We norice that R. B. Oglesbee of Plymouth, secretary of the late Indiana senate, has succeeded to Miss Solmon’s place in the office of the secretary of state, '
ITIB REPORTED that ex-Senator James Harlan, of Towa, will probably receive the republican nomination for governor of that state. Mr. Harlan 1s the only surviving member of Lincoln’s cabinet. He is well advanced in years, but is said to be still vigorous and capable of doing good work on the stump.
CANADIAN PoLITICS have arriyed at the crisis stage, all on account of the Manitoba school question. If the present government present a bill to relieve the Catholics against the Manitoban majority, their defeat in parliament 18 sure, and if - Premier Bowell appeals to the country on a platform of remedial legislation, leading conservatives prophesy defeat.
Ir THE Republicans should happen to control the “next legislature many Democrats as well as hosts of Republicans in the western part of the state will hope to see W. R. McKeen of Terre Haute, succeed Daniei W. Vorhees in the senate. Mr. McKeen, is one of the most popular men in the state, a royal good fellow and a railroad man who holds the love and respect of his army of employes. :
IT 18 BAID that there are in Kansas twenty-eight well built towns without a single inhabitant. Saratoga in that state hasa $30,000 opera house, a large brick hotel, a $20,000 school house and a number of fine business houses, and yet there is not a single person to claim that city as his home. At Fargo a herder and his family constitute the gole population of what was once an incorporated city. We wonder if any Noble county money was inyested there. . ;
Tuk laws as published and sent out by Secretary of State Owen contain the celebrated Custodian bill oyer which the wrangle occurred at the close of the session. Owen sets himself up as a judge of what should be made the law and takes the authority to perform an act not in any way given him by the law or constitution. Governor Matthews will except the law in his proclamation, but in the meantime the courts will be called upon to settle the whole matter. ;
A LIST is published of 250 firms and companies that have advanced wages during the past few weeks. Not less than 250,000 men have been affected, and thefiadyance will average 12 pet cent. This is one of the surest eyidences of improvement 1n business and increasing prosperity. Almost without exception the wages have been %hdvanced voluntarily, showing that when employers can afford to increase wages they are ready and willing to do so. Keep up the tariff talk. ;
GOVERNOR MATTHEWS made np mistake when he appointed Col. R, M. Johnson, of Elkhart, a member of the Chicamauga Monument commission. Through his careful consideration and active attention to details Col. Johnsén was able to get a code of rules adoptea governing tbfi competition among the contractors and thereby saved to the taxpayers of the state at least $lO,OOO. Like in all public affairs entrusted to him Col. Johnson put his whole soul into the work. .
ACCORDING to ‘recent statistics the total ‘‘banking power’’ of the world is $20,000.000,000. Of this North Awmerica (mainly the United States) controls $6,000,000,000. :All the nations of Europe control $11,500,000,000. By this it can be seen that we control over half as much of the ‘‘banking power’’ of the world as all. Europe combined. Accordingto these figures, we ought to cease being borrowers and interest-payers, but the fact remains that we send millions across the sea every month to pay our obligations. : : '
AN EXCHANGE, speaking of -the drouths experienced in Indiana during the past six or eight years, says: Although there is no such thing as artificial compensation for the loss it 1s believed that the day will come when farmers in lndiana will have to resoert to irrigation just as the farmers of California and certain secctions of -the west now do. The difficulties of irrigation are seen when i* is stated that Indiana needs 8,982,500,000,000 gallons of water annually. This would make a lake 100 miles long, ten miles wide and forty-two and one-half feet deep. it is practically impossible to get any real comprehension of the enormous quantity of water that is meant by this deficiency. but any one can readily unde‘ytand why small streams are dried up and large streams have become small, why grass and grain are drying up and forests are beginning to look as aatumn was approaching. A long continuanee of such conditions must prove disastrous indeed, for the destruction of plant life of itself tends to reduce rainfall and to increase future effects of drouth. The problem of rain making is liable to become something more N, e g
MANY ‘western towns are dispensing with their intended Fourth of July celebrations this year and will devote the money which would haye been spent to assisting the destitute of their respective localities. X
-THE Baltimore Sun says. . ‘‘Labor is higher, cotton is higher—many articles are higher; but silver lags still at the old figure. If it were the true barometer of values it ought to 2o up with wheat.” To this the Albany TimesUnion replies: ‘‘Nobody claims that silver is now a barometer of yalues. When excluded from free coinage at the mints, its value must be greatly decreased and uncertain. Suppose a law were passed to prevent the use of wheat flour in making bread; what would be the effect on the price of wheat?"’
