The Senatorship.

K. j. Cook, Shiawassee county farmer,
brother of A. j. Cook, late of the Agricul-
tural College, is candidate for state senator
of this district. The State Republican un-
derstands that he ha, the cordial and I'M
divided support Of his county. Mr.. Cook
is not candidate of his. own voltion, but
is proposed by the farmers club of Shia-
wassee county, of which he is an active
member. Indeed, he he has been presi-
dent of the Farmers clubs of the state, and
Is gentlemen of the highest integrity and
standing. There Is an idea among the re-
publicans in our neighboring county that
they are entitled to the senator this year, in
view of the tact that Ingham's candidate
announces that he Is not in the race fol-
another term, although by party usage he
would possibly be accorded second noml-
nation. The point to settle, therefore,
seems to be: Which county is entitled to
the honor? Is there written or unwritter
law touching the case? State Republican

The man who wants the PHILIPPINES to
have independence and who sees imperial
ism in the air because the American
people are compelling the PHILIPPINES to
recognize their rightful and sovereign
power, is the same man who refused the
same right of self government to the
democratic party. The half civilized
PHILIPPINE is competent in the mind of
Bryan to govern himself, but the demo-
cratic party in this enlightened country of
ours needs to have its pathway marked out
for 1t and then be led along that pathway
by an imperial dictator in opposition to the
wishes of over eighty out of every hundred
Of its members. Truly the democratic car
is quite complimentary to the intelligence
of the membership of his own party!

KANSAS CITY PLATFORM CLAIR.
FLED.

The Same Thing IN Condensed Form
We, the Representatives Of the demo
cratic party in Convention assembled,
do denounce the sound money and ex
pansion principles of Jefferson and
Jackson and affirm the dogmas of pop
ulists, socialists and mugwumps. We
oppose Imperialism, except Mr.. Bryan's
dictatorship, and declare that govern.
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed-therefore
we mean to help Aguinaido, supported
by minority of the Tagalos, to impose
his government upon the eighty
other PHILIPPINE tribes against their will
PORTO RICO.
We hold that the constitution follows
w. j. Bryan. We denounce the re.
publican treatment of Porto Rico in
levying nominal tariff tax of per
cent instead of the more onerous inter-
nal revenue taxes which our plan would
have involved; for appropriating mil
lions for the benefit of it's people, and
for feeding the destitute among them
with government rations
The Porto Ricans are satisfied with
the degree of self government accorded
them, but we object, We feel that the
supreme court needs our advice about
this.
CUBA
We demand the fulfillment of our
pledge to Cuba, now in progress.
THE PHILIPPINES.
The administrations Philippine pol
icy involved unnecessary wa; no war
is necessary if one of the prospective
belligerents runs away. What do we
care for few hundred Americans MUIR
dered, more or less? Besides, greedy
commercialism will pay, and we want
no prosperity. Our mills are RIM six
months in year to supply the home
market, and that is enough. If labor
is employed it will not support our
ticket. We are forninSt the oppression
of the dark races, except by us in the
south and again interfering with the
harmless Tagalos in their playful eff
forts to massacre Europeans and the
other native tribes.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
If European powers invade American
countries the celebrated war hero, Col
w. j. Bryan will suppress them in per-
son.
MILITARISM.
We need no army. A large proper
ton of us believe that the police should
also be disbanded.
TRUSTS.
We denounce all trusts, except the
Tammany ice trust. Corporations
should be made to show that they have
no water in their stock. We are OPP
posed to water for either internal or
external USE
TARIFF.
We condemn the Dingley tariff, un-

Forty Years Among Cannibals

The French adventurer who was CAP
tive among cannibals in Central Africa for
forty years, has decided to write a book,
which will no doubt prove interesting. We
can sympathize with his release from his
terrible captivity, which must have been as
joyous as that of a man who finds himself
suddenly released from the captivity of a
refractory stomach by that peerless remedy,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has done
more to promote health than any other in
existence. This is the medicine to take, II
you are sufferer from dyspepsia, consti-
patton, indigestion, biIliousness. nervous
ness or insomnia. Don't fail to give il a
erial. Ask for Hostetters's and do not ac-
cept substitute. The genuine has Private
Revenue Stamp over the neck of bottle.

