Good Taste and Good judgment

Good taste, good judgment. and q
very shrewd sense of what it is better to
leave unsaid at present, characterize the
document. II repeats generally accept
ed maxims and principles without cant
or assumption of superior knowledge.
II gives the impression of reserve OF
power. There is nowhere in the lines or
behind the lines the slightest trace OF
that offensive egotsm, that air of dis
covering immortal truths, which pro-
vokes hostility at sight, like sancti-
monious and at the same time preten-
tious face. We are free to confess that
this is an encouraging circumstance.
The country has still to learn just what
sort of man President Harrison is, but
the address which will be so widely read
this morning in every part of the Re
public proves very clearly what sort of
a man he is not. He is not a weakling
or a fraud. All of the indefinable
qualities which in literary productions
as in personal bearing attract or repel
without affording any explanation OF
their effect upon the observer, count in
this address in Gen. Harrison's favor,
not against him; and we think that can.
did Democrats will be as quick as en-
thusiastic Republicans to recognize that
fact.-NeU York Sun, Dem.

The base ball cranks are happy once
again. for the Polo Grounds are going
to be opened. and the Giants expect To
play on their old grounds on the 10Th
of June. Ever since the grounds were
taken away from the champion base
ball players a short time ago. because
the city had been petitioned to open a
street that would cut through the
grounds. men who are influential IN
the city. and. who are very much IN
love with base ball. have been at work
pulling wires to get the grounds opened
again for the game. That they have
succeeded is shown by the fact that
Public Works Commissioner Gilroy
has given it out that a fence Is to be
erected around the grounds.
Just how nicely this little scheme 10
regain the grounds has been worked
very few people know. When the
grounds were condemned. the high
fence that kept the small boy and the
dead head from seeing the game was
torn down by the city officials. From
that hour that the last board fell. people
living on the line of the grounds have
been ending in complaints that the old
base ball field has become the camping
grounds OF a gang OF tramps who have
made night hideOds with their songs
aud their yells for beer. They had
pulled a lot of boards together and
erected a sort OF a shanty, where they
held uninterrupted sway and terrorized
the neighborhood. That was the story
told TO the police. the Commissioner Of
Public Works, and TO the Mayor. The |
people demanded protection. and they |
ire going to get it. too.
At first no attention was paid 20 the 4
but as they kept coming in
with alarming regularity. it was sug-
,ested that the fence be put up, ITO
Keep the tramps out Of the field.
This was thought to be- a good scheme,

How tho Storm Anec,edF,u,t

A gentleman who has farm in
Prince Edward county was at the Capt.
tol yesterday. and had with him speci-
meus of apples and peaches which he
had plucked from the tree in his
orchard. and which showed the severity
of the late storm in that locality. Some
of the apples were half grown. and
were in many cases cut In twain by the
pelting force of the hail. Some were
perforated, the holes bearing resem-
blance to marks made. by shots from
parlor rifles. The peaches were smaller,
but exhibited the same signs.
"a curious thing about the matter was,
that while one tree on the same line
was injured az above described its near
est neighbors escaped, and further on
the same line the damage was repeated.
The hail was driven by westerly
wind.
