THE FIAT HAS GONE FORTH.

Certain distinguished leaders IN
the Western part of the State have
said that there shall be no independ-
ent silver action in the State this
Fall, and that, they imagine, about
settles the whole matter. There is
close Identification III both parties
among many of the leaders in the
West. No one has yet contended
that independent action should be
had unless both National Conventions
should completely stife the voice of
silver. We have all hoped that some-
thing tangible for silver might be
presented without recourse to ex-
traordinary means. But if necessary
the people of Nevada, without re.
ga>d to party, should hold themselves
IN readi ,ess to take any step that
might seem wise to further the local
interests of the State. They all do
this sort of thing in the East. If you
attempt to touch pig iron in Pennsyl-
vania both parties are instantly in
arms against You. The very same
thing happens if you lay hand on
Massachusetts wooden or cotton
goods. Then why not the West be
equally united for silver! Is it "a
crime for people to stand by their
honest That is what the silver agi-
tation in Nevada means to-day.
There will not long be homes for
anybody in Nevada if we do not get
something done for silver. The
question is one of life and death,
and under such circumstances a
people, like an individual, are justifi-
ed resorting to any means within
their power to preserve their eH-
istence. The leaders in the west of
Nevada will wake up one of these
days to find that they are not Lead
ers at all and nobody follows them.
The people of Nevada are tired of
having the pace set for them by men
who receive their orders from d. o.

GIVE Us FAIR BALLOTS.

If the parties managing the new
school house deal, insist on having
the ballot printed in such way as to
leave the voter no option as between
new school house and repairs, the
bonds are liable to be beaten and the
children forced to occupy building
badly in need of repairs foH some
time to come.
1t seems to be the policy of the
engineers of the scheme TO force the
voters of the district to put up with
the present building indefinitely or
saddle themselves with a $40, 900
debt.
An attempt was made at the meet
ing to allow the voters to have print
ed on the tickets the words, ''For
repairs, yes but it was not even put
to vote. The moment the sugges-
ton was made several parties got up
and assured the meeting that if the
bonds were voted down the repairs
would come.
What right these people had to
thus speak for the School Trustees
no one knows.
Now in order to give the voters a
fair and square show at the PROPOSE
ton let the ballots be printed as fol-
lows:
For bonds. Yes.
For bonds. No.
For s., 900 repairs. Yes
For So, 900 repairs. No.
Now the above has been pronoun-
ced as confusing to the voter If
voter can't pick the proposition he
wants out of only four he is not fit to
vote at school election and again
how can such man vote at general
election where he mas over a dozen
selections to make. If the trustees
consider the above ticket TOO confus-
ing let them have meeting to decide
what they propose doing, and then
over their signatures let the public
know just what repairs they will
make if the bonds are beaten, in or
der that people who want the school
house repaired may not be compelled
to vote for bonds when they dislike
to do SO, because they are whipped
into line with the cry, Bonds or
nothing

A Birthday Surprise.
College, Nov. /, '92.

On the Goth of October, while Mrs. Ella
Boyd, of Bennington township was absent
on a visit, her neighbors taking possession
of her home made all necessary arrangements
for the entertainment of large number of
friends, to genuine surprise party in hon
or of her 37th birthday.
The arrival of guests commenced at al
early hour in the evening and continued
until nearly one hundred persons had as
sembled. Refreshments were brought by
the guests and the tables were soon loaded
with bountiful repast to be served uponia
beautiful sett of decorated ware, which had
been purchased for the occasion by the
guests as birthday gift to the hostess.
There were various, other gifts from rela-
tives, noticeable among which was a beau
tifu aquarium from her son Leon. The
tables were artistically laid while boquet
of geranium leaves and pansies was placed
for each guest. And in the center of the
table had been placed a beautiful placard
with the words, ITO ELLA. FROM HER
FRIENDS"
The windows had been darkened so that
the light which shone within was not visible
to any one outside, and many cOnjectures
were INDUCED in by those present, as to the
way Mrs. b. would be likely to conduct
herself when so Unexpectedly met by sc
large gathering i'm her own home.
Upon her arrival, however, at about eight
o'clock, Mrs. Boyd proved herself equal tc
the occasion, greeting her numerous guests
with smiles and pleasant words, mingled

Burton Farmers Club.

