BILE from the passage or defeat of cer-
tain bills will deter the Republican fac.
tion from drawing the line, and thus
tend to enforce greater harmony Of ac-
tion on the part of the majority.
The administration made nothing by
having the Atkinson bill sent to a spe.
cial committee, inasmuch as it devel-
opes that a decided majority of the
committee, while strongly favorins
equal taxation, are no more in favor o.
the particular bill introduced by Mr.
Cheever than are a majority of the
members Of the regular railroad COM
mittee to which the bill would havt
been sent had not the special commit
tee been ordered. In fact, five mem
bers of the railroad committee Were
placed on the special committee. 1t il
very evident that a large number c
the legislators do not subscribe to IL
proposition of the administration tha
the Republican state platform indorse
the Atkinson bill, their contention be
ing that the Endorsement was of the
principles of the Atkinson BILL" and
they are inclined to insist that there
be no discrimination, but that all kinds
of property be included in whatever
equal taxation laws are passed, rather
than to be content with simply increas-
ing the taxes of railroad, telegraph and
telephone companies.
Chance for n Division.
They also object to the Atkinson bill
because it is now conceded that it will
not reach the main line of the Michi-
gan Central, which is the particular
property all desire to reach, and which
was supposed to be subject to the pro-
visions of the bill when the latter was
passed by the house at the special ses-
sion, 1t will be seen that there is plenty
OF chance for a division of the major
ity on this question without deprivine
either faction of the right to insist that
it is standing by the party platform
pledge.
The situation in the senate appears to
be no better for the success of the ad-
ministration measures than does that
of the house. In fact, the latter war
rants the greater hopefulness The dis.

PATHErIC STORY.
aaving Considers bic "f u Local Signif-
cance

Coldwater, Mich, jan. II "A funeral
procession was stopped IN the highway
Tuesday, a few miles from this CITY,
under peculiar circumstances. The in
cidrnt was q elimination Of events OF
more than half q century's growth.
Sixty four years ago Mrs. Ensley walk
ed behind loaded wagon that carried
al the worldly goods possessed by her
self and husband from Hillsdale TO Cold
water aud to farm in Batavia, five
miles distant, and carried her six months
Old child In her arms.
She and her husband were among the
first pioneers to settle In that township
aud she lives TO day on the same spot
where she helped to erect a log cabin 20
many years ago, but the cabin has long
since been replaced by substantial
iarm residence. She is row widow
and rs years old She has suffered for
the past two years from the infirmities II
age and has not been able TO leave her
room.
The boy, Jacob Ensley, whom che
carried In her arms 81 years ago, aud
who has resided lately on farm of his
own few miles from the old Homestead
has been an invalid for year, and died
Saturday, his mother being too feeble to
go to his bedside.
Tuesday, as the procession bearing her
sons lifeless tody to Its burial place near
this city, was about to pass the maternal
residences, 1t was halted, AID the casket,
lifted by neighborly hands, was borne 10
the house and placed beside the bedside
of the mother, who was permitted TO
gaze upon her sons face for the last
time. A hymn was sung, few words OF
coincidence said, and the casket was
carried back to the hearse and the pro-
cession once more moved, the sged
mothers eyes filed with tears, straininy
to .catch the last view of the mourning

satisfaction on the part OF the so-called
anti administration senators with the
committees appointed by Lieutenant
Governor Robinson has found express
sion in an action which has no prece-
dent so far as known in Michigan leg
islation. This action had the effect of
revolutionizing all the important COM
mittees, except railroads, in each in
stance the administration majority be-
ing changed to a minority This was
done by the adoption Of a resolution in
creasing the number of members OF
each of these committees and naming
the senators to be added to each. An
effort was made to permit the leuten-
ant governor 10 appoint the additional
committeeman, but the motion to this
effect was defeated by the significant
vote of IS to 8, five senators being abb
sent when the vote was taken. From
the known sentiments of one or two OF
the absentees ii is evident that oppo-
nents of the administration were not
very far out of the way when they
claimed that they will have the support
of a majority of the senate just as
they had two years ago. At this writ
ing. therefore, the outlook for the pas
sage Of the bills that have thus far been
most discussed is not at all reassuring.
Recess in the Near Future.
There appears to be a general dispo-
sition on the part of the legislators to
take a recess Of ten days in the near
future in order that the committees
may have an opportunity to visit the
various state institutions previous to
the expiration Of the time within which
bills may >e introduced. Two years
ago this recess was dispensed with. At
that time / contended that whatever,
the surface indications may be, the
long recess is a good investment for
the state, and / still think that it is a
saving of both time and money All
through the last session there was
continual postponement OF the consider
alton of bills from day to day because
some person interested in them was
away visiting this or that state insti-
tuition, and on occasions the number of
bills that had to be put at the foot of
the calendar for this reason was so
great that one house or the other was
forced to adjourn for lack of work The
only proper way to handle this matter
is to have all this visiting done at once.
and that, too, before the real work Of
considering bills in committee of the
whole or on third reading commences
In earnest Under the constitution the
first vote in the legislature proper for
United States senator will be taken on
Tuesday of this week, and when this
matter is disposed of arrangements for
the long recess will be made.

