This is the way the Beed City papers
are giving it tos each other: "Democratic editors are all 'hot under the
collar'because the G- A. B. have taken
away the charter of Earnum (Tammany) Post, in Sew York, for lying."—
Clarion. "Bepublican editors of the
Clarion type are getting a good deal
hotter under the collar because the recent ruling of Hoke Smith is likely to
prohibit some of the anti-Eamumites
fromionger looting the national treasury under a false interpretation of the
law."—Democrat. "Does the editor
of the Democrat mean by the above
'imputation' that the Clarion editor
is 'looting' the national treasury, and
is not entitled to the small 'stipend' of
a pension that he is receiving on a
gun-shot wound, made by a better democrat than the editor of the Democrat
is, for the Southern democrat had the
courage to go xo the front and fight
for what he thought was right, while
the editor of the Democrat didn't.
Would the editor of the Democrat
have taken our place for what we received for nearly four years of service,
and for what we are receiving now?
We guess not. Then-don't have so
much to say about the XL S. treasury.

thrasher, wren, martin, oriole, woodpecker, bobolink, or any song bird, or
rob the nests of such birds, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
on conviction thereof shall b,e fined
five dollars for each bird so killed or
each nest so robbed, or confined in the
county jail ten days, or both fine and
imprisonment, at the discretion of the
court."

Chas. E. Bussell, late defeated democrat and populist candidate for circuit
judge in this district has "been appointed post-master at Mt. Pleasant, and
now Borne howls. Mneout of every
ten democrats of that city had set
their hearts on seeing H. A. Miller
knock down the quince, but Don
M.'s referee system has spoiled
their calculations. Said a good
Mt. pleasant democrat to the Sen-
ti-Tbl scribe, Wednesday: "I am a
democrat no longer. When two or
three men can run the politics for the
state it is time to quit." Miller himself says that Isabella county has
elected its last democrat. And itlooks
mighty like it. An interesting local
feature of it is the fact that'the same
kind of backing that Miller had is behind one of the strong candidates for
the Clare office.

For the red lips readin' sweetly!
O, the sweet commencement season,
With, its rhyme an' withits reason;
With, its smiles, tears, Msses, laughter,
An' its hills for cash hereafter!
