NORTHERN TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1877. REPUBLICAN liOWS. TIONS. Justice of the Supreme Court, THOU As M COOLEY. Regents of the University, VICTORY P. COLLIER, GEORGE L MALTZ. SROITLD MACKINAW OPPOSE OCR RAILROAD 1ROJECT ? In a brief item last week, we noticed that the citizens of Mackinaw county were circulating a remonstrance against the Legislature Aaklag a land grant to the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad to assist it in coming to this place. It seems to us that although this action is intend ed to work injury to Cheboygan, and benefit to Mackinaw, it cannot have an injurious effect on Cheboygan without having the same eftect on Mackinaw. Even if it were possible that the efforts of that county to have the effect of pie venting the railroad trom coming to this place, what benefit could such a co irse be to Mackinaw county. It would not increase the growth of the county or add to its importance abroad. It would not secure Mackinaw county a railroad a day sooner. In fact, it it had any effect at all, it would be to delay a railroad there. There were a few residents of that county, and only a few, who refused to sign the remonstrance, and would sign a petition in favor of the land grant. It is en couraging to note in this connection that those few were the leading business men of the place, those whose energy, intelli gence and business qualifications, give to the place a IftTgl share of its importance. It is only those do not look beyond their own limited surroundings and h tve no un derstanding of the great principles which govern the growth and develop ment of a country who would throw a straw in the way of the improvement of an adjoining county. For the tutuie progress of Mackinaw county, we regret that the most of the residents belong to that class. That they are honest in their opinions we have no doubt, hut they are mistaken, as they will no doubt see be fore many years roll around. As to the effect upon Cheboygan, we have no fear. Cheboygan has elements of growth, per manent and stable growth, which cannot he effected by any means of that nature. It is bound by all principles of develop ment to become the leading business point of this section of the state. Rail roads would hasten it development. The hick of them would not prevent it, and hr this reason the railroads which are penetrating this northern eountry will eventually come here, land grant or no land grant. A land grant would bring it sooner. In opposing this matter, it seems to us that the residents of Macki naw are standing In their own liirht. Their action would indicate that the growth ot Cheboygan would be detri mental to their interests. This, any reasonable person knows would not be the case, and a r dlroad to this place would undoubtedly be better for Macki naw th;in whMe ir now i. We think if the people there had looked on this mat ter in all iN !e a rings, they would not have placed themselves on record as they have. FACTS WORTH CONSIDERING. We desire at this time to cnll the at tention ot our numerous readers outside of the county, especially those who con template ehnnging location or business, to the advantage? w Inch Cheboygan pos sesses over almost any other section ol the eountry which is now holding out inducements to settlets. We know of no other place in the country which has so man' elemenrs of growth. The position which Cheboygan holds upon the lake with its available harbor will make it one of the best shipping points upon the in land waters. This is a point to be taken in consideration by : U who seek a loca tion either lor businos or manufacturing, or agricultural pursuits. Toon this point often times depend suceess or failure. More enterprises fail throughout the country for the lack of cheap transpor tation than lor any other single cause. For the same reason, villages, which in the beginning proml-e well, end almost where they began. Cheboygan possesses the advantages as shipping point second to none. In addition tc this it has as good a water power as is in the state. Its lumber interests are larg and increasing, and she possesses a sufficient amount of pine whic'i must necessarily come to thi? point for mannfacrure and shipment that will la.-t tor a generation or two yet. The lumber interest s alone will cause a constant growth tor years to come. But what will add to the per manent and steady growth is the splendid farming lands ot the county. The pul -lic are just begining to get a knowledge of their value, and show their anprecia tion of them by securing and settling npon them, at a rate which, considering the depressing times, may almost be con sidered unprec denied, and the call for them is increasing even day. We venture the assertion that there is no county in the state which has o many acres of farm ing land diiectly ti ihnt iry to a tirst-elass shipping point as has Cheboygan. There is no county in the .state where the wood on the same number of acres can be transported to market so that it will pay the cost of clearing. The navigation of our inland takes and rivers place all this within easy reach of Cheboygan. The same reasons which make this place de sirable tor the shipment of its products make it desirable on account of the low prices with which all kinds of goods can be furnished. These points are well worth considering, and we challenge a comparison with any place in the state. Stanley Matthews i to be the suc cessor of John Sherman in the United States Senate. The Jkpubucan caucus so decreed last week He was nomina ted on the third ballot. For some rea son unexplained in the dispatehes. Judge Taft received a much smaller vore than was anticipated by LU triends. THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONTEN TION. The Democrats of the state, under the leadership of Don M. Dickinson held a convention in Lansing on the 16th inst., to place in nomination a candidate for Supreme Judge and two Regents of the Tniverslty. Dor M. Dickinson is one of those Democrats who denounce the great fraud," and who says in effect that the highest endorsement that a man can have for a Democratic nomination is i the ability with which he can denounce --Bradley and Wells." A3 the Democratic party in this state has a lare proportion ot members who hold views which art more in accordance with patriotism and love of country, the convention, headed by --Don," was neither a large nor an enthusiastic one. At the calling of the convention together, there were, out of a delegation of over 400. just 80 persons present. In the afternoon, by hard work, the convention reported 22b dele gates present, with 26 organized coun ties unrepresented, and even of these there was a large proportion who favor ed the nomination of Thomas M. Cooley for Supreme Justice, hut by a powerful effort on the part of the tillibustering element that measure was defeated ami a Democrat nominated. The resolutions adopted were what might have been ex pected from this faction of the Demo cratic party. They denounced Hayes and "Bradlej and Wells." This was not strange, as a convention called by Don M. Dickinson would naturally