Burton Farmers' Club.

The August meeting was held on the
I'd at the home of Mr.. and Mrs James
Post, in Owosso township.
In the absence of the president, Mr..
r. Q. Shepard, called the meeting to
order and the usual opening exercises
were gone through with. About this
time President Love put in an appear
ance and took charge. Most of the
members were present and visitors
came from all directions.
In considering the question, "Who is
to blame for poor bread, the farmer
who raises the wheat, the miller who
makes the -four, or the woman who
makes the bread? all admitted that the
woman was all right; the farmer might
be at fault for raising poor wheat, and
no millers being present we gave them
credit for being most to blame, while
some said the men who eat the bread
might take share.
Mr.. Rowell said we should give the
boys and girls day off, now and then;
they would like home better for it.
During the dinner recess the talk
about the best binder, the best haying
tools, ETC., showed where the mems
thoughts were, while politics broke out
little.
Mrs. Mason told how to make bread
from electric yeast perhaps we will
try some at our next meeting.
Mr.. Frank Post read selection en-
titled 1.-The World of Chance"
The election of officers resulted as
follows: Pres, c. G. Rowell; vice
Pres, Mrs. VIM. Giles; Sec, Mrs. H. A.
Mason; Rec. Sec, Miss Sylvia Guilford;
Rep, G. r. Woodin.
The subject of forest conditions and
their relation to farming was discussed.
Mr.. Love said we should set trees to pro-
tect our homes and that forests should
be preserved.
Miss Guilford read extracts from the
Michigan Farmer, showing the neces-
sity of protecting the forests.
The next meeting is to be held at
Hic kory Grove, home of MIR. aud Mrs.
Mason. Subject to be discussed, "What
is the best and cheapest way to harvest
corn and corn fodders" Speakers,
Messrs. Giles, Woodin and Rowell.

The Rev DR.. d. z. Sheffield, president
of the North China College and Mission a,
Tung-chau, near Pekin, was In America
when the Boxer riots began, but imme-
diately prepared to return to his post. Be-
fore sailing from San Francisco, late in
June, he learned of the burning of his
llege. DR.. Sheffield left behind him the
manuscript of an article which will appear
in the September Century under the title of
"The Influence of the western World on
China" AS a result of the authors thirty
years experience as missionary, he is
said to argue strongly against the dismem-
beIment of the Middle Kingdom. Equally
timely will be a paper by r. Van Bergen in
the same number, on 1.-The Revolution in
in China and its Causes" The fiction of
the September magazine will include a
char acteristic story of about 10000 words
by John Luther Lopg-"The Prince of

IMPERIALISM IMPOSSIBLE.

Ex-Governor Boyd, Democrat, of Ne
braska, Says Cry is Far Fetched-Em-
phasizing of Sixteen to One Plank
Pronounced Sheer Idiocy.
James e. Boyd, who enjoys the disrinc-
ton of being the only democratic governor
that Nebraska ever had and who has always
stood high 10 the councils of the democrat
party, having also been member of the
national committee from Nebraska, evil
IDENTIFY does not find it easy to reconcile
himself to number of the doctrines which
the dictator Bryan forced into the demo-
cratic national platform Neither the free
silver nor the antimperialism plank seems
to offer any attractions for him. In an in
terview last week he is reported as saying:
"The greatest mistake Bryan ever made
was to require the Kansas City convention
10 reiterate the 16 to silver free coinage
plank. He emphasized 1t beyond all Others,
thus doing what the republicans would
have him do. 1t will cause Bryan's defeat
under heavier majOrities than were given
four years ago. 1t was sheer idiocy.
Money was never so plentiful and the in
terest rate never so low. Prices of farm
products were never better, and the pro-
ducers are getting gold money for their pro-
ducts. Prosperity, everywhere In evidence,
cannot be talked down. 1t may not De due
to Mckinley, but 1t is possible under the
policy for which Mckinley stands.
81 have never said intended to vote for
Mckinley. l may not vote for presidential
electors at all. With America Imperialism
<...fs sw -
territory ever since the government wss
founded, yet this is not an empire. To say
that new territory, added from time to time,
will be followed by the reclamation OF an
emperor to rule over us Is absurd. Bryan
may deceive some of the people by his far
retched cry of imperialism, but the scare
will not be of long duration"

