BIG THING, SURE.
A City Alive TO a Memorable Occasion, ard
Determined to Reach Unprecedent-
ed Results

The arrangements for the coming
Oriole celebration in Baltimore arc
certainly upon a scale which must
impress even the most enthusiastic
advocate Of big events. That the
Monumental City is looking up and
has caught the spirit of enterprise
characteristic of the West is beyond
question. What she does is no lon
ger by halves, but believing that
which is worth doing at all is worth
doing well, now proposes to Guido
even New Orleans in carnivals, and
in addition present attractions never
before dreamed of. IfLouisyille and
Cincinnati have their great Exposi-
tions, st. Louis her grand Fairs and
Chicago her Sangerfests, Baltimore
has her summer nights Carnival, and
that, too, after a fashion which all
Europe could not excel.
1t would not be surprise If Balti-
more soon INDUCED in an Exposition
herself, and when she does it will be
business, and no mistake. Having
demonstrated her ability to surpass
everything in the mystic pageant line
ever before attempted and educated
her thoroughgoing, energetic bust
ness men in public enterprises, the
chances are that they will naturally
seek new channels for their expert
ence, and what more likely than a
big novelty in the way of an Exposi-
ton, with features never before pre-
sented?
Already Baltimore is perfccting for
the Oriole festitiyes an electric pro-
grammc which will astonish the ma
tiyes, and the Tuesday night of car
nival week promises remarkable
series of attractions in which electrici-
vt will play most prominent part.
Baltimore was the first city in the
Union to demonstrate the praetica-
bility of the telegraph, the first to
construct passenger railway, and
the first to illume her streets with
gas. Now she proposes to lead by a
long way the display of electric light

wide field of possible operations.
The different electric companies in
the country are becoming greatly in
terested in the exhibition, and will
vie with each other in experienced
and practical aid. 1t will be a mem.
orable night, and one which will well
repay long journey to enjoy. The
Baltimore and Ohio, the city's great
road, is doing everything within the
scope of its enormous resources to
make the celebration an unprece-
dented success. Rates from all sta
tions on its most extensive system
have been put down, to half the ordi-
nary fare in fact, and the details per-
fected for carrying, with perfect sat

mnif Incidents.
BY our Special Reporter.

For some time past the interest in
the game of base ball, to be played
at Waynesburg, between the Grecian
Blenders, of that place, and our; own
Rough and Readys, has been very
great. After a long ride last Friday
evening the. club reached Waynes-
burg, and was heartily welcomed by
Mr.. Melvin, the genial proprietor Of
the Downy House. Nothing worthy
of comment happened until the next
afternoon, when the first game was
called at 2 P. NJ. This game was one
Of the poorest the r. d RS. ever
played, but the playing of the Bender
was no better, and the contest was
exciting in the extreme. At the end
of the ninth inning the score was tied,
each club having % runs to its credit.
A tenth inning was played when the
Benders coming to the bat scored four
runs, and their friends were very ju-
bilant, but, with all their old time
nerve, the Rough and Readys came to
the bat to make four scorcs--or lose
the game. Hayes led and made his
first base, followed by the balance Of
the nine, until they had scored ten
runs. Although the game was by no
means good one, yet the excitement
was very high throughout.
The following is the score of the
first game -

1t comes To us from New York, and
from a source entitled to considera-
tion, that an, arrangement has been
reached between the President and
the Governor Of Ohio, by which the
two, their managers and followers, are
to WORK together to make the Repub-
lican ticket in 1884 read Arthur and
Foster.
1t is also stated by the same au-
thority that Mr.. Blaine is party to
the agreement, which is, in the main,
a project of the fertile brainand ready
tact of Mr.. Whitelaw Reid to bring
the factions together Under banner
which can rally tase Stalwarts and the
Half-breeds.
Acknowledge Of this compact has
driven Mr.. Conkling off in disgust.
The New York Tribune in the east,
and the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette in the west, are in due time to
herald the movement. Dorsey is to
be told to do his worst. Mr.. Sher-
man is to keep his seat in the Senate
and be fed with the succession. The
combination expects to reduce the
game to- d hand-to-hand fight with
Logan, and to beat the Illinois Sena-
tor by dividing the Stalwarts and
consolidating the whole strength of
the Half-breeds, led by Blaine, upon
the Administration, which is to
pledge itself to a liberal measure for
reinstating and retiring Gen. Grant.
The scheme is good one aud a
strong one, if the Republicans carry
Ohio and New York in the fall cleo
tions. If those States are lost, then
it will, Of course, go to pieces. How
do the Republicans like it? And
what will the Democrats do about it?

