all this money was paid out by the city
without the approval Of the council. al.
though the State laws of Ohio distinctly
require that every claim be in the regular

The publication creates a great scnsa.

The Senate.

The Senate.
WASHINGTON, January 1+.-SENATE.
The resolutions heretofore offered by
Mr.. Call in relation to the claims OF
Florida under the swamp land grant,
and in relation to alleged unlawful selec-
tions Of land in Florida, were taken up
and Mr.. Call addressed the senate upon
them. The burden of his remarks was
that the lands which were not swamp
and overhowed, but which were fit for
cultivation, had been selected under the
swamp land act to the inquiry OF the
peoples rights. He asserted that two
hundred millions of acres had been Sc
lected and approved, in all the States, as
swamp and overAow;ed lands. while
everybody knew that no such extent OF
territory las large as Europe) consisted
of swamp and overfowed lands. This
was fraud upon the people of the
United States for whom the public lands
should be held as sacred heritage. OF
the sixteen million acres which had been
passed in Florida, under the swamp and
overhowed lands act. he asserted that
eleven million were high and dry.
Mr.. Plumb replied to Mr.. Call. He
said that the United States had granted
to the State of Florida more than half OF
the lands within its limits. The State
contained about forty million acres and
more than one half that had been given
to the State for various purposes. Every
single acre Of land SO granted had been
placed under the control of the legisla-
turc of Florida. Some sixteen or eigh.
,ecn million acres had been granted as
swamp and overfowed lands. Senator
Call had just told the senate that most
oft was not swamp, but arabic land.
So much the greater was the dcreliction
Of the Senator's State, If it had betrayed
its trust. He wished the senator would
say on the stump in his own State what
he had said here to-day.
Without action on the resolution, the
senate proceeded to executive business,
and at 4 O'Clock adjourned.

OFFICIAL PAPER or THE CITY.
Grand RAPIDS. WEDNESDAY, MARCH S
sHoCLD BE SETTLED.

The question Of legal liability, which
arises 10 connection with the claim of
Stuart, Knappen & Van Arman, for de-
Tending Officers w. J. Hurley, c. F.
Kennedy and l. C. Smith, when they
were prosecuted by Lyon and Sparks
for false Imprisonment, is of more Inn
portance than the amount of the bill.
Alderman Turner IS right in saying
that the question of responsibility, as
between city and county, should be
settled oy the Supreme Court.
As the county is the unit in the pros
eeution Of criminal offenses, and not
the city, II would seem as If such ex-
penses should DO borne by the county.
A mere city officer, as such, has no
right % serve criminal warrant issued
under the laws OF the State. He must
have, from some source or other, powers
given 10 hun superior 70 those of mere
police officer. He must be actually a
deputy sheriff or constable to enable
him 20 serve a criminal warrant City
officials are frequently appointed depu-
ties by the sheriff, or are vested with
the powers Of constables, by authority
ofthe Legislature, in charter provisions,
ss is the case in Grand Rapids. This is
done 70 make more effective the arrest
and prosecution OF the criminal class,
which always centers IN large cities.
But city officials, when acting under
this authority. are aiding the county in
one of It's most important duhes-the
prosecution of crlmlnals-and not act
Ing for the city.
In nine cases out of ten, actions for
false Imprisonment against officers
arse. not because the fellow who COM
plans did not richly deserve lmprison-
ment. but because, on account Of some
technical defect, an officers warrant or
his Official character does not protect
hin. II an officer renders himself
liable technically TO al action for false
Imprisonment, when he is honestly
trying TO do bis duty, then the COM
munity for whom ne is acting, whether
city or county, should hold him harm
less.
Again the the TELEGEAw-HERAIp
says. with Alderman Turner, let the
question bc settled.

this country is able TO supply all the tin
required for It's consumption as advan-
tageously as can be supplied in any part
of the world.
In the first place, the tariff act OF 1854
fixed the duty on tin plate at two and
half cents per pound. the same as gal
vauized sheets. but this rate was changed
by a treasury decision which has rightly
been termed one OF the most inexcusable
and costly ever made. II this rate Of

indirectly 100000 laborers and consum-
ing annually 10000 tons of American
pig iron, !, ,000. 600 tons Of American iron
ore, 400. 900 sons of American limestone
and 100000 tons Of American coal
Such is the amount Of raw material con-
sumsd in producing the tin plate con-
sumed in this country.
To furnish this supply 100 mills and
thinning works, each with over 5000 tons
annual capacity, would be needed. as the
produc. aggregates 3lS. 900 tons. or 636,-
000.0 pounds. The cost of producing
this tin plate to the country would mere
y be the cost Of the material consumed
in producing il. as we have capital and
labor and land on which TO build the
mills in abundance. Instead OF this we
have wickedly and wantonly sent this
money abroad to enrich a greedy syndi-
cate of English manufacturers. Since
1854 we have sent abroad $296. $40. .655.07
in gold to purchase tin plate, and. in ad-
dition to this, revenue tariff has been
paid of SIS. 1886, ,S92.s0 Here we have.
without the duties. $500. 200 600 sent out
of the country. every dollar OF which
might have gone to add to the resources
of this country and improve the condi-
ton of American labor. The 100000
men employed directly and indirectly in
making this tin plato in England kept
that number in idleness in this country.
There is no possible reason why there
should not be fourishiDg tin plate in
dustry in this country. What workman
is there who would not echo the unselfish
assertion: Il would rather pay one cent,
if necessary. more for dinner pail and
establish an industry worth millions Of
dollars annually TO this nation than con-
tinue TO support 100000 Englishmen in
making tin plate when that number of
Americans want employment"
