The season of 1892 open auspiciously
for the national game of base ball. The
first days sport, Tuesday, was pretty
good evidence that the clubs will all
play ball, to use field phrase. Having
come to an amicable settlement of host
of difficulties, the different clubs are
starting in on what appears to be basis
of something like equality. There are
great individual players in nearly all the
mines and in most cases the vital point
the pitchers box--will lie strongly
guarded. The innovation by which the
season will be broken into two series
promises to only increase the genial
excitement. In fact, the counter attrac-
ton offered by the large political game
to be kept up throughout the summer
will have to be diverse and lively to get
its full share of public attention.

A NEW ISSUE IN INDIANA.

A year or two ago, under the plea of
equaiizing the rate of taxation, the lndi-
ana legislature, controlled by the Demo-
Gratis, passed u law that greatly increased
the tax rate land the operation of the new
law has already become so burdensome
as to be made leading issue in the state
this year. In Lake county the increase
has been 239 per cent, in Madison 300 per
cent, in Newton 113 per cent, and In the
other counties it has ranged from some
thing over 100 to nearly 200 per cent.
Whether this heavy increase has fallen
upon the farmers or upon those 1t was
intended to reach is not clear. The law
was designed to get at the banks, the
| loan companies, the railways and other
corporations, and to certain degree it
has been successful in this respect. Yet.
it has probably been more successful IN
piling fresh burdens on the farmers, as
| they are the least able to conceal what
they have from the assessors and they
thus almost invariably get the worst of
the torturous taxing schemes which are
adopted ostensibly in their interest.
But whoever has been hit, whether the
farmers and small merchants and trades
men or the banks and the great corpora
tons, the Republicans denounce it as an
outrage and are determined to make it
leading, if not the leading, issue And
the figures quoted show on their face
that the opponents of the new law have
a pretty strong case. The people are
quick to resent increased taxation,
especially where it touches them directly
and visibly, and are merciless in punish
ing those responsible for the fresh ex-
actions.
The Republicans have seized upon it as
a diversion from the tariff issue aud the
Democrats appear to be on the defense.
