Justices of the Peace, must be filed
with the Town Clerk not before August
II, 1892, nor after August 81, 1892.
Your attention is especially called to
Section "a and 25, Number 9 of the
Acts of 1890 1t would seem, on ex-
aiming Sections 70, 79 and 70 of the
Revised Laws, that it was the intention
of the Legislature that the Board of
Civil Authority is what is meant by the
officers whose duty it is by law to des-
ignate the polling places; so, at least as
early as September 1, 1892, the Board
of Civil Authority should determine
the number and situation of the polling
places and appoint for each polling
place four ballot clerks-two repub-
licans and two democrats-under the
provisions of Section "a of Number 9
of the Acts of 1890. The Board of
Civil Authority should also, under Sec
ton 25 of Number of the Acts of
1890 cause suitable voting booths to be
supplied. The polling places desig-
mated by the Board of Civil Authority
should all be within the place named
in the Warning for holding the meet
ing. In most towns the board will not
be troubled by having to designate
more than one polling place or by
having to appoint more than one set of
ballot clerks, as voters in nearly all the
towns can all be accommodated by one
polling place. Your town officers will
do well to consult officers of towns
where town meetings have been al
ready held under the new act, and
where booths have been prepared,
cards of instruction made, etc.
Inasmuch as the endorsements upon
the backs of the official Town Repre-
sentative ballots and the official Justice
of the Peace ballots will be in the same
words and figures, the Town Clerk
should see to it that the official ballots
for Justices of the Peace are printed
upon paper cut considerably wider and
longer than that upon which the official
ballots for the Town Representative are
printed and he might well still further
have larger-sized type used in print
ing the endorsement upon the official
Justice of the Peace ballots than that
used in printing the endorsement on the
official Town Representative ballots and
in these ways lawfully aid the voter
and the presiding officer who takes the
votes to be sure which of the two bal
lots, when folded, belongs in the repre-
sentative box, and which in the Justice
box.
In case no certificates of nomination
should be filed with the Town Clerk as
required by law, he should nevertheless
furnish official ballots for Town Repre-
sentative and also official ballots for
Justices of the Peace, each prepared
and endorsed the same as though cer-
tificates of nomination had been filed,
except that in such case the name of no
candidate will be printed thereon. This
will give each voter, in case no certid-
Gates are filed as required by law, the
opportunity of exercising his constitu-
tional right to vote for Town Repre-
sentative and Justices of the Peace upon

In making the check list there should
be stated against the name of each

BOARD OF CIVIL AUTHORITY.
The Board of Civil Authority is COM
posed of the Selectmen and Justices of
the Peace in each town.
AS early as August %, 1892, the Board
of Civil Authority must appoint day

and no meeting of the board can make
any change in the check list after II

Your attention is called TO some spe-
cihc directions and suggestions sub
mitted below:
DUTIES OF TOWN OFFICERS.
Some of the duties of town officers
relating to the Freemen's Meeting, to
be held September 6, 1892, are as fol-
lows:
On or before August 6, 1892, the Sc
lectmen in every town must make a
check list-in other words, an alphabet
ical list of the persons qualified to vote
at the Freemen's Meeting in their town,
and must, on or before August 6, 1892,
cause at least two copies of such list to
be posted in two or more public places
in their town; and also, on or before
August 6, 1892, must file a copy of such
list in the Town Clerks office. This
list may be headed: "Check List of
Legal Voters in the Town Of, at
tllC l. w NC LClh CCp-
TENDER g., 1892" Following this head
ing should come an alphabetical list Of
the legal voters. This list is generally
made up of the names of persons who
were on the last Freemen's Meeting
check list, and who still remain legal
voters in the town, with the addition of
the names of such other persons as the
Seectmen know are already qualified to
vote at the next Freemen's Meeting in
their town.
This list of names should be followed
on each of the copies posted and on the
copy filed in the Town Clerks Office by
certificate, or statement, signed by
the Selectmen, which statement may be
substantially as follows
The above is an alphabetical list of the
pers ons qualified to vote at the Freemen s
Meeting to be held in the town Of, Yer
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-08-03

