Mr.. EDIToR-DEAR SIR:-My attention
has been called to an article in the Grace
vile Transcript, issued Friday, August II,
1894, under the caption of "That Game with
Scott" The writer takes occasion to i'm
plicate the Morris base ball club. I cannot
refrain from answering, that if the Grace
vile base ball club can play ball as well
as it's newspaper can falsify, no am
ateur club in the state can possibly vie with
it. That 'tsix OF the Morris base ball club
played'' in the game referred to is a false
hood. The only members of the Morris
club that played were three:-i. George
Stinson, catcher; Fred Stinson, LIST baseman;
Don PeaTce, Cd baseman. As to that pOr-
ton which reads, 'It is difficult matter to
account for theirdishonorable action, unless
it was because they were still suffering from
the severe drubbing given them by Brain
erd." This is my answer:
The friends and hackers of the Morris
base ball club direct me to challenge the
Graceville club to play game OF ball, the
Morris team to comprise the same men that
played in the Brainerd series when the
'seYere drubbng" was administered. The
Graceville club TO be composed of that
great aggregation of ball players p which
took part in ''that game with Scott" The
game can take place any time within five
(5) days notice, on Morris ground, Except
Sunday. The Morris Base Ball Club never
has nor never will play a Sunday game
while under my management.) The wager
to be 800 to $500 side Morris to make
double the TALES that Graceville does in the
game.
Manager Base Ball Club of Morris.

Debs has recently declared that a
proposition is now under considera-
ton, whereby llpresent officers ofthe
A. r. U. and other unions are to re-
sign, with no possibility of reelection
to office. Immediately after this is
done an organization will be effected,
if the brotherhood will consent, which
shall include all railroad employees.
Right here is the difficulty with the
scheme, for the brotherhoods will
never consent to any such plan. Take,
for instance, the brotherhood of en-
gineers. They are now one of the
strong labor organizations of the
country and their power is recognized.
Should they drop their present organ
ization and consolidate with the other
unions, it would be fatal to them, in
that they would instead ofcontrolling
their own affairs, be under the control
of others.

Owing to his position as member
of the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, Senator Davis is in position
to speak authoratively on the effects
of the new Chinese treaty, and he is
of the opinion that it will prove most
beneficial to our commercial interests
and have direct influence to make
bi-metallism practicable. China uses
silver extensively, and as but little is
produced in that country, it should
give us market for this metal, as
under the new treaty it is confidently
expected we can, now that our access
to Chinese treaty ports is as free as
that Of any other nation, and ou1
geographical position superior to all
others, secure the greater share Of
China's vast import trade.

Unless appearances are deceptive,
there is every indication of an early
improvement in all lines of business.
Capital is once again seeking invest
ment, and this would denote that the
crisis has passed and that the times
will soon show marked change for
the better. It is to be hoped that the
reaction will be permanent, for the
past year has been such that only the
strongest have weathered its financial
storms, and they cannot longer do
battle against the gales of adversely
and the currents OF distress, for they
are now crippled, almost waterlogged
and the lee shore breakers in sight.

1t would seem as if, unless wise
counsels prevail, the senatorial con-
test will cut dangerous figure in the
state elections this fall, so far as re-
publicans are concerned. 1t is very
evident that Washburn is to meet
with fierce opposition, and also be
strongly supported in his effort to
secure denomination. Washburn's
supporters in Hennepin county are
united, determined and aggressive, and
as he has strong following through
out the state, it will be singular if the
state ticket is not jeopardized by the
contest for the senatorship, provided
Gov. Nelson is candidate.

The income tax clause of the new
tariff bill, is one of its most inn
portant features, and if it can be
fairly and equitably enforced, will
yield large revenue. Unfortunately
it will be very difficult at present to
get at the facts in regard to incomes,
much more SO than that of property
owned, but the law seems a just Que,
and in time means will be found
whereby close estimates may be made
and the tax properly paid, by those
who enjoy sufficient income to bring
them within the provisions of the act,

TEMPERANCE E1LuMN.
Hdissd by the u. c. r. ..

