LET TIE PEOPLE DO THEIR OWN
THINKING.

About the most sensible mention we
have noticed on the political situation
In the Republican party In Michigan
was made by Editor Mason Of TIE
Gladstone Delta ia last weeks issue.
IL is a. follows
..Gov Warner has Legislature On
his hands still and a very pretty guar
rel has arisen between the two branches
Of the state government. II Is dispute
that does not seem 10 concern third
parties. The governor. like old d.
johnson. seems to think the executive
cannot have too mucn power, SIT
no. sir The boxers, as they are call
cd by those who do not admire them,
are otherwise minded. The real TACT
is that both are oyerofiicious- we
have too much legislation and hear too
much Of IT, The best government is
seldom felt and more seldom seen and
heard. Such government Is perhaps
not possible in the present condition OF
society; but the constant strainirg OF
politicians after sensation and notority
shows an evil tendency in what is cal
led craftsmanship. The mass OF man
kind wishes TO be left TO speed the
plow and TO sit under its vine and
tig tree. unmolested 10y those greedy OK
power. such an arcadian state has
never long existed any where, in any
age. The jewellers under the hg tree
have always awakened too late TO lind
that those to whom they have commit
ted the ordering of affairs, are order
ing them for their own benefit. Then
IL the fig tree folk are OF the right
spirit, there is trouble for the ambi-
tious trustees Of power.
It is the duty of the ex-
executive 10 execute the law as he finds
il and otherwise keep himself to
himself and not NEEDLE with the
duties Of other functionaries. A med
ding executive is political calamity /;
II is sad to record that the United
States has more than one.
