A MOST peculiar anomaly exists in
Michigan. Governor Pingree, elected
as republican, recommends a list OF
reforms such as our populist governors
have not dared to tackle. In fact,
what would, by our critics be termed
the widest and crankiest populist
screed issued by any governor, this
year comes from a republican. tits a
good document and suggests reforms
that are demanded by the exigencies
of the times, but the legislature will
ray little heed to it. Then we appre-
bend some one will turn loose the
dogs of war

This is only exceeded by the panic year
Of 1898. 1t does not seem possible that
this epidemic of failures can continue
very long, for it is said to be about lao
percent of all business firms in opera
ton. The one peculiar thing about 1t
is that the heaviest part Of them have
come in the latter part Of the year when
we should have had confidence" and
everything serene. While this strain
may ease up and probably will, it is
plainly evident that no marked change
for the better will come until there are
radical changes in our financial and in
dustrial systems,

THE gravity of the famine in India
is becoming something appalling. The
statement is made that in the district
of Jabalpur, which has a population of
two million, almost one million have
died of starvation. In addition to the
famine, the dread bubOnic plague, has
broken out. This is a plague which
has threatened to depopulste both
Asia and Europe at different times.
There appears considerable evidence
that it is the same as the great plague
which so deVasted Europe in the 10th.

THE insult given to Governor Altgeld
at the inauguration ceremonies in Illi-
nois was almost, il not quite, without
precedent in any similar exercises. 1t
is the usual custom in inaugural cere-
monies In Illinois as elsewhere, for
those In charge to call upon the out
going governor for short address. 1t
is one of the little cOurtesies which
often serves to soften the POLITICAL ran
COR that may have existed during the
preceding campaign. 1t is a time
when all are on the common ground Of
patriotism and loyalty to our institu-
tions which provide for such a change
in administration. To fail to observe
these customs which recognize the out
going as we'll as the incoming authOri-
ties, whatever their political complex
ion may be, is to degrade these func-
tiOns from the lofty plain of tolerance
and fellowship among citizens in our
beloved country. to a public demon
stratlon OF partisanship, narrowness
and intolerance. 1t would not have
been SO mean, had it not been that
pains we're taken to prevent his deliv-
ering the address after he had been
called upon.

Three months have not elapsed since
McKinley's election and his Inaugural
ton will not take place yet for six Or
seven weeks. Yet the republican pa
pers fOreseeing the wrath to come are
beginning to explain why and how it is
that the advance agent of prosperity
had not advanced the goods.
Before election all that was needed
if you would listen to these clackers was
that Mckinley be elected and conf
dence" be restored. Confidence that
we were to have no disastrous tinkering
with the coin, and that values should
be stable. Occasionally some one would
add that wemust have new tariff law.
But they now foresee that we have
small prospects of better times under
Mckinley and are explaining DOG only
that We haYe yet had no change in the
tariff but are trying to shift the respon-
sibll!ty in bulk by saying that they have
not full charge Of the government, the
Senate being in the hands of the opp0-
sition.
While this is true, it also appears to
be true that they will have no difficulty
in passing tariff bill to suit them
selves, as a number of the silver sena-
tors wish to give them all the RESPONSE
bility they will take. Since this pur-
pose has become manifest the new tar

BOLD PILFERERS

Numerous Burglaries and Rob

Police.
Several Supposed Crooks Arrested
and Locked Up In the
Tanks.

Chief Of Police Lees has instructed
his men to arrest all the suspicious
characters they may meet. The In
structions were issued because Of the
numerous reports of burglaries and
petty pilferings that have recently been
made at police headquarters.
Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday
morning Detectives Tom Gibson and
Egan arrested two well dressed young
men, who. they claim, are clever
crooks. They gave their names as
Jack" O'Brien and James Reynolds,
and were locked up in the tanks pend
ing an investigation.
1t is said that the men have been
working" the stores on Market street,
and it is estimated that their booty
amounts to several hundred dollars.
Their plan was to pick out an easy"
store and while one acted as a look
out" the other would enter and pre-
tend to be anxious to buy a Christmas
present for his best girl While the
clerks attention was engaged the
''look out" would secretly enter the
store and purloin articles of value. He
would conceal them in an overcoat,
which he conveniently carried on his
left arm.
The same detectives have also ar
rested several other men who they
strongly suspect of being crooks.
They will be held pending an inves-

Ten members of the glee club of

mas eve.
"Adeste Fidelis" and Noel" were
caroled merrily before different resi-
dences from midnight until Christmas
dawn. The singing Of the popular old
Yuletide melodies sounded very beau
tiful on the frosty morning air. The
cadets borrowed the idea from the
quaint old-country custom of serenad-
ing friends on Christmas eve, and the
folks entertained voted the innovation
a great success.
