Livingston. Aug. 1.-THE time for
registration being close at hand, inquir-
les concerning the law upon the sub
ject are becoming quite Inc
last legislature amended the registra-
good deal of the red tape of the old law
has been done away with. After the
registration OF this year no registration
is required for the period of eight years
in any district containing no more than
1000 registered voters. The books Will
be open every election year for the ad-
dition Of new names. but one registra-
ton in such district holds good for eight
years. In districts of over 1000 voters,
however, such as Butte, Anaconda, Hell
ma, Missoula and Great Falls, the law
seems to imply that complete new regis
t~rations shall be made prior to each
election.
The period of actual registration has
been shortened to six days. This year
registration begins Oct. "a and ends Oct.
20. The hours are from 8 a. m. to 3
p. m.
Every registry agent is required to
publish a notice in some paper within
his county giving the date when reg
tration closes. Such notice must be
published at least 20 days prior to the
time when registration closes and con-
tinue until the end of registration.
Agents in districts where a newspa-
per is published must also give public
notice when they will sit within each
precinct in their districts and designate
the place of their home offices. where
they shall be found when not sitting IN
other precincts, and name the exac
place in each precinct when they Will
sit.
The registry agent must require every

CLINTON MEN.
Believe the Time Near at
Hand For a City Charter.

Clinton, Oct. lit would not be at
all surprising if this town made appll-
cation to the general court for the
name and dignity of city. There is a
strong feeling among the thoughtful
men of both great parties that this
town is in all but name, and Of right
ought to be, city. This sentiment is
no new thing. 1t has expressed itself
on one or two occasions forcefully, but
spasmodically. 1t has never assumed
the appearance of a movement backed
by almost unanimous approval, which
it seems about to take
Clinton now has more than $4,000
population. 1t is growing, and that
rapidly. There is hardly two opinions
among the local leaders of the great
parties. All who are of wide knowl-
edge in local affairs agree that the town
is wearing outgrown garments. 1t is
bigger than the mechanism by which
it operates. 1t is so big that the town
meeting-the very life Of the town
form of goyernment-is not adapted to
the work in hand.
NO fact more than this" said a
prominent High street merchant, to a
reporter of The Spy yesterday, has
caused myself and others to believe
that we need a city government. 1 will
lay aside the fact of the greater dignity
attaching to the city. I will not even
urge the economy of results that would
be procured by municipal mechanism
more adapted to our need. ] say that
and most citizens-no matter what
the party-with whom 1 have talked
want city government, because the
government by town meeting is behind
us. The town meeting is frequently
no longer expressive of the wishes of
the most of the people. Indeed, may
say it is rarely So"
OF course any proposition looking to
city charter for Clinton will meet
with opposition. The opposition that
developed when this thing was mildly
suggested sometime ago, jumped into
the field at a very lively gait. In de-
gree of force the opposition is CLASH
fled by a leader of one of the parties
as follows:
"a Opposition by politicians, who
fear that they might not be in it I'M
der the change of regime.
o. Opposition by persons who fear
that it would increase the salary list;
but who did not consider If, by its
greater efficiency, q government by
mayor would not decrease the total ex-
pense Of government.
(3). Opposition by IN element Of the
press that desired to know first where
it was going to get off.
a. Opposition by o minimum Of
citizens who sincerely believed that the
town meeting is the better mechanism,
under any and all circumstances, for
communities large or small.
The loudest were the first class and
the most venomous, the third.
Gentlemen who have studied the sit
uation are of the opinion that Clinton
Is city, no matter what 1t Is called.
They regard the question Of form of
government as a question of conven-
fence merely. A city becomes a city,
they hold, not because it has, or has

BIG BUSINESS.
Southbridge Industries Rum
ming to Their Full Limit.

i Southbridge Oct business in
southbridge is booming, and every
thing indicates a continuation Of the
good work all through the winter. All
the optical manufactures are well sup
piled with orders, and the works of
the Seuthbridge Optical Company are
running overtime, and the Richard
Manufacturing Company are running
some departments until midnight The
other lines of manufacture are run
ming full blast. The large portion of
the Southbridge Printing Company are
working until o'clock in the evening.
Money is plenty with the help, and
therefore business is good with the To-
cal merchants
CANNOT AGREE.
\ The probabilities are there will be
no contest between the two hook and
ladder companies of this town, as they
cannot agree to any place for the con-
test. Company No. challenged Com
pany No. 2, and their challenge read at
any time or place. Now, however,
when Company No. 2 want the contest
in their portion of the town, Company
No. 1 will not agree to it, although
| ing of all other arrangements that
really belong to Company No. g. as the
challenged party. The matter will
probably be dropped and the $500 for
felt money returned to the owners.
1t is very doubtful, anyway, whether
the board Of engineers would allow the
contest to take place between two local
companies, even had the arrangements
all been settled.
