Don't Repeal It

Under the above heading the Caro Advertiser strikes the nail directly on the bead. It Is t the point and will bear rcprinting. " There Ig a bül befnre the legislature provlding for the repeal of the law which now gives to the medical college at Ann Arbor - for a cnn.sideration- tlie bodiesof prisoners who die iu prUon, and also of paupers frora OOI county houses provided they are not claimcd by relatives. If this law is repealed it will be a great tuistake. The law has been in reality a humane one. It has done away with the business of the grave robber iu our state, and al - lowed the relativos and friends of deceased people to rest in peace, without hiilug sonie one to guard the grave for days and weeks. There is a mistaken feeling or sentiment in the hearts and heads of smric people again.st the law, but we think sonie M the genial Geo. F. Lewis remarked to a meeting of farmers at MillingtOli : " lf a person wasn't worth anytliing to his friends or society wbfle living1, there ought to be no complaint if lic was of some service after death," or words to that eflect. The provisionsof the law are snel) that the relatives of these people who so desire can claim the remains if they desiro to, and bury l.hem at their own expense, butif the county is obliged to bé at the expense of burial, then t lic remnins are forwarded to the unlversity fordissection, and a tixed prico giran to the county for the same. Talk of hurtlng the feelings of people is all very well in theory, but how is it in practice f If people have not tnough love or pride to assist in caring for their relatives whlle living, toetend of requiring the county to do it for thein, it is quite certain that their feelings will not be lacerated to uny very great extent by the law. If this legia'ature repeals this law it will make a sad mistake, in our humble opinión."
