Dead to the World.

The following is taken from the
Ontonagon Herald of the 18th ult,
regarding the ball team of that city,
which got shut out by the Baragas
here the previous Sunday:
''As is well known Ontonagon S
base ball team has not been PLAYING
very good ball this season, and var
ious reasons have been assigned for
their inability to handle the leath-
ern sphere, but it remained for the
Baraga team to satisfy the boys
that the reason they were playing
such poor ball was because they
could not play anything else. 1t
happened last Sunday when our
braves went oyer on the tug Tramp
and got wallopedto the tune of 81
to nothing, Sunday night they re
turned home the most detected look
ing crowd it has ever been our mis-
fortune to gaze upon. Such lam
basting Hollopeter, Morrisey and
Ford say they never saw or heard
Of club getting, and il they could
only have q game with the Boston
Bloomer girls now which they know
would mean defeat. they would be
willing to retire from the base ball
diamond forever. As il is. they are
dead to the world, and are willin o
to hand over their suits and clubs
to the rising generation, satisfied
that although they could at one
time play ball they make no preten-
sions now. On the other hand they
say Baraga has an excellent nine
but very few of them are home tai
ent, The team is selected from the
best ball stock on the peninsula and
will rank well with many a league
team. But old Ontonagon will not
be heard of again in base ball circles
until another team is organized
Put away those little clubs.

THE BALANCE OF ARGUMENT.
challenge any one to point out wherein the
charter a whole is not vast improvement
upon our present law. And, If such be shown,
twenty reasons may readily be given why the
charter should be adopted in spite OF such OBJ
jections; and if such objection be good and
valid would again say to the person so OBJ
jeeting in good faith, Do not. pray you, con-
demn the charter on that account, but give
this great measure of reform fair trial and
cure its defects by amendment In the same
manner we received the Federal constitution
under which this great country has lived and
prospered for over 100 years. 1t is impossible
30 draft charter which would be absolutely
free from defect and satisfactory to all alike.
And if we should vote against the charter and
be content to wait for a perfect and entirely
satisfactory scheme of government to be
offered to US we would simply be vnt-
ing TO perpetuate for an indefinite period
the unscien tifc inconsistent, superannuated
and corrupting laws which now oppress our
people and bind the feet of the Citys progress.
For it must be borne in mind. gentlemen. that
q vote against the charter is in favor of the
present system under which we suffer; a sys-
tenn which has summoned into life extra legal
bodies, commercial and improvement clubs
and grand juries in order to compel the chosen
officers of the people to do their duty, and TO
restrain them where the law imposes no check
and fixes no responsibility. The present gov
l,
and to perpetuate it would be reflection upon
the civic pride and the civic capacity of the
people of this City, and be a willful crime
against good government, home and country.
The chairman's address was frequently
applauded, and its eloquent concluding
words were followed by long, continued
and hearty plaudits.
G. M. Boyd nominated ]. Richard Freud
as temporary secretary and his election
was made by acclamatlon.
At the conclusion of the rollcall w. R.
Wheeler moved that as reward for their
efforts as godfather of the new charter
movement the full board of directors oil
the Merchants Association be elected
members of the convention. The motion
was adopted.
On motion of James S. Conwell the fol.
lowing were appointed as COMMITTEES to
nominate permanent officers and to draft
constitution and bylaws: James S.
Conwell, Herbert e. Law. F. w. Van
Reynegom, G. A. Laton, Colonel E. A.
Denicke. A recess was taken to permit
the committee to prepare its report.
Pending their report Horace Davis was
called upon to address the Assem- blage.
He began by saying:
II did not come here TO discuss the
