u The Republican Committee of Mississippi
publish an address, formally abandoning the Re-
publican organization in that State. They say
that they have 10000 majority in the State, but,
endorsing the policy of Hayes, and desiring peace
above party, they yield to the minority, and
henceforth will not be known as party in poll
tics. We wonder whether this terrible thrust
will pierce through Hayes hide or whether he
will receive it as a compliment and an endorse

n 1t is a little remarkable, that whenever a
new paper is started in town where there is an
old-established paper, the former imagines that


it is just slaughtering the latter fearfuIly. They
always have a set number of subscribers that the
old paper has lost in a given length of time. A
couple of weeks ago, the concern up over tho sa-
loon announced that the Chiefs list had fallen
off two hundred since that affair started; and
about the same time, the Leavenworth Press
made the announcement that the Times had lost
two hundred subscribers in q week. But the
meanest part of it is, that the papers that are
losing so heavily don't seem TO mind il q bit.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN WHINING
TON is asking to be saved from its friends
The leaders of one of the greatest temper
ance reforms ever witnessed in this State
have suddenly, while the eyes of Delaware
were upon them, turned aside from their
noble reformation and are now waging the
war of the Kilkenny cats. The men who
have achieved such results in the cause
of temperance have become as intemper-
ate of tongue and pen as their noble army
of ribbon men used to be with the decan-
ter and the toddy stick. For shame gentle
men!


When this movement was organized last
April, under the lead of such untiring men
as Geo. W. Wells and others, it received
only casual glances from beyond the city
limits at first. But when inebriates sober
ed down and went to the meetings to relate
their bitter experiences when hundreds
nightly signed the pledge; when the meet
ings were too big for the church and had
TO seek hall and tent and street corner
when the news came that 5, 6, 1000 people
had put their names to the temperance
roll within few weeks; when reformed
men organized a ribbon band to push the
work when Democratic leaders like Es
quire Frazer, Councilman McIntire and ex
Councilman Quinn took hold of the move
ment-when all these influences came
sweeping down the State they we're irresist
table. They constituted temperance tidal
wave that swept every town in the State
into line.


But now the men who warmed this grea
result into life are at issue between them
selves and their unseemly conduct fall
like a wet blanket upon the cause they 81
successfully stimulated. Mr.. Wells is &C
cused of being the "bull in the chin
shop" With zeal in the temperanc
cause that few have shown, and with al
energy that overcomes the most sleep,
apathy, he nevertheless brings to the worl
a degree of selfish dictation that seems t
cloud his better impulses. We refer t
State items for details.

Josh Billings never said a truer thing than when he asserted that ito do q mean thing IS bad enough, but to brag of it is devclish.' There are young men in this and every community, who would perhaps never be guilty of anything very disreputable if they could only get the reputation of being rough" without really engaging in any. thing bad. For such there is but little hope {; the boy who, when he is guilty of bad ac- ton, has sense and ambition enough to be ashamed of it may, and most likely will make man of himself; but the ninny who IS proud of his low associations, and seeks to be considered worse than he really is, lacks the common sense that is requisite to manhood, and the earlier he breaks his neck the better it is for him and those who feel an interest in him.

J Explanatory.


A word of explanation is I'm order.
We issue an extra number of the NORTH
ERN TRIBUNE to-day for the purpose of
giving the notice legally required for an
election of officers for the village of Che
boygan under the new charter. The
law requires that the notice of election
shall be published i'm newspaper at
least two weeks before the day of hold
ing the election, which is provided to
take place on the second Tuesday i'm
April. For the reason that the pro-
visions of the new law were not very
generally understood, and it was not
known positively that the bill had be-
come law, the notice of the election
was not published last week. 1t had to
be published to-day, Or we would lose
thC OCbCntS VI lilC tlCW law AOISC
issue of the TRIBUNE. That it hardly
comes up to the standard which we have
established, we admit, but it was gotten
up on six or seven working hours no
tice. But it will fulfill the law and save
to the village the benefits of the revised

charter, and that was the aim. The elec-
ton notice will be found in another col
umn, to which we call the attention of
of every reader. 1t will be noticed that
the law calls for the election of all new
officers, and it is to be hoped that our
citizens will see to it that none but the
best men are put i'm these positions. so
that in after years it may be sail that
ChebOygan commenced new life and
a new era of prosperity in the spring of
