The decision of the jury in the case
of Martha Sebert VS. the City of AL.
pena, is one that concerns the city and
townships of this county very much.
We mentioned last week that ver-
dict had been rendered against the
city for $500. We had not room then
to give the particulars. The evidence
was to the effect that the plaintiff had
received severe injuries by being
thrown out of a wagon. and that a
stump on the road was the cause of
the accident. The stump was big
pine one at the side Of the road, and
but short distance from Chisholm
street bridge. The city introduced
evidence that the said stump was
about Is feet from the center of the
beaten track. A witness, who has
driven over the road for many years,
testified that he considered the road
at that place reasonably safe one,
and did not think the stump danger
Gus obstruction to travel, any more
than the telegraph poles were. The
road where the accident occurred, al
though in the city limits, is neither
more nor less than a country road.
Now, if the decision of the Jury holds
good in this case, then every township
in the county is under obligations to
clear out all their roads the lawful
width and remove every tree, every
stump, and every obstruction, or else
become liable for any damage that
may occur to persons riding or driving
along on them. If city is liable,
then the townships are liable. 1t is
probable that the city will carry the
case to the Supreme Court, in order
that the suit may be decided on its
legal merits.

1t has often been charged by Re
publican leaders that the Democratic
government had removed all the Re-
publican clerks in the railway mai
service. Postmaster-General Dickin
son was recently called upon by the
Senate to show what changes had been
made in the said railway mail service.
His report shows that from January
LIST, 1885, to December 3lst, 1888, the
changes made were as follows Died
1873; voluntarily resigned 1927; re-
moved 1875. On December 31st of
last year, there were on the rolls ,553
postal clerks who were appointed by
the Republicans before the Democrats
came into power. The reasons given
for the removal of the 1875 postal
clerks is as follows For physical or
mental incapacity I1S, for inefficiency
in the discharge of duty 1926, for Off
cial misconduct 263, for personal
313, for improper charact-
er or habits AZ, for political causes 90,
and no cause is given for the removal
of A. The period embraced in the
report contains two months of Repub-
ican rule, and three years and ten
months of Democratic rule.

Last Monday the four years term OF
Office of President Cleveland expired,
and he was succeeded by President
Benjamin Harrison. During the time
that Grover Cleveland has been Pres
ident of this great country, he has
served the people honorably and faith
fully, and he leaves record behind
him that is unblemished. If ever a
man tried to do his duty, he did, and
he carries with him in his retirement,
the warm regards and best wishes of
the people which he served so well.
He never seemed to forget that he was
a servant of the people, and he lived
up to his famous motto that "a public
Office is public trust" His admin
istration was a clean one. 1t was free
from scandals and public abuses. To
say that he has committed no mistakes
would be to claim for him divine pow
ers yet it can be honestly said of
him that he has done his duty as a
public officer as well as any one man
can do. Notwithstanding the i'm
mense pressure placed upon him by
politicians he kept his promise in re-
gard to the civil service, and, to-day
there are thousands of Republicans
holding Office who were appointed be-
fore he was inaugurated, and have
held office during his administration.
One of his greatest achievements was
in being the means whereby personal
abuse in Presidential elections was
substituted for discussion of national
measures. He brought the Infamous
protective tax system before the peo-
pie, and compelled Democratic politi-
clans to declare for tariff reform. He
also exploded the belief that Repub-
lican administration was necessary for
the success of business. During his
four years. term Of office business has
been exceedingly prosperous a fine
navy has been built the debt of the
country has been decreased by many
hundreds of millions of dollars there
is an enormous surplus in the treasury;
the government affairs have been adj
ministered economically and efficient
ly; better feeling has been created
between the north and south and
one of his last acts was to remove the
railway postal clerks from political
influence by making arrangements for
them to become part of the civil SER
vice system.

Messrs A. McClurg & Co, Chicago, will
publish shortly The Dignity of Man, a
volume of select sermons preached by the
late Bishop Harris, in Advent seasons, du-
ring the years Of his episcopate in the do
cese Of Michigan. These Advent sermons
were the special messages of Bishop Har.
ris to his people about their every day life,
the. conditions Of which he perfectly un.
derstood. and present the mature convic-
tons which his strong, vigorous, manly
mind gathered respecting their spiritual
needs and dangers. While they are esen-
tally sermons for the times and also APP
picable to all Christians, they will appeal
with unusual force to all who heard and
loved him as their pastor or bishop. Bish-

The Voting Machine.

The newly invented voting machine
certainly promises to be a success. In
using it each voter goes separately and
privately into compartment. Be-
fore him is arranged, on a board, a
set of buttons or keys. They are ar
rayed in sets Of a dozen lines, four,
FIVE or more in each line. The four
or five represent the different parties
Republican, Democratic, Prohibi-
ton, Labor, Citizens. Along the
sides Of the keys are the dozen or more
officers to be voted for auditor, treas
urer, sheriff, register, etc. If voter
wishes to vote straight party ticket
he touches every key representing the
offices under the proper party name
at the top of the row. If he wants to
vote for any candidate of any other
party he touches the sheriff" "regis-
ter" key or whatever Office he desires
under the right party name.

Our Railway Post.

The Railway Mail Service at the
close of the fiscal year ending June
80, 1888, gave employment to 1904
clerks. Matter was distributed on
126,310 miles of railway, and on H.
400 miles additional closed pouches
we're carried. There were also oper-
ated Al inland steamboat lines on
which postal clerks we're employed.
The postal clerks travelled Gin crews
122,031, 1t miles by railway, and
1,777,649 miles by steamboats,. They
distributed 6,52s,772,O0O pieces of or
binary mail matter, and handled 49,
001 ,059 registered packages and cases,
and 1,103,0s3 through registered
pouches and inner registered sacks.
The credit Of suggesting the first
step toward the present system has
generally been given to Colonel G. B.
Armstrong, who in 1864 was assistant
postmaster at Chicago. This is incor.
rect w. A. Davis. clerk Of the
st. Joseph, Mo-, post Office, where the
overland mail was made up. conceiv-
I'd the idea in 1862 that if the letters
and papers could be assorted on the
cars between Quincy and st. Joseph,
the overland mail could start prompt
ly on time. He was given permission
to carry out his idea, and there are
vouchers on file in the Department at
Washington showing that he was paid
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1889-03-06

for that specific work. In 1854 Colo
mel Armstrong was authorized and
encouraged by the Hon. Montgomery
Blair, then Postmaster-G General, tc
undertake the difficult task of arrang-
ing and introducing the service. On
August 31st, 1864, he wrote, To-day
l commenced the new distribution"
Subsequently, Colonel Armstrong be-
came the first General Railway Mail
Superintendent, and held this office
until ill-health compelled him to re-
sign in 1871. To Colonel George S.
Bangs, of Illinois, and his successors,
Theodore N. Vail, VIM. B. Thompson,
and John Jameson is due the excel
lence of the present system.-Scrib.

President Harrison was inaugural
ed last Monday. He commences his
term of Office with the best regards OF
the Democrats. The election last fall
did not run on personalities, and con-
sequently there were no bitter feelings
aroused. If President Harrison's adj
ministration proves a good one, more
Democrats will be benefited than Re-
publicans, because the last election
showed the Democrats to be about
100000 stronger than the Republi-
cans. If he does as well as Grover
Cleveland did, he will have done his
duty.
