SOUTHERN BALL LEAGUE
Will There Be Six or Eight Clubs, Is the Dues.
ton-President Powers Not Friendly
Towards Memphis.

The question of the hour among lovers
of baseball is: Twill there be six or
eight clubs in the Southern Lacquer"
Just now it is hard to tell anything
about the matter. Nashville has been
rooted out and Columbus, Ca, is in a
hating condition, and Memphis also
seems to be little under the weather.
The Memphis Scimitar says the inn
preston prevails in that city that Presi-
dent Powers is not inclined to be friend
ly to that city, but this is thought to be
an error in view of the fact that Mr..
Powers has used every honorable means
to get the league in shape Y
Manager Frank of the Memphis asso-
citation has notified President Powers, the
Scimitar says, that his club will not have
anything to do with six club league,
holding as an argument that a Six-cor-
nered machine failed to pay once before.
Manager Frank is awaiting a telegram
from President Powers, and if it proves
unsatisfactory he says he will wire the
men who have signed with him and give
them their releases.
The Scimitar further says:
Shreveport papers of Sunday contain
ed dispatches from Powers offering that
city franchise in the league. At that
time the fans of that city were busy
hustling to get the necessary money.
Fifteen hundred dollars was the amount
mentioned in the article.
Jack Sneed, better known in Memphis
as Buster Sneed, who six years ago
played left field and managed a club for
this city in the Southern league, has
been in Memphis for the past three
weeks. Night before last he left for
Nashville to make movement to secure
the management of a team in that city.
1t Is said that Sneed had private informal
ton from patrons of the game in Nash
vile that club would be organized there
to take the franchise given up by Mr..
White and his co-laborers. Sneed is an
old-time player and a good manager, and
he may yet save the day for Nashville,
which step would likewise save the day
for Memphis, for it$eems that on the en-
trance of Nashville hangs the fate of
Memphis
the agony will be over. The fans will
know whether or not there Is to be base
ball or no baseball in Memphis for the
season of 1885,
Thus it will be seen that there is really
no need for six club league. Shreveport
wants to get in and Nashville may be
resurrected from the trench into which
she has fallen, because of the town being
good one for ball playing.
At the New Park.
Work for the time being Is practically
stopped at the new baseball park owing
to a lack of lumber Contractor Wells in
formed a State Herald reporter that If
he could have gotten the lumber in time
he would have had his work completed.
In Columbus. Ga.
President Scion Jacobs and President
Powers are in Columbus and using every
effort to make a success of the under
taking.

Another Cuban Expsdition.

Philadelphia, March 31.-It is reported
that another large expedition will soon
sail for Cuba. The port of departure and
the time of sailing are involved in doubt,
although 1t is said that the vessel may
get away within the next forty-eight
hours. The vessel which will take out
the expedition is reported to be a large
steamer recently purchased by the Gu
ban junta in this country. 1t is further
said that the steamer will be strongly
manned and that she will mount several
heavy rified guns, with which she could
carry on hot argument with any of the
Spanish cruisers patrolling Cuban wa
ters. Besides small arms and ammuni-
ton, the vessel will carry out for the in
surgents rapid fire and machine guns.
The expedition is the most formidable
one that has yet been fitted out

SHAM BIMETAII,ISTS

O. yes; we are well aware there are

contributor from Montgomery sends
to the State Herald today a very intelli-

the fact that voters have been deceived

PATRIOTIC.

The sound money democrats of Coosa
county are certainly acting the part of
patriots, that is, the major part of them
are. Within the last few days they have
determined in the interest of party har-
mony and the success of the democratic
party in their county and in the state at
large to waive the financial question,
withdraw their opposition to Johnston
and go to work to procure his nominal
ton. They fully realize that Johnston is
the available candidate, and, being loyal
party men, they are unwilling to longer
work for the nomination of a man
who cannot bring any support to the
party in August. This course proves
those gentlemen to be not only demo-
Gratis, but patriotic democrats. Thou
sands of other sound money democrats
throughout the state are coming to see
and realize the situation in the same
manner as the Coosa county sound mon
ey democrats.
Truly it is gound swell to Johnston,
and no man can estimate just how near
ly the state will come to going unani-
mously for Johnston on next Saturday
week. 1t is now entirely within the
range of possibility that Clarke will not
get the delegations from a half dozen
counties in the state. What has trans
PRED in Coosa county within the last
few days Is more than likely to have
transpired in other counties, and If 1t has
not yet it will in all probability take
place. 1t is now pretty certain that Mo-
bile county has slipped away from the
"blue-eyed boy of destiny" and with it
has gone his heretofore possible chance
of carrying a few of the counties in
which Johnston has made no fight. We
repeat. it is ground swell to Johnston.
Clarke is absolutely not in the race

We recommend the notice of the Hon.

his Gadsden speech, the following Ian
guage of one of Americas most dis
tinguished political economists, Gen.
Francis A. Walker: "Some monometal-
lie writers, indeed, have undertaken to
prove that demonetization of silver has
had nothing to do with the fall of gold
prices. Such proposition is on its face
monstrous, absurd. If number of ma
tions have largely diminished their use
of silver and largely increased their use
of gold, this must have had the effect to
lower prices expressed in terms of gold.
To deny it Is to deny that demand and
supply determine value"
