SOME of the Democratic papers of the
state have been trying TO make political
capital out of the delay i'm the publica-
iiOn of the Public Laws of 1877. 1t is
SAID TO arise from requirement of the
Legislature of that session that there be
published Miih them n general
index of all the public laws
passed since the compilation of 1871.
The Detroit Post and Tribune says
This tedious, but very necessary, job has
been done i'm the Stale department., un.
der the dire ction OF Deputy Secretary
Crosby, and has been done very thor
oughly. The index fills nearly 200 pages.
and is arranged on the principle of the
index to the Compiled Laws, so that any
general statutory provision OF the past
five legislative sessions can be readily
found 10y instant reference TO the proper
page Of the Compiled Laws of any year
in which there has been legislation. II
probably contains thousand titles, AM.
great care has been taken to index each
provision enacted underany title to which
reference could reasonably be made for
mention OF ii. Amendatory and'repeal-
ing acts are also indicated, and the pro-
visions to which they apply in the Com
piled Laws, are referred TO. The sections
or chapters amended or repealed are also
shown i'm consecutive order in separate
tables, which show, too, where the
amendatory or repeating law is found.
Every lawyer knows the convenience OF
such a table, especially if he has not kept
up" his Compiled Laws with reference to
later legislation. 1t has been no small
labor TO make up this general index
though the extent and difficulty of such
"a work is hardly appreciated by those
who have not tried it. 1t is worthless, i
inaccurate, and, TO TO it justice, much
time and pains need be given to it. Al
The law required it to be published il
The same volume With the Public Laws
the latter had to be kept back a longe
time than usual. though, as unbount
copies OF the laws were long since fur
hisheJ TO public offices aud to news
papers, there has been no unmitigatei
hardship i'm ths'(elay."

A PHILADELPHIA named Schrack
died, APPARENTLY. at twenty minutes be-
fore o'clock on Sunday morning of last
week. He had been afflicted for four
months with nervous spasms of the
heart, and the announcement of his death
was not unexpected. Some hours after
the physicians had pronounced the Inan
dead, the neighbors engaged i'm prepar
ing the body for the undertaker's hands
heard groan. They discovered that Mr..
Schrack was still living. Rcstoratives
were used and he regained consciousness
to discover that his disease of the heart
had disappeared. He had been numb
and speechless tor hours before his sup
posed death, and he cime out of the stu
por without an ache or pain. During the
time that he was unconcious, about four
hours, he saw Us in vision another
world and SCENES most telutifnl. The
use is i'll every part 'c1lar a strange one.

RETICENCE on the part of the Russians
since they crossed the Danube. has al
ways presaged great event. Reticence
at this time is interpreted by England to
mean mischief. And the fact that Tur-
key should be as reticent on leading
points as'Russia is Suspicious and exas-
perating.

THIS Democratic ''econOmy"is Won
lertul thing. 1t has dismissed the Super
intendent of Parks in New York-the
only man who knows anything about
parks, in order to save his salary of 81,
800, and retains three or four Tammany
politicians as commissioners who know
nothing about pan ks, at five or six times
that expense. Although the teachers
salaries have been cut down to starvation
wages, it talks of Topping off some more,
although hundreds of men are drawing
three times as much money who do
scarcely an hours public work day.
What restraints the taxpayers of New
York from forming vigilance committee
is one of those inscrutable mysteries that
nobody can guess.

The total amount of pensions paid by
the government from 1871 to July i,
1876. was $399. 1927, 1856. Up to 1919 the
annual amount paid out never reached a
million. From 1919 to 1864 they aver
aged about million and half annually.
The largest sum paid out in any one
year was i'm 1871. and amounted to 1884,
624,99O. They are now very slowly fall
ing off.

EVEN if Turkey succeeds i'm concluding
peace with Russia, she apparently has
another war on her hands. The lang uage
used by the Greek Prime Minister is in
terpreted by the war party to mean war,
and it seems altogether probable that
the Greek government will be dragged
into war with Turkey by the very force
of popular clamor. Nor is the contest
so unequal as might Seem at first glance.
Turkey is thoroughly exhausted and de-
mOraliZed by her Russian war. Her
army is practically annihilaied, her
treasury depleted, her prestige vanished.
Vigorous instructions i'm Thesssly and
Crete, backed by the Greeks, would com.
pei her 10 make important concessions.

THE Committee OH Appropriations
have finished the consular and diplO-
matte appropriation bill. Twenty
thousand dollars are appropriated for
diplomatic and consular service, to be
expended at the discretion Of the Presi-
dent. The total amount Recommended
by the bill is $1,0l9,4 35, or reduction OF
Sis, $3.50 from the appropriation last year.
The main features are the reduction in
salaries OF nearly all the representatives
of the United States abroad and the abo-
lition of certain missions.

The mystery in Turkey, and the ex-
element in England, are the things that
cloud the war understanding just now.
Both mystery and excitement are. at
this juncture, dangerous to the peace OF
Europe.