POLITICAL FLUMMERY. We cannot surrender our high regard for so able a journal as the New York Tribune, but it pains. us beyond expression to tind such untenable edi torializing as the following in its columns: ¢'ltis of no use to protest or to argue; the plain people know that they were prosperous beyond all precedent when they elected a democratic congress and inaugurated a democratic president in 1893. They know the disaster came swift-footed and terrible, the worst the country had seen for half a century, and they know that when they had elected a republican congress last November and had seen the last of a democratic congress in March, business began to revive at once.” : Such party twaddle—such appeal to Igornant prejudices—ought to haye appeared in some other paper than the Tribune. - It would be oftensive to ascribe to even the cross roads press.
As to the facts: The conditions which led to the panic of 1893 were all under republican administration. If it is proper to charge the disaster to any political party, the responsibility must be placed on republican shoulders under President Harrison. The causes, however, were general. Prosperity had led to speculation and overproduetion through many years. Railroads for which there was no business could were built recklessly. Towns were artifically. boomed and people were trying to loaf and make money out of inflated values. There was a period of unnatural traffic in artificialities and business could not get back to a wholesome condition till affairs had been purged by & panic. It was the regular periodic monetary distress. It was the stomach ache that came from long gormandizing in pie. The storm gathered during the administration of Mr. Harrison and struck with terrific force just as he was going out of the oflice, The United States treasury had collapsed, and Mr, Harrison and his secretary of .the treasury ‘‘kited’’ for a week or so to ayoid calamity during the remnant of their lease of power. :
They handed Mr. Cleveland an impaired gold reserve and empty treasure boxes, and then went home and hurled back the charge that the demo_cratic administration had in one short iweek had ruined the country. The treasury troubles as well as the business embarrassment of the countuy, commenced under the Harrison ‘administration. Mr. Harrison could not ‘thave averted the general panic. No power on earth could. He might though haye managed the public treasury in a more business like way. It is not a fact that business began to reyive immediately after the election of a republican congress in November last or eyen after the close of the democratic congress in March. The country was in the lowest and last slump of the panic last winter and during the early spring. "The change of the political complexion of congress had no more to do with change in business and financial affairs than the northern lights. In fact there was no change till very lately. The substantial evidence of a return to good times has just come. It has come naturally . and not as the work of a party patent. Aoy
Last year the Democrats were defeated under the rule," whiwch is without reason that the party in power must be held responsible for the hard times no matter how they were made or who made them. That game cannot be worked this year and next. The democratic administration is still in power and the new republican congress is powerless. It will be retribution for the democratic party borne down by the panic to recover under the operation of good times.—Cincinnati Enquirer. : :
A Timely Warning,
The Goshen News sounds the following warning to its readers, which may be. applied to advantage to our own readers: 'L'his is the season of the year when pack peddlers-become numerous, and importune people to buy of them. The quality of goods they offer for sale, in many instances, is of an inferior grade, while the prices they ask are a very little less (if an;) than goods of better quality can be bought for of your own merchants. Patronize those who are permanently engaged in business in your own town, By so doing you run no risk, but get an honest return for every dollar you expend.
One of the Trials of Marriage. A trunk belonging to a wedded couple started from Kendallyilie and bound for Rosedale, Ind., was transferred at the l.ake Shore depot in this clty this morning. It is pronounced by old-timers in trunk handling to be a model of its kind in a decorative way. Baoy shoes, stockings and nearly everything in the line of infantile wardrobe as well as ribbons and other decorations. .

