1t Is stated that the oonsuls of the
Unite d States throughout Europe are
writing vigorous protests to the Score
tary of State against the new regulation
which has recently been adopted, requir-
ing them to obtain and send in with
thoir accounts, receipts from postmhsters
for the purcbase.cf postage stamps. 1t
appears that Assistant Secretary Rock
well, who has charge of the consular
force, suspects certain oonsuls of divert
ing TO other purposes the money that is
allowed them for postage, and for this
reason, every consul is subjected TO-,
what-some of them call, the humiliation
Of asking the postmaster of the town in
which he. lives to give. him a certificate of
honesty.

Ann Arbor was wise and conservative,
and reflected sentiment which is be-
coming quite general among PEOPLE,
who have observed the growing power of
certain monopelies. He thinks a way
must be devised to place corporations
under proper restraint, and to bring to
the tax.roll the vast aggregate of untaxed
personal property, but that it will never
be accomplished by the impulsive hodge,
podge methods of sixty-day legislatures.
He points out, that it is more difficult to
make wise laws than to interpret or exc
ard judicial forces Of the government
may act quickly and directly, the legisla-
tive forces hampered by environment and
the greater complications of the question
before them seem Inadequate. The evils
which have come from extensive indus
trial combinations and which are perhaps
inseparable from them, cannot be elimi-
mated in a day, and as he cogently re-
marks: Ignorance, hysteria and spite
are not the progenitors of good legisla-
tion." 1t seems to Gen. Harrison that
the great reform laws must be framed by
commissions com posed of the ablest men
i'll the states; that they must have time
to thoroughly study the subject; oppor-
tun1ty to be afforded to the
public to present suggestions and objec-
tions. There should be no attempt to
bring in the millennium on the morrow.
The ideal cannot be reached at step,
but at least. We should face and move
that way.
