EDITOR OF HE TIMES:
Concerning those resolutions adopted at
the recent Farmers Institute, which a
gentleman objected to in your last issue,
would say that the resolutions were largely
the threads of the discussion as expressed on
the floor by different speakers with appar-
ent acquiescence of the institute, and were
collated for representation and for rejection
or adoption. The personal mention therein
is regretted, but was put in in great haste in
the almost exact language that the party
referred to had used in connection with
Auditor General Turner and his son Harry
Turner, in the attempt to defeat that gen.
tleman's nomination. There is not refer
ence in those resolutions to a single political
question, and il they are not what they
should be, If the gentleman who objects to
them would take up each paragraph therein
and show its falsity or lack of practicability,
he would be a contributor to the pubic
good. The farmers have right to consider
questions wherein they think matters might
be changed to their benefit, and they as

DOUBTED ENFORCEMENT.
Local Option Defeated by Pears and Lack
of Faith.

Oh taltn.
Fear of higher taxes, q belief that the
business interests of the county would be
badly injured and the most deplorable idea
that the law would not be properly enforced,
were the causes that defeated in Shiawassee
county last Monday the proposition to pre-
vent the manufacture or sale of liquors in
the county. We believe the vote expressed
the honest opinion of the citizens and as a
large vote was cast it Is evident that the
people were intensely interested In the
question at issue. We believe that unless
the majority for local option had been, as
some hoped and expected it would be, a
large one, 1t is better that 1t was defeated,
because with an almost equally divided sem
timent a strict enforcement of the law could
hardly be- expected.
We do not believe the cost of the election
is wasted money and hope that it may, as 1t
should, result in stricter enforcement Of
the present most complete high license law
Below we give the maj0rities for and against
the proposition In the different voting pre-
clncts:
In Owosso city total Of 1856 votes was
polled, being only about 200 less than the
number cast at the city election last spring.

Livingston. May 27.-Every arrange
ment is being made for the proper OBJ
servance here of Memorial day. Never
more forcibly was verified the truth of
the old adage that Time heals all
wounds" than in the almost total dis
appearance at this date of those bitter
animosities and resentments which
were engendered between the North
and the South during the four long
and memorable years i'm which was
waged the most appalling fratricidal
struggle OF all history, which baptized
a nation in its own blood, through the
yielding up by hundreds of thousands
of men of their lives, as the supreme.
crucial test OF their patriotism. devo-
tion TO principle and heroism In de-
fense OF their homes and firesides.
The annual Memorial day exercises
have had a potent influence in wiping
out the bitterness caused by the war
and ushering i'm the present era of good
feeling and unity.
That the same spirit OF patriotism
which was exhibited in the days of the
civil war still thrills and animates the
breasts of the survivors OF that san
culinary struggle. and that IL Is also an
inherent emotion OF the generation
now succeeding them, is amply demon
strated by the almost universal parti-
cipation In the services OF Memorial
day in commemoration Of the deeds Of
devotion, loyalty and self-sacrince OF
the sleeping union and confederate he
roes, whose graves consecrate alike the
southern valley. the northern hillside
and the western plain and mount. Nor
is IL alone to the departed heroes Of
the war that we owe a debt of graft
tude: the surviving veterans also are

lieve he will make an honest, con
scientious officer, and will look
closely uftnr the interests of the

vIRGINIA's ZOE MINE.
1t Is One of the Greatest yyontl-
ers inThis Country.

Il efS III ntElllS country
One of the greatest curiosities in
the United States, or in the world,
perhaps, is the wonderful ledge of
ice which exists, even in the midst
of the hottest summer, in Scott
county, Va, This natural icehouse
is situated on the north side of
Stone mountain and about six
miles from the mouth of a small
stream known as Stoney creek.
The marvel is said to have been
known to at least one of the early
settlers, a Mr.. Danridge, who, it is
alleged, discovered it while deer
hunting away back in 1880. Owing
to the fact that thu land ON which
it was situated could not be bought.
Mr. Danridge positively refused TO
tell of the whereabouts of the ice
ledge, and only visited the place
when it was absolutely necessary to
obtain asupply to beused in case of
sickness,
The old man died many years
ago, and from that time until 1893
the location of Danridge's ice mine
was unknown, the old gentleman
having mover even taken his owtl
family into the secret.
In the year last mentioned, how
ever, party ofherb diggers visited
the unfrequented region contigu.
ous to Stone mountain and were
fortunate enough to rediscovor the
lost ice mine.
During two or three months in
the middle of summer the ice is
only protected from the SUMS rays
by u thick growth of moss. The
formation of the ice layeris similar
to that of coal vein, being thin in
some places and thicker in others,
the average thickness being about
four feet. Persons of some scien-
tifio attainments who have visited
tho place for the purpose of study
ing tho wonder say that it has the
appearance of having been there
since the time of the ice age,whioh
the geologists talk so much about.
Another plausible theory is that
somewhere beneath the bed is stu
ated great natural laboratory
where ether is constantly formed
and expelled, and that the process
of freezing is now constantly going
on. Whatever view is taken it is
one of the greatest natural wond-
ers the State affords. ST. Louis

n,l,e Modest Deserters.

Il
The great work of reorgenizing
the Democratic party and provid-
ing for it's future is being gratui-
Itously undertaken with energy
and enthusiasm by gentlemen
whose conspicuous and only claim
to fitness for the weighty task is
the success of their treason to the
party for which they now modestly
assume to speak. Solicitude for
the future of Democracy by gem
tlemen who are still a-tremble with
Joyous excitement over Republi-
can victory is new phenomenon
in American politics, and one for
which everybody with sense of
humor feels grateful.
The Republican Democrats,
though they may not accomplish
much in the way of blazing path
for the footsteps of the party into
which they have driven their
knives, are certain to prepare for
themselves surprise that will
prove stunning. In their deser-
ton of the regular nominees of
the regulor National Convention
they were accompanied by great
many newspapers. These latter
are capable of lifting a loud and
imposing voice, and it will not be
long ere they have apparently con-
vinced themselves that there are
very few Democrats left in the
country except those who have re-
ceived the warm and well-earned
thanks of Major Mckinley. They
will also try to convince themselves,
and seek to convince their readers,
that deserters alone arc entitled to
command tho army. All who have
stood faithfully by the colors and
so nearly carried the day will be
described as "disturbers," free-sil-
yer lunatics," free rioters" and
anarchists" The dream of leader
ship will last till about the Spring
of 1900, perhaps, when the shock
ing discovery will be made by the
deserters that the millions of citi-
zens who compose the Democratic
party have memories, common
sense and tho capacity to think
for themselves. When the next
National Convention meets it will
be convention of Democrats, and
as such will declare the policy of
the party without reference to the
orders or wishes of the persons who
brought about this years defeat.
The Democratic party requires
no recognizing. tits a very large,
ardent and resolute body of Amer
leans possessing principles and fa-
voring policies which insure it all
the organization it may stand in
need of The anxiety of Mr. Nc
IGinley's friends to volunteer as
commissioned officers of the party
and lead 1T away from DemOcratlc
on to Republican ground is kind
and disinterested, of course, but
their valuable services will not be
accepted. They themselves are
where they belong, but there isno
conceivable reason why any gen
uine Democrat should wish to join
them.
A man can't be Republican
and Democrat too at the same
time. We commend this obvious
truth to that portion of the Repub-
lican party which is pushing itself
to the front and asking that the
Democratic party surrender itself
into their ensanguined hands,
