Michigan Citizens Determined t0 Break Up
 Negro Gang.
 Otsego, Mich, Aug. 19.-Sam Sheeler, a colored thief who broke into the house of Mrs. Smith here last night and robbed and attempted to assault her, was ar rested at Plainwell this morning. A crowd gathered around the jail with a rope and forced an entrance. They placed the rope around the negro's neck and dragged him from his cell. As the moose drew tight the fellow confessed and im- plicated in robberies several other ne- groes whom he said could be found in a swamp near here. A posse went out to search for them. The gang was located two miles from town and began firing on their pursuers in an attempt to escape. All neighborng towns have been notified and the gang will be killed if it does not surrender. There is still talk of lynching Sheeler

 Marion, H., Aug. 19.-The stock law passed by the last Illinois legislature led to murder last night it's enforcement being resisted by the small farmers and renters in the wooded portions of south- ern Illinois. E. w. Morefield, the pound master for Stone township, was waylaid and killed on the highway by Eph Thompson, negro farmer, whose only COW the poundmaster had taken from the range. In many localities in the tim bered districts the farmers threaten to kill any man who will come to enforce the obnoxious law.

The recent speech of Senator Merrill, of Vermont, on the financial policy of the administration has brought him letters of praise and commendation from all over the country. The strongest in approval, and the most gratifying naturally, have come from the very centers of democracy. It was from every point of view re- markable speech, and equals, if not ex- cells, any of his previous efforts on similar subjects. When one remembers that Sem ator Merrill has already passed his eighty fourth birthday, and last summer suffered long and tedious illness, this fact is worthy of note. His intellectual per formances at so advanced an age are equalled by only one other living man, Gladstone, and his career has been al- most as remarkable in it's way as that of the great English statesman.

The Brooklyn (N. Y. ) trolly system was tied up Monday by strike, the strikers taking the usual course of forcibly pre- venting those who wish to work from operating the lines.

WHEN the legislature takes up the very necessary work of repairing our ragged ballot law, it ought to consider the ex- pediency of letting the counters begin their work an hour or so before the polls close. As it is the counters do their work too hastily, and under the pressure of an anxious waiting crowd, impatient, and free in expression of impatience. That they do their work badly is proved in nearly every case where from any cause a recount is made. Any person who has watched a count of ballots has seen opportunity for a shrewd, interruptions counter to get in little funny business, and probably may have seen the aforesaid s. Il. c. do just that thing. Let the count ing be done with more deliberation and less haste.
 The managers of the state fair want to have the legislature pass law prohibit ing agricultural societies receiving state aid from holding fairs on the same week as that son which the state fair is held. This idea is preposterous and leads peo- pie to ask what the state fair is good for any way. It draws $600O year from the state, and is beaten in attendance and in merit by fairs drawing less than tenth of that sum. Last year it did not pay it's premiums hecanse bad weather cut down it's receipts, but took it's state bonus just the same. Other sooietfes pay premiums in good weather or bad, and don't beg of on account of the weather The state fair is far from being model. It is loud ly complained of as setting 3 bad example to local societies in the licenses given to fakirs and gamblers. The worst show ever seen on the Stafford Springs grounds last year got admission by teIegraphing from the state fair, the fact thati it had ex- shibited there without mo1estatfon being It's guarantee of responsibility. It got the grand bounce when it developed It's nasty character on the Stafford Springs grounds. With reference to it's modest request for a week free from competition, the local circuits cannot afford to have week talk en out of the very brief fair season, and should object. The state fair gets all the advantage it is entitled to in drawing from the state treasury as much cash as is al- lowed to any twenty of it's competitors.

The Washington correspondent of the Hartford Courant says: Senator Platt has laid before the postmaster general nasty state of affairs at Stony Creek. Richard How'd, who has recently been supersed- ed as postmaster there, charges that he paid money to certain parties to ob- tain the office for him, including $15O spent in Landlord Creme's hotel, and $50 given to Creme to go, as he was told, to Congressman Pigott to secure the appoint ment. Then, becoming dissatisfied with How'd, the gang complained of him to the department, and managed to get him drunk on the day post office inspector came to investigate. Having been super seded in the office by F. l.. Hubbard, How'd made public this political bunco game of which he was made the victim. MT. Pigott says he never heard anything about it until Friday, and Senator Platt exonerates him from all knowledge or complicity. The post office department will inquire into the whole transaction.
 
 Concerning the lnpopularity of the in- come tax Senator Hill, of New York, made clear case when he said:
 ''The senator from Missouri MT. Cock relD saw fit yesterday to speak of the re- suits of the recent elections, and he re- ferred to the fact that in the state of New York the income tax was disapproved in the democratic platform, and that the candidates on that platform were defeat | ed I DOipt him tO the fact that the same disapproval of the income tax was in the republican platform of New York. So far as that state is concerned, there was and there is but little difference of opin- ion on that subject But so interested was the senator in the affairs of my state in respect to this income tax that he for got to mention the fact that in his own state of Missouri the democratic conven- tion adopted platform favoring the in- come tax; and he did not speak of the re- suit of the election there."
