HARRiSON'S POLICY.
The INDIANA Man Brings Forth . Mouse
Instead Of q Mountain.

The INDIANA Man Brings Forth q Mouse
Instead Of q Mountain.
One of the most offensive features
of President Hayes administration
was the indifference with which he
permitted his Secretary of the Treas
ury. Mr.. Sherman. to build up
Machine in the South. 1t was based
on the spoils system. and Government
patronage was distributed in so
shameless q way that the feeling of
Indignation then aroused did much to
keep the South solid. But the Sher-
man machine. in spite of all its de-
fects, was effective in securing dele
gates to the Republican National con-
vention of 1880.
The friends of President Harrison
seem to be most actively engaged just
at present in efforts to rehabilitate the
Sherman machine. They know that
it is gross misuse of power for the
President to appoint to Office dis
honest carpet-baggers who do not
represent in any sense the people in
the localities where they live; but such
q course, they think. looking back
at the result in 1880. may bring
their chief votes in the National con-
vention in 1892. So the Offices are di-
vided up as they will do the most good
This proceeding naturally results in
serious scandals in some places. as in
North Carolina, but the Harrison
manages console themselves for the
present by dreaming of the future.
In view of the rose-colored prophe-
cies that were made as to what Cen
eral Harrison proposed to do in the
South, the result is very disappointing.
He was to build up great protective
party there and to break the solid
Democratic party. And now, instead
of any of these great things being &C
complished, we are simply to have the
old Sherman machine resuscitated. If
we had not been told to expect a
mountain we would not be so grievous-
y disappointed to find that a mouse
had been brought forth.-N. Y. Star.

Harrison's sickening Brutality.

When the President desires to gen
rid of a Democratic ofice-hoider, he
uses something like the following brief
and brutal formula:
You are hereby removed from the ONCE Of
collector OF customs for the district OF George
town. in the District OF Columbia
BENJANIN HARRISON.
The gentleman to whom this was
addressed gave Harrison a lesson in
good breeding, saying: Zone reads
your communication through from
date-line TO signature without finding
a word to indicate whether it is ad-
dressed to a man or horse. "-AAbany

BASE BALL.
Chicago, Is: kes0sha. z.

Tuesday, the 18th inst, so far as weather
was concerned, was beautiful day for base
ball, but after the game there was a chilly,
decidedly chilly feeling prevalent among
the kenoSha bail players and their admir-
ers The Chicago delegation, besides
bringing ball nine with Them brought
their lungs, and although strong ones in
their natural state, they assisted in cele-
brating with large tin horns and plenty of
wind. Whether it was these horns that
ratified the home players or whether they
just naturally had an off day, makes little
difference. The playing of the Kenoshas
was far below their standard, but they could
scarcely hope to defeat such nine even at
their BEST After the first three innings, III
which Chicago made eleven runs, there was
considerable interest manifested as to
whether our boys woul, be able to get in u
run. The Chicago players tried hard to
shut them out and the home players were
equally anxious to score and succeeded in
getting two before the game was finished,
one of them being earned. That Chicago
played a fine game goes without saying.
They gave an exhibition of batting
strength never seen in Kenosha before. and
many people who have not seen profession
| ais play were pleased to see them use the
willow SO freely. Adams started in to
| pIt?h, but was batted out in four innings
and gave way to Schmitt He, too, was hit
rather freely, but in the latter part of the
game all steadied down and kept the Chi
Cages Gown to small figures.

FOURTH OF JULY.
Celebration and Annual Field Day Of the he
noska Y. Nj. C.. A.

Preparations for the celebration Of the
Fourth of July in Kenosha are progressing
satisfactorily. The program of the day will
be something like this. The exercises will
begin with procession to the depot to meet
the orator of the day. He will arrive on
the $50 a. m. train and will be escorted d.
rectly to the grounds on the Lake Shore,
where the Grafton will be given and all the
other exercises of the day will be held. AT
ter the Grafton the athletic contests will be-
gin and continue until noon. The Ladies
Auxiliary of the Y. NJ. G.. A. have arranged
to serve dinner on the grounds to all who
wish to remain for the at. ernoon exercises.
At 1870 p. N. the athletic exercises will be
resumed and continued until completed,
which will be about five o'clock No Pains
are being spared to make the occasion one
of interest to the Association, as valuable
prizes will be given; and also one of interest
to the citizens of the community and sur
rounding country. Many of the prizes are
to be given by the citizens.
Quick Sales and Small profits is the
order of the day at the Grant House Cloth
ing and Boot and Shoe Co.'S. establishment.

SCRAPS OF BALL NEWS.

1t is singular thing that not one of our
boys played as strong q game as usual Had
they put up as good = game against the
Chicagos as they did against Bay View, the
score would have been 5 to 2 instead of 1G
to 2. They made base hits on Hallstrom,
but did not bat at critical points
The throwing to bases by Gastfeld was a
revelation to many, who pronounced it the
most perfect they had ever seen in ball
game.
Seaman made the longest hit made on
the grounds. 1t cleared the rail at the
lower end, but Rowe fielded it in time to
hold the runner on second base.
The Association team will play two
games en- July 18th with the Chicago Inter
Ocean team. The first game will be played
at 1915 a. M, and the second at 8 or $3.50
p. m. The Inter Oceans are members of
the Garden City League and play excellent
ball. Kenosha will be able to put the full
strength of their club in the field on that
day. In the morning game Herzog or Ad-
ans will pitch, with Lewis to catch. In the
afternoon Schmitt and Herman will do the
battery work.
Arrangements have been made for the
following games: June %, Milwaukees
June 80, Racines: July 18th, the Chicago
Inter Oceans z games); July 7, Ravens
