MIcHIGAR'S GOOO EXAMPLE.

Michigan's legislature has reduced
taxes in that state for 1897-98 one mil
lion dollars. That is reform in earn
est, and it is a character of reform that
is very rare these degenerate days.
| In this day and generation the con-
slant tendency is to increase the cost
of government Whether it be state,
county or municipal the idea seems to
be to get as many jobs and offices as
possible, and increase expenses rather
than lower them.
The need of the times is reform in
the expense of government, national as
we'll as local. 1t costs the nation, the
county, the state and the city too much
for government. Dear money, contract
ed currency, low prices, low wages all
add their benumbing effect to the pros
perity of the citizen, but in spite of all
these taxes 80 on at the same or ad-
vanCed rate, and the cost of govern
ment becomes no cheaper but
dearer.
Michigan sets a good example in
knocking a million dollars from her
demands upon her people.
CHAIRMAN MARION BUTLER has,let his
disapprOyal of Tom Watson's national
populist conference, to be held in Nash
vile, be known. Although the OBJ
ject of the convention is to decapitate
Butler the tar heel senator and his
friends are disinclined to get into con-
trOversy with the gingery Georgian,
due no doubt to the knowledge that
Tom "slings" nasty quill. 1t is wise
to keep away from buzzsaw when you
see it in operation.

THE announced intention of the
Massachusetts factory owners to close
down during two months of the sum-
mer is hardly in line with the promise
of Mr.. Mckinley to open the mills
instead of the mints, says the Knox
vile Sentinel. ItwOuld seem that the
republican policy, if anything, is hav-
ing tendency to close the mills.

SENATOR BACON showed fine leader
ship and ability in amending the tariff
bill and placing duty of 20 per cent.
advalorem on raw cotton. But if tar
if for protection is wrong in princi-
pie ands hurtful to the masses there
can be no justification for the impo-
sition of such duties, even from the
standpoint of local interests.

Among the best story tellers in the
sporting business are horsemen. They
never seem to tire of bringing up rem
iniscences Of famous performers on the
turf and their equally famous drivers.
OF course as a good story is generally
three-fourths fiction and horsemen, es-
pecially the old-timers, are not afraid
of stretching the truth on occasions,
there are some famous tales of the turf
to be printed each week and they are
weirdly wonderful in their way.

Glad He is Appointed.

WASHINGTON, April 13.--The sem
atorial friends of ex-Vice President
Stevenson are rejoiced over his appoint
ment as a. member of the monetary
commission appointed by the presi-
dent last night with Senator Wolcott,
of Colorado, and G. J. Payne. uf Boston.
The democrats of the strict party
school say he is sound party man
and that they can trust him.
The republican senators generally
talk as if they were pleased too. 1t is a
we'll known fact that Senator Wolcott
personally requested his appointment.
Another reason Stevenson's friends are
pleased is that he has never made an
European trip as he could not afford
that luxury. Now he gets a fine trip
at Uncle Sans expense.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD.
Great Damage is Feared at
New Orleans.
THE MEMPHIS ENGINEERS
Think There is But One Way to Save New
Orleans and That is bv Cutting the
Levees About Forty or Fifty Miles Above
the City.

MEMPHIS. April 13.-The flood ST.
tuation cannot be worse, but is no bet
ter today. Waters from the Ohio,
Missouri and upper tributaries may
pour into the Mississippi. The govern
ment has stupendous task in repair
ing the levees. The cost will be enorm-
GUS. Fine weather today and people
are hopeful that the tide has turned.
The peril to New Orleans from the
Mississippi is being widely discussed in
Memphis engineering circles. 1t is be-
lieved that when it becomes apparent
the waters will rush into the streets of
New Orleans and cannot be averted by
holding levees, levees at point forty
or fifty miles above the city will be cut.
By doing this an immense volume will
be diverted from this channel into lake
Ponchartraiu q and the river in front OF
the city of New Orleans would fall at
once. 1t is believed here this is the
only salvation for the city.
