Ten Years of Dingley Tariff.

Last Wednesday was the tenth ami
versary Of the enactment of the Ding
ley tariff law And what a change
there Is In conditions!
Ten years is not long period in
the worlds history. The memories OF
most of us can easily span 1t. Tel
years ago our foreign trade was less
than $2,OOO,OOO, 900, now it is more
than $4,000, 100000 a year. Then the
government revenues were insult.
cient to cover the expenditures, while
now. with the expenditures greatly in
creased, we have a substantial surplus.
At that time business was depressed
and industry languished, while now
there is prosperity on every side. Ten
years ago freight cars were going to
decay on the sidings with no call for
their use, and now, with vastly in
creased equipment, 1t is the freight
that Is tied up because there are not
cars enough. The ten years under the
Dingley tariff have been such years of
activity and growth as neither this
country nor the world has aver known

To Change Trout Law.

Resenting the action of the legisla-
ture in amending the game and fish
laws so that the brook trout season
closes each year on August Is, upper
peninsula sportsmen have launched a
movement looking to concerted ap-
peal to Gov. Warner, asking his CO.
operation in an effort to have the
provision rescinded. With the sum-
mer period opening fully month
later than in the territory below the
straits, under the new law the best
part Of the trout season is lost to
north country anglers. From April
10 to the latter part of May slush ice
and surface water make fishing for
trout decidedly discouraging. With
the cutting off of Is days at the end
of the season, sportsmen in this part
of the country really have but about
45 days of fishing. With the closing
provision as it now stands, the novel
spectacle is presented of Michigan
anglers fishing from the Michigan
side into the Wisconsin waters of bor-
der streams, and doing so legally, it
is claimed. The trout season in the
Badger commonwealth, heretofore
ending August Is, has been extended
to September 1, the legislative action
at Madison being directly the reverse
of that at Lansing.

LAST OF STONE AGE MAN.
TasmanIan Aborlglnes Not Appreclat.
ed Until II Was Too Late.

The visitor to Tasmania can have
an experience that is novel-he can
call on the last of the native race OF
the land. She Is Trucaninni, and she
holds receptions In glass case In the
National museum.
There Is only the skeleton left, but
judging from that she was well-or-
ganized little body of about four feet
The Tasmanian aborigine was a
clean sort of person, moving every
day, so as not to have the dirt OF
ashes Of yesterday in his camp.
The mode was uncut hair for men,
shaver heads for women. Both wore
at times a necklace and also on occa'
sions tied a strip of fur around the
calves of their legs. They seemed
to get along very well with this, even
though the winters were cold.
Then came the white man with his
gun and his modesty. Between the
gun and the blanket and some other
clothes and the permanent shelter
there was only one left in the '7Os
and ELECTROMAGNETIC at about
the age of 70 years in 1876, and her
bones, well articulated and polished
stand in state to-day.
When this face had disappeared the
''paleozoic fellows" discovered that

Annual Methodist Conference.

Lansing will be the next meeting
place of the Michigan annual confer
ence of the Methodist Protestant
church. The sessions will be held
in the new building, which is now
we'll under way. 1t will be an edifice
of decided attractiveness-one of the
neatest and handsomest in the state.
The denomination is now reaching
out to the cities and its marked adj
vance in Lansing is one Of the first
results of the special endeavor. The
congregation is small but enthusiast
tic and self-sacrificing and the COM
pletion of the building and the en-
tertainment of the conference will be
important occasions. Rev. w. G.
Harger, just reelected president Of
the conference, lives here. In the ses-
sion at Gull lake the conference took
somewhat radical move, voting to bar
women from it's ministry. The vote
on the proposition to forbid the or
daining of women as ministers result
ed in decided endorsement Of the
dictum Of ST. Paul The policy of the
denomination at large has been liberal
toward women in public life. 1t was
the first of the orthodox denomina-
tons to ordain women and one Of its
earliest ordinations under the new rule
was that of DR.. Anna Shaw, the wo-
man suffragist leader and lecturer. w.
r. Kinsman is the lay delegate from
Lansing to the conference. The at
tendance is about 800 delegates
clerical and lay. Rev. G. E. Perry, a
former pastor Of the Main street
church, was candidate for president
this time.

Sees "Graftina" in Potatoes.

E. N. Ball Of Ann Arbor, secretary
Of the American Society of Equity, re-
ports about 200 acres of potatoes
pledged by the growers at so cents a
bushel at the time of digging. This
means about 100000 to 100000 BUSH
els. The bean growers are asking
$3.50 a bushel for beans. Ball insists
that the advance in price to the pro-
Queer will not mean an advance in
price to the consumer. Potatoes, last
year, in some localities, averaged the
farmers but Is or 20 cents a bushel,
but retailed at five times that. The So
ciety of Equity believes that some
where there is a profit that should be
eliminated and believes that through
it's distributing agencies some Of the
graft" can be done away with.

these Tasmanian aborigines were
probably the worlds only specimens
Of the people of the stone age.
But the discovery came too late.
The folk who had mixed up with
them were not of the caliber to give
the world very good, to say nothing
Of reliable, record of the inner char
acteristics of this extra primitive peo-
pie, or their traditional account Of
how they got marooned on this iso-
lated island.
Their principal record left is that
they did not worry-a fact from
which it may be reasoned that bald
heads and gray hairs were probably
not known in the days when slabs of
granite were legal tender.

