FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1889.
RAISE the saioon license.
THE Saloon license should not be less than $250, the full limit of the law.
NOBODY cares whether Grover Cleveland went fishing yesterday or not.
THE majority of the towns in the State are raising the saloon license to $250.
THE people will want to know how the councilmen stand in regard to the saloon license.
SEE that your councilmen are in favor of raising the saloon license to the full limit, $250.
IT will be for the best interests of the town in every way that the saloon license be raised xt Wednesday night. Let the 'he councilmen do their duty.
THE Republicans carried the council, at the Shelbyville city election, and as a result salaries of council and city officers were lowered $1,500, and the saloon tax raised to $250 each. A very good beginning.
THE New York Sun, although Democratic, speaks out against Cleveland in strong terms. It say it in no case can he be the candidate in 1892. The Democracy is not for liim and he is not for the Democracy. It also refers to some of the decisions of Chief Justic Fuller as nebulous prose, and the quotations they give bear them out.
THE City Council will consider the question of raising the saloon licenses at their meeting next Wednesday night. There is no question about the propriety of raising the license from $100 to $250. If the saloons have to exist, let them pay a license that will assist in taking care of the paupers that they are largely instrumental in making. The increase from the six saloons here would be almost $1,000, which would assist the taxpayers of the city to a small extent. If that amount of license lessened the number of saloons so much the better. The smaller the number of saloons the less whiskey will be consumed, and if such a thing is possible, they would be conducted in a way that would damage a less number of people. 3jet all citizens interested in the welfare of our town see their councilmen and urge upon them the necessity of raising the saloon license.
PENSION COMMISSIONER, TANNER has just rendered a decision which gives Philip Flood, of Elyria, O., a pension of §72.00 per month, and $16,000.00 arrearages for total blindness. The Commissioner is deciding in favor of retroactive pensions, and his decisions have about covered all cases, and the old soldiers have great cause to rejoice. The change of front as shown by such papers as the Indianapolis Sentinel, is ludicrous. They were bragging about the great pensions that tho Cleveland administration were giving the soldiers, claiming that the Democratic party was the simon pure friend of the soldier. Now, however, the Sentinel says: 'Pensions cost us more than the people of England or Germany pay for their standing armies. There is grave food for reflection in these facts." §80,000,000 is about the amount spent for pensions, but it will probably be increased to $100,000, 000 under Corporal Tanner. The Sentinel does not stick to facts in regard to the standing armies of Europe. Their cost is as follows: Germany, $105,614,000 France, $121,000,000 Russia, $125,000,000, and Great Britian, $91,000,000. When we consider the fact that our soldiers did more hard fighting ir four years th*n these armies have done in the last ?5 years, the cost does not amount to much. Give the soldiers pensions commensurate with the hardships and privations endured by them through the great four years struggle.
How to Buy a Home.
It is quite easy to show by figures the economy of buying one's house with the assistance of a Building and Loan Association as compared with paying rent. The following statement is only given as a form of comparison every -prospective borrower can change the j|gures ,to suit bis own locality. and occupy two houses worth $3,
000 each (lot, $600, and building, $2,400). is a tenant, paying $25 per month, with $600 in cash, has borrowed $2,400 on twelve shares of a Building and Loan Association, and built his house. Supposing that D's shares mature in twelve years, their accounts at the end of that period will stand thus: has paid out 83,600 in rent, and has nothing to show for it. has paid out: Monthly dues 31.728
Interest Premium, five per cent 120 Search 5® Taxes
Insurance
2e®
100
Interest on value of lot 432
Total $4,418
The neighborhood must be a very inactive one where the increased value of the property will not more than offset the cost of repairs. We find, then, that owns his premises by paying out only $818 more than C, who, at the end of the period named, has nothing to show for his money.—From "Building and Loan Associations," by W. A. Linn, in June Scribner's.
WHAT LOANS ARE MADE FOR. Loans are made to members either to purchase houses already erected, to build houses or to remove existing encumbrances. If a member borrows to build a new house, the money is not paid over to him in bulk, but is paid over to the contractor, on the aduit of the owner and the association's building committee, as the work proceeds.
