An Apostrophe to Rain.

Why hast thou forsaken us? o
Rain! Thou passest to the north,
to the south, to the east and to the
west, and fallest upon the just and the
unjust of the neighboring lands; thou
waterest the fields of our enemy, and
causest him to rejoice in his good
fortune and at our sorrow. Our
fields are sere and dry; yea we seek
our potatoe patches and find no sub
stance in them-neither do the bugs.
Verify, our eyes are filled with smoke,
and our notrals with dust. Our laun.
dry bill filleth our soul with anguish
and emptieth our purse of gold.
How much longer wilt thou evade
us, and cause us to eagerly scan the
sky for the little cloud no bigger
than mans hand?ng Oh, that we
bad godly man like the prophet of
old, in our midst, who night by his
faith cause thee to be sent to us in
great abundance, to water our parch-
ed hands, and to cause the cucumber
to swell, and the pumpkin-vine to
rejoice. Delay not thy coming we
pray thee, for verify, our cisterns are
empty, and our hearts are sick with
hope long deferred.

sequently every business man seemed
to take 1t as personal insult when the

found empty. The Messrs. Ely laugh
ed so heartily and were kept so busy
soothing the wounded feelings of the
community that they were nearly used

agree that there is nothing "fishy" in
his complimentary remarks about the

"Aftcr visiting friends in East Sag
inaw, few days were spent at the
sanitarum opened a few weeks ago
at Alma, Gratiot county, under the

ing. We can trutbfuIIy say there never
was more prominent and respectable
representation Of our citizens at any
public gathering; nor was the meeting
manipulated 10 the interest Of liquor
dealers"-there was fair representa-.
ton Of all classes an busine So men and
the discussions were open to all sides.
As for It's "remarkab!eness" it was
remarkable for the earnestness Of the
people to have the present law resub-
mitted to the people. As to the Gov
ernor having the power to suppress
the clubs and refuses to exercise this
power, we are not acquainted enough
with the law and facts to decide; but
it seems to us absurd that the Gov
ernor should be clothed with such
power and will not exercise it, while
His Honor upon the bench there has
given his judicial sanction to the ex-
istence of the clubs.n If we are to
judge by these expressions of Law
and Order our Judges who sit upon
the bench, as also the Governor who
is sworn under the Constitution of
our State TO administer the laws, are
derelict of their duty and are liable to
impeachment. Law and Order"
should proceed at once to have is
sued quo warranto" against these
officials and have them impeached for
misdemeanor 10 Office. The present
law has been tried aud found to be
failure; it has opened up new chan
nels of vice and has demoralized and
corrupted the morals of the youth Of
our city through the Social Clubs,
and the people demand of the Legis-
lature the right of resubmitting the
question whether or not this state of
affairs shall continue. We claim that
the Legislature has no right to deny
this request, it is question for the
people themselves to settle.

The Hazing Cadet Gases.

The decision of the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States in the re
cent cases of the Naval Academy
Cadets that q court-martial may
properly have jurisdiction of charge
of "hazing" is of interest to any and
many people. The fact that hazing
is not a statutory offence is held by
the Attorney General to be no reason
why court-martisl should not deal
with cadet who is guilty of the con-
duct which is defined under that
charge.