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger Of i'm
pairment of the mind from excessive
nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists forebodings Of evil, desire for
solitude, stunning and avoiding CON-
pany, vertigo and nervous debility, or
when insanity has already taken place
PERUNA should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait so long
before treatment is commenced. The
early symptoms are loss of strength,
softness Of the muscles, dim or weak
sight, peculiar expressions Of the face
and eyes, coated tongue, with impair
ed digestion; or in others, certain
powers only are lost, while they are
otherwise enjoying comparatively
good health. In all these PERUNA
should at once be taken.

The American Register in discuss
if1k the tariff saws:

The American Register in discuss
ing the tariff says:
Aprotective tariff is one that makes
protection it's main object, or at least
one of its leading objects. While rev.
enue may be one Of the objects in the
tariff Of the Republican party, yet
protection is not only one Of its OBJ
jects, but also its leading and con-
trolling object. On the other hand
the Democratic tariff is levied for
revenue, that is its object, it can be
81 levied on imports which compete
with home production as to afford in
cidentally protection and encourage
ment to home industry. So that the
distinction between the Democratic
tariff and the tariff of the Republican
party is this: while tho latter makes
protection its object, and indeed its
leading object, Democratic tariff
makes revenue its object, and protec-
ton simply. an incident resulting
from determinations as to the articles
ofimport on which it is levied. Where
fore, it is plain, that, the Republi-
can tariff is the protective tariff,
and the Democratic tariff is the rev.
enue tariff. And the revenue col
lected to support the Federal Govern
inent has become 80 large that mere
incidental protection will afford all
the encouragement to home industry
and labor, which is needed, without
producing monopolies. Here is the
distinction between the two parties
on this subject. The mere incidental
protection Of the Democratic revenue
tariff should never be COMPOUNDED
with the protective tariff of the Re-
publican party, which makes protec-
tion its main Or q leading object.
The protective policy Of the Repub-
-lican party builds up monopolies and
fictitious interests. and gives unjust
advantages to few over the many.
And because upon these grounds the
Democracy opposes the protective
pslicy Of the Republican party. the
free trade men step in and try to get
the Democracy to repudiate even the
incidental protection Of the Demo
cratic revenue tarih, which, while it
encourages and protects home pro-
ductise industry and labor sufficient
". does not build up monopolies OF
give unjust advantages to the few
over the many. These things must
not be COMPOUNDED with the mere in,
cidental protection in the Democratic
revenue tariff, which is essential To
the prosperity, Of the material bust
ness interests of the country.

Tens of thousands of honest Re-
publicans who have never sought
office nor asked favors are quite as
urgent for change in the natl onal
Administration as the most intense
Democrat can be.
I. Continued possession of power for
nearly quarter Of a century has de-
moralized the Republican party, cor
rupted its leaders, and established
the rule of machine politics. Patron
age, offices, jobs, contracts, and plum
der are the aims Of the managers who
run the organization and thrive on
the spoils.
In 1876 the Presidency was stolen
by conspiracy, in which the Chief
actors distributed among themselves
the highest honors of the Government
at home and abroad, and rewarded
the instruments they employed with
offices in the different braches of the
public service. Many of them are
still holding the offices thus attained.
In 1880 the Presidency was pro-
cured for GARFIELD by barefaced cor
rpption, che scandalous details of
which have been revealed by the
chief managers of the fund contribu-
ted for Indiana, and by the published
correspondence Of Mr.. MoRToN, pres
ent Minister to France, and of others.
1t is estimated that two millions of
dollars were raised to put GARFIELD
in the White House.
Thoughtful men may well ask after
these two experiences, what will the
Republican managers do next? Free
government cannot be maintained
while such practices are possible.
Success has thrust aside all reserve
or prudence. To continue their hold
on power, desperation may go even
further than I'm 1876 and in 1880.
The dread of exposure which change
would make inevitable, and the at
tendant loss of control Of the Admin
istration, might lead the conspirators,
who threatened civil war seven years
ago, to hazardous enterprises in 1884.
This overhanging danger is not to
be disguised. The country is only
imperfectly aware how serious was
the peril in 1875. A reckless minor
ity, backed by President GRANT, or
ganized the movement by which a
candidate fairly elected by the people
and by the Electoral Colleges was
by force and fraud driven out, and
the defeated candidate was installed
in his place.
Hence it is that many patriotic Re-
publicans, who see no hope Of reform
in the party, and who deplore the
corruption in high places, are willing
to aid the Democrats in electing q
President next year. They do not
propose to join the Democratic party.
They probably do not agree with
many Democratic doctrines.
But in the actual condition Of par
ties there is only one choice between
two. Therefore these Republicans
mean to try the experiment Of putting
the Democracy in power as the only
way of getting the Government out
of the Republican ruts and of infus-
ing fresh blood into the diseased
body polite. Many thousands of
quiet voters, who never gave ballot
for Democratic ticket, will next
year support a Democratic candidate
for President as the only means OF
bringing about q radical change in
the methods of conducting public af-
fairs and Of rescuing the Government
from the rascals.-N. Y. Sun.
