There has been enough money
spent on the game of base ball in
Nashville this season, to build and
sustain a large university, Or to keep
the poor and helpless of the city in
comfortable circumstances for more
than a year. There has been enough
physical energy wasted to grade and
macadamize $50 miles of county road,
while the aggregate loss of time by
the people who have left their bust
ness for the ball yard, equally divided
among 1900 young men, would be
enough to enable all of them to get a
thorough education and business
training. The aggregate number OF
miles travelled to and from, and at
the bali ground would reach around
the earth fourteen times.-NashuiUt

What with improved machinery
and cheap labor, the average cost of
harvesting grain in California is less
than it has ever been. One farmer
in the San Joaquin Valley pays four
cents a sack for harvesting his crop.
Under old methods the cost of thresh-
ing alone has been as high as fifteen
cents.

Innocent literally, no man is, :"
says Robertson. eve come into the
world with tendencies to evil; but
there was time in our lives when
those were only tendencies. A prone
ness to sin we had; but we had not
yet sinned. The moment had not
yet arrived when that cloud settles
down upon the heart, which in all of
after-life is never entirely removed !:
the sense of guilt, the anguish of lost
innocence, the restless feeling of a
heart no longer pure"

Teller's record has not been bright

Teller's record has not been bright
ened any by the recent developments
made concerning the conduct and
methods of the land grabbing cattle
ranchers. The illegal advantagethey
were allowed to take in occupying
lands dedicated to the use of the In
dams is evidence of the disregard for
law and justice in the management of
the public lands that prevailed dur
ing Teller's administration of the In
terror Department.

Ex-Congressman Tom Cremer says:
Il cordially agree with the old fash
Toned Democrat when he urges that
to the victors belong the spoils in
politics, and recommend rotation in
Office. Once let places be occupied
en- pernsGnence, and an aristocracy-
or, what. is worse, a bureaucracy with
a pension LISTS established. The
system of rotation has worked excel
lently well up to this. It spreads
intelligence through the land, and al
lows every man scope for ambition
aye, and every young woman. Turn
the rascal out"

Doath of Captains Sinclair.

The Halifax On. S. Mail of July 2jth
says: q" Captain George 7. Sinclair died
suddenly this morning about half-past
10, after an illness of a month. He
came to Nova Scotia about twenty
years ago, at the close of the American
war. Originally in the United States
navy. at the secession Of his State
(Virginia) from the Union, he joined the
Confederate navy, and after seeing SER
vice during the early part ofthe war, was
sent by his Government to London and
Paris as an agent of the Confederate
States. On the termination Of the war
he and his family came to Halifax,
where he has since represented the Lam
cashire Insurance Company as general
agent for Nova Scotia. His genial and
kindly manners and sterling integrity
won him many friends in this city,
where he was universally respected and
liked. His loss will be deeply felt in
this community. He leaves widow
and three children-Dr. Sinclair, Mrs
+. j. Tremaine, and an unmarried
daughter-who have the sympathy Of
their many friends in their bereaye-
Dent."
Captain Sinclair was we'll known ant
had many friends in Virginia.

TORONTO, August g. The most de-
structive fire that has ever taken place
in Toronto commenced at 1890 this
morning in the large building erected
by the sugar-refning company, on the
Rsplanade. The strong wind blowing
from the east carried chunks Of burn
ing timber along the Esplanade, igniting
wooden buildings as far west as five or
six blocks. In short time the refinery
and a number Of other buildings were
burned. Three Schooners were burned
TO the waters edge. The fire is half a
mile in length.
At 2:45 A. NJ. the work Of deStruc-
ton on the Esplanade was still going on,
the flames having reached the foot OF
Yonge street, and all the intervening
buildings and wharyes having been
burned to the ground. The Great
Western freight sheds, formerly the pas
sesger station, on the north side of the
Esplanade, were in immediate danger and
were expected to be in flames every
moment. The steamer Chicago got mp
steam to go out into the lake. The
steamer Ontario got up steam and began
to tow out the steamer MsZeppa, but
schooner blocked the way and they
could not get her out. The Mazeppa
caught FIRE.
The fire brigade was absolutely pow
erless. IL is feared that Waterman
Worth, of the sugar.redncry, has lost
his life. William McCallum, seaman,
Of the schooner Annie Mnlyey, is dan
gerously burned about the head. SIEVE
raj elevators, coal-ysrds, schooners,
ierry-boats, warehouses, and many

burned. Loss estimated at over a mil

speech of Hon. John =. Wise in Pulaski
County Yesterday.


County Yesterday.
Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
NEwBERN uid DUBLIN, VA, Au-
gust 3.-IIon. John S. Wise opened
the gubernatorial canvass here to-day.
He had been well advertised, and an
unusually large crowd was in attend
ance, mostly Democrats, actuated by
curiosity.
Mr.. Wise spoke out of doors and la
bored under the disadvantage Of an
utterly unsympathetic audience. He
created no enthusiasm whatever, and
the general feeling among all classes in
regard to the speech was one Of disap-
pointment.
lie spoke in the highest terms Of his
Democratic opponent, and essayed a
dignified and deliberate role, in which
he was evidently out Of place and out
of character. If Mr.. Wise's canvass
throughout the Southwest is as barren
in effect as it was here to-day. the Dem
ocrats ought to sweep this district By
an old-time majority.
The speech contained no new points,
but was rehash of the same old party
clap-trap.
