Ease Bail.

Nov, that it is the fashionable season
for The game, it is of course exp 'ctet
| for us to say something about it. Fol
the game is upon us in ali of its gi",y-
squalling. broken fingers, &c. What
we would say about the game is some
thing like this:
We like to see the boys enjoy them
selves; we like to see any organization
for the public entertainment realize
their fullest expectations we like to
get in some far corner of the grounds,
out Of harms way, and see boys run
for the ball, grab at it several times,
finally get it up, and take deliberate
aim in about one-fuurih Of a second and
let it fly and hit his mark about sixty
feet to the wrong side.
Then there is another part of the
game that we enjoy. We like to see a
good ball knocked clear of the dia-
mond once in a while to give the
fielders something to do. How fast
they run to get the ball, and how they
manage to lei their feet slip from under
them, and then how gracefully they
fall, how quickly they roll over, get
on their feet, and turn round half
dozen times, more or less, in looking
for the ball! Finally, they see it, and
then how they grab at it, anti they get
it too-just in time to be too late !!
Such is life though-we always get
there just in time to be too late. We
heard one of the boys remark that he
would rather play base ball than to cal,
and if We would judge from the
rapidity which the good things dis
appeared from tho table not long since
at an evening entertainment, he is
exceedingly fond of both; in fact, he
claimed at that time that eating was
half of his living, and from his remark
4 few days ago we infer that base
halling constitutes the other half.
There are great many little points
that are very interesting and exceed
ingly amusing in watching the boys
play. What we enjoy most is to see a
big fat man, a Junior Jumbo, run with
all possible speed all the way around
tho diamond, to be met ut the last
moment with the ball, and called out.
To watch his countenancc to hear hin
blow, and as soon as he gets his breath
tell some one how he
wishes he had put on the brake at the
third base-aii that hard running lost
that is what hurts.

A letter of the 9Th instant from a
prominent citizen of Columbia brings
the following cheering intelligence re-
sleciing the recent election Oh "A rail-
road tax in the parish of Caldwell:
Our returns came in yesterday and
were compiled, showing 20 maj GRITTY,
representing $4,000 in favor of the
railroad tax. II we only knew that
the road would be built, private dona-
TONS would he offered.
The property Taxpayers of Ouachita
are moving forward with their petit
tons to have an election called in this
parish, and will no doubt receive the
coveted privilege from the Police Jury
at its next meeting. There is already
n large excess of property valuation on
the petitions; all that is lacking is
some sixty Notwithstanding more.

Bartholomew and Ouachita rivers is
attracting attention, and assuming
definite shape, we are permitted to
publish the following from letter

THE EAMBOAT AND RAILROAD
WAR.

! We find the following in the Times
Democrat of Monday, credited therein
to a "Vicksburg paper:''
Mr.. I. Hardy, assistant general
| freight agent of the Queen and Ores
| cent route, has closed q contract with
the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
Railroad, for the reshipment by that
route, from this point, of all cotton
from the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific Railroad, which amounted to
sc, 1000 bales the past year, and will
probably reach $4,000 bales more the
coming season. This cotton has here
tofore gone forward TO New Orleans by
steamboats, on the Red, Ouachita,
Bnuff, Macon, Tensas and Mississippi
rivers, and will be a heavy blow at the
| tenure Of life of said steamboats,. The
Nicksburg and Meridian Railroad will
get twenty-five cents per bale on this
cotton for use of their switch from the
transfer ut \leinston to the Louisville,
New Orleans and Texas Railroad, a
distance OF about one-half mile. The
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific and
the Louiville, New Orleans and Texas
railroads are both of standard guagc,
and a third rail will be placed on the
Vicksburg and Meridian switch, so rs
to enable loaded cars from the Nicks-
burg, Shreveport and Pacific to be run
directly onto the Louisville, New
Orleans and Texas track. The insur-
ance on cotton by steamboats, is twenty
five cents per bale. The railroads as
sumo all insurance risks themselves,
and with the advantage of taking it in
solid bulk from place of shipment to
New Orleans direct, are able to offer
inducements which virtually debar the
steamboats, from the business. The
Pool Line boats the past season took
from Delta alone about So 600 bales,
which, of course, they lose in the
future by this new arrangement. The
transfer from Delta to Nicksburg is
being rapidly pushed forward and will
be completed in time to move the first
bale"
| The river editor Of the Times Demo-
crat comments as follows on the rail-
road and river war indicated above:
That such contract would be made
has been known for some time. The
contract will not have the effect, how
ever, that the comments therein indi-
cate, at least not to the same extent,
because the people have never yet
deserted transportation by river, and
it is believed never will. 1t is their
only check against high rates and they
know it well. While railroads are
very formidable as competitors, and
are more highly favored in many ways
than the steamboat, yet danger OF the
absorption of all of the business on the
part of the former is very far removed.
"That article you had in last week g
paper was the funniest thing l over

Ehe Republican Contest for In g
Ohio GOvernOrsh1p.

SPRINGFIELD, o., June 10.-It is safe
to say that Springfield never witnesse
such crushing crowd as blocks every
portion of the city tonight. An at
tempt to get anything of a reliable ma
ture as to the outcome OF tomorrow
Republican State Convention is well
nigh impossible, ON account of the
many conflicting statements. The
Foraker men, of course, put their can
didate against the field, and laugh a,
any com bination trying to defeat him
General Kennedy's friends say he will
have $50 votes on the first ballot, while
General Beatty's supporters claim for
that gentleman 100 voter.
II these figures are correct, Foraker
will have only 297 votes, as Rose, OF
Cuyahoga, will be placed In nomina.
ton by that delegation, and Perkins by
Trumbull County. The friends OF For.
aker, however, claim that careful can
vass will igve him 4i6 on the first bal
lot, thereby securing him the nom ina
ton. With ago votes TO spare, from n
disinterested point of view, it can be
aaid that the fight is not won by
any candidate, as the d delegates 10 not
agree anywhere outside of the different
counties that have q favorite son to
compliment
The latest story afloae tonight ia one
that the Foraker delegation from Oincin.
natl has served notice on all combina-
lions that they will not enter into any
trade. as they feel very confident of
nominating him on the first ballot. Ex.
Governor Foster says Foraker will be
nominated, although he at first suppos.
cd that he would be defeated.
Elk Congressma j. d. Taylor will be
temporary chairman, and sound the
keynote. Congressman Mckinley was
rendered ssthe position of permanent
chairman, but declined, and Hon.
Amos Townsend, of Cleveland, will
fill the place, providing Mr.. Tyler is
not continued in the position. Congress-
man Mckinley will be chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions. They will
favor protection to American Industries:
Severely condemn President Cleveland
for appointing SO many ex rebels to
office and denounce in unmeasured
terms the late coal oil Legislature on
account of its attempt to disfranchise
cities and deprive them Of self-govern-
ment. The resolution on the liquor
question will favor taxation, for reg
ulatiop, reven ne ard restriction.
