From the Gratiot County Herald.
Repeated conferences of the House OF
Representatives has brought no solution
of the vexed question of Cuban reci-
procity on sugar. The Herald called
attention last week to the excellent
work done by Representative Darragh
in stirring up the Michigan delegation
to stand as unit in opposition to this
great wrong Among the other members
from Michigan who deserve well of their
constituents in this respect is Repre-
sentative j. w. Fordney of the eighth
district. A man of excellent business
ability and remarkable energy, he has
proven himself one of the strongest men
on the Michigan delegation. The beet
sugar interests owe much to Representa-
tive Fordney.
Amongsthose outside the state who
have led the fight and shown them
selves.equal to every emergency are the
two congressman from Minnesota,
Representatives Tawney and Morris.
Michigan and Minnesota have made
themselves felt in this fight as have no
other states in the union.

They refuse to be counted out, those
Michigan representatives in congress,
and with punch on all the vital points
known, they still come up at the end of
the count as smiling and bland as if
they had simply slipped on a banana
peel. When you talk about congress
men having that bull dog tenacity" it
may be applied in its full force to Repre-
sentatives Aplin, Smith and Fordney.
If ever bunch of congressman turned
the president to his wits end, and upset
the plans of speaker who has known
no defeat, these gentlemen are 'it." In
the sugar beet fight they have remained
at their post in face of the party lash
and they have succeeded in bringing
up before our body of representatives
knowledge of our industries that they
never knew existed 1t has been a

SHOOK THEM UP.
Supreme Court Got After the Justices
on Tramp Question.

Lansing, Mich, March 19-The ST.
preme court. in It's opinion in the cases
of Frederick s. Hutchinson and James
Curry VS.. the board of supervisors Of
Iehia county, sat down hard upon the
tramp industry. which reaches agra
waiting proportions in that county.
Hutchinson and Curry, justices of
the peace, presented bills for services
in the alleged trials of tramps. The
supervisors refused to allow the bills,
claiming that the justices had not
complied with the statutes, and fur
thermore, that there was collision be-
tween the justices and the police Off
GERS. The circuit court found that the
justices were entitled to their fees,
and so ordered, whereupon the super
visors appealed to the supreme court.
The officers who made the arrests
were constables and police officers of
lOnia city. 1t appears that the prose-
cutting attorney refused to give writ
ten order allowing these arrests, and
the justices, therefore, required Sc
curity for costs. The bonds were
signed in blank by one surety and left
with the justices. The constables
made the complaints, and when pris~
oner was arraigned the justice would
simply fill out one of the blank bonds
and proceed to send the prisoner to
Jail.
The court holds that where bonds in
criminal cases are signed in blank by
a surety and left with the officer of the
law to fill in and use as he sees fit,
they are not compliance with the
statute providing that mo warrant
shall issue unless security for costs
shall have been filed with said JUS
tice," and the Ionia county custom is
declared to be clear evasion of the
statutes.

