Carried." The Hartford" Day Spring truthfully remarks "The managers of the C. W.

M. railroad are sparing no pains to make it of thiHfcest as well as the pleasantest roads in the country. Work has commenced again on the "sink hole" north of Deerfield Station, and more piles being driven. Fence builders are also at work building new fences, and repairing old ones the brush has been cut'nnd burned on either side of the track and cleaned up so that nearly the whole distance, between thin place and iiangor, the road presents as fine appearance as most front yards." That favorite little steamer, the M. A.

Shepard, was the first on the route between St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, and she has continued to serve the public faithfully and well ever since her first trip her proprietors have never charged more than a reasonable fare, and they have always been complimented for their gentlemanly treatment of passengers. Now, in view of the fact that there is hardly enough travel between the two towns to support one boat fairly, should not the people on both sides of the river center their patronage on the Shepard, thus showing her owners that substantial encouragement which they so well deserve. and let live" ought to be your motto. The defeat of the Democracy in the late village election has so demoralized a few of its leaders that they have resorted to "dirt tfcrowing" at the Republican council.

The Republican, the organ of the Democracy in this place, last week contained a lot of nonsense that will have no other effeot than to create a stronger sentiment in the present council's favor. The members of thn council are gentlemen of sound mind and good udg- inent, and while they have charge of the affairs of our village they will aim to do their duty in strict accordance with the charter and ordinances, and for the best good of the Tillage and all Its people. At the end of the year the Democrats can, if they choose, avail themselves of the opportunity to compare notes on the doings of the Republican council of 1879-80 with the Democratic council of 1878-9. The Republican was terribly roiled last week because the council granted A. W.

Wells A permission to enclose their buildings, and a few feet of. unused street that is more dangerous than useful, with a substantial board fence. Tne article savored very strongly of spite, hence it is without weight in the minds of the public. Will the editor of the Republican consult his files and see if he can find an editorial condemning the action of the last Democratic council in closing up Pine street, between Broad and Elm streets, by granting a lease of it to the Knitting Works for 96 years; or the granting by the preceding council, of a lease of a good share of Vine street to the railroad company for the use of its depot and tracks In the opinion of the the granting of these little favors to our business enterprises will not conflict in the least with the best Interests of the village or with travel. St.

Joseph club and Chicago Lake Views played a lively game of base ball, in this place, yesterday. Score 14 to 7 In favor of St. Joseph. The question as to whether the President or council has the right to appoint policemen w.as fairly presented by the village attorney, Mr. Hamilton, at the meeting of the council on Wednesday evening.

He referred to the charter, to the action of former councils on the subject, and formed his conclusions from the same, etc. His opinion sustained the council's aide of the question. Mr. Jos. W.

Brewer, who held the position of Recorder for many years, and who drew up the cftarter, says it was intended from the first that the council should have the appointment of the police, the President to appoint specials only on such occasions as the 4t.h of July, circus days, or in cases of emergency--when the council was not in session and the peace and safety of the village required such extra protection. Mr. Warren Chapman, who assisted on the charter, coincides with the views of Mr. Brewer and Mr. Hamilton.

4 The 54-hour go-as-you-please contest opened at Preston Hall, on Wednesdsiy at 6 o'clock, and closed last night at 10:50. The following prizes were contested for: First prize, second prize, third prize, $25. The following gentlemen took part in the race: II. D. Worn and Lew.

Twenty-nine trips around the hall were necessary for a mile. At times the contest between Worn, who ed from a rupture sustained in the Nilea walk, and Hawkins was quite close. All the walkers showed good pluck and endurance. Chas. Keeler was scorer, and Dick Lysaight acted as door-keeper.

MAUH, Master. A Reply. EDITOR TRAVELER-HERALD In your issue of last week was published the proceedings of the common council of this village, whereby it appears that an attempt was made to deprive me of my authority as a policeman and at the same time gratify the malice of an enemy by degrading, injuring and villify- ing me in public opinion. The opinion is entertained by many of the people of this village that a majority of the common council is owned and controlled by a man whose former greatness seems to have dwindled away to an ambition which is satisfied and pleased with a quarrel with a poor devil like myself. According to the laws of chivalry and decency that one who seeks to engage in a broil or combat with one of less power, and who is deemed an inferior, taking advantage of superior position to bit a man when he is down, is regarded as a cowardly dog.

The case is as follows: Prior to the incoming of the present council I was, and am still, employed as night-watch by over two-thirds of the business men of the village who pay for such service. In that capacity, without the power to arrest, I am at the mercy of the burglar, thief and incen- dary, and I cannot do my duty to the business men who employ me. Being advised of the provisions of the charter. I applied to President Webster for appointment as police, and received it. No harm could appointment, to the common council or any citizen, for receive no pay but from my individual employers.

On the contrary, I am able by the appointment to help protect any or all the citizens and their property. If the common council had authority and desired my removal it would be certainly enough for them to accomplish that alone without stopping to throw dirt like school-boys. I had injured none of them that I know of. It is a fact that I worked for the other ticket, but that was because I am a Democrat and in so working I did everything openly and in a spirit of good nature. They charge that I am under a suspended sentence for a criminal offence.