The WISCONSIN w. G. T. II. will
hold school of methods at the
Monona lake assembly this summer.
They will take up three lines of work,
evangelistic, scientific, temperance
instruction and loyal temperance
legion. Helen G. Rice, national
superintendent of L. T. L. work, is to
be with them. 1t is hoped to make
the school of methods permanency,
but much will depend on its success
this year.
Miss Frances E. Willard was intro
duced as zone of Americas un-

vention Of the society of Christian
Endeayor at Cleveland, Ohio. She
was greeted by the audience stand

She spoke of woman and Temper

these fresh young soldiers; this
generous enthusiasm, and the beauti-
full hopes you represent. In this city
twenty years ago the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union was
formed. am one who believes that
/ woman will bless and brighten every
place they enter, and will enter every

dreamed of. Woman's mission is not
only in the home, but to make the
whole world homelike. Protection
for the home will become the watch

lovely than we anticipated, of richly
veined alabaster- We must re-

gentle leader, Miss Willard, shall

In regard to the new tariff bill it
may be safely said. that it cannot
work very much benefit nor do any
great damage to the commercial in
dustries of the country. The new
measure is one that will be to great
extent local in its effects, and will
prove as designed, to be of more real
benefit to the politicians than to the
country. However, its passage re-
moves a disturbing element in the
commercial affairs of the nation, and
hence the settlement will do away
with one of the prime causes oil
business depression.

While before the labor commission
testifying as to the cause of the strike,
Debs was asked if he favored govern

that brought forth laughter and APP
plause.

Gov. Nelson has, in accordance
with the law, passed at the last
session Of the Legislature, issued a
proclamation making Monday, Sept.
3rd, labor day, a legal holiday. 1t is
unfortunate that either an earlier or
later date had not been selected by
the trainers of the law, as the date
ehosen,the first Monday in September,
is at time when those outside the
cities, find it next to impossible to
observe. Usually the important work

Save the Babies

Infant mortality is something frightfu We
can hardly realize that of all the children born
in civilized countries, twenty-five per cent, or
nearly one quarter, die before they reach one
year; thirty-seven per cent, or more than one
third, before they are FIVE, and one-half before
they are fifteen.
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of
Castoria would save majority of these
precious lives. Neither do we hesitate TO say
that many of these infantile deaths are occa-
stoned by the use of narcotic preparations. All
the drops, tinctures and syrups sold for chill
drens's complaints are composed principally of
opium or morphine. They are, In considerable
quantities, deadly poisons. lib any quantity,
they stupefy, retard circulation, aud lead to
COMPOSITIONS, sickness and death.
Castoria operates exactly the reverse. 1t
causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays feyers. Then the
child sleeps. He gets well. This is the way
Castoria acts. 80

that this strike will be stubbornly
contested both 10y operatives and

Palace Cars.

Under this head are composed
sleeping, hotel, dining, drawing-room,
private, hunting and composite cars.
AS long ago as 1886, the first attempt
to provide sleeping Accommodations on
train was made On the Cumberland
Valley road, in Pennsylvania. The
train from Harrisburg arrived at
Chambersburg at night, and many
travellers desired to go Immediately
through to Philadelphia. A car was
fitted up with stationary hunks, such
as are in use in steamboats,, and was
divided into four sections, each having
three births, upper, middle and lower.
Each passenger was expected to
furnish his own bedding. The first
regular sleeping car, built according
to present ideas, was constructed by a
man named Thompson, at Springfield,
Mass, i'll 1867 or 1868. This car was
bought from Thompson by the late
Webster Wagner, then a wagon-maker,
and from this has developed the great
Wagner Palace Gar company, Geo
| NJ. Pullman is another of the pioneers
/ in this business of making travel
luxurious, and his cars are known all
over the world. Another early in
ventor was Woodruff, who made con-
siderable money on his patents, by
royalties paid by both the Pullman
and Wagner companies. Sleeping
cars were first used in the state of
New York in 1858-59 The Burling-
| ton Route trains contain in the finest
products Of the Pullman company
in the way of sleeping cars of most
modern kind, and as to dining cars,
they long since had the title of
peerless bestowed on them by the
delighted public. For tickets, maps
