The Beef Inspection Bill Was Killed In

the Michigan senate, last Thursday, by the decisivo vote of 19 to 10. Our own Senator Gorman bravely dodged voting. It is a satisfaction that the bill was crushed after an able debate. The dangerous character of the proposed legislation was clearly shown. The advocates of the mea8ure hardly tried to keep up the "public health" farce about it, but boldly advocated the bill because it would take money from the pockets of one class of people and pnt it into the pockets of another. It was eaid that the farmers demanded the inspection, and the feare of the politician were played npon. But the day is past, we hope, when euch low considerations can be uccessfully nsed. The farmers should have their wishes complied with only when they are just.
