Hon. Ii. Il. Heckert For Delegate to Con
stitutional Convention.


stitutional Convention.
The convention for the pur-
pose of making a general revls-
ion of the constitution of the
State of Michigan will convene
in Lansing on the fourth Tues
day in October. The convention
will be made up of 90 delegates
chosen by the people of the state
three from each senatorial dis
trict, on the third Tuesday in
September.
1t is practically conceded that
Van Buren, county will be award
ed two delegates and Allegan the
other. These three delegates
will be nominated in the usual
way by convention duly called
for the eighth senatorial district,
which, under the provisions of
statute. must be held on the Sec
ond Tuesday in August.
This convention will be the
most important in the history of
the state. Probably never again
during the life of the present
generation at least, will the peo-
pie of the State of Michigan be
called upon to select delegates to
a convention in which the people
of the whole state and their sue
cessors for years to come, are so
vitality interested,
For this reason it is important
that care be taken to select men
as delegates to this convention,
who are qualified to cope with
the difficult problems which will
arise.
Paw Paw has candidate for
this important duty who fills all
the requirements. He has been
resident of Van Buren, county
for many years and is we'll known
throughout the entire state. He
is one Of the best read attorneys
in southern Michigan and is a
man whose integrity and honor
has never been questioned.
He has held many positions of
public trust and h file d
them all with honor to himself
and credit to his constituency.
Hon. B. f. Heckert does not
seek this honorable position, but
he has been urged by his many
friends to become a candidate,
and he has consented to accept
the office, should it be the de-
sire of the citizens of the county.
The people of Van Buren,
county want him as one Of the
delegates to the constitutional
convention.
Should he be sent there, in
company with some other dele
gate whom the people Of the
county shall name, we will know
when the convention is over that
Van Buren, has been ably repre-
scented in that august assemblage.
1t is desirable and equitable
that the delegates to this conven
ton should be selected from diff
ferent sections of the county.
Judge Heckert is the choice OF
the republicans of the east and
southern parts of the county, and
there will be no opposition tc
his candidacy.
If the western and northern
sections of the county could unite
upon a candidate, the choice o.
both delegates would undoubted
ly be satisfactory to the entire
county.

turning to the Treasury about
$,5, 100000 of such balance is
robbing Peter to pay Paul, for
it will take it out of the Nation
al Banks, which are govern
ment reserve repositories in
the different large cities of the
country either to pour it into
the Wall Street maelstrom or
to deposit it with other favored
banks who are in a tight place.
The fact is, the Treasury is
bankrupt, to all intents and
purposes; and existing condi-
tions are similar to those under
which President Cleveland was
obliged to issue bonds in 1894.
The Republican party has had
no question to contend with of
the double standard. The high
tariff taxation has resulted in
a large surplus in the Treasury,
instead of a deficiency, which
President Cleveland had to
contend with under the McKin-
ley tariff law, and in con-
sequence of the Supreme Court
declaring the income tax eec-
tion of the Wilson tariff law un-
constitutional. The Republi-
can leaders have deliberately
turned over to the favored
banks not only the surplus, but
over seven millions more from
some source. This panic has
discouraged even the most
optimistic Republicans. as they
feel that no Republican named
as likely to be nominated can
be elected, for all are com.
mitted to the same financial
and tariff policy that has
created the panic.

T'ARRAR HEARD FROM.

Washington, Oct. 31-Robert
H. Farrar of Wahpeton, N. d.,
clerk to the senate committee
On pensions, is preparing to
spring a new suggestion OH the
said United States senate. He
believes that body wastes a
whole lot of time in the aggre-
gate in session of congress
in passing individual pension
bills. He believes that much
time can be saved by passing
an omnibus bill. containing all
the bills introduced by the in
dividual senators and acted up
on by t h committee during
each week of the session.
II believe that I have a good
idea," 8 al ID Farrar. "It will
save not only time, but money.
1t takes the senate an hour or
two each week to pass the pen
sion bills OH h calendar.
Under my plan all these bills
could be disposed of in less
than half an hour in one meas
ure.
Congress is now bending it's
efforts to save money on it's
printing bills, a n d my plan
will help in that direction too.
Under t h present system a
number of prints are made IF
each pension bill. The aggre-
gate is somewhere in the neigh
borhood of a million copies in
a session. IF the omnibus idea
is adopted by the senate, the
number of bills to be printed
will amount to about 5000. OF
course, the senators will intro
duce pension bills as now, and
they will be printed under the
present system and referred to
t b e committee, on pensions
After that, however, all t Ii e
bills acted upon favorable by

1t is related that upon one occa-

Of Westport, when by the collapsing
of a grave the coffin and several per-

The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo-
ment one of the pallbearers acct
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin
quickly descended into the grave, the
body going feet first. The assistant
fastened its descent by tumbling on

edge of the grave, causing the soil to
yield, and in a few seconds five per-
sons were lying In the pit half covered

They were pulled out, the coffin was

grave had been redug the burial was
