Tfie Times, TEN PAGES. EDMUND O. DEWEY, Editor. OWOSSO, FRIDAY. JUNE 5, 1898. The republican congressional committee has onraDlzed for work of the campaign by re-electing Geo. W. illll, of Saginaw, as chairman. Mr. Hill Is an efficient man for this position. Congress promptly passed the river and harbor aDoroDriatlon bill over President Cleveland's veto. Ills action was roundly denounced by both democrat senators and representatives. Senator Quay is the last prominent re publican to tumble Into the McKlnley band wagon. lie concedes the nomination of MaJ. McKmley on the first ballot with at least 479 votes. Mason News: Shiawassee county will present to the lepublican 6tate convention a candidate for member of the state board of education. It is none other than Prof. J W. Simmons, of Owosso, and ho Is a very competent man for the place. Tbe llollv Advertiser. Pontiac Gazette and Lapeer Clarion last week contained ex cellent accounts of the terrible cyclone dis aster which 6wept through Oakland and Lapeer counties. The three papers men tioned never get left and always give their readers tho news In the best possible form The Canadian farmer must be looking for ward with satisfaction to the harvesting of his next hay crop. During the McKlnley tarilf period our Imports of foreign hay averaged only SO, 000 tons a year, but in nine months of tho current fiscal year we Imported no less than 240,814 tons, practl cally all of which came from Canada. ThH failure of tho fusionlsts to cany Oregon on Monday, is one of the encourag ing political signs. At the last election the republicans polled but 47 per cent of the vote, making it extremely doubtful whether they could carry the state against a demo DODulist fusion. The returns show that the republicans elect the justice of the su preme court by about 6,000 majority, majority of the legislature (ensuring the election of a republican senator) and proba' bly both congressmen. The tide of repub licanisni is too strong for even fusion to stand before it. Gov. Bradley, of Kentucky, has decided that It Is time for the ''favorite son" bus! ness to end and accordingly has notified his friends, that his name will not be presented to the St. Louis convention, although the Kentucky delegates-at-large and some dis trict delegates are Instructed for him. Gov ernor Bradley looks on the growth of free silver among the southern and western dem ocrats with alarm as threatening the Inter ests of the country. lie urges the republican to meet the Issue equercly. saying: The nom inee at St. Louis should have the undivided support of the party for the commercial In terests of the lepublic Is in as muph danger as In 1801. Personal preferences Khould be laid aside and petty animosities forgotten and patriotic democrats who stand for the national advancement and prosperity of the nation should be appealed to assist in the defeat of those who would lower the stand' ard of our money and thereby necessarily strain the nation's honor. Kentucky repub licanswon a signal triumph last fall on ringing declaration for sound money. They should stand by their guns, forgetting all internecine strife and march shoulder to shoulder to a grand victory in November. Protection, Reciprocity and Prosperity. 'Political sentiment is unstable, but principles are eternal. If our party was right in holding to its principles when in power, it must be right Id contending for such principles when out of power. In the defeat of the republican party our national prosperity has been defeated also, but let us remember that the boys in blue met de feat at Bull Run, but their cup of glory was filled at Appomattox. Our defeat will be but temporary, and In four years from now the party which has just won so signal a victory wlir find its Appomattox, and the republican banner will again be thrown tc the breeze and upon its fold will still be found these words, 'Protection, Reciprocity Prosperity.' "Interview with William Mc Kinley the morning after election, 1392. Mrs. Viletta Grahame. t Sometime during Tuesday night Mrs, Viletta Grahame died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs, C. O. Duff, 412 north Wash Ington street. She bad a slight attack of paralysis two weeks ago, from which she seemed to recover but which proved to be the precursor of a painless death. She would have been seventy-three years years old in August, was born at Fleming, Cuyahoga county, New York, and was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer Gould. Previous to coming here in 1840 she had lived in New Albany, N. Y., and Chicago, 111. In 1840 she married Dr. Jos uraharre, who died 35 years ago. For the past eighteen years she has lived with her daughter. Mrs. C. C. Duff. The other surviving children are Geo. II. Grahame, of Owosso, and Mrs. Chas. Carr, of Chicago, Mrs. carr arrived yesterday morning and Mr. C. came last night to attend the funeral which occurs this afternoon, Rev. J. C. Cromer officiating. She was one of tho organizers and for many years an efficient officer of the ladles library and was a charter member of the First Congregational church. Ifer kind manner and