we arrive, when restrictions are exercised to
derogate from the rightful equality of Others
The light of truth never wanes by contract
with error; crushed to earth she rises again,
FURNISHED with the friction of conflict. The
great natural law written upon the natures of
the sexes will without the weak resort to hui
man legislation clearly and distinctively appor-
ton the relations which they are to hold to
each other. The vigorous and rigid combina-
ton Of man, wM lead the delicate, but finely
adjusted organism of woman, as of naturalc con
sequence, without the humiiating contingent

establish his pre-eminent qualifications for
intellectual ascendency, then let him take the
point upon the scale of human progression
which his powers accord him, and let mind in
whatever casket be formed, assume the
functions of It's nature. Mind wM seek its
own congenial place. Let reinforcement
therefore spring from hope, not law, and if
need be, resolution from despair" Let not
the wall of interference "dethrone the Judge
ment. Woman never will assume the special
offices of man and conversely the same is
equally true. An irrevocable law forbids it,
Their several spheres are as distinct as the
great lights of the solar system, and each to
the other, as necessary, for the perfect regular
ity of its evolutions. The Sun inducts the
day of project, discovery and national wealth !;
the Moon ilumines the night with its mys-
FERROUS depths, and sparkling treasures.
Woman will no more revel amid the troub-
lous conflict of mans nerveless life, than he
will seek to profanate the inner sanctuary of
her peculiar sphere. Give her the exercise
of share in political will, and into that are
ma will she transfuse a portion of her human
izing nature. The contact with man in this
relation will no more interrupt the play of all
her delicate, sensibilities, than does present
relation serve to assuage the gush OF earnest
sympathy which emanates and permeates the
endless ntricacies of humanity.
Michigan has, in one regard, awakened to
the disparity which the sexes hold in pecu-
mary point of view. She hurls from her
brow that relic of tyranny and barbarism
which consigns all of woman's possessions to
the shuttle of human calamity, by which her
sustenance is to be eked out at the measure
of her years. Let this iniatory step be fol-
lowed by surrender of all the legal disabil-
tiles which cucumber her dignity as State.
Then the refreshing exhalations which invest
the sea, spreading like clouds of prolific wing
over the territory of animate life, and she'd
ding their genial dews to irrigate and enrich
the mind, the "better half" of nature will
rise like morning incense to immortaize the
of Michigan's proud fame.
In the submission of this, together with
resolution in consonance Herewith, we ask to
be relinquished from the further consideration
of the subject, commencing the whole to the
just and dignifed regard Of the Honorable
Senate.

Of COMMITTEE.

the severely cold weather and scarcity Of pro-

have thus persisted, and that relief train of
Utonians, sent out to their assistance, had
been obliged to turn back from similar
cause. Other trains had been despatched
with but little better success.

LANSING, reDy b, 1901.
ED, TINES: On Saturday the Senate
passed the bill authorizing the Detroit and
Milwaukee Railway Co. to extend their line
of Railway South, from Grand Haven to
South Haven and New Buffalo, via Holland,
by the following VOTE
Yeas-Messrs. Beebee, Bills, Boies, Brown,
Garfield, Conger, Fairfield, Ferry, Graveraet,
HOLSTER, Jerome, Lowell, Morrison, Meyers,
Near, Pattison, Pierce, Redfeld, Roberts,
Seymour, Weld, Whitney, Wilcox--2s.
Nays-Messrs. Arms, Lamb, Lapham,
Shurtz-4.
1t has since gone down to the House where
no doubt DR.. Goodrich, the Allegan Co.
Representative, and who lives on the line of
the proposed extension, will labor with his &C
customed zeal to have this road extended
South.
TO Mr.. Ferry is all the credit due for this
movement, as he was the first to originate it.
Eventually the road can be extended North,
to Muskegon, Pere Marquette and Traverse
Bay, and thence to Duncan.
The House appropriated $4,000 in mon
ey, for the improvement of Muskegcn River,
instead Of donation of Swamp Lands. If
the Senate should make this appropriation,
it would be far better for the Muskegon peo-
pie. sincerely hope this appropriation will
become law
The Railroad Land Grants have not yet
been disposed of. The lands on the Grand
Rapids and Grand Traverse route have been
voted to the Grand Rapids and Indiana Rail
road Co. in the committee of the whole, in
the Senate. Resp'y, d. G.. H.

