YOUNG OF MICHIGAN.
Representative Young of Michigan
gets before the country in good shape
and out of congress in good shape also in
his frank statement of his intention to
resign and the causes which led to the
development of that intention.
Technically speaking. Mr. Young is a
member of congress. His return to that
position had in it no blemish from a
purely legal standpoint. According to
provisions of the law certain votes in
that country were thrown out? They
were not projterly cast and the statement
goes that if they had l>een counted the
counting of them would have been illegal.
\ Thib if Mr. Young’s statement of the case
» is true left the election board no option
but to certify to Young’s election. Never-
theless the people who voted erroneously
‘ had not intended to vote for Yung. If
their votes had been cast properly ac-
cording to law .some other man would
have been returned to congress. If Mr.
Young's statement is true no court could
have disjHissessed him on any showing of
law and evidence. Nevertheless he knew
the ]>eople had not intnded to elect him.
Bsides the law of the ease there was the
equity of the ease as distinguished from
the law\ Mr. Young sat as a court of
equity and corrected in this instance
that “wherein the law by reason of its
universality was deficient.” Evidently
he is not a practical politician according
to ancient usage among practical pnli
ticians but he's a "man for a’ that.”

This is not saying that in so doing
they got in the way of any eon vent ions
but it is safe to say they did not stop
to consider possible international usages
but went where their help was needed.
They helped the sufferers to this side of
the river where they might recover in
peace with neither federal nor constitu-
tionalist to molest them. The wounded
men received the benefit of all that sci-
ence could do for them. When they have
recovered their legal status will per
r haps be determined by law. So far as
i the people of this country care it makes
' no dofference as to the legal aspects of
the case. They will assist the men to
get well. Let the diplomats settle the
rest.

Science is now able fo announce that
the thin narrow bullet traveling at a
high rate of speed is making war more
humane. May in* so. may Ik* so. Vet if
the t'arranzistas start to cross the inter-
national bridge a certain corpulent news-
paper man will do what in* can to miti-
gate the horrors of war by traveling at
a high rate of sjieed. The thin narrow
bullet may be humanizing .in its way.
' but there are other processes of human
izatioiL which better commend themselves
I to the philosophic mind. If it comes to
r an issue please do not stop tile sprinter
and ask him what position lie holds on
*‘the paper.

Briefly expressed the rules which will
govern the qualifications of the fourth
class postmasters are:
“Beware of booze.
*Be well up in the three R’s.
“Be particular especially of the third
R and Ik* able to ‘rite legibly." The
three R’s well learned and the booze
well let alone you shall Ik* let alone."
Maybe the suffragettes are doing all
the house burnings and other crimes
which have lately hap|K*ncd in England
but it is just |K»ssil»le that other crimin-
als art* playing on the credulity of the
police.
-O-
It may Ik* however that the progres-
sives and republicans will find it in
their hearts to kiss and make up. Most
of them in the house voted against the
tariff reform bill. Which may indicate
that their progressiveness is not so in
tense as it was. Better humor Vm a lit-
tle. Brother Taft.
CARING FOR THE WOUNDED.
Mercy is of no clime or country race
or nation. It belongs to all lands dimes
and peoples. And to the demands of
mercy national barriers give way and
hard and fast rules of international eti-
quette bend to the broader claims
of humanity. It is to the great credit
of the doctors on the American side—Drs»
Dougherty Harrison. Lottman and Os !
bom—that they stood not upon any
question of international usage after the'
fight at Revnosa. but went to the aid of
the wounded as soon as might l*e. They
hunted the poor fellows up where they
lay hurt among the brushwood and min-
istered to their wants.

The progressive reorganizers of the re-1
publican party have now got to the point!
when they are ready to state just what
sha]M* the reorganization shall take. Up
to that point it is plain sailing. How-
ever. when one ]tolitical party begins to j
reorganize another it may require a lib ■
I eral application of chloroform to induce
the other to lie still and la* reorganized.

It Is estimated that five thousand Mat-1
amorensans t<x>k shelter in Brownsville
Sunday night. The average citizen of

i turbed folk had a safe place to come to.!

THE CREAMERY.
Recently a mass meeting of Farmers
and business men was held to discuss
and perfect plans that would result in es
t a Wishing a lirst class creamery in
Brownsville.
Much interest was develojied; it was
most clearly shown to lie a necessary and
logical project; that it would pay is sure
and that our farmers stand ready to doj
their part is beyond question.
That dairy cows can be kept at a min-
imum of cx|>cnse in good condition to
Geld a high grade milk because of the
abundant supply of green foods that art*
otherwise thrown away as culls and that
the skimmed milk can Ik1 fed to hogs
with profit all stands true.
Five hundred* good dairy cows will
start a creamery on a paying basis; this
will produce more than $2000 per month
cash to the farmers; and when it runs
through a year this becomes an import
ant item.
Out of the milk after skimming at
least 1.000 hogs a year can Is* raised that
! will be worth not less than $12000.
But sealing down to $25000 per year
and this is very conservative the addi-
tion of that amount of revenue to our
farmers income means much.
Beside tit is there remains 500 calves
worth something; and tin* supplying of
our market and adjacent markets with
good fresh butter made in Brownsville
i and the keeping of that money at home
! means a more prosperous community.
Mow ab^ut the creamery? Let it be
built at once. And let us not quit until
it is built and old “Bossy*’ comes into
her own here.
Build the creamery. Bring in the cows.
Do it now. Respectfully
