It has been suggested that Thos. E.

$150 of Turner & Co's. funds is lodged

What was supposed to be a cat, ran
down the aisle of a church near Wal-
dron, and naturally, when the animal
reached the pulpit, the clergyman
gave it a kick and landed the supposed-
to-bo feline in the midst of the congregation. . It then became odiferiously
evident fiat that oat was a skunk. The
congregation was dismisied without
prayer.—Reading Hustler.
Rev. A. J. Etutehins, the popular pastor of th'j Baptist church here, was
married Tuesday at Augusta, Kalamazoo county, to Miss Alice M. Boyrie of
that place, Rev. A. H. Bailey, of Allegan officiating. They are attending
the B. Y. P. U. convention at Milwaukee and will be at borne in Clintoti on
their return.—Clinton Local. Popular
pastor sounds very well, but gospel pastor would sound better.
The citizens of Chelsea held a mass
meeting at the Town Hall Sunday afternoon, its object being to portray the
needs of Arineuiaus and lo itilhuse the
people in their behalf. Tho meeting
was addressed by Rev. J. G. Halapilan,
an Armenian, who has been attending
college in this country for several years
The meeting was sinally attended and
and but §7.15 was rai.-.ed for the cause.
Evidently the enthusiasm of tho people
was not in a material wav, although
the speaker ably proved the need of
assistance—Chelsea Standard. That is
57.15 more than S.aline has done any
way.
Qen. Spalding was i-enornitiate4 for
Congress at Jackscm Wednesday. In
his speech of acceptance he held that
silver was one of nature's misfits and
pronounced in favor of gold. Jiminie
was there and he still thinks that the
tariff is tbe only issue before tho country. The report that Gen. Spalding
brought cold vituals with him and refused to put up at a tavern is a men
dacious falsehood. He registered in
good shape at the Hibbard and for
desert expanded on scalloped watermelon and buttered lemonade.—Grass
Lake Local.
One of our exchanges says that a citizen of the place was recently bitten by
a rattle-snake. We think it must
have been a bottle-snake.
The deep-seated prejudice that has
so long swayed men's political action
will not be appealed tbin the campaign
that is now fast approaching. It is
hopeful that men's political action is
actuated by honest conviction rather
than by party prejudice.
The value of a Kansas City man's
nose hes been assessed by a jury at only
a little over $600. In Saline a nose
that has been so well colored that it
has the fragrance of mint about it is
worth much more than the common
nose of the Kansas City variety.
*» The sorry condition that some of our
politicians arein reminds us that itdoes
not take a great amount of capital to
start a man in political business to-day.

Many look upon Sunday obserance
as an American institution, most salutary in its moral influence and effect,
and they refuse to accept in place of it
the demoralizing practices of some foreign countries. For various reasons
the American people want their Sunday just as their fathers gave it to
them.
Parties have • their uses. As organi-
tions for political action, they are powerful to promote principles to which
they are attached. Individuals can do
but little in politics when acting alone,
and when they become associated for
common purposes, they become parties
with the character and limitations
common to parties; hence free government is an impossibility without parties, and the only real question among
patriotic men is how far they should go
in their allegiance to party; what concessions they should make* and where
they should draw the line between partisan and individual obligation.
A great deal of wild and foolish talk
is indulged in on our streets lately that
would lead one to believe but very few
who take part in said talk know what
they are talking about. And so, for the
beaefit of those who do not know what
the term bimetallism means, and are
too proud to ask, the following will give
them information to more intelligently
discuss the question that seems to be
cracking the brains of the people-just
at present: is Bimetallism! rests upon the
right of the payer to make use of the
more abundant metal, or the metal that
tends to become cheaper, and by thus
incrersing the use of this metal to les-
se n the use of the other, aud through
this compensating principle, like the
two metals in the pendulum of a clock,
maintain the parity of both. No one
ever claimed that bimetallism-could
exist if the taker, and not the payer,
had the option. Bimetallism without
the power of legal tender behind it,
giving the option to tbe payor, could
not be permanently maintained even if
all the nations of the earth would unite
on a common ratio. Bimetallism falls
to the ground if the power of legal tender is taken from either metal, or if
the Option, which amounts to the an-
nulmentoflfgal tender, is given to the
payee. The secretary of the United
States could not maintain the parity of
the two metals, or the parity of the coins
of the two metals, if he gives the option
as a right to the taker. The option,
under legal tender, necessarily lies with
the one who pays, whether it be a private person or a government; and a
parity of the metals, or bimetallism,
can be maintained in no other way.
The two metals can be maintained at a
parity only by admitting both to a coinage on exactly equal terms, and the
coins of the two metals Can be kept at
a parity only by conforming to tho fundamental principles of bimetallism,
and legal tender, and by paying out the
metal which, for the time being, is
most convenient or most abundant.
