scription reads so like Michigan's ex-
perience. Michigan and Missouri seem
to have been keeping step u very much
the same kind OF music.
Telegram-herald., 1891-06-14

Says the Democrat: "The TELEGRAM
HERALD. whose editor has been Senate
clerk of the longest Legislative sessions
on record in Michigan, deplores the
length of the present session Of the
lawmakers" So it does. 1t deplores
the sight of men, whom it respects per-
sonally, so utterly stultifying them
selves politically. 1t is sad sight.
While yet the editor of the Democrat
was q denizen of Wisconsin, the great
Democratic reform Legislature-elect
proclaimed It's intention TO work q mir
acle. 1t has been working ut that mir
acle for SIX months, and like Kee!y's
motor it will not "mote." Long before
the editor of the Democrat learned the
alphabet OF modern Michigan matters.
the TELEGRAMHERALp showed up the
impossibility of really short session,
and 1t will be only too happy to recall
its prophecy, after the present aggrega-
CATION gets sufficiently ashamed Of IT.
self to hide from sight. Having been
Senate clerk of the longest legislative
sessions in Michigan" the editor of the
TELEoRAM-HERALp could see where the
mistakes were made and the time was
wasted in those sessions. He really
though t the present Legislature might
make some improvement, but it has
now run longer than the TELEGRAM
HERALD said it would, and has
made a failure as lamentable as
its pretentions were great. 1t has
shown itself utterly incapable of CON-
pretending the errors Of the last ses-
sion sufficiently to correct them.
The shortening of legislative sessions
is something to be desired for the
State, regardless of political parties,
but the problem will never be solved
by noisy Democratic mouthings before
session, the work Of Democratic legis-
lative accidents during the session or
Democratic editorial platitudes after
the session. IL Is no easy problem and
one has been "Senate CLERK of the
longest legislative sessions on record in
Michigan" while the editor of the
Democrat was negotiating in Wisconsin,
knows too much about the difficulties
of the problem to make light of the
Democratic failure to solve it, had not
the leaders Of the Michigan Democracy
made such consummste ninnyham-
mcrs of themselves by proclaimug
