The Northwestern base ball league
contest is over, and toe Portland (Ore.)
team won the pennant. The Portland
team, it will be remembered, is the one
in which the Wheeling ball tosserS have
been playing, Glenalvln, Lytle and
George. In the Spokane team of the
same league are also two former mem
bers of the Wheeling team, Stencil and
Vanzant. In the final game the other
day between the Portlands and Spo-
kanes, fully 1000 people saw the game.
The Seattle telegraph, speaking OF the
game, says:-
For seven innings the game was the
highest ever seen on the grounds, but
then Borchers' pitching arm shrunk
ieveral links, and he creased toboggan
slide on which the Portlands slid to vic
tory.f Eleven men walked to first on
balls and then the gladiatOrs patron
lied the "king-pin's delivery for few
hits and won the game and pennant,
probably. Then q long, loud smile
covered Glen&lvin's features and alb
sorbed portions of his neck, while there
was a correspondingly gloomy look on
Barnes usually smiling features"

ENrICING INVESTMENTS.
Circulars from swindlers Advertising
Green Goods for tho Green.


Green Goods for tho Green
A few days ago the REGISTER noted
tho fact that two members OF Council
had been the recipients OF green goods
circular, full of allurements. Another
instance OF receipt of one OF these
came TO light yesterday. One OF Wheel
ing'S wealthy and honorable citizens re-
Gently received from New York City q
circular in which the receiver OF the
same is beSought to add 70 his worldly
possessions by handling counterfeit
money, which the writer agrees TO sup
ply at the rate of ten dollars for one,
and guarantees that his cOunterfeits
cannot be detected by anyone.
The smallest purchase that can be
made is 81, 900 for $500, and the bigger
the purchase the bigger the discount"
The circular urges secrecy aid conf
dence, and explains that the name Of
the gentlemen by whom 1t was received
was obtained from mercantile book.
The letter arrangeS all details for
meeting between writer and receiver,
if desired, and is signed "You Know"
A printed slip, purpOrting to have
been clipped from New York daily,
giving an account OF the trial and ac'
quittal OF man who passed their
goods" accompanies the circular. Ex-
animation OF this slip shows, however,
that it never was cut from any paper,
but was built for the purpose for which
IL serves.
Occasionally a batch Of those circulars
is received here by prominent citizens,
whose business relatives make their
names easily obtsinable, but it is not
believed that anybody has been found
who is green enough to let go OF good
money upon the promises OF you
know"
The following extract will serve TO
show the general tone Of the circular:
"AnOpportunity to make an indie
pendent fortune like this has never
crossed your path before, and, In all
probability, never will again, as long as
you live. There is no reason why you
should be slave and toll all your life
for nothing. If you are foolish enough
to let a golden chance" like this pass
you by, all we'll and good. II you are
miserable, and in want of financial as
siStance, now or never is your time. In
years 10 come, when you fad yourself
in want Of coin" in order to keep body
and soul together, you will have no one
to blame for your wretched existence

COMMITTEES APPOINTED.
Arrangements for the Charity Bal
Rapidly Progressing.


There was another meeting OF the
projectors of the Charity ball last even
ing at the Mcclure HonSe, with much
larger attendance and an Increased in
tereSt.
One OF the first matters considered
was location, and the committee having
that in charge reported their experience
with several places, and it was decided
TO have the ball at Arion Hail, the
terms being satisfactory. and the hall,
unlike many others, being admirably
adapted for all the other concomitaIt
apartments.
The Executive Committee was ap-
pointed, as were also the other commit
lees, and in a few days will be actively
engaged in performing their duties.
There will be meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee this evening, in which
there will likely BE- some important
plans formulated. The Invitation COM
mittee numbers thirty gentlemen, and
this committee will probably hold its
first meeting early in the week. On
Tuesday evening there will be a meet
ing OF all the committees at the rooms
of the Wheeling Club, aud large at
tendance is expected. The Charity Ball
moves on apace.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Saxton, the leader on the Republican
side in the New York senate, has intro
duced concurrent resolution, looking to
an amendment of the state constitution,
by which, if adopted, the legislature will
abdicate its right to judge of the election
and qualifications of its members, and will
refer to the courts the decision in all cases
of contested seats. There is reservation,
however, that either house may have
power to expel its members for miscon-
duct.
Recent experiences in several legisla-
lures, and the admonition they afford of
what might happen under but slightly
more aggravating circumstances, clearly
indicate the wisdom of Senator Saxtons
proposition. 1t may not have been driven
into the public mind as yet, but there is
danger of bloodshed, revolution and the
disgrace of our institutions in the eyes of
the world and of our own people unless
there be some limitation placed on the
arbitrary power now employed by congress
and the state legislatures in respect to the
seating and unseating of members.
The disorganized and disgraceful con-
dition of affairs in Connecticut should
alone be sufficient object lesson.

MORE "aYPNorIC" NONSENSE.

There was meeting Of the Medico-Le-
gal Society in New York Feb. IL to dis
cuss the necessity for amendment of the
penal code and the rules of evidence in
criminal cases in conformity with recent
alleged developments of hypnotism. DIR.
Z. r. Thwing argued the question at much
length. alleging that he had made $50 ex-
periments, all with satisfactory results,
but was opposed to subjecting subjects to
examinations that might incriminate

A few days ago the New York Heyald
polled the Democratic members of the
legislatures of Is states and territory on
presidential preferences for 1892. The re-
suit showed l,515 for Cleveland, 1879 for
Hill and 276 doubtful or scattering. That,
however, was before the publication of
Cleveland's anti-silver letter. A similar
polling of the Democrats in congress at
the same time would probably have shown
a like preponderance for Cleveland in that
body. But a poll taken after the letter by
the correspondent of the st. Louis Republic,
a devoted supporter of Cleveland, showed
fully eighty per cent. of the Democrats
either hostile or disgruntled.

not because of opposition to the general
principles involved in these measures, but
because in each case the measure was
weighted with serious faults. For ex-
ample, the Fellows bill in its original form
would have been an injury rather than q
benefit to the grain producers, in whose in
terest it was designed, for the fact that it
practically makes a competitive grain mar

EFFORT TO EOUALIZE ASSESS
MENTS.

The end for which the convention of
county assessors, now in session in this
city, is striving is a very important one
II is hoped TO devise some system for equal
izing the assessments in the several coun-
ties, and thus 70 secure something like
just apportionment Of state taxation.
Heretofore each county assessor has acted
upon his own motion, without reference TO
the policy of other county assessors, and
the consequence has been the most fragrant
injustice to those counties in which the
valuations have been high. Between the
anxiety of some assessors TO "hold down"
the assessment TO please their constituents,
and the eagerness of others to make big
showing. q tremendous injustice has been
done. II is probably too much TO expect
that assessors will ever be induced to carry
out the law by assessing property at its
actual value; but it will be long step in
advance if, through general understand
ing, the equation shall be made the same
everywhere