One of the great advantages of these associations as assistants of persons of small means is, that they can safely lend very close to the appraised values.—From "Building and Loan Associations," by W. A. Linn, in June Scribner's.
EATON, RAPIDS, MICH.
J. M. Loose Red Clover Co., Detroit.— Two years I was afflictcd with a very severe attack of Erysipelas. After two physicians had used their treatment for several weeks and I continued growing rapidly worse, being by this time completely blind, and in their diagnosis concluded that there was no earthly help or hope for me. I gave up, having tried all the remedies I knew or heard of. My neighbor, Mr. Miller, came in to see me one day, and said try Loose's Extract Red Clover, as he had known of it working remarkable cures. 1 told him I had lost hope, that nothing would do me any good in this world, he insisted, and taking his hatwent to the drug store and bought me one bottle and urged me to try it, which I did. Ten days afterwards I sent for two more bottles and it was wonderful how I improved. I continued using it, and today I am better than I have been in years. No sign of Eyrsipelas has show itself and heartily recommend it to suffering humanity as the greatest and best blood purifier in existence. Yours truly,

"Tired All the Time,"
Say many poor men and women, who seem overworked, or are debilitated by change of season, climate or life. If you could read the hundreds of letters praising Hood's Sarsaparilla which come from people whom it has restored to health, you would be convinced of its merits. As this is impossible, wby not try Hood's Sarsaparilla yourself and thus realize its benefit? It will tone and build up your system, give you a good appetite, overcome that tired feeling and make you feel, as one woman expresses it, "like a new creature."

An Irish Dinner in 1747.
Dinner was generally served at 4 p. m. It was abundant to profusion. The wines were excellent, being the choicest produce of French and Spanish vineyards, whose quality was remarked by almost all visitors to Ireland and the potations were, as at the same period in England, long and deep. Costly silver, handsome glass and china, and the fin eat linen appeared in all the better class houses. A characteristic feature was the "potato ring." This was of silver, richly chased, and was used to support the great bowl in which potatoes were then brought to table. The sequence of courses differed widely from that now general. Soups came in the third or fourth place fish, flesh and sweets jostled each other while potted meats and cold pasties were not unfrequent items on the rnll of fare.
For more accurate knowledge of what our ancestors ate at their principal meal we are indebted to a chronicler of the time. In 1747 she sends the following menu of a dinner to her sister the quaint spelling is retained: "First course—Fish, beefsteaks, rabbit and onions, fillet of veal, blamange, cherries, Dutch cheese. Second course—Turkey, pout [poult?], salmon, pickled salmon, grilde [grilse?] and quaills, little terrene peas, cream, mushrooms terrene, apple py, crabs, leveret, cheesecakes, almond cream, currants and gooseberries, orange butter, Dessert—Raspberries and cream, sweet- I meats and jelly, strawberries and cream." She adds: "1 give as little hot meat as possible. The invitation was to 'beefsteaks,' which we are famous for."— Blackwood's Magazine.
Witty Toasts.
Good after dinner speakers are among the most popular of men among people who cultivate the art of dining. The I flashes of wit which draw forth roars of I laughter and applause are sometimes unpremeditated, but probably they are I more frequently thought out and rehearsed in advance. Impromptu or not, we all like a witty speech and a witty toast. Chambers' Journal has collected somo witty and amusing toasts given at banquets, and, in reading them, one can only sigh, "Would I had been there!"
A rather cynical toast ran thus: "Woman—she requires no eulogy: she speaks for herself."
A gallant young man, under the same festal circumstances, referred to one member of the sex he eulogized as "a delectable dear, so sweet that honey would blush in her presence, and treacle stand appalled."
At the marriage supper of a deaf and dumb couple, one guest, in the speech of tho evening, wished them "unspeakable Jjliss."
A writer of comedies was given a banquet in honor of his latest work, at which a jovial guest gave the toast: "The author's very good health! May he live to be as old as nis jokes."
At another gathering were toasted, "The bench and the bar: If it were not for the bar, there would be little use for the bench."
As pithy was the following toast, proposed at a shoemaker's dinner "May we have all the women in the country to shoe, and all the men to boot."
