County School Commissioner.

The man who occupies the important
position OF school commissioner may proper.
ly be said to fill one of the very highest pub.
lie positions In the county, his duties are
mostly with the primary schools, and nc
one will deny that they are next to home
influence in forming the character of our
future citizens. Soon thes pupils will be
the men aud women of the day, and in their
training is the hope of the republic. AS
they are prepared to meet the demands Of
citizenship, in their own interests and in the
interests of the public welfare, so will they
be prepared to make success of their citi-
Zenshp. 1t is not necessary to make the
assertion that their training must be in com.
petent and trusty hands. That the over.
Sight Of our schools should be in the care of
experienced teachers, teachers who have
been found to be the right people for their
most honorable profession, but the teaching
machine must have head--a director who
is running in the proper grooves, and at
tanning the very best results to be had. No
state spends its good money so lavishly as
does Michigan to make her educational
work the best which can be devised For
the supervision of this great branch Of the
public work in this county we should have
the best supervision which can be obtained
and are satisfied that in Com. o. L. Bristol,
Shiawassee county is getting just the super
vision which we have described, and are
coming as near to obtaining the results we
all should wish to see as near as can be had.
Mr.. Bristol Is a consistent republican in
every way. but the person who ever knew
him to let political feeling influence him in
the least in any of his school work does not
live-has no existence. His mind is on his
work at all times, and he never loses an op-
portunity for enhancing in some manner the
efficiency of the schools in some portion of
cur beautiful county. There is no possible
reason for making change, no necessity of
doing so. He is at the best of his work
now, his experience having been gained in
actual work, and is of itself worth much to
our people. Support Commissioner Bristol
and advise your friends to do So

Don't Fail in Your Duty.

1t is the duty and should be the pleasure
of every citizen to vote. 1t is especially the
duty of every republican who believes in
the principles of the party and of every
national democrat to turn out and regis
ter again his opinion of anything that
smacks of reputation and revolution. In
municipal affairs there is an opportunity Of
knowing the absolute worth of man nomi-
mated, and IL an unworthy. dishonest or in
capable man is on your ticket, 1t Is again
your duty to cut his name off, but where
che man has the qualifications for the office
and the intent to rightly perform the
duties he should be voted for. In this
county the republicans have placed In NOM
ination some of the very excellent men in
every community, men whom every man
knows Is capable aud whose intention is
good. Especially may this be said of the
state and county tickets, to which many
voters give little attention, Especially in
these matters have the voters chance to
again express their satisfaction in republic
can principles and methods. We hope
every voter will be at the polls next Mon
day, and If that be the case this county
will be under republican officials for the
next year. 1t may be inconvenient to
get out on election day, but If poor officials
are elected as result of staying away, the
responsibility will rest upon those very men
who stay at home. The most insignificant
Office In township or city is as much pub
lie trust as the presidency, and should be
looked to as carefully. Turn out, and see
that your neighbor turns out.

NSee that every republican is registered
and that he votes.
The republican city ticket is composed OF
active young business men, everyone OF
whom is qualified to fill the position to
which he aspires Vote for all of them.
Stephen b. Pitts is making gallant fight
for treasurer and is gaining friends every
day. He will be an absolutely safe man TO

that an effort will be made to get every re-
publican to the polls. Do this and we shall
win.
Otto l.. Sprague is certainly going to be
elected mayor on Monday next His ad-
ministratiOn of affairs will favor strict
economy and the lowest possible taxation.
In this endeavor he will be upheld by every
one of the republican nominees for alder
man-if they are elected, as they ought to
be. Vote for Mr.. Sprague and the republic
can candidates for alderman in your ward.
The election of Robert f. Travis, as
supervisor in the second ward, will be to
the credit of the ward. Mr.. Travis is
man of excellent judgment, who will make
his assessment roll in fair and honest
manner, showing no favors. Every repub-
licen In the ward should rally to his sup
port and see that he is elected by a large
majority. Vote for Mr.. Travis.

VOTERS ATTENTION.
Open Letter From the Chairman of Thre,
Parties on the Attorney Generals
Salary.


Salary.
To THE VOTERS OF MICHIGAN:
One of the most important offices in this
state is that of the attorney general. The
salary of $500 was fixed by the constitution
OF the state in 1850, is wholly inadequate.
At that time the duties of the Office were
few, and mostly of an advisory character.
The attorneys who held the Office were not
required to relinquish any portion of the
private practice, and this enabled the PEG.
pie to secure for their chief law officer the
ablest man at the bar. In 1850, when the
constitution was adopted, the attorney. gen.
eral OF the state was Geo. V. N. LOthrop.
de was succeeded by William Hale, and
from 1855 to 1860, the Office was held by
Jacob M. Howard. Mr.. Hale was good
lawyer and firstclass business man; and
1t is undoubtedly true that Geo. V. N.
Lothrop and Jacob M. Howard were the
two greatest lawyers the Michigan bar has
so far produced.
With the growth of the state the duties
and responsibilities of the attorney. general
have very largely increased, and he should
now devote his entire time to his official
duties. In view of these facts, we believe
the proposed amendment of the constitution
increasing the salary of the attorney general
to $500, and requiring him to reside In
Lansing, ought to be adopted.

PRINCETON, n. J., Nov. 1S.-The
Tigers went through their last prac-

with Yale next Saturday, on the vars
Iity gridiron this afternoon. The I'M
dergraduate body turned out to cheer
the team on in their good work and
to rehearse the songs that will be sung
during the gridiron battle. The prac-
tice was sharp and snappy. Every
man made himself a factor in every
play. and the signals involving the
various plays were gone through with
success. The only defect appeared to
be the slowness of the ends in start
ing with the interference. The coach
ers. of whom there was a small army,
had the men on the jump from start
to finish, and corrected whatever
faults were shown in the practice. The
team and substitutes leave tomorrow
afternoon for New Haven. The prob

FOXHOUND DERBY.
Second Day of the Trials Productive
of Good Sport.

CYNTHIANA, KY, Nov. 1S-The second
day of the national fOxhound trials was
productive of some good sport. The directors
of the hunt decided last night to meet at
Robinson station. This meant a ride of ten
miles before the hunt began. But better luck
than yesterday was in store for the pack
for they had no sooner been thrown into
cover than they gave tongue, up jumped fox
and went away, they with it, The country was
open but billy and on the frosty slopes facing
north the hounds found it difficult to make out
the trail. The fox was viewed by nearly
all the hunters when it broke cover, and in
the excitement they crowded too close upon
the pack at first. The young hounds worked
very well under somewhat trying circum-
stances and by careful hunting recovered the
trail after each loss. This continued for
about an hour, the pack trailing better as
the sun got higher, and during the second
hour driving at a good pace. After a chase
lasting two hours and a half the fox took
to a cave. This was q good run, which
tested the puppies qualities.
Another fox was put up during the run,
but broke back fortunately, so that the
pack did not divide. Another fox was not
found, and about 2:3O o'clock the hunt was
called. 1t was not generally expected that
the judges would make their awards today,
but they did, placing Judge, owned by Alex
ander Gibbs from Gerard county, Ken
lucky first, giving second to w. S. Grady 5
Grace Hastings, and third to Mr. Walker $
Cricket.
The annual election of officers held this
evening resulted as follows: President, II. C.
Trigg, Glasgow, Ky; first vice president, A.
dent, w. S. Walker, Hammock, Ky; third
vice president, Admiral Jourett U. S. N.
Washington; secretary treasurer, Col. Roger
