1t may be question whether the ed

and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save
hours Of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in de-

a cure, but we do believe that if a bot

THE GRAND RAPIDS HERALD.

Among the dailes of Michigan the
Grand Rapids Herald is entitled TO
high rank. 1t is certainly the best
morning republican paper il not the
leading republican paper in the state.
As result of It's loyalty TO the princi-
plies of the republican party, combined
with It's enterprise as "a newspaper, it
enjoys an ever increasing circulation
circulation that among its class,
morning papers) is now probably Sec
ond only TO the Free Press, of Detroit.
The Herald as newspaper is thor.
oughly up-to-date. In addition to the
very valuable service of the Associated
Press, its state news service from spec
ial correspondents is becoming better
every month. It's corps of special cor
respondents embraces not only western
Michigan but the state capitol, the
state metropolis and the national CAPT
tol as well. Nothing that is going on
escapes their vigilent eyes. Its enter
prise as a local state newspaper was
best evidenced by the reports of the
republican state convention, that were
published in its columns last week. 1t
is not saying too much, to state that
the reports of the convention published
~ WIZ - ~ oib NNIC anu
complete than were published in any
other newspaper. not excepting any OF
the Detroit dailies. The Herald is the
only newspaper in the state that on the
morning of the second day of the con-
vention, prophecied the nomination of
Colonel A. Il. Bliss for governor. The
remainder of the state ticket was also
accurately foretold with but one ex-
ception.
The Sunday editions of the Herald
are usually news and literary gems. In
its various instructive features, its
stories, its illustrations, its correspon-
dence, etc, it is entitled to rank along
side the magazines, containing as it
does quite as much matter.
The average issue of the Daily and
Sunday Herald now exceeds $4,000
copies and the Semi Weekly Herald
has more than 5000 regular subscrib-
ers. The S6mi-Weekly has been gain.
ing ground very rapidly during the
past year or two, particularly among
the farmers of the Fifth Congressional
district and western Michigan. 1t is

The Court OF Honor, a society well
known in Michigan, has made provi.
sion for an emergency fund Its laws
have been amended by providing for
the levying of twelve assessments a
year whether needed or not, and for
scaling the certificates Of all persons
hereafter admitted to membership who
die within two years, the surplus to go
towards establishing an emergency
fund. We believe that every order
should provide for a surplus fund, and
while we favor the first change when
1t appears necessary, we are not in
favor OF the scaling Of the certificates,
or post norton deduction plan. We
think it much better to raise the rate
of assessments, that to add to the sur
plus, through means, which seems TO
US unfraternal and unjust.

ment was not on the whole, good.
It was too extravagant and expen-
sive but it did not lack activity and
push to accomplish the work. Had
it not been for their unusually
large expenditures in directions
which might have been saved it
seems to many that their efforts to
build the road through to an East
ern connection would have been sue
cessful. Prior to the Oregon Pacific
railroad going into the hands OF
a receiver, Willamette valley news
papers were constantly united in
urging the improvement Of the har-
Dor, giving the vast benefits that
the results thereof were to the peo-
Pile. Since the advent of the re-
ceivership sea rcely any of the news
papers have said anything about
it. With proper and necessary
efforts the improvement of va
quina halbor, connected with the
building of the railroad to an East
ern connection would save the
people OF Oregon a great deal, be-
come material factor in building
up the state, ana the railroad
system connected Herewith finally
become a paying investment.
