One Opinion of the Matter.

The Supreme Court of Michigan has
declared the local option law recently
enacted in that State as unconstitu-
tional. and therefore it need not be
obeyed or respected. This goes to
show that the temperance men of that
State have attempted, the same as has
been done in some other States, en-
tirely too much. This seems to be the
great trouble with many of the friends
of temperance they are not satisfied
with high license, and want to try an
impOssibility in the way of prohibition,
which, however, has never been found
to prohibit, and by this means fails to
accomplish anything. The. Republi-
can party of this State have adopted a
platform which contains high license
plank, and if the temperance men OF
this State are in earnest, they will
give their united support to it, instead
of nominating a separate ticket, which
cannot accomplish anything beyond
perpetuating the Democrats in power
Total prohibition is an impossibility,
and the only hope the friends of tenn
perance can possibly have is in high
license. .-DeIdWdFe Republican.

The Carey Will Sustained.

The Carey will has again been sus.
tanned, this time by the Court of Ap.
peals. This was a suit brought against
the crops Of Col. r. J. w. Carey, on
the farm which was left in trust by his
father. The suit was brought to re.
cover the debts contracted by Garey
and Geo. A. Millington when in the
merchantile business some eighteen OF
twenty years ago. Millington having
taken the benefit of the bankrupt law
the creditors sought to recover the
whole amount from the Carey estate
which had been left to r. J. w
Garey's heirs. ThOs. f. Carey, in his
lifetime, having tried to compromise
the matter and pay the one half of the
claim, or Col. Garey's share, this the
creditors refused, hence this suit
which has now been decided by the
Court of Appeals, in favor of the will
which said that the rents &C." com.
ing from the farm mentioned, should
be paid into the hands of r. ]. w
Carey, and not into the hands of an.
other. ."-DentOR Union.

Faotional Bitterness.
HOW THE INDEX AND "DEI.l
WAREAN " LOVE EACH OTHER.

The Dover Lader of last week, James
l.. WOlcOtt's personal organ, contains
a paragraph which to the uninitiated is
entirely obscure and harmless, but to
those who know it is as full of mean
ing and partisan hatred as an egg is
full of meat. The little paragraph
reads as follows:
If the receiving of $3.50 for services
rendered is stealing, what term should
be applied to the taking of $1,000 from
the State treasury for services never
rendered"
This is hot shot at the Dover DeLG-
lUdreGn over the shoulders of the ven
cradle Chancellor Salisbury, or rather
it is shot at the chancellor through the
editorial room of the DeLdwdredn. 1t
is not very brave to attack an old man,
but partisan warfare never is bravely
conducted and the Democratic parti-
sans at Dover never scruple to use the
meanest and most contemplate
weapons in their armOry.
The explanation of the preceding
paragraph is said to be this: The ref
erence " $3.50 for services rendered" is
a sum of money which, the DeIdlUarean
charges was twice collected by James
l.. WolcOtt, Esq, in the winter of 1887
for legal services in drawing up the
Oyster act then passed. The DeiaUar-
can charges that he collected that
amount from the Oystermen and again
an equal amount from the state.
On the other hand the reference to
$4,000 is a charge of the Iader against
Chancellor Salisbury. They say that
the Chancellor has been taking 5000 a
year from the state treasury for pub
fishing the reports of the equity court,
when it is well known that no such re-
ports have been published by him.
The charges then are that James L.
Wolcott, a leader of one of the factions
OF Kent Democrats, has accepted two
fees for one service, and that Chancel-
lor salisbury, the father of the other
faction, has been taking 5000 year for
fifteen years for services which he new
er rendered. Mr.. Wolcott hopes to
succeed Senator Eli Salisbury next
winter.-EUening Journal.

Barclay Peaks Sentence.

Twenty years imprisonment may
seem a heavy sentence for Barclay
Peak, but he can consider himself for
tunate in getting off with his life.
Nothing but a technicality stood be-
tween him and the hangman, and had
he received his deserts he would before
this have answered for his crime at the
bar of a higher tribunal than sits on
earth. As was expected, he hoped to
have his sentence lessened by denying
any criminality, claiming that he had
pleaded gully to murder in the second
degree by the advice of his counsel, but
as he has peTjured himself several times
over, this very properly had no weight
with the court. Katie AndersOn's
murderer deserves all of the sentence
