The jSForthville Record believes that
to reduce the price on marriage licenses
would be a money making scheme,
He says; "If County Clerk May wants to
make leap year proposals a popular
institution and at the same time secure
a good revenue for the same, he should
advertise a quarter-off sale of marriage
-licenses. The fair sex always did have
a bad failing for buying something at
a bargain, and the matrimouial's shoppers would be thicker than ftys around
a sugar barrel in. the summer time."

father, but the boy stoutly denied the
assertion; his J'ather was summoned,

Lansing, Feb. 24,1892.
Editor of Observer.
Dear Sir—There have been so
many questions asked by local officers
of' various townships, incorporated villages and cities, relative to the application of the general election law to
local elections and town meetings to be
held in the spring of 1892, that I desire
to say to such officers, through the
medium of your paper that:
Act No. 160 of the Public Act of 1891,
known as the general election law, as
limited by Act No. 194 of the Puhlic
Acts of the same year,applied to all
local elections held in the various cities,
villages and townships of this State.
That such elections must be held according to the provisions of said general law,
so far as the same are applicahle thereto. It is provided among other things,
in section one of Act No. 194, that, "all
the provisions of such general laws
relative to the board of election inspect'
ors, the arrangement of polling places
(which would include the providing
and arrangement of booths), the manner of voting and receiving of votes,
and the canvass and declaration of the
result of such election, are made applicable to such municipal and township
elections;"' but the time for opening
and closing of the polls shall not be
affected by   reason   of Act No.  194.
The time for opening- and closing of
the polls in township elections is controlled by section 704 of Howell's Statutes, which provides that:'
"The polls shall be opened at nine
o'clock in the forenoon, or as soon thereafter as may be, and shall be closed
between the hour of three and six
o'clock in the afternoon, and the inspectors shall cause proclamation to be made
at least one hour before the closiug of
the polls, that the polls of the election
will be closed at or within the specified
hour, naming it.''
Section two, of Act No. 194 provides
that:
"The township board of each township, and such persons as shall be
elected therefor by the common council
of the various cities and villages in this
State, shall be the board of election
commissioners for such township, city
or village respectively, and shall perform such duties relative to the preparation and printing of ballots as are
required by law of the board of election
commissioners of counties, and the like
duties and privileges as are enjoined
and granted by the laws governing
general election, upon the various committees of the different political organizations, are h6reb5" prescribed for the
city, villaga or township committees,
in elections held pursuant" to said act;
except that no vignette or heading for
the ballot, other than the name of the
party shall be necessary.
It will be necessary to hold the caucuses for the nomination of candidates
at least live days before election day,
as section three of the act provides, that
"the names of candidates shall be given
iu by the committees of the various
political organization, to the board of
election commissioners of such municipality, not loss torn live days before
each election, aud the proof copy of the
ballot shall be open to the inspection of
' the chairman of each committee at the
lc> | office of the township clerk, and city or
village clerk or recorder, not less than |
should be counted under the same directions as govern the counting of votes
for regular candidates whose names are
printed on the ballots.
By section 4, of Act No. 190, it is
provided:
"No election district or voting \:>re-
cinct under the provisions of this act
shall contain more than five hundred
electors according to the poll lists of
the last preceding general election.
When any election district or voting
precinct shall contain over five hundred
electors itshallbe the duty of the township board in townships, and the city
council in cities, to divide such voting
precincts into two or more election
districts,"
In case the division is made in a township or incorporated village, the provisions of chapter eight of Howell's Statutes, are to apply and govern such
division.
If the division is made in cities, and
there are no special provisions in the
city charter existing relative thereto,
than the division, the election commissioners, and the election inspectors,
aud all matters arising by season of the
division, must he provided for by
ordinance of the common council. The
common council has power to make all
necessary rules aud regulations in connection therewith, to fully carry out
the provisions of the law.
In all voting xireeincts iu cities where
there are special provisions in the charter for designatlnginspectors of election
in cases of division of voting precincts,
such inspectors should be designated
as directed in the charter and would
be the inspectors of election under
the law.

years we have been selling Dr. King's New

not hesitate to guarantee them every time,
and we staid ready to refund the purchase

their use. These remedies have won their
great popularity purely on their merits.

Let us all beware lest our faith be
not well founded. Prom boyhood we
have been accustomed to a picture of
Christopher Columbus, and until recently never doubted that it was the
result of a snap shot from a kodak.
Now comes Prof. Adams, of Cornell, to
Ann Arbor, and gives it out that no
two pictures of Columbus agree, and
that it is doubtful whether a picture of
him was ever taken. Again, we*Miad
been led to suppose that the tracks of
Columbus, where he jumped- ashore at
Sau Salvador, Were still visible in the
city. Adams says six islands lay claim
to being the first that was pressed by \
Colurnbuses' "No, 13s.J* We had grown
up in the belief that Christopher's remains were restingin Havanna. Adams
says they are at San Domingo. The
great question with which we are now
confronted is: Was there any Christopher Columbus, anyway, or ia it all
razzle-dazzle?—Adrian Press.
village must furnish the ticket. They

The word "political organizations"'
or "political party" used in this act,
must be construed to meiui any respectable body citizens who are electors of
any township or election district* and
who assemble themselves together in
the manner provided by the law,, and
hold a nominating caucus oi* convention.
Hence it is only necessary.* in order
for a person to have his name printed
upon the ticket, that he,, should bjs.
nominated by a respectable body of
electors properly assembled, who are
entitled to vote for him at the election.
Any person who is not nominated, or
who is placed in nomination by persons
who reside ojtside of his election district, would not be entitled to have his
name printed on the ticket.
It is not intended, however, that auy
person who desires to run for office shall
be prohibited from furnishing slips, or
seeking, within the provisions of the
lawsr to have his name written or pasted on the ticket by electors when they
are preparing their ballots in the
booths. All such votes and the votes
