The careful reading of the following ar
ticle is commended to those who favor the

country, all will agree that a revision Of the
the tariff laws gill be for the interest Of every
man who makes his living by honest indus

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Merry Unr

AS predicted in yesterdays GLOBE, the slight
shortcomings consequent upon the fret presen-
tatiou of so elaborate an opera as the s'Merry
War were bound TO be done away with in sub
sequent performances of this charming work,
and last nights presentation was
all that could have been asked for
The audience ives almost as large and fully as
fashionable as that which attended the opening
performance and the rendition proved highly
artistic and ENJOYABLE. II is to be doubted, in
deed, il the patrons of the better class of opera
in s.. Paul will ever be accorded so fine an OPP
portupity to hear this sparkling composition so
admirably sung and acted.
In organizing so excellent a company st this
season Of the year Mr.. Davis has conferred q
genuine boon upon the musical patrons of this
city, and his success cannot be too highly ap-
plauded or pstronized. The company embraces
several artists OF national celebrity and the opera
is costumed and mounted in rich and sumptu-
Gus manner
The audience last night was enthusiastic and
sympathetic TO degree aud they were fully ea
rapport with the super5 music and the splendid
manner in which it was interpreted BY the com
paEy. There viii be 3 matinee performance
this afternoon, and as this will be the only
merry War matinee the horse deserves to be
crowded. The same opera will be given to-
night.

SALTWATER Mimi, July 15.-Another game
lost and no WONDER as no club can gain game
with such decisions as were made by the umpire.
The game of Saturday should have been won,
but it appeared as if the umpire might have been
mistaken in his decision, but the game to-day
showed his unfairness. Saltwater people like
fair play, and no matter how badly they may be
beaten, so long as it is done fairly, they will not
kick, but it became insufferabe to-day. Shom-
berg was at bat, and to defend his legs from a
throw from Foutz he brought his bat down and
it was counted strike against him. Stapleton
was acting captain and drew his attention to the
fact when he fined him SIS for daring to talk
to him. The assemblage took it up and
the IS was promptly raised by Chief Shortall,
who went on the ground and gave the money to
Stapleton to pay the fine. The umpire after
wards went to the booth where the players sit
and had a conversation with the Bay City players
which was in extremely bad taste. Umpire
Hoover has proved himself an unfair snob and his
decisions in the three games deserve protest
from both clubs. Such umpires will disgrace any
league. The game to-day was played without
spirit by both sides and there was not much
sharp playing on either side. There were good
double plays, with some catches on long runs,
but four of the six runs made could be counted
to errors. The less said about the game the
better. Following is the score:

The Dudes are exultant, and they have reason
to be. They won the game yesterday with the

exceptionally fine. The first was fifteen inning

occupied the box yesterday and he did rather
more effective work than did Rittenhouse, who
fired the curves over the plate for the visitors.
He played without an error, striking out seven of
Saginaw;s hard hitters, or rather ne struck out
one of them three times, another twice and two
more once each. making q total of seven. Walker
caught one of the finest games Of the season, and
without an error. His score shows four times at
bat one run, three base hits six put outs and
two assists. By the way, he is the man whom
the Tribune said could not catch

that the Saginaw club caught IL flies tells

Special Correspondence of the GloSc.8
LUvERNE, July 14.-The nomination OF
Mr.. Hendricks as candidate for
the vice presidency was not moro
satisfactory to the delegates at the Chicago con-
vention Friday than is that Of Cleveland and
Hendricks to the Democrats of Rock county. It
more than fills the measure of our expectations,
and will command the hearty support of every
Democrat In the county, and If we mistake not
find favor with many Independent Republicans
whose love for clean politics and honesty in pub
lie and private life is paramount to their fidelity
to party.
Interviews with leading Democrats in all parts
of the country disclose prevalent conviction
that the ticket will win in November, and promi
nent Republicans here regard the nomination as
the strongest that could have been made. Rock
county is not particularly noted for the size of
her Democratic majorities; indeed, but a few
years ago two men claimed the honor of being
the1nly Democrats in the county, and they were
justly entitled TO the distinction. 1t is crafty
ing to compare that period in our countys his
tory with the present and note the change.
On Saturday evening the Democrats of Rock
county assembled at the rink in this village to
ratify the nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks
and the orator of the OCCASION Hon. Hamilton II.
Gray, of Wisconsin, addressed as large, inteli.
gent and attentive an audience as can be assem-.
pleu Ill the Guy lor any slnlllar purpose. Inc
issues of the campaign were very clearly defined,
and the attitude toward them assumed by the
Democratic party presented IN eloquent and
convincing speech. An overflow meeting of the
young Democracy found vent for its enthusiasm
at a huge bonfire in another part of the city. At
the close of the meeting at the rink an adjourned
meeting was held an | a campaign club organized
with large membership. The proceedings of
the evening were marked by no extrayagant
demonstrations of enthusiasm. The ''boysn will
keep their powder dry till November when there
win be such demonstration as deverance from
twenty years af bondage of Republican corrup-
ton Warrants.

pha,tas, Remarkable Performance.

