Some Points ON the National Game.

Detroit Free FreSS.
Anxious Inquirer: You are perfectly
right. There is a game called base ball.
There are nine on side and an umpire.
The sides toss up for the umpire and some
times further on in the game toss up the
umpire. The side that wins the umpire
generally gains the game. There are
wickets at different parts of the field. and
when a pitcher knocks down the wickets
the man nearest them is out. No. there is

Hear the ringing of the bells

Hear the ringing of the bells
Chestnut bells,
What thrill of horror their melody fortells,
As they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Half hidden out of sight,
And the grins begin to wrinkle,
Faces with their eyes twinkle,
With CT, stalline delight,
Calling, "timel time timeI'
In hOrrid sort of rhyme,
That suggests there's something olden that
doth smell.
Hence the bells, bells, bells,
Chestnut ellis,
The chilling, killing, whiting chestnut bells.

ZONES GIVES ZIP.

Senator JONES, it is said, has at last been
brought to see the uselesSness of his cam
paign work in his own behalf in Detroit,
and has indicated his intention to return
before the wintry blasts begin to blow from
off Lake Erie's frozen surface to his own
balmy Florida, where maldenS are more
kind. and where. instead of vigorous mid
winter storms, the gentle breezes softly stir
the palmetto leaves. This declared inten-
ton of the senator's, in view of his per-
sistent haunting of Detroit for so many
months, is surprising enough, but his
further purpose, as expressed in a letter to
friend, is even more surprising. He in
tends to be again candidate before the
Florida legislature for reelection to the
senate. While the sublimity of the mans
impudence, in view of the fact that he did
not occupy his seat once during the last SEES
sion, must compel admiration, it is
but poor basis upon which to found his
claims for a re- election. Now, had his pur-
suit of the obstinate Detroit beauty, at
whose shrine he knelt in vain, been crowned
with success his constituents might have
forgiven the absence from his post of duty,
and even commended its cause. But when
he returns smitten with defeat. and thus
incidentally rejecting upon every true born
Southerner, he cannot expect to be granted
the senatorship as kind of consolation
prize. Had he returned with the prestige
of victory. the young woman on his arm, he
would have been heralded with the appro-
baton due a conqueror, and the senatorship
willingly conceded to him as a right. All
the world loves lover, but it frowns upon
a lover who gets left.

Il. b. Northrup tells Of how he used to roam
through the pine forests of Central and
Northern Wisconsin. He began these pere-
CARNATIONS at the age of twelve years, and
continued them until he had reached man s
estate. Long before the railroads had pierced
that part of the state, Mr.. NOrthrup pub
llShed pamphlet containing description OF
the country, and diagrams showing
the course of the iron and copper
leads, but he was laughed at by the state
geologist and other learned men, who lived to
see in the extensive copper and iron discov-
cries OF Northern Wisconsin verifcation of
Mr.. Northrup's prediction. He says that he
knows the very spot where the iron and
copper leads end and where loads of floating
copper ore can be picked up on the surface
OF the ground and this point is not more
than thirty miles from the railroad. He
claims to knows where there are thousands of
acres Of kaoin in the state of Wisconsin

no particular use has been made of the clay.
If properly developed be says there are for
tunes to be made on these beds.

in all the length and breadth of the land or
one who could with reason have found fault
with It's lot or with the government. Hth-
ertO, therefore, except by the recent South
ern rebellion, our government has been sub
iected to but little strain. We have not had
any class prejudices or contention The man
who labored by the day or month or year for
his more peculiarly fortunate neighbor, could
clearly see he might soon become, by the ex-
ercise of frugality and industry, a freebooter,
a merchant or manufacturer. Such state
of things was the surest guarantee of order
and patriotic devotion to the government. He
who has acquired property, especially real
property, has given hostages to society for
his good conduct. Self-interest. as well as
patriotism, impels such an one to oppose dis
order or violent social changes. But new
order of things has arisen. The wage-earning
class is becoming much more numerous and