The Club met at Silver Maple Farm the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. c. Shepard on
Thursday the Goth day of October.
The members of the Club were nearly all
there and several visitors also, including
Mrs. Pau and son, of New York; Mr.. and
Mrs. Il. ID. Dewey, of OwossO; Mr.. and
Mrs. Bignal, of Henderson,; and Mr.. and
Mrs. Alexander, of Bennington.
Music was furnished by Miss Myrtle Ma
SON and Miss Blanche Shepard. After the
reading OF the minutes and devotional exer-
clses the questions were answered. Some
OF these were very interesting. Mr.. Merrill
had been asked the profit OH raising wheat
he counted up all the work on one acre
and the whole cost, including the interest
on the value of the land, then called the
average crop 16 bushels at II cents per
bushel and the conclusion was that the far
mer would be out of pocket about two dol
lars per acre. This is not very encouraging
to the farmer.
Mr.. BOwles gave what he considers the
best rotation for crops. This is to pillow sod,
plant to corn, then sow to oats and seed
down, and after it has been i'm grass about
three years summerfalow and SOW to wheat.
After the questions were answered we sat
down to sumptu0us dinner prepared by
our hostess.
The regular subjects for the day were:
washington i'm 1861 to 1865" and the
"Trip to Washington in 1892" which some
of the members made.
Mr.. Simpson spoke of Washington in
1868. The streets were very muddy and
only few of them paved, and the only
street car lme in the city was the one run
ming from the navy yard to Georgetown.
The capitol building had only the center
part built then, and there was but a small
part of the monument built at that time
The treasury building he thinks was about
as it Is now. but nearly everything else has |
changed very much.
1t was decided to call upon Mr.. Dewey |
for talk upon the board of trade and the |
effect that body has upon the sale of farm
crops, and as he occupied all the rest of the |
lay the "Trip to Washington had to be left |
Mr.. Dewey said that the present mode of |
handling wheat was very detrimental to the |
nllirg interests, but was beneficial TO the |
farmer, as without this board of trade farm |
RS would receive less for their products |
han they do now. He claimed there were |
ifty-iive million bushels of wheat now on |
he market He said the market is weak |
because it is Overburdened Farmers raise |
90 much wheat; the market cannot be |
better while so much is produced. He told |
now the board OF trade manage to get money |
o pay for wheat in advance, and explained |
he puts" and calls and the bulls" and |
bears"
He saysf the bill to suppress the board |
IF trade is passed it will bring prices still |
over.
About this time your scribe had to leave |
md so lost the rest of this talk, but do not |
hink all the members of the club were quite |
to Mr.. Dewey's ideas.
The next meeting will be at "Solid Com |

Superintendent of Public instruction

The Owosso Press of last week contained
a letter from K. A. Barnes, of Chicago,
urging all male teachers to give their sup
port to Ferris S. Fitch for superintendent
of public instruction.
In that letter Mr.. Barnes says: mo
political opinions are injected into educa-
tional affairs and a vote by republican Tor
Mr.. Fitch has no political significance what
ever" He states no facts to prove the
statement true, while on the other hand
believe there are reasons to convince us that
the statement is not absolutely reliable.
Mr.. Fitch's paper, the Oakland County
Post, is strong democratic sheet and it is
urged that he has done considerable TO
further the interests Of his party. Now L
do not wish to question his right to publish
his paper, but cannot see that casting my
vote for him would be non-partisan act
1t also appears that the element OF parti-
sanship has entered into his exercise at
power over institute work. Ii is charged
that he has practically retired many of our
ablest institute workers and placed men of
inferior ability in places demanding the best
men. The latter were men of tue same
political belief, while the former were of the
opposite.
There are other reasons why the state
ment quoted does not seem true, but l deem
it unnecessary to give any more.
Mr.. Pattengil, whose name is common to
every school room in the state of Michigan,
is the man whom l believe to be tie best
man of all the candidates for the next super
intendent of public instruction. He is pre-
eminently fitted for the place, has doubtless
visited more schools and met more teachers
than any other man in the state. He is
therefore thoroughly acquainted with the
educational needs of the state, and his whole
mind is absorbed in educational work.
Although not republican, still, fellow
teachers of Shiawassee county, l shall cast
my vote for our Pat" and so believe will
the majority of the teachers in the state who
exercise the elective franchise.
