Michigan now has an able-bodied
sensation. The legislature appointed
a committee to investigate the mutual
, < insurance companies, and it reports
that nearly all the assessment compa
nies were rotten to the coro, and that
an appalling system of grave yard in
soranoe has long been practiced by
soma of the prominent men of the
State. : Doctors have made a practioe
of insuring their patients and poor-
masters of insuring aged paupers, the
insured often being unaware of the
;; :i; transaction. At death the sharper
would coolly pocket the cash paid on
the policy.

The meeting which is called for, 11

no small import; it is the first
demonstration in behalf of one side
of the great issue whioh comes before
the people of the State on August
4th. The readers of the Register
know that this paper is "anti," and of

BEAGAK DISGRUNTLED-
Wby should Senator Reagan guuw
a file, so to say, because the inter Btate
commerce bill does not work so
smoothly and promptly as he hoped
for ? The Gazette fears that Senator
Reagan, for a man of his ago and
sxperience, is not as patient or as
reasonable as he might be. It is easy
to conceive how interested the senator
is in the practical and helpful opora
tions of a measure which is the result
of the dozen years of his post bellum
congressional life. It is his bill and
his pet, and be has a right to enjoy
the largest portion of the credit for
its onactment. But judging from his
letter published recently in the
Abilene Reporter, the senator is
disgruntled bccause, in spite of bis
aspirations, the bill seems to act some-
what as an irritant, calling forth a
great deal oi criticism (not all favor
aole) from presa and public. And
why Bhould the senator indulge in a
fling at the newspaper prosa of the
country and accuse the newspapers
of being bought or hired by
the railroads to help make the* inter
state, commerce bill ridiculous and
odious with the public ? A little calm
reflection ought to convince him tbat
no reputable journal could afford to
lend its aid to such a policy. He
ought to remember, too, that in the
long, weary years when he was ham
mering away at his pet measure, forg
ing it into shape, the reputable press
of the country, with hardly an ex
ception, helped him and made sue
cess posiblo for him by educating tbo
publio mind to a proper appreciation
of the relations subsisting between
the general government and the
railway—the right and duty of the
government to regulate the opora
tions of the common carriors and the
inter-state commercei On divers and
sundry accounts the reputable papers
in this country (and a disreputable
one is á rare oxception) are
perhaps as much interested as
Senator Reagan in ao intelligent
construction and fair test
of the law; and the Senator can rest
assured tbat tbo newspapers will soo
to it that such a construction and'tcst
are had before the law is assumed to
be a failure. Judge Reagan should be
patient and reasonable. Qreat re
forms move slowly and his bill was a
very radical reform. If there is any
thiog good about it (and the Gazette
believes there is) time will demonstrate
the fact. But we beseech the senator
to moderate his judgment, both as to
the railroads and the press. He will
have to find out that both, which are
no better than they Should be, and yet
no worse than other agencies and
institutions of the times, and that
both have an active interest in pro
moting any policies or measures cal-
culated to benefit the people. In Bhort
let us try the inter-state law. It was
taken on trust, and Senator Reagan
ought to know that Americans are
practical and want to tost any and
everything before believing all7 the
good tUt is claimed for it.—Gazette.

THE LOST HEIRLOOM. *
A Story that Goo to Prove tbs Futil-
ity of CIreuuat*nU«l Brídenos.
A singular story comes froru an up*
towu flat going to prove tho futility ol
cironmatantial evidence. A well-known
gentleman ha* apartment* hi a deair-
able locality. He has means diffident
to gratify laxuriooa tastos and Jog along
life'* road comfortably. Ilia domestic
hab't Is to partially tlreaa lu the morn-
ing and open the windows of bis sleep-
ing rooms for ventilation, while he
' is Mocha and rea<)« h s paper Id
anonfer apartment Meanwhile tin-
attendant comes and "míticas up" hi*
dressing room for the day.
One in whom lit h|iif the greatest
Snitdence reoontly left his servioe to
tteF |>er condition. Her departure
was so sudden that iq tlig pmergenoy
tbe vacancy was filled without ordinary
consideration as to the appiio:int'«
qualifications or recommendations. Un-
fortunately her personal uppearanoe
was r)4t calculated to impress her em-
ployer favcirsb'y, and b« InsUuotifaly
distrusted ber fro u tbs day she oame.
However, he diacovurod nothiug to
lila auspicious that she was un-
truthful or dishonest.
The other morning he rece'ved a
most violent shock, which for a brief
period threatened grief to the new
chambermaid. Wh lo the gentleman
was indulg ng in his early aiosta the
liotlght (lashed across his liiinil that he
...ad left a'dlamond ooliiu button lying
en his dressing-ease, and that the a nis-
ter-looking maid would be tempted to
appropriate it if in a peuulative mood.
Just then ho heard her entt-r tho bed-
room to do her morning's work.. His
first impose was to rush in and anatch
temptation from her v ew, but qu qpcgnd
thought he made up his aiiiid to put
her to the test. He aaid to himself:
If her evil genius prompts tho girl to

The gentleman waited a f«
lest she should vuturi), ftnd
as an beiiiooin,' It will
ber. Nobody else can
but her, if it is mtsslng, at
fca no trouble recovering tho property
and provino her the thief by circum-
stantial fividence." Tho maid teemed
unusually slow in waking up the room,
and the time dragged bnariljr rr lief

ding, and in duo course the girl tin-

No. but the sight that met tho own-
er's gaze brought him to a sudden halt.
As be reaohud the threshold a frighten-
ed monkey «V pned ninjhly pff th^
dressing-case with the collar- button,
and sprang to the window-s II, evident-
ly tho wav by which the little grlmao
ing thief had entered. lie gave oni
glance lit tho human occupant of tin
room, and disappeared down tho aidi
of the building in tho manner and wW
tho speed peculiar to h s kind. 'J'li<
gentleman pursued as far as ho couli1
go, and called vainly to the tuonker t(
come back with the priceless button
The sparkling diamond apparently hat
a fascination for the four legged thief
and. like a shmvvd robber, it caught hit
eye wh ;n lie climbed into fhe room
and he grabbed it without looking io'
otlur treasures on tho prem so«.
it turned out afterward that the mon
key was a pet of one of the neighbors
It was caught after u log chase, bu
tho collar-button bas not beoii fount
yet. There is a suspicion tinit Hi*
thief swallowed it, or put it in pawn tu
aneaks are givon lo doing when thej
want to get rid of their boodle. No
even t)jo pawn ticket can be found, am'
the monkey stands a good chanco o
being kidnaped aud c||t wide open
The gentleman who mourns tho loss o
his heirloom has more faith in human
nature now than ho had before th s ex-
perience, and often says ho wishes the
sinster-looking chambermaid had taken
the diamond wiion she had lliu chance.