Why did they do this but to gratify the spleen of someone? It is a fact well known that there was a time when I was under the scourge of strong drink; but even in those days no one can say that I wronged or cheated man, woman or child, or received a dishonest penny in any way. But for two years I have been sober and have worked like an honest man for my living. Some two years since I was drunk on election day, and it was charged that I voted illegally and was arrested for it. The Sheriff, Judge, Prosecuting'Attorney and other decent Bepublicans connected with the circuit court, investigated the matter, and when they found the truth decided" to drop it. There the matter rests and.

will continue to rest the proceedings of other councils carefully, and concluded that the appointment of police rightfully and legally belonged to the council, though the President could appointspecial police "when, in his judgment, the peace and safety of the inhabitants of the village demanded it." On motion, the council adjourned to Friday evening, usual hour. Hi RAM W. BAY, Becorder. John Boyne's "Pop" factory, on Main street, is now in full John uses the best extracts soda water.

That it shall not be lawful hereafter at any time to fish with seines, trap-nets, pound-nets, dip-nets, or any species of continuous nets, or during the months of March, April, May and June, by spearing or shooting in any of the waters of the State of Michigan, exeept lakes Michigan, Superior, Huron, St. Clair, the St. Clair and Detroit rivers, and Lake Erie: Provided, Nothing in this act shall be construed as prohibiting the sole owners of fish ponds from fishing therein, as they may think proper. Approved March 27, 1873. Personal.

Some of the coun- cil'claim to be Christians! Is that the way they help a fellow jto be. a good citizen It seems to me that if the common council acts for the whole town, and not for one man, or one party, they do wfell to show some regard interests and wants of men who employ me as night watch, rather than decending into a mud flinging machine for one man. -All I have say is, that notwithstanding the resolutions- of the council I am a peace' officer of the village according to' law, as 1 am informed by the best legal talent of both this and the other end of the county and as such officer shall continue to do my duty like a man in the interests of the public, without fear or favor.

l( meeker, strong drink Is nurlnpr, and whosoever is deceived thereby Is wise." The W. C. T. U. prayer meeting will be held on Friday afternoon of each week, at the home of Mrs.

Gregg. All ladies are requested to come to these meetings. To THE ladies, is it fulfilling your obligation as pledged temperance workers, to be seen repeatedly in the company of young men who are daily frequenters of drinking places, and who have been repeatedly seen in an intoxicated condition Perhaps your influence, properly exerted, might be the means of their redemption; but when a young man after spending a night in brawling drunkenness meets with the same smiles and pleasant greetings from his lady friends next day he is apt to comfort himself with the idea that he cannot be Common Council. The council met on Monday evening as per adjournment, and after approving of minutes of previous meeting adjourned to Wednesday evening. Wednesday Council assembled at the Recorder's office at 7:30 p.

m. Present, the President and a full council. Minutes of last meeting read and approved. On motion, it was resolved that the village attorney, Mr. N.

A. Hamilton, be requested to examine the several ordinances of this village and report as soon as may be any alterations or amendments that may be found necessary. On motion, the village attorney was instructed to procure copies of the Session and Compiled of 1871-6-7, for the use of the village. The Committee on Claims reported favorably on bills presented, which report was accepted and same allowed. On motion the Committee on Streets was instructed to confer with the Town Board, and see what arrangements could be made in regard to fixing the approach to the new swi'ng bridge at foot of Wayne Street.

Mr. Chapman, being a member of the Town Board, made the request that he be relieved from acting on the Committee on Streets, during the settlement of the above matter, which request was granted and the President appointed Mr. Shepard to the position, for the time being. On motion, the following recommendation was adopted: To tbc Honorable, the Common Council of St. Joseph: The Committee on Streets and Alleys would respectfully recommend that a sum not to exceed $125 be appropriated to be expended on the street running from the west end of the piling on the west side of Bayou, Section 24.

On motion, it was resolved that the resolution passed at a previous meeting, placing the Poll Tax List in the hands of the Street Commissioner for collection, be recinded, as the collection of the saint! devolves upon the Treasurer. On motion, the Marshal was instructed to give notice, by posted bills, to owners of village property adjacent to alleys, to remove all filth, by the 1st of June; also to restrain cattle, horses, sheep, swine, from running at large within the village limits, as per ordinances. On motion, liquors dealer's bonds were fixed at $1,000. On motion, village, attorney was requested to give his opinion in regard to the appointment of Mr. Hamilton stated that he had looked over the village charter, and through so bad a fellow after all, and a kind of 'contempt for temperance principles arises in bis mind because he sees those who proffers them so willing to lay them wholly aside, giving the offender only sweet words and smiles.

Young la- dies.when you violate as temperance women in this manner you are doing a great injury to the cause. But aside from this, if you will continue such associations then I say to you, look well to your own standing ground. Here are two wise old maxims which it might well for you to remember. They contain many grains of wholesome truth: "Evil communications corrupt good manners," and "a person is always known by the company he (or she) keeps." COUNTY MWS.
