Although the kg "islaturc has been In session nearly four months, there has been no hint of corruption until now, when a charge has been made by a member that he hai been offered a bribe of $23 to secure his aid in passing a bill which is now before the public health committee. The member has made an ailidavit to this effect, and steps will be taken at once to investigate the matter. In his aflidavit he allirms that he was approached by a lobbyist, whose name is withheld from the public, and was offered the sum named above if he would promise to support and vote for the bill in lie refused to consider the proposition and proceeded at once to inform the public health committee of the fact. It is said that hen the name of the alleged bribe giver is made known it will cause a sensation. The house agreed to the bill prescribing a severe penalty for the sale of cigarettes to persons under 21 years of tige, or of tobacco in any form to persons less than 17 years of age, and also providing for the punishment of persons of these classes who purchase the prohibited articles.

The long light over bills permitting townships on the east shore to grant franchises for a railroad and permitting suburban electric lines to transport farm produce and other light freight ended Thursday with the pas-agc of all the bills, which have been Jieid up in the senate for the past week, all having already passed the house. The bills were amended so as to give the railroad commissioner supervision over these roads, but the proposition to substitute specific for local taxation was abandoned. A movement on the part of surety companies to engage at wholesale in the business of furnishing bonds for liquor -dealers who will be required to furnish new bonds May 1 was nipped in the bud by the passage by both houses of a bill rendering such bonds illegal for this purpose. If a bill which the h6usc agreed to Triday becomes a law the practice of paying employes in store orders, check which has obtained to a great extent, will cease in Michigan. The bill makes it unlawful to pay employes in this manner unless they so request.

The house received a remonstrance -extensively signed by railroad employes against the passage of the bill providing a Hat two-cent railroad fare. The -petitioners said that the passage of the h'i would mean reduced wages for them. The house has been considering appropriation bills for several days, and action thus far taken indicates that all bills appropriating money for whatever purpose will be cut to the quick. The indications are now that before the legislature adjourns it will have made arrangements to furnish the cap-itol, also all the state institutions ia Lansing, with heat, light and power without patronizing the city or any private corporation. Early in the ses-ion bills were introduced for appropriations for the construction of electric light plants at the various institutions and the capitol.

Now there is talk of one large plant. In the future the house will have a session every morning, commencing at ten o'clock, instead of two o'clock in the afternoon. There will also be a session in the afternoon, and committee meetings must be held during the evening. This' was a necessary move, if the members expect to get half through before time comes to adjourn. The house liquor traflic committee has reported a bill providing a stamp tax of 04 cents upon barrels of beer, cents upon half barrels, 10 cents upon quarters and 8 cents upon eighths, 1 cent upon quarts and one-half cent upon pints of ale or porter manufactured or sold in the state.

It is estimated that the bill will yield an additional revenue in excess of $1,000,000. The Iluskirk bill has been finally agreed to by the committee and reported out. It provides that the local option feature shall be submitted at every state election when petitioned by 3 per cent, of the electors. This is the only liquor measure that has received any consideration during the session, and the amendment to compel petitions is considered as a victory by the saloon men. The house passed several appropriation bills Thursday.

The state soldiers Lome was given the home for the feeble-minded nt Lapeer, $70,788. The bill appropriating $3,000 for a park at Mackinaw Uland was killed.

The amount was allowed with but little discussion. There was no appropriation for this purpose two years ago.

Tor the state industrial school for girls there was allowed which in $3,231.40 less than two years ago. Gov. Pingree has signed the osteopathy bill and it is now a law.

CYCLONE AT OMER. II ii tld Intra Demolished and Severnl I'friont Injured.

Saginaw, April 25. A special to the Courier-Herald from Omer, Aranac county, says that a cyclone struck that town at 5:30 Saturday evening, completely demolishing the geneml store of W. K. Clouston, whose residence was also torn down and his shingle mill wrecked. Mr.

