PLANS AT ANN ARBOR.
students Polishing Up for the Fifty
Third Annual commencement.

Ann Arbor, June 19.-The order of
exercises for the fifty-third annual
commencement of the University of
Michigan has been decided upon and ac-
tive preparations have already begun.
Commencement this year comes on the
list of July, and, as usual, the bac-
-calaureate address will be given the
preceding Sunday. 1t is probable that
DIR. Angel will he here to deliver ii and
sign the diplomas. Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday will be given up to the
class days of the various departments
and the many social functions which
add SO much pleasure to commence
mcnt week, the senior promenade,
senior reception and senate reception.
On Thursday morning the regular COM
mencemcnt exercises will be held in
University hall, and DR.. Andrew S.
Draper. president of the University of
Illinois, will deliver the annual Grafton.
A general mass meeting of the alumni
of the university will be held Wednes-
day night for the purpose of providing
some scheme for the unification into
one large society of all the alumni So
cieties which now exist.
The graduating class will number
some 200 less than it did last year owing
mainly to the fact that the law course
has been heightened from two to three
years since last spring, and this pre-
vents about $50 claws" from gradual
ing this year.
A great deal of work has been done
about the campus this spring with a
view to having it in good shape during
commencement week. The new botan-
zeal garden and the many flower beds
recently set out add pretty dash of
color to the dark background of the
green trees and lawn.
Examinations will take up most of the
time from now until the Goth, although
the "medics" and "dents" will be
through few days earlier. Every
body, however, is looking forward to
leaving town, and the exodus will begin
soon.

Death at DumOnt, Col.


Idaho Springs, Col, June 20.-In a
cavern at the Way to Wealth mine at
Dumont Saturday Nathan Crane, the
owner, was instantly killed by the fall
ing rock. He was an aged person and
was well known in Colorado, having
devoted most of his time to mining the
past 90 years. He had a home in
Adrian, Mich, and leaves widow in

cine in Kalamazoo, Mich. He was also
a brother-in-law of the late Senator

Recognizing the Inevitable.

The democrats who practically aban-
don free-trade theories because they
wish to make the silver issue supreme
are, after all, only recognizing the in
evitable. If their party, upon coming
into full power in 1898, after lapse of
more than 30 years, had been able to
frame tariff on democratic principles
which would have yielded enough rev.
cnue for the support of the government,
it would not have lost the confidence OF
multitudes who had so long adhered to
its traditional theories. If il had been
able to frame any kind of tariff which
would have given the country prosper
ity, it would not have turned against il
millions of workingmen. If it had
not given convincing proof by its own
acts that it was no longer possible TO
raise enough revenue by tariff for rev.
enue only, il would not now find itself
kopelessly wrecked on that issue.-N.
Y. Tribune.

Boom I'm SHINGLES

Grand Rapids, June 81. - There is
great hustling just now among the
shingle manufacturers and dealers.
For several years California red cedar
shingles have been shipped into the
eastern and central territory in such
quantities and at such prices that they
controlled the market and practically
shut out the Michigan product. Now
the California manufacturers have
formed combine to regulate the out
put. The shortage in the red cedars
as a result has created a lively demand
for Michigan shingles.

COMMENT AND OPINION.

DPresident Mckinley is doing all
right in his office, and so is Speaker
Reed in his. If the senate will hurry
up the tariff, we shall all be happy
yet.--Iowa State Register.

UThe republican party is engaged in

OKansas expects n wheat crop OF
100000 900 bushels, and even the Kansas
farmers are beginning to believe that
they would rather be paid for it in Nc
Kinley sound money dollars than in
Bryan 5O-cent dollars. - Watertown
Times.
DFree trade is dead as political is
sue. Even the democrats have ceased
TO believe in the policy which Grover
Cleveland advocated so persistently and
on which he made three campaigns.
This is made apparent by the discus
sions now going on in the senate. While
the democrats are opposing the enact
meut of the republican tariff bill in n
sort of perfunctory way, they are not
putting into their opposition the energy
which is an evidence of ardent zeal.
The truth Of the matter is that three
years experience with tariff reform
has satisfied the democrats and every
body else that il is failure, both as a
means of providing revenue for the
support of the government and of en-
couraging home NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SOUTHERN PROTECTlONISTS.
Former Free Traders Are Getting
Into Line.

The states representatives in the
United States congress are all protec-
tionists -for the industries of their
own states. But the republican mem
bers are the only ones who are for pro-
lection as a national principle, and for
n protective tariff as a necessary means
for sufficient revenue. The Georgia
democrats favor a duty on lumber;
South Carolina is looking out for cot
ton; Louisiana sweetens toward pro-
lection when it touches sugar; Califor-
MIA is vigilant for fruits, and the popu-
lists of Nevada think no figures too
high for n tariff on boraX. The dem
ocrats in congress are doing their best
TO support Gen. Hancock's contention
that the tariff is local issue.
1t is not surprising that with such a
selfisbly ragged edge on tariff ques-
tons the opposition to a tariff bill
that was formed by the party of pro-
lection is broken down at every point.
The proponents of the bill have not
been defeated yet at n single issue.
Amendment after amendment has been
voted down by safe majority, and the
passage of the bill is assured, and
quickly, too, if the foodgates of oratory
can be kept closed.
The lumber schedule was sustained in
spite of the objection of senators whose
only knowledge of timber is obtained
from Chicago platforms. The bill is
travelling at a winning gait, and a
chorus of factory whistles will greet il
at the finish line.-Troy Times.

extremely important documents. Some
of these are from the libraries of

earlier, probably 200 b. c. To the stu

plicate.
