WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Baltimore players claim that Lynch gave them the worst of it on Saturday, and argue that he seemed to realize how inn portant New York victory would be. They say that Lynch waited to see New York win and that all his rulings were in Wards favor.
 Within 120 of 50,O00 people saw the games in thasi x4eague cities on Saturday, of which 18,T00 were in New York and Is, ,O00 in Philadelphia.
 It is singular that the hardest kick against Umpire O'Rourke, and which f. nally resulted in his being temporarily suspended, came from the club that recom- mended him the strongest for the position Brooklyn:
 Mike Kelly is still after Mark Baldwin. The liking" last week wired him as follows: .'Do you want to play with the best team in the country? If so come on.' The results in the league race so far are somewhat of surprise, but the fact that the supposedly weakest teams started off winners proves nothing. Their spurt is only temporary, and the latter part of the summer will find them battling for rear end honors. Should there be an exception to this Baltimore will be the club to fun nish it, as it is the strongest team the monu- mental city has ever had.
 Arlie Latham spares nobody. His most | choice remarks this season are addressed l to his team mate, Dummy Hoy. Here's | boy who never says word" shouted the clown last week as Hoy went to the plate, 'but he can make that old bat of his I talk in seven languages, besides Won der Ahe English ' When Hoy gets base and | Arlie goes out to coach him around, the spectators are treated to roaring open air | farce comedy.
 Ely of St Louis is doing some heavy | hitting. Out of thirty times at the bat he ! has made fifteen hits, including three
 home runs, one triple and two doubles.
 His fielding has been of the highest order.
 Philadelphia leads the league in fielding
 up to date. Her team has made but 12
 errors. Chicago is la 't with 31 errors to
 her credit.

USE ON YOUR LAWNS SturteYant'S Granulated Tobacco and Sulphur For '- Fertilizing and
 Other Purposes

Being oderIess and clean and without foseIgn seeds, 1t has no equal as a lawn dressing. It Is convenient in form, easy of application, and will not burn or injure the lawn. For all garden or field pur- poses it stands at the head of all fertilizers in the market It Is less in cost, Is double in bulk, and will do all work better There is no vegetable which cannot be sue cessfully grown by this product. For towering plants of all descriptions there is nothing ih the world that will produce such a fine growth and luxuriant flower. In flower beds or in potting plants the grsnulated tobacco stems mixed with the soil, in proportion of about one part to five of soil, will produce lasting effects for the entire season

adopt the same business plans As our
enemy against oil honest men and
women who are not owned body and

shave perfect right to do business,
strike dividends per capita, or from the

can take care Of our sick, or pay men

The nBtionRlists have been called pa

ternalism belong to one or more frster-
nal or beneficial orders and there is only
this difference: Every dollar paid into
these orders is hsrd'earned cash, and
when the members need assistance the
treasury is generally bankrupt In hav-
ing the government administered to
protect the weak against the strong and
use the natural revenues for that pur-
pose instead Of paying large salaries to
representatives 10 90 Ito Washington to
advance their own interest, as shown,
we can issue q money ss good as gold.
To get that money in circulation, every
city and county needs improvements,
such as streets, schoolhOuses, bridges,
and roads as demonstrated by issuing
bonds and selling them in the market.
Lst such counties as desire issue an in
terest-besring bond, payable at a stated
time. Deposit that bond with the gov
srnment the same as the banker depos-
Its his government bond, draw 100 per
cent, in greenbacks, then the people
would be paying interest to the govern
ment instead Of the government paying
interest to aliens and bankers, and the
farmers paying interest on national
bank notes that those securities are
already drawing interest for the govern
ment. / merely call your attention to
this for the sake OF education.

A recent Washington dispatch says:

A recent Washington dispatch says:
The interstate commerce commission has
had under confederation for some time the
charges Of remission Of millions Of dollars
Of rebate 10 the shippers on the Atchison,
Topeka q Santa Fe railroad in violation Of
che interstate commerce laws. The charges
were the subject Of q thorough investigation
by j. I. MarOhand, a clerk Of the commits
sion, who was detailed by the commits sion
ers TO make an examination in New York
city.
The inquiry has been completed, and Mr..
MarOhand has returned to Washington and
submitted his report TO the commissioners,
and the matter has since been discussed at
the commissioners sessions. Colonel Will
liam r. Morrison, the chairman Of the
commission, said to-day that the report
embodied practically only the facts brought
out in the statement of Expert Little.
''The Offense," he said, sis a very COM
mon one, and there are several other roads
against which the similar charges are now
pending. 10 10 q very difficult matter 10
prove the guilt, as both the road and she
shipper are involved in the guilty transao-
tionS, and each naturally is not disposed to
make revelations.
''Both the railroad officials and the ship
pers are absolved by Judge GroSsOup in
Chicago from giving testimony inOriminab-
ing themselves. I'VE cannot take any action
except for our own purposes, save 10 for
ward 10 the United States district attorney
any new facts that may be brought TO light
By the commission. The prosecution must
be carried forward in these cases by the
courts a. in the other criminal offenses."
Imagine the interstate commerce COM
mission, during the late strike, investi-
eating the subject Of interference by
strikers with interState commerce and
submitting q report that they find the
men guilty, but that nothing can be
done but to report the facts. Oh, what
9 farce this government has become, and
