CANDIDATEs.-Ina another column
we publish an announcement of the
candidacy of Mr.. VIM II. Griffin for
the nomination by the Republican
Convention to the office of County
Auditor. As the card was only re-
ceiSed after this weeks paper va all
ready for press, we can but briefly call
attention thereto, and say that Mr..
&. il a gentleman well known in his
own section. as well As in many other
parts OF the county, where he. bears
the highest reputation fnf competency
and reliability.
In this connection We cannot re-
frain from wondering why it is that
i'm Cedar county so many would-be
candidates for office appear to think
their only salvation lies in keeping
their candidacy a profound secret
from the general public while they
work round and lay wires as
much in the dark "a possible.
II is not considered either 4 crime or a
disgrace for Il man to permit lis name
to he used in connection with respon-
-ible public offices; and in other coun'
ties, when a conclusion to thus use the
name Of an individual j. reached 10y
himself or his friends, the first thing
is to have such determination publicly
known and fairly understood-a much
| better and more honorable policy, a.
| it appears To Us. than the baek-dool
and twilight plan of campaigning.

BASE BALL-Tipton us. Clarence,
et at, came off last Friday according
to announcement. Despite the facts
that none of the Upton nine had
practiced much of any, and two or
three of them none at all, and that
the players from Clarence were in the
same fix, the game was "a well con-
tested one and a good one in all save
one-sidedness. The Clarence boys,
lacking confidence in themselves,
had hired the pitcher and catcher OF
the League club at Clinton, and these,
with second basenIan borrowed
somew here else for the occasion, made
the game on their side. We don't
blame Clarence any for taking these
precautions. They had tried Upton
alone often, with the most unsatisfac-
tory results, and if they were willing
to pay money to see her beaten fol
once, no one ought to find fault.
The game, as already said, was
SHoi SoitSStSu- Soou pay III
of the Clinton boys. the good pitching
of Halle for Upton, the inability OF
anybody to do much batting, and bad
muffs and errors by bothTipton and
Clarence, being the leading features
| The score stood l6 for Clinton and i
for Upton. But one run was earned
in the game. Each side made min.
clean base hits, including three-base
by the Clinton pitcher.
A large number of spectators wer,
on the ground, and all seemed please,
except those who had paid money I,
put up the job and could find no suck
ers who would bet them enough L
get even on 1t. Tracy Barnes, Of Gin
ton, made an excellent umpire.

The very large number of one hun
dred enrolled on the third day Of the
Institute, with the prospect Of many
additions within the succeeding few
days, 20 to show that the very great
advantages offered are being appreci-
atel, as well as that the jealous efforts
of the superintendent in behalf of the
Institute have born fruit.
The daily programme consists of
classes in Civil Government, Arith-
metic, Geography, Reading and Pen
manship, in the forenoon, and Gram
mar, Physiology, Penmanship, Read
ing, Orthography, Drawing and Di-
dactics in the afternoon. 1t will be
observed that the three R's"-"Read-
ing, Riting and Rithmetic'-have a
full share of attention; and in them,
as in other branches, the labor Is not
expended in acquiring knowledge of
their principles, etc, 50 much a. in
learning how best to teach them to
Others
The instruction in Reading, Draw
ing and Didactics is given by Mrs
NJ. A. McGonegal, of Davenport,
formerly Principal of the Training
School In that city. Prof. w. T.
Stubs, of Clarence, has charge of the
classes in Arithmetic and Grammar.

ply, and Prof II. q. Young, of Du-
rant, has the Physiology and Civil

ors is a strong one, and the excellent
management gives to teachers a most
admirable opportunity for improve
ment.

excellent opportunity for Directors tc

The Bankrupt Law,

At Louisville and other cities q NOV
ment is on foot to petition congress for
a repeal or modification of the presen,
bankrupt law. The Louisville News says
There is no doubt OF the fact that a
change is demanded; either the law must
be repealed or 80 amended as to throw
greater restrictions around petitioners
for its benefits.
Thousands of men have been forced
by their misfortunes into the bankrupt
court; thousands of rascals have made
the court the place where they could be
released from debts they never intended
to pay. 1t is said that some have been
petitioners so often as to be known as
professional bankrspts. They buy goods
on credit, sell them OF low rates for
cash, and then have served on their
creditors a notice in bankruptcy. Then
another man is found who will sell them
new stock, and the same old path is
Travelled.
1t is against this class of men that
merchants and business men ash pro-
lection from congress. Some doubt the
ACCESSIBILITY OF a total repeal, and sug
gest instead additional restrictive Sec
tons which shall render it difficult for
these thieves to steal the property OIL
others under cover OF the law.

swimming across niagara.

The Niagara Falls Gazette Of the
LIST instant says: "The feat of
swimming across the Niagara river
below the falls has in it so many
elements of danger that peculiar
credit has always been accorded
the accomplishment, Within a
comparatively short ,.me, however,
numerous persons have successfully
crossed the turbulent stream, and
even some small boys have demon
strated their ability to accomplish
the Ferilous trip. On Monday of
this week two boys-Willie FIynn
and an adopted son of Mr.. Sully-
swan from a point below the gas
works across the river and back
with apparent ease. At one time
the boys we're enyeloped in the thick
foam on the surface and we're
completely lost sight of for a few
moments. The successful accom-
plishment Of the feat was loudly
applauded by their numerous COM
rades who witnessed the affair from
the American shore"
