Are absent minded people prophets
Is what they do when under q fit of
lost consciousness to be regarded as
disclosing coming events? The reason
why we ask these questions is that
one of these absent minded men
was going to the postoffice the other
day, and in place of going to the right
place, fetched at-well, we'll not
name the place; but the proprietor of

The people of Michigan haye long
known that they haye a governor cap
able of doing surprising things. Other
wise the call for an extra session of
the State Legislature would have
taken our breath away. Coming as it
does in the midst of campaign, and
almost at its closing crisis; it is q little
troublesome to all members of the
legislature who are just now busy with
their fall work. The reasons assigned
for this special session are set forth in
the call, and all cluster about the
central point and object of the call,
viz: to submit to the people an amend
ment to the state constitution which
will enable the legislature to properly
deal with the questions arising out of
the taxation of railways, express lines,
telegraph and telephone companies,
and other corporations doing business
in Michigan. The legislature is now
in session at Lansing, and we see no
reason why their work should be of
many days duration. If such amend
ment is placed in the hands of the
people, it will be their dnty TO ratify
or condemn as seems best to the ma
iorily.
