Tennessee votes on the question oi prohibition today. Prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists are equally confident. _______ The new liquor law is of so much importance and interest to the entire community that we have decided to give it entire to the readers of The Register, although it will occupy about seven columns. The first installment is presented this week. Miss Lucv M. Salmón has not been appointed to the presidency of Vassar college, as The Register announced editorially last week, and as it would be glad to have to have the privilege of reiterating this week. W e were led into the error by a similar mistake on the part of one of our exchanges. The article was written just before going to press, and the mistake was not discovered until the next day. Ko long-winded, circus-advertisement-style of appeal to the intelligent people of this county is needed to bring them out to the fair in this city next week. This is the people's fair, and every friend of the county, and everyone who wants to see old Washtenaw at the head of all the counties in the state, will be out in "full uniform" prepared to do his or her part in the grand celebration. Every citizen knows it is his duty to attend his county fair. No one cares to be acrnsed of a lack of patriotism in this respect. There will be a big fair, and a big crowd, and a big time generally - if it doesn't rain. The New York labor state convention held last week, adopted this as a plank of their platform : "We, as a body of men representing the workingmen of the state of New York, condemn the efforts made during the last congress to reduce the tariff on articles made and manufactured in this country ; we demand, in the interests of our manufacturera and onr artisans, that a protective tariff be maintained by congress for the further advancement of our interests." This seems to be the accepted creed of a great rnajority of the workingmen of this country, especially the more intelligent class. It is also quite noticeable how quiet the democratie press is in regard to the tariff lately. They touch the subject, when they do alinde to it, in a very gingerly manner. Gov. Luce was interviewed by an Eveni-.ig Journal reporter while at the state fair last week, and when asked if he had made up his mind whether or not he would be a candidate for reelection, he replied: "I have not. There is an item now going the rounds, which says that I have announced that I should not be a candidate again. That item has absolutely no foundation. Neither here nor here," continued the governor, tapping first his heart and then his head, "have I settled the matter. 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof' is my motto. I believe that the candidates of '88 should be left till '88. No : You may say positively that I have not made up my mind on the 6ubject. The inorning papers announced a few days ago that a great salt pool had been formed, with headquarters at Pittsburgh, by which all the salt manufactured in the United States was to be ontrolled. The following dispatch to a Detroit paper, from Saginaw, says: "It is all wrong, so far as it may be considered to include the Michigan manufacturera represented in the Michigan association - the organization which makes and handles about all the Michigan product. This association is not in that proposed Pittsburgh pool, and its officers say it will not go into it under any circumstances. Michigan had no representatives at the Pittsburgh meeting that is reported to have been held, and W. R. Burt, of this city, who is president of the Michigan salt association, was present at the Syracuse meeting in July, held for a similar purpose, then said the Michgan men would not join them, and gave good and valid reasons therefor." The regular monthly meeting of the Washtenaw Pomological Society will be held next Saturday, at2 p. m., in the basement of the court house. Important business will be transacted. The committees on fruit preserving faetones and on the transportaron of fruit will report. The treatment of fruit growers by commission men ; the preparation ior the county fair ; the apple erop and other important questions "will be discussed. Bxhibit of the fruit of the season, of jellies, of dried fruit and fruit preserves in general. All i nterested in growing and consuming of fruit are respectfully invited. E. Bavr, Cor. Sec'y.
