The Appleton Crescent says that it is
reasonably certain that r. E. Davis, A.
Scott Sloan, s. A. White and 1t. Gov.
Parker will be the candidates before the
Democratic State Convention for the
nomination for Governor. No doubt
they will SO will as many others. Sam
Burchard. n. d. Frat, Mayor Butler,
Jos. Rankin and others, s'too numer-
GUS to mention" have aspirations and
warm friends to forward them. The
man who stands the best chance OF the
nomination is probably Mr. Parker
Unless the Democracy have totally
changed their plans such is the case, for
it was pretty well understood last win
ter that the Lieut.. Governor was to be
put at the head of the ticket. These
little arrangements are very apt to fall
through, however.-FOnd du Lac Com

LEMONS This evening, at Turner
Hall, John Dillon, aided by the Wal
lack combination will present the popu-
lar new comedy, demons" The play
has had an immense run in Chicago and
Milwaukee and is pronounced one of the
most Imaginable performances ever rem
dered. The Wallack Combination is
made up of ladies and gentlemen who
have made their profession success,
and the many personal friends.of Mr..
Dillon in this city need not be told that
he will keep his end up" as of yore.
Reserved seats can be secured at Pien-
ing's, and the way they are being taken
is an evidence that the house will he
crowded. 1t is seldom a first class
theatre company visits Manitowoc, and
no one should miss this opportunity Of
seeing the inimitable John and his splen-

A Few months since Prussian resid-
ing in Kossuth, Manitowoc County, went
to Germany to see his ain countree and
doubtless with the intention of lauding
its excellenees over the land of the free.
He had, perhaps, acquired some new
ideas in regard to freedom of speech,
liberty, equality, fraternity in his adopt
ed country. 1t would seem SO, for being
Disguised with the conscript system,
taxation and other things, he INDUCED
in some treasona BILE utterances in regard
to Emperor Wilhelm and Count Won
Bismarck. He said that the Prussians
were ours, not men, or they would not
be so oppressed. They would rise and
fling off the yoke, etc. In America, in
this land of the free, he could have said
that Hayes was implicated in the whisky
frauds, that he goes to bed drunk every
night, that he had stolen 81 900. 600 out
of the treasury of the United States, that
he played billiards and base ball. He
might have asserted with impunity that
he was counted in by fraud. In fact, he
might have said anything he pleased and
nobody would have taken any notice of
it except to clap him on the back and
ask him what he would take. Observe
the difference. In Germany he was ar
rested, thrown into prison, tried and
sentenced to five years imprisonment at
hard labor He probably has high
appreciation of liberty now, and when
his term of Imprisonment is over he will,
probably, return to this country and
speak his mind. Ii some of the people
who are cabined, cribbed, confined by
the laws of this country could visit Prus
STA they might find that the iron heel of
oppression is not as heavy, the woes of
the working man not as grievous as they
imagine.

AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION,

The Canadian papers have been raising
a considerable amount of dust over the
ali eyed encroachments of American
wrec&ers upon the Canadian side of
waters. and have been talking about
gunboats and "sich.' 1t seems that if
a vessel is wrecked in waters lying be-
tween the United States and Canada,
the Canadian wreckers are entitled to
rescue it, if on The Canadian side the
American wreck,rs if on the American
side. The law seems very reasonable
and easily complied with. Suppose
schooner sinks in the middle of lake.
1t is a very simple thing for the captain
to take row-boat and tape line and
measure the distance from the American
shore to the vessel, and then from the
vessel to the Canadian shore if nearer
one than the other, the appropriate
wreckers should be called. Of course,
while it was being determined what ma
tionality should be employed to save
vessel that was pounding on the rocks,
the vessel might go to pieces and her
cargo be scattered to the winds and
waves; but we must remember that no
business is free from risks; the mariners
should not expect to be guaranteed
against loss.
1t seems to puzzle some to know what
should be done in case vessel sank di-
rectiy on the dividing hne-half in
Canadian and half in American waters.
Nothing can be more simple: Disinter-
ested parties should be brought in, the
vessel should be carefully surveyed and
then cut directly in two; the American
wreci1ers should tow their half to the
American si1e-the Canadians to their
side. There does seem to be an awk
wardness about this-but we don't see
how it can be avoided; certainly the
American must not encroach, and as
long as they are entitled to half the YES
sci must be separated. 1t is urged that
this would completely destroy both ship
and cargo. Well, we can't help it; there
are too many vessels anyhow; the dimi-
mutton would encourage ship building,
give employment to thousands of labor
ers, ETC., etc. Any one can see the
benefit arising from this We think
our Canadian bretheren ere right, and
reasonable i'll their demands JVlsco;a-

Our base ball nine is now ready for
business. By that we mean that it is
ready to cross the willow with any club
now travelling, and, after playing with
the Milwaukee nine next Saturday s.iust
for little practice they will lay back
and wait fer the Chicago White Stock
ings or anything in the business with a
feeling of confidence which becomes a
''boss" niue. And while our citizens
may reasonably hope to see the champ
ions of America ranquished, they will
ever regret that they didn't see the game
played on Monday between two picked
mines of married men. They played,
and at the end of the game the score
stood "a to 81. The two mines were
composed as follows
vICToRs.
Catcher-Physician.
Pitcher-County Superintendent
1st base-R. r. and Express Agent.
I'd base-County Judge elect.
Sd base-Town Treasurer.
Short Stop-Editor.
Right neld-State Senator.
Center fieId-Agt. N W. Life ms. Co.
Left field-Ex-Co. Clerk and Co. Supt.
LOSERS.
Catcher-Elevator Proprietor.
Pitcher-EX-alderman and Co. Supervisor.
1st base-City Attorney.
I'd base-Conductor and Capitalist.
Sd base-R. r. Telegraph Operator.
Short Stop-Physician.
Right tield-Collector of Internal Revenue.
Centre field-Ex-alderman and Co. Sup'r
Left field-Ex-District Attorney.
1t will be seen at a glance that the
personnel of the two mines embraced a
large number of professionals. (office
holders are professionally and the way
they hung to the ball showed that they
had never gone back on their first prin-
cipleS and were determined to stick to
whatever they got. We havn't time nor
space to note the many brilliant plays
made by each individual and can only
praise the catchers in saying that they
allowed but few balls to go beyond the
fence put up for a back stop, while the
pitcher in the defeated nine delivered
the balls with so much force and such a
combination Of curves that the resistance
of the air caused it to fatten out like a
saucer, and it was only when the fiat
side came toward the striker that it was
stopped in its mad career. Nor can we
refraiu from mentioning the indescrib-
able g.ace of the st tie Senator'S motions
while yelling to the fielders to "put that
TO first" nor the Internal Revenue Col
leetor's rapid and gazelle-ike movements
while sliding from base to base. Oh, it
was a red hot game and had it been
properly advertised, and the public had
any idea of how brilliantly it was to be
played, $500 audience would have been
there to watch its progress in breathless
suspense and applaud the heroes who so
nobly went tc bat and lodged swift balls.
When the next game comes off the pub
lie will be notified. And for fear of ac-
cident spectators are advised TO remain
outside the fence and ''peek' through
the cracks.
