BASEBALL.

THE STAR-PRESS. 7kank A. Arnold, Editor and Proprietor. Saturday, Sept. ”, 1895. TKHMB f 1 *** Dollar per Year Entered at the Poatoffice, Greencastle, Ind. *a secoud-c'.ass mall matter. We want a good correspondent at each foslofrice in Putnam county. Those now action as correspondents will please notify us when they are out of supplies of any kind and we w ill forward the same to them promptly Ik the Supreme Court is industrious it may possibly knock out all the partisan and silly legislation of the late Republican legislature before the meeting of the next legislature. The great draw Pack to Republican hope for success at the next election is the splendid crops and the tenetvtd activity in all the in lustres since the McKinley bill was repealed. The hope is mat Campbell, the Democratic candidate for Uovenor of Ohio, will succeed in wiping out the Republican ninj »rity of about 140,000 in (hat State, and there are strong indications that the hope is based on * lively possibility that it will materialize in fact. The Democracy of Indianapolis, have the opportunity, and they will take advantage of it, by electing Tom Taggart to the office of Mayor. The present Republican administration of that city is in very bad odor, because of Us extravagmee, its jobbery and fraud in the conduct of public works, etc., and to this record they added the nomination of Trus*Ier, for Mayor, who worked and voted against Harrison at the last Presidential election, and in addition to this has an unenviable record in a political and oflicial way. Taggart is popular with all classes, and in his long public life has kept a clean record as to honesty and capability— he should be elected, and we believe he will be.

Is New York State Platt has! demonstrated that he is the Republican boss, and his edict is law with the cohorts of Republicanism; in Pennsylvania Quay has forced his enemies to the wall and has heralded to the world the news that when he ti idles the Republican party must dance in that State. These two States are very apt to control the nomination of the Republican camlinate for President in 1890, both these bosses are open and avowed enemies of Ex President Harrison, and Benjamin is virtually out of the race ; if he starts he won’t be in it to any large extent. Quay and Platt will select the Republican candidate for President in 1S90, and Republicans will be forced to vote for the candidate of their dictation or else vote for the other fellow—the latter will be the most pleasant hour of the dilemma to seize. Safety to property and life should not be jeopardized and made a martyr to sentiment however angelic it may appear to philanthropists. The robberies, rapes, murders, house and barn burnings attributed to tramps has become alarmingly large, and seems to be growing larger. The demand of the times is that laws more stringent and eftec live be enacted to govern and control this element of our 19th century civilization. Laws to this end need not necessarily be penal, nor need those made amenable to them be considered disgraced. The hobo should be furnished work that will result iu general benefit to the to the public, and he should be forced to labor to pay for lodgings, meals and raiment. Honest tramps will be perfectly well satisfied to give labor for the necessaries of life, and dis honest tramps should be forced to do so, that they may not be a menace to good society, and prey upon the industry and thrift of the land.

It is a sad commentary on our finanical legislation to think that a syndicate of New York capitalists, hacked by foreign capital, can manipulate the financial atfairs of the country as they desire. This being of Shylocks rob the Treasury ot its gold reserve, force the sale of bonds to replenish the gold they gobbled up, and repeat the operation, and then to force another sale of bonds they agree to drop the neceeeary gold in the treasury when the occasion demands, that the “reserve” may be kept up to the standard, and the people stand helplesily by and see their debt increased with no corresponding opportunities to entrance their earnings to pay the increased indebtedness. The statesman who cures this evil will deserve well at the bands of the masses.

The next Democratic candidate for President should be from the “wild »od wooly west;” good policy and a spirit of fairness indicate the truth of this claim. The territory east of the Alleghanies has hogged the Presidential candidate business of the Democratic party in the past—it has furni>hed the candidates and States of the West and South have furnished the large per centago of the votes cast for them. The Democrats of the West and South have the power to nominate the man of their choice, if they will but stand together and present a united front. More especially is this true now, because of the fact that Western States have the best, the ablest and the most available Democratic timber out of which to make a good President.

The township trustees were in town, Monday, ready and willing to proceed to the election of a county superintendent of public schools, but the State Supreme Court had spoken in the meantime, and declared the law under which the election was to have been held unconstitutional. The decision does not bear the marks of partisanship, as all the udges, save one, concurred in the decision. The law passed by the late Republican legislature purported to be an amendment to the old law, but in reality, according to its title it amended a section of a law that was not found in the statutes of the tnate, hence iio in ’ ity. This decision knocks out ai.cilcr of the imbecilities of the legislature of 1895; the aim and object of the amend utent was plunder for the Republican

; it was °r attempt to

At no time in the history of the country has a political party had a

better time to

for a Presidential campaign than the Democratic has had for the past few months, and each succeeding month adds to its opportunities in this line. The Democratic party has safely piloted the country through the memorable panic bequeathed the people by the last Republican administrarion, and we are nowentering upon an era of prosperity that promises to be the greatest in the history of the country ; the Democratic party has given the country a new tariff law that is proving itself a blessing to all—both manufacturers and consumers; it has given the country a clean oflicial record that bears the closest scrutiny. Democrats cannot afford to fool away the opportunity offered, by dividing into factions on minor issues au-l doing the killkenny cat act among themselves. Let the motive of all be, from this time forward, unity in purpose and action, and a determination to push forward with only one point in view, and that point victory for us and defeat for the common enemy — Republicanism—in November, 1896 The American Cotton and Wool Reporter says there can be no question that American carpets are being put upon the English market in very considerable quantities. Mr. Lyman, treasurer of the Lowell Carpet Company, says we are better situated for developing a foreign market for our carpets than before the wool tariff was removed. It is a change from our heretofore experience that there should be any sales abroad of American carpeting. The efficient cause thereof must be found in the removal of republican and McKinleyite obstacles to trade extension. The Wool and Cotton Reporter is a trade organ and did not favor tariff reduct-

ions or free list extensions.

AN EASTERN SHOCK. An Earthquake Frightens Residents of Several States. Philadelphia, 8ept. 2.—A distinctly perceptible earthquake shock was felt here Sunday morning about 0 o'clock. The vibration did not last longer than a second or so, but it was severe enough to awaken people from sleep and to shake ornaments hanging on walls. The direction of the shock was from southeast to north-northwest. New York, Sept. 2.—Indications are that the earthquake was felt only in Delaware, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and eastern New York, including the western part of Long Island. From no place is there any record of disaster or serious damage. In most places the nature of the shock seems scarcely to have been suspected. In a few places the more ignorant or more superstitious of the inhabitants were thrown into paroxysms of terror and betook themselves to their knees, their prayers and their Bibles. This is the first shock felt in this part of the United States since IS83.

CHOLERA IN HAWAII. The Dreadful DiHeatse (lets Its Grip on Honolulu. San Francisco, Aug. 31.—The steamer Monovvi, whicli arrived Friday night from Australian ports, did not stop at Honolulu.

There had been eight deaths from the disease among the natives and Chinese. Portland, Ore., Sept. 4.—The prevalence of cholera in Honolulu and the orient has created a scare in this city, and tlie local board of health has adopted stringent measures to repel its invasion.