lovable nature will be greatly missed. An aunt of Mrs. Izalab Ott, of New Hav en, was killed at St. Louis, Mo., during the cyclone. OR THE THIRD TIME. Hon.W. S. Linton Unanimously Re-nom inated for Congress. NAHED BV HON. WJVM. KILPATRICK In a Rattling Speech The Names of Mc Kinley, Bliss and Linton Greeted With Cheers. From the Saginaw Courier-IIerald. The republican convention of the eighth congressional district of Michigan met in the republican headquarters in the Brewer block yesterday. George W. Illll, chairman of the congres slonal coramttee called the convention to or der at 1:45 p. m. After the delegates had become seated, Mr. Dill read the call for the convention and then called to the chair as temporary chairman Prof. J. W. Simmons, of Owosso. Prof. Simmons returned thanks for the hon or conferred, saying he considered it an im portant meeting, and that the principles represented here were of Importance to this congressional district and the state and that these principles would be victorious. E. P. Waldron was chosen as temporary secretary. A delegate from Shiawassee county moved tnat toe convention appoint committees on credentials, permanent order of business and. resolutions and that the counties pre sent names of members of those committees. The counties presented the namtis and the committees as organized were as fol lows: Credentials A. L. Arnold, Shiawassee; George Watson, Tuscola; II. L. Kendrlek, Clinton; J. A. Conuery, Saginaw. Permanent organization and order of busi ness A. T. Punish, Shiawassee; E. D. Shader, Tuscola; B. M. Wooley', Clinton; E. A. btiiupeon, Saginaw. Resolutions F. E. Welch, Shiawassee; J. M. Smith, Clinton; E. LI. Diamond. Tus cola; Perley Becker, Saginaw. The convention then took a recess of ten miuutes to allow the committees to formu late reports. Upon the convention re-assembling the committee on credentials submitted a report of the delegates entitled to seats in the con vention, which was accepted and adopted. The committee on permanent organiza tion and order of business recommended that the temporary officers be made perma nent, and that the following be the order of business: First Report of the committee on cre dentials. Second Report of committee on perman ent organization and order of business. Third Report of the committea on reso lutions. Fourth Nomination of a candidate for congress. The report was received and adopted. The chairman said the committee on reso lutions had informed him that they did not deem it advisable to submit any resolutions. The officers of the convention were then sworn in. The members of the congressional com mittee were then presented as follows: Shi awassee, 11. B. McLaughlin; Clinton, Will 11. Brunson; Tuscola,- C. T. Jarvls; Sagi naw, W. K, Marshall. Next in the order of business was nomin ations for candidate for congress. Lion. W. M. Kilpatrlck, of Shiawassee, took the floor and made an excellent speech, saying in substance: "After three years of democratic rule and misrule, every day of "which has driven a fresh nail into tho coffin of the in dusrries and prosperity of this country, we are about to place In nomination candidates for -tho presidency, and the gubernatorial office, and for members of congress, and I think that In the three years that have just passed the people have learned some lessons which they are anxious to manifest At the polls in November. It Is the people that are about to have their say, as tbey have been doing in the conventions up to the present date, and they are going to solve. and have solved, whether it Is McKlnley Bill or Bill McKlnley, and they have said that they will have both. They have de clared, as far as heard from, in favor of protection and prosperity. I was reading the other day a little statement of the state of the financial barometer, the clearing house statements. . In 1892 it was oyer four billion dollars in favor of New York, and in 1895 it was seven billion dollars in fayor of London, as against the United States. That is what comes from the free raw material that our democratic friends have been ad vocating, and now the people of the United States are demanding protection. They are generous, but three years of this giviDg to England is all they can stand. It is not so much the man from Ohio that the people are upholding as the principles that he bet ter represents than any other living Ameri can. There is no doubt of this election by a great majority unless the democrats could catch a few weak-kneed republicans with their silver hook. It was the duty of re publicans to see that we had money enough and the kind would take care of Itself. No man upon receiving his money looks at it to see what kind it is. The trouble now was for a man to find any when ho looked in his pocket. No matter whether a man was an artisan or professional man, he was mighty lucky to find any money. The farmer had been told that he would get cheap blankets in return for his wool, but he could not buy the blankets with his wool. The working man was premised all sorts of commodities cheap in return for his vote In 1892. lie had received anything but money for it, but he could not buy anything in tho shape of cheap goods because he bad not the money. The first duty of republicans was to get protection, and then the money would take care of itself. Mr. Chairman, I didn't rise here to make a political speech. 