; A Hard Blow to Sheriffs, Judge Taylor, of the Tippecanoe circujt court, has rendered an opinion that will be received with strong disfavor by the sheriffs of Indiana, Heretofore it has been the custom of the sheriff to charge and collect a fee of $2 per diem forattendance on court. This fee, so says Judge Taylor, the sheriff is not eptitled to receive. The law gives no authority for such compensation to ‘the sheriff and Judge Taylor says it cannot legally be allowed. The fees for attendan-e on court have been a fat pick-up to the sheriffs and should Judge Taylor's opinion be adopted in all the counties of the state there will be howling in the ranks of the sheriffs, —Wabash Tribune. , Bubscribe for Tar BANNER. 5%
A FINE GAME, :
Nappanee Gomes: Near Losing A Game to Ligonier—lt Was Nip and Tuck After
the First Inning,
Last Friday the fair grounds was the scene of one of the most exciting and prettiest games of ball ever witnessed in Ligonier. The opposing nineés, the victorious Nappanees which club has not been defeated this year and who were just from| Albion with the prestage of haying defeated the much voasted of champions of Noble county, and the Ligoniers were on hand at the hour announced, 2:30. The Nappanees went into| the field at once and began to practice. To the observer who pretendéed to know anything about base ball they made a most favorable impression by their careful throwing "and| smart pickups, Their good size and display of muscle were strong points in their favor when compared with the yongsters of the Ligonier team. When 1t was understood that Scott would not play we don’t think that there was a crank upon the grounds that had any hope that Ligonier could win. But the boys had promised the best they had in the shop and the “‘rooters’’ hoped against hope for sompthing to turn up in their favor. The backers of the “Naps” and that club had a number of friends and '‘admirers upon the grounds who | were willing to back their team for any amouunt and not finding much, enthusiasm among the backers of the home team odds of five to one wers offered. To many this seemed to about even things up! as it looked as if thie visitors would have a clean walk away. When Capt. Reed called his men into the field for the first nning the disparity in size become most apparent. The first baseman of the Naps being about the size of three of the Ligonier team.
At 2:30 Reed took his place in the box for the home team with Teal behind the bat. | Hair was the first man up to the plate. He had no hesitancy about hitting tire ball and sent a sharp one past second for a single. Jacobs hit a nice fly into center but Vondersmith dropped it, allowing Hair to reach second. | Keliy then hit to center, Hair scoring and advancing Jacobs to third, Rosebrugh then hit to center, giving Vondersmith another chance, but he misjudged the ball and Jacobs scored, Berger hit to short and was out at first. Ri{elly then scored on Tobias’ hit to short. . Resebrugh undertook to reach home on a passed ball but Reed caught him between bases. Shrock struek out, retiring the side. Stage was giver a base on balls. Stutsman hit the ball near the foul line and Stage scored but Umpire Hathawav insisted that| the ball was foul and Stage was sent back. Stutsman then hit a fly to Berger who made a neat running catch. Knepper then hit to infield and Stage scored. Buchtel was given a base on balls, but Kegg went out on a fly to the catcher, while Reed made a short/ hit to second and was retired at first.
The second inning opened with Wysong getting & base on bsalls. Hair hit safe to cenler and Jacobs also got the ball for a saflf hit past short, Wysong scoring. Kelly hit to Knepper who threw him out at first. Hair scored on a,passed balll Rosebrugh struck out and Berger droppéd a fly to Stutsman. Vondersmith) went out on a fly to Weaver. Shobe hit to Hair who mufied the ball, but Teal and Stage were retired on strikes. : In the opeding of the third inning Reed began to get steady and Tobias failed to hit the ball after three trials, Weaver only hit a short one to pitcher and Shrock also fanned the air. Stutsman fell by the wayside after hitting a slow one to second, while Knepper gave one equally as easy to Rosebrugh. Buchtel popped ap a neat foul fly and the inning clpsed.
