.I—l 11, <riE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. BY 8. KAY Wtf./.JAMS. Thursday, Afgvstll, 18y|. J.ost! Just as we go to press information is received to the effect the Chicago & Atlantic railroad has been located on the Monroe and Bluffton line. We congratulate our sister towns trust that they will appreciate the value of their new road. Due notice of Decatur's funeral will be given/ Any person wanting Lo buy The Democrat office will please call at ,once. We are siok. We want to start a gip mill at Monroe Centre. Wat. <*. J ? aßoo, the express map, ,is .dead. Orville Grant, a brother of the -.General, is dead. The name of Jous E. Neff is being spoken of in connection with the office of governor. The Democrt’s first choice is Isaac P. Gray. Butler, Indiana, is to have railroad machine shops located there. Bro. )Veamer struck a bonanza when he yvent into the Record printing business. Collier, the Indianapolis street-car driver who shot and killed two brothers, was released, the grand jury failing to find a bill against him. This was right. lie did just what the law gives him the privilege of doing. The President is not so well as at this time last week, a painful surgical operation having been performed since then. The opinion prevails that the president is by no means out of danger, and should he recover it will be many weeks before he can attend to the duties of his high office. Has there ever been a successful administration of the Federal Government by any man who was not elected to be President? We do not here refer to the case of Hayes, for whom Mr. Tilden’s office was stolen, but to those chosen to be Vice-President, and who have reached the White House through the death of the President. It would seem that the Vice-Presidents who have thus been promoted have generally made a bungle of it. Tyler. Fillmore, and Johnson lost the confidence of the parties which elected them, and never acquired the confi dence of the country. There is that in the very nature of bis accidental accession to a great office, which another' person had been chosen to fill, which makes a man an object of suspicion, and cripples and hampers him throughout. This trouble with the administrations of Vice Presidents may per- ' haps be inherent in the system. The original plan of the Constitution, while defective in other respects, had one advantage over the present one, in this, that the Vice-President was the choice for President of a large minority of the voters, a minority which might behalf of the whole people, lacking only one. Going into the White House he would have at his back a great party | which had designated him for that place, and might therefore nuke dignified, vigorous and useful administration. As it is, the Vice-President is usu ally one of the last men in the country whom the people of any party would select for President Gen. Arthur is by no means the worst or the weakest politician in New York; he was ' nominated and elected only a year ago; and yet it is plain that if the office of ! President were now to devolve upon him, he would begin with an uglv ' breach with a large section ofthis party, and thus his al ministration mjght ’ become, like Tyler's and Johns<W’s, ’ an unprofitable wrangle from first to * last.—JVcw York Sun. ,. r i The condition of the President is t deplorable. It excites universal sym < patby. Everybody, it is to be hoped, desires his speedy recovery. It would : be difficult to conceive of a human be- ' ing so depraved, so fiendish in spirit, I as to entertain a desire that his wound ’ should prove fatal. Bat it is a mistake to suppose that sympathy for the President means sympathy for the Republican party, its policy or its leaders. ' On the contrary, the condition of the ’ President brings into the boldest possi- ' ble prominence the abhorrent qualiti es i of Republicanism. The condition of the i President is the outgrowth of Repub- < licanism. The wound and the peril ■are 'calamities for whi h Republicanism : i« responsible The courage, the patience, the suffering of the President ' excite sympathy, sorrow and admira- j tion. ‘‘But these fields within the Re- ; publican party have not,” saya the New York Herald, -abated tfic strife qf factions. It has not reconciled their leaders. It has not consolidated a Republican majority in Congress. It has not even barnmuized the Cabinet. On the contrary, while the President’s life apparently was banging in the balance. the dijcorl of his party reached a height neier attained before. Its ■ ■ Jons were excited to the pitch that • >i«ations of responsibility fur the

as L I ~J u ( even were hurled from : one faction against another, and repelled with a bitterness corresponding with the malignity of the charge. In this ' State—the State whose vote decided the Presidential election—one of the greatest of the Republican leaders has been reduced to private station, and a large number of his followers are left | ‘ in chronic discontent.” A sadder i picture was never painted. The quar- [ rel in the Republican party grew fiercer while the peril of the President was the most imminent, and if it slumbers now it is only for a time, and will break out again at an early day with more intense bitterness than ever, and it will be for the same old cause—the • spoils." The people will not tolerate such a party, and when next they exercise the right of making up a verdict at the polls the Republican party will be exiled from power.