mandiug his main army was seriously de-
feated at Hinche ten miles from the San
Domingo frontier, and arrived last night

Several cases of yellow fever exist on
ships IN the harbor and in the city.
Every precaution possible in the present
state of affairs is being taken, and the
health of the crews of the Galena and
Yantic remains excellent.

oughIy flmigated, as no attention had
been paid TO her since the fatal case of
yellow fever that occurred some two
months ago

THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Interest in Baseball Revived by Recent
Proceedings in Fort Worth

| The Interest in Baseball Revived by Recent
Proceedings in Fort Worth.
The baseball crank holds the floor
again
He had rather ceased his infections
since the closing of the league season in
the North, but the proceedings had in
Fort Worth last week have tended to give
him another grip on his favortte topic
| and now he is ont IN nrepFessible bloom
again.
Not eighteen months ago the national
game was hardly understood in Fort
Worth. Most of those who went TO see
the games on the old grounds
at the race course had barely
grasped the fact that the batter
was not out on a foul hand, as was the
rule way back in the seventies, and
many spectator used to come away
grumbling because he was not allowed to
take part in the game. One season g
reign of the sport has made a great diff
ference, however. AT first, last spring,
the boys could hardly grasp the
fact that league game was not a simple
matter of rivalry between two cities, but
was an exposition of the beauties of the
national pastime; but ere long they be-
gan to catch on, and interest grew
into enthusiasm until ut the
time of the disruption of the
Texas league, it is safe to say
there were more baseball cranks in Texas
to the square inch than in any other part
of the Union. The fact is Texas people
were given the best exhibitions of the
game that were to be had outside the
league and association. 1t is
not generally known, but is
nevertheless fact that the
Texas league was paying higher salaries
when it disbanded than any other minor
league III the country, though there may
have been cases where better talent was
had for less money. But Texas
had good talent This can be
proved from the fact that
great many players from this
league have been measured up by league
and association managers, and having
been found worthy, have been lifted up
into the national organizations. Among
them can be mentioned Weaver and Ray
mond who are held over by Louisville;
Whitaker who is with Baltimore,
Hoffman and Ehret with Kansas
City, Flood, Eohbeck and Proser with
Cleveland-pretty good showing for one
league, and it is generally admitted there
We're other players here who had all the
ability of some of those who have been
moved up.
1t has been the subject of fear that the
patrons of the game here, having been
accustomed to such fine work, viii not
support such inferior talent as will be
secured on a Limit of. $500 per month,
as has been arranged by the
league for this year; bRt those who take
a prominent part in the organization of
the clubs declare that equally good men
viii be obtained this year at $50 per
month as were paid SIe0 last year The
reduction is not confined TO Texas alone,
but extends through all the minor
leagues, so the players have
no recourse and must accept what is Of
fered. There is no fear that they viii go
out of the profession, for it is only under
peculiar circumstances that baseball
player deserts the diamond when once he
has gone on it.
It is probable that the Fort Worth club

The Natural Division of Political Partie.

James Parton in January Forum.
There is room in the two natural politi-
cal parties for all men. In the party now
called Republican would naturally be
found protectionists, prohibitionists, ven
orators of the past, poets, distrusters of
human nature, and most of that respect
full class who, to use Thackeray' s smile
like to sit with their back to the horses
and observe the country which has been
already traversed, rather than buffet the
storm beside the coachman and look for
ward In the Democratic party belong
naturally the whole uncomfortable and
defeated class, whether defeated by
their own fault or by the fault of
otheFs-tde poor, the oppressed, the
criminal, the lost; but also the opti-
mist the philosopher, the enthusiast, the
dreamer, the humanitarian To this
great party should resort all the heter-
odox IN all the kinds, as well as all men
with difficult right and odious schemes of
improvement. because this party alone
can ever be strong enough to defend and
protect by just legislation the natural
rights of man against powerful classes
VINO infringe them. This party alone can
ever rescue the laboring man from a
tariff that lets in the competing laborer
duty free, while keeping out the cheap
coal that could warm him, the cheap
wool that could clothe him, the cheap
timber that could shelter him.

SEVENTY ACRES.
What Parker County Farmer Raised With
One Mules Help.

What "a Parker County Farmer Raised With
One Mules Help.
From E. W. Matthews is learned the
particulars of what E. G. Horne. a
Parker county farmer, succeeded in rails
ing in the year 1888. Horne lives
two miles from PoolvilIe and has
seventy acres of land. When
the season began he had two
mules and a horse, but staggers at
tackled one mule and the horse and they
died. Nothing daunted he went to work
with his remaining mule, old Peter, and
plowed early and late. Peter was fed
well and worked hard. A few days ago
Mr.. Horne figured up the results
of the year s work and they are fifteen
bales of cotton, 1240 bushels of corn, 500
