NOT A FAIR SHAKE.

From the IOIedO COmmerClaI.
1t is stated that the men who propose
to be candidates before the State Repub-
lican Convention have already chartered
about all the desirable rooms at the Neil
House. That is not fair shake. Can
didates should at least give their support
ers a chance. Columbus has but few de-
sirable rooms, and the candidates should
not corner" the market.

A SOUND LEGAL OPINION.

E. Bainbridge Munday, Esq, County
Attorney, Clay Co., Texas, says: "Have
used Electric Bitters with most happy
results; my brother was also very low with
malarial fever and jaundice, but was
cured by timely use of this medicine; am
satisfied Electric Bitters saved my life. -
Mr.. ID. l. WilcOXsOn, of Horse Cave, KY.
adds like testimony, saying: He posi-
lively believes he would have died, had it
not been for Electric Bitters This great
remedy will ward off, as well as cure all
malarial diseases, and for all kidney, liver
and stomach disorders stands unequaled.

SENSIBLE AND TIMELY.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
1t is not too soon to begin to select can
didates for the Legislature to be chosen
in November That body will be called
upon to choose a L. S. Senator to succeed
Mr. Payne. There is danger, therefore, as
there usually is in Senatorial years, that
men will be chosen for election with ref
erence to Senatorial preferences rather
than legislative ability. This would be
unfortunate, because it would be the way
to lose the Legislature. If men of ability
shall be nominated, they may safely be
trusted as regards the vote for Senator.
The fact is, the last is not near so i'm
pOrtant as the first. Ohio, if Republicans
shall carry the Legislature can hardly go
aStray in electing a Senator. There are
several candidates, and while people, of
course, will have their preferences, the
seat now disgraced by Payne is sure to be
well filed. Upon the character of the can
didates for the Legislature, however, the
popular vote will largely depend, as the
next General Assembly, especially if the
constitutional amendments should carry,
will be largely devoted to business 1t
will not do, therefore, to nominate for the
Legislature anybody that can be picked
up, but to be careful to select the best men
who can be prevailed upon to accept.

THE Journal calls attention to the
extraordinary prosperity of Columbus,
and to the invariable good fortune
that has attended all men who have To-
Gated in that city from other parts of
of the State. Columbus has prospered
in a greater degree in the last decade
than any other Ohio city. The shipping
facilities are superior. Railroads reach
every part of the State Its manufactu-
ring and commercial interests are great
and growing, and it is rapidly becom-
ing a handsome city.

Notwithstanding the advancement of

the value of these internal Improvements
may be more apparent than it is to-day.
To sacrifice the canal system of Ohio
would be folly the costliness of which

has more to do with the frequent skin
ming farmers are subjected to than any
other cause; and when all men appreci-

ford to give them something valuable
for nothing, the calling of the bunko

Columbus is a good place for the State

to hold it. There would be plenty of time
to run the campaign after September 1.
The voice of the press and the people have
been disregarded in the matter. Still we
are inclined to lake it good naturedly, as
it takes the ordinary political animal a
good while to learn anything. They do
find out, though, in the course of years.

FOREST CITY, ARKANSAS, has been
the scene of another characteristic "out-
break" of race troubles.
OF course, the Negroes were to blame.
Why, some of them-men of intelligence
and education-had actually had the
impudence to support Negro candidates
for election to the Board of School Di-
rectors in Forest City.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Nee
ley, the colored man who was the prime
mover in the atrocious scheme to give
the black voters proportionate repre-
sentation in the school Board, was
promptly ..riddled with bullets" by the
indignant citizens, after several Other
men had been killed in the tumult.

WILL PLAY ST. LOUIS.
Won Der Abe Consents to Tackle the
Pittsburgs,
BUT NOT ON OUR OWN GROUNDS.
The Story of Ball Player Bradley's Tragic
Death.
THE LATEST ABOUT WHITE AND ROWE.
They Resolve to be Managers and Nothing Else
Next Season.

The great tug of war will come at last if
the heavens don't fall. The struggle re-
ferred to is contest between the local club
and the champions of Won der Abe. Of
course not a particle of the contest will be
seen here, but there is consolation in the
fact that we are going to fight the enemy on
his own ground. Defeat, under the circum-
stances, will probably be no defeat at all, at
least the victory, if the st. Louis players
are awarded it, cannot possibly say that there
was anything fair or patriotic about it.
Manager Phillips stated last night that he
had concluded an engagement with Won der
Abe for three games. The trinity of games,
however, have nothing whatever to do with
any legitimate contest that may have been
talked of between the teams as far as a real
test of their respective merits are concerned.
The Pittsburgers are compelled to play the
Association champions on their own grounds,
and the games can only be deemed contests for
revenue only.
However, Manager Phillips has arranged a
programme that will in many respects be inter-
esting to local patrons of the game. He has
arranged to have game played here by picked
mines during the latter part of March. This
will give local enthusiasts little idea of the
talent of the local club. True, the early part
of the season will detract from the good feat
ures of the contest but still there will be many
things that will be interesting. After playing
here as picked mines the club will tackle Gin
cinnati on April and 2, and st. Louis is the in
tended victims for April 8. Kansas City will
be visited on April 4, 5 and 6, and st.
Louis will be tackled again on the Sth and 9th.
The local club will then proceed to Louisville
and play on the 10th and llth and Columbus
may be visited on the 18th and 18th. Altogeth-
er Manager Phillips is much pleased with the
arrangements made. He expects that the
team will return in time to have many exciting
games here before the championship season
ends. He certainly expects that the western
trip will give the players excellent practice, as
some good teams have to be tackled

About Bad Shoulders.

Harry Wright the veteran manager of the
Philadelphia club. tells how ball player with
bad throwing arm can remedy the defect.
The fact that Big Sam Thompson recently
signed by the Philadelphia club, has a bad
shoulder, causes the old man of baseball to ex-
press himself as follows: "Thompson's trouble
was entirely in the shoulder. His arm muscles
or elbow joint never bothered him. He can, if
he chooses. learn to throw without using his
shoulder quite so severely as is natural for him.
The correct way to throw is start the ball at
the height of the ear, but after a man has had
trouble with any of his throwing muscles he
can often change his style of throwing with
benefit. Take Jack Rowe for an example. He
cannot throw naturally, and yet he plays a
very good shortstop by swapping the ball with
a peculiar wrist motion. Meister throws in a
similar fashion. When. 1 first tried to play
baseball l could not throw 20 yards, and yet
could bowl very effectively. I had famed nv
shoulder with cricket playing. l knew that
must learn to throw if wanted to play ball, SO
l put in whole winter practicing. 1 was then
living at Hoboken. and every day would go
down to the river and throw stones for an hour
or so. had to snap my arm and wrist some
thing as Rowe does, and at first could not tell
where the stone was going to land. would
throw an old bottle or piece of wood out into
the stream and practice throwing at that.
Before spring could hit the mark nearly every
time, and could throw ball 20 yards without
