Careless LEGISLATION.

The first clause of section 20 of the
tax law enacted by the last Michigan
legislature, providing for the sale of
lands for delinquent taxes, is a fine
specimen of careless legislation 1t
reads as follows:
"On the first Tuesday of May, begin
ming at ten o'clock a. m, the county
treasurer shall commence a sale of the
lands mentioned in the decree upon
which the amounts charged shall not
have been paid, and shall not continue
the same from day To day, Sundays and
other legal holidays excepted, until SO
much of each parcel shall be sold as
shall be sufficient To pay said amounts"
The intention was, without doubt,
TO authorize the county treasurer To
continue the tax sales from day To day,
but the little word mot" which we
have italicized in the foregoing extract,
expressly negatives the treasurer's
right To any continuance and compels
lands to he sold on the opening day OF
sale. Under the statute, all lands not
sold before midnight on the first Tues.
day of May cannot be sold at all.

IT is, therefore, ordered by the Clerk of the

Of said County, the object and general nature
of which IS to enforce the lien of the State of
Missouri on the following real estate, situate
in Iron County, Missouri, belonging to the
said defendants, for back taxes for the years
1898, 1894 and 1895, to wit:
The southeast corner of the northw est
quarter of the southwest quarter of section
three, township thirty-three, range four
east, situate in Iron county, State of Mis-
souri,, containing six acres, more or less.
An itemized statement in the nature of a
tax bill showing the amount of taxes,
interest and County Clerks fees now
due on said real estate for the years aforesaid,
amounting IN the aggregate to the sum Of
500, is fled with said petition, as pro-
vided by law And unless they be and ap-
pear at the next term of said Court, to be

swer or denur to said plaintiff petition, the

pays the freight and how the freight
payer is to be reimbursed. He viii
discover that the present attempt tt
get money is prompted by entirely sci
fish motives, and. back of it all, there
is TO be a division somewhere.
II he has thrifty instincts he viii
hold out his hand or his hat for his
share, rejoicing that it is much safer
to deal with lobby that is working
in the cause of education than to take
his chances with Col. Bill Phelps. II
ne be one of those impractical individu-
ais with a fine old last century preju-
dice against bribery and corruption,
he will use every effort to get to the
bottom of the accounts of our State In
situations of learning. The fact that
the lobby is so anxious for money
should make him suspicious. Let the
investigation be searching, let each
person who has furnished supplies give
the items to a nickle and then testify
as to whether any one has received a
bonus from him for procuring the trade.
The position of the Post Dispatch on
this question is something of a disap-
pointment to Democrats of Southeast
Missouri. It has hitherto had keen
scent for jobbery of all kinds. Has it
become disheartened and gone over to
the enemy? Its statement that the
University has forty-nine high schools
in this State on the list whose regular
graduates, drawn from the ranks of
the plain people, enter the University
on certificate and without examination,
as an argument in favor of the legisla-
ture granting it two hundred thousand
dollars, or any other sum, is quite as sill
ly as the Republics idea that because
Tribble and Wade advanced unsound
reasons for their action, therefore, the
legislature should make the appropri-
alton at once.
Next we will have scheme to en-
dow each Normal school, and then
more money will be asked for the UNI
versity, and so on, ad intnituna.
If Representative Farrar trains with
the University crowd he is liable to
get himself disliked He, as we are
informed. has voted exactly right on
every other question and his friends
here will regret to see him mar his rec

THE TRADES COUNCIL ACTS
A Stirring Resolution Adopted in
 Regard to Water.
A COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Will Investigate the Subject and Protect the Laborng CIasSes-Delegates Obligated
 Routine Business Transacted.

regular meeting of the Birmingham Trades Council was held in Clerks hall in Nineteenth street Sunday afternoon, and in addition to the routine business of the council a stirring resolution was passed en- dorsing the stand taken by Alderman Dren- nen, T. H. Molton and the press against the exorbftant rates of the Birmingham Waterworks company.
 The meeting was called to order by Presl- dent Acton with Secretary Russell at the desk. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.

 Resolution.
 Whereas, We have viewed with great in terest the controversy now going on in regard to the water supply for the city Of Birmingham; and,
 Whereas, A very able and exhaustive report by Alderman Drennen to the city council on the subject has resulted in an investigation which has brought forth the fact that the people of this city are paying an extravaganty high price for water of an inferior quality; and
 Whereas, People are subjected to very tyranmcal oppression and abuse by the Bir- mingham Waterworks company;
 Therfore be 1t resolved, That we hereby tender our thanks to Alderman Drennen for having the nerve and the courage of conviction to take hold of the subject and speak out in behalf of the people and against illegal and wrong-doings of the BIT mingham Waterworks company.
 Resolved further, That we do most hear tily endorse the action of Mir T. H. Motion in his determined stand and his active prosecution of the Waterworks company for having violated it's contract. Resolved. further That the president shall appoint a committee of five who shall make it a business to investigate the sub ject and do all in their power to protect the laboring classes from oppression and from unjust and high rates, which have been charged for necessity which God in- tended for man to enjoy at a very small cost.
 Resolved, further That we most heartily endorse the action of the press in their valiant fight for the people against this cor poration and that a copy of these resolu- tions be furnished the press for publica- tion
 President Acton appointed the following committee to act in accordance with the spirit of the resolution. R. L. Russell, John Acton, J. McGovern, M. Muniz, J. Turner and A. Mckinney.
 Favorable reports were received from the different locals. The affairs of the council were shown to be in good condition. The meeting then adjourned

BERT LEWIS OF P|TTSBURC
Blacksmith By Trade But Erst-
 while an "Hobo.'
DEAD FROM ASPHYXIATI0N
CrawIs in a Pit at the New Steel Mill to Spend inc Nght-Liberated From Jail
 By Mayor Evans.

Early Sunday morning the watchman at the steel mill of the Birmingham Rolling Mill company while making his regular inspection found the dead body of man under the iron flooring between the two furnaces. The body had all the appearance of being a tramp. and it seems that he had gotten down in the molding pit, crawled up between the furnaces, made him nice warm bed in the sand and dropped off to sleep.
 There is a gas escape in this little cuddy which happered to be in full operation at the time, and the tramp was as thoroughly asphyxiated as was the proverbial hayseed that 'blew out the gas.''
 The body was taken to the undertaking establishment of Warni-r x Smileys for Identification. Charles Haggarty identified the body as that of Spider Hollin alias Bert Lewis, a blacksmith from Pittsburg. r- Haggarty said that he and Lewis had been together in Nashville and had slept around engine houses there, "hoboing" 1t to Birmingham.
 They were arrested for drunkenness, but were turned loose Friday night by Mayor Evans. After that they separated and Haggarty says he looked for Lewis all night and Saturday. Haggarty was run in" again Saturday night and when he was released yesterday morning he went to the undertakers and identified his friend.
 About a week ago another tramp was lured by the tempting of the furnaces into this same fatal bed and it was with diff culty that the doctor saved his life the next morning.