The present in dications are that there ill be a larger crop of all kinds of fruit in this section of country than last season, which was the largest crop of fruit ever gathered in the fruit belt. It was reported that the entire crop of peaches was killed last winter, but many farmers have ex amined their trees and find that two- thirds of the buds are alive and this is more than the trees can hold. Many farmers are glad that part of the crop was killed because last season many trees broke down with the weight of the crop and the farmers had to hire help to pick off the peaches when they were green and small. Another reason why the crop will be laiger than last year is because many acres of young orchards will bear for the first time. The lerry crop will, ac cording to present indications, be larger than last year, as many acres were de stroyed by the dry weather of last sea son.

Last season the pear crop was short in this locality, but this year the yield will be greater than any other year in the history of the fruit belt. DIRECTORS MUST SETTLE.

(Jnsoond Tremlaea of the Lovr Tariff I'rofeanor. For a man who Is not the author of the tariff law of 1804 Mr. Wilson is unnecessarily disturbed over the radical departure from his policy as embodied in the wool schedule of the Dingley bill.

It is true that Mr. Wilson generally enjoys the distinction of having constructed the worst tariff bill in the history of our government, but this is not entirely fair to Mr. Wilson, for no oue can predict with absolute and unerring certainly just what would have been the result If Mr. Wilson's tariff bill had been adopted as he framed it. Xo one can accurately calculate just how many years it would have taken to recover from the panic If Mr.

Wilson's bill had 'becomo a law without the 403 wmendments which the senate, under the- ndvico of Jones and Gorman, tacked onto it. Put as the author of a tariff bill which never became a law, Mr. Wilson's opinion of the Dingley bill is of course entitled to some attention, although it must be borne in mind that Mr. Wilson was never engaged in any productive industry and never sold a pound of wool in his life. In criticising the wool schedule of the Dingley bill Mr.

Wilson says that if it becomes a law it will "immediately increase the cost and degrade the quality of the woolen goods consumed. In support of this contention Mr. Wil-fcon exhibits the results of his fine mathematical training by doing some reckless juggling with figures. Mr. Wilson estimates that the Dingley schedule will add $2.50 to the cost of each inhabitant's clothing each year, or $180,000,000 in increased cost of clothing.

If Mr. Wilson's figures were borne out by facts, who would get this $180,000,000 increase in the cost of clothing? It is tho evident purpose of Mr. Wilson to make it appear that the wool growers and makers of the cloth would divide this sum between them. Nothing could be more absurdly fallacious. Men cannot wear the cloth as it comes from the loom.

If Mr. Wilson's contention were true, at least two-thirds of this increase would go to tailors and merchantr. Will any patriotic American grumble over the distribution of such a sum among the people who make men's clothing and women's dresses? But Mr. Wilson's premises are not sound. No honest student of the markets will contend that tho price of clothing was decreased 20 per cent under the Gorman, tariff.

If the price of clothing was not decreased 20 per cent, under tho Gorman law how can the restoration of the McKinley duties increase it 25 per cent, under the proposed Dingley measure? No man who is conscious of man's fallibility on economic questions will contend that the Dingley wool schedule i absolutely perfect. But it must always be borne in mind that this country cannot protect its wool growers without incurring some additional expense for woolen cloth. It lias been demonstrated, however, that the per capita increase is so slight and so inconsequential compared to the incalculable benefits that accrue to tho great wool-growing industry that lo genuine American will grumble at it for a moment. Chicago Times-Herald. THE FARMER'S RIGHTS.

Producer Should Have Ample Protect Ion. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, voiced a common sentiment iu the west when he said that the tariff bill must recognize agricultural, mining and lumber interests, as well as those of eastern manufacturers. He had observed a tendency, in respect of wool, coal, BUgar and other natural products, to yield every joint to the middleman, subtracting from the duties proposed by the producer at his demand for cheaper raw material. This policy would, ho said, bo fatal if adopted. It certainly ought to be.

As the chief sufferers from the Gorman-Wilson tariff, the farmers were the stanchest advocates in. the late cam paign of republican success. They carried New York, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and Oregon and all but a few of the remaining McKinley states. did no for their own relief under tho pledgeof tho St. Louis platform to make the new tariff equitablens between the producer and manufacturer.