Silence of PhlIOROphY.

The story goes that Mrs. Carlyle ven-
tured up to Carlyle's sublime garret"
with her needlework one day, but be-
fore long her husband drew attention
to the noise which she made with her
needle Folding her hands idly upon
her lap, she sat motionless, but pres
emily the silence was broken by the
voice of the philosopher. Jane" said
he, 81 can hear you breathing" AS
Mrs. Carlyle found it inconvenient to
abandon this natural process, she was
forced to give up all attempts at bear
ing her husband company in his study.

Adhere to the Old system.

Statistics just compiled by Superin-
tendent OF Public instruction Hammond
show that vast majority Of the school
districts OF the state still adhere to
the old system governing text books.
Reports were received from about $500
OF the 7200 school districts in the state.
OF these 44O had adopted free text books
previous to last September, and 268
adopted them during that month, while
743 adopted uniform books and 1858 ad-
hered to the old system.
The residents of local option counties
will be interested in a bill introduced
last Friday by Senator Humphrey. 1t
is designed to make greater restric-
tions about the sale Of liquor by drug
gists in these counties. At present
many of the drug stores are practically
saloons. but if this bill passes, drug
gists will be required to make detailed
reports of all sales to the prosecuting
attorney once each month. 1t also pro-
vides that all elections on this subject
shall be held at the time of the regular
election in April. thus eliminating the
great expense Of special elections from
time to time.
The portion OF Governor Pingree's re-
cent message which attracted most at
tention is that which relates to the en-
croachments Of trusts and combines. 1t
is possible that some attempt at egis-
lation may follow the governors sug-
gestion. At least the senate has re-
ferred that portion OF the document to
the judiciary committee with the re-
quest that it embody its views on the
subject in a bill or otherwise and re-
port
The Telegraph Bill.
Aside from the railroad taxation bills,
the only measures affecting corporations
thus far introduced affect telegraph and
fire insurance companies. The tele-
graph bill, which was introduced by
Representative Burch OF Detroit is
fashioned after the law recently enact
ed in Kansas. 1t provides that all mes
sages sent to points within the state
shall be charged for at the rate of %
cents for fifteen words or less, the pres
ent rate being 25 cents for ten words
or less. The bill also makes a uniform
press rate OF one-third of a cent a
word. the existing rate being from Il
to l cent word, according to the dis
tance.

LEGISLATURE AT WORK
Results Will Soon Begin to APP
pear at Lansing.
THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE.

Anti Administration Men Take Action
Which Has No Precedent So Far as
Known in Michigan Legislation-The
Atkinson Bill-Recess May BE Taken in
Order That Committees May Visit the
Various State institutions.
Lansing, Mich, Jan. 1.-THE first
real work i'm the line of legislation
was done by the present legislature
last week, the first week having
been devoted to the speakership and
senatorial caucuses and hearing the
governors message. The legislature
may now be said to be doing actual
business, and the results will soon begin
to appear in the shape Of enacted laws.
The week has been important in that
two tests of strength have been made
and the result may have an important
bearing on various matters of legisla-
tion soon to be considered AS intimat-
ed last week the committee appoint
ments in the house were far from be-
ing satisfactory to the state administra-
ton, and they had scarcely been an
nounced before a caucus of the admin
istration forces was held and it was
decided to make an effort to have the
house itself name the committee to
which the railroad taxation bills should
be referred. Accordingly. Mr.. Cheever,
who is the successor of Colonel Atkin-
son as the administration leader on the
floor of the house, offered a resolution
naming the special committee, and the
fight was on. The contest was waged
for several hours, when a recess was
taken for dinner. and during this inter-
val a compromise was affected. Mr..
Cheever accepting an amendment
whereby the speaker was authorized
to name the special committee. The
only vote taken during this controver-
sy showed the factions TO be divided at
the rate Of 4S to 40, thus showing that
the eight Democratic members who re-
Trained from voting hold the balance Of
power between them.
Important Bearing on Legislation.
1t is not improbable that this discovery
will have an important bearing on leg
islation. Either it will place the fate
of various bills in the hands OF this
minority, or the knowledge that a fac
tional fight will give the Democrats an
opportunity to get all the glory obtaina--
