County Board Commissioners.

The road question is very i'm
portant one to those interested in
the welfare of Alpena, and it was
hoped it would be taken out of pol
itics. The Democrats of this coun-
ty are on record in favor of the
non-partisan selection of the County
Road Commissioners, and the Re-
publicans are on record as prefer
ring to make a partisan struggle in
the election Of those who are to
manage the road system.
The Republicans, as voiced by
their county convention, refused to
lay aside their partisanship, and
challenged the Democrats to fight
the battle OH political lines. They
refused to act with the Democrats,
and the action Of the Republican
convention, in nominating their
candidates before they had confer
red with the committee from the
Democratic convention, as was
agreed upon before the conventions
were held, was an insult to the De-
mocracy Of Alpena county. 1t is
as bad as firing on flag Of truce.
The Republicans appear to feel
that they have votes enough to elect
candidates Of their own, and there
fore do not care to have anything
to do with the Democrats, as a
party. They have thus issued a de-
fiance to the Democrats to meet
them on the political battle field,
and we very much mistake the
Democrats if they do not turn out
on election day and battle manfully
for victory. Never yet have the
Democrats of Alpena county been
afraid to meet the Republicans on
the ballot battle field, and the his
tory of the past tells how the con-
tests ended with victory after VIC
tory for the Democracy.
The candidates who represent the
Democratic party are men known
to all the people of this county.
They are large employers of labor;
they are experienced in managing
great works; and they are men who
have the confidence Of the people,
who know them as ranking among
the best of the public spirited bust
ness men. II thus becomes the duty
of every Democrat in the county to
attend tie polls next election day,
and show the Republicans that De-
mocracy cannot be insultsd with
impunity.

the Supreme Court had very spe-
cial reason for being pleased. The
legal procedure is different in Lou
isiana from that of any other state
in the union, as she still holds to
the Code Napoleon; and the conse-
quence is that persons from other
states, accustomed to the English
common law, are very prone, if
legal complications arise in their
dealings with Louisiana people, to
want the matter carried into federal
courts. There is not Judge left
on the bench, since Justice Lamar's
death, who claims to be an expert
in this special branch, and so, when
a case comes from Louisiana, there
is always deal of hard work to be
done; for the Supreme Court JUS
tees are among the hardest worked
judges in the United States, and
the care and labor they bestow up
on their opinions would put to
shame many young fellows who
consider themselves as earnest stu
dents of the law. Another point
in Justice Whites favor is his COM
parative youth-he is not yet quite
30 years old. II has been too much
the practice to appoint men to the
supreme bench who are past their
vigor, and the enormous strain laid
upon them has put many of them
into their graves. II is said that
Chief Justice Chase worked himself
to death--and he 10 not the only

within the year he is to be married

The holders of the tax title deeds
in this state are now leaning con-
siderably toward the anxious seat,
as some of the recent decisions and
opinions OF the courts have declared
that the tax title deeds for taxes
prior to 1889 are worthless. And
now comes the decision of Judge
Vance, of st. Clair, that tax title
deeds for taxes for 1889 presses no
more value than those for previous
years. 1t would seem, from the de-
cisions already given, that if the
tax title deeds for all lands hereto
fore sold for taxes in this state,
were followed up to final hearing,
thousands of tax title spectators
in Michigan would find that their
tax titles will never net them many
fortunes.

Heating Iron in Cold Water.

1t would now seem as though the
common, but time-honored black
smiths forge, and all other kinds
of fiery furnaces will become extinct
and live only in the memory Of
rapidly-receding past. The forge
and furnace of the future will con-
sist Of lead-lined glass or porcelain
vase or cupola filed with cold acid
fled water, to which is connected a
strong positive conductor. A pair
of tongs with insulated handles at
tached to q flexible negative con-
ductor are also provided, making
the new forge and outfit complete.

insulated tongs and plunges it into
the sour water, which begins to
boil and bubble the instantit comes
in contact with the iron, which, in
remarkable short space of time,
turns to a red and then to a white
heat, ready for the work of the
smith.
So rapidly is the heating done,
that the water and the portion of
the iron not immersed in the water
is but slightly warmed.
The principle involved in this
process is the same as in incandes-
cent electric light. Resistance pro-
duces the light and heat. 1t is said
that enormous heat can be produced
by the method, much greater than
is necessary to extract the iron from
the most refractory ores.
Like all, or nearly all, of the late
practical applications of electricity
this discovery will, no doubt lead
to marvellous results in the perfect
and rapid handling Of heavy iron
and steel plates and bars that have
to be hammered and welded, and
more valuable still for tempering
purposes, as the required heat for
the immersed portion can be quick
ly obtained, while the remainingpor-
ton is kept comparatively cool
which cannot be done by present
methods. BY electricity we live
and move, and by electricity some
of us die.--Mechanical News.

The breath of a chronic catarrh patiel

The breath of chronic catarrh patient
is often so offensive that he becomes an
object Of disgust. After a time ulcers-

BERLIN CALMS DOWN.
The Now Chancellor He ciSs the Aspirations
 of Count Zu Eni.nberS.

BERLIN, Oct. 3o.-Pnbllc opinion is fast recovering from tho shock of tho min istcrial crisis. There is feslinC oy TO- lief that 1t has not turned out worse, and that the long threatened storm has burst and cleared the atmosphere.
 It Is understood that the emperor has accepted tho new chancellor's view that tho appointment of reautionary Protss- tant like Count zu Eulenbery as governor of Alsace- Lorraine would create bad feel Ing in that province. His majesty has summoned Prince Hohenlohe- LanHen- burg, head of tho Neuenstcin line of the Hohonlohes, to Potsdam us n possible gov crnor of the Reichland.
 His majesty's desiro to appoint Count gu Eulcnberg to tho highest post noxt to the echancollorship with a salary of $3O, OGO dollars higher than the chancellor re- ceives, as compensation for the slights cast upon him in tho Caprivite press, is O further instance of tho intrusion of i'm perial feeling into the government of tho country which is little likely to enlist popular approval.
 Prince Hohcnloho- Langenberg Is an uncle of tho emperor. He belongs to the Gleichon- Leiningen families He was formerly q member of the Free Conserva- tive party in parliament and has taken deep interost in colonial matters He has made no particular IT ark in politics. The other candidates for tho same post arc General von Los. Prince Frederick Ho- henzollern and General Count von Wal iersec It is believed that Prince Hohen- lohe- Langonberg has the best chance of appointment.
 The reduction of Prince von Ifohen- lohe's salary by his appointment to the chancellorship from $42. 300 to Sl3, 5O0 Is of little consequence to him, he being very wealthy. Hc is no speaker so Dr yon BocttiChcr. imperial minister of tho interior and representative of the chan cellor will have the task in tho rcichstag Of speaking on home affairs for the gov ernmcnt. while Baron Mareschall von Biebcrstein, the foreign minister, will speak on foreign affairs.
 Tho countermanding of a summons foy a meeting of the cabinet at noon yester day gave riso 10 now rumors of pro lonGntIon of the crisis and further resig nations, but so far nothing has transpired officially. though a report Is current that Dr. Hermann von Schelling, Prussian minister of justice, hnd resigned.
 It Is stated that Count von Caprivi will bo made a colonel general.
