THE MICHIGAN sENAToRsHIp.

The impending conflict over the
Michigan Senatorship, between that re-
doubtable warrior, Secretary Alger, and
Hon. James Mcmillan. will doubtless
be prolific of interesting incidents
Ayers second and chief of staff is Hon.
Hazen S. Pingree, while Mr. Mcmillan
is backed and groomed by that unique
and celebrated political character,
Julius Caesar Burrows, better and more
Familiarity known as Believing julie"
1t has been intimated that President
Mckinley has side bet on Alger, but
this is probably a bit of fiction. Mr.
Mckinley has by this time a realizing
sense of Mr.. Ayers unfitness for any
Office, and in addition to champion
Ayers cause would not do the Pres
ident any good, either in Michigan or
in the country at large. Mr.. Alger
will hoe his own row. and will find
many hard clod in the furrow.

AN ANTlC OF CUPID's.

Cupid played strange prank in the
little town of Malinta, O., the other
day. Two sisters, Frances and Mary
Dipscomb, were engaged to be married,
the former to David Bendice and the
latter to Frank Benson. The arrange
ments were for a double ceremony,
and the surrounding population had
been invited and responded The min
lister was on hand, as we'll as the
guests, but when the hour for the
happy event arrived, Mary, the
youngest sister, could not be found.
After long search, she was discovered
her room, crying bitterly, and when
yfnterrogated she told, between her
sobs, that she did not love her fiance,
but was in love with her sisters. The
two sisters held hurried consultation,
the two young men were called in. the
licenses were speedily renewed upon
another basis, and the ceremonies per-
formed with but slight delay, and
everybody was happy Cupid never
played a stranger prank.

In New York City the gas compa-
MES are Offering to supply the munich
pality with gas for public purposes at
very low figures, the bid of one COM
pany being soc per 1000, and of an
other 45c, and it is asserted there is a
fair margin of profit, even at these low
prices. In this city, at the existing
rate of wages, the cost of making gas
is approximately SOC. 1t would seem
that with these New York figures be-
fore us, Wheeling should do better.

The bust" business of 1896 is des-

more in 1900 than the trust business of
to-day.-Weston Independent.
The bust business" will not and
has not worried the Democracy, be-
cause the Democracy was in no sense
responsible for it. The trust BUSH
ness" doesn't worry the Democracy,
either, because Republicanism is dis
tinctly and wholly responsible for it,
and it has grown to its present gigan-
tic proportions under the fostering care
OF the party in power, which made the
false pretense to the country of being
opposed to trust combinations. If the

publicans some sleebless nights before

Persistent advertising
Brings Success.
MORE STAGE PLAY.

The Washington Post is of the
opinion that the trusts will not be an
issue or factor in the coming national
campaign, because ''the Republicans
may be depended upon to see to it
that in all theigr platforms, local and
national, the trusts are denounced with
as much emphasis as Democrats or
Populists can work up
Doubtless Republican platform
builders will denounce the trusts; but
can they expect to thereby fool the
people once more? The trust idea, as
at present carried out, is not only a
Republican creation, pure and simple,
made possible by Republican methods
and policies, and directly fostered and
encouraged by that political organiza-
ton, but further than this, the Re-
publican party drew the bulk of its
sinews of war from the corporations
and combinations in the last campaign,
and will realize still more heavily
from that quarter in the battle to
come. Any Republican denunciation
of trusts will be taken with a grain of
salt, and will not be considered
serious by the trusts themselves. The
great body of the people will under
stand this, and may be depended upon
10 govern themselves accordingly.
The Republican party in national
convention assembled denouncing the
trusts would be a spectacle to make
voters smile.

but it shone with the light of truth and
right when the words were uttered:
When the white man governs himself
that is self governmente but when he gov
erns himself and also governs another
man, that is more than self government
that is despousm." Lincoln's speeches
ought TO be censored. Perhaps they
should be censored altogether.