— Stale Sentinel. PETOSKEY PICKINGS. The Main Guy of The Democrat Takes in the Great Resorts of the North, and Notes Numerous Hap penings. Last Friday afternoon, when the mercury stood in the vicinity of one hundred in the shade, I crawled into the interior of a linen duster and, in company with a reversable overcoat and an extra shirt, boarded the G. R. & I. train northward bound with a fixed determination to remain on board as long as she continued to lessen distance between herself and the Polar regions. Nothing occurred to upset my equilibrium until we were bounding along north of Fort Wayne at the rate of some thirty miles per hour. Here I was considerably amused to see and elderly Adams county gentleman purchase a full-grown lemon and slice it up as you would a watermelon. But he did, and the way he proceeded to devour it was of general interest to all the passengers. H's countenance forcibly indicated that the lemon was not an orange. On the succeeding round of the peanut boy a young man squandered a a whole dime in the interest of a very poor cigar. He fired the pointed end of his cigar and puffed away as unconcernedly as if ’twere always so. Pres ently a sickly hue took possession of his otherwise rosy cheeks, and that end of the car was no longer an agreeable place to remain. On arriving at Grand Rapids a broom and a bucket of water materially added to the cleaning of that car. As the train pulled out from Stur- ; gis, Mich., a young fellow sitting in the seat immediately in front of the one occupied by myself scraped an acquaintance with a young lady of rather pleasing address who occupied a seat in the rear end of the coach This acquaint ance was formed through that questionable practice, handkerchief flirtation. They soon occupied the same seat and by the time the train reached Grand Rapids they were wrapped in each other’s embrace. I suggested to the conductor that perhaps stop-over checks would be to their liking. At Reed City a young couple boarded the train, bound for Petoskey. I never in all my life saw a young lady become sleepy so soon after entering a passenger coach. In less than twenty minutes her head was reclining upon his “manly” breast, and in five minutes thereafter a smacking sound was heard. He actually had the gall to kiss her in the presence of that modest crowd. Gall grew apace with repetitions of this character of manifestation of congeniality and they both straightened up and he planted as square, all woolen and a yard wide smack on her lips as was ever my disgust to witness. He didn't do like Jaeob did when he kissed Rachel, sit down and weep; no, indeed. He simply waited until the excitement arose and- then repeated. Reed City is an enterprising town, 1 and it was at this place the passengers i were enabled to get something fit to 1 eat. , Toe so-called restaurant at Kalama- . zoo has very poor health. I wonder that the proprietor don’t get very hungry at times. The coffee is not wholly unlike the Immortal J. N.’s—so weak they have to set it down to rest. The bologna sandwiches at the Kalamazoo restaurant are very good, all things considered. I will not complain about that, as great improvements have been discovered in the manufacture of bologna since this at Kalamazoo was made, and I am not at all disposed to kick. The train stopped at every saw-mill, and at many other places. Petoskey is located on the banks of Traverse Bay, It is a delightful place in the summer season. How they live in winter, or what they live on, is one of the things I failed to find out. The fare at the Cashman House is excellent. Fresh fish every meal. This is their harvest up there, and you have to pay for what you get. I bought three lots out at Bay View and 1 epgaged carpenters to put up summer - cottages for me. I p*.d far them with i erders on delinquent subscribers. s A young k ; . d stepped to the water’s t! edge and picked up a small pebble, rathe I era shapeless sort of thing and asked

, me to buy it. He wanted one dollar for it. I finally bought the thing for j fiv,e cents and gave it to a friend from j the east. I There are two pipers in Petoskey, , 1 the Record ami the Democrat. Both. II are prospering. There are many half-breeds in and . near Petoskey, but they behave much . ; better than the Half Breeds at Al- .' Wr i The Richmond Light Guard band is i' there. They discourse excellent mu- . sic. Much is said about the bill of fare ! at the small hotels situated at the different small lakes in that country. Ou a card of one of the hotels where 1 stopped for a day was this displayed line; ‘ The table supplied with all the delicacies of the season.” I discovered that the delicacies of the season consisted of the fat belly of a she pig, salt-rising bread and rank butter. The butter was so rank that a small piece properly applied would subdue a desperate case of jumping toothache. A Fort Wayne young lady, sitting two seats in front of me, spent much of her time spitting out of the car window. I knew not her motive, unit >s she had a curiosity to ascertain wbetaet or not I supplied myself wi-fi a handkerchief before starting. There are many southern po p e at Petoskey. They enjoy the in iterating atmosphere very much. 1 had the pleasure of. meetb.g Joel P. Heatwole, until recently cd tor of the Middlebury Record. Joel las recovered from the shock sust ii .ed Vy the loss of Lizzie Eveland, and is again in the full bloom of pliysiea’ p< rfection. I consoled Joel by telling lam that a loss of that kind is trifiii g when one gets used to it. Judge Bobo and his fish come into port each succeeding evening. The Judge is regarded as one of the experts uow making yearly trips to that country. I met William Swint, editor of the Boonville, Ind.. Enqmrtr. He is a broad gauge editor, and solid for Gray for governor. A young lady from Cliicago attracted more attention, perliaps, than many others because of he; rare musical education. And, in addition to other accomplishments. she is a lady. If anything worthy of note took place ou my return to Decatur, or rather Fort Wayne, where I stopped off and bothered the Sentinel and Gazette boys for a few hours, I am ignorant of it, as Morpheus took me in charge soon after leaving Petoskey and the train was nearing the Hoosier line ere I was able to redeem myself. I had a very delightful time, all in all, and am not at all sorry that such is the case. It is doubtless better that it is so than otherwise. S. Ray W.
