Elsewhere in this issue is a call by

meet at G- A. B,. hall. Wednesday evening, April 25th, for the purpose of taking proper steps toward the suitable

A labor riot in Detroit, .Wednesday,
in which 500 Poles attacked about a
dozen foremen and police, resulted in
the death of two of the mob • while
nearly a score of others on both sides
were severely injured and of whom
some may die. The riot was wholly
without excuse and was brought on by
the Poles themselves, and only adds
another instance of the danger of the
foreign element colonized in this country. In this instance the Poles had
struck'for $1.50 a day for work on
water works extension. They.were offered $1.25. The water board, unable
to get them to work, attempted to remove the tools and other appliances
from the ditches. The strikers incited
by two or three of their "liberty loving" leaders, attacked the foreman.
Some day American's will be educated

cast before swine."
We publish Governor Rich's proclamation elsewhere in which he names
April 27th as Arbor day, and enjoins
its observance upon all the citizens of
the stater The custom of planting
trees and shrubbery about our homes
and along our highways is growing in
favor year by year, for it appeals to
every motive of the human heart.
Hot only does the observance result
in pleasure and comfort to the planter,
but it is in the ■ interest Of public**-
health: for trees molify the-rigors of
winter and lessen the drouth: of summer. It is an act of kindness to posterity. It is an act of patriotism,
since it is, in a sense, a gift to the
commonwealth—the commfm [ good.
One of the things that characterizes
the villages and homes of our eastern
states and causes the mind of the wanderer to return with pleasure to its
early associations, are the wood-embowered cottage and the shaded walks.
They are an oasis,' to which he ; would
fain return from the desert of. brick
and wood of our newer towns. ; Then
plant a tree; you owe it to ypurbelf, to
your children, and to the state, i Under
your "own vine and fig tree1^ you will
have your reward.

RESOLUTIONS BY THE G. A. R. POST.
Whereas, During the recent municipal campaign which terminated ha
the"election of Comrade Isaac Harris
as City.Treasurer, some evil disposed
persons, with intent to injure our "comrade, if possible, to secure his defeat,
circulated reports reflecting upon his
character and competency, • therefore,
Resolted, That we rejoice in the
fact that the aforesaid reports failed
of their manifest purpose and that the
people vindicated our comrade by his
election to a high position of trust,
and,
Resolted, Further, that, as a Post
we unqualifiedly condemn the tactics
used against Comrade Harris, apd assure him of our confidence, His duties
as quartermaster and adjutant of" our
Post have been performed with fidelity and strict honesty, and his bearing
among us has always been that iof an
upright soldier and citizen; we;consid-
er Ms success a triumph of trut',11 over
falsehood.