wealth in few hands, and the immense

mediate constituency and subject to no super
vision and looking solely to their own inter-
est yearly collect from the people not less
than $500, 600 600. To no men Or body of men
is it safe to commit such power. The mere
statement of the proposition to any thought
full man shows the necessity for government
supervision and control. 1t matters not
whether they are honest or dishonest. No
ma when his own interest is at stake
should be trusted with such power. Not only
do they levy and collect this tribute, but q
few men sitting in their offices in Chicago or
some other city may by even slight dis
elimination in rates, affect most disastrously
the interests of every locality, business and
business man in this land.
SLIGHT DISCRIMINATION
against any person, place or business is de-
struction. 1t cannot be expected, it should
not be tolerated, that such fearful power I'M
res rained and unguarded should be COM
mtted to any private man or men. The peO-
pie of the West have exceptional interest in
this question. On this question, too, the
Democratic party has taken advanced
ground. Ny limited time compels me to pass
hastily over several other important issues
on which l shall speak during the campaign.
l favor honest civil service reform. The rule
that to the victor belong the spoils carried to
it's logical consequences is intoerable and in
consistent with the rule that the government
should be administered for the benefit of the
couutry-of the whole people and not OF a
party or faction. 1t is human nature and
always will be true that who has the
right or power to recommend or appoint will
other things being equal-recommend or
appoint his friend rather than any one else.
But he is not patriot who would turn out
a faithful. competent officer of another party
to make room for one of his own party loss
competent What our country most needs
is more honest independent patriotism and
less blind partisanship. Party is made for
man, for the country, and not man or couu-
try for party. And | wish to say on subject
germane to this that am opposed to polit-
ical corruption, to all sorts of
POLITICAL CORRUPTION
that by any art, intrigue or improper con-
sideration, thwarts the will of the people.
We should have laws on the statute books
making penal all such practices. Until the
people repudiate at the ballot box those who
by any disreputable methods, succeed in
securing nominations they will be misrepre-
sented; for if 1t is understood that nominal
ton secured by intrigue and resort to dis
reputable methods, is equivalent to an cleo

THE FRIENDSHIP OF WHITE AMI
TREACIlERf OF JUDAS.

Our worthy contemporary IN a re-
cent article complains of a want o
our friendship. We assure the tyro
who has lately taken the editorial
chair of that paper that he was never
more mistaken in his life. The
LEDGER will continue as it has in the
past to assist it along i'll the way OF
nurture and admonition. The trials
of Il new beginner are always more
or less envlroned with the difficulties
that beset the highway of success.
Keep a stiff upper lip and peg right
away it will get there eventually if
not ooner. Its recent editorial Sc
yerely denouncing Judas lscariot was
able and well directed as well as a
fine item of news, as good as the
so-called scoop claimed by that
paper lately. Judas was a very mean
man and deserves to be held up to
the contempt and sc0rn of the world.
Were he living he would be a mug
wump to-day. The whole human
family has been down on him fol
nearly nineteen hundred years. anG
if there had been anything good ii
him, it certainly would have beer
found out i'll that time. Hit hin
again he deserves it. Nobody vii
plead in his behalf, Don't strike
man when he's down" It is mucl
safer to strike him than 1t is 1t liv
ing United States Senator. They
are liable 10 strike back and thel
when they do they hit like a pile
driver. Pop it to Judas and let Yes
; alone, till he loses his pile-drive
anyway, and then, too, the whole pop
ulace are likely to turn out and tax
up for him.

DIR. ROBES,

As will ne seen in our special cor
respondence from Fulton, DIR. Rodes
OF this city has been elected Super
intendent of the Fulton Insane Asy.
Ium vice DIR. L. II. II. Smith, deceas-
ed. The honoris worthily bestowed
and that, too, unsought. This is prop
er. Positions like this should be
hiied on account of worth and not on
account of friendship or influence.
1t is n Of the most important po-
sltlons III tho state. The salary is
$4,000 per year and found-quite a
neat sum-equal, we should Judge,
to So,OO0 per year, but none too
much fer the work and responsible
ties assumed. DR.. Rodes is pecu-
larry fitted to the place. He COM
bines learning with experience and
executive ability, and we are sure is
one among the few men in the State
htted to take DR.. Smiths place. He
will devote his time and talents to
the honest and faithful performance
OF nil duties devolving upon him.
We are loath to see him go, but what
Is Mexico's loss is the States gain.
DIR. WV. Walker, his partner, will
remain in Mexico and continue the
practice Of medicine. DR.. Walker
Is one of the leading young physi.
clans in the State-devoted to his
profession, which he has mastered in
Its every department. He combines
skill with all the attributes of a high
minded gentleman and a careful
practitioner. The best wishes of the
citizens Of Mexico go with DR.. Rode:
to his new home, and the LEDGE
JOINS one and all in prophesying fol
him an able and clean administration
OF the affairs of the asylum, Jus
such as will always keep DR.. Smith
memory green.
