N1ichipan Estimntc of Burrows,

Senator Burrows is rather fine,
looking man. He dresses well. He
keeps his hair and beard neatly
trimmed. He has fairly good voice.
He is the faithful servant Of the peo-
ple"-that Is, of the people who made
him Senator. He has considerable rep
utation as an orntor-among people
WHO never heard him and with few
who mistake his shallow, flamboyaut
utterances for oratory. He is credited
with representing the commonwealth
Of Michigan in the United States Sen
ate. But Julius Caesar Burrows never
had any thoughts of his own, never
did an act in public life of his own
accord. never made speech giving his
own thoughts and never performed
any public action of his own volition
that entitled him to the position which
he assumes to occupy or to the respect
and confidence of the people.-Grand

The Agricultural Department reports
that its experiments with fodder beets

letting it lie two months during the

that 1t would be so OH certain soils, and
do not feel sure that 1t would prove so
on all. But we think the lesser labor

Nothing Too Bad for Pennsylvanta.
1t is impossible to conceive any act
revolving enough to shock Pennsyl-

cities was hot In revolt. But to-day
the machine is dominant in every city
