The City Ticket.

The dates having been fixed for the re-
publican caucuses and city convention, as
piring candidates are beginning to make
themselves known. There are 80 many
names mentioned for ward officers that we
shall not attempt to give even q partial list
our hope Is that the best man will win In
each contest For supervisors 1t Is general
ly conceded that j. h. Laverock. Julius
Frieseke, J. l.. Curtis and NJ. l.. Parker
will be re-n0minated.
At present there are no avowed candidates
for mayor In the field. The names of J.W.
Jordan. j. II. Robbins, 1. G. Curry and W..
II. Bigelow are freely mentioned by their
friends.
John L. Ash Ii almost certain to be unan-
imously re. nominated for city clerk and
by the same method T. N. Wiley will prob
ably be nominated for city treasurer. Mr..
Ash Is entitled by his faithful service dur
ing the past year to place on the ticket.
while Mr.. Wiley will prove to be popular
candidate and an efficient officer.
For justice of the peace two candidates
have already appeared, w. ID. Royce and K.
p. Turner.
THE TIMES urges every republican In the
city to attend the caucuses on Tuesday
evening next.

The appointment OF Chase s. Osborn, or
Sault Ste. Marie, to the Office of railroad
commissioner Is without exception the best
appointment made by Governor Pingree this
year. Mr.. Osborn, who Is the editor and
proprietor of the Sault Ste. Marie News and
and one of the most popular newspaper men
In the state, has just finished serving four
years term as game warden, and the record
he made while In that Office was revelation
to everybody. 1t is needless to say that the
same energy will be carried into the office
of railroad commissioner, and that Mr.. Os-
born's work IN this Office will be another
revelation of what man Of marked ability,
tireless energy, and determined persever'
ance can do. A better man for the place
could not have been found.

Still More Counter feiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an.
other band of cOunterfeiters, and secured q
large quantity of bogus bills, which are 80
cleverly executed that the average person
would never suspect them of being spuri-
Gus. Things of great value are always
selected by c0unterfeiters for imitation,
notably the celebrated H0stetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which has many imitat0rs but
no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipatiOn, nervousness and general debility.
The Bitters set things right In the stom-
ach, and when the stomach Is In good
order 1t makes good blood and plenty of II.
In this manner the Btters get at the seat of
strength and vitality, and restore vigor TO
the weak and debilitated. Bew are OF

The denomination of Judge Stearns r.
Smith meets the hearty approval of the
voters Of the county without regard to
party. While the politics of the country
make It q political Office, yet the people OF
our country have been generally non-parti-
san In their voting to have an upright, cap.
able and honest man for judge-the most
essential point-and In Judge Smith we find
these points happily combined. This as
sures him the unanimous vote OF the re.
publicans and large vote from the oppos-
tion parties. His administration of the law
has been satisfactory to the voters Of the
county. --COrunna Journal.

The Lansing correspondent of the Grand
Rapids Herald has the following to say con-
corning Senator Collingwood: One of the
amendments to the constitution to be sub
mitted to the people at the coming cleo ion
is that proposing to embark the state In the
business of doing Its own printing. The
measure was pushed through the legislature
by Senator Charles B. Collingwood, Of Lam
sing, and he will watch Its career at the
polls with considerable anxiety. For q
man who is always thoroughly In earnest,
Senator Collingwood extracts as much pleas
ure from life as though he was gentleman
Of leisure. He is never too busy for joke,
and q pleasant story is a tonic to which he
never fails to respond. He Is Immensely
popular in Lansing, where he Is city ct.
torney.

The Circuit Judgeship.