/
No. 131 of Acts of 1889, and post it,
after it is recorded and on the day it is
made, at the usual place of holding
Freemen's Meeting. In town whose
population does not exceed 1000,
Freemen's Meeting should be called at
twelve o'clock, noon; in town whose
population exceeds 1900 and does not
exceed 5000, at ten O'Clock A, NJ, and
in a town whose population exceeds
5000, at nine O'Clock A. NJ.
THE DATES.
The special dates of Aug. 6, Aug. %,
and August 25 herein given are dates
applicable to this year only, as they are
dates which are respectively thirty, fif-
teen and twelve days before Freem ems
Meeting of this year, and are the proper
dates for this year simply because the
first Tuesday of September, the day of
Freemen's Meeting, will be the sixth
day of September, 1892. So, if by
chance any one would use these direc-
tions after this year, he should consult
Section Go of the Revised Laws as
amended by Section 2 of Number 60 of
the Acts of 1884, and Sections &C and
| ~ of the Revised Laws to ascertain the
right dates for making, posting and
fling the check list, for giving notice of
the meeting to revise it, and for
making and posting the Warning,
which Warning should be recorded
before it is posted. See Number
131 of the Acts of 1888. For max
ing the check list to be used in Novem-
Der next, at the election of electors of
president and vice president, revising
the same, and issuing the warning, see
Sections 20 and ~ of the Revised Laws,
and number 131 of the Acts of 1888.
THE NEW BALLOT ACT.
Under Number 9 of the Acts of 1890,
as amended by Number l of the Acts
of the Special Session of 1891, the
County Clerk will furnish the proper
officers of your town with an official
ballot to be used in voting for all Of
fcers excepting Town Representative
and Justices of the Peace. Your town
will need to provide three ballot boxes
-one for the official ballots that will be
furnished by the county clerk, one for
the official ballots for Town Representa-
tive, and one for those of Justices of the
Peace; and ifyour town has more than
one polling-place three boxes must be
provided for each additional polling
place; for the preparation of the polling
place, including voting booths, and the
duties of your town officers in regard to
the ballots and conduct of the election,
there should be a careful study of the
two Acts last referred to. 1t should be
seen to that the Town Clerk at once
takes means to procure proper plate
from which may be printed his name in
fac Sin,ile in the endorsement on the
official ballots for Town Representative
and those for Justices of the Peace as
we'll as on the sample ballots for these
officers. The Town Clerk will have to
prepare and haye printed cards of in
struction and list of candidates for
Town Representative and Justices,

A Significant Return to an Old Form Of
Ceremony in Ireland.
IBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, Oct PA significant sign OF
the new order of things now prevailing in
ireland was given Wednesday, at the open
ing of the commission of Oyer and Term
liner for the trial of prisoners in Dublin.
One of Mr.. Balfour's most insolent
actions during his reign in Ireland
was directed against corporations
of Irish capital 1t took the
form of altering this commission, which
from time immemorial until five years ago
was addressed in the Queens name to the
Lord Mayor of Dublin and one of the
judges On the 2nd of December, 1887, T.
D. Sullivan, NJ. p, then Lord Mayor, at
tended court as usual in full state, and otter
the commission, in which he was ignored,
had been read, he made magnificent pro-
test against the insult thus offered to the
citizens, and then retired from the bench.
Last Wednesday the Lord Mayor attended
in great state and had the satisfaction, In
common with a large audience of citizens,
of hearing the commission read in the old
form and addressed to 'tour trusty and well
beloved Lord Mayor of Dublin. The
matter is not q small one, as some people
think, for forms and ceremonies count for
something even in ireland, and English
mIsrule has not extinguished the civic
pride of Irishmen.

LONDON, Oct 22-Miss Kate Marsden,
the intrepid English nurse who has dedi-
Gated her life to the improvement of the
sad lot of lepers in Siberia, will leave for
the United States next week on lecturing
tour. Since her return from Siberia,
Miss Marsden has been made much of in
London. Ladies of the royal family have
talked with her and fashionable danes have
valnly tried to exploit her. Last night she
was presented with the special silver badge
of the Nurses Institute, which was pinned
upon her breast BY royal hands. To-mor-
row she will be at Balmoral Castle as the
guest of the Queen, and next week members
of the royal family will attend q farewell
meeting in her honor.
But Miss Marsden wants something more
than these personal attentions Royal
patronage and society dattering will not
provide the money which she requires for
the endowment of two leper colonies in
Siberia, and she is going to America in the
confident hope that she will be able to
raise the necessary funds there.

Attention is called to the advertisements,
in another column to-day, OF The Michigan
Furniture Company. This house has steadily
gained in public favor until at the present
time they hold an enviable position in the
esteem OF housekeepers. Pursuing the cash
system with unwavering consistency, they
are enabled to give their patrons the benefit
of the lowest possible prices on every article
of furniture. Add to this the fact that they
only sell goods of actual worth and reliabil-

increase in their trade. Every customer is
well treated and is thereby made friend
of the house. Their stock is large, varied
ana every article is reliable. and well made,
