WIMAN SENTENCED.

Erastus Wiman this morning was
sentenced to five yesrs and six months
Imprisonment for forgery. The maxi
mum sentence for the offense was 10
years, and as there is no minimum he
could have received any sentence from
three days to 10 years. The present SEN
tence is perhaps unnecessarily severe.
but 1T may have the desired effect of pre-
venting other men just as highly trusted
from committing just as grave an error
The NEWS is sorry for Mr.. Wiman, and
sorry for his family, but it believes that
he brought his own punishment on him-
self. and that he will meet it like man.
OF the action of his late employer
in thus disgracing the man who made
millions for him and to whose brains
and ability he owes much of his present
it is hard to speak except
with ill-disguised contempt.

CAUSE OF THE PRESENT TROUBLE

| Henry Clews is pretty generally right
In drawing his conclusions in regard to
the effect of politics upon business, and
his recent deduction will commend
itself to the business community as
being peculiarly correct.
"The countrys prosperity" he says
"has been prostrated by experimental
politics. The men in control have un-
wisely endeavored, probably with good
intentions, however, to supersede practi.
cal measures by theoretical ones. Practi.
cal men believe in the efficacy of business
management derived from experience.
They well know that business skill has
contributed more than anything else to
develop this country and make it what
it is or rather what it was 12 months
ago.
at was then full of prosperity, and for
that reason commanded the admiration of
the world; but behold the change since
In one short year our country has fallen,
alas, so low in the depths of distress as
to call forth the derision of all our former
admiring foreign neighbors for having so
ridiculously and unnecessarily upset our
selves-and why is it thus? Simply
because men, though full of ability, but
of the theoretic order, are now in COM
mand at Washington. These legislators
are possessed of book learning to a
marvellous extent, and are overfiowing
with eloquence but they lack one es-
sential quality which is wisdom, COM
monty known as good judgment.
'The lacking quality in them is what
the handspring is to watch. The face
may be perfection; the works wonder
fully made and accurately put together,
but all are of no use for the purpose in
tended IL the handspring is missing,
SO statesman may be ever so brilliant. |
70 honest, SO hard working, so patriotic. |

egislate wisely; hence the country's
PRESENT sorry plight"

ators point TO Secretary Carlisle.
One explanation given out is that Secre-
tary Carlisle was the man who forced
the schedule on the Democratic com
mittee. Mr.. Carlisle is the only one of
those concerned in this matter who did
not try to give the impression in testify
ing before the committee that he was
opposed TO the daty On sugar. Mr..
Carlisle made no such pretense. And
Mr.. Carlisle wrote the schedule just as
1T appeared in the bill, with the
exception OF one little clause in
the interest of the Trust, which
makes the differential apply to all light
colored sugars. Mr.. Carlisle said in his
testimony that he did not know how
the clause got into the bill. The com
mittee has never asked solitary ques-
tion or taken any testimony with the
view of unraveling that mysterious
feature in the schedule. But as Secre-
tary Carlisle is the only one who does
rot disavow a support of the sugar
schedule, it is fair to assume that the
Administration, through Secretary Car
Isle. is responsible for this glaring in
iquity."
With this in mind, he must indeed be
Of sanguine temperament who believes
that the concessions made to the Trust
are to be materially modified, or that the
gift of $5O.OOO.0 900 made to it by the
postponement of the time of its taking
effect is to be pulled back by some
hidden string.

New ERA, Mich, April 1l.-On the
floor of Staples & Covelrs logging

charred and scalded bodies, the result
of the most frigh oful railroad accident
that ever happened in this section
The logging crew of Staples & Covell's
road were returning from White
river camp shortly before noon
Monday and when within sight of
camp the narrow-gauge engine struck
a falling tree and was knocked over a
16-foot embankment, carrying nine
men down with IT. The men were
thrown into the wreckage, which
pinned them down and they could not
avoid the escaping steam. Seven of
them are dead, one is seriously injured
and one slightly hurt The following
are dead:
Adolph Shelander. engineer. Whitehall. Gus
Anderson, fireman.; Frank Shippy, foreman,
Newapgo county; Martin Lynch Whitehall

Fred Chowker was fatally injured
Henry Starn was slightly scalded, but
saved himself by jumping from a win
dow of the engine. The men were all
shockingly burned and scalded. Ander-
sons scalp and forehead were complete
" roasted and his abdomen burned to
a crisp The bones of Shippy's hands
and arms were laid bare and his sides
likewise, but he succeeded in taking off
most of his clothing before he died.
The road starts miles east of here
and runs parallel with the Chicago &
West Michigan to White river, dis
lance OF miles. Staples & Covell were
cleaning up adjoining land and last
winter had logs skidded along the track.
This crew was engaged in hauling
these logs to the river and would have
finished the job next Wednesday,
