A large crowd of dissatisfied spectators
at Twin City park yesterday afternoon
saw the home team put up very ragged
article of ball. Young Man Not
Afraid of His Horse" King was in the
box for the visitors, while our tall ath-
letic, Mr.. Cushmau, he of the spider-like
delivery. chased his boomerang curves
across the rubber for the home team.
The latter, who has been sick ever since
his arrival here, went into the box yes

play ball, and pitched fairly good game

might have been expected from a crowd

SATURDAYS GAME.

The locals lost the last of the series o.
three to Rockford on Saturday by score
of to 5. Nichol was in the box for the
visitors, and the way he pushed up those
peculiar curves assisted materially in
winning the game for the Rustlrrs. This,
together with the fact that the home team
had no pitcher to put in the box, Paddy
Dale being allowed to pass balls up to
the batsman for seven innings, also aided
our visitors in their victory. The score
stood 4 to in favor of Rockford at
the end OF the seventh inning, when Mr..
Dale was allowed to return 10 his place

A CHILD'S EARLY INFLUENCES.

Nothing is so easily spoiled as child
Walk with your little babe few nights
when you wish to put it to sleep, or ae
custom it to rocking, then attempt to
put it to sleep without this habit, and
see how difficult it will be to get it to
sleep The parent must from the be
ginning of the child s existence do those
things to which the child is TO conform.
1t is allowing children to have their
own way during the first few years of
their lives that makes them so hard to
control. Before they are able to talk
they are being nodded by the actions of
those around them.
1t is therefore highly important that
from the beginning the best influence
and example Should be about the child.
l. is serious mistake in parents to
commit their children wholly into the
hands of a nurse. No parent can afford
to do this, even though they have very
kind and careful nurse. Every mother
desires that her child bear the impress
OF her own image. This cannot be when
1t Is with the nurse more than with the
mother.
Few people have any idea of the ex-
tent Of the part performed by nurses in
the Information OF society. Many a
mother wonders where her son or
daughter learned these things, or form
ed that habit. Or heard such and such
an expression. Let her listen a few
minutes at the nursery door and all
Will be maze plain.

KISSES.
HOW THIS UNEXPLAINABLE THING Is
SANCTIFTED By LOVE.
Music and Drama1

Music and Drama]
Whatever kiss may be, there is but
one thing that sanctifes it, one thing
that should permit it, one thing that
should demand it, and shat is love. Not
necessarily the love OF sweetheart. it
may be the love of friendship, provid-
ing it be not friendship between man
and woman-the love existing in a
family.
Is not that kiss mockery which one
woman gives another when meeting,
when but few moments before she
had been gossiping about the one she
now salutes? We are thankful that at
last fashion has taken it in hand and
frees US from the gushing woman who
salutes us on all occasions with kiss.
We are glad that the custom Of present.
lug the cheek in preference to the lips
is becoming popular. It is custom
brought home by the foreign school girl
and the convent bred girl of our own
land.
The girl who has been taught to offer
her cheek on all occasions. who has re-
ceived a kiss on her brow, as a great
honor, will not be SO apt to give her
lips to the first knight who comes a
wooing, the first y ~ who firts with
her. She will know tat her lips should
only be kissed by one that she is sure
loves her alone, ard to whom alone she
has given her heart.
We are told that the jealous Greek
made his wife eat onions before she
went from home. I wonder if she
made him smoke cigarettes, drink beer
and eat cheese when he went on his
wonderings.
But truly the old Greek knew how to
protect his wife's lips. One-half the
pleasure of kiss is in it's fragrance
the Elusive sweetness that makes
child S face SO tempting and alluring.

Reduced Rates for CIergymen on the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
announces that commencing on Februa-
ry l5.h. 1892, tickets will be sold to
Ministers Of the Gospel holding proper
clerical orders, at half rates. This ar
rangement will apply to all tickets sold
on the Pennsylvania Railroad lines east
Of Pittsburg and Erie as well as to the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, so
that a clergyman may not only be able
to secure a ticket at half fare between
any stations east of Pittsburg and Erie,
but may enjoy the same privilege in the
purchase of ticket to Cleveland, Chi
cago. Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapo-
lis, St. Louis, or intermediate points.
This concession in the interest of so
deserving a class is fresh evidence Of
the liberality of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and cannot fail to impress itself
upon the appreciation of those whom it
is designed to benefit

A Free Trade Scheme.

