GRAHAM POPE DECLINES.
Won't Act on Tax Commission
Much Speculation on New
ett's Nomination.

Hon. Graham Pope has announced
that he has been compelled to de-
cline his appointment as member
OF the state tax commission on the
grounds that he cannot arrange his
private affairs so as to accept. Ac-
cording to Houghton dispatch he
has notified Gov. Bliss OF bis inten-
tion. The resignation Of Mr.. Pope
was generally expected. 1t is
known that when Gov. Bliss ap-
pointed him in the closing days of
the regular session of the Clegisla-
ture, about seven weeks ago,
that Mr.. Pope had as
surred the governor that he would
not serve. At that time the plan
of the pro-corporation people was
to have Pope resign and then have
Gov. Bliss name Geo. A. Newett, of
Ishpeming, as member of the tax
commission, thus making recess
appointment, good, at least, for
eighteen months. One of the tax
commissioners, however, expressed
the belief the governor would not
appoint Newett. He said that
either City Assessor Winslow, of
Kalamazoo, or ex-Auditor General
Dix would be appointed. Several
people, however, still look for the
appointment of Newett.

MIx-UP IN THE GAME LAW.
Claimed by Hep. Handy That the
Dates Have Been Changed.

Complaint has been made by Grand
Rapids sportsmen against the new
game law which was signed by the
governor. The charge is made that
the bill signed is not the one passed
by the legislature. This claim is
backed up by Chairman Handy, of
the house committee, as we'll as by
other members. The advance copies
Of the bill signed by the governor
were received few days ago, and
when studied it was found
that instead of the bird
season opening on October 18th,
as agreed upon by the compromise
committee, the section provides for
the opening on October 1st. 1t is
stated that when the bill was finally
passed the first-named date was
agreed upon, and that the dates
were changed after the bill left the
house and before it reached the
governor. What the effect of this
will be remains to be seen. If the
entire law is knocked out it undoes
the work Of the legislature entirely,
returns to the old law, which pro
vides for five deer for each hunter
and allows the sale of venison. If
only that one section is knocked
out, then there will be no bird shoot
ing at all, as the old laws were all
repealed by this act. The matter
has been referred to the attorney
general for an opinion.

MR.. SHEPARD INCONSISTENT

The speech of Edward NJ Shepard,
accepting the Tammany nomination
for mayor of New York, is said to be
adroit. New Workers, however, are not
in a mood to appreciate mere adroit-
ness or cleverness. They demand hon
esty of aim and purpose and any bad
image to make black appear white, how
ever skillful, is quite lost at this time.
The New York Times has found a few
sentences used by Mr.. Shepard in 1898
to describe the relatively helpless sit
uation of a good man in office when
surrounded by evil conditions and fore
es. They are as follows:
Again and again independents have
elected a good man on the theory that
all that is required is to have a good
man in office. Again and again they
have been disappointed in the practi-
cal results. 1 tell you, fellow citizens,
Democrats and Republicans that much
more is necessary; that the best of men
in any office is himself, against his will,
however powerful in chief measure the
creature of the conditions or the in
strument of the forces that surround
him."
Granting that Mr.. Shepard is the
good man that his friends consider
him to be it seems strange that he
should have forgotten so completely
his own excellent words for he must
know that party man in Office amid
bad surroundings, is just as helpless as
the Independent candidate. Possibly
he has acted in accord with his sense
of duty in accepting the nomination but
it would have been more in harmony
with the accepted principles of ethics
had he spurned it and worked for the
election of Mr.. Low and the entire in
dependent ticket with all his might.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER Ii. 1901
coNNEcIlcuT,s ELECTION

The proposal to hold a constitution
al convention which was voted upon
by the people of Connecticut, Monday
was carried by about 10000 majority.
The opposition came chiefly from the
sparsely settled towns, the cities, nat
urally, being very much in its favor.
Each town next month will elect del
egate to the convention which will
convene in Hartford in Janaury. AS
already explained in The Spy the pur-
pose of the convention is to provide for
a more equitable representation in the
Lower House of the Legislature, based
on population in accord with the meth
DDS in vogue in other states. The ac-
ton of the convention of course does
not settle the proposed change in the
government of the state, as the people
will have the opportunity of accepting
or rejecting at the polls any action the
convention may take.
Besides deciding in favor of holding
the convention the people voted in IA
vor of two amendments to the consti-
tuition. The first provides for plural
ity elections of states officers. This
amendment was carried by $4,000 ma
jority 1t goes into effect at once and
it will prevent another deadlock like
that which arose from the election of
1890 when the vote of the minor par
ties was so large that the Democrats
who had plurality on the state tick
ct were in the minority and the cleo
ton was referred to the legislature, in
accordance with law. There, owing to
the fight between the Republicans and
Democrats, no agreement could be
reached and Governor Buckley re-
manned in office two years after his
term expired.
The second constitutional amend
ment which the people endorsed pro-
vides for a readjustment of the state
senatorial districts.
The Hartford Courant counsels
against sending extremists to the con-
stitutional convention. The state, it
says, does not wish for men who pro-
pose to tear things to pieces, nor yet
for those who will not lift a finger to
change anything.

