In this condition, and despite her
protests, she declared that her escort

CITY HAS NO MAYOR;

Calumet Mich. Oct 5.-The city of

the mines upon which 1t is built offer
to the mineralogist. 1t is an illustra.
ton. If not demonstration. of the
familiar theory that an absolute des.
potism, with benevolent despot, is
the best form of government for man.
1t is not a municipality: IT has no
organization or charter; it has no
| mayor or common council or other off
cials; but Is simply community com
posed exclusively of employees of the
mining company. which owns all the
lands and houses and every thing else
In sight, and is administered by the
manager of the mines, who is an alb
solute autocrat. The township govern
| ment is also in his hands. Under
the laws of Michigan each county is
divided into townships and each town.
snip has supervisor, a clerk. and A
justice of the peace. Mr.. MacNaugh-
ton. the manager of the mines. has
held the office of supervisor ever since
he has been in his present position:
his predecessor. Mr.. Duncan. held the
Office for thirty three years. and no
body objected. The clerk and the ius-
tlce are nominally elected, but Mr..
MacNaughton names the candidates.
lhus he is responsible for the wei.
fare of the $4,000 or more inhabitants
and he governs them with a firm. but
generous and liberal policy. There
are no saloons or disorderly houses;
no liquor is sold within the limits of
Calumet; there is no gambling; vice
Is not tolerated, and men who will not
obey the rules and keep the peace
are driven away

quarrels, to prevent rather than nun.

to keep the Jail empty and to Danish
