Who Shall Spend the Dollars?

OY0SSO, Mich, March FL, 1890.
The time is row near when the people of
this city will have an opportunity of decid-
ing who shall spend the city funds for the
coming year and who shall grant franchises.
Discussions are heard in various parts
the city in regard to the expenditure of the
citys money. The plans proposed and
discussions held as to tho best way to secure
a good city government for the COM
ing year are varied. Some advocate a
citizens meeting and appointing a
small committee froA each party to
place in nomination persons to be voted for.
Others say, ''Parties to the dogs! Give us
good, honest men TO vote for without regard
to politics." Many say the men they want
will not take nomination and struggle for
an office that will only be curse to them if
elected. Some ask, Why don't the Business
Mems Association interest themselves i'm the
selection of our board of aldermen? and SO
they go.
We are told that this year the Aldermen
will be nominated by caucus held in each
of the wards and that the ward caucuses
will elect delegates to a city convention to
nominate the city officers. This seems to
be the best way. Now let the people all
turn out to the ward caucuses and If they
want q change, make it, as the aldermen
are TIC important otficers-they appropriate
and spend the city money and do all the
business.
Now carefully select your aldermen
leave party out of the question and you will
certainly secure the best results. If you do
not attend the ward caucuses. do not complain
when the tax collector calls on you next
July. Resp, JAMES OsBURN.

The Economic Class.

Last Monday evening in accordance with
the generous invitation of PrOfsJ. w. Sim
mons, the Economic class met in the Super
intendent's Office in the high school building
to learn from him in an illustrated lecture
some of the marvels Of electricity. Prof.
Simmons is thoroughly cOnversant with
this subject, and with the new apparatus
was able to show in thirty experiments, or
whereabouts, the different kinds, various
operations and some of the manifold uses
of electricity-this latest and most potent
economic factor. The lecturers clear and
engaging explanations rendered the hour
thoroughly instructive and delightful. The
class is deeply in debt to Prof. Simmons.
Monday evening, March 10th, the Economic
class held its semi-mOnthly meeting with
Mrs. Hudson. Hon. G. M. Dewey was in
charge of the lessOn which was interesting
and profitable. 1t continued the subject of
Transfers of Goods, including credit and
the regulation of international commerce.
Banking, commercial agencies, free trade
and protection were briefly considered,
everyone regretting that the limited time
rendered the review so cursory. The at
tendance was large and the attention of the
class untlagging. At the close of the even
ing's program, Mr.. A. ID. Whipple, in re-
Spoiise W previous llNitdlioI, gave " col-
ference on the subject of ''Bills Receivable"
He described the character of bills of ex-
change most lucidly and traced with skill
full brevity the course of a promissory note
from beginning to end, answering promptly
and satisfactorily, by the way, great vari-
ETY. of questions asked by interested hearers.
The class testified their appreciation of Mr..
Whipple's address in hearty resolution of
thanks. The next meeting will be held
Monday evening, March cath, with Mr..
Charles Stewart, on Washington street.
Subject Of lesson, distribution of Goods, "
three chapters. The Rev. r. r. Davies,
leader.

SUICIDE.

THOMAS O'CONNoR ENDS HIS LIFE.
The unexpected often happens. This
was certainly true on Thursday morning.
For nearly twenty years Thomas O'COnnOr
has been in the employ of the Michigan
Central railroad, filling various places, and
from time to time given an easier job. OF
late years he has acted as car Inspector. He
was genial pleasant man, his Irish wit
making him fav0rite among his daily COM
paniOns. To all his good qualities there
was one offset-his habit of using TO excess
Intoxicating liquors, to this habit alone can
the act which caused his death be attributed.
For several days Tom had been drinking
heavily and had neglected his duty and had
been told by some of the trainmen that they
should report him to headquarters, meaning
the loss of his job.
The circumstances of his death are about
as follows as told by Mrs. O'Connor: She
got up first. made the fire, went out to the
barn and MIXED the cow, on returning to
the house she found Tom up, partially dress
ed in the sitting room with shot gun in his
hands; he asked her to go out and pump
him glass of water, which she had COM
menced to do when startled by the report of
gun In the house, Fastening in she found
her husband lying on the floor, with the left
side of his head blown off, death having
been almost instantaneous.
The sight i'm the room was terrible one,
blood and brains being scattered over al
most everything and the body presented
sickening sight.
Richard Haley, boarder with the family,
says the gun was not loaded the night be-
fore, and Mrs. OConnor thinks she was sent
after the water to give him chance to fin
ish up the job he had in hand. The general
belief is that he stood in front of q looking
glass, placed the gun under his chin and
with his toes pulled the trigger.
Coroner Baldwin was summoned and inn
paneled the following jury to hold an in
quest: Chas. McAnlif, Chas. Currier,
Chas Stanlake, Hiram AFFORD, Harvey Ak
ford and Edward Meredith. The jury view
cd the remains and the inquest was adjourn
cd to this morning.
O'Connors two sons are both railroad en-
plOyees. one working on the Durand and
Bay City road and the other on the Mack
inaw branch of the NJ. c. Both were noti-
fled of their fathers death and are expected
home today. O'Connor was 50 years of age.