1 arose here to perform. I the duty assigned to me by my fellow dele gates from Shiawassee, to place in nomina tion a man for member of congress. I am Instructed by ray fellow delegates here to present the name of your present member of congress, William S. Linton, who has been such for the past four years, and whom you all know, aud whose course I approve. I had hoped to support a man from Shia wassee county, but with me the majority always rules. I have bad some little experi ence with politics in the past and recognize the power of the majority. 1 apprehend that in November next, along with McKln ley, Bliss and others, Linton will be elected wjth such a majority as we have never seen in this eighth district since its present or ganization. I hope I have well presented the name of the next congressman, and the balance must be done by the Voters. By an unanimous rising vote the nomina tion was confirmed on motion of W. II. Brunson. of Clinton. Mr. Kilpatrlck was extended a vote of thanks for the magnanl mous manner in which be presented Mr. Linton's name, ana with ttiree iousmg cheers for the nominee, and cries "lie's all right," the convention came to a close. Washington, May 28. Congressman Lin ton re celved many congratulations this af ternoon and evening on the peculiarly grati fying circumstances attending his unanl mous re-uomlnation. Mr.. Linton has at tained a national celebrity through his fight on sectarian appropriations, and his "efforts in behalf of postal employes, and few mem bers of the fifty-fourth congress are as well known or have as many friends and acqualn tances In .Washington. Tho felicitations were the more cordial from the fact that a nomination is considered to be eq uivalent to election this year. Mr. Linton himself expresses his great satisfaction at the har. mony that characterized the convention. High School Notes. Charles Cooper's esay, read Friday alter noon, was very Interesting. It was entuiea The Wonders aud Curiosities of the Mod em Railway." The strides tanen in m railway business from the time that the first American railway in 182G drew material at Quincy, Mass., lor the Bunker hill monu ment until the modem lightning express thundered along, are enormous and worth study. The rendering of the shapeless ore into tho drlying wheel or boiler plate is an interestlnj? and beautiful urocess. Peter Cooper built the first locomotive in America, It was sent to South Carolina and lived but a year owing to a dusky southerner's sitting on tho safety valve to stop the hissing noise of escaping steam. It was Impertinent In Columbus to discover America If there were to be no railroads. Railways bind a nation because they effect an Interchange of ideas, They tend to sever a nation because tney are a temptation to paralyze the industries of a nation through strikes. The locomo tivo with its 54G0 parts has an active life of thirty years, at the end of eleven of which its original cost has been spent on It ior re pairs. It Is a monument and marvel or ap plied Industry. Miss Maud Gilbert recited her well writ ten narrative, founded upon fact, of the life of a union soldier who leaving behind his beloved home and his favorite violin went tn tlio war. was wounded and left in the hands of the enemy. The rebel physician untrue to the ethics of his profession, tried to cause the boy all the pain he could. Fail ing to extract a groan from the brave fellow he stabbed the flesh around the wpund with his murderous .lancet, but no cry escaped .the union lad. Recaptured he died m union hospital from the blood poisoning caused by the southern 6urgeon. Monday afternoon Leo Moss delivered his essay on the United States Navy, in which he traced the history of that very Important part of national life. The growth of our navy has been retarded by a lack of Inter est on tho part of the nation at large, but tho congresses of he last few years have made appropriations which are securing and have secured cruisers which In their respec tive classes excel anything afloat. The cruiser Indiana, for example, could fire at one volley 6724 pounds of steel, of which 8920 pounds could be shot straight ahead We have other cruisers of similar capabili ties and our navy is altogether one of which we may well feel proud. Mr. Moss' es say showed careful research and was list ened to with interest. Miss Mabel Ferry gave In the form of narrative "An Educational Idea," a sum mary of the reasons for and against an edu cation. There were three boys whose histo ries were traced. One was taken out of school when twelve years old because he liked to be In a store and didn't wish to go to school. He was finally cheated and fall ed in business owing to a lack of education The second boy went through high school and college but acquired no definite aim in the course of his studies and amounts to nothing at the close of the story. The third