Frank X. WEIGH, former county clerk,
and now editor of the Corunna Journal,
recalls little history relating to the
financial affairs of the county, which is
of interest at present. He says:
"It appears to us that some of our
citizens are altogether too hard on the
many supervisors who, in emergencies
have voted to raise more than the stat
utory $1,000 without vote of this peo-
pie. There are cases where to closely
observe this would prove loss to the
county We we'll remember that at the
first meeting of the board of supervis.
ors at which we otticiated as clerk this
same question came up. 1t was the
January session of 1881 when the mat
ter of buying the Holman Abstracts Of
Shiawassee Roll E. Kelsey had pur-
chased rthem and offered them to the
county for $4,000. The matter was re-
ferred to special committee who rec
ommeuded that the county purchase
them. Every supervisor voted for it ex-
cept John J. Patched who thought the
county ought to own them but on &C
count of the law could not see his way
clear TO do so. Among those good and
wise men who did vote for 1t was Nor
man X. Potter, of Burns, and Elihu w.
Mason, of Owosso township, and while
they technically violated the law. it did
no harm to any one but was distinct
benefit to the county Even at that
time the abstracts were we'll worth &c.
600 and after over 20 years they are at
least worth $4,000. Aud further it
has cost the county nothing to have
them brought up to date and these men
are bonofed for their keen business
foresight. We bring up these two
names for their prominence in recent |
events and not as anything against |
their. good names. In fact they are to |
be- praised for their good work. Even |
Gov. Rich succeed cd in raising 81, 000,-
300 when the law said he. could not |
raise but $4,000. But the emergency
Of . bankrupt treasury demanded this
heroic action in order to care for the
state institutions. Instead of being
the debt was cared for by the
state legislature and the governor was
commended for his prompt and wise
action. Let us quit knocking and work
for tho interest of the people of Shia-
wassoe county"

Washington's Easter Festival.

Washington maintains one institution
that Is peculiarly unique. It's annual egg
festival on the grounds of the White House
is strictly a local custom, and save to the
extent that Ii has been initiated here and
there in remote parts of the country it is
exclusive. The children have been rolling
eggs down the little hills in the Presidents
back yard for nearly thirty years Before
that they rolled their gaily decorated Eas-
ter trophies down the terraces of the Capt.
toll grounds. and some slopes in other parts
of the city were utilized by neighborhood
groups of little folks. The real origin and
the true significance of the custom remain
virtually a mystery. Egg rolling has pre-
vailed in Washington practically beyond
the memory of men now living. 1t is be-
Heved TO be a development from mean
ingless game. In the old days of Capitol
Hill egg rolling the youngsters engaged in
contests. Sometimes they would compete
for the credit of getting their eggs down
first. The eggs were often the stakes
Again the little folks rolled down after
the eggs and there We're crude rules gov
erning the games. This custom naturally
played havoc with the terraces and 1t was
without regrets that the previously good
natured custodians of the Capitol grounds
seized the opportunity afforded by the new
work of building the marble terrace walls
TO put an end 10 the Misunderstanding rompS
of the children. 1t was then that the White
House grounds Were opened to the youth
of Washington. But in latter days the egg
rolling games have been less in evidence
and the egg festival has been chiefly an
occasion for the children to assemble and
play games of all sorts and listen to the
band and eat luncheons. In other words.
the traditional Easter pleasuring of the lit
tie ones mas become general picnic. Much
curiosity remains as to the obscure origin
OF the egg customs of Washington. but in
yestigatUrs do not appear to get beyond
the Capitol terraces to ascertain the
esoteriC meaning OF the institution.

Topsy-Turvy Prophecies.

What happened at the weather bureau
last week? Something slipped in the big
prophecy machine. Did a mischief-maker
get busy with the gears and switch them
and reverse the wheels that grind out the
forecasts? Really. the big chief Of the air
sniffers and the rain-gaugers ought to con-
duct rigid inquiry into this matter, for
as it stands the record of the bureau for
the past few days is an impenetrable mys-
terry.
After procIaiming rains for several days,
despite the persistence with which the skies
smiled and the sun gave Washington a
striking imitation of summer, the bureau
folks faced their duty on Easter eve with
determination to make good. So the an
nouncement went forth in special terms
Saturday that tomorrow will be bright,
but cooler" There was no qualification.
The people of Washington were promised
fine Easter Sunday with all the solemnity
of which the scientists on NJ street are
capable
Well, half of the forecast came true Yes
terday was cooler, but no stretch or the
Imagination could compass the task OF con-
ceiving it as fine. The switched gears IN
the big machine had ground out prophecy
of the same quality of upside-downness as
those that had preceded it for days. VI
course if this sort of thing is to continue
the public will quickly adjust to the condi-
lions, and by reading the forecasts back
ward get in line with the probabilities.

and all by means very far short of govern
ment ownership. Observe Mr.. Harriman's
attitude now, and recall his attitude of
only few months ago. Then he was
cocky to the point of defiance. Whose bust
ness was 1t what he did with his own prop
erty? He was as sententious as Tweed Today
he Is as full of explanation as egg of
meat. He interviews for publication as
easily and quite voluminousiy old
politician. and tells the country that he
wants to do the square thing by the people.
He holds himself in readiness to run down
to Washington at any time the President
may wish to see him. Really. the man. on
the face of things, shows a disposition to
be good.
We are not, then, reduced to the necessity
OF buying and operating the railroads in
order to end Harrimanism. We have pulled
that up with only the little rope Congress
last year voted. If more rope is necessary
to complete government regulation 1t may
easily be obtained from the same source,
and will be-
But Mr.. Bryan's position. as taken at the
Madison Square Garden meeting, was, and
still is, that government ownership and oper
alton Of railroads constitute the only ade
duate remedy for our railroad question. He
regards the present law as a makeshift, and
expects 1t to break down. He believes that
ultimately we shall come to government
ownership. and while in view of the oppo-
sition In his party to his policy he hesitates
to commit himself as to time, it is evident
that he is expecting the result in the near
future. Certain 1t is that if elected Presi-
dent next year he will use all the power of
that powerful office toward hurrying gov
ernment ownership to contamination.

The Philadelphia "Gang" Again.

The Philadelphia republican organtza-
ton won out at the polls at the last cleo
ton and verybody familiar in any degree
with the past methods Of the machine felt
confident that the new administration would
be true to type. The mayor-elect, though,
proclaimed at the time of his nomination
as a man above reproach. had been selected
by the organization with care for his ap-
probation of the value OF remaining In
touch with the powers that command the
big majorlties. Yesterday, on the eve of
assuming office, he gave convincing evil
dence OF his fidelity to the trust thus re-
posed in him by his political sponsors. He
announced the selection of the four drec-
tors of departments who constitute the
mayors cabinet and their names imme-
diately impressed the community as suf-
ficient proof that the affairs of Philadelphia
are to be run during the next mayoralty
term upon the old-time basis of rewards
for the faithful. All four Of these men
have been for years identified with the
machine that was temporarily crippled by
the detection of Mayor Weaver. They will
control the police, the public works. the
public health and the distribution Of sup
plies. No more need be said as to the prob
able effect of their selection
Thus does Philadelphia lapse quickly into
the ways of the past. The pickings there
are considerable and the incentive to the
CRATER to hold fast to his power while he
possesses it or to regain it when 1t has
been wrested from him is so strong that to
combat him the reformers must be spurred
on to extraordinary efforts and to excep-
tional persistence. Permanent reform in
existing political circumstances means per-
manent devotion by the average citizen To
