1,1 ■■ Link'll Jilw to Nothing. That wan the decision of the umpire in the game Wedueaday between Washington ami Petersburg, the former team refusing to play the game out. The Washington club is the best team that has been on the grounds this season, and it was dollars to j doughnuts that they would win, but! the boys made them a good tight. Rony Miller made his first appearance in the bolx and faced the big Washington players like an old veteran. Hits work was splendid for the first game he ever pitched, and if he had been well supported the runs would have been few aud far between. The Washington’s presented their famous professional battery, but the loeal players were unable to keep their hits out of the fielder’s hands. The Washington umpire was partial to his team and gave the home team several bad decisions, and in the first half of the eighth inning made a very glaring decision, and which the other umpire corrected by sending the batter to his base on balls, whereupon the Washington teiam withdrew from the field and Umpire Garland gave the game to the local toam 9 to 0. The score up to that time stood as follows: Innings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Washington.;...}. 4 0 2 2 0 6 0-8 Petersburg . ..0000 1 0 0—1

Board of Review. The board of review is in session and will be for several da\s. It furnishes lots of amusement for the outsiders who sit and look on whilo the members are at work trying to find out from the people just what they are worth and what their real estate is worth. There have been a number before the board with grievances which consist of too high appraise meut of real estate, and that other property is not assessed in accordance with theirs and of being the same value or thereabouts. The board has raised the assess* moots In some of the townships *ir.d also on some individuals. The appraismont as a whole in-. Pike county i«rentirely too lo^v, but to equalize the same is a matter that is now attracting the attention of the board of review. Peusiops Granted.

Released Cwriet*. > AmoDg the new laws, which bare j recently gone Into effect, la one mak-j ing an important change in the manner of dismissing prisoners from the penitentiaries. Heretofore, when a convict was discharged from prison, he was given $15 in cash aud a suit ot clothes, lie was then permitted to go whereever he pleases. A number Of the ex-con-vidts coming from the prison South were it appears, in no great hurry to leave Jeffersonville, aud this by no j means welcome increase in the population finally induced the geutlemeu j representing Jeffersonville in the leg- j islature, to draft and introduce the | new law. The same provides that the clerk of j thp prison is to give the sheriffs of the! different counties timely notice of the j impending discharge of prisoners so | that these officials can be on hand and 1 receive the prisoners sent from their respective counties to the state prison. Tljie sheriff’s duty is then to take the prisoner with him to the county seat aud turn him loose. If the clerk of the prison does not properly notify the sheriff, as indicated, the clerk is liable to a line of not less than $10 and uot exceeding $100 But if the sheriff has been duly notified aud does not come to get bis prisoner, it is the duty of the clerk of tlje prison to.take the ex-convict to tlie codhtv from which he came aud there turn him over to the sheriff. It appears that the sheriffs do not relish this uew law very much, as it requires them to make a number of trips to] the prison, and under the new law these trips are not so remunerative as formerly. The officials are simply allowed, three cents for each mile which they travel and there is no allowance lor any extras. 4»d the idea to have all convicts sent from one place returned to the sjune after their discharge, is uot a vjery pleasant oue either.

IMPORTS OF WOOLENS EFFECT OF THE NEW TARIFF ON THE AMERICAN MARKET.

Bcdnced Ditle* Have Caucd Xo Ifld to Home Manufacturers—How Free Haw Wool IXaa Stimulated the Industry—Consumer Benefited— Protectionist Pretence. Mention has be«?n made in these columns of the extnivagant assertions of J the protectionist organs in regard to the ‘ imports of wool and woolens under the j new tariff since Jan. 1, 1893, says the i Philadelphia Record. These imports are ' said to have been so enormous as to have caused great loss and injury to American manufacturers and their employees. In order to present the worst : possible showing, comparison has been i made with the trade returns of last : year, when the total imports of woolen ! goods amounted in value to only $16,- j 853,915. During the latter months of the panio ' year 1894 large quantities of woolen goods were withheld in bond for the, purpose of entering them under the new tariff. When the schedule of wool- j ens vent into effect, on the 1st of Janu- I ary, 1893, these goods were admitted under the new rates. Thus in December, 1894, the imports of woolens amounted in value to $1,943,974. In January, 1895, these imports amounted in value to $7,037,111, but in March they fell to $4,820,110. By equating the imports of woolens during the last three months of 1894 and the first three mouths of 1895 with the corresponding periods of the McKinley years, 1893 and 1893, it will be seen that the increase of woolens under the new tariff was very small in value, notwithstanding the substantial reduction of the duties. In 1893 the total value of the imports of woolens was $88,048,515, or more than double the value of the imports of 1894, with which the protectionist manipulators of trade returns choose to make their comparisons. The imports of woolen goods in 1895 do not promise to exceed tho average of the years 1893 and 1894. So much for the “flooding” of the American markets with foreign woolen goods under the new tariff. The imports of raw wool tell a somewhat different story, but one altogether consistent with the interests of American manufacturers. During the year 1894 the imports of raw wool (chiefly carpet wool) amounted to only 55,152,585 pounds against 172,488,888 pounds in the year 1893. In the months of January,February and March, 1893, the imports of wool amounted to 50,445,472 pounds, or nearly as much as the total imports of 1894. These importations, consisting largely of fine clothing wools, indicate anything else than that American manufacturers of j woolens are suffering under the new tar- j iff. They show that our manufacturers have eagerly availed themselves of the opportunity offered by free raw wool to enter iiito vigorous competition with their foreign rivals. The $38,048,615 of imports of woolen goods in 1893 paid $37,287,514 of duty at the custom house. Under the new tariff the duties on these goods would have amounted to less than $17,000,000. But vastly more than tho publio revenues have lost has been gained by American consumers in the reduced cost as well as in the improved quality of their clothing, imported anddomestic. Yet in the face of the abolition of specific duties on woolen goods and the reduction of ad valorem duties, the false pretense is kept up by calamity organs that the new tar iff Inis greatly encouraged the fraudulent valuations of this class of imports. The truth is that there-are uo complaints of undervaluations of these goods under the new tariff. With the disappearance of the McKinley tariff the temptation to smuggling and fraudulent valuations of woolens has been greatly diminished. The profits of the contraband traffic no longer* justify the risks involved in it. The ones of fraudulent valuations of woolens under the new tariff are mere eohoes of the complaints that were ripe in the spoliatory epoch of McKinleyism. Then the protectionist organs had not discovered the evils of the ad valorem system, nor had they heard of the frauds in valuations of imports of woolens They did not make tho discovery till the duties on these imports had been substantially reduced. Bad Season For “Highway” Grass. The Somerset Woolen mills at Now Brunswick, N. J., says the Philadelphia Record, which have increased wages 10 per oent, are running night and day to fill orders. This state of affairs means more “somersets” for the orators who have solemnly averred that the effect of free wool vvould be to permanent ly close down the mills and start the grass to growing in the highways of the mill towns.

Where Is the False Prophet? John Jarrett, secretary of the Tin Plate association, reports that “all the tin plate mills of the country are crowded with oitlers” and “are running to their full capacity. ” Where is. the tin plate liar who said that wit^ut the fostering care of a high tariff tin plate could not be made in this country?— New York Mercury. Trouble With the McKinley Boom. The New York Mercury says the McKinley boom shows a slight tendency to j sag. To borrow from Mr. Cleveland’s phraseology,, there is danger that if may “shrink and shrivel” on the major’s hands. Why Reed Prefers Benches. Reed would prefer benches to desks in the house..