The TE"-AssAssrNATIoN OF
BURDELL.--A new trap game has recently
been introduced into New York and other
cities East. 1t is accomplished by throwing
rope or cord over the head and around the
neck of the intended victim, and instantly
drawing it so tightly as to suppress any out
cry. Great excitement prevails at present in
New York, occasioned by the recent murder
of DR.. Burdell, wealthy dentist, living on
Bond street, within few PAGES of Broadway.
The deed was accomplished in the night, in
his operating room, situated in part of a
house owned by him, but occupied by Mrs.
Cunningham, who had two gentlemen board
ers at the time of the tragedy, Mr.. Ezekiel,
and Mr.. Snodgrass, Minister'S son. DR.. B.
had his rooms in the house, but boarded at
the Metropolitan Hotel.
Mrs. G. claims to have been recently mar
ried to DR.. Burdell-who until recently had
remained single-in proof of which she pro-
duces certificate signed by certain clergy
man of the city who has appeared to give ev
idence before the Coroners Jury touching the
matter, but can not testify with any certainty
to the identity of the murdered man with
the bridegroom claimed by Mrs. G. as her
husband Notwithstanding the marriage
claimed by Mrs. c., with'Dr. b., kind of in
timacy was kept up between herself and Mr..
Eckel that suspicious unfavorable to all par
ties were disclosed on examination before
the Coroner.
1t does not appear that any noise was heard
by the family during the commission of the
deed, and yet the most rigid scrutiny has fail
ed to fasten the guilt upon any member of
the family. Upon examination Of the body
it was ascertained that an attempt was prob
ably at first made to "garrote" the unfortu-
nate man-as the skin about the neck was
discolored, and the tongue protruded-but
not succeeding in this, dirk was made use
of to accomplish the deed; fifteen stabs were
found about the neck and chest, almost any
one Of which would have produced irnmedi-
ate death. The blood upon the walls of the
room and floor denoted desperate struggle
with the assassin. DR.. B. is reported to have
been worth 100000.
An attempt has, since the tragedy above
alluded to, been made to "garrote" gentle
man in broad day, while standing in his own
door, in one Of the public streets, by two ruff
fans. But by desperate effort on the part
of the intended victim, the cord was loosed
from around his neck, and, by the aid of po-
liceman, attracted to the spot by the cutlery
of the assaulted gentleman, one of the scoun-
drels was arrested. A desire for plumber was
the motive
So common has garrotting" become in
England that an act has been passed subject
ing every Garroter to perpetual Punishment.

EV Long faces have somewhat shortened,
and serious ones have materially frightened
within a few days past, as the prospects of our
village being the terminus of the d. q M.
Railway have become more apparent. En-
gineers have been quite busy for week or
two past sounding the river and running a
line through the streets of our village. We
understand this line terminates at the "Old
Beech Tree" on this side, and thence crosses
the river. But as to where the precise loca-
ton will yet be, those only know who can see
further than we in the future.

EE- The funeral of Hon. Preston Brooks,
whose death we briefly alluded to last week,
was numerously attended at the Capitol, by
the President, Heads of Departments Judges
of the Supreme Court, Members of Congress,
and others. The proceedings in the House
were somewhat marred by an indirect refer
ence to the Sumner affair, by Mr.. Savage,
which produced much indignation on the part
of the Republicans. Many left the Chamber
feeling insulted by the reference, and at
tempts were made to suppress or qualify the
untimely and inappropriate remark, which
was-referring to the brutal assault-that
the world has ever since approved and APP
plauded the wisdom and justice of the deed"
In relation to the death of Mr. Brooks, the
Charleston Is. CO. Courier says: "The
name of Mr. Brooks has lately been promi-
nent and in frequent mention from causes
which none regretted more than himself"

CRIMINAL DIsCLusUREs-The st. Louis
Democrat, commenting on the recent
arrest Of counterfeiters in that city.
makes some startling revelations, which
with others of like character in other
cities. should arouse public attention to
the increase of this species Of crime. 1t
says:
A deeper or more extensive scheme Of vii
lainy, arranged to plumber the community
and enrich the knaves who have concocted
and were successfully executing it, has rarely
been disclosed than that brought to light
during the past week. Some ten thousand
four hundred and ninety-fve dollars OF
counterfeit bills, have been seized by the po-
lice, and its possession fastened upon the
guilty parties. One only, of the arrested,
frao is Enoun to be guilty, has thus far eluded
the law. With the bills were found much
valuable jewelry, and O lot Of church utensils
fgold and silver chopped up. The details
of the arrest and legal proceedings, scarcely
indicate the startling nature OF the facts IN the
case. The long continued and assidious
: watchfulness of the chief of police, has de-
: tected the existence among us, Of large
T. party of dealers in spurious bank bills, acting
systematically with similar parties in the
principal cities of the union. They plan to
make their fraudulent issues on the same day
throughout the country, and in each city
: after banking hours .r.I
The st. Louis crew are known to embrace
men Of respectability. engaged actively in
honorable and lucrative callings. These
gentlemen, unconsciously to themselves, are
personally knoscn. Their operations have
been marked when they imagined no eye was
supon them. The walls within which they
have traded in fraud and reckoned
their ubiquitous gains in shrewd dis
guises, have told on them, and birds Of the
lair have carried the matter. Had it been con-
=sistent with justice to have permitted the false
foen thousand dollars TO issue and be scattered
through the community, these men would
have felt the scourge Of the law. But, fol
- iIe >saiee 'of thousands Of honest men, thej
ARE at present spared.
After the arrest of the prisoners which
~waskept secret, certain Of the 'respecta-
A5le gentleman" connected with the bust.
mess, were seen at horse auction, which
had beea held weekly at the rendezvous
as blind, ostensibly to buy mules. They
have thus been buying mules indefinitely
and have doubtless realized large Proii
on these pretended purchases.
