The editor of THE TINES learned
while on the late editorial excur
sion that Hon. H. H. Hatch, Of
the 10th Congressional district, posi-
lively declines to be candidate for
reelection. This renders the selec.
ton of new man necessary. The
district is decidedly Republican, and
any good man who may be placed in
nomination, as the Republican can
didate, is sure to be elected. In the
district there are several men who
would honor the position, and make
their mark in the halls of National
legislation, prominent among whom
is the Hon. James Birney, of Bay
City. Mr.. Birney is one of the tried
men of the Republican party. Has
stood by the banner, and the banner
of the liberty party from his earliest
manhood. Has an ability and ex-
perience that especially qualities him
for the place He was one of the
earliest pioneers of the Saginaw VAL
ley. Comes from family that won
historic fame by their devotion to
the interests of our common humani-
ty, and it seems to us that the PEG.
pie of the 10th district would honor
themselves, do the State and country
service by sending the son of James
G.. Birney to represent them at Wash
ington.

Relation Of Publishers to Legal Printing
A PAPER DELIVERED BEFORE THE STATE
PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION, AT BAY CITY,
MICHIGAN, JUNE 18th, 1884, BY GEO, NJ.
DEWEY, EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Mr.. PRESIDENT:
ly renominate,

Mr.. PRESIDENT:
The subject assigned me is hack
neyed one. In its discussion small
oceans of ink has flown, and elo.
quence been exhausted, and yet /
very much doubt if the magnitude
and Importance Of the question is
appreciated, by many, if any, of the
publishers before me. There are in
our State about 1900, 900 inhabitants,
the State is divided into 10 organized
counties. The amount of the legal
printing, of all classes, probate no.
tees, chancery matters, sheriff's sales,
notices of elections, proceedings of
the boards of supervisors, city and
village matters, etc., in the aggregate
will amount to not less than $4,000
on the average, in each of the coun-
ties. 1 think the average would be
considerable more, but prefer to
under estimate, rather than take any
chances of over estimating the
amount. In the past year, / have
with some care, and as closely as
practicable estimated the work in
these lines done by the press of Shia-
wassee county, with its $4,000 popu-
lation, and am satisfied that it ex-
ceeds $4,000 if paid for at legal rates.
There are in Michigan, not far
from $50 newspapers printed in the
State, of these probable 400, possibly
not so many are, by law authorized, to
do legal printing. Now if all the print
ing required by law to be done was
paid for at legal rates, and the same
divided equally among the 400 pa
pers in the State, the amount each
would receive would be on, the basis
of the estimate that the printing to
be done amounts to $500, 900, and /
feel very sure that is low estimate,
$500, twice the amount, and probable
more than that, now received by the
press. Why is thisp That is a ques-
ton individual publishers can best
answer. The work of necessity must
be done. The legislature of Michi-
gan with the parsimony that fixes all
payments for services, at minimum
rates, have fixed the legal rates for

HoRR IN CONGRESS.

The following from the Mt. Pleas.
ant Tribune is so entirely in accord
with our conviction as to the facts
stated and the policy recommended
that we take great pleasure in repro
ducing it and commencing it to the
candid consideration of our readers.
CONGRESS has closed its labors, and
the members have returned to their
homes. In reviewing the work of the
members from Michigan, we take
special pride in the record made by
our Congressman, Hon. r. G. Horr,
of the 9Th district. Every interest of
his district, the State and the country
has been carefully watched by him
and he has attended strictly to his
business. His district has had the
benefit of his mastery efforts in its
behalf and its interests have not suf-
fered in a single instance by any neg
lect on his part. He has not only
looked after the interests of his imme-
diate constituency, but has constantly
watched every attempt at legislation
not in strict harmony with the whole
country. There is not another man
in the State of Michigan or in Con-
gress who to-day has more influence
on the floor of the House than Hon.
R. G. Horr. He is not only ready
debator, but is fully posted on every
issue that can be brought before that
body. His speeches bear the impress
of hard work and the most carful re-
search into the history of our country.
No question of importance can be
proposed in that body, that does not
receive his closest scrutiny and care
| full examination. In view of the
above facts, it would seem almost
suicidal to think of nominating any
other man in his place. Our district
has vast and important interests 10
look after, aud no man in the distric,
knows better how to guard those IN.
terests than Mr.. Horn. His thorough
knowledge of the salt and lumber in
terest of the counties composing his
district qualities him in an eminent
degree to take care Of them. Every
man in the district should be proud
of the faithful manner in which he
has performed his duties. That por
ton of the eighth district which is de-
voted to agriculture ought by al
means to sustain him for the earnest
efforts put forth by him in opposition
to the reduction Of tariff on wool
We hope TO see Mr.. Horr unanimous
ly renominated.

