The Tribune is Correct.

The Detroit Tribune easily the leading
organ of the Republican party in this
state, in n very vigorous and candid
editorial calls upon the members of our
State Legislature to redeem the pledges
of the party made at Saginaw and set
forth in the platform there adopted,
and points out with clearness what
must befall our cause unless those
pledges are fulfilled.
The suggestions of the Tribune are
timely and eminently practical, and in
drawing attention to the fact that legis-
lative measures of the character called
for by the Saginaw platform have en-
anated thus far from Democrat instead
of Republican sources, and that the
objections which have been raised to
them have come from Republican
members, administered in perfectly
admissible manner rebuke that was
certainly deserved.
1t would seem that with the lessons
of the past and in view of the fate which
befell the Democrat party at the late
election, largely because of the record
made by the last legislature, no Repub-
lican statesman at Lansing would need
to be urged to speed the accomplish
ment of that legislation which the party
has declared shall be forthcoming
You can not sit around. gentlemen,
and wait FOR some one TO set the ball
rolling. You need not be afraid of the
sound of your own voices, and it is not
creditable to you that the first bill pro-
hibiting the use of free passes should
come from Democrat.
1t may have been and probably was
offered for buncome and political effect
and without sincerity of purpose, but
that does not excuse your inactivity.

Adiutant General Eaton.

Van Buren, county has been honored
in the appointment of Honorable e. l..
Eaton as adjutant general of this state
by Gov. Rich. There need be no fears
but that our fellow citizen will preform
with ability and integrity the duties
and responsibilities which this impor-
tant and highly honorable position
involve.
Gen. Eaton has always been an active
and aggressive Republican as well as a
Jealous supporter of his partys candi-
dates. He has been useful and dis
tinguished representative in the State
Legislatures has filled acceptably the
important trust reposed in him by the
G.. A. II. as department commander,
and will make fine record as adiutant
general.
The NORTHERNER extends its compli
ments to Gen. Eaton with best wishes
for a successful term of office.

Sunday and the Great Fair.

In the current number of the Christ
ian EndedUor ReUieaO the Rev. Edward
Beecher declares that he is opposed to
closing the Worlds Fair on Sundays on
the ground that ''this would expose
multitudes to saloon and gambling
resorts without competition or resist
ance." This position is sound and
sensible. Bishop futile of Missouri has
just written letter to a similar effect.
These eminent divines, together with a
multitude of others from all denomi-
nations, concur with Bishop Potter of
New York in the opinion that the best
interests of morality and religion will
be subserved by opening the gates of
the great exposition on the Sabbath. 1t
is an error to SUPPOSE that the dstin-
guished gentlemen who have besieged
Congress this week i'm behalf of the
closing movement reflect the views of
the entire Christian church, much less
the wishes of the masses, to whom the
fair, if properly conducted, will be of
the highest educational value.-Ncw

Judge Clement Smith.

One of the first official acts of Gov
ernor Rich was the appointment Of
Judge Clement Smith of Hastings as
Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit,
comprising the counties of Calhoun,
Eaton and Barry, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the election of Judge
Hooker to the bench of the Supreme
Court.
This appointment was most adj
mirable one. The people of the Fifth
Circuit have been fortunate in having
for so many years in Judge Hooker one
of the very best Circuit Judges in the
state. We can vouch for it that Judge
Smith, who made most enviable
record as Probate Judge of Barry
county, will maintain the high standard
of excellence in the discharge of his
official duties which the people, as well
as the bar of his circuit, have been
accustomed and that he will prove
himself fearless, impartial and honest
Judge and worthy successor to so good
a man as his predecessor.
OF course he will be candidate for
reelection at the coming spring cleo
ton. and there should, and probably
will, be no doubt about his nomination
and election. No mistake can be made
in the selection of such man as Gle
ment Smith for judicial honors.

Special Correspondence from Lansing.

