The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1892-06-25


THE United STATES SENATORsHIP.
Those who doubted the ACCESSIBILITY
of electing United States Senators
by direct vote Of the people have
It seems to us, received sufficient evil
dence that they erred in the PROPOSE
ton. The present Legislature, Ill
that respect, has been a farce. Day
after day has it met and gone
through the formality of a ballot
simply because the law makes 1t
compulsory for it to vote once daily
until there is an election. This body
seems to think that the United States
Senatorship is an Office of little i'm
portance, one in which the people
have little interest. Those not &C.
auainted with the situation would
Judge SO any way. The dilatory
manner in which this body has acted
in this matter should be powerful
argument in favor of electing by a
direct vote of the people. This is
the correct method any way. The
people are sovereign and should
WELD the scepter over every part and
parcel of the government. Had this
mode of election prevailed, sue
cessor to General Gibson would
have been named long since. This Is
an awakening age, that is to say, the
people are awakening to the fact that
MANY evils have existed which they
were blind to, that the elective ma
chinery contained many schemes
which deprived them of inherent
rights, and their awakening has been
akin to that of the lion aroused from
his slumber; something is going to
happen, and stolen rights shall be res
tored. The popular cry is, "let the
people name the United States Sena-
tors and this cry will prevail, fol-
the power which has authority has
declared it.

At this time almost anybody could beat
Ives at billiards. In their idle moments
the boys used to play for small sums and
Ives always got the worst of it. Nothing
daunted, he kept on practicing and los
ing. Then the tide began to turn. He
became SO proficient in the manipulation
of the worries that he could masse, draw,
follow, and play for position with the
best of his colleagues.
He not only won back all the money he
had lost, but quite a sum besides. Then
the base ball chaps wouldn't play any
more. He kept on improving and when
he finally left the base ball field he went
into George Slosson's billiard-room in
Chicago as cashier. He must have done
this with the ultimate intention of be-
coming a professional. At any rate he
kept hammering away industriously at
the balls, and when he left Slosson's en-
ploy he at once SHE'D his castor into the
professional billiard arena.
This was in November, 1885, He en-
tered the Chicago billiard tournament
and won fourth prize. Since that time
he has steadily improved, and by his de-
feat of "Wizard s" Schaefer has attained
the proud position of champion of the
world.

HUB COLLINS DEAD.

Considered to be Ono OF the Resx ALL
Round Players In the Country.
Hubert Collins, of the Brooklyn League
team, who died on Saturday, May 81, was
justly considered one of the best all
round players in the country. He played
indeld and outfeld positions equally well
and was winner at the bat and on bases.
Collins was native of Louisville, where
he was born in 1865. He took naturally
to base ball, and played with the amateur
teams of Louisville in his youth. He
signed his first professional contract in
1884 with the Columbus, Ga, Club. He
remained with that organization the fol-
lowing year, and in 1885 joined the Savan-
nah Club. Louisville secured his services
in 1887, and he played in his native city
until fhe Brooklyn Club obtained his re-
lease In 1888.
He was of sturdy, athletic build, rather
above the medium in height, and SPLEEN
didly proportional in figure. He was a
feet runner, and agile in all his move
mantS.

A MASTER OF SPORTS.
The Wonderful Career of Billiard
Champion Frank Ives.

| Champion Frank Ives.
Youthful Frank Ives, who short time
| ago wrested the billiard championship OF
| the world from the "Wizard" Jake
| Schaefer, and who on May 81, defeated
| with ease the crack George Slosson, was
| born in Plainfield, Mich, in 1869. He ran
| about town in the free and easy manner
of country boys in general and was devil
| may care sort of q lad, with weakness
| for games of all sorts. By the usual
evolution of boyish instincts he passed
through the successive ages of marbles,
tops and kites to the more athletic age of
ball playing. Then all at once somebody
owning a country racehorse discovered
that Frank could ride. He became a
Jockey and for two seasons paralyzed the
people of Michigan by his daring horse
manship.
He soon became tired of this. There
was not enough variety in it. He yearned
for new sports to conquer. Therefore he
discarded the spurs and whip and bought
a bicycle. Then he began to come home
in the evenings minus various pieces of
cutlcle, and with numerous bruises scat
tered over his anatomy. He stuck to his
wheel, however, and in few months
could ride it in almost any fashion but
standing on his head. He made his debut
as fancy rider, and subsequently won
the fancy bicycle championship of Michi-
gan.
Then Frank became bIase on the bicy-
Gle question. He was an athletic Alex
ander, always looking for something new.
He next turned his attention to roller
skating. Of course he developed the
usual beginners habit of falling up over
the chandeliers before he started down.
That did not discomfort him in the least.
1t was simply one of the little difficulties
he was bound to overcome. In the course
OF month or two he could cut an alleged
pigeon wing, and at the end of half
year he could pivot and twirl and make
mashes with his airy grace along with
the best of them. He received several
medals before he again became bsase.
Ives next turned his restless instincts
into the channel of base ball. He received
several black eyes and lost several finger
nails, but that made no difference. Hesoon
became proficient in the matter of pick
ing up grounders and batting curves, and
joined the Petosky, Mich, team. From
here he went to Lima, o., where he bios
somed out as aprofessional with O'Brien,
the Cleveland pitcher, who died last win
ter.

A Bullet Ends His Career.

Tilton Almont, record 2.26, and sire OF
seven trotters in the 2.30 list, fell and
broke his leg last week, and the break
was SO bad that it was found impossible
to save him, so friendly bullet put an
end to his sufferings. Tilton Almont was
bay horse, foaled in 1872 by Almont,
dam by Clark Chief, and was wonderfully
successful in the stud, considering his
opportunities. He was the property OF
DR.. Burton, of Colusa, CAL, and was bred
by r, Tilton, of Carlisle, KY.

Now how can the Democratic party ever
expect to win in any fight unless it can draw
sufficient recruits 10 its ranks to give il
numerical superiority; And where can It get
these recruits except from the ranks Of the
old Republican organization? Every Demo
cratic platform that has been framed. every
Democratic speech that has been made. and
every Democratic campaign that has been
carried on since the war, have been full OF
appeals to the people to abandon

The vast majority Of the party are ready and
willing TO extend, with sincerest cordially, the
right hand Of fellowship to all Republicans
who wish 10 change their political faith, and
are prepared to unite with them in working to
redeem the country. The Democratic party
needs all the help it can get from these gen

and if it wishes to succeed it must meet them
half way and adopt for its motto, he that Is
not against Us is on our part" Any other
course leads only 10 seli-destruction, and those
who would advise differently are exceedingly
foolish and uuwise counsellors.