CHICAGO, July 15.-This was the ninth and
closing day CT the Chicago Driving Park summer
trotting m Getting. The events on the card for
the day were tn conclusion of the 2:27 race, in
which six heats were trotted yesterday, and a
race open to all trotters. The weather was cool
and cloudy, with light breeze, and the track
fast. Unfortunately the attendance was limited,
as one o t the most sensational performances of
the year was witnessed. On the last day of
August, 1875, at Hartford, Smuggler trotted a
mile in 154, and from that day to this that
figure has stood as the best record for stations
For years all the great trotting stations have
been sh ooting at this mark and their fame and
value ha gone up in the ratio Of their approach
to it. Last season Phallas trotted In 2 :15H, and
it was admitted to be but question of time
when he would obliterate Smuggler's perform
ance. That time came to-day when this great
son Of Dictator and Betsy Trotwood trotted q
full mile in 2:132 in the fourth heat, after hav
ing won two preceding heats in very fast time,
thus beating Smugger's record IL seconds.
This is not only the fastest stallion time, but the
fastest fourth heat ever trotted by any animal
The first quarter was trotted in 9314 seconds,
half in 1:171s, three quarters in :04H Il. The
first and second quarters were trotted at 2:15
gait, the third at rate of 12 and the last quar-

Major j. Ed. Doughty.

The funeral of Maj. j. Ed Doughty, which
occurred from his father residence at Lake City
yesterday afternoon, closes the career of one of
the former active and prominent young men of
the state He was the son of Hon. Samuel
Doughty one of the oldest residents OF Lake City.
He was early in the service during the rebellion,
serving with distinction in the army, and after u
residence in Washington in clerical capacity
for some time, he returned TO Lake City and en-
tered upon the legal profession. In 1875 he
was elected to the state senate from
Wabashaw county, taking prominent rank
in the legislature. Impaired health prevented
his continuance in public life beyond that term,
and malady ensued from which he never re-
covered. His wife died two years ago and no
children survive them. The Major was an able
gentleman, warm friend and an enterprising
citizen, and but for his prolonged and finally
fatal Illness he would have attained great promi-
uence in a public career.

SULKING IN THEIR TENTS.
The President and His Cabinet Not
Enthusiastic Over Blaine and
Logan.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

WASHINGTON, July 15.-There is gradually
increasing volume of gossip here in regard to the
lukewarmness of the president and his cabinet
toward the Republican ticket 1t is a noticeable
fact that no expression of friendliness has es-
capped Mr.. Arthur, since he dictated his vaguely
congratulatory letter to Blaine Immediately fol-
/ lowing the nomination. Friendly relations with
Logan were suspended the moment it was an
nounced that he had contributed to Blane's
nomination and had been rewarded for this by
the nomination for second place. There has
been no intercourse between Arthur and Logan
since the Republican nominations except that
which was absolutely necessary, and that has
been conducted very distantly. 1t is whispered
about that the president has said to more than
one friend emphatically that he does not care
continental whether the Republican ticket is
elected or not. 1t is said the cabinet are in en-
tire sympathy with Arthur, with the exception of
Chandler and perhaps Gresham. Folger has been
heard to say plainly that the Blaine men in
New York stayed at home when he
was n candidate against Cleveland, therefore
he will not lift his hand for Blaine against Ceve-
land Leading Republicans are nightly exer-
cised in their minds about the GOODNESS of the
administration and say that Arther must show
his colors and that the cabinet officers will be
dragged out of their tents where they now sulk.

A REMARK4BLE Prediction

A month before Grover Cleveland was
elected governor of New York, Gen. R. w.
Johnson, of this city, sent the following
brief communication to the GLOBE, and it
appeared In these columns Oct 9th, 1882:
To the Editor of the Globe:
~ desire to place the following prophesies on
record
First-Grover Cleveland will be the next gov
ernor of New York.
Second-The next president will be Demo
crat, and Grover Cleveland will be his name
The first prediction was promptly verified,
and all the preliminaries have been arranged
for the fulfllment of the second. 1t is only
a question of time when the entire prophecy
will be made true. AS political prophet
Gen. johnson takes front rank.

CIETELAYDts STRONG POINT.

The New York San, regards the nomina-
ton of Cleveland as protest against the as
sumption involved in the nomination of
Blaine by the Republicans that it does not
make any difference whether man is honest
or not, so long as he possesses the other
qualities of great political leader. The Sun
says:
The one conspicuous defect in Mr.. Blaine's
career has been his Indifference to official integri
ty The prominent feature in Governor
Cleveland's administration has been the conf
dence which he has inspired in his rectitude Of
purpose and honesty of action as public officer.
In training, in experience, in knowledge Of
affairs, it cannot truthfuly be said that he is Mr.
Blaines equal. He had vast deal to learn
when he became Governor, and the field of
necessary knowledge which the White House
opens to view is much more expansive and exact
ing. But he is strong where his antagonist is
weak. His honest is not doubted.

July 14.-The Democracy are going to have a

week. Great enthusiasm exists among Demo-
Gratis over the nomination at Chicago. Consider.
able detection is also noticeable among the other

nees to the disadvantage Of their own men.
The two 1rebugs that were caught on Saturday
upon suspicion of setting fire to the Europe
house, which communicated to the Wisconsin
Central depot and other buildings, will have their
examination on the 10th. There have been 80
many incendiary fires of late that public send-
ment is very strong against them. Several at
