Suicide of w. j. Gilbert.

w. j. Gilbert committed suicide IN an
outbuilding at his home in Niles, Mich
last Sunday. He was a prominent lawyer
and a former mayor of Niles and acted
as guardian of many of the estates In
that section, beside, being prominent
figure in the social and political life of
Michigan. 1t is thought that the failure
of the First National bank of Niles, with
the arrest of Charles Johnson, the cash
Ter of the bank, for wrecking the insti-
tuition, may have caused the act, as Mr..
Gilbert was the legal adviser and close
business friend of johnson and may have
been financially ruined by the failure

ures which otherwise would not meet with
the approval of the house"
Granting that all this is true, where does
the blame lie? Is it not upon the house it
self? when the house placed in the hands of
the speaker the autocratic power which he
now possesses when it invested the commit
tee on rules, which is the speaker, with the
right TO plan all legislative programmes
when the individual members abdicated their
sovo reign responsibility, the way was payed
for the present greatness ana influence of
the senate. The house has surrendered the
proud title which it once possessed of being
the chief factor in national legislation and
has become the Subservient executor of the
speakers Will. 1t is true that it rests with the
ma ority of The house to rebuke the speake r
by refusing to iopt n special rule which, as
in the case f the army bill with Its riders, is
submitted for adoption. As matter of fact,
such rebuke is never administered, Tor no
member has the temerity 10 oppose the dis.

private measure rests. 1t needed only the
assent of the speak er to the adoption of the

himself to the successful organization of op
position to the enactment of the legislation
which he condemns, instead of venting his
spite against the senate for formulating it, be

special rule.
But why waste time in suggesting the i'm
possible. All the energy and responsiveness
which Mr.. Littefield possesses in such gener.
GUS measure would have awaited nothing in
an attt mpt to overthrow the dicturn of the

March Weather.

An exchange says: The storm month is

terday's dispatches reported a cyclone in
Alabama, "a tornado In Michigan, snow
blockades in Nebraska and Colorado, a
cloudburst in South Carolina, an electri-

floods in Texas, a hurricane in Tennessee,
and miscellaneous mix of nasty weather
in other parts Of the Union. Every in

On yesterday the numerous climates of
North America made a record of temper

of boquets OF pinks from the c. f. society and
center-piece of rare and beautiful camelias

The recent census ia Vermont showed
that the decline in population indicated
by former censuses had been checked
and that small increase oyer ten years
ago was registered. The special reports
are now being sent out from the census
office and these appear to show that the
ratio of Increase and decrease In this
state keeps step with the farm popula-
ton pretty exclusively. Fifteen years
ago the tide of immigration to cheap
western farm lands was at its height and
Vermont farms suffered in consequence.
During the past few years the tide has
been turning this way and 53G more
farms were reported this year than ten
years ago.
