The Michigan Dam.

Some twelve or fourteen years ago
queerly-dressed, eccentric-aoting indi-
vidual appeared at Lansing during the
session of the Legislature and asked
various members to introduce bill to
enable him to build a dam on Wolf
River, somewhere in the northern coun-
ties. The matter was allowed to go by
default. and at the next session the old
man showed up again. This time bill
was introduced, but before it came up
he got tired and went home. When q
third session opened he was on hand,
but only to be tired out again by de-
laws. Last fall Detroiter who was q
member of the House and remembered
the case met the old man up the lake
shore and said to him:
az shall go to the Legislature again
this year and you come to me with your
bill and I'll push it for you"
"Thank ye, but it's no use," replied
the old man.
"Don't you want the dam ?"
"Fact is, I built the dam before I
asked permission OF the law"
swell, you'd better have things in
legal shape"
"No use. Durin' the first session the
dam went with a freshet. During the
third Wolf River dried up until il
wouldn't turn a pin-wheel, and I want
the Legislature of Michigan to under
stand that I'm q free. born American
citizen and SAX no favors of anybody 7"

Preparing for War.

A dispatch from London to the New
York Times, says: Lieut.. Col. Sweny,
of the Seventh Fusileers, who for many
years has been at Gibraltar, had long
interview with an American official
here on the possibility of buying horses
and mules in the United States. He
made special inquiries about the mule
breeding localities, and the tone of his
questions gave the impression that the
Government is thinking of making ex-
tensiye purchases. Already so much
criticism has been called out by the
large meat contracts given to firms in
Chicago that it is officially explained
that the English meat packers cannot
be patronized, and that the contract
which was given to the Messrs. Moir
here was so badly filed that it had to be
revoked. The temporary relief caused
by the pacific talk of the Marquis of
Harrington, is almost dissipated by the
statement that Russia comedies no single
vital point at issue. The war prepare
tions are going ahead as briskly as ever,
and there is absolutely no real reason
to count on q peaceful solution.

A Chinese Gala Day,

Monday was gala day in Chinatown,
New York. The news of the French
rout at Langson, the first important VIC
tory gained by the Chinese in the pres.
ent war, changed Mott street into a
bedlam. Flags. banners and lanterns
were hung out from every house. On
the club house at No. 16 new flag was
unfurled. On the pale yellow ground
a black and blue dragon was apparently
endeavoring to swallow a red billiard
ball. Deputy Sheriff Tom Lee said that
the design was "Makee believe Dlagon
Chinaman, led ball Flenchmen."
On the Chinese bulletin board along
with the report of the victory was an
announcement that the government al
Pekin had made general of the soldier
who shot Gen. Negrier, and had pre-
scented him with a gratuity of 10000
taels ($l8, 000).
How the Chinese received the news Of
the victory in detail, in advance of the
Associated Press, is a mystery that nc
fellow can find out, unless it be China
man.

TREATING. A bill has been passed by
the Nevada Assembly imposing fine Of
$40 on any person who treats another In
a saloon. The bill does not prevent any
number OF persons from going into a
saloon and drinking together, but re-
ouires that each man shall pay Tor his

passed the Wisconsin Legislature, bat
upon a test case being taken TO the

The Awful Row That IS Hatohing
Among Our Hoosier Neigh
bors.
indianapolis Special.

