CT VITAL IMPORTANCE.

Touching silver the late elections de
cided nothing. Maryland and New
Jersey were carried Republican partly
as protest against bossiSm. and partly
as declaration in favor of a high pro
tective tariff. Cheap wool and unpro-
tected manufactures did the work in
Ohio. In Democratic Kentucky the
administration was all powerful and il
was against the silver candidate, al

form.
But there is one great question of
vital Importance before the Republican
party that remains unSolved-a ques-
ton unchanged by the elections. One
year ago the voters of the United States
declared in no uncertain way their dis
satisfaction With the administration of
Mr.. Cleveland, repudiated the doctrine
Of free trade, and declared their firm
adherence to the policy of protection.

NEED NO REPENTANCE.

The world, for reasons at the moment
inscrutable, is made tolerable, and no
more. AS it is obvious that true di-
rection is the result of at least two con-
fiicting forces. so true progress is the
result of many and varying conditions,
whose resultant, like chemical affini-
ties, are perceptible only in their re-
suits. Were things a half a degree less
tolerable, something would happen
which would please the German philos-
opherS. Were il otherwise, we are
bound to believe it would not be for the
best. If perfection by infinite trial is
the law, if misery and degradation are
a measure of joy and exaltation, if
there is an ocean Of infinite darkness
and another of infinite light, il is inn
possible not TO perceive that If Prohi-
bition prohibited, we might, for all the
value of the saved article, take them
by wagon loads to the river and dump
them in. We are lead into these alb
surdities, il they be such, but we should
relish an explanation. on other grounds,
of the farcial disproportion between
the ninety and nine and one of the par
able. and Of the absurd joy obtaining
among unrefiecting angels over one
that repenreth, when they might more
beomingly be pointing with pride 10
the many that need no repentance.

The great lights of the church have

whole question into the single an

ability is that a majority vote of his
congregation would refute the SANDER.

who runs a road house on North Capitol

Cincinnati team, and the largest crowd of
the preliminary season is expected to attend
to-day There have been six hundred new
chairs placed in he grand stand, and the
boxes have also been reseated. The home
team will wear the new travelling uniforms,
which were worn in yesterdays game for
the first time. 1t had been intended that
the new suits should be worn in the game
to-day. but when it was remembered that
the day was Friday the superstition of
every member of the team was aroused, and
all objected. saying it would be a hoodoo
thAIemainder of the season. Although the
indications were for rain to-day, President
Watkins. said last night that if it does not
rain after 3 o'clock this afternoon the game
will be played. The ground is in such con-
dition that even though it should rain as
late as 2 o'clock the field would yet be in
condition for the game On Saturday the

Monday and Tuesday the players from Fort
Wayne will cross bats with the home team

Thomas Taggart seems to have attached
a string to his candidacy for the rnayoralty
nomination. He does not want to be an
nounced as a candidate until after the Re-
publicans make a nomination, so he can
see who his opponent will be. For the
present he is not talking, but at the same
time John w. Hoffman is building fences
and getting everything in shape to capture
the nomination. Prominent Democrats seem
to think that Hoffman is in the lead at
the present time.
For Fourth ward Councilman the names
of the present Incumbent, John Puryear,

man at large Henry Sweetland. G.. L. Knox

Baghy has been mentioned for city clerk.
William Milford is spoken of as a possible
candidate, but he has said several times
that the mention OF his name was without
authority, as he would not make the race
if Lee Nixon was a candidate. Harry
Royse has been mentioned, but he says he
will not be q candidate under any circum-

candidate. On the Democratic side the only
name mentioned is Cornelius Meyer. private

BALL CLUB AT PRACTICE.
Made About Twenty-Five Runs on q
Team of LOcnI Amateurs.

The Indianapolis Ball Club played the
Maroons. a local aggregation, yesterday
afternoon. The game afforded the League
players some practice. Had it not been for
two or three features the game would have
been intolerable. The Indianapolis players
had their pictures taken, that was one of
the features. The players formed a group
in front of the grandstand and each wore
a pennant-winning smile. Another feature
was the stupid playing of the Maroons.
They seemed ignorant of the game and the
League players had a great deal of fun with
them. Another feature was the playing of
Gettinger in center. He is the new player
secured from Louisville and if his exhibi-
ton yesterday is any Indication, he is a
valuable addition to the club. He made
four hits yesterday. one being a home run.
He showed excellent Judgment in fielding
and his running of bases was remarkable.
He is the speediest runner In the club.
Nichol pitched the first four innings for
hits. Fisher pitched three innings, allowing
four hits. Wittrock finished the game. but
two hits being made off of him. Whittridge
began to pitch for the Maroons. He was
wild and in the fifth inning gave way to
Bannister. The latter was more effective
and kept the hits scattered. No one kept
score, but after the game it was estimated
that Indianapolis had made about Is runs
to / by the Maroons. The Maroens had about
fifteen errors and five hits, while Indian
apolis had three errors and sixteen hits.
The game was witnessed by about sixteen
people, all of whom rooted for the Ma

THE HICKMAN ON TRIAL.
Bert Bailey Charged with C0mplicity
i'm the jolly

Bert Bailey, charged with highway rob
berry, is on trial in the Criminal Court. Bat
ley is the hackman who was arrested with
George Mack for robbing Joseph jolly, an
unsophisticated stockman who came from
Upton to Indianapolis. jolly wanted to see
the city by nightfall and George Mack
agreed to take hin out. Bert Bailey was
the hackman who drove the men across the
river to the resort known as Oklohomo.
During the night Jolly was found by the
police suffering from wounds on the head.
His ~pocketbook, which he said contained
$50, was gone. and he accused the men,
Mack and Bailey, of taking 1T. Mack was
sent to prison for two years. Bailey says
that his two passengers got to fighting in
the hack and had he not acted promptly
Mack would have killed the stockman. He
declares that he knew nothing of the rob-
berry. John W.. Hoffman and Willard Rob-
ertson are defending Bailey.