Certain advocates Of tue Spring,r
Free Wool bill, in and out Of Congress
have impudently asserted that il was
in no sense a free trade measure. but
that it was founded on the principle Of
moderate protection This view Of the
bill has been persistenlly urged where it
would do the most good In other
quarters the mask has been thrown off
aud the bill paraded as ! striking illus
tration Of pure and simple free trade. A
free trade Democratic organ triumphant
" declares that "the bill ibolishing the
duty on raw wool aud reducing Il e DUTY
on manufactured woolens strikes a! the
very base of the protective system. -
The organ tells the truth.
Tie Springer bill is free trade
scheme. It "strikcs at the very base Of
the protective system" by providing + r
the extinction Of the vast industry thai
last year produced $50, 600 900 pou ds
Of American wool, and by reducing the
duty on manufactured woolens to point
where it no longer protects the operative
in the WOODEN flctory from competition
with the cheap labor Of other lands
Its enactment would result, as Mr..
Springer himself proclaims, lin very
great increase in impOrta'ions. 1t is
framed throughput in the interest of for
eign wool growers and manufacturers
and against the interest of our own
wool growers and manufac .urers. 1t is
as un American as Tie record and pur-
poses of the party that is behind it.
Fortunately for the nation Democratic
control in the national government is
confined to the House of Representatives
While Republicanism is intrencbed in
the Senate and the White House the
agents of British free trade are power
less to break down American industries.
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1892-02-26

The bold n-Americanism of some
free traders is astounding. Represen-
tative Whiting, of Michigan, is the
member of the Ways aud Means Com
nittce 20 whom Chairman Springer re-
ferrod the question of free salt The
Free Trade World of New York says
that he will report in favor of abolisbing
the salt duty, not because American
salt is not so good or so cheap as foreign
salt-on the contrary, he says we can
produce sal; as good and as cheap as it
can be produced anywhere else in the
world-but because there is an absurd
pref .lice among certain consumers in
fasor of English salt He seems to
think that the Interests of the Aneri-
cans engaged in salt making IN this
country should be sacrificed to this un-
founded pr Judi,e of AnglomaBiacal salt
users, and the World can see DosbiRg
reprehensible in his proposition.

Bureau of Labor statistics.

Representative Laird's bill which
provides Tor the Reorganization Of the
bureau OF Labor, has become a law
and 1t changes a comparatively
worthless branch Of the State
government into a bureau Of great use
fuIness to the people.
In speaking of the law the Morning
Herald srys:
The bill provides for the appoint.
ment of a Chief of the Industrial Blu
reau by the Governor, on a salary oil
81 900 year. lie will be allowed a
further appropriation to conduct the az
fairs Of bis office and to pay for the pub
licntion of reports. The present law /.
repealed, aud. in its place, statute i.
enacted which greatly enlarges the func-
tons Of the bureau. In addition to col
Letting statistics in regard to m lnufac-
turing industries. strikes, wages and la
Dor organization, the cLief of the new
bureau will be required to collcc, iufor-
nation concerning. agriculture, land val
ues. quarries, mines, transportation lines
and such other mltters as naturally per-
tain TO his Office 1t is expected to uti.
lie this information by way Of scatter
ing it broadcast over the United States
as well as foreign countries in the hope
of attracting immigrants to our vacant
lands and uudeveloped resources.
But by far the greatest benefit to be
derived from this Law and the bureau
which it will establish is to be enjoyed
within the State Of Maryland itself. The
Paucity Of information at any given CEN
re abou. MarylInd and its resources is
a standing disgrace to the State. The
journalist. the special student, the legis-
latOr or the ordinary man who wishes to
gather facts about the State or one of its
counties or even one of its towns OF
cities cannot do so, except at the ex-
pensc of effort, time and money, often
beyond his power to command.
There has been abundant talk about .
historical museum, all Of which is to b
commended, but of equal importance is
the bureau established by the Lairc
law, which will be charged with the al
important work of aCcumulating facts
about Maryland as it is to-day The

direction. j"
