy
Spainards are of the opinion that a
large per cent. of the people of the
United States are opposed to President
McKinley's management Of the war,
and are also opposed to his peace policy
This they gather from the attacks made

politicians.

The placing of wool on the free list by
the Wilson bill cost the wool growers of
the United States Ss4, 900, 900 in revenue
and Sl20, 100000 in reduction of the
price of wool in four years of its opera
ton. This loss of $3.50, 200, 900 equals a
loss of $500 TO each and every family,
without single benefit. If we add to
the foregoing the whole deficiency, or
increase of the public debt during the
same period the amount apportioned TO
each family will be more than doubled,
amounting to $1,000 per family. To this
must be added the loss to the American
farmer of market for $4,000, 900 POUNDS
of wool in single year, which the for
eign wool growers have secured in our