The Detroit Commercial Advertiser
says:-"The politicians do not love
Ben Butler at all They fear he
might show as little disregard for their
feelings as he did for the rebel women
in New Orleans, or for the trustees of
the Tewksbury Almshouse last winter.
1t will be wintry day for these fellows
when Benjamin F. receives enough
votes to carry him othe White House,
but wintry days must come and some.
body must freeze. and it will not be
General Butler" Well that is posi-
bly, SO, but until Ben. thaws out Of
the freeze he got at Chicogo, he is not
likely to be dangerous, Never before

caly they killed him, and they did
right.

To The TINES il looks as though
the following originated in a little
spirit of envy. We see no reason for
believing that the Republican Gen.
trail committee is not doing its work
promptly and well. But here is what
the Port Huron Times says: 1t looks
very much as though the Republican
State Central Committee OF Michigan
needed little prodding from the
Republican presses and working Re-
publicans generally to start it off at
the lively pace deman ded by the ext.
gencies of the campaign. The Demo.

fore, and the chairman of their State
Committee is an active, inscriptions
politician, who will not only organize
for legitimate work, but will employ
any and all means to forward the
Democratic race for the Offices. The
Republican committee should 60 to
work with vigor, and should see to il
that every doubtful voter in the State
is supplied with good Republican
documents, and that local committees
in every county and town are encour-
aged to use every fair influence to
make and hold Republican voters.

/ suggest that in addition to the State,
and Western Michigan Publishers
Associations, Congressional dis
trict, and county Associations be
added, and that in the latter, special
agreements as to prices for legal
printing be entered into, and carried
out in good faith, and that proper ar
rangements be be made to prevent
all possible illiberal competition
among the members of the Associa.
ton, in local business of all classes.
This would secure to all the publish
ers, to large extent, fair share OF
the public patronage. If additional
safeguards are required let the law be
SO changed that parties having ad-
vertising to be done, may select the
paper in which it shall be printed,
and the officers be required to desig.
nate the paper thus selected. This
certainly would secure fair play on
the part OF all public officers, and al
the same time relieve them of an un.
desirable responsibility.
These suggestions are the result Of
the deductions drawn from more thar
a quarter of century of active work
as Michigan publisher. My expert
ence justifies me in saying that unles:
as an act of charity, such as is re
quired in the course of human life, il
other departments Of business, no le
gal advertisement should be printed
below legal rates; and in the name o
all that constitutes the higher interest
of this Association, and the publisher
of Michigan, l adjure you to- stanc
by each other in the enforcement o
legal pay for all legal work done.

citizens Of Bellyille were the first IN
the State to take advantage OF the
provisions Of the law which allowed
unincorporated towns to organize for
school purposes, and 10 this day they
have never regretted the step,

Waco, September 29th,-[specialJ
The pubic schools opened to-day
with AN enrolment of 400 pupils,
the largest ever known here where
free schools are of comparatively re-
cent establishment, The city fund
this year for teachers and new
buildings will be S3l, 900; nearly all
raised by special Tux, voted by the
property owners. The scholastic
course in these schools is seven years

Waco is fair sample ofwhat leading
Texas cities are doing in the educa-
tional way.
We are indebted to Superintendent
Grow for the third annual report OF
of the public schools Of the city of
Galveston for the school Year ended
June Both, 1884. One fact stated in
the report, revealing the interest felt
in Galveston for the promotion OF
education, is worthy of record. Dur
ing the last year 1920, 900 have been
expended for school property within
the corporate limits ofthe city. This
includes the $4,000 donation for the
erection of the Ball building, which
is now one of the leading ornaments
of Galveston. This expenditure OF
upwards of $50, 1000 has been accom-.
plished without going beyond the
limits of the available school fund of
the city. The citizens are under OBJ
legations to the board for their re-
markable efficiency, and the board is
to be congratulated in the selection
of a superintendent and corps OF
teachers who are 80 admirably quail
fed for their work. There are fifty
six teachers in all departments, and
212O white and GIL colored pupils

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Oct. IL. 1884

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is, 1884.
The canvass in the South has not
attracted much attention, because it
was supposed to be all one way. This
is true perhaps in nearly all of the
Southern States but three--North
Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana.
The Republicans are quietly making
a very thorough canvass in North
Carolina. Gen. Hawley, of Connect.
icut, who came up from there very
lately, believes his party will get three
of the nine Congressman. 1 cannot
say upon what he bases his predic-
ton, but so close an observer should
have reasons sufficient for the faith
that is in him.
From Louisiana the report comes
that the deuce and all is to pay.
Early in the summer the Indepen-
dents in the city of New Orleans be.

called "close corporation rule" by the
