THE SAME OLD TxICK.

There seems to be considerable en-
curry among republicans concerning
the report that MIR. Burhans gave out
the questions prior To the examination
at one time held in Ioeia, 10 certain
one or ones-favorites Of his-and that
affidavits are in existence 10 prove IT..
-"Enquirer.
The above paragraph Is from an art
icle printed by the Lyons Herald and
copied by the Ionia Standard. The
reports" referred TO are not new, but
were circulated two years ago on the
eve OF election against Mr.. Hale, the
candidate at that time. They now come
from the same personal source in the
ranks OF the democracy, and the fact
that the same charge has been made
against two different candidates not
only stamps the whole ''atfidavits'
bugaboo as fraud, but show the des-
perate effort that will be made by the
opposition TO land its candidate for
school commissioner.
However, in reply to the above in
curry, Mr.. Burhans says most emphat-
ically that there is absolutely no truth
In the reports" purposely circulated
by the opposition, and that he chal-
lenges any person to make affidavit
that they ever received from him any
questions to be used at regular ex-
animation in advance of the time they
were ordered distributed by the board
of examiners. The 'favorite" referred
to In the above paragraph also de-
nounces the grave charge as utterly
false, and did not receive certificate
at the examin alton in question.
Under these circumstances and the
fat refusal OF the story, is it not honor
able for not only republicans, but al
fair-minded men, to support Mr.. Bur
hans at the polls on Apr.3 against al
outrageous attacks made upon his
character He was the choice of the
large and representative convention
which nominated HIM. has always beer
straight republican, and is young
man OF integrity, educational ability
and the requisite energy TO keep high
the standard of the schools of the coun
w. Something more than reports are
wanted TO convince the intelligen,
voter that it would not be for the bes
interest of the school TO select him fol
the Office to which be aspires.

MAY RUN THROUGH SMYRNA

Since the proposed line Of railroad
from Lowell has been surveyed and
contracts for nearly all the right OF
way secured to this city via Alton, the
Smyrna people have been waking ur
to the fact their only hope of ever hav-
ing road would be lost il they allowed
this one TO pass them by, so strong
pull is being made to swing it their
way.
A delegation of influential business
men OF that enterprising town were in
Grand Rapids Tuesday in consultation
with the officials and promoters and
succeeded in getting concessions and
an agreement to have another survey
made.
The road, it is assured will strike
Smyrna if the citizens will do their
part in this matter OF right of way aud
the building OF a good depot.

prominent men from various counties

is TO win votes from Quay to the home

the case of Judge John Stewart, of Cham

CHANGES AT THE
CUSTOM House
Maxwell Brothers Appointed
Deputy Collector.
Much Speculation as to the Cause
of the Shake-Up.
Discharge of an EmpIOye Under the
Civil Service CIass-Great Sur
prise Expressed.

Within the past few days several import
ant changes have been made in the George
town custom house The notice of the
change, which reached the custom house
last Wednesday, was a source of general
surprise to the clerks employed there. By
the provisions of the order Maxwell
Brothers. of Mississippi is appointed dep
uty collector of the port of Georgetown TO
succeed Jilson ID. Entwisle, who was ap
pointed a little over four years ago ~
President Cleveland. The salary of the
office is 81, 800 per annum.
Mr.. Entwisle. the former deputy col
lector, is to be reduced to the secretary
ship of the Civil Service Board connected
with the custom house, at a salary of $3.50
a day.
Smith Thompson, the former incumbent
of that office, will be dropped. Much sur
prise is expressed in regard to the latter
change, as Mr.. Thompson was under the
civil service. 1t is said by the employees
of the office that while he was an elderly
gentleman he was one of the most eff
cient clerks in the custom house. No rea-
son was given for his dismissal, and clerks
of the custom house cannot account for his
removal.
These changes coming at this time of the
year are unusual. The present collector Of
the port. William B. Todd, assumed the
duties of his Office last June, for a term of
four years. 1t is the custom for the in
coming collector to make changes which
he is empowered Immediately upon assum-
ing office, but this year the changes have
been delayed until the present time, and
there is much speculation as to the cause
OF delay.
1t is said that when Collector Todd en-
tered the Office he found that the corps OF
clerks very efficient and desired to make
no changes, but owing to certain pressure
he was at last compelled to recommend
certain changes.
There is another story to the effect that
there was an agreement between the col
/ lcctcr and the incoming deputy collector.
MIR. Brothers, the new incumbent is said
| TO have been connected with the Capital
and that Mr.. Todd had agreed to hold
the Office for him until he could get some
/ of the railroad business off his hands
Mr.. Brothers is expected To assume the
! duties Of his Office on Monday. when the
! several changes will be made
Mr. Entwisle, the former deputy collec-
/ tor, was not under the civil service. but
| being deputy collector. he is eligible to a
! civil service appointment.
