Under the Wheels.

AS Conductor Richards train was
pulling into Vanderbilt. Monday after
noon the forward brakeman, Eugene
Lamb, of Grayling, started back from
the engine and in some way fell be-
tween the tender and the first car, and
the entire train of thirteen cars passed
over him, mangling his body in ter
rible manner, every limb being dis
membered, the skull crushed, and the
trunk nearly cut in twain. The re-
mains were carefully taken up, and
brought by the night train to Hanson
& Braden's undertaking rooms, and
prepared for burial.
The deceased was an honest, in
dustrious man, quiet and unobtrusive
in demeanor, and one who won and
kept many friends. He leaves wife
and four children, who have the SYM
pathy of the entire community.

The Grange Visitor.

We want to say word to our farm
err friends in relation to this paper.
Many have the mistaken idea that 1t Is
entirely devoted to the cranky" ideas
concerning the Grange. This is not
true at all. While it is the official or
gan Of that body, it isyet a farmers
paper, and every number is worth, to
the ordinary farmer, more than years
subscription. It's agricultural and
horticultural articles are practical, az

den is a solid, practical farmer. Send

The g. o. p. has evidently abandoned
all hope of ever winning another
victory on a high protection platform, II

they can not get by fair means. Dem.

diers of the late war over fifty years Of

The Atlanta Constitution called it a
"National shame" that the flag was
not placed at half-mast over the war
department for JEFF Days, but Dem
ocrat contemporary, the Philadel-
phia Times, says that the fact that
Mr.. Davis had long since ceased to be
a citizen of the Republic, and died an
alien to the country and its govern
ment, fully justified Secretary Proc
tors course. 1t is gratifying to see q
Democrat paper take sensible view
of the matter.

The sincerity of the democratic pro
fessions of favoring fair ballot and
free election, will doubtless be tested
during the present session of Congress.
They have claimed that there has been
as much wrong in the north as in the
south. Every election they howl
about northern manufacturers com
polling their employees to vote the re-
publican ticket. A bill has been intro
duced to remedy this evil as far as con-
gressional elections are concerned.
The bill is of non-partisan character
and is applicable to every congress
ional district ia the United States and
is designed to secure fair expression
from the people, and give to every
voter one vote and no more. BY the
provisions of the bill IL is not to be en-
forced in any district unless asked for.
II the democratic party has any feer'
that in any district of the north there
Is any coercion to be used to secure
votes. or any fraud liable, all they viii
have to do is TO ask for the enforce
ment of the law in any district wher'
such wrong doing may be anticipated
It's adoption will secure the rights o
all parties. 1t will receive the supper
of the Republicans. It remains t.
be seen whether or not IL will be sup
ported by Democrats. We do not be
lieve it will, from the fact that 1t ]
well known that in many cases demo
cratic success has only been obtaine
through terrorism, fraud, or forgery
and these the adoption of the lay
would prevent, in ell congressiona
elections, All who favor fair ballo
and honest election will watch the re
suit with interest. = Cheb. Tribune.

and some capital poems. Martha

WOULD MAKE HIM FEEL BIG.
A Would-be-D Diplomat who wants an In
vitation to Lunch with the President.

There is q man who has been hanging about
the White House since the 4th of March in
search of a pathway into the diplomatic serv-
ice. He has talked many times with the Presi-
dent on the subject; has complimented the
doorkeepers and attendants, and chucked the
babies under their little chins in a most diplo-
matte and persuasive way. Still he does not
seem to "get there" He got the impression
that perhaps it was because he had not in
fuence enough. The other day he stood in the
lobby with one hand up to his chin, while with
the other he picked away thoughtfully at the
leaves Of o rosebud in his buttonhole. Sud-
denly he seized Capt. Dinsmore by the lapel of
his coat and drew him aside to a confidential
corner.
Il was thinking" he said. II was-what do
you think about it? Would it be proper for me
to ask the President to invite me to lunch? It
would be great thing. My people, they would
think me great! l should feel very big" He
swelled out his chest to show how big he would
feel, then he added in lower whisper: TOO!
it would make the great politicians think well Of
me: They would all be ready to indorse me,
and it would help my case along. See?'
II don't think l would ask the President to
invite me-" replied Dinsmore doubtfully. ''If
the President made the proposition you might
accept Nay. don't think would ask him.
Wait until he asks you"
oh" replied the candidate, ''but am afraid
he won't ask mel"

and had two errors credited to him. Wise
tried to do some star catching in right field,
and IN endeavoring to hold with one hand a f1y
Brown sent him permitted the agile left fielder
to cross the plate. Myers played a good game
all round, two phenomenal catchers being
scored to his credit. He and Irwin did the
greater portion of Washington's batting as
sisted by Wise, Sweeney and Daily Kelly and
Radbourne were the only Bostonians who failed
to get a hit off Person but Brouthers and
Richardson made up for the slackness, the
former humping out home-run. Kelly

Pittsburg's favor with a score of 13 to 9. Pitts
burg had just as many hits as runs. The
Hoosfers had II hits to their credit, but it
availed them nothing. The errors were even,
