The deadlock has continued long
enough to bring into prominence the rev.
oIutionarv spirit of the democrats and the
implacable hatred Of the Bourbons OF the
South to any independence of opinion or
action In that section. This appears to be
about all that it can do. i has continued
ak weeks with no other result than this.
should it continue six weeks longer there
is no probability that it will accomplish
any more than it has 1t is hardly neces-
s:.ry to bring up new examples OF Bourbon
insubordination and revolutionary pur-
pose when that party cannot have
things to please itself at Washington
or TO multiply instances ef bulldozing
when disposition is manifested at the
South to disobey its edicts. We have seen
enough of these in times past to know
that they are characteristic Of the party.
The leopard cannot change his spots. the
Bourbops of the South cannot or will not
change their methods. They learn moth
ing and forget what they once knew.
Il is necessary that the business for
which the Senate was convened by the
President should be transacted. Impor-
tant offices must he filled or the public in
terests will suffer 1t is time that the
deadlock be broken so far at least as to
complete the work OF making the necessary
combinations of appointments. After this
j. done the Senate may resume the dead
lock, and spend the time until December

Terrible Explosion.

The Bay City Tribune gives an account
of most terrific boiler explosion which
occurred in West Bay City at 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon, instantly killing
James Kealy, aged 25, Of Bay City, and
VIM. j. Abrams. aged 35, of West Bay
City; badly scalding Edward FinnerOn,
aged Is, and injuring boy named Craft.
The boiler was the agricultural kind on
wheels, and used for running a saw for
cutting cedar pavement blocks. The
cause of the explosion was unknown.
Kealy was manager of the machine, hav-
ing a contract for saving blocks. He
leaves wife and infant child. Abrams
was the engineer and is supposed to have
come from Casevllle.

The following in regard to the open
ing of new lock of the Sault
canal and the benefit naviga-
tiOn will receive, we take from COM
municatiOn from Gen. Weitzel to the
Detroit Post and Tribune.
ut is my intention to open the new
lock Of the st. Mary's Falls canal to COM
merce by passing the steamer City of
Cleveland through on her next trip up
the lakes.
In order that those who are engaged
in navigating the st. Mary's river may
know exactly how this event will benefit
them during the present and next sea-
son, and in order to prevent them from
furnishing q rich harvest to tugs and
lighters, L desire to state the following
in this public manner.
The commerce of the Saint Mary's
river has depended until now Oh the old
locks of the canal. The sills of these
locks have been in a very precariOus con-
ditiOn during several seasons, and have
during the whole of this season consider
ed these locks as unsafe and unreliable.
There has been during two or three sea-
sons danger of one or the other sill
rising and stopping the whole Lake
Superior commerce. With the opening
of the new lock this great and disast-
rous danger is averted.
Again there has been for some time
much delay in passing boats through the
canal owing to deficiency in lock capac-
ity. On the 1st day Of the month AZ
vessels were passed. 1t is safe to say
that the delay averaged 6 hours to 40 Of
them, or the equivalent Of ten full days
to one vessel.
The new lock, when its increased area
and diminished time of passing are con-
sidered together, has about twice the
lockage capacity of the old ones. The
delay on such days as the one above
quoted will then be reduced twO-thirds.' y

How Northern Michigan Increases
i'm Value.
From the Lansing Republican, which
publishes full statement of the result
of the equalization by the State Board at
its meeting in Lansing last week we
gather the following information:
The board closed its work O1 Friday.
The aggregate value of property as
equalized for state taxes is $S1O,OOO.OOO.
against valuation of $630,OO0,OOO in
1876. The northern counties, as a gen.
eral thing, are largely increased, while
many of the older counties remain at
about the same figures as five years ago.
Most of the representatives from the
various counties claimed that supervis-
Ors are assessing at nearly cash value,
and it is evident that they are coming
nearer to the mark than in former years,
for the aggregate of real and personal
estate as assessed in 1881 reached $685.
344,2S3. The increase of valuation from
$630,0O0,O00 in 1876 to $S10,000,000 in
1881, by the state board, is fully justified
in the growth and prosperity of the state
during the last five years.
To show how northern Michigan is
increasing in wealth we give the follow
ing table, showing the valuation
of Cheboygan and some of her neighbOr-
ing counties, as equalized by the State
Board for the years 1876 and 1881.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1881-08-27

From the above table can be seen how
rapidly this part of the state has been
developing during the past five years.
All of the above counties, with the eX-
ception of Presque Isle have more than
doubled their value. Emmett showing
by far the largest per centage of increase
being from 100000 in 1876 to $2,OO0,O00
IN 1881. hut for amount of increase Che
boygan leads them all, her increase of
valuation being $1,S00,000. Emmett and
ShOolcraft coming next with an increase
Of $l,100,000 each, and Mackinac with
$l,650,000. The latter is largely due to
the rapid development and growth of St.
Ignace and country surrounding,
brought about by the prospect of the
completion of the D. M. & M. railroad. To
more fully show our own county has
been developing we give the valuation as
equaliZed by the State Board for the fol-
lowing years: 1866, $l52,S6l; 1871, $780,
600; 1876, $1,200,0O0; 1881, $3,O0OOO0.
With the completion of the railroad, we
have no doubt, the next five years will
show a more wonderful development Of
our rapidly growing county.
The following table will show the
valuation of the counties mentioned
above as equalized by the Supervisors
and the amount added to the valuation
of each by the Board

property at its true cash valuation than
any of the other counties named. En-