To break faith with them now would be to do violence to principle and policy alike, and the net political result would bo damaging to every great interest in the country. No tariff bill, as Senator Warren rays, could pass, and the defeat of the measure, as we may add, would, under tho circumstances, load to a profound reaction against the republican party. Wool must bo protected as well as it was in the McKinley bill. The farm products in which there is Canadian competition should have ample safeguards, including, of course, the staple product of lumber. California, which went republican on the tariff issue, would be difficult to held within party limits if the rateon wines, raisin, nuts, sugar and citrus fruits should bo cut to suit the foreign market.

We arc well aware that Germany demands fre or next to free entrance for her sugar, but if she gets it what will Income of our own beet sugar industry a thing of far more imirtancc to this country than our German export trade? The beet and cane growers demand either protection or bounty for sugar. Is relief to be denied them because of the interests of Germany in the welfare of a sugar industry of her own, which she protects at the rate of 3.9 to 4.75 cents per pound Senator Warren is right. The farmer must have his fair share of protection. When it is question of turkey he is not to be put off with buzzard. San Francisco Chronicle.

apparently imjosslblc. It has managed to spilt itself again, and thua broken tlie precedents in another place. A party outof power is ordinarily forced into asemblanco of harmony with itself. Its function is to piwo tho majority, and this, when the majority is an active, aggressive organization, as th repub-lican is, keeps the minority so busy that it has neither the incentive nor tho opportunity to quarrel with itself. In general this has been the order of things with every great party from the begin ning of the government.

Hut the democracy is not hampered by examples or traditions, and while so far in the minority in the house of representatives that it is powerless to materially affect the course of legislation it has shattered itself on the question of the sort of opposition it will offer to tho dominant republican party. One faction wants to coincide in the republican programme of doing nothing further in the house in the way of practical legislation until the senate passes the tariff bill, while the other clement would fight this programme, and try to force tho republicans in the hous to go ahead with the business of legislation just tho same ns if this were a regular session. The first-named faction is under the direction so far as any segment of the democracy can be, said to be under the direction of anybody or anything of Bailey, of Texas, while the more prominent spirits in the other section are Bland and McMillin. The latter faction has the abler men, but is the smaller in number. This absence of harmony which tho democracy reveals even hen in the minority calls attention to a Kerious constitutional defect in that organization.

That defect is lack of leadership. It is a defect which has clung to that party ever since the war days. Not for a third of a century has the democratic party In congress had a leader who was capable, and who, at the same time, had the confidence of the party. This accounts for the lack of discipline and cohesive-ness in that party, and its failure to accomplish anything when it has got into power. In this respect the democracy has been distinctively weaker than the republican party.

In tho ante-bellum days the brains of the democracy were furnished by the south, but since the war and the overthrow of the old order in that section the south lost its primacy in that party, and in a certain direction the party has suffered as a consequence. An alert, intelligent and resolute opposition party can always make its influence, felt in congress in many ways, but there will be no such opposition in the next two years. Seldom in the long and diversified history of the democratic party has thatorganization been feebler in leadership, spirit and influence than it. is at this moment. St.

Louis Globe-Democrat. NOT YET A LAW. The Dtngjey I1I1I ot Ilennoniitble for Hard Times. No tariff, however wisely planned, can be expected to regenerator business be-foTo it is put in force. In many quarters there is a tendency to blame the Dingley bill, and, incidentally, the whole republican part' because the good times and abundant cash of 1S92 have not come in with McKin-ley's inauguration.

The best plow turns no furrow till it is taken to the field. The new tariff cannot accomplish much until it gets to work. As it still has the senate to face, it does not even know what its pattern and capabilities may be after passing through that ordeal. If the Dingley bill, after six months of trial, cannot show substantial results in way of revived business activity and confidence, then it may fairly be blamed for disappointing the hopes of the nation. The mere expectation of a stiff protective tariff has already had a strengthening effect upon business.

On every side, under the influence of new hopes, trado and industries are slowly but surely advancing. Many mills and factories, closed under an administration of theorists, have resumed work. Thousands of operatives, long idle, are back at their forges and their looms. But anticipation of demand, though it may stir the wholesale trade, has lit-t effect upon the retailers. These de-pr ad upon the free cash in the pockets of the people.

And no very large increase in this direction can reasonably bo expected until the new tariff gets down to its daily work. Illustrated American. DRIFT OF OPINION.