Lansing.-If Gov. Warner carries
out his present intention to call the
legislature together October z, he
may find himself with the legislature
and a constitutional convention on his
hands at the same time. The consti-
tuition provides that members of the
legislature may draw pay for only 20
days of special session, but the legis-
lature may remain in session as long
as it phases without pay. The con-
stitutional convention is to meet Octo-
Der %, so that If the legislature meets
October it may remain in session
but Is days without conflicting with
the holding of the convention to revise
the constitution. What would happen
II the legislature did not conclude it's
work and refused to adjourn before
of speculation. ProbablT the conven-
ton would have to meet in another
hall. In that case, it is asked, how
would Paul King as clerk of the house,
or Z. V. Chilson as secretary OF the
senate, act as clerk Of the conven-
ton? Gov. Warmers reasons for wish
ing to call the legislature little later
than the time originally fixed is that
he wishes to accept the invitation of
the president to accompany him and
the governors of several states on a
trip down the Mississippi river from
st. Louis to Memphis. AS yet the gov
ernor adheres to his intention to bring
before the legislature only the primary
election question, and the appropria-
ton for the Mt. Pleasant Normal
school. If there is time he will sub
NIT the proposition of an anti-lobby
bill, and 1t is possible that another i'm
portant matter may be presented to
the legislature in a special message.
The governors appointments on the
new railway commission will neces-
sarily be submitted to the senate for
confirmation. The special session will
come just in time to give the members
Of the legislature the benefit Of the
two-cent fare law which goes into eff
feet September 2S.

a Happy Family.

A boy and a girl in Alabama whose
parents are named Ashmead have
gathered together happy family con-
sisting Of cat, rat, dog, a mouse
and a canary bird. The dog will brace
his feet and let the cat jump on his
back. Then the rat will climb on
her back. Then the mouse and the
canary will complete the pyramid.
Then all will grab each other by the
tail, the canary coming last, and
march around the room. They have
been taught to perform many other
tricks, and the young people are quite
proud of their circus.

Great Britain Also? OF Course.

The Philadelphia Record utterly
misconceives the situation when it
says that the American Protective
Tariff league is urging on shallow
grounds that Great Britain shall be
denied what has been conceded to
Germany" Nothing Of the sort;
quite the contrary. The American
Economist has uniformly contended'
that If we are going into the game
of playing tariff favorites Great
Britain should be granted equal
favors; in fact, should be granted
more because she is a, better customer
than Germany by two to one, and.
besides, she imposes no tariff at all
upon our products Saving a strictly
revenue tariff on spirits and tobacco),
whereas Germany has doubled her
tariff against our products. 1t may
be that our gifted state department
will find q way to let Great Britain
in on an equal footing with Germany,
and so avoid the shame and disgrace
of mistreating our best customer. 1t
is earnestly to be hoped that such
Great Britain but every other nation
on earth will be granted the equiva-
lent of the concessions granted tc
Germany The sooner the better, for
then the country will have a broad
comprehension of the policy and
clear understanding of the practical
effects of revising the tariff downward
by diplomatic dickering.

Senior Partner-We shall have to wind
up our cruise and get back to New York

Junior Partner-Why, what has hap
pened? No bad news, 1 hope.
Senior Partner-Bad enough, I should
think. Six of our biggest department
store customers write that hereafter they
will buy direct from the New York agents
of German manufacturers, instead Of buy
ing from us as heretofore. Consequently
we are out of 1t, and it will be necessary.

Chicory Crop Is Good.

In another month the packing and
shipping of chicory will begin at Port
Huron, where there is located the
largest chicory factory in the state. In
the fall the root crop commences to
aErive by train loads, and from then
tspring, and even later, from $50 to
ESQ men and girls are given steady
employment. If present signs do not
fail the present crop will be even bet
ter than year ago. While the
weather has been very unfavorable
for the other crops, the chicory plant
has been given careful nourishment
and 1t should be very plentiful at the
time it is ready for picking.

chance for the people Of this sec
ton to find out just how much OF
friend the company is to any in
terest Id the State The company
naturally thinks that all the agri--
cultural business will come to it
anyway and the mining business
is what it needs to make the line
pay. We will grant that the min
ing business is going to be great
in the district very soon; but a
railroad built to handle that trade
alone will never prove as profit
able as would one which ran
through the center of the valley
for its entire distance and created
an equal value on all of the rich
land that would lie on each side
of it. With a road hugging the
western foothills the land on the
eastern side of the valley would
not be enhanced a dollar an acre,
while with a central line one
mans land would be worth as
much as anothers.
All the talk about running
through a swamp by getting in
the center of the valley is all bosh.
Just as good a roadbed can be
made there as elsewhere; it might
cost a few dollars more to con-
struct, but not much either when
it is taken into consideration that
such line would be as level as a
floor and there would be practi-
cally no cuts, fills or curves to be
made.
We believe the people of this
valley and Yerington will do the
square thing with the railroad
company if the company will dc
the same with the people, regard
ing rights of way, depot sites, etc
1t is not yet known whether they
have asked for any of these things,
or not, but it might be good plan
for some of our citizens to get to-

About the Railroad

Engineer Grey and his crew of
Southern Pacific engineers started
a line from Wabuska this week
and have run to point consider
ably south of Yerington at this
writing. The line runs parallel
with the wagon road from Wa
buska to the Mcleod hill and
about quarter of mile east of
the wagon road. When the hill
is reached the line as now sur
veyed swings to the west and fol-
lows the foothills to the upper end
of the valley, or to- the pass be-
tween this valley and Smith Val
ley, through which the river. III ms.
Should this line of survey be
adopted it will cut Yerington of
from the main line of road.
We are no surveyor, nor the
son of surveyor, but we believe
that whatever line of road runs
through this valley could be made
to take in Yerington and the ex-
pense would be no greater to the
company building, while it would
give the company much more bus
mess and at the same time not be
detrimental to the town property.
1t is possible that the S. P. COM
pany in this case, as in many
others, is going into the cheap
business of townsite speculation.
The company has the reputation
of not caring a d-n who it hurts
or Injuries so long as it attains its
ends.
But will it attain it's ends by