MANY VOTES CAST
At the Grand Rapids Primary
Election.
WARD CONTESTS WERE WARM
Democrats Only offered Two Contest
ants for-citylAttorney and Police
Clerk, While Republicans Had Many
Many Prominent Men Present.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 49,
The city primary election was held
yesterday, and an exceptionally large
vote was polled. The democratic tick
ct offered only contests for city attor-
pey and clerk of the police court, and
their vote was light, but the republi.
cans had from two to four candidates
for every Office on the ticket, and the
vote in some precincts represented
nearly the whole party strength, with
suspicious in some wards that demo-
Gratis had called for republican tickets
instead Of their own with view to
helping the republicans to decide who
they wanted for candidates.
On the democratic ticket the candi-
dates at the charter election, will be
as follows: For judge police court,
Emanuel j. Doyle; mayor, George K.
Perry; clerk of superior court, George
d. Bostock. All these were without
contest, the city attorneyship being be-
tween w. w. Taylor and Huge e. Will
son, and the clerkship Of police court
between Theo. j. Hake and Frederick
loren.
The republicans had two candidates
each for judge of police court, city at
torney and clerk of the superior court;
three for mayor and four for clerk of
police court. For mayor the contest
lies between Arthur r. Rood and John
Rowson, with John p. .Creque as a
third candidate. Early indications
point to Roods nomination.
In several of the wards the contests
for aldermanic nominations were
warm. The second ward had five re-
publican candidates, while the demo-
Gratis had none, while in the fifth the
democrats and republicans each had
three.
President Fenton of the State
League of Republican clubs; Homer
Warren, Lincoln Avery, John Patton,
Charles E. Townsend and others Of
the state league were here to witness
the operations of the law and all ex-
pressed the opinion that the system
was all right, although in need Of
some amendments.
Representative were also here from
Grand Haven, Muskegon and other
cities. They made the rounds of sew
eral of the voting precincts during the
voting hours.
About a dozen county clerks were
also here holding a session and observ.
Ing the primaries. At the meeting,
business matters were discussed, b..
state politics was passed by. The
county clerks have come to the con-
clusion, it is stated, not to mix in the
gub6rnatorial contest for fear it will
react on their own denominations.

Michigan's Proposition

From the, <alamazoo Telegraph.
The ardent advocates of reciprocity
with Cuba must not be surprised at the
radical and firm position taken by
Michigan in the matter of the duty on
Cuban sugar coming to this country
Already there are nearly ten million
dollars invested in Michigan beet sugar
factories; and more millions will be in
vested if the capital is given chance.
1t is nonsense to say that all of these
factories have declared enormous divi-
dends. Many of them failed to make
any substantial profit until last winter.
The expectation was that the state was
to pay the producers of sugar bounty
This law>was declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court, and the Michigan
beet sugar factories were then compelled
to rely upon the federal tariff Now it
appears that this encouragement is to
be removed. Dispatches from Washing
ton indicate quite clearly that the
administration is determined to carry
out its policy of reciprocity, not so
much for the benefit of suffering Cuba,
as to give some American manufactures
a little larger field in Cuba.
Michigan is naturally at the front in
this controversy. Representative Ford
ney, one of the members of the con-
ference committee, has hit upon plan
that Cat first thought appears to possess
much virtue. He proposes 20 per
cent reduction in duty on all goods
going. to Cuba from the United States.
He further proposes the payment of a
bounty to the Cuban government equal
to the 20 per cent reduction on all goods
coming from Cuba into the United
States This makes the reciprocity
apply to all Cuban products not simply
sugar 1t is argued that this will give
the Cubans the assistance asked for; and
at the same time the growing sugar
industry of the country will not be
injured.

Nichols Also In 1t.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 49,
Friends of Senator George Nichols of
Ionia, who are pushing his candidacy
for return to the state senate, will
be especially interested in the state
ment Of the prosecuting attorney here
that warrant be issued soon for the
arrest of Nichols on a charge of brib-
cry in connection with the Salisbury
case. The prosecutor is now prepar-
ing for the trial OF the McGarry case
on March 80, and it is expected re-
spondent Will be here and ready for
trial then, his attorneys having given
the assurance. The prosecutor says
the case against Nichols will be start
ed in the meantime. He now has a
case for contempt OF court standing
against him, but the prosecutor will
bring the more serious charge before
taking the other one up.

Making Money In Prison.

A remarkable example of cunning has
been unearthed in one of our large
prisons. A convict had perfected a die
and was making silver dollars, and dis
tributing them through accomplices on
the outside. Naturally the officials
were very much surprised at the discov-
cry, but no more so than the person who
receives a counterfeit article in place of
the genuine. 1t is therefore very inn
portant when you ask for Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters to see that their Pri-
vate Stamp over the neck is unbroken,
if you value your health. For fifty
years the Bitters has been recognized as
the best health maker in existence, and
if you are sufferer from indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, fatulency or
nervousness, it is because you have
never tried it, Try it at once.
