The TRIBUNE has several times noticed
the necessity of the continuation of the
road running west, on or near the line
between towns 81 and SO to the county
line. During the past week a petition
has been circulated, asking that the
Board of Supervisors take the road in
hand and make it a county road. The
petition has been signed by all the resi-
dents of the western part of the county,
and We trust will be signed by every cit
zen of the village who has the prosperi-
ty of the place at heart. 1t is the most
important road proposed in the county,
and will not only add to the present
business of the village, but will enhance
its growth. 1t will also do much to en-
courage settlement i'm the western part
Of the county. Not only should the road
be built for the benefit which would
arise to the county, but it is no more than
justice to those settlers who have gone
into that portion of the county that they
have some means of getting out. AS it
is now, they have to go from their homes
five or six miles down to the Riggs set
Il ment, and when they get there they
are farther from town than when they
started. Every interest of the village
and county demand that this road be
built, and we hope to see the Supervisors
take favorable action upon it.

The Entertainment Last Night.

In accordance with request made by
the citizens of the village, there occurred
at the Spencer House Hall last night a
repetition of some Of the best parts of the
two previous entertainments. To this
was added readings and recitations by
James j. Brown. The programme ar
ranged had the effect of drawing full
house. The entertainment i'm itself was
success, being equal. taken as a whole,
to either of the previous ones. The read
ings by Mr.. Brown were very enioya-
BILE addition to the programme, and were
received with sincere manifestations of
pleasure by the audience. A description
of the different portions of the pro-
gramme is unnecessary. as most of them
were noticed at the time of the previous
entertainments. There were, however,
enough changes to prevent it becoming
even to those who had wit
messed the previous ones. The price of
admission was placed at twenty-five
cents, so that the receipts were not equal
to those of either of the other evenings,
although there was full as many present.
They reached, however, the handsome
sum of $47, which will leave net gain
to the church, of somewhere between
s35 an@R4O after paying the expenses.
Considering the low price of admission,
this is an extremely gratifying result.

The work of making breakwaters at
the entrance of Burt lake to secure the
DC -nanency of the channel to be dredged
into the lake. is progressing in very
favorable manner. Owing to the heavy
washing at the piles driven two years
ago, caused by the high water. much
more labor than was anticipated was re-
quired to complete it in. the. man.
ner provided for. When completed it
will be very solid, substantial
piece of work, and one which will be
permanent. Everything will be ready
for the dredge as soon as it can get on
the ground. We can confidently expect
that free navigation will be secured into
Burt lake before the first of September.
Very few of our citizens have any idea
of the magnitude of this work, and the
only way that It can be obtained is to go
and see it, which all are invited to do.

w uVeto the Harbor Bill.

1t is annourc, I'll that the President will
veto the river and harbor appropriation
bill, no matter in what shape it passes.
Although there may be some foundation
for the rumor, we do not believe it as yet.
We can see no reason why such a course
should be taken. 1t is true that the bill
is not what the friends of commerce and
harbor improvements i'm either party de-
sire, nor is it what justice demands, still
it is better than nothing, and we do not
believe the President will veto the bill.
The tenor of kilograms received since
the above was written would indicate
that the President has serious intentions
of vetoing the bill. The kilograms say
that the President states that it is absurd
to pass bill to improve rivers
and harbOrs at this late day in
the summer. The first Of September
would arrive before the engineer corps
could use any part of the appropriation,
and very little conld be accomplished
this year. For this, and the reason that
many of the appropriations in the bill
are of local instead of national import
ance, the President said he had decided
to veto the bill when pre- ented to him
for signature.
The reasons given are not, in our opin-
ion, sufficient to justify such course.
1t is true that all the work contemplated
could not be done this season, but the
contracts could be let, and in many
places much work could be done; but
even if nothing more than letting the
contracts be accomplished, it would be
large advance upon the work, for it could
be commenced early in the coming sea-
SON and great deal be done before the
next session of Congress could pass bill
and get it in the hands of contractors.
We cannot but think it would be a bad
move to veto the blu

Complaint Of the Northern Transit
ROats.