boy exemplifies the educational Idea I building upon a broad general education special capability the demand for which gives him a good position and living. The narrative form of presentation of this idea was an effective one and reflects credit upon the English work done in our schools where, contrary to the old notions, story writing encouraged. Tuesday afternoon Miss Minnie McCor- mlck read an excellent essay on the life of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, whose loving hu manity seemed to beam forth from his por trait which adorns the assembly room, lie belong to the same age as Darwin and Ten nyson. Ho was a sunny tempered lad with a natural bent of wit. He attended Phillips Academy at Andover where It was expected that he would become a minister. But, as he said, he met there, ministers who looked too much like undertakers. He graduated from Harvard in the famous class of 1839. studied law but finally gave it up for medi cine. For thirty-five years he was profes- sor of anatomy In the Uaivard Medical Col lege at Boston and took as much delight In fine dissection as be did in poetry. His na ture was lovable, modest and sympathetic. He saved old Ironsides by his poem, preached 6ermons to those who never would attend church, softened the narrowness of Puritan bigotry, produced works of lasting humor and was a patriot all of bis life, which ended October 7, 1894. "Culture" was the subject of a thoughtful essay by Miss Lena Martin. Culture is a catch-word of the day. Arnold's definition of culture is "the knowing of the best that has been said or dono in the world." Thoughtful reading brings culture and all should read to a good purpose and read a great deal. Everyone wastes a little time which might be so used. Culture is broad while mere learning may be narrow.' Edu cation should produce culture. Science is daily adding culture to our life. Electrlcl ty, attention to the public health and the traveling in which our restless, curious fel low-countrymen indulge, result in culture. The early struggle for wealth made the out look dark but now the future for the artist, musician and poet is bright with promise for the success of their culture bringing labors. Wednesday afternoon Miss Ethel McLean read her essay on "Richard the Lion-hearted," which showed that she had studied history to advantage. ' She traced the out growing of his childish innocence and the quarrels which he had with his brothers. He took a leading part In the first crusade and for years battled with the Saracens by whose leader, Saladin, he was much ad mired. His life was full of great opportuni ties but ho died unmourned because his gen erosity extended only to his equals and his bravery only appeared on the battlefield. Everyone "by studying his mistakes could learn lessons of what is true bravery and generosity. Ernest Mann discussed tho "Prosperity of the United States" In his well written ora tion on that subject. No other country haJ in so short a time attained such a condition of peace and freedom that we enjoy. This is because we have a greater equality of op portunity and civil rights. The brotherhood of man is tho rule of our social order while discovery and invention are having a re markable Influeuco upon oar civilization. Tho foreign Immigration Is a factor some what inimical to our civilization as too many come, with Inherited semi-barbaric traits which one generation of training does not remove. The necessity for wider extension of-public education is evident, yet lu spite of the public schools the foreign population is not assimilated as well as some suppose. The necessities of pioneer life induces lguor- auce and the question for the next century Is whether or not the civilized portion of the country shall maintain a supremacy over the semi-barbaric elemeus of our civiliza tion. Miss Eliza Martin clearly outlined the leading principles of "Civil Service Reform" In her essay on that subject. The U.S. constitution contains much material brought from the laws of other countries but the most Important part is derived from English sources. The early history of the country contains no record of political corruption but tbe insatiable desire for office which has since arisen has led to the civil service re form movement of today in which regard we are behind England. Civil service re form is an issue in politics and aims to place honest men in office upon aniupartlsan basis. Much.trouble comes from the lndif ference of the individual voter but the Judi clal and purely administrative officers could be better chosen and those departments maintained if partisan politics were not the basis of their selection. The greatest strides have been made In the last six years and barring a few trivial matters tho civil ser Vice reform laws have been a success. In his essay on "Grains," Edwin Mosher showed in how many different instances and ways the great arose from the small. While we stand admiring the great things of this world we should consider the little things which gave r'se to them. The little monitor revolutionized naval construction Into what It Is today. The history