GENERAL EVANS MISTAKE.
In the jeint debate at tht court
house yesterday, General Evans
claimed, in hie speech, that when
Mr. Atkinson defeated the isoldiers
lr me scheme, he cut off every ave
nue of state relief to the old Vstsr
| *qs wha sliou'd have been housed
there.
In making this statement, Gen.
Evans has spoken without due in
formation and the Ilftanta of
R?ME would advise him to “read
up ’ on the subject before he tackles
it again—perhaps if he weal'd take
the house Journal «>f 1891 and read
or page 1319 he eeuld get a little In
i' :'i. a.
■ ight nee then that Dr, Bald-
• ' tniid >lph, introduced a bill to
i ue very class of old Veterans
v t Lave been forced to eater
'nt .•’#» tiers home for relief. This
bill j.r rd the house, acci r ling to
I e re s by a vote of 119 to 3
n 1 Bii Atkinson wag not of the “8.”
If the General will go further he
will find that Baldwin’s bill was kill
ed in the Senate by the friends of lhe
Soldiers home, and therefore at the
door of that “home” and the “ring’’
t int sought to put it on the state for
‘Atlanta’s benefit Ties the blame for
the poor old needy veterans having
no relief.
The Atlanta spirit of “Rule or
ruin,” a spirit peculiar only to the
"Atlanta Ring’ is held responsible
by tiro old Veterans for enough to de
feat any mau that may l»e put for
ward by that alem* n‘ •
Iwo legislatures made ap of rep
■jsentativee from every county in the
-fate have set down on the Atlanta
Soldiers home * 'poor house’, scheme
ind W. Y. Atkinson but voiced the
•entiments of the old veterans and
ire masses when he championed its
defeat. Th(u’. why General E > alls I

General Kvane claims that li'A (
newspapers helped bring him int* ,
this n-ce ; today his publish* I Int
shows but 59. The 45 have joined
the majority and are fighting for
W, Y. Atkinaoß. a Statesman and
“front rank Democrat.’’
———————w
That was a fowl j ke that Geu
i oral K vane sprung on Ths Hustj.jcß
of Reus when he said “Byrds of a
feather will flock together.’’ The
HurTi.Bß was flocking with Bill
Atkinson and the boys at the front
during the third party war whi e
the"Rtp Van Winkle JJemocrats"
were “fl icking ’ at home.
HOW’S TH 111 GENERAL*
In his speech yesterday at th*
court house General Evans said in
disscussiug the location sf the
Soldiers home:
“The trustees, of whona the Al
lan'a trusstee were a small minor
ity, considered a location. The
Atlanta trustees left it to the oth
ers to decide and it wai located at
Atlanta, and was bought at a low
prise.’’
The above is about es we re
membered it and must be right as
it is clipped from tie Tribune.
Now let’s see if the General was
not just a little off his base —per-
nap? being 61 years and 1 meuth
of aga his nsenaory ham failed-him

NATIONA L POLITICS.
Tha people will look to the chos

tor the proper interpretation of rhe
Chicago platform The interpretation
of the platform by soreheaded auti-
Auministration ergaagg is as amus

the 'oople ,n . ivsox’y to make
said organs ridiculous. Brainbridge

All those who hate the Democrat- 1 *
ic party so much that they stand
areund and abase it from day to day
ought to show tiiat they have as much
■nanhoed and honesty as Tom Wat
son and all the ether third partyites
by leaving the party. If it is such a
bad thin- why do these good • people
stay in it?—Wadley Express.
Net content with abusing Cleve
land for what he really does, some of
the anti organs falsely prophesy what
he will do and fnrwith proceed to
rain down anathemas on his head for
that.—Oglethorpe Echo.

Cur readers will rementhwr thin !
not long einc* we su<est»td n
aolumus that the question i
street lighting in Traverse City
could b< solved in a msrs eatis ac—
tory and economical manner, by
the village owing ’he poles, wire
and lamp*, *Lid sscure the elec
ri-J y to run them by contract.
That this p!*u is feasible may b«
seen from the following which e
C'ip from the Grand Rapids D-m )
crat. It is a pronoeiti»n ou tiii»
plan and is the first ws Lava
seen.
“Th« West Michigan Ecolric
Company, bv A. C. Sskell, e*era
tarv, subinitted a proposition to
the council last eveniug for light
ing ths city .
It was stated that the company
is now engaged in the development
of an extensive water power on
Flat river, in the town of Vergen
nes, for the perpoae es generating
electricity, to be traeamitted to
thia city f »r operating electric mo
tors. As the j>ew«r will be used
mainly m the daytime, there will
be utilized, and the company
therefor* desired to do the light
ing for th* city.
Ths proposition is that it th*
city will provoke a system of dis
tribution for ligbtiu* the entire
city, including towers, wires, etc.
the company will li.bt the city
tor $52 per lamp par year, if leas
th m 400 lamps or at $45 if there
are over 450 lamps,”
The above is for lamps of 2,000
caadl“ power. If those of 1,200
! candle power are used twenty-fivfr
per cent, reduction will lie made
THECOIiT OF ELECTRICITY
Tlia past 15 years have sot witnefed
expected progress in the cheapening
>f de ‘tricity. The reason is that inven
tion has not as yet enabled jbojp
thatt a small percenataa© or the ener< v v
J coal U be turned to electricity.
A lisoit seems to have been fixed as
toile mst, yifn pt(du<edbv era]
i a.id any exten Ive u t eduction of it
as power in the near futuie
seems to depend upon the utilization
of water power. ‘Fiere is a wide field
for its production by this means'
fhei’t are hundreds of waterfalls now
running to waste over the country
that can an 1 probably will be utilized
in the production of electricity if the
Niagara falls tunnel is a financial
