1.-THE Republicans were never in bet
ter form than this year" says the Grand
Rapids Herald "to make a clean swe, p
at the polls The prompt passage Of
the Atkinson bill by the Legislature
gave vitality and meaning to the plat
form adopted at Jackson, and the party
will 90 before the people this spring,
not only pledged to the cause OF equal
taxation, but with a record Of keeping
pledges that have been made. With
the party in the state thoroughly or
ganized and united, and with a splen-
did state ticket, the only obstacle to
majority of 100000 on election day is
overconfdepce and consequent light
vote" In this connection it is well for
our citizens to remember that election
day is soon coming and the electors of
the city will be called upon to make
choice of municipal officers for the ensu-
ing year. Party lines have heretofore
been drawn in making up the city
tickets and the same regime will un-
doubtedly be adhered to this spring.
AS yet very little talk has been made
regarding probable candidates for the
several offices. mayor, city clerk,
treasurer, justice Of the peace, school
commissioner, aldermen, supervisors
and constables are to be elected. eau
Gus calls are published this week.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS BURHANs.

The above will be the way Levi A.
Burhans will be addressed after the
election next month because he Is quail
lied for that place and is progressive,
earnest young man whose mind and
thoughts run in the line of educational
matters and toward the placing OF our
district schools on the very best basis
possible. In order to make political
capital In the interests OF the opposi-
ton candidate, reports relative TO
his record while member OF the board
of county school examiners are being
freely circulated to the effect that he
favored certain teacher with list OF
questions before the examination hour,
Mr.. Burhans refutes the statements,
denounces them as false, and has Sc
cured the following affidavit from the
teacher in question:
PORTLAND, Mich, Jan. 81, 1899.

Notary Public in and for Ionia Co.

Judge Maynard has drafted bill
and confded it TO the competent hands
of Rep. Mccall, which if it becomes a
law, will be radical departure from
existing conditions. He says that he
drafted the bill because in his expert
ence he had known many cases where
husband and wife have lived together
Ia little home for years, and when
the husband died the wife has been
turned out homeless, with only the
right to the use Of one-third of the
premises during her life, which would
not begin to provide for her a home.
On the other hand, he remembers a
case where husband, being so ill that
he expected TO die, Immediately con-
veyed his homestead to his wife, and
then, unfortunately for him, recovered,
but having perfect trust in his wife,
the property was not re conveyed.
Subsequently the wife died, leaving her
husband To be turned out OF home.
The bill proposed will cure all this.
1t provides that on the death of any
person leaving a husband or wife, and
no issue, the homestead goes to such
survivor in fee as if the same had been
held by joint deed. If there be issue,
the survivor takes life estate, with
remainder to the issue of deceased. If
this bill becomes a law, married couples
will not have TO live in fear that if one
dies the other will, or can be, turned
out of the home.-Charlotte Rep.

FILIPINO JUNTA'S LIES
HONGKONG FILIPINOS FILL UP
JAPANESE PRESS.
Lies About the United States Troops
Are Being Freely Circulated in the
Vernacular Papers.

The vernacular papers in Japan con-
tinue to publish the unfounded accu-
sations of the Hongkong Filipino Jun
ia against the United States troops.
The Nippon, under date of February
IL, has the following from Hongkong.:
American forces have suddenly fired
certain villages in the Philippines and
in Manila wholesale shooting of native
men and women has taken place. The
outrages on these helpless creatures
were beyond description. The natives
have, therefore, decided to repel the
Americans at all hazards"
The Nippon, besides stating that the
telegram has been received from a re-
liable source, says that the conduct Of
the Americans in the island against
the natives is indescribable. 1t adds
that when the L. S. S. Charleston fired
on Manila some 1900 natives, mostly
citizens and not soldiers, fell indis-
criminately under the shells.
With regard to the same matter, the
Yarodzu says that though it is gem
orally believed that the recent collision
between the insurgents and the Ameri-
can forces was caused by the former
first attacking the Americans, accord
ing to a telegram received from Hong
kong, under date of February II, the
hostilities were first opened by the
Americans, who fired shells on locali-
ties which were not defended. 1t is
also stated that the American soldiers
acted in the most disorderly manner at
Manila, shooting citizens at random
and butchering native girls and wo-
| men. Trade was accordingly brought
to a complete stoppage and the natives
were forced to be prepared to fight tc
| the last This report, adds the Yoro-
| dzu, is obtained from II trustworthy
source and it is astonishing that such
| a civilized people as the Americans
| should act in such a manner.
1t is through this insidious means
that the Filipino Junta are trying theil
utmost to prejudice people against the
United States troops. A series of Lies
like these set before ignorant and i'll
informed people will be greedily be
! lieved, and there is no means of re
futing them
