JOSEPH b. MOORE.
EiS EMINENT FITNESS FOR THE
SUPREME BENCH Is CON-
CEDED BY ALL.
Judges DO Not Regulate CoinaGe-Demo-
cratic Congress should Have Done So
Next Republican Congress VIII DO So.

The nomination OF Judge J. H..
Moore, of Lapecr, for justice of the
supreme court was one of the
best that has ever been made in our
state. He is ripe scholar, a lawyer
of many years practice, and he has oc-
cupied "A seat on the circuit bench for
a number of years. In ability, cduca-
ton, legal equipment and experience
he is the peer of all the men who in
the history of the state have been ele-
waited to the court of last resort. Per-
sonally he is courteous, and his man
ners are peculiarly winning, while his
private character is singularly pure,
and is in fact without n stain. Recog-
nizing the peculiar qualifications and
undeniable fitness of the judge for this
judicial position, and also the fact that
under ordinary circumstances his cleo
ton by an overwhelming majority
would be among the certainties In
Michigan politics, the opposition has
adopted an ingenious device by which
they hope to accomplish his defeat.
This is the injection of the financial
question into judicial and educational
campaign-judicial and educational
because justice of the supreme court
and two regents of the University are
to be elected in April.
The state has been flooded with post
ers, and later II be with cards, eulo-
gising Mr.. McGrath and coupling his
name with the, at present, quite popu-
lar 40 to l. aspect OF the silver ques-
ton.
The hope is to float the Democratic
candidate for the supreme court on
the tide of an assumed popular clamor
for free silver.
The fact is that the question of the
judgeship of our supreme court is abso-
lutely separated from any question of
coinage or finance.
But if it were not true why should
preference be given to the Democratic
over Hon. j. b. Moore?
One is a Democrat and the inquiry
is pertinent as To what that party
Judge McGrath's party-has ever been
able to accomplish on one side or the
other of the question of national
finance? II has been on both sides'and
occupies exactly that attitude today.
The fact is simply that if relief is to
be secured, the country must look to
the Republican party, and the great
victories of last autumn emphasized
this after two years of Democratic
control and business and financial de-
preston
The scheme of the Democratic party
may be ingenious, but it is
only an invention FOR the purpose of
securing votes by false pretenscs and
Misrepresentation

"Oflu > Parliament OF heIlBlOnS
The above is the title under which
the annual exercises of the Sopho
more class in the Alma High School
last Thursday evening were given.
The auditorium was crowded with
the parents and friends of the pupils
and many were unable to even find
standing room. The latent gal
lantry in the youth of our day was
manifest when, in response to the
request Of Supt Ely, that the pupils
vacate their seats for the benefit of
their guests, more than forty boys
arose at once.
The music under direction of
Miss Smith, was excellent, and con-
tributed not little to the pleasure
and success of the evenings enter
tainment.
Every number on the program
was well rendered, and evinced care
full and Conscientious study on the
part of the pupil, as well as pains
taking work by the teachers.
Where all did so well, it is difficult
to discriminate, yet special mention
should be made of the essays of Miss
Agnes Slaughter and Mr.. John
.HnoertZer.
Below we give the program of
what all concede TO have been one
of the most successful entertainments
ever given by the Alma High
School.

lating
The assessed valuation of the

$1,000 spread upon this amount
means an increased tax of eight
tenths Of a mill on each 500 of val

eight cents on $4,000.

sort to the city. One member Of Coun-
ell said:
They say gas is short. That is no
reason at all. 1t does not matter how
short it is. the city is entitled under the
solemn contract entered into by the
COMPANY. to a share of whatever gas
there may be, be it much or little.
Again. the Company says it shut down
the supply Of gas to some industrial
concerns. All right. That is some
thing it can do as it pleases about, and
the city has nothing TO say. But 1t has
no right to lay hands on the valve al
lowing gas to go TO the crematory,
without the knowledge and consent OF
the city. They have cut off the gas,
however. without q word to us, have
violated contract agreed to by the
CITY and the Company, and then Mr..
Heard goes off TO Pittsburg and allows
the Committee on Health to stand
around like a lot Of school boys. II l
was Mayor. I would turn that gas on,
If il was the last act OF my life. IL
looks as though the Gas Company was
inclined to have fun with us.
That the gas will be again shut of
from the furnace this morning appears
certain. and of course there will e an
CHER accumulation Of refuse. Whether
it win be the policy Of the Company to
again turn the gas on tonight, or
whether it was only let on last night as
a matter Of especial accommodation,
and will be shut off this morning for
keeDs. are matters for conjecture. Ger
tain it is. that if the very moderate drop
in the temperature Tuesday and We'd
neslay nights made it necessary to shuo
down the furnace owing 10 the scarcity
of gas. there will be no further opera
tions there during the coming winter,
unless the city takes the bull by the
horns and asserts her rights under the
contract.
The furnace cannot be fred either
with coal coke or wood it not being
Quilt that way" and garbage offal and
dead animals viii accumulate right
along. In a week, unless gas IS fur
nished, the hilltop will be a reeking
mass Of filth and its presence just at
this time is not particularly desirable.

The city crematory was idle all day
yesterday, for want Of natural gas, and
garbage and all manner Of refuse ac-
cumulated at a lively rate.
About six o'clock last evening. how
ever, the gas was again turned on, and
the force at the furnace was enabled to
make some headway against the ac-
emulation of stuff during the night.
The low Of gas was very light, however,
and the understanding was that it
would be turned of again at six O'clock
this morning.
A meeting Of the Council Committee
on Health was called for four o'clock
yesterday afternoon. but the session
did not take place, owing to the depar-
ture of General Manager George Heard,
Of the Gas Company for PiJtsburg at
half-pas, one o'clock in the afternoon.
Another meeting Will be held this al
ternoon.
There was q good deal of indigna-
ton about the City Hall, yesterday, at
what was termed the snap action taken
by the Natural Gas Company, in def
ance Of the explicit terms of its contract
with the city, while up at the crematOry
matters We're in very bad shape. In
addition 10 the constant and heavy ar
rivals of garbage at the furnace from
al parts of the city, there were two
dead horses up there. One had been
there since Tuesday, in a dismembered
condition, and yesterday its presence
could be distinctly detected in the at
mosphere During the day another
horse was dumped out at the furnace,
and as there were no indications of q
supply of gas trouble could be scented,
both from these carcases and the heavy
arrivals of garbage and miscellaneous
refuse. In addition to these evils,
night soil hauling had been brought to
a complete stand-sJill, and that was
another bad thing The Health De-
Dartment and members of Council knew
nothing Of the intentions Of the Gas
Company. and this added to the indiS-
nation at the summary and decisive
action taken in shutting off the gas.
The call was issued for the meeting Of
the Committee on Health during the
dav. end three or four members re-
sponded at the appointed hour, together
with the City Solicitor. It was learned
that word had been sent by General
Manager Heard that he could not be
present. and after the men,
hers of the Committee had
stood about for a while first on
one leg and then on the other, discuss
ing the Knockout blow the city had
received when It wasn't looking, they
went their respective ways. There was
some talk of seeing the Mayor, turning
the gas on by force, and putting police
guard over the valves, but nothing
came of it. When Mr.. Heard will re-
turn. or whether he would be back at
all or not. was a matter about which
the members Of the Committee said
they were profoundly ignorant, but it
was later ascertained through City
Solicitor Boyce that Mr. Heard had
promised to return to-day, and that
there had been another call issued for
a session Of the Committee this after
noon.
The matter which creates the most
indignation at the City Hall was the ac-
ton of the Company in shutting down
the furnace without any notice OF any