consist of his followers, but the meagre attendance shows that the class ot Democrats who hold these views are by far the smaller portion of those in the state, as they are ot the country, notwithstanding they may make the noise. EDITORIAL NOTES. A mektixg of white Republicans was held in New Orleans last week to ask for northern support for Packard. They claim that he is pretty general ly recog dized throughout the state, and make a strong appeal for justice. Secretary Schukz gives notice that during his administration there will be no removals except for cause, and no pro motions except for merit. He also an nounces that there are no vacancies to fill in the Interior deparlmt nt. The celebrated Knox-Merritt matri monial mystery has another act added. Miss Mary Knox swears she was married on the evening of Nov. 8 to John A. Metritt. John denies, and says he never thought of such a thing. The case has been on trial at Carmel, Pa., for some weeks. The justice of the peace has de cided that the story of Miss Knox is sub stantially correct, and he held young Merritt under bond to act as husband should. Merritt, under the advice of his lawyer, refused to sign the bond, and the court committed him to jail. Merritt's friends hope to secure his release on a writ of habeas coi-pus. President Hayes proposes another new departure that will be heartily ap proved by the public. He has invited Vice President Wheeler to participate in the deliberations of the cabinet meeting, as one of the President's advisers. Here tofore the Vice President of the United States, however capable and worthy he may have een. has been too much of a figure head in the government, being of no use whatever except to preside over the Senate during its sessions. This new departure on the part of President llaye is the more gratifying since it is known that Vice President Wheeler's eminent ability, experience and integrity will go far towards strengthing the administra tion and advancing 'he interests ot the nation by his active co-operation with the President. The New York Graphic says that now i me nine i utgin miMiiess ine title is completely out and just on the turn. Prices of all Kiinls are at the bottom fig ure. Wages are low and money is cheap. Those who put unemployed funds into real estate at the present low valuations or purchase mills and manufactories are sure to gain. However it may be with the affaii-s of some of our newspapers, which think the world is coming to an end because things go ill with tnoin. the times are steadily improving, business is bound to revive, prosperity is coming and the men who are wise enough to take advantage of the present depressed condition of wages and the price of all kinds of material to start in some needed business will reap an abundant harvest in due time. And the sooner people set at work in all wise ways the quicker busi ness of all kinds will revive. The new Secretary of the Xnvy, Mr. Thompson, is to be added to the number of illustrious old men, who never found it too late to learn like Cato taking up Greek when he was more than sixty, nod the whole list so popular ft tit M intonat ing in works in education. 11. has re cently published a work on the Papa -y His attention was called to t!:e subject by the Pope's encyclical ot 1S(4. He be gan reading the history of the church, and became so interested in it, that he finally made a subject of investigation and si udy. He found much of the litera ture on the subject "the merest stuff.'' full ot blind bigotry on both sides, an ignoring or perversion of facts, false logic, and false appeals. He determined to state the question, if he could, fairly, and set about writing his book. He wa greatly embarrassed by his ignorance of languages, especially of Latin and Greek. Although sixty years ot age. he set to work to learn Latin, Greek, German and French; submitted his translations to a scholastic friend, and finally produced his book, which was published by Har per & Brothers. The critics have spoken well of it. The old man has -a good deal of blood in him" evidently, and if he can master what he needs to know of naval science as easily as he is said to have suc ceeded in this enterprise, he will rapidly ( qualify himself for his present position. President Hayes is not in favor of the new election project in South Caro lina and Louisiana. Both parties are op posed to it. There is no law for it. In stead of allaying political' passions, it would aggravate them. Many in both States, especially in Louisiana, are op posed to it because it would occur In the planting season, and would interrupt an other business year. CONDENSED NEWS. There are a million and a quarter tax ed dogs in Great Britian. The London Bible society has sent 20, 000 bibles to the Russian army. A prominent Chicago firm dumped 16, 000 postal cards into the mails in one lump last Saturday. The suit for the recovery of $1,000,000 being twice the amount of which Jacob Rehin defranded the government in con nection with the whiskey ring, will be pushed vigorously. Notice was served on Rehm last week, and the case will be called up Monday. The argument will be first on a motion to dismiss the suit. The boys of a school at Coal Run, O., were rehearsing, for an exibition the other day, an. original drama. In one parr a boy named Mason was to be stabbed. A sack of red liquid was con cealed under his clothes and a wooden breast-plate was to protect him trom the blow. The breast-plate got misplaceu and the dagger pierced his heart, killing him instantly. Stephen S. Jones, editor of the Religo Philosophical Journal at Chicago, was shot dead in his office last week by Dr. C. W. Pike, who at once gave himself up. Pike ami his wite have resided in Jones' building without paying rent, and it is surmised this may have caused the trouble. But Pike says that Jones se duced his wife, and Mis. Pike says so too. The friends ot Jones says that he was in capable of such a crime. All the parties are spiritualists. Jones was Go years old. wealth v. and liyed with his family at St CharleT 111. There was a good deal of cat-hauling among the Methodists of Washington over the Presidential lamily. Dr. New man was especially anxious to serve as chaplain for another quadrennate; but it is almost definitely settled that the family will worship at the foundry Meth odist church, near the White House.That is where they went last Sunday. A local reporter say: Mrs. Hayes worships as it her heart was in her devotion. She joined in the congregational singing, with much zest, and her sweet voice could be distinctly heard among the chorus of voices which filled the auditorium. An inquest on the body of Joseph Kin gan, the dead New York produce dealer is in progress at St. Johns, N. B. New York detectives have ascertained that Kingan had $25,000 in United States and District ot Columbia 3-65 bonds on him when he left. They think his murderer followed him Iroin New York. Gould II. Thorp thinks that he had over $100,000 with him, while but $9,000 were found on his body. He scouts the idea of Kin gan being a defaulter, as his assets are double his liabilities.
