be the duty Of said courts at the time of
levying the county tax in such year, to
levy a road tax on all property made tax
able by the laws Of this state; not exceed
ing one mill on the dollar in any year."

A Northern Contemporary the Victim
OF Misplaced Confidence.

The Resorter is a victim of misplaced con-
fidence Last week we engaged a religious
editor, realizing that our force needed
strengthening in that direction. He was a
fair-haired, mild manner I'd young man. and
was loaded down with Sunday School medals
and testimonials. One of the first duties ss-
signed him was TO report the SESSION at st.
Johns Episcopal Church. So great was our
confidene in him that the night editor did
not revise his work, and as a result yesterday
mornings paper proclaimed TO the whole
world and the rest of mankind that Bishop
Richter. the eminent Catholic divine. now
in Germany. preached an elegant sermon.
and administered rites Of confirmation in
our Episcopal Church OF course intelligent
readers like ours would know that Bishop
Gillespie was meant, but We feel bad 10 be
40 deceived in the young man. Hereafter
he Uili act "a base ball reporter, and IL i eT-
pected that his peculiar ability will enable
him to report every game Won by the home
club. -HGrbor Springs ResOrfsr.

CHURCHILL DENOUNCED
The London STANDARD" Very Venom
Gus this Morning.

LONDON, July 30.-The Standard denounces
the action of Lord Randolph Churchill in re-
fusing to speak at the Liverpool meeting
because theimembers' from Liverpool had
criticised his Irish policy. The Standard
describes Churchill as a very much over
rated, impudent, overgrown school-boy;
good at insulting his superiors, but
otherwise of very ordinary talents. His
praises are sung by the Interested clique,
but, says the Standard, ''it is time for 9TH
ers to speak out. We will not sing praises
nor be bullied by any over grown school
boy verging upon middle age with
mans sense. Salisbury must decide soon,
or Churchill, having already worked
irreparable harm to the Conservative
party, will ruin it altogether" As parting
shot the Standard describes Lord Churchill
as a miserable. absurd imitator of Disraeli,
without one e-fiftieth part of the latier's abil-
ity. The article is sure to create a marked
political sensation.