1t is learned from Democratic
sources that there is reason for be-
lieving. that Mr.McDonald is an avow-
ed candidate for the Senate two years
hence, and that in the factional fight
which will naturally follow this can
didacy he will burn the bridges be-
hind him. There is also reason for
believing that he will be championed
by Senator. VOORHEES, and the editor
of the Sentinel, while Mr.. Hendricks
will serve similar purpose for Gov.
Gray and that the result will be the
political death-knell in this state for
either the Governor, Mr.. Hendricks
or Mr.. Mcdonald. In the very ma
ture of things it will be a fight of
political giants. 1t is no secret that
the friends of Mr.. Mcdonald all feel
deeply chagrined over Mr.. Hendricks
course, and they attribute the failure
of Indiana to secure recognition in
the Cabinet TO his lack Of action, if
not his direct opposition. The feel
ing that Mr.. Hendricks betrayed Nc
Donald at Chicago has been growing
ever since the National Convention,
although it was practically lost sight
of in the campaign and now it leaks
out, or at least it is whispered, that
Mr.. Mcdonald was averse to Mr..
Hendricks being sent as delegate,
but that he was over-ruled by Hen
dricks' friends, who demanded that
the Governor should represent In
diana in naming him (McDonaid) for
the presidency. Mr.. Hendricks did
serve him, but his heart was not in
his task, and that personal magnet
ism with which he is said to abound
failed to materialize in McDonald's
interest to any appreciable extent.
1t is said by those in condition to
know that Mcdonald, while giving a
cordial support to Cleveland's Ad-
ministration, will notexcept any pol
itical distinction at his hands, should
such be offered, preferring, in obe-
dience to the wishes of his friends, TO
remain here in active politics in or
der still further to strengthen his
footing with the Indiana Democracy
preparatory to the final struggle for
the Senate, 1t is also said that Mr..
Henderson, Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, will
be numbered among Gov. Gray's sup
porters. Something of the nature
and intensity of the row which is al
ready in the air may be judged when
such triumvirates as Hendricks,
Gray and Henderson upon the one
hand, and Voorhees,, Mcdonald and
the organ of the party OH the other,
hold their final meeting to test con-
clusions. 1t will practically upset the
State and paint it double red.

The world is full of sick people,
made so by living under depressing
conditions because ofphysical wrong
doing. The abuse ofsplrituons liquors
is probably the cause of balf the ills
to which modern flesh is heir. Drunk.
eness is the vice of the race, for it is
found in every country and among
all conditions of men. This is why
the foremost men of the age are de-
manding, in the best interest of the
RAGS, that the traffic in intoxicating
drinks should be absolutely prohibit
ed. The experiment has been tested
in Maine for nearly forty years, and
has proved SO beneficial that at the
last State election there was a
majority Of over forty thousand in
favor of constitutional amendment
to the law, making it still more difficult
to buy liquor in the Old Pine State.
The law is violated only on the bor-
ders of New Hampshire and Canada,
and on the coast, where vessels arrive
with liquor from other ports. The
newspaper press has tried to convey
the impression that the prohibitory
laws have been failures in Iowa and
Kansas; but this is not true. The
courts, in interpreting the law, have
favored the liquor interest, and it
always requires time to effect so radi-
cal change as the extirpation of
business which is so powerful as the
liquor interest; but the prohibitory
laws are being enforced, and the liq-
uor traffic is being restricted in every
quarter OF these important States. In
every section of the country is this
deep feeling against unrestricted liq-
uor traffic growing. In some places all
that is yet demanded. are high license
laws; but the liquor sellers well know
that these are only precursors of more
radical legislation. They are the
showers that precede the storm. 1t
is notable fact that, notwithstanding
the growth of our population, there
is less whiskey manufactured now
than in 1882. In 1883 there was a
decrease Of 100000 gallons COM
pared with the previous year. There
was somewhat more manufactured
in 1884, but all accounts agree that
the manufacture of spirits is decreas-

1t is a curious tact that one of the
most famous poems in our language
appeared originally in magazine
that seldom touches poetry at all, and
the same periodical, after an interval
of sixty-six years, now brings out
another poem very similar in theme.
Bryants "Thanatopsis" was first
printed in the North American Re-
view, for September, 1917. The May
number Of the review, just out, has a
poem by Robert Buchanan on "The
New Buddha." The critics found
fault with Mr.. Bryant's poem on the
ground that it was un-Christian; it
remains to be seen what they will
say of Mr.. Buclianan's. The ques-
tion, elias Christianity Benefited
Woman?' is ably discussed in this
number by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Bishop j. l.. Spalding.
