he expects to have to fight $500, 900 of the
Senate appro !~ssation for steel cruisers in In

even from Il Democratic point of view, 1t is
a matter Of record, in Democratic newspapers
and speeches. that the price of democratic
votes in this State is only two dollars each.
The sum Mr. Holman names would buy one
million and 4 quarter of Indiana Democrats.
There are not more than two hundred and
twenty-five thousand in the whole State, at
the most liberal estimate.

POINTS FROM THE STATE PRESS.
The Choice of the State for the Presidency
No Chance for Democratic Success.
The Ousting of Peelle.

Attica Ledger.
The Democrats are furnishing Republicans
with plenty of ammunition for November's
battle They now propose to GUST Congressman
Peelle and put in VIII English, who has no moro
claim to the Office than the Car of Russia. He
was defeated fairly, but lot of Democratic
bummers at indianapolis bet on Englishs cleo
ton, and to make these bets safe the Democrats
of the House have been whipped and English
will be given the seat. This Democratic blunder
will give Peelle walk over this fall, and he will
doubtless be returned by larger majority than
any congressman ever received in the district.

large amount of liberty, and we kindly tolerate

amusement and avocation. When it is made
the vocation and not the avocation; when it is
magnified until it shuts out the more serious
and important things of life, and is made to
appear to young men of greater value than
business and productive industry, it is posi-
tive harm instead of benefit. That base
ball is unduly magnifed in the country to-day
goes with the saying. Il is not treated as a
sport side issue, an amusement. Any one
picking up the newspapers would very prop
erly imagine that the entire country was de-
voted to base ball; that it was the most inn
portant interest of the nation that few read
or cared to read little else than the doings of
dozen clubs of young men dressed in baggy
knee breeches and with parti-colored hose

IT'S poor rule that cannot be made to work
both ways The Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence at Philadelphia having shown some uneasi-
ness over the question of admitting negro dele
gates, ministers of the African Methodist Con
ference at Baltimore talk back to their white
brethren. They intimate that if the white
churches donot wish to associate with the African
churches the African churches do not pine for
their society, and can get along comfortably
without them. The opinion of both these Chris
tian gatherings seems to be that it is easier to
dwell in unity with high wall between rather
than together.

THE Enoch Arden case has often been equaled
since the day when men first went down to the
sea in ships; for many a man has been cast
adrift on unfriendly coasts, only to be rescued
long after he was supposed to be dead. But
now the Arden romance is discounted. A little
over three years ago Captain Lemuel Williams
and his first mate, George Daisey, sailed out of
the Delaware and "never came back again"
The captains wife was mother of the wife Of the
first mate They mourned according to usage,
and finally were comforted by brand new
husband apiece. few months ago Captain
Eben Williams, son Of Captain Lemuel, sailed
away Also and now the word is come that he Is
coming home with the men shipwrecked three
years ago. There will have to be readiust-
ment of domestic affairs along the Delaware, as
these men are probably not up to the Arden act.