In the founth inning Wysong again got a base on balls. Hair hit a fly to Stutsman who took it in in fine style, Jacobs hit into short ficld and got to tirst but Kelly’s strike out and Rosebrugh’s out at first left him on third. Kegg hit to short and was out at first. Reed knocked a slow one directly into the pitcher's hands. The decision on Kegg was very close and many thought he was safe.| The fifth inning for the ‘‘Naps’ was short and sweet. Berger got bali to Stage who made a neat stop, Tobias also hit to Stage and Weaver went out oun strikes. [Shobe then hit to center for.a base. |Teal went out on strikes and Stage was given base on balls. Stutsman came to bat and after missing the first strike hit the ball for a bome run, sending the ball over the center fielder’s head. The next two men, Knepper and Buchtel, went out on strikes. | . e
Shrock started the sixth by hitting to Stage who made a dandy stop, |throwing him out at first Wysong | went out by being hit by batted ball. Hair hit to center safe, but when tryling to steal second was caught by a | neat throw by Teal. Rosebrough and Jacobs now /went out into the points for Nappanee and made saort work of the inning. Kegg went ont at first by a close decision by the umpire. Reed and Vondernsmith striking out. The seventh inning netted the Naps a run— that|is it was presented to them by th.. umpire. Jacobs hit to Knepper who mufted it. Kelly was then given a base on balls. Rosebrugh hit to Knepper who made a neat stop and | quick throw to first. Berger struck ' out, when Tobias hit a foul which the ‘umpire called a strike after it had ipassed the | catcher, Jacobs scoring. Tobias then struck out. Shobe hit a Ifly to short. out. Teal fanned the air | and Stage hit to first. l Weayer lessened the chances for run getting in the eighth by a fly to Stage. Shrock hit to center, safe, but Wysong struck out Shrock led away from first too far and was caught napping by a throw by Reed. For Ligonier Stutzman hit safe for a base, Knepper hit to short who threw Stutzman out at second. In trying to make a double play Berger overthrew first and when the ball was thrown to third to head Kuepper off it went into the crowd, Knepper scoring on’ a ‘“*blocked ball.” The “Naps’’ made a vigorous kick but were convinced by the umpire that he was right. | , The ninth inning opeied with the score 6 to q in favor of Nappanee, and the “*Naps’’ tried hard to increase their lead, _ but iit-was’ of no avail. Hair went out on a fly to Knepper. Jacobs gave Stutzman a chance which he improved in fine style and Kelly was thrown out at first by Stage. Ligonier started in to win. Reed was given a ‘base on balls, when he stole second. Vondersmith advanced him to third by a sacrifice hit. Shobe was at the bat and being genorally a safe hitterit was ;iflfibingmf:h it the score would be tied. He hit the ba hatfimg 'VMI _too quick, getting it to first. Reed who!
came in home was caught at the plate and the game was over with a neat double -play. The following is the score: : : | Ligonier.— O.R.P.[Nappanee.— O.R.P.

The Naps had defeated the Albion team the day before by a score of 17 to 20. o viieal The Naps have not been beaten this season. They had a close shave this time, however. - : The crowd was much larger than expected and everyone present got the worth of his money. _- Will A. Glatte, circuit prosecutor, and J. P, Chapman drove over from Rome City to witness the game. |
John Merritt, James Hughes, Harry Bastian and Harry Burkett, of LaGrange, were interested spectators. The last decision made by Umpire Hathaway was a close one. But he called the runner out and the game was oyer. :
One of the features of the game wias the brilliant playing of Ed Knepper at short. Barring one error he played up to the mark. Pie
The rooters:for the ¢Naps’ got in theirq‘wor'k in the first and second innings, but the home shouters put them to rout in the.closmggnnings. [ The grounds were in bad shape on account of the high grass in the out field. This will be obviated in the next game as the hay has been cut. :
Ed Stutsman’s home run drive wasa lucky hit. The ball struck the ground about twenty feet 1n front of the center fielder and bounded over his head.
““Sleepy’’ stage proved his nickname a misnomer as his eyes were alwayson the ball. He made several splendid stops of hits that looked like run getters. * e o
Someone of the followers of the club relieved J. D. Kreager of a valuable ivory billiard ball and a pool ball. A pretty strong clue was found, but the balls are still missing. : ' “‘Skinny’’ Reed astonished the visitors by nhis ability to pitch the whole game, keeping up hisspeed and curves in good style. “‘Reed is a dandy for his size,”’ said a visitor.
