What the People are Saying.

The indictment of our county
commissioners causes general
comment. The court house job be-
gins to smell, and the people to
hold their noses whenever their
attention is called to this man.
moth public folly.
Has the standard of official in
tegrity been so lowered that grand
juries must be invoked in order to
bring public attention to official
rOttennesS. Is it a fact that no
public undertaking is free of Off
cial crookedness, and that it is no
crime to fleece the people?
That there has been a great deal
of jObbery connected with this en-
terprise ever since its inception
there can be no questioning. That
our county authorities have proven
their inability to handle such a
work for the public benefit is APP
parent. How much criminality
there may have been will remain
locked up in the hearts of those
who are guilty.
The people have realized the
folly of this undertaking and that
it will never be completed unless
there is change of administration;
it will remain source of private
and public corruption and regret to
the end.
a grand jury has arraigned the
county commissioners and the ar
chitect, but the impression pre-
walls that it will all blow over; that
no jury can be obtained that will
convict; that there is no law that
will apply to the misrepresentation
of public funds, or the violation of
public trusts; that officials are not
amenablC to the courts for their
reckless handling Of the peoples
cash.
The grand jury has, perhaps, not
taken the most certain method to
bring about a thorough ventilation
of the courthouse job. If this indict-
ment is well founded in fact, then
they should have instituted pro-
ceedings for the removal from
office of the offenders. They should
not be allowed to handle the
peoples business any longer.
There has been one farce OF a
trial of the county commissioners,
already; why repeat the farce,
making it appear that there is no
way to reach the official offender,
that political influence is
stronger than plain justice.
That a public trust is a private
snap; that the public integrity is
below par.
On the other hand, there are
many who regard the affair as
deep laid political scheme to ele-
Vate the present county judge to a
controlling position over county
affairs.
The people have been without
their consent, put in a very ugly
predicamcnt by this court hOuSc
job. In the first place it was to
cost less than 100000, 50 the ar

MATTERS OF MOMENT.
MICHIGAN NEWS OF MORE OR

Senator stockbridge Chosen to Succeed
Himself as Michigan's Representa-
tive I'm the United States senate.

The hardest battle, for the position
of United States senator from
Michigan, which has been fought since
the overthrow of Zach Chandler has
taken place at Lansing. Senator
Francis Il. Stockbridge and ex-Gov.
Cyrus G.. Luce were the leading candi-
dates and they and their friends had
been hustling ever since the Repub-
iican victory in Michigan at the last
election.
Matters were at fever heat when the
caucus of legislators gathered to make
their selection. State Senator Clapp,
of Battle Creek, placed the name OF
Hon. Francis Il. Stockbridge before
the caucus and Mr.. Ewing, of Hills
dale, did like honor for Hon. Cyrus G..
Luce, while Mr.. Chamberlain, of
Gogebic, suggested Jay A. Hubbell.
Several others were mentioned and
seconded and rising vote was taken
which resulted as follows:
Francis b. Stocl1bridge, As; Cyrus G..
Luce, 20; Jay A. Hubbell, 10; William
Hartsuff, g; j. G. Ramsdell, 2; o. l..
Spaulding, q; James O'Donnell, 1; B.
M. Cutcheon, 1; j. @. Fitzgerald, 1.
The vote was then made unanimous.

GOV. Rlchs, Reception.

Gov. Rich, in accordance with the
usual custom, gave an informal resep-
ton in the executive parlors at Lansing.
First the judges of the supreme court
were admitted, followed by the officers,
senators, representatives, members of
state boards and finally by all citizens
of Michigan generally who possessed
the fortitude and the strength to with
stand the jam which filed the halls
and corridors. Gov. Rich stood next
the entrance. Close at his side was
Mrs. Rich, then Ex-Governor and Mrs.
Luce, and beside them Senator Stock
bridge. Gov. Winans, not being in good
health, was unable TO remain but few
minutes. The executive parlors were
beautifully decorated with flowers and
dollhouse plants. Prof. Louis Boos'
band from jackson discoursed excellent
music from the floor of the rotunda
during the reception, and the presence
of the military of jackson and Lansing
added stateliness and brilliancy to the
occasion.

A BRIEF CHRONICLE OF SOME
OF THE WORLDS DOiNGS.
The Panama Canal Scandal Growing In
Paris--M. Charles DeLesseps confesses
Marquis De Mores Mobbed.

Paris special: There is we'll
grounded telling throughout the city
that the worst of the Panama bribery
matters is yet TO come. Nj. Delayhaye,
who made the first exposures in the
chamber of deputies says that all has
not yet been told and that more start
ling revelations may soon be expected.
This is borne out by the fact an un-
derstanding has been arrived at
between the government and Nj.
Charles de Lesseps, the latter having
confessed his connection with the mat
ter and also furnishes all the evidence
in his power against all other guilty
persons. In return M. Charles de
Lesseps is To be treated with great
leniency if not given absolute inn
munity. M. de Lesseps' motives are
stated to be not only to secure i'm
munity as much as possible from the
penalty of the law, but also to con-
vince the public that the Panama COM
pany was forced, by irresistible press
ure on the part of officials and the
press, TO choose between wholesale
corruption and the threatened ruin of
the enterprise. 1t is said that the
acknowledgements made by NJ. de
Lesseps are of the most startling char
acter and will create a sensation in
America as well as in France.
The socialist and anarchistic
elements of the city are receiving large
accretions to their ranks and are hold
ing numerous meetings. Placards are
posted calling the people to arms
against the oppression, TO destroy their
oppressors and seize the reins of gov
eminent. Marquis de Mores attempted
to speak before big mass meeting,
but his views did not accord with
those of the mob and he narrowly
escaped personal violence. His sup
porters and opponents had a bloody
engagement in the hall and it only
ceased when the floor had been cleared
by 200 police.

Deserts tho Pope.

There is decided commotion in Ro-
man Catholic church circles at Wash
ington, over the detection of Win
Marie Smell, private secretary TO Bishop
Keane, the rector of the Roman Cath
Ollie university. DIR. Smell is a young
man of remarkable scholarship, author
of various books on religious subjects
and a frequent contributor TO the
church reviews. His works have
always breathed the deepest loyalty to
the Roman Catholic faith. BY his own
choice, after deep deliberation, Dr.
Smell has cut loose from the creed
which he espoused when beginning his
scholarly career and declared his alleg-
ance dead and has become a believer in
the Presbyterian faith. DIR. Smell said:
"My decision was made at the point
where my study of religions made it
possible for me to no longer remain an
honest scommunicant of the Roman
Catholic church"
