NEW ELECTION LAW.
How the Sovereign Elector Will Vote
in the Future.

Under the new law in regard to elections
passed last week by the legislature, on cleo
ton day there will be no tickets at the polls,
except on the inside of booths erected for the
Judges and clerks; here each voter goes and
receives ballot which will be at least foot
square, and containing the names of all the
candidates on all the tickets, headed respect
lively, Republican, Democratic, Prohibition,
Union Labor, Alliance, and many other
parties. with the names Of the candidates
following underneath. The voter enters the
booth, and out of sight of everyone, takes
ticket, and if he desires to vote for any party
straight, he makes cross above that party
ticket: If he desires to mix his ticket, he makes
cross after the name of every man fer whom ne
wishes to vote. He then hands his ticket to the
udees and his name is recorded by the clerks as ne
retires, The Judges will be four in number, not
more than two of whom shall be members OF the
same political party; there will be two clerks OF
opposite politics. ..,..a J..

The traffic on the Suez Canal for 1890 was
$3.50 vessels, registering 6,e9O,014 tons. The
traffic on the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, through
which vessels from Lake Superior reach the
lower lakes, in 1890 was 10,557 vessels and g.
asa, ,435 tons. The Suez Canal is open the
year round. In 1890 the Sault Ste. Marie
Canal was navigable for 22S days. These
comparative figures show in a strong light
the bulk and value of our lake trade, and in
cidentalIy the value of reciprocity with the
people whose territory skirts nearly the
whole lake region.

The wideningof the road connecting the
Kalida pike with the Spangler road in South
Napoleon, was again agitated in the council
Monday night on the presentation of a petit
tion signed by the property owners along
said road, praying for the improvement.
Mr.. Ludwig held that the road in question
was about the principal throughfare on that
side and the width to be altogether made
quate for the amount of travel; that the
ditching was imperfect, thus rendering it a
veritable mud-hole in the rainy and wintry
seasons.
As prayed for in the petition, the territory
to be appropriated will be from the south
side of the road, which consists mostly of
vacant lots; while on the other hand the
north side is all occupied by dwellings which
would not necessarily be moved but still
would greatly depreciate the property,
should the road be enlarged from this side.
The south side seems to be the only reason
able part to appropriate, and the petitioners
were iudicious in so praying.

THIS AND THAT.

On the inside of this impression Will be
found tale, singular, not in the spirituaiistic
tenents advanced, but in the rather queer and
foolish courtship of one Heslipgton, a soldier
who was former resident of Tifhn, Ohio.
Becoming enamoured of a Massachusetts,
lady in 1862, this courtship was carried on for
a quarter Of a century-with the middle
states intervening. He finally died aud con-
tinued in the same channels after death.
Why such long-range, long time "sparkin"
existed, great many theories can be ad-
vanced. The most tenable are, that his be-
loved possessed, unfortunately, a half dozen
Bostonian aunts who dreaded those horrid
men; or, few wise and, way down in their
own esteem, judcious sisters, who claimed
the privilege of prior marriage to, the
youngest; or, she may have possessed a
cranky father or cautious mother who had
been married hundred years, and were dis-
posed to view the marriage estate as dead
fizzle; or, she may have had a few SASSY
brothers with pugilistic proclivities, who
were not particularly pleased with Hesling.

Considering the dispatch with which
Washington, and other soldiers, finished
their co1rtin', and, that the hero of thi

all of the above theories are not altogethe
impracticable.

SINCE the first census was taken the settled
area of the country has increased about eight
fold, while the population is sixteen times
greater. This would seem to indicate that
every cultivated acre in the country supports
twice as many people in 1891 as each culti-
waited acre supported in 1880. We have now
fewer proportionate number of farmers;
but the energy of muscle has been so wonder
fully eked out by mechanical improvements,
that we not only supply our own people, but
help to feed and clothe millions of other reo-
pie in all parts of the world.

1t is pleasing to note that the council has
taken the question of sidewalks in hand and
henceforth, as soon as repairs can be made,
we will enjoy substantial walks. Not only
are they after property owners who have no
walks at all, but some of the so called brick
pavements will undergo needed repairs.
Many of these pavements evidently have a
foundation of quick sand, or some other
treacherous, diabolical combination of terra
frma. very little rain serves to make
travel to pedestrians extremely hazardous
without the aid of life preserver. For
sooth, slight pressure of the foot will turn
the brick upon end, shower of mud and
water deluging the pedal extremities.
Then again in other walks the grading is
defective and it is no rare occurrence after a
rain for an entire walk to be submerged,
temporarily.

A DIVORCE case was never known In which

probable at some future time. Yesterday a
woman appeared at the Court House and

same herself. Unless she keeps up the ex-
penses as they go through life, the husband
is likely to tire of the thing and apply for a

SAM SMALL MAULED.
Out for an Assault in Prohibition
Speech.

Rev. Sam w. Small, the we'll known
evangelist, was assaulted in an At
lanta barber shop Thursday by Tom
Miner, saloon proprietor, who has
recently been made the object of some
very harsh criticism by Small.
In public speech in Prohibition
hall in this city, Small attacked Miner
personally, stating that to sell pop-
skull liquor on Decatur street, he was
neglecting his wife and children and
leaving them in perjury and want. He
continued his references to Miner in
this decidedly PERSONAL strain.
Small went to,the barber shop to get
shaved and Miner accosted him, saw
ing that this was the first time he had
chance to see him.
"Do you know who | am, sir?"
asked Miner.
Small replied that he did not.
With the statement that he was Tom
Miner, he assaulted the evangelist,
broke his eyeglasses and knocked out
one of his front teeth. Bystanders
Immediately separated them and the
trouble ended.
Rev. Mr.. Small says it was simply
the brutal attack of a thug, and if he
had expected il he yyauld-h-~" eofn-
s----~wures. He was not hurt
enough to prevent his appearance at a
rally at Prohibition hall at night. where
he made a speech vigorously assailino

Miner says SmalPs assault on him
several days ago was entirely unpro-
voked and unjustifiable; that he did
mol make it as "A minister, but as a
campaign stump 81 eaker, and that il
was 80 outrageously unjust to himself

which he did.
