intercollegiate Tennis.

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 6.-The inter
collegiate championship here to-
day has kept all the players whose
collegiate career has not yet closed
from abandoning practice just
now, and all of the colleges have
held tournaments to select their
representative in the Elm City tour
nament. A few years ago the New
York collegians were at the top,
having such players as Hall and
Campbell to rely upon, but ut
present no championship is likely
to be carried off by wearing of the
blue and white. Larned captured
the first place for Cornell last year,
but is now ineligible, and Wrenn
and Chace are likely to have things
pretty much to themselves.

points, additional advanced, and at

the interior receipts being
smaller than expected and on fear
of the bureau caused rapid adj
vance.

New York Republicans Meet.

SYRACUSE, Oct. 6.-Today in this
city the war horses Of the Republic
can party will gather. and their
nominations are looked forward to
with an unwonted degree of inter-
est. Efforts have been made to Sc
cure the nomination of Joseph H.
Choate to oppose Maynard, and it
is possible that he will be chosen
to run, despite his reported declina-
tiOnS.
There are number of other
names proposed as candidates for
the judgeShip of Court Of Appeals.
Those which seem to meet with
most favor are those of eX-Surro-
gate Daniel G.. Rollins, of New
York; Walter Lloyd Smith, of
Chemung county, and Leslie W.
Russell, of st. Lawrence county.
Not so much interest is mani
tested as to the candidates for the
other positions on the state ticket.
Among those mentioned for secre-
tary of state was the Hon. Henry
q. Burleigh, of Clinton county, and
for Comptroller ex-senator Geo. b..
Sloans, of OswegO. Among the
candidates for Encouragement
was the name of Nerplanck Col
vim, who was so badly beaten in
1891.
One of the interesting features of
the gathering in Syracuse will be a
meeting Of the State Republican
league, which is to be addressed by
all the great men of the party, in
Guiding Chauncey NJ. Depew, en-
Senators Plat and HiScOCk and
Chairman BrOOktield.
The coming Constitutional con-
VentiOn is also to be the subject of
controversy in the gathering, as
delegates are to be nominated to
represent the party in next Mays
Revision convention.

nor Ireland opened the fair in his
usual pleasant manner, and his adj
dress was appreciated by all pres
ent. The exhibition hall is rather
crowded, but contains number of
things that a much larger city
might well be proud Of.
The live stock is really the feat
ure of the fair, and some magnifi-
cent animals are on exhibition
from this and adjoining counties.
There were four interesting races
this afternoon:
First race, trOtting-mile heats,
Prince Carlo, LIST; Chief Geronimo

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-05-10

neither the Sherman nor the Bland
law tended TO produce parity of the
metals, and the Sherman law is liable
to prevent the maintenance Of
the parity of the coins. That
is the danger we have just escaped. but
which is liable TO recur in the future. 1t
is the duty OF the hour to guard against
it. Our proposition was that if the parity
of the coins were maintained. and the arti-
fetal Instructions of the Sherman law re-
moved, silver, following the natural infu-
ences, would move toward It's natural
place. Most certainly the market value
of the metal is not being helped any by
the Sherman law, nor was it helped by
the Bland law. The country has al the
silver it can use. Why pursue the policy
of actual coinage when it does no good,
and is doing harm? The reason why free
coinage would maintain parity of the
metals ie that the individual could have
his metal coined on paving the seignioraQe.
Coinage by the government has no such
effect II it did, printing paper money
would enhance the value of paper.

setting up monster ships. while they have
competed with each other in further con-
structing ordnance to knock them TO
pieces So far has this policy of construc-
ton been carried that there is too much
fear in all nations to allow practical test.
When it does come, if it ever does. it will
be terrible. But the present condition OF
affairs precludes any thought that there
will be naval combat for many years yet.
The engineers may figure and calculate,
but the only real test made in recent
years have proved that the most gigantic
battle ship that sails the seas can be de-
feated by a well-managed torpedo boat ten
feet long and unarmored. What then
availeth these mighty engines Of destruc-
ton, with their powerful guns and heavi-
ly armored sides2
II these considerations be given mo-
ment's attention it will be seen that
ERICssoN's part has been rather as a man
of peace than war. He looks down upon
US from the nights of the past as q
mighty warrior. whose work has been
peaceful, after all AS such let him be
honored.