The item published last week regard
ing an anonymous letter received COM
planning of the management of the
Northern Transit boats, had the effect
Of bringing us the writer's name, which
shows, at least, that he thinks he has just
cause for complaint. We do not require
the names of the writers of communica-
tons for publication, but simply as a
guarantee of good faith but, in this
case, as the writer says he has no obiec-
ton to his name appearing In full, We
give his letter as 1t was received. He
does not state distinctly the special cause
for complaint, but we should judge it
was in selling him ticket to Mackinaw
and then not stopping at that point. But
here is the letter, and our readers can
judge for themselves.
To the Edit of the Northern Tribune
MACKINAw, July %.
For the benefit of the travelling public
hereafter. it is we'll that all should be in
formed, as a matter of consequence, that

agement, being detriment and impOsi-
ton to the travelling public in general.
No reliance can be placed in the agents of
that line stationed at the foot of Third

for all ports named OH their bills, and fail
to connect, which nuisance can be avoid

is unsurpassed for comfort and regulari-

MEMORIAL SERVICES.


DR.. J. NJ Reid moved that the memorial
services be the order of the day, which was
adopted.
After the singing of hymn, and prayer
by Rev. J. VI. Trmble, Bishop James de-
Roberts. Referring to Bishop Morris, he
dwelt on his unspotted character, blame
less life and child like simplicity. Passing
to Bishop Roberts, he referred touchingly
to his mission to Liberia, and to the hearty
sympathy with which he entered into every
scheme for the moral and spiritual eleva-
ton of humanity.
Chaplain McCabe surg the hymn, Ny
latest sun is sinking fast" a favorite hymn
of Bishop Morris.
DR.. Dashiel then followed with an elo-
quent panegyric on the Rev. Thomas NJ.
Eddy, laying great stress upon his indomit-
able energy, popular power and the sound
ness and evangelical nature OF his preach
ing. He, the speaker, had been associated
with him in missionary labors. and could
bear testimony to the enthusiasm and zeal
with which he adjusted his soul to that
work. The great burden of his thoughts,
awake and dreaming, was the spread Of
the Gospel, his faith in its ultimate triumph
was unbounded, and even when dying, with
his armor buckled on, his last words were
"a prayer for the prosperity of the Church.
DR.. E. o. Haven followed with brief
outline Of the life of DR.. Lore, claiming
for him that he was a typical man, pre-
eminently industrious, and filled with all
the qualities that go to make up the sue.
cessful minister of the Gospel.
DR.. Cummings next delivered the Grafton
on Rev. Dr.. Cobleigh. As a man, min
lister and an editor, he was always ready to
engage in every good work, and when he
died there was no department in the Chris
tian community that did not feel his loss.
He inculcated precepts of virtue in private
and social life, exercised charity to all, and
showed his conscientiousness in the con-
sistency with which he followed out the
principles Of mis- life. Purity in conduct,
and earnest, trusting and chastened faith,
stamped him as true servant of God
After the singing of hymn, some rou-
tine business was transacted, after which
the Conference adjourned.

mittee on Temperance.
SALARIES

SALARIES.
MIR. Henry Coleman offered resolution
providing that the salaries of the officers
of each Conference be published in the
Church papers during the six months pre-
ceding each quadrennial Conference, and
that all portions of salaries paid to the
families of sick or deceased members, to-
gether with travelling expenses. be regn.
larly reported to the next ensuing General
Conference.
DIR. Lanahan thought the resolution
showed exceedingly bad taste.
MIR. Ray argued with the last speaker
that they ought to be ashamed of the small
salaries paid to their officers, but was OF
the opinion that the oftener this stinginess
was brought before the people the better it
would be for the Church. He was Il tween,
ty-fve cent Methodist for four years, and
he thanked God that during that time he
only got quarter Of dollars worth Of
religion once in three months. Laugh
teri. This matter ought to be published
and thoroughly ventilated. When new
preacher came to district, it was pitiabe
to see a Conference assemble and dole ont
SO much for the preacher. SO much for his
wife, and so much for his children, mean-
ing SO many pounds of tea, Or coffee, or
rice, or so many yards Of calico. This beg
carly feeling ought to be banished. The
blood of hundred years of Methodist
preachers ran through his veins, and he
knew all about it and felt keenly in the
matter. [Great laughter and applause].
After some further discussion, the reso-
luton was adopted.
