Brnttlcboros :. Northanptons !.

The much-vaunted, all-star combination
from northampton made their first appear
ance in Brattleboro on Tuesday, and grace
fully kissed the dust, : to ,, in game
characterized by good pitching and weak
hitting. Other characteristics were the
base running and sacrifice hitting of the
home players, this kind of work doing
much to turn the tide in their favor.
Brilliancy was lacking in the fielding, the
chances being easy to accept. Bowers did
as he pleased with the visitors, three sin
giles being the sum total of their hitting.
WoodcOck's slow curves were also decep-
tive, and he was hit safely but six times.
Leahy split his hand in the seventh inning
and gave way to Powers. The injury is
one which will trouble him in PLAYING for
a long time. The Brattleboro scores were
made in the different innings as follows:
list, one by O'Neill on Coughlins error. a
stolen base, and sacrifices by Ranney and
Fitzmaurice; Sd, one by Keay on an error
by Damon, passed ball, Stuart sacrifice
and Smiths failure to stop ground ball
from O'Neill bat; 9th, one by O. Neil on
a base on balls and errors by Damon and
Ryan; It'll, one by Bowers who hit safely.
was forced to second by Hickey who took
first on called balls, scoring on Murphy's
two Dagger; 9th, two by Bowers and Kcay,
the former being hit by pitched ball and
stealing second, and the latter hitting
safely, taking second on the throw in, and
scoring on a base hit by Stuart. Woodcock
scored for northampton in the third on a
base on balls, stolen base and Bannon 5
hit; and Coughlin in the eighth on a SINH
lar combination of plays. Murphy and
Bannon, the first two batsmen on each
side, were struckIout on three pitched balls,
Murphy and Fitzmaurice, and Smith and
Slater were thrown out at second during
the game. The score

Deafness Can,r Re Cured

By local applications they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way To cure deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when il
is entirely closed Deafness is the result and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh which, is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces
We will give one Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafnesscaused by Catarrh) that we can not
cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Mr.. CLEVELAND AED THE IRISH.

Prominent Irish Republicans in and
about New York are making matters
very lively for Mr.. Cleveland. Paul V.
Flynn, editor of the New Jersey Trade
Review. hearing that a prominent Buff
falo lawyer, Edwin G. Robbins, had
made an affidavit a week before the
election of 1888 relative to Mr.. Cleve-
lands hostility to the Irish O few years
ago, wrote to him for the facts. Mr..
Robbins furnished them, as well as the
affidavit, which is published in the New
York Recorder of Saturday. The afii-
been acquainted with Mr.. Cleveland
twenty years and upward; that when he
was talked of for Mayor of Buffalo, in
1881, John &. Sheehan, brother of the
present Lieutenant-governor. had al
ready been nominated for controller by
the Democrats, and Cleveland refused
to accept the nomination for Mayor,
"then and there saying, in deponent's
presence. with an oath, that he would
not 60 on the ticket with that Irishman,
meaning ~Sheehan," and that be accept
ed the nomination on condition that
Sheehan should withdraw from the
ticket, which he did. The Robbins affi-
davit closes with the following declara-
tion:
And deponent further says that on sew
eral occasions he has heard said Cleveland
assert that BIO would never vote for an
Irishman, and particularly not for an irish
Roman Catholic. for the reason that he be-
lieved them all treecherous and unworthy
Of support.
In giving the Robbins affidavit to the
public, Mr.. Flynn, who is ardently de-
voted to the Irish cause, says:
Dangers threaten this country-dangers
incident to the British system of free trade,
asystem which has parslyzed and virtuslly
destroyed the manufacturing industries of
the people of Ireland. These dan gers are
encouraged by Grover Cleveland, the Dem
ocratic candidate for President. who has
the audacity now to expect Irishmen TO
vote for him when he has denounced them
as trescherOus and unworthy of support.

THE N LAW UPHELD.