city attorney and police Judge 75 per
cent, and other officers from % to 80

uer which wages nave Deen the hlgheS
ever paid.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
We favor an interstate commerce
law that will bust the hated railroads
Let them do business at a loss, or lei
people walk. Without the railroads
there would be no west, and the west il
against us.
MONEY.
We are still for silver, and the ratio
of 10 to l, and are opposed to the golden
rule. Coxey is our ideal financier. The
longer we live the less we know. We
want to borrow gold and pay in 40 cen,
silver dollars. We denounce the re.
publican currency law as a step for
ward. We stand. like our peerless
leader, "just where we did four years
ago"
ELECTION OF SENATORS.
We favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people in states with republican legis
latures.
INJUNCTIONS.
We oppose government by injunction
the courts should not interfere with
lawlessness. We applaud the maltreat.
ment of women and the other outrages
of the st. Louis strike as illustrating
the practical workings of our theory.
PENSIONS
We are proud of the American SOL
diers and sailors. and favor liberal pen.
sions to them and their dependents.
We are placing the latter in a position
to secure pensions by our encourage.
ment of Aguinaldo.
NICARAGUA CANAL.
We favor the immediate construction,
ownership and control of the Nicaragua
Canal by the United States, and so do
Americans of all parties.
TERRITORIES.
We denounce the failure of the re-
publican party to grant statehood to
the territories. We believe that II
the influx of fugitives from justice con-
tinues they can be made democratic
states.
IRRIGATION.
We favor an intelligent system of
irrigating the arid lands of the west.
Our idea of an intelligent system is to
carry water from the great lakes, in
buckets.
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
We favor the exclusion of the Chi
nese and other Asiatics. With their
experience of life in silver using coun-
tries they can never be brought to vote
our ticket.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Jefferson said: Friendship with
all nations, entangling alliances with
none" We maintain that, not content
with the presidents offer to mediate in
the interests of the Beers when no
other nation would do so, we should
entangle ourselves in their affairs and
involve the United States in war.
SHIPPING SUBSIDY.
We denounce the lavish appropria-
tions of congress. The good old demo-
catic expedient of reputation is
cheaper. We oppose subsidies to Am.
erican ships because our illconcealed
democratic alliance with England
makes us desire to save her from this
country's competition for the carrying
trade of the world.
Our institutions are in peril. The
country can only be saved by giving us
the offices. Washington was good
man in his day, but it is Aguinaldo and
Croker that we now look mp to. We
are opposed to everything and against
everybody.

come tax and expressing sympathy with
the Boxers were accidentally omitted.

In recent interview Gen. John NJ

for president In '96 declared: shall vote
for Major Mckinley. Populism Is unsafe,
and MIR. Bry all is the high priest of that
faction. faction that is already strong
enough to menace the best interests of q
safe government. Populism has grown
strong and wonderfully dangerous. Mr..
Mckinley has the confidence of the best
interests of the country. In another in
terview Mr.. Palmer said: The cry of
imperialism will win him no votes to
amount to anything. It's false alarm.
THIS country is not nor are Mr.. Mckinley
and his followers believers in Imperialism
Cuba will be under sel'-goverDment in a
little Whit, and the PHILIPPINES will be
governed as best the administration can.
Mr.. Mckinley has the confidence of the
best interests of the country. He is not
an unsafe leader. l differ with him on
many material questions concerning the
welfare of the whole people, but between
him and Bryan there Is but one course.
If Mr.. Bryan were president and controlled
the legislative branches, too, this country
would be thrown in panic which would
require months to check and years to
heal.
