Sewers AhutterS.

In the case which was heard by the
Court last week, relative to the sewer
assessments in our village, ii is impor-
tapt that our people should fully under
stand the views OF Judge Walton as to
the condition in which the matter now
stands.
The petition for a writ of certtofort
was brought by Mr.. Blunt to see If the
Court would quash the proceedings OF
the seectmen in assessing the tax ON
abutters, and the revision of the same.
which to large extent remain unpaid.
1t was felt that the opinion of Judge
Walton would settle the question in the
minds of those who have not already
paid.
The Judge gave it as his opinion OF
the law, that the first assessment was
legally made and would hold. but that
the revision was made toe late, and
would not stand against the abutters
neither would it effect the validity OF
the original assessment. He also advised
that the abutters could take advantage
of the revision. if in any case IT was
lower than the first assessment, and pay
accordingly; that is, in each case the
tax payer could pay the smallest sum
assessed against him. But if parties re-
fuse, to pay, the first assessment stands
unless there was failure to seasonably
notify for the hearing before the select
men, in which case the legislature upon
duplication can authorize the selectmen
to re-assess those taxes not paid.
We presume there will now be no delay
| in the payment of these taxes as each
abutter has the choice to pay the
smallest tax assessed against him or be
| liable to larger assessment to be
made by authority of the legislature.
We understand the town officers pro
pose to learn early whether there be any
who refuse to pay. Judge Walton
analytical powers, keen comprehension
and judicial common sense most clearly
appeared in the discussion of the matter
and fortunately eliminated the Difficult
ties from the veXed situation.

A report issued by the Foreign Office
shows that the Swiss are far in advance
of us in graphing with The hahitual
drunkard problem. In Berne a person
of dissolute habits is forbidden access to
public houses for two years, and may
even be punished by deprivation of par
entail rights. Drink sellers are severely
dealt with for serving intoxicated per
sons, persons under age, or those forbid
den to enter taverhs. lnebriates may
be confined in homes or reformatories.

Dunn's Review for last week makes
the aggregate business of the country
about tenth larger than last year but
still says it falls % per cent below full
volume for the season. The improve
ment in most lines is obvious and sus-
tained, but in some it is disappointing
The iron business after its great increase
of output of last month shows disap-
pointing weakness at all eastern and
central markets with consumption not
large enough to keep fairly employed
the mills in operation, although in struc-
tural work and in sheets the demand is
good. In boots and shoes the demand
continues large, the demand being large
ly for low-priced goods. Breadstufi's are
weaker. Corn declined l-2 cents and
pork and lard were trine lower ia Chi
cago The level of prices of all com
moditaes is 3 per cent lower than year
ago. The money market continues easy.

The question of nomination by the
New York Democracy of a candidate
for Governor is matter of great inter
est with that party now. 1t is conceded
that Senator Hill can have the honor if
he says so, but if he should be elected
and at the same time aRepublican Legis-
lature be returned, a vacancy in the L.
5. Senate would not be desirable thing
to have. 1t is probable some other man
may be taken who will unite the party.
They are bound to do that this year il
possible. Otherwise there is no posi-
bilty of party success. Coy. Flower
declines to run again.

My character to-day is for the most
part simply the resultant of all the
thoughts have ever had, of all the feel
ings | have ever cherished, and all the
deeds have ever performed. 1t is the
entirety of my previous years packed
and chystalized into the present mo
ment. So that character is the quintes-
ence of biography; so that anybody
who knows my character-and there is
no keeping character under cover

WILL THE WILSON BILL PASS 7

The appointment of Patrick Walsh
as United States Senator to succeed
the late Mr.. Colquitt adds to the un-
certainty of the passage of the Wilson
bill, even in its present patchwork
form, by the Senate. Mr.. Walsh is
a protectionist of the German school.
He favors "protection in spots"-and
the spots are those tariff schedules
which cover the products of Demo-
cratic communities. He will be the
ally of Hill and his clique of anti
administration Democrats in the Sem
ate. By his appointment the proba-
bilities are increased that the Wilson
bill will not pass that body without
the concessions and amendments
added by the Senate subcommittee
on Finance, and probably with other
amendments with similar tenor adopt
ed on the floor of the Senate while
the bill is under discussion.
Then the amended measure must go
back to the House, which body will
consider the Senate charges. The
most of these will be bitterly opposed
and many of them will be rejected.
Then the Senate will insist on its
amendments and the bill go to Il
conference committee. Whether that
body will agree, no one can tell; nor
yet whether its report will be accepted
by both House and Senate. There is
one thing unfavorable to the best
interests of the people of the nation
the bulldog obstinacy of Grover
Gle leland, which leads him to exert
every influence at his command to
carry his point. And the president Of
the United States has great power in
this regard, if he chooses to exert it.

CAPAc, April 10, 1884,
The question of candidates for the
various county Offices is being quite
generally discussed by Republicans
throughout the county. The question
naturally comes up, "Who will make
the strongest candidates for the various
ofiices?" l believe this to be good
indication, as it gives us opportunity
to find out the good qualities of the
different candidates, and better
chance to select good strong men to
make up our county ticket. The re-
suit of such selection will greatly in
crease the majority we expect on cleo
ton day, for the success of the coming
election depends largely upon the men
we place upon the ticket.
wish at this time to call the atten-
ton Of Republicans to the fact that
our county has a very large German
population, and there are many Re-
publicans among them. In the past
they have asked but little at the hands
of the Republican party. / sincerely
believe that the time has come when
they should berecognized on the county
ticket, and ! assure you it will add
strength TO the party.
| do not wish to set myself up as q
politician, or party dictator, but wish
to announce the candidacy of III. j.
Kuhn, of Port Huron, for the Office of
sheriff. Mr.. Kuhn not only stands
high among the Germans of this county,
but is we'll known and respected bysall
who have had the pleasure of meeting
him. His acquaintance throughout
the county in n business way needs no
mention, as it is very large, hence he is
no stranger in any part of the county
III. j. Kuhn will make q candidate
who will be credit to our county
ticket. re has been an active Repub-
lican ever since he has been n voter.
On election day you will always find
him hard at work for the success of
his party and assure you if he is
honored with the nomination for
sheriff of st. Clair county, he will add
strength to the ticket, and be found in
the front ranks in campaign work, not
only for himself, but the entire ticket
believe Mr.. Kuhn is entitled to the
careful consideration of Republicans,
and do not hesitate TO say If his name
is placed on the county ticket he will
prove very strong candidate. Not
only am | expressing my own opinion,
but am also voicing the sentiments OF
many Republicans all over the county
