Pass the Resolution,

Senator McMillan's resolution directing an
inquiry into the question of water supply and
distribution in this city will DO called up
to-day. Tle time of the senate is not so
crowded but that enough of it may be given
to do this subject justice. No risk of wrong
to anybody will be involved in passing the
resolution. On the contrary, fairness to all
will be served by passing it. No discussion is
needed. TO postpone it, or to refuse to pass
it, would be to prolong hardship which no
one in the senate has or should have any wish
to see prolonged.

THERE is something very practical and
sound in the tone of Senator Logans report
on ordnance, which should and probably will
commend itself to the senate us well as to the
country, oven though it may not meet the
whole approval Of the army folk. It's sug-
geStions are so obviously common-senso and
economical that they will scarce need algu-
ment to help them on.

the tariff question: said The avenue man to
Phil Thompson, Of kentucky. "Oh, yes,
we've got 'om, We have 'cm where John
PhUnix had his adversary, and we are hold
ing 'em down with our noses between their
teeth. They will shut us up and buck and
gag us ON tho previous question in day or
two, am afraid" And then, cutting loose,
Mr.. Thompson expressed the opinion that the
majority was in a bad state Of demoraliza-
tion andthat it was absolutely necessary to
spring tho previous question to keep it
from going all to pieces and making
humiliating exhibition of itself before
the country. Mr.. Thompson but voices the
sentiments ofhis fellow democrats when he
says he fears the republicans and their Z" in
cidental protection" Democratic allies may
do something yet with tho tariff bin. They
have about made up their minds that they are
to be put in hole and kept there at the close
Of the debate on the metal schedule. II is not
clear what grounds they have for feeling so
certain that they will be Theoretically scaled
for a few days, but it isq quite evident they feel
that way. and that they are becoming resigned
to their fate.

WHOLE NO. 1906.


On Friday last, about noon, the Decatur
staVe mill was burned. The building WIS a
lightly one, containing ma
chinery for saw mill, and for the manufac-
ture of slaves and heading, and burned very
rapidly, being soon nothing but heap of
ashes and glowing embers. A good deal of
the machinery was totally destroyed, while
some of it can be repaired There was no
insurance on the property which belonged
to stock company recently organized. We
understand that.the mill will be Immediately
rebuilt, which is fortunate, as the enterprise
was the principal manufacturing interest of
our neighboring village, and could not well
be spared. The residence of Mrs. Bugbee,
some forty rods distant, caught fire from
flying cinders, burning quite a hole in tho
roof before il was discovered and extin-
guished. Mrs. b. was at Paw Paw visiting
relatives, no person being in the house at
the time of the fire.

The suit of Mrs. Inez Matthews, of this
village, widow of Chas. Z. Matthews, de-
ceased. against the Etna life insurane
company, which was pending in the United
among other insurance, had $1,000 policy
in the Etra. The other companies oil paid
their policies according to contract, bat tho
Etna refused to pay, alleging fraud on ths
part of the deceased. Mrs. Matthews brought
suit against the company, III the United
States court, through her attorneys AnnabIs
& Fitch. The cause was expected to be tried
this week, at Grand Rapids, but just as
client, counsel and witnesses were getting
ready to go to that city, representative Of
the company put IN an appearance, with
propositions TO settle, and the claim was ad-
iusted at the sum of $1,7On We hear that
the agent who settled the claim, requested
that the beneficiary, or her friends, should
speak good words for the company. They
will not be apt TO feel much like doing 80, in
view of the action of the company III refer
ence to the loss. If the claim was valid
one, and we have no doubt il was, then il
was the plain duty of the company to pay it,
as they agreed to do, when they entered into
the contract. If il was fraudulent claim,
then they did injustice to their other policy
holders by paying 81, 700 to settle an invalid
claim of only $1,000. n view of the fact
that they paid so nearly the face of tho
claim, it is legitimate conclusion that they
did not think it tinctured very strongly with
fraud, but cared more for retaining the $500
than for living up to their con tract Their
management of this loss will not commend
them in any great degree, To the patronage
OF our citizens.

Dear Sir:-In the purchase of our Mime

vesters at a less figure than we paid for the
Minneapolis. From its general construction
as we saw it then, we thought it the best.
and it has proved itself so to perfection. We
have harvested fields that were tried with q
self-rake reaper and failed, and the old
"Minne.' went through without any trouble
at all. We think it the best Harvester and