The Committee on Ways and Means,
of the House, has reported new tariff
bill which, If it becomes a
law, will make some radical changes. 1t
may be that the tariff needs adjusting,
but it is something, we think, which
should be dome with care and the effect
thoroughly discussed, so that no change
should be made which would be detri-
mental to the great industries of the
country, upon which so many thousands
of the citizens depend for livelihood.
This tariff bill is something the citizens
of Michigan are particularly interested
in,for the proposed changes threaten some
of the leading interests of the state. The
Detroit Post and Tribune has compiled
a list Of some OF the leading products of
the state, and gives present rates as we'll
as the proposed rates, from which we
select the following:
PRESENT RATES.
Pig iron-S7 per ton.
Scrap iron-$6 to SO per ton.
Railroad bars-70 cts. per cwt.
Boiler plate-11S cts. Per lb.
Sheet iron-1A cts to Ia cts. per lb.
Iron and steel manufactures-30 to 40 per
cent. ad val.
Copper ORES cts per ID. on the pure copper.
Copper plates, bars, etc.-5 cts, per Id.
Old Copper cts per Id.
Lath---15 per cent ad val.
Shingles-S5 cts. per NJ.
Pine claDbOards-S2 Der M
Wool, LIST classic cts. per h., and II per
cent. ad val; I'd classic cts. per h., and IL
cts. ad val; Sd Glass, 6 and II cts. per h.,
and 10 per cent. ad val.
PROPOSED RATES.
Pig iron-S5 per ton.
Scrap iron-S1 per ton.
Railroad bars, STEEL ct. per lib.
Sheet iron-1 ct. per Id.
Ironand steel manufactures 35 per cent ad val.
Copper ore-4 per cent. per Id.
Copper plate, bars, etc.-5 cts. per Id.
Old Copper cts. per Id.
Lath-10 per cent. ad val.
Shingles-3O cts. per NJ.
Pine clapboards-$1 so per NJ
Wool, LIST classic cts per b., no ad val: I'd
Class to 10 cts. per h., no ad val. Sd class
219, and 10 cts. per h., no ad val
1t will seem by the above that there
is large reduction made on the raw
materials in which Michigan is directly
and largely interested. The iron and
copper interests of our state are already
suffering from depression, and should
this bill become law it would SADLY
cripple if not utterly destroy them.
Michigan should be awake to her inter.
ests and be up and doing that her liz
fluenec may be felt before this bill be-
comes law. Now is tho time to put in
the work while the subject is open tor
discussion. We are satisfied that oui
Representatives in Congress will be true
TO the interests of the state. and do al
IN their power to protect the great inter.
ests i'm which all our citizens are sc
vitality interesteds but they can be great
~ aided in their Efforts by the action o.
their constituents. This is something
in which every citizen, having the wei
fare of the state at heart, is deeply in
ierested, for the prosperity of the stat,
depends to a great degree upon thes,
very interests which are SO seriously
threatened.

THERE is prospect that the trial of
Anderson and others, of the Louisiana
Returning Board, will be postponed un-
der orders from the United States Cir
cult court. until an application for a
transfer OF the case from the state to the
federal courts can be argued. Judge
Whitaker, of New Orleans, refused this
motion the ether day, but application
was made to Justice Brady, of the SUI
preme court, for such an order, an old
statute of 1882 having been discovered,
which, it is thought, will authorize the
interference. Ben Butler has been re-
taine0 as counsel in the case, with Mr..
Shellabarger.

A PHILADELPHIA paper characteristics
the new tariff rs an attack on the iron
steel, wooden, and wolsted. and carpet
manufactures. The reduction i'm the lead
ing classes amount to about one-third.. 1t
predicts that it will not pass. Ex-Ap-
praiser BlOdgett says the reduction on
iron is ruinous. In grain and provisions
the reduction is about one-third. which
is of great valne to Canada and the prov
inces, but of no service to our side of the
line. The reduction on dairy products,
oats, corn, etc, would cause a cOnsidera-
BILE loss of revenue. Woods are reduced
about One-third, taking of the nc valorem
and reducing the ten cents of the present
rate to eigitt cents. 1t is hardly prOba-
bic that the bill will pass in its present
shape, but its opponents must be vigil
ant.

The storm Thursday OF last week OH
the New York and New Jersey coasts
was one of unexampled disaster. At
several of the famous summer resorts the
sea swept in in tidal waves and carried
away bath and summer houses and other
outside structures. damaged the hotels,
destroyed roadways, and made havoc
generally. At Coney Island, two fam
lilies, comprising the mothers and five
children aud a nurse, were carried away
and drowned; the men of the families
were away at the time, and so escaped
the fate uf their wives and children. AT
other points on the coast vessels were
wrecked, one of them sinking with all on
Board. Trains weie blocked by the
snow, and disasters succeeded disasters
by land and sea. The fury of the storm
is reported as being without precedent.

A Strange Story,

The Cloayeland Herald has from ODER
lin the story OF young man, named Per.
clval Morton, "who," It says, "ir he IL not
avery shrewd impoSor, is genuine mar.
tyr to Catholic persecution" His story is
briefly as follows: When child he was
placed In convent in Montreal; by read.
ing the Sculptures in the original languages
he became convinced OF the errors or Ro-
manism; with priest and nun he escGpSd,
but they were all recaptured, and, AS H.
the days OF the inquisltion, the priest was
tortured to death by allowing water. drod
by drop, to trickle upon his unshayen head.
The youRg man re-escaped to Vermont,
and was sent by his friends TO school at
lpsilanti, Mich, but was taken from the
ears at Buii 10 by priests and immured in
convent in this city, part of the time In
chains and without sufficient food, At
last IL was decided t. send him, for his per.
tinaclous heresy, TO a peniteutial convent
In Brazil. Again he escaped, in Disguise,
starting for Oberlin, bu. by mistake went
to Wakeman, saw the pastor OF the Con-
gregationa church there, and wished to
receive Protestant baptism by immersion.
He was then sent to Oberin, was examin-
ed by President Fairchild and Others, and
was referred to Rev. IL. IL. Bowden, of the
Baptist church, at whose hands he was i'm.
morsed Tuesday evening last. lie il not
yet OF age, and is in constant fear of priest
iy spies, one Of whom he thought followed
him 70 Oherlin, lie seems TO be scholar,
and to appearance il MS ignorant of the
world rs child. Many who have sect
him are convinced that it is genuine mar
rative others receive il with suspicion.
