litieal campaigns led to his being chosen chairman of the State central committee. He did not take any further active part in politics for a few years, however, owing to the pressing duties of his profession. But in 1881 he pulled off his coat, so to speak, and fought as skillfully as he did earnestly for the election of Cleveland. The returns showed for the first time clear Democratic ma iority from the lower peninsula, but the Lake Superior region gave the State to the Republican candidate. From 1887 to lSS9ne was postmaster general of Mir Cleveland 's cabinet. Mr. Dickinson has always been a strong anti-corporation man, and when occasion arises he delights in twisting the tail of the British lion, He has done a good deal of "thank you'' law business, and those who know him say that he has keen sym pdIHN lOI iHc NiSlEtSSctl. Ait iS q man of strong social and literary tastes, makes friends easily and is q hard worker. He may be called a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school.
 He believes in the strict construction of constitution and is opposed to all forms of protection, among which he classes the various forms of pro tective tariffs. But he does not ad- vocate undue haste in reform in this direction. He is said to have d large fortune. He lives in n fine house and counts many Republicans as his warm personal friends. Mir. Diekinsnn's s law office in Detroit is located in one of the oldest buildings in that city. President Cleveland's private secretary used to be one oi his partners Naturally ne is rather proud of his ancestry, for he can trace it back to 1880, and his father was a patriot colonel, who received a bullet in his shoulder on one oc casion for his bravery.

IGNORED THEIR DEAD BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES AT IMPE-
 RIAL HALL.
Pine Bluff Knights of Pythias Turn Out in Full Force to Observe
 Memorial Day.

The spacious hail of Imperial Lodge No. 94, Knights of Pythias. was the scene Sunday of sad but impressive ceremony. Pine Bluff Pythians, composing Juliet and I'm pe,ial Lodges, had met to observe the sacred rites not only sanctioned but commanded by the order
 Promptly at 9:30 a. m. the Knights, under command of Master at-Arms I. j. Moore, of Juliet, marched into the hall while Mrs. Addie T. Owen, ever a mistress of music, rendered one of Beethoven s well known compositions.
 After the Knights were seated within the triangle the officers, in full regala, entered, the Chancellor Commanders conducting Rev. c. E. Cabaniss and Rev. ". K. Penrod to the rostrum.
 The joint session was opened by Chancellor Commander Harry I. Holderness of Imperial, after which Prelate Savage of Imperial rendered the Invocation.
 II Would Not Live Always , a song which always reaches the hearts of true men and women every  where, was next sung by the quar- tette composed of Misses Bessie Altheimer and Nodie Andrews and Messrs. $. A. Kineaidt and W. c. Evans.
 Mr Gabaniss next delivered short address on the 'Friendship, Charity and Beneyolence2 of the order. At the conclusion of Mr Cabanlss' talk, Miss B assie Alth ei- mer, always l favorite with our pao pie, sang Calvary
 Around the altar gathered the officers and into the urn dropped the emblematiee sprig of Myrtle
 The Knights marched to the cen tre and performed the sad rites. From the organ came sounds so sweet, SD pure, that they seemed to speak the very name of Mendel- ssohn.
 After this ceremony Miss Nodie Andrews, whose reputation as singer is not confined to the limits of home sang "Thy Will be Done.
 After a closing address by Cham celler Commander R. w. Lane, of Juliet the session was closed in due form.
 Altar and gavels were appropriate ly draped and decorated. Within the triangle were the vacant chairs, the helmets, swords and jewels of the dead brothers of the past year.
 Quite a crowd of visitors both ladies and gentlemen were present.
 Everything was so conducted as to make the memorial services of 1896 in every way worthy of the highest praise.

 He was finally nominated for al- derman, however, and despite the fact that his district was Republican he was elected by a majority that was greater than the number of votes his opponent secured. As further proof of the great confidence the city had in his discretion and quick judgment, he was nominated for mayor, but for private reasons | declined.

There are not few in Pine Bluff who will be truly glad to get "1he Under Side of Things. an altogether charming work by Miss Lillian Bell. The readers of the quaint ''Love Affairs of An Old Maid" will vel come it with especial favor The title may be q little mystifying but it is apt when one knows the story, which tells of a girls life hampered by foolish eonventiOnalities The authors task is not confined to the making of bright dialogue and the quick insight into human nature, for in thls last book her extraordinary descriptive powers are easily seen, notably in depicting Mrs. Copeland, the dominant, irritating spirit of the tale. Miss Bell is woman of strong. though pleasing face and has a way of talking herself right into the hearts of her readers. Yes, that is the word, talking" for one can scarcely realize that it is writ ing that the clever author has done, and Il reader invariably feels like q personal acquaintance exists be- tween them.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox has writ ten a novel called An Am bitions Man. which will be read through n sense of curioiity. Almost anyone would like to know what kind of life story an author would make who could write the Poems of Passion" Mrs. Wilcox is a real ist. She is like Thomas Hardy in her boldness, but is as far from him as the east is from the west in her perception of the jlelioaoies of ii,i- man nature. "'Tess of the D'Urber- villes" is bold but it is notrevolting. It is absolutely delicate. "An Am Ambitious Man" is anything but pleasing to contemplate. The virtu- ous characters die miserable, while the heavy villains live in luxury and happiness. Mrs. Wilcox had better stick to her poems, and a little cur tailment in them wouldn't hurt any thing.

SUGAR BOUNTY CASES.

The celebrated sugar bounty cases
have been decided by the United States
supreme court. The opinion of the
court. which was by Associate Justice
Peckham, holds that the law was valid
ana that Comptroller Bowler was
wrong in Withholding the bounty
money. This means that several mil
lions of public money will go into pri-
waite purses. More than that, 1t means
that there will be big demand on the
next congress for more bounties. as
this victory will encourage bounty seek
ers to ask for them.
To COMPTROLLER Bowler the decision
will bring much chagrin. His action
was certainly very unusual. At, best
his position is but subordinate, and
when he took it upon himself to say
the law granting the bounty was I'M
constitutional and he would not carry
out its plain directions, he assumed a
very great responsibility. While it is
true that all officers of the govern
ment, state or national, are responsible
for their official acts under laws they
enforce or execute, and If the law is
unconstitutional they must abide the
consequences, still the presumption is
that all laws passed by state legisla-
ture or congress are valid until de-
ciared Otherwise by the duly consti-
tuted courts of the country. 1t is the
only safe thecrv on which to proceed.
An officer executes law at his peril,
but the chances of his erring in execut-
ing it are infinitely less than in dis
coeying its provisions. Comptroller
Bowler erred in not paying the boun-
ties. It is very much to be regretted
that he did err.
There is a satisfaction in the fact
that the opinion sustaining the law
was unanimous. 1t shuts out all chance
to charge political bias in the decision