Rosebrugh and Jacobs, the crack ‘battery of the Naps, went in after Ed. Stutsman #nade his home run. This is one of the best batteries that has stood up here for some years. \ e Vondersmith’s bad errors in the first inning had considerable to do with losing the game for the home team, Two good balls that he should have caught gave runs to the opposing nine. The game next Monday with the LaGrange team promises to be interesting. The visiting team will be under the captaincy ot Harry Bastian, a popular member of the old Wanitas of '94.
The Nappanee club is made up of splendid looking and well behaved young men., They conducted themselves as gentlemen while in the ecity and should the club ever return they will be welcomed.
Baseball bas queer changes. ILast year Baltimore gave Inks and $2.000 to Louisville for Hemming, and this year in a losing club Inks is showing up better than Hemming is with the champions. —Cincinnati Enquirer, One of the best ball players that has been seen upon our grounds for years is young Jacobs of the ‘“‘Naps.”” He'is an all round player, one who keeps bis eye upon the ball. He is a well manne®ed young fellow and a wideawake captain,of a good team.
Some contemptible cuss got hold of the catcher’s glove belonging to the Naps and it is still missing. We can’t think that any Ligonier citizen would so far forget himself as to steal from a visiting club. The authorities should leave no stone unturned to ferret out the thief. t
Among those who took the most interest in the game we noticed F. P. Ingraham, C. W. Beck, J. G. B. Atwood, Thos. A, Huston. T. M. Eglls, Luke H. Wrigley, Elza Shaffer, W. E. Worden and B. F. /Leiser of .Albion. They all went home well pleased with the game. :
Considerable feeling was shown by the home eranks upon several of Umpire Hathaway’s decisions, and it was apparent all the way through that his efforts to be impartial leaned a little too much toward the yisiting team. His friends claim that his decigions were all right, :
Will Inks is now playing first base for the Omaha (Neb). team. The Omaha Bee of Sunday says: “Inks put up a good game of ball and proyed that he is somewhat of a run getter himself, Captain Hutch got a good thing when he got Inks.”” The Omahas won the game off of Jacksonville by a score. of 4to 3. Inks made three of the runs.
. Bert Inks pitched a game at Cin'cinnatx last Sunday and the Commercial Gazette gays: ‘‘The Cinecinnati ’players ‘were as helpless as a stormtossed ship yesterday. They were completely at the mercy of the tall young man who twirled the ball for the Louisville Colonels. There was something ‘in his teasing curves the Reds could ‘not master, and they fell before him ‘like tenpins assaulted by a skilled bowler. Over tive thousand people ‘‘rooted’’ for the home team, and the louder they cheered the better Inks seemed to pitch. In the nine innings the Red Legs could muster but six hits, and the only product of their tame assault on Mr. Inks’ pitching was a solitary run. To offset this the Col‘onels gathered four, and thus managed to win therr first game of the season from Captain Ewing and his braves.” The Enquirer says: ‘‘Handsome Bert Inks, the dude pitcher who changes his clothes three and four times a day, knows a few things more than how to wear his watch chain or part of -his hair. One of those few things is how to manipulate a regulation Spalding ball. He was the commander-in-chief in “yesterday’s onslaught. Usually south-paw twirlers fare badly at the hands of the Cincinnati team. Not so with Mr. Inks. He had the local team’s measure and made a ‘‘mess of monkeys’’ of our sluggers. He never lost aig]ht of the location of the plate. and only one player went to first on balls in the nine innings. He was hit safely six times, but the hits were scattered out through as many innings, so that they were of little avail in the matter of run-getting” . SR DY MY Swevs pLibincd b BOINAL L I R Y

He 7isr;7 iucky to be Even'.e‘
About two months ago a prominent business man of this city applied to a ' traveling clairvoyant to ‘‘put him onto a bargain.”” For counsideration this was done, Our man at once proceeded to Chicago and inyested in a wheat deal at the board of trade. He returned with a beaming countenance and a balance of $lO,OOO to bis credit. A few subsequent investments made smaller gains. This would have been a good time to stop, but he who wins a few times never thinks of the almost certain defeat to follow, - Wheat took a drop and in a twinkling $12,000 was far beyond his reach, That ‘‘tired feeling” which possesses him today is really pitiable.—Elkhart Truth. _ : = Summer Normal.