The Supreme Court of the United
States upholds the constitutionality of
the Miner law. which provides for the
election of presidential electors by con-
g~ressioDal districts instead of by the
State as a whole. This decision will
not be q surprise to those who are even
tolerably familiar with the question in
volved. There is no doubt of the right
of a State to adopt this mode of choos-
ing presidential electors. The Consti-
tuition of the United States provides
that leach State shall appoint, in such
manner as the Legislature thereof may
direct, a number of electors equal to the
whole number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives to which the State may be en-
titled in the Congress-" This leaves 1t
quito within the discretion of the Legis-
lature of each State to fix the mode of
choosing electors. They may be APP

pointed by the Legislature itself, as in
deed they formerly we're in several
States, elected by the people of the
State at large, or by congressional dis
tricts.
The objection to the Michigan law
does not lie against the principle of the
law SO much as against its motive and
the manner of it's adoption. For obvi-
ous reasons it is desirable that the
method of choosing presidential electors
should be uniform in all the States. The
Michigan law is a departure from the
established rule, and was enacted for
avowedly partisan purposes. The Su-
preme Court could not take notice of
this fact, and it does not go to the ques-
ton of the const%itutionality of the law,
but it is not ,rious. In the enactment of
the Michigan law there was no pretense
that the people desired a change in the
mode of choosing presidential electors
or that the public welfare or conyen-
fence would be promoted thereby; it was
done by the Democrats for the sole pur-
pose of gaining n small partisan ad-
vantage. Michigan is q Republican
State. and, according to any fair
rule of construction, her solid elect
oral vote should be cast for the
Republican candidates for President
and Vice-president. Under this law the
Democrats will get three or four of her
fourteen electoral votes, and possibly
more. 1t is q small steal, but when 1t
comes to stealing the Democratic code
recognizes trifes. Their motto is "every
little helps"
The worst effect of the Michigan law
is that it will set the example for SIM
liar changes in other States, and per-
haps for new and unheard-of methods
of choosing presidential electors by
which one party or the other may hope
to gain an advantage. 1t will be a
strong encouragement to congressional
gerrymanders, since the number of con
gressiOnal districts controlled by a mi
nOrity party may be made to insure so
many electors, and it will put an end to
uniformity in the method of choosing
electors unless the Constitution of the
United States shall be so amended as to
require it. There is only one way to
prevent the Democratic party from re-
sorting to fraudulent tricks of this kind
to gain party advantage. and that is by
providing constitutional restrictions so
plain and strong that they cannot be
gotten over or around.

ONE of the best points which has been
made against tho Cleveland policy was
that of Isaac Reed, formerly a miner ia
Cannelton, and q veteran of the Union
army, which he put in these words:
During q part of his administration Mr..
Cleveland had on deposit without interest.

the annual interest on this sum was S.. 600.

debt bearing interest, thus retiring some
of the bonds held by the favored banks.

IN THE DAYS OF WILDCAT BANKS.

Mr.. w. G. Whiting, of C%ynthiana,
docks Bank Mirror" issued in April,
1861. The Mirror was published in Gin
cinnati and was devoted exclusively to
setting forth the condition of the banks
and the paper currency of that day.
The number before US was issued just
before the beginning of the war. while
the various State bank systems were
still in operation. 1t presents n curious
and instructive picture of the paper
currency of that period. On the first
page is an %"uncurrent money table"
giving the quotations of the notes OF
different banks in the money centers
lat the time we go tn press" The quo
tations are of solvent banks only, the
discredited banks being in a separate
list, yet the notes of all the solvent
banks were at q discount. Those of the
Bank of the State of Indiana were 1 per
cent. discount in New York, IL in Phil
adelphia. and l per cent. In Pittsburg.
They were par at home. Indiana free
bank notes were 2 per cent. discount in
New York, A per cent. in Philadelphia,
8 per cent. in Baltimore, and 2 per cent.
in Cleveland. Illinois and Wisconsin
notes were 2 per cent. discount in New
York, 8 per cent. in Philadelphia and 10
per cent. in Baltimore. On the same
page with this table is the following
notice:

of our subscribers we caution them
against dealing with travelling brokers.
Avoid them. AS their charges are invaria-
bly, double the market rates. Send by mail,
in registered letters; or. if in large amounts,
by express.
This will, remind many of the older
readers of the Journal of the active bus
mess that was done in those days by
broker who dealt in deprecated and
uncurrent bank notes. The constant
%fluctuation of the notes opened a wide
field for speculation. and the brokers
had the best of it all the time. Thepeo-
pie suffered.
Counterfeiting was q great business
in those days, and would be again if the
State-bank system should be re-estab-
lished. An editorial paragraphs the Mir
ror states that "the detectives of Wash
ington, ID. c., rave made an immense
seizure of counterfeit notes on twenty
seven banks, amounting TO $227,00 in
Guiding $500 900 on the Bank of Augusta,
Maine, $4,000 on the Bank of Ohio."e etc.