of every great Invention which has been perfected by many improvements betrays Its humble orl gin. Men do not attain position or power at once. Abraham Lincoln's path from the log cabin to the White House was anything but easy. Failures are lessons In living. The great tree of freedom sprang from the seed cf liberty nourished by the colonists. Our place or station may be small and low ly but the lives of great men show that they began there, too, and we should do the best we can. Miss Iva Peterson entitled her essay "Abstraction," and gave much of interest in regard to astronomy. She described the thoughts or dream of an astronomer as be slept upon the open deck of an ocean steam er from which he was lifted by an invisible power out into space. Visits paid to Venus and other plauets revealed more of the vast ness and beauty of the universe. The as tronomer in response to a question given by his spirit guide was compelled to admit a Crea'or under whose laws the planets moved in their courses. While seeming to see the pandemonium that would reign if it were not so, the ship struck bottom and ho found that he had been dreaming. Dwlght North discussed in an interesting manner the "Permanent Ownership of Roads." Plutocracy is the rule of wealth, while paternalism is the government taking all the functions of life in its control as i father does the affairs of a family. PI u toe racy and paternalism are extremes. West era railways are losing so much by compe tition that the question of government own ershlp Is being favorably answered. Of the six lines between Chicago and St. Louis two or three would bo enough. As It is rates are cut for a short time only and then the rates are higher than before tbe cut. If tbe roads were owned by the government no company could build a parallel road in order to make another company buy it out. On the other hand the power of the railroad department of tho government would be lu very great danger of being misused, and a strike of the 800,000 or more men employed would amount to a rebellion. Franco and Germany experience no trouble in the gov ernmental control of their roads and the United States could certainly handle them a well if it tried. Englishmen's Picnic. The sixth annual picnic and re-union of the Englishmen with their families and friends, will be held at the Owosso fair grounds Thursday, June 25th. .The day will 'be spent with cricket, foot ball, sing ling, addresses, and a jolly good time.

Tho truth is that this very question of rising wages is what makes a good many men free traders. People witl fixed incomes think that anything which rises wages is inimical to them.

J. M. Thurston. SALTFIELDS HURT. New York State Industry Demoralized by Democracy. Tho western New York saltficld, em braced in the counties of Gcnessec, Liv ingston and Wyoming, extends over ten townships, with an aggregate population of 23.168. Tho amount of wages dis tributed in tho salt industry in thoso ten townships in 1891 was in round numbers $350,000; tho freights paid on 6alt. coal, cooperage, etc., $1,200,000 tho amount paid for cooperage, box ehooks, bagging, etc., was $050,000; a total distribution of money to the amount of $2,400,000 in a- singlo year. That was under tho McKinley tariff, with protection to salt In 1895, under tho Gorman tariff, with salt on the frco list, tho distribu tion of money in this samo section throuch tho salt industry was as fol lows: Wages, $165,000; freights, etc, $400,000; cooperage, bagging, etc $215,000, a total of $780,000, or a ro duction of about 68 per cent traceable directly to freo trade. Tho immediato localities suffered to tho extent of $385, 000 a year a distribution of wages de creased by about $17 per capita for the entire population in tho region affected. of whom less than 10 per cent wero en gaged directly in tho salt industry. Tho number of persons engaged in tno in dustry fell off from 1,200, earning $458.33 a year, to COO, earning $330 each. In addition to this loss to labor in the locality and its resultant effect on local trade and every industry and pursuit there carried on, thero is tho item of $800,000 loss to the railroads in froights naid. nearly all of which Is a labor item. Then there is the loss of $485, 000 in tho amount of cooperago and bagging used, tho major part of which was a loss to labor affecting tho lumber men in Michigan, tho cotton operatives in tho cast and sewing girls in New York city, where the bulk of tbe bagging has been mado up. Tho manufacturers of cotton in the New England states, and tho lumber men of the north and west, are as much affected by tho placing of salt on tho freo list as aro tho 6altmakcrs in tho western New York saltfield and the great railroad corporations aro affected as much as both-put. together. Schly Kelley. At five o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the residence of Mr. and Mr9. Henry Schly occurred the marriage of their daughter Julia to Bert Kelley, Rev. C. E. Illll per forming the ceremony. The bride wore a beautiful dress of cream silk with pearl trimmings. Ray Sldman was groomsman and Miss Clara Schly bridesmaid.
