Nineteen Years Ago.

Just nineteen years ago II. w. Sage
came to West Bay City to establish his
large saw mill, now owned by III. w.
Sage g. Co., at that time the largest in
the world. There were then but two
houses in Winona. The Saginaw river
was bounded by banks 200 feet west of
where his mill now stands, and that es-
adjustment was built upon apple found
alton some distance from the shore.
The water flowed within few feet OF
the door of the present mill office. which
was the only building connected with the
establishment located upon terra firma
Bay City was, Mt the time of Mr.. Sage's
arrival, small, unimportant town OF
about 5000 inhabitants.-Bay City
Tribune.

ed habit of commencing the exanlina-
ton of a witness with these words
"Now, sir, l am going to put question
to you, and l don't care which way you
answer it, Brougham had begun, like
many others, to grow tired of this ex.

his brother lawyer near the temple, and

Sales of Railroad Lands.

Thus far this year the Grand Rapids
and Indiana Land Department has been
very busy with sales of lands from the
grant of the road, most of the sales
being of agricultural lands. The sales
have averaged more than $4,000 per
month thus far this year. 1t is quite
evident from this fact that Northern
Michigan is rapidly filling with settlers,
and that the business Importance OF
Grand Rapids as the commercial me-
tropolis of Western Michigan must rap

PRESIDENT ARrHuas coMnIsslos.

As was anticipated, the commission
appointed by the President for the pur-
pose of revising the present revenue
system, consists in the main OF men
who are supposed to be special advo-
Gates of protection, and high tariff,
and the people can expect no relief at
their hands. Instead Of selecting men
who stand as the representatives of the
interest, most injuriously affected by the
present high tariff, he has seen fit to
appoint set Of political dead.beats,
and party tiamps, who represent no
business enterprises whatever. Select
ed, as these commissioners have bssn,
without any regard to their fitness for
the duties to DO performed by them,
" ithout more than the mere shadow Of
geographical distribution in their APP
pointment, what good can be expected
to result from this packed commission 7
Congress disgracefully shifted the
responsibility of revising the revenue
system upon President Arthur, and he,
inasmuch as he does not expect to en-
ter the race for second term, willfully
abuses the powers vested in him by the
act, and appoints such commission as
will subserve his wishes, and not those
of the people.
The enormous revenue raised by the
government is Far in excess of the
amount actually required, and there can
be no reason to overburden the people
with taxation.
Ii Congress continues, session ate:
session, to carry on sort of sehool-boy
Irritation with such legislation as is most
needed to curtail the expenses Of the
government and to reduce the enor.
nous rates of taxation, then the best
thing it can do is to appoint board to
invest the surplus funds that are accu-
mulating in the treasury.
There would be as much sense ia the
appointment OF such board, as tbere
is in some of the commissions provided
tor by congress, and more good would
likely result from it thar viii ever be
accomplished by the tariff commission.
