may be dangerous to the health of Admiral Dewey to remain in Mani la, but if he knew just what awaits him here, which would he choose?

EXPANSION

is a good thing when it

is exogenous, but when endogenous, it is a different thing. Too much expansion on the inside has a tendency to cause a fatal explosion.

with genuine political excitement. The crop of gubernatorial candidates is becoming alarmingly large. In the language of Bill Nye. "There are no great men but Ohio men."

THE

Anglo-American high joint

commission will make an early attempt to settle the Alaskan boundary. Until the gold discoveries nobody thought the question of much importance. Now it assumes a very different aspect. Boundary disputes between the two countries have been satisfactorily settled before by commissions and there is no reason to believe this commission will not be equally successful. i,

THE

plan for building a home for

Dewey by popular subscription will probably be promptly upset by Dewey when brought to his notice. Men of that character can seldom be subjected to such a belittleing process. The conduct of General Hampton is a case in evidence. The effort may be appreciated but the gift will certainly not be received. An act of heroism loses its heroic quality so soon as a price is put upon it. It would be well to let Dewey wear untarished laurels.

A MAN named Wilder residing temporarily in Zurich attempted to name his son George Dewey, but was prevented by the authorities on the ground that Dewey is not a name recognized in German, French, Italian or Romanish. From an American standpoint the act was probably unwarranted, but no doubt the youngster sometime in the future will be profoundly grateful that he is not burdened with a great ill's name. It is almost a crime to so cripple a child with the weight of another's name.

WASHINGTON

mob was very nar

rowly prevented from burning to death a negro accused of murder and who in seeking to escape shot to death one policeman. The spirit of mob law seeins to be epidemic. Strong measures may be necessary to quell it, but it must be done. The decision of Federal Judge Baker holding the Bheriff responsible on his bond is a step in the right direction. It is the sworn duty of a sheriff to protect a prisoner, and he must be held to that responsibility if the dignity of the law is to be upheld. It is a very rare occurrence that a sheriff makes even a semblance of an attempt to keep a prisoner from the clutches of a mob. A few more decisions like that of Judge Baker and a decided chauge will take place in this respect. If officials have the courage to perform their duties mob law can undoubtedly be suppressed.

Fish Protection.

In order to protect the fish from hook and seine, the deputy fish commissioners are instructed to use bloodhounds to trail to earth violators of the law against fishing. This is all right to protect the fish. But the question comes up why not use bloodhounds and police, [and prosecutors and courts to the same extent in enforcing the liquor laws of the state. But then, boys are cheap. It is hardly necessary for a newspaper to champion the cause of morality or temperance, for as a rule it is not upheld by either the church contingent or the tin trumpet temperance brigade. The performances of some of these people on temperance convention day, and again when the pressure is put on to stand by the flag are farcical in the extreme and not calculated to give one an ---e-s what they may say

THE WHEAT CROP

In This County Being Destroyed By

the Ravages of the Hy.

It is a well known fact thai iarmers are prone to complain about matters and things in general, and to utter doleful notes in reference to the fruit and grain crops. There has been much complaint this year about the wheat crop being a failure. The complaints have been ridiculed by a lot of wise editors who never looked on a farm and would not know a wheat field from a turnip patch. It has been a notable fact all this spring that the wheat crop would be a very light one. It was very evident that there would not be more than a twothirds crop. Now what is left has been attacked by the fly and bids fair to be destroyed entirely through its ravages. Chas. Harding brought a haudful of stalks pulled from the fields of Henry and John Harding and Wm.Watsou, located in the very best wheat section of the county which is being killed by the fly. Two stalks out of one stool produced one full grown worm, and sixteeu others in all stages of development. He says these men have 100 acres of wheat in this condition, dead and dying because of the fly's ravages. Each of these worms becomes a small lly which again lays eggs, in growing stalks until the entire field is killed. Not only in this township, but all over the county the same results are seen. Mr. Harding says the field will not produce anything. The farmer has a right to grumble sometimes, for on him falls the entire burden of society, church and state. No matter how you figure it, it all comes back at last to the shoulders of the man who holds the plow.

'i he City's Horse- ./

The item in reference to the old horse belonging to the city, stirred up Mr. Abraham and he denounces our informants as "blankety blank stinkin' liars that the horse has been sick, and has had a veterinary surgeon every time, and is fed on oats and cared for in the best style possible. He says he is old and weak and utterly useless to the city as he could not be depended upon for anything. That he has urged the authorities to sell him often, and they have refused. He would have sold him for ten dollars, and possibly could do so yet,but as he is now he is only a peice of costly bric-a-brac. Mr. Abraham was very emphatic in denying that the horse lacked attention and denounced those who told the story as "blankety blank sneaks, knockers and liars." We make the statement he desires, saying that no injury was intended to either Abraham or Kelly.

Oakie Turned Down.

The alimony petition of Oakella Hanna Castleton was heard at Washington Court House, Ohio, Wednesday. She asked S10,000 alimony. The Judge thought it was an exorbitant figure and promptly cut it down to S50 and ordered Mr. Castleton to pay up within three days. Castleton charges her with drunkenness, and in her crosd complaint she denies the allegation, and says that he deceived her grossly by representing that he was wealthy and stood high in the society push, whereas he is no good, and is worth 15 cents less than a common pauper. The affair is a merry one all the way round.

The Demand for Tile.