"They have folded their tent like
Arabs and silently stolen away" This
quotation while particularly applicable
to the ardent supporters of ex-Gov.
Luce, may also refer to the host of
candidates who within the past week
have learned the bitterness of defeat
In strong contrast are those whose am
billions being realized are entering upon
their new duties with an ardor strength
ened by long waiting. 5. X. Billings,
the newly appointed Railroad Com
missioner, is man of good ability and
irreproachable character, while the APP
pointment of Editor Knight as Com.
missioner of Mineral Statistics seems
to be favorably received, although
many friends would have been pleased
had the place been given to Charles y.
Lawton of Van Buren,, who made II
most efficient officer under Gov Luce.
The recognition given to Van Buren,
county by the selection of Charles l..
Eaton of Paw Paw as adjutant general
is very gratifying To those who felt that
the "banner" Republican county of
Michigan was entitled to liberal re-
ward for its loyalty to the party
The committees of the house have
been announced by Speaker Tateum
and are the occasion of much unfavOra-
BILE criticism, especially from the Wayne
county delegation and from those who
were the rivals of Mr.. Tateum for the
honor of the speakership. Mr.. Widely
of Van Buren, was well taken care of,
being chairman of the committee op
Local Taxation and member of Fish
cries and Ways and Means. But little
legislation of Importance has been
transacted during the past week and it
will be several days before the Solons
get thoroughly down to business. 1t is
reported that the important question of
constructing canal across the state
will be brought before the legislature at
its present session. M. b. T..

uncoupling cars, and 500 were killed
and 3, l9i injured by falling from trains
and engines. These two classes of cas-
ualties claimed the largest number OF
victims, which fact lends force to the
recommendation of the commission that
railroad companies be compelled by law
to adopt train brakes and automatic
couplers and to provide some safeguard
against falling from moving trains

present methods is absolutely without

The Speakers Committees.

1t is claimed in some quarters that
Speaker Tateum in forming the COM
mittees of the House of Representatives
ignored the usual courteous practice of
assigning the defeated candidates for
the speakership to chairmanships and
prominent places upon the most inn
portant of the committees.
1t is fair to presume as rule that
those who make any Roadway in the
race for the speakership are representa-
tives of the most able and competent
men in the body who deserve recogni-
ton and fair treatment
Anything like an effort to turn such
men down for the purpose of satisfying
any Impotence the Speaker may have
had because of their candidacy, is
beneath the dignity of one who holds
so high function, and would not only
meet the disapproval of all fair minded
men but react disastrously upon the
individual who was responsible for
such conduct.
1t is altogether probable, however,
that mountain has been made out OF
mole hill, and that the wish has been
father TO the thought, and that Speaker
Tateum intended no such discrimina.
ton and slight, and that the places
given to his opponents are due to chance
rather than discourtesy or anything like
unworthy motive.
At any rate, for the Speakers sake,
the NoRTHERNER, i'm the absence OF
definite proof to the contrary, is in
clined in wishing for Mr.. Trteum a
highly honorable and credtable career
to give to that gentleman the benefit OF
the doubt and presume that he was
actuated by fair and honorable motives

companies themselves would forestall
the necessity for such legislation so far
as the present session is concerned, but
that does not relieve you of the respon-
sibilites of placing upon the statute
book laws which shall prohibit for all
time the gift of free passes and free
transportation to state officials and
members of the legislature.
Representative Bark worth, the keen
est and ablest man of the Democratic
majority in the House, offered reso-
luton declaring against the expensive,
and in the main, unless junketing trips
that former legislatures have INDUCED
in, whereupon the Republican majority
fell into the trap set and bated for
them by the willy Jacksonian, and like
school boys declared that they would
not play, and Immediately put them
selves on record as against the measure
and on the wrong side of it,
The proposition ought to have eman-
ated from the Republican side of the
House and have been voted for by
every Republican, in which case tn e
Democrts would in all probability be
now occupying the unenviable position
in which they have placed their oppo-
nents.
Republicans can not offord "tO put
themselves in ridiculous attitude of
antagonizing the legislative reforms to
which their party is pledged" nor safely
and self-respectingly oppose measures
of reform simply because they are adj
vanced by Democrats.
If any good thing is offered from a
Democratic source take the Democrat
at his word and force him to swallow
the bait set to catch unwilling gud-
geOnS.
