Although his batting average is low, he was

Perry showed that he had the making Of

was very brilliant. He is hard though

Heating had a good record in the box
eight games won 10 3 lost-but he did not
win against a single strong club.
Flack, of the L. j. Gums, in 10 games
fielded almost perfectly and batted accept
ably. Bruton, reputed to he the l.. j.
Gums heaviest hitter, hardly came up to
what was expected of him.
Stewart, an ex national, international
and college league player, was a tower OF

Commissioner Tanners policy has been
erratic aud eXtravagant, and after bearing
patiently with his hlunders for IA long time
the President has been compelled, no doubt
with reluctance, to request his resignation.
If Gen. Harrison were a man after the
mold of his predecessor, he would doubtless
have retained the commissioner in office
aud received the popular clamor against
him with contempt, But fortunately for
the country the President has the courage
u do his duty and subordinate partisan
considerations To the interests Of the pub
lie service.
From The New York Press
This is perhaps the most courageous act
Of the administration 10 date. 1t will con
vince millions of Mr. Harrisons fellow
citizens that he is thoroughly in earnest in
his purpose to have model administration
and that he will tolerate nothing that in
terferes with the realization Of his idea o
his duty. Every citizen, particularly ev
cry Republican aud every soldier or friend
Of the soldiers, should applaud the Presi
dents course.

From the Manchester Mirror and Americana
There are probably people in New Hamp

in mining stocks, hut if there are many of
this class they have never let the public
know it, while the number who are known
to have sunk their surplus in such ventures
is very, very large and strangely enough,
it is among the staid and sober capitalists
Of Concord and Keene that the craze for
this kind of wildcats has ragged most, The
citizens of Concord have sunk enough in
mining stock within the last II years TO
build new state house with a library All
mex and second Webster statue, and as
for Keene, the season when her first fam
lilies are not surprised aud shocked by the
collapse of some bonanza that was war
