NORTHERN MICHIGAN FIRES,
e Precautions Taken to Prevent
the Destruction of Villages.

GREAT Precautions Taken to Prevent
b Destruction of Villages.
According to press dispatches the
Northern Michigan forest fires are nu.
merous and formidable. The forests are
mostly hardwood, and while the fires may
run rapidly when famed by a strong
wind, yet they can be controlled by judi.
cious and timely back firing. All the
small towns in the danger district and
many farms have been carefully cncir.
cled with back fires. The situation il
being carefully watched, however, and
there is not much to fear. At Wallin. the
town burned Thursday, these precautions
were not taken in time. The Sullivan
Lumber Company loses about $4,000 on
mill. lumber and buildings, with a total
of 5000 insurance. The charcoal kilns
will be repaired Immediately to use the
damaged timber before it goes to ruin,
but the mill will not be rebuilt until next
season. A large tent has already been
erected for p~ostofiice, store and hotel, and
as soon as buildings can be put up many
of the workmen will return with their
families, who are now stopping at Thomp.
sonville.
The villages of Clary, Copemish, Inter,
locken, Grawn. Bensonia and others have
been threatened, but by back firing the
danger has been averted. Comparatively
few farmers have been burned out. Con.
siderable damage has been done to stand.
ing timber and much hemlock bark has
been destroyed. No lives have been lost,
and even at Wallin the live stock was
saved, the cattle taking to the thick
woods, where the fire did not reach them.

Not a Dead Issue.

1t has come to be a common thing to
hear the tariff spoken of as a dead is
sue. Democrats generally recognize
the fact that their party has made such
u miserable failure Of Its efforts ut re-
form that they would gladly see the
subject relegated to the e until their
folly is forgotten. But it is still a live
subject and one that will have to be
given attention by Congressman 1t
will be present in the coming national
campaign, no matter who may be the
candidates of the respective parties.
In a recent number of the American
Economist there is given the opinions
Of 1O1 Senators and Representatives
In Congress, and of a large number of
the editors of prominent newspapers
in all parts of the country, all Of whom
believe in the necessity for tariff re.
vision along the line Of protection to
American industries.
There are letters from three Congress
men from Kentucky who declare them
selves to be protectionists, and they are
joined by three from Tennessee, four
from Missouri, one from Texas, two
from West Virginia and a Senator
from Delaware. OF the newspaper
opinions there are letters from the West
and South quite as pronounced in favor
Of the protection idea as any from New
England.
If anybody can read these letters and
still hold to the belief that the misera-
BILE failure made by the last Congress
to better the condition Of the country's
trade and industries will be allowed to
stand unchanged he will read to little
purpose. The lesson set by Grover
Cleveland and his party has been a
dear one. but it was a lesson that will
new be forgotten. The people have
had time to do a deal of thinking and
they have thought to good purpose. II
there is any one subject on which the
public mind has fingered more than on
another it is the destruction of the
purchasing power of the wage Garner
and the transfer of a great part Of the
manufacturing industry Of the country
to foreign shores. The only remedy
to be found is in a restoration of the
policy of protection. And 1t will be
done.

aver Cypress Hills. 1t was funnel-shap-
81. and hung very low to the ground. At
the upper end was a red spot that APP
neared more like an i~ncandescent light
than anything else. The cyclone swept
aver the cemetery, wrecking handsome
and costly monuments. 1t tore down
trees for about 200 feet and then turned
into Jamaica avenue at Crescent street,
and went up Jamaica avenue for about
half a mile. Trees were torn down and
telephone and trolley wires demolished.
Right in the middle of the wreckage six
ears were caught. They belonged to the
Brooklyn and Southern Railroad and
were struck when in front of the Stew
art home. The cars were filled with pas
sengers and there was great excitement.
Half a dozen persons were slightly in
jured. The cyclone wrecked thirty houses
at Woodhaven and a very large school
house there. There were twenty resi-
dents of Woodhaven hit by the various
objects which were carried through the
air. Chimneys sailed through the air as
though they were no heavier than feath-

fortunates whose homes were wrecked
sat about during the day wondering what
was in store for them. Hackensack and
the other towns have responded promptly
TO the call for aid made by the people of
Cherry Hill. Viewed in the light of day
the ruin appeared more complete. Ey-
erywhere in the path of the storm were
ruins. The tangled heap of timbers by
the railroad track told where the depot
went to pieces. That pile of wreckage
showed where a house had been thrown
down and that one where a barn had been
rased by the winds. The leafless trees
that withstood the strain of the whirl-
wind gave the appearance of midwinter.
On two sides. as viewed from the center
Of the town, there were banks of green,
but where the storm swept everything
was black and bare.
