The schOOi or Mines Appropriation.

The SChOOi OF Mi2es APPROPRIATION.
The News does not believe that two
wrongs will ever make one right, and,
consequently, hopes that Atkinson and
che other Pingreeites will not, 10 order to
get even with the Upper Peninsula mem.
5ers, some OF them can scarcely be called
representatives, vote against the neces-
-sary appropriation for the School oil
M mes, as is limited at in the following
clipping taken from the Detroit Free
Press staff core pondent at Lansing and
which will no doubt be read with interest;
Many of the institutions have been
awarded extra appropriations for i'm
prOvements, and the mining school APP
preparation, over which there has been
so much figb ting during the past week,
az at the same figure given it two years
ago, $4,000. Upper Peninsula mem
bers, however, declare that they cannot
see how the school is to be kept up to its
present state Of efficiency with the
amount. They insist that ST. 900 more
il absolutely needed, but the farmers of
the house have determined not TO give in.
The Upper Peninsula members know
where to lay the blame for the big cut
given their pet institution, and there was
q lively row between the representatives
OF the two legislative elements IN the
house cloak room the other day.
Pop Goodell, Of Wayne county, one
81 Ci1e leading spirits Of the farmers club,
Tes seated in the cloak room smoking his
BiEe, after the house had cut the approp-
ration by 100000, and Representative
Smith, OF HOughton county, where the
school is located. came out and tackled
GoodeI. Smith il usually the best-nat-
ured OF men, but he was very hot over his
defeat, and went at Goodell and the
Farmers rough-shod. You fellows get
together up there in the garrett he de.
clared, and put up a conspiracy TO run
Legislation. A lot of you are not tit to
represent intelligent people.
@Goodell put up his pipe, and then pro
ceeded TO go at Smith on the score of his
votes in favor OF appropriations in the
liveliest kind of style. The row die
Smith no good, as the next day, wher
the mining school appropriation came VI
again, Goodell made it his business Il
bring out lot OF figures, and his speech
did much to kill some sentiment whici
had been created for the appropriation
between the two days. Now the Uppe
Peninsula people do not know Just wha
10 do. They want more money, but ar
afraid that il a fight is started between
the senate and the house on the subjec

"But there il another element asid
from the farmers that had powerful e
isect in determining the cut on the minin
school appropriation. This was the in
tense Pingree vote. Men like Atkinso
have watched Upper Peninsula represent
atives, like Smith. Chamberlain and Rul
sou, vote against reducing railroad fare
in the Upper Peninsula, and they evene
things up by worrying these men on til
mining school appropriation,
cit ia such things that have left sol
spots all around and with rows betwee
the Wayne representatives. the comm
