The only explanation that is made by
the supporters of the Dodge water bill
Of the provision authorizing the water
board to issue a mandate to the mayor
and council to levy hydrant rental tax
of 100000 year is that it will compel
parties who pay no water rent to con-
tribute their full share toward the ex-
penses Of fire protection. While there
may be some semblance of justice in
such tax levy upon the owners of fac
tories. warehouses and dwellings that
get their water supply from arteslan
wells and ordinary wells, it should also
be borne in mind that 1t will impose
taxes on property owners who pay for
water and who, moreover. will be COM

One man on the government pay roll
draws his salary but once In two years.
This wonderful officeholder is Congressman
Henry OF Connecticut, who. when the ma
tional legislature adjourns on March 4 will
receive $4,000, which sum represents his
salary for the Fifty-eighth congress. Mr..
Henry does not need the money and so
ever since the Fifty-fourth congress has
drawn his salary in $4,000 Jumps, thereby
achieving a distinction never sought. It is
believed, by any other member. There are
men in congress, and especially in the SEN
ate to whom the 5000 salary Is a mere
nothing, but they draw it monthly never

v DR.. Angel Would Resign.

DR.. James B. Angel attempted tn
resign the presidency Of the Univer-
sity of Michigan this week but the
board of regents refused To accept the
proposition. The venerable educator,
who was 76 years old Jan. I, and who
has been the head OF the institution
since 1871. advanced his own age and
his belief that younger man should
take up tho work as reasons for his
action.
His friends assert, however, that he
sought chiefly to test the sentiment of
the regents on the subject, and ri ,e
them an opportunity to replace him II
they believed he was becoming too old
fE the place. as he was inclined to
suspect from many recent expressions
of opinion in favor OF young men ns
college presidents.
That there was no foundation for
the belief held by DR.. ANGEL he had
outlived his usefulness as head of the
institution or that the board of re
gents might prefer younger man,
was shown by the prompt manner in
which the board turned down the offer
to resign, and proposed that he con-

Creamery Starts Up

In few weeks for the coming year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pfender were at Charlie
voix this week making arrangements
there with cream patrons TO ship same
via. Bellalre until boats begin operat-
IONS in the spring. An effort will be
made to interest Bellaire dairy people
into sending cream here regularly and
so tn have stations along the East
Jordan & Southern Ry. Two farm
routes have Already been established
here and the way the farmers and
dairymen hereabouts are falling in
with the system points to very sue
cesxful year both for the producer and
the Creamery. Anyone thinking of
disposing of their milk and cream will
do wei to see either Mr.. or Mrs.
Pfender at once. Tneir system OF pay
ing, which was found so satisfactory
last season, will be continued this
year.
A great deal Of the success Of a
Creamery depends on having first
class buttermaker and Mr.. Pfender
has been proven as such. Only last
fall he sent tub OF butter to the st.
Louis Worlds Fair, and there, in COM
petition with buttermaksrs from all
parts of the world won Diploma Of

THE DOG LAW.

The prevalence Of rabid dogs has
caused some agitation respecting the
enforcement of the dog tax law,
which is now obsolete, although it
has never been repealed. The reason
given by the county commissioners
at the time of its abandonment for
not enforcing the law was that the
practical result was not commensur-
ate with the effort required.
The law was passed at the session
of 1874 and provides for tax on
dogs in Hartford county at the rate
of 81 each; provided, however, that
every householder, either renter or
owner, shall he entitled to keep one
dog free of charge, but only one shall
be thus kept free of taxation, in or
about any house irrespective of the
number of families occupying the
same. The county commissioners
are required to divide the county into
constabulary districts in accordance
with the number of constables in the
county. 1t shall be the duty of said
constables to annually enumerate
and assess all the dogs in their re-
spective districts and collect the tax
levied on the same and pay the same
into the county treasury. The Off
cial bond of said conStables failing to
account aud make returns as afore-
said shall be held liable for such de-
fault All constables who shall faith
fully account may retain commits
sion of % per cent. of the amount
actually collected and paid into the
county treasury. The net amount Of
such taxes, after the payment of all
charges, shall be applied to the credit
Of the school fund.
The board of county commissioners
is required to furnish the constables
tags bearing the year for which the
tax is paid, which shall have some
characteristic shape or color each
year, and shall be worn by all dogs,
either taxed or exempted; and if any
dog shall be found going at large off

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.

Among various amendments to
the public school law during the last
session Of the General Assembly, not
the least valuable was abandoning
Washington's birthday as holiday.
Holidays for the young are univer-
sally devoted to light recreation;
thus instead of heretofore receiving
some education and uplift from a
study Of Washington's character, the
child rather lowered his standard of
life by losing the day.
We are glad to be able to state
that in pleasing contrast to this, our
schools this year held special exer-
cises appropriate to the occasion,
and we are satisfied that valuable
lessons were learned.
In these days, when commercialism
is the handspring of our national life,
tits more than timely that we should
pause, if only for day, to do rever-
ence to the memory of him who not
only conquered us a country to live
in, but gave us a life which is the EN-
bodiment of our highest ideals of
American citizenship. 1t is not with
in the scope of a short newspaper
article to critically review the life
and character Of George Washing
ton, but it is both its prime duty and
high privilege to ask its readers to
halt in the bustling march of busy
everyday life and do reverence to the
memory of the greatest of American
statesmen.
With an industry, and integrity
fa- beyond his years, when mere
boy, he was employed as the conf
Dental agent of his state, and with
marvellous good judgment prevented
the humiliation of his superlor's
army by the French when Braddock
was slain; with a military genius
inspired by love of his country and
sharpened by devotion to his COM
rades, he dared to undertake cam
paigns which would have guaranteed
defeat to less heroic leader; with a
patriotism born and buried with
him, he thrust aside a proffered
crown, successfully disbanded con-
quering army, and in his home life at
Mt. Vernon even more than on the
battlefield at Yorktown portrayed
to coming generations a noble type
of American manhood.
Great in victory, greater in defeat,
George Washington has rightly en-
shrined his memory in the hearts of
his countrymen; and every time we
turn thoughtfully to its considera-
ton we will grow better prepared to
meet the lofty responsibilities of
American citizens.
