out further difficulty Kodaks and Supplies of all kinds MAY BE A CASE MURDER Some very queer shifting appears to be going on in state politics in line with the recent announcement that certain of the McMillan machinists have been working to have Justus Stearns of Grand Rapids recognized as the machine candidate for gover nor It looks as if arrangements were being made not only to bring about a combination between Million aire Stearns as representing the western side of the state and McMillan as representing the eastern side but also to get into line for Stearns the present set of State of cers holding their jobs under Gov Bliss When Stearns was in Detroit for a while last Wednesday evening he saia he had come here on private bus iness but on his way to this city he met Insurance Commissioner Barry at Lansing and the two trav eled together to this city sitting on the rear platform of the parlor car much of the way The same evening Mr Stearns went to Saginaw Barry is considered one of the cleverest pol iticians on Gov staff A dispatch from Grand Rapids says that McMillan has for some time been expected in that city to meet William Alden Smith and Stearns the idea being that McMillan will be less strenuous in his opposi tion to William Alden Smith as a pos sible candidate for the United States senate It is also said that there is a deal in the air to depose Collector Sam Lemon as the head of the Mc Millan faction in the western part of the state Conditions AVouId Be Reversed Should Stearns secure the backing of the Bliss officeholders it would re sult in an entire reversal of the con ditions of two years and four years ago when Stearns was the avowed op ponent of the crowd which now seems ready to flock io his standard Stearns however will have plenty of competitors George Horton master of the state grange who ran two years ago just as a feeler is said to be preparing for a more active cam paign next year and it is said that he will have much support from the farmers especially In the lower part oi me state rea vi vvarner for a time was considered the OUELLETTE IS IN A BAD WAY at Lome and hav'e commissions to execire for them in the way of British

expect ed his support but there is quite a number of machine men who will re fuse to be led awav from the secre tary of state and in this county es pecially he has many strong friends Gerritt Diekema of Holland chair man of the Republican state central committee is also said to the fight McMillan Men May A peculiar feature of the that some of the men who have been McMillan men in the past now talk as if they would desert One man who holds an office under Gov Bliss said yesterday: "What following can 'McMillan com mand? He has no offices to give out and some of those who got positions through his father are losing them The rank Andrews and Moreland developments in Detroit have hurt him and with the removal of More land a large section of his machine was lost urthermore a' lot of Re publicans out in the state have be come convinced that McMillan has been friendly to Mayor Maybury it being known that his machine here supported Maybury in the last city election or a would be Republican leader to help fill the city hall of the state metropolis with Democrats' cer tainly does not strengthen him with the Republican workers either in De troit or in the state It really make a great deal of difference wheth er McMillan is with Stearns or Altogether it looks as if the lines for the campaign of next year

people and we should be disposed to be just in our criticisms of them by admitting and giving them due credit for all the good that they I do in behalf of our race In Atlanta and al! through the south negro car penters and contractors may be seen working on the houses and that is something that I have not seen up here There are many southern peo ple who want the negro educated and made a good citizen In fact if we could stop the prattle about negroes wanting social equality because per cnaree prefer president a negro officeholder to a public recep th'e ing get her forever without havin at

civil rights on the separate plan from earth to heaven provided the white man in the south who calls for separation will stick to the rnie he makes But in New Orleans for in stance They call for equal and separateaccommodations and in a street car of ten seats they give a negro two of them I can also truthfully say that when white men cannot be seen smoking in the ne groes' section it is an exception to 'the rule and w'hen a conductor is found who will pr tect a negro in his right to resist such an imjtosltion as smoking and cursing in the cars where colored women are rid ing that is also the exception to the rule Give the negro all that belongs to him in a civil wav and ail he asks to th lynching that has become so cemmon the question is a national one both north and south having to deal with it Two wrongs cannot make a right We cannot stop crime by another crime as all sensible people know The educated negro reads with horror of the crimes of his race an with greater horror of the sub sequent crime of lynching by the whites and wo are on safe patriotic ground when we say let the law take care of the crim inal As for remedy the only one I can see education It is slow but sure and there no other safe settlement ill feeling in the south is not among the host whites the ronl south Such men as Senator Tillman who recently spoke in your city do not represent the south Theue is a itss of white people in the south in direct competition with the negro and the latter is very 'often in the load nnd the white doesn't like it The negro as made more rapid strides towards civil ization and 'hri tianity than any other race diwation is the only true solution to the At Harrow yesterday the' jury returned a verdict that Edmund Matthews had come to his death by a wound

and Thursday night he his wife 'was complaining oi pains in the stomach he gave her several small strychnine tablets which he kept on hand for his cus tomers who wanted to sober 'up The woman became unconscious soon af ter she took the pills and remained so until yesterday morning when she died although Dr Hamilton who had been called worked over until midnight The story was accept ed as the truth until some of the neighbors yesterday suggested an in vestigation Justice Haley and Dr Hamilton accompanied 'by Officer Ames of Delray worked on the case all day and made a report to Prose cutor Hunt They found though that complaint had already been made and that the arrest had been ordered The saloonkeeper was taken to the county jail without being ex amined by Mr Hunt The first thing discovered that aroused suspicions was the alleged ad mission by Millenkawsicz that the wo man he has been living with was not his wife but that he has a wife in Germany The woman with whom he had been living and who had passed as his wife was raised in the vicinity of Detroit but her maiden name is unknown to the Woodmere officials Millenkawsicz is alleged: to have claimed that they were
