About Sewers.

The common council has done the right
thing in its decision about sewers, to have
the city pay for the trunk line in yearly in
stallments for five or six years and the land
owners along the laterals pay their share
That way every, one will know just what it
is going to cost him, and when he has paid
for it he is through. Ypslanti is doing this
way and only owes about $4,000 with sew
eral miles of good sewers. Mayor Glover
states that the discharge from the sewers
into the river is almost clear water and not
at all offensive to the smell.-Ann Arbur
Courier

English Reformation.

Inc series Of lectures on the English
reformation" at the Congregational church
were introduced last Sunday, by the pastor
outlining the course of thought to be follow
ed III the several lectures. The purpose is
10 be faithful TO that agitation of American
Ism which is in the atmosphere of our think
ing masses. To show also that the freedom
ana the movement in religion, as well as the
gradual growth of the thought and language
ol protestantlSm Is today as special as in the
day OF English Reformation, that speciaI
anxiety is given along these lines because
tnreatenings are directed toward our con-
stltutional liberty, that the English Refor-
matlon gave us Professionalism and Protest
antlsm gave us the institutions of our Re-
public, and the spirit which made us heir of
tnese institutions must be maintained to-
day. This spirit is threatened, and i'm the
face of this fact the true American finds his
conviction in religion, and his principles il,
politics. The threatenings to American in
stltutions have three phases-the increased
element OF untutored oreigners-Sectarian
conspiracy IN politics, and the solid Roman
church in elections-and the perpleXty is
much the same as i'm the days of the English
martyrs-partlsan interests divide the peo-
pie. Neutral grounds are taken for busi-
ness ana society reasons, and Italian ennis
saries are sent by the Pope to do secret
work of mischief. In this awakened strug-
gle, 10 stand by the American institutions
the same spirit, which brought Presbyterian
Ism ana Congregationaism or the indepen-
uent churches, out of the English RefOrma-
tion, must be chiefly depended upon. 1t Is
Tie struggle for Professionalism to maintain
that which Romanism could but surrender
IN the Reformation. In these lectures there
Is not meant to be anything more than an
appeal to the intelligence of the people on
purely historical grounds.

Has a Good Ring.

Reading your valued paper noticed in
your last two issues articles from 'Abner
ScOtt'-one entitled a straight Tip" the
other "Abner Scott writes again." The first
contains the threat of what Owosso can and
will do unless she has the Offices The
other brings out VIM. NJ. Kilpatrck's name
for circuit judge. Now instead of our
quarreling about the political corpse of
Ex-Governor Luce would it not be well
for us all of the republican faith to
pull together and secure to this
county the circuit judgeship when we
have such candidates as Steans Smith and
VIM. Fitzpatrick, with a united delegation
for either we can nominate? 0wossO with
her great vote might defeat. but our friend
Abner must know she cannot nominate
alone. Also remember my dear Abner to
treat Genesee county well; she has the big
vote in the district that OwossO has i'm this
county. THos. MCEwING.

ACCIDENT TO ED. GIFFARD.
Henry Vida is Also Injured at the Same
Time

Henry Vida and Edward Clifford had
a very , arrow escape from a horrible
death last Tuesday while riding on
horseback near Mana, Hawai-, where
both young ren are paying a visit.
According to the report which
reached here this morning, Mr.. Gift
fard's horse became unmanagabe, and
in attempting to hold the animal in the
bride gave way, leaving the rider
powerless to do anything towards con-
trolling it. The horse ran among
some trees, and finally dashed
the rider against a live hanging Dough,
sweeping him from the saddle Mr.
Giffard's foot being in the slirrup he
was dragged some distance. Finally
his helpless body was whipped against
a post with such force that the stirrup
leather was broken by the Strain.
Mr. Vida, when he first saw the help
less condition Of his companion after
the bride broke, urged his horse toward
at full speed, thinking he could catch
the runaway, but had proceeded but a
short distance when his horse fell and
rolled on him, breaking his collar bone.
Strange to say, MIR. Glfard escaped
withou! further injury than a bruising
and scratching.
Both young men are well known here,
Mr.. Gifard holding a prominent posi-
ton in Spreckel's bank, and Mr.. Vida
being a brother to Mr.. Frank Vida OF
the Union Feed Company.
