AS a factor in our educational work, u
good newspaper is second only to the
schoolroom and pulpit. People are
more interested in local affairs than is

follows:
Dear Sir:-Mr. Baxter this morning
showed me your letter in relation to the
81 selected for the new ASYLUM.
1 have letters, kilograms and news
paper clippings, expressing dissatisfac-
tion with the decision, and asking me
to interfere. Ithink the board of COR
rections and charities were selected to
perform this work heca So of their
knowledge Of the needs of sfcb an in
stitutlon and because they were non
partisan and could be depended upon
to dee lido upon their merits.
Secs. / and Q of Act No. 2l0, 1898,
provide how tae site shall be selected,
and rend as follows:
See. /. The people of the State of
Mici igan enact, That thh members of
the state board Of corrections and
charities, shall, OK OH o. constitute q
boarl Of locating cou,i sioners for the
purpose ol selecting . 3I'e for an addit-
ional asvIum for the insane.

shall be eap&ble OF being easily supplied
with 0 sufficient quantity OF living water
for all the purposes of such institution,
and also o furnish proper facilities for

BY the act the decision of the board
is final and subject to no revision. To
be snre, { an an ey oflicio, a member
of the bo,rl, bat have never met with
them, and only know two of the mem
bers even by sight. purposeiy avoid
ell taking p0lt in the selection for two
reasons;
First--[ coull not well spare the
time.
Secand-That the board proper
might carry out the spirit rs well as the
letter of the act.
Whether they have acted wisely, 1
can not say, but owing TO The character
of the men and the time taken in inves-
tigdting the matter, it would he only
fair to presume they have given you
this benefit, whether they have or not,
neither tho laws nor con ,titutinn of this
state give the governor the power to
ch nee it.
have been asked to call the board
together ior further consideration.
Even this have no power to do, and if
| had have no reason to think it would
change the result. 1t may also be
reasonably questioned whether the
board, having now acted. have not
exhausted their power in the matter
(ser y 665, Michigan Manual for duties
of the board of state corrections and
charit'es.)
! have Just met the secretary OF the
board who informed me that the report
viii be filed soon, when it will be pub
lished and will then explain matters.
Yours truly,
JOHN 7. Rich.

Taxes held VOID.

The circnit court Of Iron county has
declared void the tax levy for 1891 in
nearly all the townships of the county.
It is u bad blow to Iron county and all
comes about through the incompetency
of township officials in levying the tax
es. 1t should be a lesson to tax payers
not to elect jackasses to transact their
official business. The primary trouble,
however, is that in most such cases the
taxpayers don't do the electing.
