Early Tuesday evening John Dres-
coll, boss of the laborers engaged in
arching Bogg's run, was working in
the vicinity of the dump where the
cinders from the Riverside mill are
dumped, and came upon a portion of
ground that had settled in the shape
of grave, and later found a rusted
axe lying nearby. Suspecting that a
murder had been committed and the
victim had been buried here he noti-
fed the town authorities and yester-
day afternoon Marshal Furbee and Of
ficer Slippner repaired to the spot des-
ignate0 and made An investigation.
After digging to the depth of about
two feet, the two officials found the
skeleton of COW, which from appear
ances had lain entombed for quite A.
While past Before the investigation
by the authorities number of people
were attracted to the spot and there
was considerable speculation as to
what might be found, many believing
that a crime had been committed

Those who have watched the progress
of Gov Pingree's effort to secure the
ownership and control Of its street car
system by the city of Detroit will regard
the final outcome with surprise. The
movement is now at an end, at least for
the present, and, apparently, for an in
definite time to come. The withdrawal
tiations looking to their purchase must
be regarded as a severe blow to the move
ment for municipal ownership, which has
been making considerable progress in
The circumstances under which the
movement has thus been defeated in De-
troit are sufficiently interesting to admit
of brief statement. The plan of pur-
chase had been agreed on. While there
was some haggling over the price it had
been substantially agreed that the city
took the property on the basis of its pur-
chase value for the period during which
it's franchises had yet to run. The mayor
had vetoed the arrangement; but he was
generally regarded as going outside his
functions in taking such action. An ap-
peal was then made to the supreme court
OF the state, with the result that the
plan of purchase and transfer agreed on
was declared unconstitutional.
Gov. Pingree now refuses to say what
is likely to be done, if anything, to re-
move the objections of the supreme court,
or whether the movement will now be
closed since the companies have with
drawn. He does not decline, however, to
express his opinion of the highest court Of
his state. He declares very forcibly that
it's members are owned by Senator Nc
MILAN, and that their decision was made
with a direct view to the possible injury
which might ensue to his political infiu-
ence among the people. He says a num-
Der of other things regarding the court
which are even less Creditable to its mem
bers, declares that he has enlisted in the
war to drive them from the bench and
that none of them will ever be reelected
if he can prevent it.
The political interest which attaches to
this first failure of the Michigan execu-
tive centers chiefly in the fact that it
involves the candidacy of Secretary Alger
for the succession to the present seat Of
Senator Mcmillan. War has been de-
clared between these two Republican
statesmen. The administration stands on
the side of Mcmillan; yet the secretary Of
war of that administration is on the side
of Pingree and is himself the opponent
of Mcmillan. The situation is one which
illustrates anew the grand variety of
opinions and policies which the Repub-
lican statesmen in Michigan and else
where are ready to adopt and pursue
when it comes to the question of getting
or holding on to office.

OFFICERS PAID TOO MUCH
And Privates Too Little by the
United States Government.

And Privates Too Little by the
United States Government.
To the Editor Of the Globe:
The provision in the army bill passed by
the last congress, which prohibits the sale
of intoxicating drinks in any military post,
exchange or canteen, was hailed with
satisfaction by the generality of people,
and it was expected that it would be as
promptly enforced by the war department
as any other Of the provisions of the army
bill. The arbitrary action Of Attorney
General Griggs in multiplying this particu-
lar section of the act by his quibbling de-
cision that its provisions could be evaded
by constituting it's meaning contrary to the
plain intention of congress, and evidently
so interpreted to suit the wishes of the
war department and army officers, has
been widely condemned by the public, and
this intentional perversion of a plain pro-
vision of a national law by high public
officials and army officers deserves severe
congressional rebnke. The intention of
congress was unquestionably to prohibit
the sale of fntoxfcants by any officer pri-
vate soldier or any other person on any
premises used for military purposes by
the national government. This provision
in the army bill is as follows:
Section II. That no officer or private
soldier shall be detailed to sell tntoxicat-
ing drinks as bartender or otherwise, in
any post, exchange or canteen, nor shall
any person be required or allowed to sell
such liquors in any encampment or fort or
on any premises used for military pur-
poses by. the United States; and the sec
retary Of war is hereby directed to issue
such general order as may be necessary
to carry the provisions of this section into
full force and effect,

THE PuRLIC WAS LUST.

During a recent parade of volunteer
soldiery in Greater New York, the Sew
enth regiment was hissed, while the
Seventy-first was cheered. The differ
ence in the popular treatment of these
two regiments is instructive. The former
refused to go to the front at the break
out Of the late war. The latter went;
but was not distinguished by it's bravery
On the contrary, 1t is regarded as hav-
ing given very clear demonstration down
in Santiago Of the truth that discretion
is the better part Of valor
The judgment of the public thus passed
on these two regiments is sound. Any
body of men organized for military pur-
poses who are willing year after year
to march on the public highways behind
full band and to receive public ap-
plause and adulation such as has been
expended on the Seventh almost to the
entire exclusion of its sister volunteer
regiments and which refuses to so to
the front when fighting is to be done is
body of milk-sops, and should be dis
banded.
The men of the Seventh, we have been
told, are mostly very prominent in bust
ness. They could not afford to give their
valuable time to fighting their countrys
battles in the ranks. That being the
case, why did they not have sense and
decency enough to leave the business Of
soldering to others who were willing
to meet it's responsibilities as they
arose? There never was like body
that received in such great meas
ure the admiration and applause Of the
people as this particular regiment For
an entire generation it had paraded
Broadway behind Gilmore's or Sousa's
band, and the people turned out to
welcome and applaud. To turn tail, as
its men and officers have DONE would
have been sufficient to secure their be-
ing mustered out long since were they
men from the ordinary ranks Of life.
They now declare that they are willing
to go to the Philippines. Let them go by
all means. If the regiment is not sent,
its usefulness is at an end, and it should
be disbanded.
While the members of the Seventh gen
orally belong to Gov. Roosevelt's set, it
is worthy of note that he did his vol
unteer soldering in a more democratic
body, the Ninth regiment He should
now use his influence to have the
Seventh men sent to the Philippines, or
else he should muster them out. A regi-
ment which IS publicly hissed. and for the
reason that prevailed in this case, should
put an end to itself by going either to
the front or to the rear. The public
can afford to be generous with men
who, like the boys of the Seventy first,
gave way to panic when first brought
under fire, and who have shown. not
withstanding, that they are brave men.
But it has and ought to have no feel
ing toward such a body as the Seventh
except the contempt which it so openly
expressed at that parade.

to go. 1t can carry solid shot, shrapnel
or bursting charge Of high explo-
sive which will kill by concussion within
a radius of 200 feet.
1t is not too much to say that the Ia
gal who will not consent to be civilized
and Christianized according to our ideas
deserves no better fate than to be caught
within that 200 feet radius. If our treason
able tendencies were not so clearly es-
tablished as they are we might take the
liberty Of adding that at the prevailing
rate of progress in getting that new army
together it is future generation Of the
Filipinos, however, which will have the
grandeur Of this new civilizing agent
demonstrated on them.
