How He Got On to It. Uew York Evening Sun. "Baseball." says a crank, "is a strange game In more ways than one. Have you ever stopped to consider how few chancres have been made in the game since It was originated? Now, do you know which discovery xiid the most to change the complexion or the game? No? , Why, the curved ball, of. course, and, strange to say, it has been the only thing that ever helped to revolutionize the game. How do you uppose the inventor of the curved ball got onto the curve, so to speak? Don't know? Why, that Is very easy. It first occurred to him when he was snapping a "whip which had a iong lash."

Gladness Comes With a better understanding' of the transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a consttpated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the ono remedy which promotes Internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, thatyou have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies aro not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have tho best, and with the well-informed CTerpvlierc, Svrupof -Figs stands highest and is most largely ci?d and gives most general satisfaction

OFFICERS DISGRACED

DCMOCIIATIC SHRniFF AID COMtfLSsio.Vcn nncxK at decatur. Senaatlon Sprung by Ex-Congressman Cooper In n Motion for Ticrr Trial In eedhnm Will Case. Special to the Inllanapolls Journal. DECATUR, Ind., March 2. There Is no county la the State perhaps that has more Democratic corruption In politics than this, the banner Democratic county in InJiana. A nomination here Is equivalent to an election, and the candidate who buys the mosf whisky and mingles with wine drinkers Is the man who will get the most votes. Only a few day3 ago David Eckrote, Democrat, who recently took his office of county commissioner, was fined for public intoxication, to which charge he pleaded fwilty before a justice of the peace. A few (lays ago Peter Ashbaucher. Democrat, sheriff of Adams county, was arrested, charged with beInsr drunk and assaulting a prisoner in Jail with Intent to kill. The sheriff went to the Jail at night in a drunken condition, and without any provocation took a prisoner named Johnson ftom bed and kicked him down a flight of iron stairs. Johnson is now lying in a serious condition. Ashbaucher is out on bail and will have a preliminary hearing on Wednesday. In an interview he admitted he had kicked Johnson, and that he acted hastily, but was in a bad humor. In the face of all this he was renominated for sheriff at the Democratic primary last Saturday. Republicans, although larprely in the minority here, will make morality" an issue In the coming campaign, and with an honest appeal to the better class of citizens be instrumental in purifying local political corruption if possible by putting in men of moral habits and integrity. The people are demanding a charge in the management of county affairs, and it is bound - to come sooner or later. An Unpopular Democrat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ' CORYDOX. Ind., March 2. The friends of Hon. "W. T. Zenor In this county now see where they made a mistake In placing his name on the ticket at the Democratic primaries last Friday. The other congressional aspirant refused to como Into Mr. Zenor's county ana maice a canvass against ninv and. con.aeouentlv. he hai no onnnsltlnn. Thfli rules governing the primaries provided that where a candidate had no- opposition hl3 name should not be placed on the ticket, but that he should be declared the choice of the. Democrats of the county without any expression at the ballot box. But the friends of Mr. Zenor. relvine on his DODularltv. had his f name placed on the ticket, thinking that he would receive a complimentary vote that would be an advantage to him in other counties. The result was that his name was scratched 136 times In the county, something that was not only not expected, but is also unprecedented. Candidates In Ninth DUtrlct. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLJS, Ind- March 2.-J Three aspirants for the congressional nomination In tha Ninth district swooped down on -this city during Friday and Saturday and circulated among the people, "fixing up fences" and preparing for the convention to be held here. They were R. W. Harrison, of Lebanon; C. B. Landis, of Delphi, and A. R. Tucker, of Noblesville. They are all first-class men and would make fine Congressmen. Harrison Is a native of Montgomery county, where he lived a number of years, and he has many warm friends here. Dr. Tucker, has been here twice, and he has made a favorable impression. Mr. Landis Is well known here, where he attended college, and he will have many supporters, end especially among his college friends. He also made friends by withdrawing from the race two years ago, even after he was nominated, in onl';r to preserve harmony In the party. Candidates for Delegate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

GREAT DAY FOR CUBA. jConclnded from First Page.) it. I do not say that the adoption of thee resolutions will necessitate or produce war. I say that It Is the entering wedge.". Mr. Cummlngs expressed surprise at the ground of Mr. Boutelle's objections. If he had read the proclamations of General Weyler he had all of the Information that was desired. (Applause.) "I will not compare Weyler with Alva, nor will I even compare him with Balmaceda. I will not call him a wolf, as he was called in the Senate the other day, but I-do say he is a monster of despotism, poisoning with his breath the atmosphere of Amcricia civilization." (Prolonged applause.) After some brief remarks by Mr. McCall and Mr. Moody, against precipitate action, Mr. Tucker secured the floor and closed for the opposition. The resolutions, he argued, were contrary to our well-settled and historic policy of noninterference in the domestic concerns of other nations. The Southern people were not for war. They had had enough war. If the proper time came they would spring to the support of this government and defend 2ier interests against any enemy; but to-day, without cause, except sympathy, we defiantly challenge war from .Spain by these resolutions.. A Mr. Bartholdt, who got a minute to pledge the support of the naturalized citizens of America, announced himself a naturalized citizen, and raised a huge laugh by referring to the people cf Cuba who were struggling "like our ancestors" for liberty and independence. Mr. Hltt closed the debate with the general assurance that we were not on the brink of war, and in support of this assurance he read to the House a copy of the cablegram received by the State Department this morning from Minister Taylor, at Madrid. Mr. Tucker and others asked whether the resolutions were divisible, or cculd be amended or recommitted, to all of which inquiries the Speaker replied that the vote must be taken on the adoption of the resolutions as a whole.

The House then went into committee of the whole ani fesumed consideration of the legislative appropriation bill.

Most . of the day was given to the Senate calendar, and many minor bills were passed. The Spanish-Cuban question came to the attention of the Senate soon after the session opened, when Mr. Call urged the adoption of the following resolution: "Resolved, by the Senate. That the President of the United States be requested to de mand of the government of pain a statement as to the truth of the charges made in a letter published In the newspapers purporting to be from Mr. Gomez. late editor of La Lucha, a newspaper published in Havana, that he had been tortured while confined in a dungeon In the bare ground for two months in Ceuta, the penal colony of Spain, to extort from him evidence against Julius Sanguilly, a naturalized citizen of the United States, and subsequently killing the said Gomez: also, to lrsist on a full report of the evidence and all the proceedings in the alleged civil triat of Julius Sanguilly, in which It is charged that the said Sanguilly was condemned to Imprisonment for life at Ceuta on suspicion only and -without evidence; also, to demand the release of Charles Mlchelsen and Lorenzo Belancourt, correspondents of the (New York newspapers, who are charged only with entering the insurgent lines to obtain information; also, to demand of Spain that all American citizens who shall be captured by the Spanish forces shall be treated as prisoners of war, and be accorded humane treatment, and to inform the Spanish government that the United States will insist on this demand." . Mr. Call read from newspaper extracts the report of the barbarities perpetrated cn Gomez and others. These set forth that the wife of Gomez had received a letter from him, written in his blood, shortly before he died 1n the Spanish penal colony in Africa. The Senator declared that Americans serving in the Cuban army were being shot to death without trial. He declared that the recent action of the Senate should be supplemented by steps to secure humane treatment of prisoners taken by the Spanish troops. Mr. Sherman moved to refer the resolution to the foreign relations committee, which was agreed to. Senator Gear presented Senator 'Allison's credentials for the term beginning March 4, 1S37.
