Anent the newspaper discussion of the recent base ball contest at Oxford, It might be pertinent to remark that all Rensselaer fans seem convinced that the report published In the Republican was correct, and that Oxford really tried to flinch the game at a time when Rensselaer was certain to win it. Oxford people, on the other band, seem just as certain that Rensselaer was wrong. No newspaper discussion could harmonize these opposite claims, and the Republican does not wish to Bay naughty things about its brother publishers, nor about the good people of Oxford. Let’s get together and play ball. That is the only way of settling the question.

The state board of health warns business men that persons pretending to be Inspectors are appearing in various places, and after finding fault with alleged ’’unsanitary" conditions, offer to ‘‘settle out of court." All such are frauds, and will be punished for impersonating officers, if they are detected. No business man need permit an inspection without first seeing the badge and certificate of appointment of the inspector—moreover, if he offers a settlement, know that he is bogus. No inspector has authority to ’’settle" or to accept the payment of a fine. It seems that bunoolng infests official as well as private life, and eternal vigilence is necessary if one would escape the sharpers. Try the classified column.
