A suggestion to the art loan ladies. There is sufficient material in the pioneer roomin the court house to fix up a "pioneers' room" that would be very attractive and instructive as well.

Frederick Schmid, of the firm of Mack & Schmid, has been appointed a member of the Board of Commissioners having in their keeping the affairs of the Eastern Asylum for the Insane at Pontiac.

The people of the 4th ward will be all torn up over an election of an alderman, on the 27th inst., to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of William Miller, to take the city clerkship. As the ward gave 85 democratie majority on the state ticket, last week Monday, the only thing the republicans can do is to show their good will. It is understood that the democrats who put up things in that ward haye decided upon Frank O'Hearn as a eandidate. The republican victim bas not vet been discovered. A man named Simon Nantonick, known sometimes as Sam Schubert, was found dead in the barn of Mrs. Anton Eisele, on E. Catharine st., Monday evening, at about half-past six o'clock. The deceased was subject to fits, and the position he was in when found, leads to the impression that was what caused his death. A jury impaneled reudered a verdict in aecordance therewith. He was a single man, and had been given a home for the past few years through the charitableness of Mrs. Eisele. Perhaps our democratie friends will remember the case of Morrow vs. Horton in the present legislature. AVe believe that Morrow was seated on the ground that although he had resigned the office of postmaster before election, the resignation was not aceeptod until alter election. That is a democratie precedent, though it probably doesn't count in a rase where the same principie reverses the partios. How will our democratie frienda jump over that decisión in the case of city clerk, here at home, where the identical circumstaneee occur? A Iiarness and saddlery stock now oc cupies the store on E.

State St., lost a pair of diamond ear rings, valued at $150.

The Ypsilanti charter amendments were passed by the House and Senate last week, but before the Governor sigued the bilí, a number of the democrats kicked on the ground of the new provisión giving too much power to the mayor, and have had the same recalled. A hot fight is now on. Chas. Ganlnor, who livos east of the city ou the river road, attcmpted to get in liis buggy Monday p. m. while on Main st., when his liorse started and threw him to the ground. Before he could get up the horse had gone, headed for home. Mr. Gardner walked home supposing his rig would be there aheail of him, but instead of that it seems tliat the animal wandered around thestreets, and was found the next morning at tlie corner of Maynard and William sts. Jas. Beemis, of Ypsilanti town, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Beemis says he has two brothers living in Canada who have been engaged for many years in the hay business, marketing their goods in Buftalo. Now that the McKinley bilí has gone into operation they have to pay $2 on every ton they deliver. The market has not advanced in Buffalo, but they are obliged to shell out their little $2 for every ton they sell there. They are terribly down on the McKinley bill, and it would be impossible to convince them that our protective tariff was not a tax on the foreign seller. It is a mysterv to them, however, that anyone should claim that tariff a tax upon our own citizens. The common council met as a returning board last Thureday evening, and canvassed the returns for city officers. When the office of mayor was reached Mr. Allmendinger by counsel asked the board for a recount of the vote by which Mr. Doty was returned as being elected mayor by two plurality. The request, although made in a perfectly legal and gentlemanly manner, would have rece i ved no cousideration at the hands of that body had not President Ilowlett stated that it was no more than fair that Mr. Sawyer should be heard in the matter. The whip had been so vigorously applied, however, during the day that no one dared to act except as a partisan. If there was no doubt of Mr. Doty's election, why should the demócrata fear a recount? It would simply have been a matter of justice. It could have harmed nip one. The striet integrity and Spartan honor of Mr. Doty is such that not a person in Ann Arbor believes that he would hold an office not obtained by the fairest of means. He believes and no doubt a large majority of the people believe, that he had more votes than his republican opponent, but a recount would have established the fact beyond dispute, if it were a fact, and his politica! enemies as well as his friends been perfectly satisfied. That the majority should rule everbody desires, or should desire.
