The fact that after the first day OF
April this country will enjoy the fruits
of reciprocity with Brazil, under the
terms provided in the Mckinley tariff
law, is one that worries our Democratic
friends not little. 1t knocks out all
of their fine-spun theories about the rec
iprocity clause of that law being merely
attached for effect. 1t was attached fol
business, as they now plainly see.

need of Paints and Oils go to the Wolverine Phar
macy because they have the Heath & Millgan
the best in town. When in need of Groceries,
Spices, Tobacco and Cigars go to the Wolverine
Pharmacy because they have fresh stock, and
the best they buy. When in need of Wall
Paper go to the Wolverine Pharmacy because they
are we'll stocked with Spring patterns just
from the factory, and have got to reduce their
stock regardless of price We have patterns
to select from than any store in Western Michigan

itician Mr. Watson has been an earnest
and outspokeu advocate Of the principles
of the Republican party, and IS we'll

political speaker. In lis own county he
has been particularly prominent in the
defence OF the political rights of colored
citizens, and in preventing them being

tors.

quietly In Milford, there being no amuse-
inent afforded the citizens, who did not
leave town TO spend the day-eScept the
two games Of base ball-an account of
which will be found in another column.
| The stores were not closed except a short
| time in the afternoon and little earlier
in the evening than is customary on Sat
urdav night. There was no lack of
amusement, for those who iisired such, at
both Slaughter and Bowers beaches and
for the more quietly inclined, who
wanted to spend the day away from

At tie request Of State Treasurer Burnite
on Thursday Of Ia ST week the Attorney Gen
eral submitted an opinion as to the legality
Of the Free Textbook bill He claims tina
the rules adopted by the Legislature for en-
rolling examining, reporting aud signing

and their absence delracts nothing from the
force Of the enactment Also. that there j!
no statute requiring that these rules be ad
hcred 10, or that the signatures Of the pre-
siding officers of the two houses shall be
annexed 70 bill preparatory TO its becoming
a law It is his opinion that the bill be-
came law when it received the sanction OF
the Senate and House Of representatives.
In accordance with this opinion State
Treasurer Burnite will proceed under the
law and carry ont the financial part Of its
provisions. It provides for text books in the
schools at the expense of the State; apprc-
pirates s9,oo0-S3,oc o for each county-to