HE pEAIH oE THE AMER

Afghanistan is important through it's
position as the buffer state between
India and Asiatic Russia. 1t is for
that reason that the death of the
ameer is an event of great Importance
to England and one of general inter
est to the entire world.
Abdurrahman was placed on the
ago and his allegiance to the British
Indian government was secured by the
payment of an annual subsidy
amounting to $52S,00O, which about
twelve years later was increased
1892, 900. England's purpose in paying
these large subsidies was to enable
the ameer to consolidate his power and
strengthen the state in every way pos
sible. He accordingly organized an
army of 10000 men, provided modern
arms and built an arsenal for the
manufacture of guns and ammunition.
As the ameer became powerful he be-
came somewhat more Independent and
careless of Great Britains interest,
though there was no open rupture be-
tween the two countries.
The late ameer was called the great.
He possessed a strong character and
will and had excellent judgment.
Though his country was semi
barous, he was quick to see the ad-
vantages to be reaped by the intro
duction of the arts of civilization. It
will be understood that his position
was a very difficult one, when it is re-
membered that he was called upon to
maintain an alliance with England
and at the same time keep on friendly
terms with Russia. In performing his
difficult task so well he showed him
self to be a remarkable man.
If the ameer's successor Habibullah
Khan, is strong enough to maintain
the government and is proof against
Russian intrigue, all may be well with
England. He was selected some time
ago by his father for the succession
and received a careful training for the
position.

TOYS OLD AND NEW

Fashion in toys varies from season
to season like fashions In dress and
other things There are certain stand
ard toys that never go out Of style,
but with these exceptions, toys come
and go. some disappearing apparently
for all time and others only to return
again under new guise.
All through the summer minds and
hands are buslly at work designing and
fashioning new things to please the
children at Christmas time. If some
thing has come into vogue that Is par
ticularly delightful to grown-up folk
the toy-makers know that the same
thing IN miniature or initiated some
way will delight the little ones. and
they allow themselves to be guided
largely by that principle.
A writer for the Philadelphia Press
mentions some of the toys that are to
be in fashion. There will be pretty toy
automobiles which Of course, takes the
place in a measure of the horses and
wagons in metal that have so long af
forded amusement to boys. The toy
automobile appeared, last year. but it is
expected that there will be greater sale
for it, this winter Because of the
yacht races and the interest they Gre
ated the children will be more eager
than ever for boats. Sailing craft will
very likely lead in popularity. Toy an
imals are always in demand but now
those of plain wood command little
respect. The boy is not satisfied unless
the semblance to real animals is in
creased by coats of wool and hair. The
dolls for little girls will be of infinite
variety, and the talking and walking
doll will have place of honor among
the doll hosts.
Both boys and girls, it is said, are
becoming fonder and fonder of me-
chanical toys, preferring them to all
others. The old wooden toys have been
crowded back by the ingenious contriv-
ances that make the modern toys in
teresting even to the fathers and moth
ers.
Whether children of today gain great
er pleasure from an abundance of
toys of complicated structure than chill
dren used to derive from a few simple
things, is a question. So plant and
easily stirred is the childish magma
ton that very ordinary things suggest
the extraordinary and beautiful to
them. Thus it may happen that a very
poor child whose stock of toys num-
Der but two or three little things may
really be possessed of toys as delight
full as those owned by a rich boy of
more prosaic mind. But of course, in
another instance, it may be the rich
boy who has the Imagination, and the
poor boy who is lacking. Yet nature
has so provided that all children, as a
rule, have the ability to amplify and
beautify whatever there is at hand so
that it becomes charming and makes
their lives sufficiently joyful.

COMMUNICATIONS

To the Editor of The Spy
How is it that Archbishop Corrigan

sents have become so hostile toward
the Socialists? Is not the solution of
this inquiry to be found in the fact
that the man who slew our President
was nurtured in that church, which re-
CARDS all present rulers as usurpers

the sanction of the Pope? Can we
wonder that this anarchistic church