M. J. Lee of Crawfordsville owns four tile foctorie3, at Crawfordsvil le, New Richmand, Chalmers, and Brocton, 111., and all of which are running to their fullest capacity, and the demand for tile improvements over the country is greater than for a great number of years, which demonstrates the fact that surely a wave of prosperity has struck the farmers. Mr. H. K. Lee, manager of the factory at this place, has lately increased the wages of his employees by an advance of 10 per cent.

On Trial.

The suit of William Scott against the Big Four railroad and the Western Union Telegraph Company will come up in the circuit court this morning. Mr. Scott is suing for damages for injuries sustained while working for the above companies. A telegraph pole, on which Mr. Scott was working, broke throwing him to the ground whereby he sustained permanent injuries. The case is of considerable local interest.

A Little Farther East.

Francis M. Dice is at Washington endeavoring to have the headquarters of the western division of the rural

over-stock of confidence in mail delivery superintendent moved from St. Louis to Indianapolis.

M. J. CARROLL

Discusses the Situation With the In

dianapolis Sentinel.

M. J. Carroll was interviewed by a reporter of the Sentinel at Indianapolis yesterday, and talked as follows on the situation political in this state: "If the Democrats wish to be successful in the next, national campaign we must adopt a platform that declares against trusts, against expansion and for the double standard without mentioning the ratio or the word 'unlimited.' On a platform like that and with William Jennings Bryan, or any other good Democrat at the head of our ticket, and an old soldier in second place, our party will be successful. If William E. Myers were a candidate for the nomination he would have a very large following in our locality, but there is no reason to believe he will be a candidate. Hugh Dougherty would also have finite a following if he were to consent to run. I have just given you the cardinal planks in a winning platform, but I want to add that we must drop from that platform the plank criticising the federal courts. I think that plank in our last platform v?as a bad piece of politics. Soldiers and Democrats iu my part of the state are almost a unit in sustaining the correctness of Gen. Miles's position on the embalmed beef question. My city of Crawfordsville can furnish to the consideration of all mankind an excellent example of the way the trusts operate. Two months ago the wire nail works sold out to the trust. The plant which gave steady employment to sixty men forthwith closed down, the best machinery was removed to Anderson and the rest was sold to the junk man. The building still stands, but it is locked tight. A few of the employees who went over to Anderson to work have returned because they could not get employment half of the time. That is an example for the people to contemplate."

To that end since the disband men of the college team, Mr. Geoage Gregg has been getting together a team and the two games played prior to yesterday's game were won. The Nebraska team, which is one of the strongest amateur organizations west of the Mississippi, were the opponents of the newly organized Crawfordsville team, and Gregg in order to give the lovers of the sport an even game as he supposed, made two trips to Indianapolis and engaged Amos Rusie, the erstwhile star pitcher of the big New York league team. He advertised this fact extensively and agreat crowd was expected to see the wonder pitch. He had promised to come, but like a great many such people of his ilk failed to show up, much to the chagrin of our people who have respect for a gentleman, which this big conceited mass of ignorance is not and never was.

The only thing to do was to do the best that could be done under the circumstances, and Doctor May appeared for the locals on the slab.

When the game was called Philistine field was filled to overflowing with the elite of the city, and the crowd was all that could be expected. The Nebraska team in their practice showed up strong and every one expected an easy victory for them, but the "orphans" beat them out 9 to 5 after one of the prettiest exhibitions seen here for many years.

May pitched a superb game, allowing but six hits off his delivery and two of these were of the "Texas league" variety. Our fellows outbatted and out-fielded the visiters) and by daring and timely base running got a lead which the Nebraskaites could not overcome. In fact the score should have been nine to nothing, as the five runs made were scored after glaring errors had been made on chances to retire the side. Jones, who had played a fine game at short, made two rank errors in the seventh which virtually gave the visitors three runs. In the ninth they got twe across the plate on May's wildness, but no comment could be made as he had pitched the entire nine innings and held them down to the number of hits mentioned. At no time in the game were the crimson legged students from the west in it.

For six long innings the visitors

coi 11 net get a man to third and every point was contested until the seventh, when "home run Jones" got tangled and one bad throw gave Moore a life. Bliss hit the next ball into right which Vance and Mull both started after but both failed to get. Then Gordon popped up a little fly and Jones muffed this, both men scoring on Kinsbury's hit, after which the side was retired.

The locals scored one iu the first on two hits and a batsman hit. In the fifth five more were rolled iu on a screamer over the left field fence for a home run by Jones and a few errors intermingled with hits. In. the seventh two more on two hits and more errors, and one in the ninth on a hit, errors, stolen base and passed ball.

The features of the game, aside from May's pitching, were Mcintosh's line work in left and his brilliant throw to home catching a runner. For the visitors Rhodes played a beautiful game at first, and Bliss pitched winning ball had he been supported even fairly well.

During the game fielder King bury had to retire on account of badly sprained knee. Catcher Wingling, of the Eunchdale club, umpired fairly and impartially, and throughout the game there was an entire absence of rowdyism, and the visitors conducted themselves as perfect gentlemen in every respect.

Below is the score: &

Base Ball Fans Get a Sample of the

Real Article.

There is a strong effort among some of the local admirers of base ball to see a club organized here and play the season out with other nearby cities in a manner befitting Crawfordsville, which we are fair to state has the reputation of doing nothing by halves.