Among all the positions which universal
custom has long decreed should be filed by
men who are especially trained In the work
they are called on to perform are those of
the judiciary, and in no other place have
men always been more jealous to see that
none but the most upright men of sterling
integrity should enter. Unfair dealings in
almost any part of the other two branches
of government, the executive and legisla-
tive, will be tolerated when suspicion of
such a condition in the judiciary would
arouse storms of protest and would do much
to shake the confidence of men in the gov
eminent at large.
If in Shiawassee there ever have been
times when man was obliged to feel I'M
certain whether or not he would receive fair
treatment at the hands of the circuit judge
or when people In general had not complete
respect for the legal training and ability as
we'll as the strict and just impartiality of
the Judge presiding in the circuit, that time
has not been since the kindly face and tow J
ering form of Judge Stearns f. Smith has
graced the bench in this and Livingston
counties. OF sufficient age and recognized
legal ability to command respect for his
judgments from the lawyers who practice
before him, his strict honesty, impartiality,
aud the firm resolve that his record should
be such that when he left the bench no one
should be able to point to one questionable
action or partial decision, he has succeeded
In a remarkable degree In keeping the rec
ord of the court matter of pride to the vO-
tiers who placed him In the responsible posi-
ton he fills so we'll. His services have
been such as to reflect credit on the Shia-
wassee bar land Shiawassee voters as we'll,
while 1t is needless to say that to all alike
his decisions have shown only fairne 8
and the satisfaction which he has given has
been general.
Judge Smith has still many years Of use
fulness before him and the voters of the
35th judicial district will see that the next
six years are devoted to looking after the
interests of justice In Sniawassee and Liv-
ingston scOunties. The satisfaction which
he has given In the latter county bids fair,
according to trustworthy reports, to secure
for him a nice majority In the very home
county of,his opponent. As to the support
the Judge will receive In this county where
he has been known and trusted for many
years by those who now are glad enough to
be able to honor him with deserved re.
election, there can be no doubt, and the big
majority by which he will carry his home
city willIbe but an index of the treatment he
will receive throughout the whole county.
The Judge is sure to be reelected, and
every citizen in the county should make II
matter of personal and local pride to see
that Shiawassee's vote for him Is the largest
ever given judicial candidate.

A Rolling Stone.

Thomas K. Barkwortb, the democratic
candidate for justice of the supreme court,
Is a criminal lawyer Of abili y, but he has
not the breadth of mind, the solid learning,
the judicial temperament and the stability
of purpose possessed by his republican OPP
pOnent, Claudius B. Grant. In politics
Mr.. Barkworth is rolling stone. tie has
been probibitionist, Cleveland democrat
populist, silver democrat and mugwump,
since he became naturalized citizen of the
United States. While Mr.. Barkworth now
professor to be a Bryan democrat In good
standing his political status is not we'll de-
fined. A weaker candidate the Kalamazoo
convention could not have named from the
list of those who were willing to sacrifice
themselves to crafty the Hon. Danny Cam.

THE BIG FIGHT
Sen. Livingston Offers $4,000
Fer 1t if They viii Fight
Under Arena Club
Rules.

Yesterday Senator Livingston wired
the managers of the Fitz>immons and
Jeffries fight hat he would give 100000
for the mill. The only proyiso attached
10 the offer was that they would fight in
the Arena and under the rules of the
Arena Club, Of which Livingston is Pres
ident.
The new rules Of the club are designed
to put a stop to fake fights. The rules
bearing specially OF this point are as
follows:
All contests fought in the Arena at
Carson City must be to q finish.
In case of q foul the person Inducing
IN 1t or the person in whose behalf it i.
made shall on the ruling Of The referee
DC fined ton per cent of TIE psr.e or
stakes for the first offens~. Iwrp+r mar
cent for the second, forty Per cent for the
thiro and the remainder Of the purse
for the next ~offense, but untle. 40 circum.
stances shall a fight be decided on a foul
30 long as the principal. c.n remain on
tAelr feet. All fines go to the other prin-
clpai in the contest, and cease to be a mar,
Of the purse.
Ii case The contest shall be stopped by
or both men tooe exhausted to
continue the battle the fight shall he re-
snned between 10 O'Clock and two the
day following unless it should fall on
sunday, IN which case the contest shall
De finished on Monday. In NO case shall
a night te decided as a draw.
Hitting in the clinshes shall be allowed
with one arm free.
Inc above rule was formulated by Dan
stuart IN the Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight
ana IL resulted in a fair. clean contest for
each man knew what to exneat i'm tb.
cllnch and governed himself accordingly
Inc object of these rules was to give ,
Inc public the assurance that they wOuld +.
gel what they were paying for. and that
is a square finish fight and not a tight de
on technicalities. Under these
rules no unsatisfactory fight or iobbine
hasco could be INDUCED in.
Another rule of the clRb is that a man
VINO is once guilty of a foul or unfair !
can never fight under the auspices
the Arena club again.
