The Mountsineers seem to have
struck their gait again, and If their bat
ting streak continues they will make IL
them. They defeated the Farmers"
from Petersburg easily yesterday after
noon, and outplayed them at every
point. though both teams were chasing
each other up and down the error
column, with the Farmers little in the
lead.
CheeBbro and Kane were pitted against
each other in the contest, and both were
hit freely, each team securing twelve
safe hits. Cheesbro pitched q cool, nervy,
brilliant game, and kept the hits pretty
we'll scattered, while Kane, who ap-
pesred to have plenty Of self confidence,
went to pieces in the third and fourth
and allowed the locals to touch him for
run by Harry Tate. In the above named
innings he had all the snap and ginger
knocked entirely ous of him.
The most sensational play was made
by Gochnaur, who pulled down q foul
fly way back Of first base. The fielding
Of WPigley and Cockman was of o first
class order. Whitehill is getting bis
eye on the ball and in yesterdays game
he made three hits.
Harry Tate was in the game from start
| to finish. He smashed out three.
Dagger to deep center the first time he
went TO bat, and the second time, when
the bases were full, he smashed another
in the same place, and sprinted all the
way around the diamond before the
ball could be thrown in.

cracking out three two-baggers and
nine singles during the game. Stan.

at the plate. The Farmers started the
run getting in the hrst inning. Dundon
| walked to first on four balls, Kelly hit
safely to right field for one base, Breen
| went out on O sacrifice hit, and Dundon
scored on Brodie's long fly to center
field. Stanhope was given his base on
balls, and in stealing second Kelly
scored.
In thesecond, by punching their hits,
the visitors sent another man across the
rubber. In the fourth Quinn hit safely,
followed by Dundon, who raped out a
two Dagger. Quinn was caught out al
to Grove. The visitors added two more
locals, and scored their last time in the
sixth. Kelley hit safely, as also did
Breen, and the former scored on Bro
dies fly to Whithill.

SILVER VERSUS SOLDIERS.

One Of the greatest dangers to re-
publican form Of government Is a large
standing army. This fact was fully
reslized by the founders of the repub
lie and this principle has been recog-
nized by leading statesman of all par
ties in the subsequent history of the
country. Recently. however. there has
been strong demand in some quarters
for large organized militia force and
among the advocates of such o measure
is the Philadelphia Times.
The reasons given by that journal for
an increase OF the national militia are
the dangers Of foreign complications
and domestic troubles. 1t would have
this force so drilled and disciplined that
IT could be put In the field within a
fortnight after the call OF the President,
and the plan Of organization favored is
that pursued by the State OF Pennsyl-
vania, which has the best national
guard organization in the United States.
1t rays bill has been prepared by Gen.
eral Doe, assistant secretary OF war, the
passage of which would insure "a uni =
form organized militia force on On
actual military basis in every State and
territory in the Union"
This bill provides that the militia of
the nation shall consist of every able
bodied male citizen in the States and
Territories and District OF Columbia be
tween the ages of 1s and IS years. and
divides them into two classes to be
known as the organized and reserve
militia. The organized militia will be

tional guard Of Pennsylvania. and com
