CHANGE IN THE DRAIN LAW

The legislature has made a very inn
portant change in the drain law. There
are several minor changes, but the
most radical one is the adjustment of
the Office of township drain commission
er. The bill was given immediate
effect.
The new law provides that all
records of old drains in possession of
township clerks and township drain
commissioners shall be turned over to
corresponding county officers; also, all
funds in hands of township treasurers
shall be turned over to county treas
urer. For time, at least, the work of
county officers will be largely increas-
ed. The other changes in the law are
mostly technical as to specific direc-
tions for conducting the business. The
last section OF the drain law provides
that township drain commissioners can
complete drains begun by them as
though the law had not been enacted.

ing more intimately acquainted. A

joyable feature of the occasion. 1t is
expected that the business houses Of
our city will close during the dinner
hour, The Belding band will un-
doubtedly join us in our line of march,
A large bicycle parade is also being
arranged and fine preparations are be-
ing made to make this a gala day for

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Progress Being Made by Congress Upon
Tarin BiIl Cuban Question.
WASHINGTON, June II, ls9,

| WASHINGTON, June IL, 1897.
The most hopeful man on the Repub-
lican side of the senate could scarcely
have anticipated the speed that has
been made this week in disposing of
the tariff bill Not only has there
been gratifying progress, but the Re-
publican senators IN their caucus de-
termined to accept the house sugar
schedules with slight amendment,
instead of the schedule framed by the
senate committee This will not only
close the mouths of those who were
inclined to attack the senate sugar
schedules as favorable to the trust, but
will also reduce the time that the bill
is likely to occupy in the conference
committee. 1t strengthens greatly the
belief that the bill will become "A law
during the present month.
In this connection it is interesting to
inquire whether congress has really
been slow in its work on the tariff bill +,
and this inquiry develops the remark
able fact that no president since Wash
ington has had an opportunity TO
attach his signature to tariff law
within as brief space of time after
his Inauguration as will William Me-
Kinley unless some entirely unexpect-
ed development shall interrupt the
progress toward its early completion.
There is good reason TO believe that
the tariff bill will pass the senate with
in the present month and that Presi-
dent Mckinley will have an opportunity
to sign it within four months of the
date of his Inauguration. Even Pres
ident Lincoln, who came into Office
under extraordinary conditions and cir
cumstances, and with war in prospect,
did not sign his first tariff act until
August 3, 1861. President William
Henry Harrison called congress in
special session shortly after his inaug-
uration on March 4, lS4l, because of
the condition OF finances and revenue,
yet that congress did not put its tariff
Dlll upoU bHt sldLulS DOOhS uubll
August 30, 1912. When it is consider
ed that the Republican party, which
controls the house, has now but 43 of
the SO members of the senate, the fact
that its leaders have been able to make
the speed which they have developed
in the consideration of this and other
important legislation should satisfy
the most exacting, if they but take the
trouble to compare present conditions
and 7Sl osent progress with that of any
other period in the history of the
country.
Public interest in the Cuban situa-
tion has been revived by the return of
Special Commissioner Calhoun from
Cuba. 1t is believed that President
Mckinley and Secretary Sherman are
now likely to have sufficient informa-
tion within comparatively short time
to enable them TO act intelligently and
in way which will bring relief and
encouragement and substantial aid not
only to American citizens in Cnba, but
to those who are struggling in behalf
OF the cause OF liberty. There is no
doubt that the president recognizes
the gravity of the situation and will
give it his best attention at once.

The'publisher Of newspaper has one
thing to sell and one thing to rent.
He has the newspaper TO sell and the
space in his columns to rent. Can any
one inform US why he should be ex-
pected to give away either the one or
the other? He can If he chooses, and
he does, as matter of fact furnish a
great deal of space rent free. But it
does not follow that he ought to be
expected to do SO. 1t ought to be rec
ognized as contribution exactly as
would be the giving away Of sugar or
coffee by grocer. But, strange to
say, it is not looked upon in that light
at all, yet everybody knows that the
existence OF "A newspaper depends upon
the rent of its space and the sale of the
paper as merchants success depends
on selling his goods instead of giving
them away.
