less organist makes the statement
that the attorneys for the liquor
dealers and the City Attorney
"whacks up" he makes a statement
that he cannot substantiate, one
that he will some day contradict
himself. These liquor suits were
commenced years ago, and as the
partnership of the Comptroller and
City Attorney commenced on jan
nary lst, 1878, the City Attorney
cannot lave any share in the profits
of the business with which he had
nothing to do. Another falsehood
is, in the statement that tone of the
councilmen was in partnership"
etc, so the chronic GROWER is off
the track again there. No attor-
ney ever offered to give any SER
vices in the case until two weeks
after the Council had voted to re-
fund the money, so in that quarter
the cry is great, but actually little
ground for bowling. Now let's see
the great 81 am" haul in his horns.
That contemplate sheet near the
postofflce, despised by its own par
ty, would have the people believe
that the Democrats are at fault for
the city being compelled to refund
the money paid for liquor licences
in 1878, but if the intellectual
"brain power" of the concern will
take the trouble to examine the re-
cords, he will probably find where
the fault lies. If we mistake not,
at the time the liquor license or
dinance was pretended to be pass
ed, the Mayor, Recorder, City At
torney, and four Aldermen were
Republicans, yet we cannot be so
unfair as to make statement that
the Republican party is to blame
for that ordinance never having
been legally passed by the Com
mon Council of 1928. We look at
it as an oversight; but the nasti-
ness down the street blindly rushes
out and proclaims to the people
that the Democrats are going to
swallow up the community.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I find in your pa
per of the 9th of February, the
following:
ave are informed that there is
considerable complaint that there
was no lights seen in the Pressure
Isle ranges after the 9Th of Deem
her last, although navigation was
fully open and steamers piled night
and day. Also that the front light
was out at various times in Novem-
her, when it should have been burn
ing"
In answer to the above, | would
say that in the month of Novem-
Der, 1877, the lights of the range
were never out when they should
be burning, and were not put out
until December IA, 1877. There
was no vessel seen on the lakes
after the 9th of December. If your
informant will be kind enough to
furnish proofs or let the public
know who he is, he will confer
favor.

The Common Council has voted to pay back the
taxes collected of the whisky sellers to the amount
of e. 500 10 5000. Some circumstances connected
with the matter are worthy of note. This tax
was collected four or five years ago, and has not
been paid back until we have working majority
of the Council Democratic. the Comptroller Dem
ocrntic the City Attorney Democratic, and the de-
citing Judge Democratic. The Comptroller Is not
only Democrat, but he is an attorney against the
city, and the City Attorney II his business partner
IL is rumored and not ntadicted that the attor-
noys for the whisky sellers, OF which the Comp
troler is one and the City Attorney Is his partner
in business, "whacks up" with their clients an
equal division of the spois they get out OF the
city. One of the councilmen was IN partnership
with one of the whisky sellers at the time the TAX
WIS paid, and is therefore an Interested party IN
receiving the part of the money The Council re-
fus, 70 carry the case 20 the Supreme Court not
withstanding attorney ofersto give ms services
free for doing providing he loses the case Con
sidering the above circumstances IL is not strange
that the Council wns in great haste 10 pay the mon
ey and would not postpone action on II for a sim
gle week, and then was in equal hot haste to put
It beyond the reach Of the Supreme Court
The above appeared in the last
issue of the organ, and is sugges-
tive to the public that the spring
election is near at hand. Somehow
il has become chronic habit with
the manager of that sheet to throw
dirt and make just such contempt
ible statements on the eve of cleo
tons. At the meeting Of the Coun-
Gil when that body voted to pay
back the amounts that had been
illegally collected, there were five
Aldermen present-three Democrats
and two Republicans, and all voted
in favor of refunding the money,
and the Mayor, who signed the or
ders. was a Republican, so that
this much shows that the organ
grinder really knows nothing about
the matter, but he must throw dirt,
even II IL be at home. In regard
to the Comptroller, he was the at,
torney against the city, and did
hi, duty the City Attorney, to our

the legality Of the ordin-
ance. but law and justice we're

DR.. Shelton met with severe
accident on Thursday night last,
while coming from Long Rapids.
He was driving at rapid rate and
when within n few miles of town,
the forward wheels dropped into q
rut, which caused the breaking of
both whiffletrees, letting the team
loose and dragging the doctor out
into the road. He fell upon his
face with such force as to render
him senseless, in which state he re-
NAMED for several hours and when
he recovered sufficiently to realize
the situation he found himself be-
daubed with blood and mud. He
started on foot for the city, but
finding his team had been caught
by q stub, returned, hitched to the
buggy, and drove home. The doe
tor is pretty sorry looking sight,
but we are pleased to see that he
is on the mend, and able to attend
to business.

Mr.. Justus A. Rogers,

Mr.. Justus A. Rogers,
An Sable, Mich.
DEAR SIR.-Your favor of the
9TH inst. is received. l have ex-
amined sec. 9, act 100, laws of 1877,
and give you my understanding Of
that section as follows:
In law there are two kinds of
days, to wit: Natural days and
artificial days. A natural day con-
sists of twenty-four hours, or that
space of time which elapses while
the earth makes a complete revolu-
ton on its axis. An artificial day
consists of the time which elapses
from the rising until the setting of
the sun, and short time before
rising and after setting, during
which one man may recognize
another short distance off. In
penal and prohibitory statues, the
term day is always understood to
mean a natural day. Whenever
different meaning is intended, the
word daylight" or daytime" is
used as a Limitation. Suppose a
statute prohibited the sale of liquor
on Sunday we would have no diff
ficulty in understanding the word
SUNDAY" to mean natural day,
to wit: From II o'clock Saturday
night until II o'clock Sunday night.
In the statute referred to, the
language used is "on the day Of !
any election held within this State"
If the Legislature had intended any
less time than q natural day, they {
could and would have said "during
the time within which said election
IS being held" or some other Ian '
yuage amounting to a limitation. {
If other reasons were sought t
10 aid the construction above given,
hey would not be difficult to find. c
The title of the act is can Act 10 q
Maintain Political Purity" The !
Legislature designed that on cleo v
ion day, the citizen shall address /
himself to his political duties, hon. I
'stly, carefully, and soberly; that
he election shall be conducted lc-
rally, and peacefully. and that the
'oter shall be relieved and removed
rom unfair or improper appliances. T
Common experience teaches us Y
hat in those precincts where no =
quor is vended on the day of NJ
lection, that the elections are con- :
ucted peacefully, honorably, and =
sgally, and result in fair and
onest expression of the public
ill, while ia those localities where r,
quors are freely vended, elections y,
re apt to be VIGOROUSLY, and out +,
ageously unfair, riotous, criminal, ;,
nd illegal. Many good citizens :
efrain from voting, and under such
fair expression at RI
ne polls is an impossibility. The HI
legislature wisely concluded that OF
, prohibit the sale of liquor, du- al
ng the hours of polling votes m
ply, would not prevent the disas- je
'ous results, above referred to, I'll
nd, therefore, extended the pro- al
ibition to the entire day of cleo m
on. The act does not mean from Al
o'clock to II o'clock, as you sug- N
Est in your letter. N
Act No. 1913, laws Of 1877, has r
othiug to do with act 100. The ps
st named act is an independent
stute. Any person, who, at any d.
