From Grand Rapids Herald
1t is given out a year in advance that
the democrats will take an antitrust
stand for the next campaign, and doubt
less this is correct diagnosis of the
democratic intent. With "smash the
trusts" as their slogan. and ''dOwn with
the monopolists" as their watchword,
the democratic organs and orators will
have even greater opportunities for the
perfervid than in the last campaign,
when the atmosphere was laden with
their lamentations for the crime of '73.
With antitrust as their issue, we may
expect all sorts of appeals to passions
and prejudice, and it will be cam
paign, on the democratic side, that will
be utterly devoid of reason or logic.
But one phase of the situation seems
not to have occurred to the brethren,
and which more than anything else will
render their appeals unavailing. This
particular phase is contained in history
so recent that but to mention the cir
cumstances will be sufficient. In 1892
the democrats went before the people
with promises of unlimited prosperity
on free trade basis. They carried the
day, and we all know the result. Three
years ago they predicted calamity un'
ending if free silver was not adopted as
the national financial policy. Free
silver was emphatically turned down
and the country is today blooming as a
garden with industry happy and com
MERGE on the boom. In the next cam
paign the democrats will not have q
word to say regarding the tariff, and nc
greater mention will be made of free
silver than such as may be necessary to
"hold the silver vote" The entire
strength of the campaign will be thrown
upon the antitrust issue, and it will be
discounted from the very start by rec
objections of the dismal failures that at
tended the promises and predictions Of
the party leaders in so recent past
that everybody remembers them. BY
their silence regarding them the demo
Gratis will virtually repudiate the IRE
forms" they pinned their faith on before,
and by their votes the people will show
that they take little stock in the new
reform" that the democracy will rep
resent. There will be neither sincerity
nor honesty in the democracy's anti
trust movement 1t will simply be q
decoy to catch votes.

90 home with their machines that they
are going home to the most indepen'
dent place on earth.
Representative Jos. w. Fordney was
then introduced by Toastmaster Had
sail with the suggestion that the people
had shown by big majority last fall
that they wanted him to represent them
in congress and with the remark that it
was their duty to stand by and assist
the man whom they had chosen. Mr..
Fordney, after this allusion to his ma
jority, thanked those present for his
share in it and suggested that as it was
late ard he not much of speaker he
should not detain them long; he didn't
believe that they wished to hear anoth-
er speech anyway. He had to tell a
story on Mr.. Norton, however, in rela-
ton to his farming ability. He had
asked Mr.. Norton one day about his
farming experience and the latter
promptly replied by telling him of an
instance when in disagreement one
man had made his neighbor swallow a
cent which he had in his mouth. Nor
ton was called on by the latter man
who wanted to know if he hadn't case
for damages against the other. Well,
Norton said, ~ didn't recover the cent
for him but made him cough up ten
dollars" This may not have been
properly vouched for, however, but
with few more remarks of congratula
ton to the farmers that they were able
to buy so much more machinery even
than last year Mr.. Fordney thanked his
listners and sat down.
Mr.,J. w. Hubbard then made few
remarks, thanking the Mccormick peo-
pie for the entertainment they had re-
ceiyed and proposed three cheers for
their entertainers. The company then
broke up and at once began forming
for the parade.

the company assembled in the dining room.

The decorations of the house were not

the floral features of the dining room. The
presents were unusually numerous and
elegant, including handsome painting by
the brides cousin, Mr.. Fred G. Frieseke,

Both Mr.. and Mrs Allison have long been

Wednesday evening, June Z, 1899, has
come and gone, and though this may sound
like trite and uDimportant remark to the
majority. of our Owosso readers, 1t Is any
thing. but unmportant to the membs re- of
the large \ class in the Owosso high school
who for four years have been looking for
ward to the event which took place that
night-when they should graduate and
should receive the coveted diplomas. Incl
dentally, stOo, the lead which has been re-
moved from the minds of watchful and anx-
ious parents and other members of the
families of the graduates is not so insig-
nificant as tosmake the passing of the day
of merely ordinary importance in this city.

troll. The tension produced by an ambi-
ton to do the work thoroughly, and per-
haps still further increased by friendly
rivalry, has now been relaxed and In most
cases 1t is probably best that 1t should be
relaxed, for time at least. Perhaps few
of the class of '99 who never 90 on for a
collegiate course will ever experience a
more continuous strain than have the am.
bilious and hard working members of the
class during the:course they have just end

rest, after taking inventory of their abilities
and inclinations. or to use another figure,
after taking their bearings, they will find
that while their work may be far different,
yet after all to secure success in any line
will demand the same strain, the same ten
sion, and the same outstanding of their
mental and physical resources, as has their
work in school. But first let them enjoy
the rest and change to the utmost. Let
them be sure they have all the strength
which rightfully belongs to them before
they begin serious work of any sort.

PERSISTENT BEGGAR.
Complaints Made Against an An
noying Fellow.

A complaint is made that a profess
Slonal beggar is going around town So
1crt1ng money from people, especially
Germans. His name is Won Hartung
He is about 40 years of age, wears a
moustache and goatee, gray coat and
black trousers He claims to be
teacher, but sometimes says he is a
preacher. He says he wants to estab-
llsh a school to teach German. He
gets money by exciting sympathy.
The man came here from Reno about
a year ago, lay around for some weeks
and then disappeared. He abuses those
who have aided him and refuse to "re-
peat and goes about reviling them
He is we'll and able to work but has not
sought it, preferring to beg for money.
He has no particular tale of woe, but
manages to enlist sympathy, and thus
get money which he spends for whisky.
Several days ago Special Officer Car
roll arrested him, but as there was no
charge laid against him he was re-
leased
